Chapter 189: The Little Girl from Back Then Is Her

~7 min read 1,322 words

Lu Qing'er did not know what was wrong with him; she pursed her lips tightly, a flash of unwillingness crossing her eyes.

So what if Jiang Baobao had attended school here?

Was it really that important to him?

Lu Qing'er felt somewhat displeased that Li Beijue had been so easily distracted by Jiang Baobao. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Right, Beijue, I have something I want to show you!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled out a thin silver chain hidden inside her collar.

Li Beijue snapped back to his senses. He only took one glance before his eyes widened abruptly, staring at the pendant on Lu Qing'er's chest in disbelief.

"Didn't your necklace get lost?"

Li Beijue's voice rose sharply, uncharacteristically losing his composure, his eyes fixed intently on that Magnolia Pendant.

Lu Qing'er was startled by his reaction and took a step back, hurriedly explaining in a stutter, "It... it wasn't lost. It has always been with me, it's just that I haven't worn it for a long time. You mentioned it last time, so I wanted to take it out to show you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, in the next second, only an afterimage remained before her eyes.

"Beijue!!!"

Lu Qing'er did not expect Li Beijue to just leave her behind, and she was instantly filled with disbelief.

Li Beijue, however, had no intention of stopping at all.

He strode toward the school gate, his eyes filled with shock.

Lu Qing'er's necklace was not lost!

Then, whose could the necklace in his own hand be?

A name was on the tip of Li Beijue's tongue, just about to burst forth...

Li Beijue sprinted back to his car.

He started the car, but his mind suddenly went blank for a moment, and for a time, he did not know what he was supposed to do.

He pondered for two seconds before suddenly driving toward the Li Mansion!

His mind was in a mess; all his thoughts were like fragments, unable to connect, leaving him unable to make sense of anything.

Yet, there was one deep thought in his mind: he had to see Jiang Baobao immediately!

Was that necklace hers or not?

Why did she transfer out of Shengting back then?

Could it be that, just like him, she had experienced a kidnapping, and her family felt it wasn't safe, so they...

Only these two questions remained in Li Beijue's mind, and he only hated that he could not drive the car faster through the city.

Half an hour later, he finally saw the massive villa appear before his eyes.

He parked the car haphazardly and immediately strode toward the villa.

He happened to run into Zheng Bo, who was about to head out.

"Young Master, you're ba—"

Before Zheng Bo could finish his sentence, Li Beijue had already walked past him expressionlessly and gone straight to the second floor.

Li Beijue went directly to the door of Jiang Baobao's room.

He pushed the door open, only to find that there was no one inside.

He was suddenly stunned and stood rooted to the spot.

Then, he suddenly realized that the villa seemed too quiet.

Today was not a school day; if the three little ones were at home, it was impossible for there to be no sound at all.

Li Beijue frowned fiercely and turned to walk down the stairs.

"Zheng Bo, where is Jiang Baobao?"

Li Beijue found Zheng Bo directly and asked.

Zheng Bo immediately replied, "Miss Jiang left early this morning with the two young masters and Miss Tiantian. It seems they went to the airport..."

"The airport?!"

Li Beijue's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of what Jiang Baobao had said last night.

She was going to take the children away!

"Why didn't you tell me about something like going to the airport!"

Fire burned in Li Beijue's eyes; he uncharacteristically roared at Zheng Bo, turned on his heel, and walked out of the villa, quickly getting into his car.

Zheng Bo did not have time to speak; he stood where he was, having not yet reacted to the situation.

Miss Jiang going to the airport... was that a very important matter?

The young master hadn't said before that he needed to be specifically informed about it...

Zheng Bo sighed helplessly, but Li Beijue's car had already driven off and vanished from sight.

Airport—

Jiang Baobao had been waiting at the arrival gate with the three little ones for an hour, her face written with speechlessness.

"Mommy, why hasn't Uncle Ling Feng's plane arrived yet?"

Mobai sighed, somewhat helplessly squatting on the ground.

Jiang Baobao was also caught between laughter and tears; she looked at the three little ones with a pang of heartache and said, "We should wait a little longer. It seems their flight was delayed. Why don't you three go wait in the car? It's too tiring to stand here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the three little ones shook their heads in unison.

"We'd better wait here! The brothers will definitely be very happy to see us!" Tiantian said, looking toward the inside of the airport, her face full of anticipation.

Jiang Baobao did not say anything more and could only continue waiting with the three little ones, looking down at the flight information from time to time, her inner grumbling never stopping for a moment.

Those guys are really something!

Didn't they agree to come back in a few days?

What kind of surprise attack is this!

He only told her the flight information right before boarding the plane today, and even had the nerve to call it a surprise?

She'll make sure to bash those little brats' heads in later!

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, then looked toward the direction of the arrival gate again.

Yet, there was still no one there.

The next second—

Her peripheral vision suddenly caught a figure walking quickly in her direction!

Jiang Baobao looked up instinctively and instantly saw Li Beijue with a murderous look on his face!

She was startled, and a flash of confusion crossed her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the furious man was already standing right in front of her!

"Jiang Baobao! Where do you think you're taking them!"

Li Beijue grabbed Jiang Baobao's wrist fiercely, his eyes filled with malice, glaring at Jiang Baobao as if he were about to devour her.

She wanted to take Mobai and Yanbao away!

Not a chance!

Besides...

He hadn't even confirmed whether she was truly that girl from back then!

He had finally found the crucial clue, and she wanted to just leave like this?

Impossible!!!

Li Beijue's mind was already a tangled mess; for a moment, he didn't even know if he was angry that she dared to take the children away, or angry that she had almost left.

Jiang Baobao's wrist was in excruciating pain from his grip, and her temper flared instantly; she gave a violent jerk, but couldn't shake him off at all!

"Li Beijue! What kind of fit are you throwing now?"

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her with displeasure, struggling continuously, trying to break free from his grip on her wrist.

The three little ones finally came back to their senses.

"Daddy! You're hurting Mommy! Let go quickly!"

Mobai looked extremely displeased, and seeing Jiang Baobao's wrist turning red from being gripped, he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Li Beijue's hand, trying to pry his wrist away.

"Daddy, let go!!!"

Yanbao and Tiantian also hurriedly went up to help, both glaring at Li Beijue with dissatisfaction.

Li Beijue remained unmoved, his eyes still fixed firmly on Jiang Baobao as he gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Baobao, I said it before, don't even think about taking them away, unless you..."

"Which eye did you see me taking them away with!!!"
