Chapter 507: Li Beijue says, you will always have me

~8 min read 1,431 words

Jiang Baobao's emotions, which had finally recovered a little with great difficulty, showed signs of becoming uncontrollable once again.

Seeing this, Li Beijue hurriedly took her hand.

Lu Qing'er's gaze flickered for a moment, and seeing the two of them acting this way, she felt even more uncomfortable inside.

Why?

Why do the two of them get to have a happy ending, while she doesn't even have parents anymore?

Even if they really did harm Jiang Chenghao, the crime shouldn't warrant this!

If Jiang Baobao wanted compensation, she just had to say it!

A trace of hatred flashed in the depths of Lu Qing'er's eyes, and she suddenly spoke: "But didn't they take care of you in the past? Your parents passed away early; who helped you pay your tuition and raised you later? Just based on this point, shouldn't you have at least a little bit of gratitude!"

"Gratitude?"

Jiang Baobao let out a soft scoff, truly stunned by the extent of Lu Qing'er's shamelessness.

She stepped forward, no longer standing behind Li Beijue, and spoke with a cold expression: "Since you've put it that way, why don't we settle the accounts clearly today!"

"After my parents passed away, Xia Huiya used the excuse of being my mother's own sister and wanting to raise me to forcibly take over my parents' belongings, then claimed them as her own. She even 'kindly' helped me withdraw from an excellent school and threw me directly into the most bottom-tier vocational high school! As for living expenses... when were they ever anything more than tossing scraps to a beggar? If I had relied on those few pennies your family gave, I would have starved to death on the side of the road long ago!"

Every word Jiang Baobao spoke was resonant and forceful, with surging emotions in her eyes.

She had originally not wanted to bring these things up again.

But it just so happened that some people were so shameless as to actually think that was a favor?

Listening from the side, Li Beijue also clenched his fists tightly.

So that was why she had transferred schools in such a hurry back then?

If it weren't for the Lu Family... they wouldn't have missed each other for so long!

"You..."

Lu Qing'er, unconvinced, still wanted to say something more.

Li Beijue, however, could no longer suppress his anger and interrupted directly: "Baobao, no need to say so much to her."

Having said that, he spoke coldly to Lu Qing'er: "She has nothing to do with the Lu Family anymore. If you don't want to be sent to prison by me as well, don't let me see you appear around Baobao again! If she is unhappy, I don't mind letting those two people still in prison be buried with her! If you don't want to live, you can continue blocking the car. There is surveillance at the entrance; even if I really hit and killed you, I wouldn't need to take responsibility!"

After Li Beijue finished speaking, he gave her one last deep look, the cold, warning tone in his eyes making one shudder.

Lu Qing'er froze in place, watching helplessly as he pulled Jiang Baobao into the car and disappeared from sight.

A long time later—

Only then did she bite down hard on her lower lip.

A heavy, bloody taste spread in her mouth, but it could not block the bone-deep hatred on her face...

She had nothing left.

Parents, money, status, and a comfortable life...

Everything of hers had been ruined by that bitch Jiang Baobao!

This matter was not over!

Anyway, she had nothing left...

At worst, they would all go down together!

Inside the villa—

Jiang Baobao's mood, which had finally recovered a little, was completely ruined by Lu Qing'er's shameless remarks.

Li Beijue's expression was also somewhat heavy.

It was all because of what he had just learned regarding the reason she transferred schools back then.

"Baobao..."

Li Beijue gently squeezed her hand, and seeing the ring she wore on her finger, his mood finally recovered a little.

Fortunately... no matter how long they had missed each other, now no one could separate them.

"Don't take those things Lu Qing'er said just now to heart."

Seeing his expression was somewhat solemn, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but speak up to comfort him.

Li Beijue nodded gently; the more he looked at the person before him, the more his heart ached, and he suddenly couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his arms.

"You... this is the living room!"

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but feel a bit shy.

Li Beijue, however, not only did not let go, but hugged her even tighter, saying in a doting tone: "Don't worry, Zheng Bo is very tactful, he won't come to disturb us..."

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao finally felt at ease.

Immediately after, she heard Li Beijue say: "It was my fault for finding you too late, which made you suffer so much before... but it won't happen again..."

He paused for a moment, lowered his head, and planted a light kiss on the forehead of the person in his arms.

"Let's go public, okay? Let everyone know that you are the rightful Mrs. Li."

"Go public?"

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, her heart suddenly softening intensely.

She had never thought about this matter.

Even less had she thought that Li Beijue would suddenly bring it up on his own.

"Mm, let's go public."

Li Beijue did not hesitate, even adding with a hint of anticipation: "That way everyone will know that you belong to me, Li Beijue, alone, and no one will ever be able to snatch you away again."

"As if so many people want to snatch me..."

Jiang Baobao felt sweet inside and couldn't help but mutter a small complaint.

Her hands, however, couldn't help but wrap around his waist, and she whispered sweetly: "Whatever you say..."

Li Beijue's eyes instantly brimmed with a smile, and he took the opportunity to lower his head slightly, moving closer toward the lips that attracted him at every moment.

Sensing his intention, Jiang Baobao closed her eyes slightly...

The distance between the two of them shortened bit by bit.

Just at this moment—

A "bang" suddenly rang out from not far away.

Jiang Baobao's eyes widened instantly, and she sprang away from Li Beijue's embrace.

Immediately, she saw Jiang Chenghao standing to the side with an awkward expression, holding a cup.

"Ahem... sorry, I interrupted you two; my cup accidentally bumped against the wall..."

Jiang Chenghao explained with a wry smile.

He had only wanted to go pour a cup of coffee, but he hadn't expected that as soon as he stepped out, he would see Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao sweetly embracing.

He hadn't wanted to disturb them, but he hadn't expected to accidentally make a sound...

Wisps of awkwardness permeated the air.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but feel her face burning, so she could only let out two dry laughs.

Jiang Chenghao, however, suddenly thought of something and took the initiative to help her out of the situation: "Baobao, do you have time now? There is something I want to talk to you about."

"Okay, then let's go to your room and talk!"

Jiang Baobao was eager to leave this "place of trouble" as quickly as possible, and she immediately walked toward Jiang Chenghao's room without looking back.

Jiang Chenghao shook his head with amusement, shot an apologetic look at Li Beijue, and turned to head back to the room as well.

The door closed.

Thinking of what had just happened, Jiang Baobao still felt a bit awkward and hurriedly asked: "Little Uncle, what did you want to tell me?"

Jiang Chenghao answered unhurriedly: "Two things. First, I plan to move back to the Jiang Family Old Residence to live recently."

"Ah? So soon? Stay here for a while longer!"

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected him to leave so soon and hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

Jiang Chenghao, however, shook his head.

"Living here is really too much of a disturbance to you both, and... I want to go back to keep your grandmother company and live back in the place where we lived before..."

Mentioning the Jiang Old Madam, Jiang Chenghao's tone was somewhat melancholy.

Jiang Baobao instantly understood what he meant, so she could only helplessly agree, then hurriedly asked: "Then... what is the second thing?"

Jiang Chenghao paused for a moment before continuing: "I plan to meet with Xin'ai in the next two days."
