In D District.
Qin Li threw away the iPad, then she pounded on the sofa, weeping with her head buried in the sofa.
Zeng Peizhong who looked more sick now patted her on her back and comforted her, “Li, don’t get too upset, this is how online world works, people laugh and talk about it for a day, and they will talk about something else the next day. Don’t worry, Huangdu is doomed for sure, Di Bian’s brain is damaged for the rest of his life. Let’s stay low key for a while, cough cough…” Zeng Peizhong took a deep breath, “Xiasong will be released within several years, don’t worry, he would be in his late twenties when he gets released, still young, plenty of opportunities for him.”
“But it hurts so much, my kids, one is labeled as mental, one is labeled as criminal!” Qin Li hugged Zeng Peizhong and choked with sobs, “Peizhong, this must be my karma, my karma for not treating you wholeheartedly when we were young. Peizhong, I’m so sorry for everything that I’ve done to you, please get better soon, you are the only one who I can rely on.”
A touch of hatred flashed across Zeng Peizhong’s eyes, yet his tone was still gentle, he patted Qin Li’s back and comforted her, “I wish I could get better… … don’t cry, I like it the best when you smile.”
Hearing that, Qin Li felt better, she stopped crying and went to the bathroom to touch up. After she came back, she squatted down and massaged Zeng Peizhong’s legs, “How are you feeling? What did the doctor say?”
“I’m feeling so much better with your company.” Zeng Peizhong looked at Qin Li in the eye and said that gently, happiness written all over his face.
Qin Li blushed and she lowered her head, then she changed the subject to his son, “Peizhong, I find this thing very odd, I know Di Bian wants to settle scores with me, but why did he risk his own health for that? I have this hunch that there’s someone else who is behind the scene. I’m so scared, I want to go with you after you pass away, I would be so helpless without your protection.”
“Don’t be silly, I’ll protect you and take good care of you forever!” chimed in Zeng Peizhong, he touched her face and said, “Don’t you ever say such a silly thing again, you are still so young, you have a whole life time to live, don’t worry, I’ll find out who it is that is hiding behind the scene and take care of that. You are in good hands, don’t worry.”
Qin Li found that so touching, she threw herself at Zeng Peizhong and cried.
Zeng Peizhong sneered in his heart and he asked, “Li, do you have a clue who it might be?”
Qin Li took the bait and gnashed her teeth, “It must be Di Qiuhe! He has been waiting for long to revenge! It must be him! Lawyer Wang once ganged up together with Di Qiuhe to trap my father, they must have been an ally for a long time, setting traps in the dark for my family!”
“Di Qiuhe?” laughed Zeng Peizhong, he stared at Qin Li, his eyes were like blades travelling back and forth on Qin Li’s body, looking for a perfect spot to chop, then he replied indifferently, “Ah~ it is that boy. Don’t worry, Li, I’ll certainly take care of him… …”
‘Qin Li, how dare you, that is my daughter’s secret guardian you are talking about.’
News of Huangdu and its branch offices went out of business was all over the internet every day, they must will apply for bankruptcy soon.
In the middle of July, Di Qiuhe and He Bai arranged everything and were ready to fly abroad for V&G commercial, Lawyer Wang knocked on the door suddenly, he said he was paying this visit on behalf of Di Bian, Di Bian would like to meet Di Qiuhe.
“I though you’ve left with the money.” Di Qiuhe poured him some tea, he told Lawyer Wang that he already knew he had been secretly working for Fan Da for some time now.
Lawyer Wang nodded, he looked around at this beautiful house and He Bai who was snuggling at the sofa, he suddenly realized something. Then he replied, “I worked for Huangdu for well over a decade now, I gave up my principles in the end, but anyways… I’m here on behalf of Di Bian, would you like to meet Di Bian?”
“What exactly did he say?” was the answer to the question.
“I’m not entirely sure either. He has been in a stupor for a while now, he just told me he’d like to see you, other than that, he didn’t say anything more.”
Di Qiuhe suddenly recalled it was around this time last year that he renounced Di family and went on a journey to the bordering province.
And look at him now, that journey went well!
“Sure.” said Di Qiuhe, and he touched He Bai’s hair when he noticed He Bai’s gaze.
“We both deserve a closure.” continued Di Qiuhe.
He Bai smiled seeing Di Qiuhe’s attitude, he squeezed Di Qiuhe’s foot and gave him a doting smile.
Lawyer Wang confirmed his guessing, and smiled at the love birds, then he took his leave knowingly.
The next day, Di Qiuhe went to the hospital. He pushed open the ward door, Di Bian was sitting on a wheelchair by the window, he invited himself in and walked towards Di Bian, “I’m here, what do you want to say to me?”
The man turned around, it was Di Qiuhe, a cool calm and collected young man. Di Bian burst into tears, “Qiuhe, finally you are here.”
