After she finished speaking to Long Yubei, she said, "I’ll wait for you in the car."
Father Long was so angry that his hair stood on end, his hands clutching the cement bridge railing tightly as he glared at the departing Gu Lili.
Although Dragon Mother was very anxious at this time, she felt that what Gu Lili had said made sense. If it weren’t for her revealing the truth, she would still foolishly be in the dark.
"Since you blame Lili for this, then go ahead and jump if you want to."
After saying this, Dragon Mother left with others, leaving only Tang Qingli and Long Yubei.
"Young Master, so what do we do now..."
"You stay here and watch. If he jumps, it’s your responsibility to retrieve the body."
Tang Qingli watched his own young master also leave, then turned his gaze to Father Long, "Master, just stop making trouble. Who do you think you can threaten with this?" Fınd the newest release on NovєlFіre.net
Long Yubei pulled open the car door and got in, and after buckling his seat belt, he saw Father Long actually jump into the water.
This action was truly an impressive feat.
"Aren’t you going down to take a look?"
"Qing Li will save him."
"It seems you calculated this early on and then got into the car."
Right after he spoke, Father Long’s cries for help came from the distance.
He was seriously injured, having sat at the bridgehead for so long, and he was already out of strength; he didn’t have the energy to swim now.
Tang Qingli jumped into the river and dragged him out. Father Long coughed up several mouthfuls of water before he finally came to his senses.
When he got ashore and realized that no one had come out of the car, he felt somewhat dejected for a moment.
Gu Lili watched Father Long standing there like a drowned rat and felt oddly amused.
"Your dad is being more dramatic than a woman..."
Long Yubei turned around to leave, not bothering with the aftermath. "You should feel lucky..."
"That I didn’t inherit that from him."
Gu Lili looked at him seriously, "Then who do you take after? I don’t think your temperament is much like your mom’s."
"I inherited it from my grandparents; I take after my grandfather and grandmother."
"But that still means you take after your dad, right?"
"The good aspects, yes, but the bad aspects have been automatically filtered out by my genes."
Dragon Mother took Father Long home and told her in-laws about what had happened.
This incited another round of anger from Old Madam Long.
"Why didn’t you just drown yourself in a cesspool?"
Father Long kept a stone face and didn’t speak.
"And now you’re blaming Lili, why don’t you admit that it’s your own character that’s at fault!" Old Madam Long closed her eyes and then reopened them, "Really, the older you get, the more useless you become. Shufen, help him back to his room to change into clean clothes."
Old Madam Long sat on the couch, supporting herself with a cane, and suddenly turned to look at her husband next to her; the old man gave her a smile, "Old lady, don’t get angry, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
"Shall I rub your shoulders for you?"
Old Madam Long squinted and smiled, "That’s just what I was waiting for you to say."
While the elderly couple were chatting, Long Fengxi came back.
Dressed in a professional suit, she carried her bag with composure.
"Grandpa and Grandma, I’ve resigned from my position at the company. I’m going abroad tomorrow."
"I don’t want to stay in the country anymore."
"Do you plan on staying overseas for a few more years before returning?" Old Madam Long felt that she was acting out of character and asked her outright, "Feng Xi, Tian Jiao is getting engaged these days. Are you going to miss it?"
"It’s just an engagement. I’ll definitely come back for her wedding, no matter what." Long Fengxi’s gaze was calm, "I came to let you know, so you don’t worry about me. I’ll call often."
