  What should he do? Ming Ansheng could never be as overbearing or bald-faced like Third Yan. And he could never dream of being downright petty like him……

  And Su Yue wasn’t like Wen Xuxu. He had to make himself clear every time he spoke to her and she doesn’t have the habit of beating around the bush as well.

  “I’m full.” Su Yue rubbed her tummy and nodded. She glanced at the beef noodles and exclaimed, “Oh yeah!”


  She thought of something and leaped to her feet.

  Ming Ansheng frowned as he gazed at her. “What’s wrong?”


  “I need to find Bai Jing now. I already said I’ll get her breakfast,” said Su Yue as she grabbed the bag on the table.

  Ming Ansheng stretched his hand to grab her wrist. “She has a visitor in her ward. You can go later.”


  He pulled her down before looking at her squarely. “Yueyue.”


  He looked so serious and it startled Su Yue. “Huh?”


  Ming Ansheng looked solemn as he said, “I know that Bai Jing is your good friend. But I don’t want you to be used as well.”


  At that moment, he sounded as though he was a father reprimanding his child.

  Su Yue shook her head and smiled. “Uncle Ming, don’t worry. Bai Jing wouldn’t use me.”


  Bai Jing was her good friend, just like Zhou Shuang was Third sister-in-law’s friend. Why would Zhou Shuang even use Third sister-in-law?

  Evidently, she wasn’t able to comprehend what Ming Ansheng was trying to say. Ming Ansheng made himself clearer and expounded, “Not just Bai Jing. I won’t allow anyone to use you. If you meet any trouble or if you want to help Bai Jing, tell me first. If not, you can tell your third sister-in-law.”


  He understood her too well. She always trusted her instincts and never delved in deeper to understand something.

  His and Third Yan’s intelligence were at par with Wen Xuxu. Furthermore, Su Yue was closest to Xuxu as well. Hence, she wanted her to consult Wen Xuxu.

  Su Yue furrowed her eyebrows and heaved a heavy sigh. “Bai Jing never asked me for any favors. I already said that Third sister-in-law would help her, but still, she said nothing.”


  Ming Ansheng closely watched Su Yue. He said, “Is she in some sort of trouble?”


  He had met Bai Jing and Lei Yong before. From the way she looked, it was obvious that she wasn’t happy staying with the Lei family.

  She had many other choices, so why did she have to go to the Lei family?

  Even if she didn’t want to receive Third Yan’s help, she could depend on herself since she was already an adult. Besides, there were others in a more dire situation than her.

  Even if Bai Jing hoped that her mother truly cared for her—despite being abandoned by her years ago—it was still her own choice for choosing to stay with the Lei’s.

  Even if someone would render help, they wouldn’t be in any position to do that.

  What Su Yue didn’t understand was that every adult was responsible for their own choices in their lives.

  It could be because after being in the vicious business world for years, they had become cold and unfeeling. But that was the reality, wasn’t it?

  “Hmmm…… it’s……” Su Yue stammered as she glanced at Ming Ansheng with apprehension. She seemed reluctant to say anything.

  Ming Ansheng pretended to be annoyed and raised his voice. “Do you still have something to keep from me?”


  Su Yue didn’t hesitate any longer, and she reeled off. “Her second brother is such a horrible and disgusting person! He forced her to accompany some old guy. I overheard her shouting at her brother over the phone yesterday. She said that she will never help him do such things again. But last night, she still went. Her brother definitely forced her.”
