Hearing his sister question him about his daughter, Fu Sheng wanted to get angry and ask her to take good care and teach manners to her daughter, who pushed Fu Rong. But seeing his pale sister, he couldn't bring himself to do it. "No, sister, Rong'er went to the bathroom as soon as she woke up. She is a little weak after hitting her head against the stone. I'm going to take her to the hospital in case she has a concussion," he replied politely, but his eyes showed the exact opposite of politeness, with clear anger.
His kids had already lost their mother, and he was always outside. How could he bear it if something happened to his kids, who were left under her care? He always knew his daughter was very timid to begin with, and Bai Yan was a big bully and arrogant. Any sane man would know what that accident meant, but he considered his mother's request and kept his mouth shut.
After hearing what he said, Fu Guhua breathed a sigh of relief. That damned girl was always timid and wouldn't tell her dad about the fight. She could always manipulate it by saying it was an accident. But after seeing Fu Sheng again, her heart quivered slightly. She very well knew that after his wife's death, Fu Sheng loved his kids the most and wouldn't tolerate any wrongs against them.
She thought for a second before opening her mouth to say, "Brother, I apologize for what happened between the kids. Though we are generations apart, we need to leave the kids as they are. But I can understand that brother loves Rong'er. Anyway, she is hurt by Yan Yan. I will teach her a lesson when I go to her." Fu Guhua put on a sad and helpless facade and apologized to Fu Sheng, but in her heart, she despised them for humiliating her like this.
Seeing his sister apologize, Fu Sheng immediately stopped her. "No, sister, why are you apologizing? Bai Yan was the one who pushed my daughter. It may have been by mistake, but she has to take responsibility for that. She is the person who needs to apologize, not you."
Fu Guhua was stunned but quickly regained her composure. Is he the brother who never blamed her and always gave in to her, no matter what? She quickly covered her shock. "Yes, brother. I will ask Yan Yan to apologize to Rong'er." After saying that, she immediately left.
Fu Rong came out after she left. "Dad…" Though she had composed herself and assured herself that they were alive, she couldn't help but sob after seeing her dad. "Dad…" She hugged him and sobbed. Looking at his little daughter, who was shaking and crying, Fu Sheng realized something was wrong. "Rong'er, tell Daddy what's wrong. Why are you crying again, my little baby? Did anyone hurt you? Tell me, dear."
"Dad, I don't want to live here. Can we move to our house? I feel very lonely here and…" Fu Rong composed herself and quickly came up with a reason for crying. Whenever her dad was working, they were left under Fu Guhua's care and stayed in her house. This made it easy for them to steal her luck and made her an easy target for bullying. So why couldn't she use her sobs to exchange for her freedom and escape from the clutches of that woman?
Seeing his daughter speaking amid sobs gave Fu Sheng heartache. And when she trailed off and seemed afraid to finish the sentence, he knew something was wrong. He patted her and asked her to continue. "Dad… I don't want to live here. They bully me and call me an orphan. They told me if I tell you that they hurt me, you will not want me anymore. Is it true, Dad? Will you not want Rong'er anymore?"
Fu Sheng was visibly shocked, and anger seeped into his eyes. "Who the hell told my little girl that Daddy doesn't want you anymore? Tell Daddy, and see how I will punish them." He hugged his daughter, fearing she would hate him because of someone's manipulation.
Fu Rong was pleased. This was her father. Even though he became a workaholic after being heartbroken by her mother's death, he still loved his children more than his life. "Dad, Bai Yan and Aunt told me you don't want me anymore, and she took us in because she pitied me. Today, Bai Yan asked me for the pendant I'm wearing. When I refused, she pushed me to the stone pathway, and I got hurt."
After hearing what happened due to his carelessness and looking into his daughter's innocent eyes, Fu Sheng felt guilty. Never in his life had he thought the very sister he trusted with his kids would manipulate his daughter into believing her dad didn't want her. And her daughter asked for the pendant that was keeping his daughter safe.
Fu Yichen, who was listening to their conversation, was quivering with anger. His eyes turned red from heartache. He thought only he was bullied, but how the hell did those bastards have the heart to bully his little sister? He was prepared to go out and fight them, but Fu Sheng stopped him from doing anything foolish.
"Dad, why are you stopping me? That evil woman and her daughter bullied my sister, and you're asking me to sit quietly. Even when they bullied me, I kept quiet, but what about Rong'er? She's still young, and how can they tell her you want to abandon us? What would happen if she believed it and did something foolish? No… this won't do. I need to ask why they bullied my little baby," Fu Yichen argued with his dad and prepared to fight.
"Brother, don't do that. If you go there and fight, they will only blame us for being ungrateful. We don't have any evidence. I also heard them say that my aunt is managing our household, and it will be their right to claim Father's property in the future. So don't alert them," Fu Rong warned them.
This time, it was both father and son's turn to be shocked. His relative, whom he trusted, planned to usurp his property, which would be left for his kids. Did he just spend his blood and sweat to build a business and give it to someone as charity that clearly belonged to his kids? He was not a big saint to do this. "Fu Rong, did you hear it right?" Fu Sheng wanted to confirm it again.
Fu Rong bit her lip, and her eyes turned red. "Yes, Dad. Will you not believe me?" This hardened his heart. His baby girl wouldn't lie unnecessarily. Something must have happened, and she must have heard them say this. Without any further delay, he ordered his son, "Yichen, don't alert them. We don't know what they are planning. Let's be alert. If they know Rong'er heard what they planned, they might hurt her again. So let's pack up and leave immediately."
