"From now on, don’t be disrespectful towards Su Qing, she is our most esteemed guest, understand?"
Fu Limei’s eyes widened, what on earth had happened to their family, were they cursed by Su Qing? Why was everyone speaking up for Su Qing, one after another? She didn’t like it and didn’t want it.
"Why, why are you all suddenly so nice to her? Dad, why even you..."
She couldn’t accept that both her parents and her sister were siding with Su Qing.
This afternoon she had stayed at her best friend’s house, pouring out her grievances, only to find that her friend also said she was wrong, prompting her to unhappily run back home.
Fu Boyan walked over to Fu Limei’s side, "Come with me."
Fu Limei looked at her eldest brother, whom she feared the most, and reluctantly followed him.
In a secluded spot, Fu Limei hung her head and twisted her hands nervously. It had been a long time since she had been alone with her brother. The last time they were alone together was also because she had caused trouble, was her brother going to scold her again this time?
"Meimei, you’re not young anymore, you know? You should realize that you did something wrong today, but you never admit it. Relying on being the daughter of the Fu Family, you have been arrogant and domineering. When you were little, our parents doted on you, but now that you’re grown up, you can’t be willful anymore, understand?"
Fu Boyan’s voice was very low, and Fu Limei started crying softly with her head bowed.
"But... But mom, dad, and Lixin all like her, and I don’t want them to like her."
"Even if mom, dad, and Lixin all like Su Qing, so what? You are still the daughter of the Fu Family! Everyone is so fond of her today because she saved dad. That’s why they’re so grateful to her. You’re not allowed to make a scene anymore, understand?"
Fu Boyan walked up to Fu Limei and lifted his robust palm to touch her head, "You should really think about some things; your parents and brother can’t always be there to clean up the messes you make, you know?"
He knew his sister Fu Limei well; she didn’t have an evil bone in her body, didn’t scheme against anyone. It was just that she had been spoiled by their parents, which led to her developing an arrogant and domineering character.
"Brother..." Fu Limei looked at Fu Boyan, moved. It had been a long time since her brother had treated her so gently. Had she been wrong all along?
Fu Boyan patted Fu Limei on the shoulder and strode forward.
Fu Limei stood behind, biting her lower lip, and took a while to follow him.
In the living room, Madam Fu and Fu Xunguo were asking Su Qing about some things. Seeing that she was truly exhausted, they told her to go to her room and rest.
Fu Boyan walked toward the living room, and shortly after, Fu Limei came from the direction he had just left.
As Su Qing left the hall, Fu Limei clenched her teeth and quickly followed.
Outside, the sky had darkened somewhat, and Su Qing walked along the gravel path ahead while deliberate, soft footsteps followed behind her.
Su Qing stopped walking, and the person behind her also stopped.
"Second Miss Fu, how much longer do you plan to follow me?"
Su Qing turned around to look at Fu Limei, who was trailing after her.
Fu Limei stood in place uncomfortable, always proud, she never knew what it was to be wrong. But after her brother said those words, and her best friend and sister said the same today.
She closed her eyes and said it loudly, feeling that, since Su Qing had saved her father, she should apologize to Su Qing.
Su Qing was taken aback, not having expected Fu Limei to apologize to her. Her attitude this afternoon had been very arrogant and domineering, but suddenly she was apologizing tonight, and Su Qing was momentarily at a loss for how to react.
After saying it, Fu Limei opened her eyes and saw Su Qing frozen in front of her. She apologized again and then quickly turned and ran toward the villa.
Su Qing laughed, this Second Miss Fu was indeed an interesting person. She didn’t seem as bad as Su Qing had imagined, just a spoiled child. Being able to apologize to her wasn’t too bad.
Su Qing turned and went to her room, tiredly washed up, and lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
In her sleep, Su Qing murmured restlessly on the bed.
In a misty white fog, Su Qing wore a snow-white wedding gown, a beautiful dress trailing elegantly on the ground, stunningly beautiful.
She clutched her dress and ran around uneasily, but surrounded by the white fog, she couldn’t find her way out.
Suddenly, the sound of two babies crying reached her ears. Su Qing felt her heart tearing in anguish and ran towards the sound of the crying.
