It had been raining heavily in the Jing capital recently, but it turned into a drizzle in the evening. Even so, Li Rongrong was drenched by the rain.
"Stop! What are you doing!" Although someone was holding an umbrella for Li Rongrong, she kept struggling. It was as if the umbrella seemed to be useless. Her arm was being pulled by someone. When she saw the youth surrounded by the crowd, she became even more anxious. "Butler Bai, let him go. There's nothing between us. He's just accompanying me home. Please, he's about to take the college entrance exam. What will happen to him if something goes wrong..."
Butler Bai, a man over fifty with a square face, had a gentle tone when speaking to Li Rongrong, but he still appeared stern, which made people inexplicably afraid. "Miss, Young Master has instructed us not to let anyone harm you. Even if you plead, I can't do anything..."
At this moment, the boy's cries of pain were like knives stabbing into Li Rongrong's heart. She was so scared that she could not even speak! She saw blood and the boy's hand was covered in blood. If things continued like this, his hands would be ruined...
"Let Mary take you inside. When Young Master returns and sees you soaked in the rain, he will surely worry..." Butler Bai gestured to a servant standing nearby, urging her to step forward.
"Who wants him to worry!" Li Rongrong's eyes turned red, resembling a rebellious child. However, she was no longer a child, or rather, she hadn't been a child since five years ago when she was picked up by Lu Qinian. Because since then, she no longer had a family who treated her like a child.
Upon hearing her words, Butler Bai wore a terrified expression. "Miss, please don't say that anymore. It will hurt Young Master's feelings. He worries about you too!"
"I don't care! Let him go. We have nothing to do with each other. You can't do this. It's too much..." Li Rongrong had lost her composure and was about to charge forward when suddenly, the headlights of a car illuminated the entrance of the villa...
"Young Master!" A group of bodyguards cleared the way as a handsome man emerged from the rain. He was wearing a white shirt. Although he did not wear a tie, he exuded an air of nobility. His presence emitted an aura of invincibility, and his expression was colder than the downpour.
Li Rongrong's body froze when she saw his figure and his gloomy expression. The howling in her ears also weakened. Had he heard what she said? Her face turned pale, and she bit her lip as she stared at the man who was gradually approaching her.
Lu Qinian stopped a few steps in front of Li Rongrong and spoke calmly, "Rongrong, come to my side."
"I don't want to!" Li Rongrong's eyes had turned red, and with watery eyes, she stubbornly gazed at him as if he were her enemy.
"Come here." Lu Qinian's voice lowered, leaving no room for refusal.
"You... Tell them to let him go first!" Li Rongrong's voice choked. "We're just going home together! It's nothing. Why are they making it like this?"
Lu Qinian's expression was unclear as he said in a low voice, "Rongrong, don't make me repeat myself a third time."
"Uncle Lu, he's still a student and so young. How could you do such a thing?" Li Rongrong's eyes were red as if she was trying to suppress something. She was resisting, not only because of her classmate who had been beaten up but also because of her inner resistance.
Lu Qinian's eyes darkened, but his tone softened. "I promise you. Come over here."
Butler Bai's eyes darkened upon hearing that. Then, he looked at Li Rongrong. "Miss, I will find the best doctor for him! I guarantee that nothing will happen!"
What else could Li Rongrong say? It was already good enough that they were willing to let him go. In this place, Lu Qinian was the authority. She bit her lip and watched as the male student, bloodied, was carried away. She subconsciously wanted to follow, but someone pressed her shoulder down. "Let me go!" Her face was filled with tears. "B*stard! Pervert! You're simply unreasonable! Get lost!"
Butler Bai took a deep breath and stole a glance at the man's expression. Then, he waved his hand, instructing the bodyguards to leave.
Lu Qinian placed his hand on Li Rongrong's shoulder. His face remained expressionless, but his aura was very gloomy. "Stop fooling around. Let's go home."
Li Rongrong's temper flared up. She opened her mouth and bit his hand. "Uncle Lu, how could you be so cruel!" She bit down hard, and blood immediately seeped from the man's hand. However, Lu Qinian didn't even flinch. The next second, Li Rongrong was lifted by him!
Lu Qinian carried her back to the villa. During the journey, Li Rongrong kicked and hit him, and Lu Qinian just allowed her to vent her anger and hit him.
