Madam Lou opened the document bag in confusion and her expression changed when she saw what was inside.

  Madam Lou had been pampered since she was young. After she got married and had children, everything had gone smoothly as well. She had a high-end clothing company, but she was not good at management. As such, she had hired professionals. There had been some problems two years ago when her clothing brand was facing difficulties and needed a large sum of money.

  She had reached into the Lou Corporation headquarters, thinking that no one would find out.

  In the end, the document Long Ming gave her recorded the evidence of her secretly transferring a large amount of money and embezzling taxes.

  As long as Long Ming released the evidence, she would have to go to jail for the rest of her life.

  Mrs Lou looked at Long Ming with a pale expression. “I didn’t expect you to have spies in the Lou Corporation.”


  That was true. If he was not so scheming, how could he have gotten the highest position?

  Long Ming lowered his head and lit a cigar. He narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, his facial features appearing dark and cold in the smoke. “Madam, I’ll give you time to pay this tax. Also, persuade Lou Lan to cancel the engagement with me within three day. If not…”


  Long Ming was very good at seeing through people’s hearts. He knew that Mrs Lou doted on her daughter, but she had grown up in such a noble family and was selfish to the core. She loved herself more.

  To a rich woman who needed to do beauty treatments and play cards with rich ladies every day, a life in jail was worse than death!

  Mother Lou’s expression changed. In the end, she could only swallow her anger.

  She tore the document apart, threw it into the rubbish bin, and stood up angrily.

  When she reached the door, she turned back and glared at Long Ming coldly. “You’re ruthless, but let me give you a piece of advice. Even if our Lou family agrees to your annulment, those relatives and elders of the royal family will not agree to you marrying an ordinary woman.”


  Long Ming flicked the ash from his cigarette, a faint smile on his lips. “That’s my business. Madam, you don’t have to worry.”


  Madam Lou left angrily.

  …


  In the ward.

  Lou Lan looked at Mother Lou, who had returned with a dark expression, and then looked behind her. A trace of disappointment flashed past Lou Lan’s eyes when she did not see Long Ming.

  Madam Lou sat by the bed, tears falling from her eyes.

  Lou Lan panicked when she saw her mother crying. “Mom, what happened? What did Long Ming say to you?”


  Madam Lou held Lou Lan’s hand and said with a pale face, “Lanlan, save Mommy.”


  Lou Lan’s lips trembled. “Mom… what happened?”


  “Long Ming has something on Mom. If you don’t agree to annul the engagement, Mom will be in jail for the rest of my life.” Mrs Lou tightened her grip on Lou Lan’s hand, placing all of her hopes on her. “Lanlan, I can’t tell your grandpa and your dad about this. Mom committed a big mistake and only you can save Mom.”


  Lou Lan’s heart sank completely.

  It turned out that he came to the hospital to control her mother.

  He had always known that she would never disobey her parents.

  Besides, the situation was so serious that her mother would have to go to jail for the rest of her life if she did not agree!

  With such evidence, he must have planned it beforehand.

  In other words, he had already wanted to annul the engagement with her!

  Tears filled Lou Lan’s eyes. She was unwilling, but seeing her mother pleading in fear, she had no other choice!

  After Mother Lou left the hospital, Lou Lan cried alone.

  She did not know which part of her could not compared to that vixen. She had a good family background and had good looks. Why had Long Ming given up on her for that woman?

  Lou Lan felt like she had walked into a dead end. She knew that if she continued to walk forward, she would definitely crash into the wall ahead, but she was unwilling to turn back just like that…


  Just as Lou Lan was crying uncontrollably, her phone rang.

  Lou Lan picked up her phone and glanced at it.

  An unknown number had sent her a message.

  “See you at the rooftop.”


  Lou Lan was stunned.

  She replied: Who are you?

  She received no reply.

  She tried to call that number, but the phone was turned off.

  Lou Lan did not know who had called and wanted to ignore it, but after a few minutes, she still got off the bed weakly.

  She put on a jacket and took the elevator to the rooftop.

  It was already late at night but the bright neon lights were still shining brightly. Under the rows of winding street lamps, cars drove past occasionally. There were no pedestrians on the road anymore, and the city had fallen into the quietest time.

  Lou Lan walked up to the rooftop. The night breeze was a little strong. She hugged her jacket tightly and vaguely saw a tall figure standing at the edge of the rooftop.

  Lou Lan walked over in confusion.

  The person standing at the edge of the roof was wearing a black shirt and pants, a cloak, and a wide hat. He was hidden in the darkness and Lou Lan could not see him clearly.

  “Who are you?” Lou Lan asked with a frown.

  The man said slowly, “You don’t need to know who I am. I’m here to give you a document.”


  The man had obviously used a voice changer, so Lou Lan could not hear his voice. He was fully covered, so she could not guess his age either.

  Before Lou Lan could say anything, the man threw a document bag at her feet.

  Lou Lan bent down and picked up the document file.

  When she looked up in the man’s direction again, he was already gone.

  Lou Lan was stunned for a few seconds.

  After returning to the ward, Lou Lan locked the door and opened the document file doubtfully.

  Lou Lan’s eyes widened when he saw the information and photos taken on different occasions.

  After being stunned and thrown into disbelief, Lou Lan could not help but laugh out loud.

  There was always a way out!

  …


  Xiao Ying did not know what method Long Ming had used, but the Lou family agreed to annul the engagement very quickly.

  Xiao Ying returned to R Country.

  She started a long-distance relationship with Long Ming.

  Every day, no matter how busy Long Ming was, he would take the initiative to video call her and Wan Bao.

  But as time passed, Xiao Ying realized that he was too tired and lonely.

  He said that he wanted to give her and Wan Bao a home. But at that time, she had never thought that he wanted a home too.

  He had been a person who lacked warmth since he was young. Now, only she and Wan Bao could give him warmth.

  After thinking through all of this, Xiao Ying made a bold decision.

  She wanted to bring Wan Bao to Long Ming’s place.

  Xiao Ying helped Wan Bao settle the withdrawal procedures. When Wan Bao found out that Xiao Ying was bringing her to meet Cool Uncle, she was both happy and worried.

  “Mommy, if we go and find Cool Uncle, will Papa not be able to find us when he comes back?”


  Xiao Ying pulled Wan Bao into her arms and caressed her long hair. “Baby, Mommy has something to tell you.”


  Wan Bao blinked his big black eyes. “Mommy, is Papa coming back from his business trip?”


  “No, it’s about your biological daddy.”
