Chapter 25: Kneel and Apologize

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yu’s face was bloodless, and her eyes were bloodshot. The truth had been exposed.

With a thud, she knelt in front of me. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed. “I fell by myself. Jiang Ran really didn’t push me!”

“Little Yu, why are you kneeling for her!”

Grandma immediately hugged Jiang Yu’s shoulder. She was terribly distressed.

I took a few deep breaths, yet I didn’t feel happy even though my grievance got avenged. It seemed like my fault that Jiang Yu was kneeling.

“Ran Ran.”

My mother murmured something to me. I shook my head at her. “It’s okay.”

Jiang Yu’s kneeling made Fu Hansheng purse his thin lips together even more tightly. Jiang Yu looked at him woefully, as if she was begging for his mercy.

Fu Hansheng could not bear to make things difficult for her in front of so many guests.

He pinched my shoulder as we walked out. I had to thank him regardless of what he had done that night. If he hadn’t shown up in time, I wouldn’t have gotten away so easily.

The moment we exited the hotel, I felt utterly defeated.

The incident involving Jiang Yu and He Zhizhou, as well as the things she said, had torn apart the things that I had carefully treasured. One could not find an excuse to conceal the bloody truth.

My feet hurt with every step.

Fu Hansheng’s dark eyes fixed on me. He didn’t make a sound. I turned my face to the side awkwardly. Out of the blue, he carried me bridal style.

We drove to the bridge over the moat. Then, he scooped me up and placed me on the guardrail. Behind me was an abyss dozens of meters deep.

Under the night sky, the sparkling water reflected the neon lights of the city, painting a dreamy scene.

The chilly wind fogged me.

Perhaps he saw I was still in a daze, so he reached out and pushed me. I screamed and instinctively grabbed his arm!

I didn’t want to die!

Only at that moment did I realize how fortunate I was to be alive. All my woes were as light as a feather when compared to the fear of death.

“Have you calmed down?”

Damn it, this was the first time I had seen someone comforting others by threatening their lives!

I promptly looked up and saw Fu Hansheng’s handsome face. He frowned and said thoughtfully, “Jiang Ran, I realized that you’ve changed.”

I licked my lips and swallowed. “Oh, what changed?”

“You’re more fragile than I thought.”

“Women naturally need protection. It’s a pity that’s not my fate. President Fu could see the essence of things through the phenomena. You’re truly one of the smartest people I’ve met.”

I pushed him away to avoid physical contact.

He said nothing else and simply let go of me. I took off my shoes and winced as I saw the heel of my already worn foot.

With the trajectory of a perfect parabola, I threw that pair of shoes, which were worth over twenty thousand bucks, into the moat.

They fitted me, but still wore my feet out. That meant they were unsuitable for walking. They were flashy yet without substance, and the earlier I abandoned it, the better.

He went back to the driver’s seat. I immediately followed and sat down.

The car did not drive towards the villa. Instead, it drove towards the bustling streets of the main urban district. Fu Hansheng stopped and parked the car when it passed by a female shoe shop.

“Miss, you’re so fair and skinny. You’ll look very good in these shoes.”

The salesperson was not stingy with her compliments and handed Fu Hansheng a pair of flats. He took it and squatted down.

I didn’t expect Fu Hansheng to personally help me put on my shoes.

“Does it feel good?”

His warm palm touched my skin, and I gasped.

His abnormality surprised me.

“It is indeed comfortable, but I’ll wear it myself.”

The salesman in the shop looked at me with envy written all over his face.

After paying, I put on my new shoes and left the store. Fu Hansheng walked in front of me, his pace much slower than before.

My feet hurt, so I couldn’t walk too fast. He was waiting for me.

“Professor Jiang?”

I hadn’t taken over two steps before someone called me out of nowhere. I turned my head and saw two youthful faces. One of the girls was gazing at Fu Hansheng with a bright smile.

“Professor Jiang, is this your husband? He’s so handsome!”

Uh!

I couldn’t quite remember who these two students were. After all, there were many students in my classes, and they changed classes frequently. It was normal for me to not remember their names.

I smiled awkwardly and nodded. “This is my husband. Why aren’t you two going back to your dorms to rest? It’s not safe for a girl to wander around outside at this hour.”

“Aiyo, we were about to hail a cab back to school! Oh right, Professor Jiang, could you change the theme of the essay that you assigned us? The one assigned during the school’s charity event for the underprivileged children? It’s so difficult.”

I nodded. “I’ll go back and read it again. By tomorrow, I’ll announce the final version in class.”

“Then we shall take our leave first.”

The two girls said bye to Fu Hansheng and winked at me.

“Professor Jiang, your husband looks like a celebrity! I’m so envious!”
