“What are you laughing at?” Fu Ting took two steps down the stairs. When he realized that she was not following him, he turned around and looked at her strangely.

Lian Meng quickly wiped the smile off her face and said with a straight face, “Nothing. I’m going home.”

“Wait.” Fu Ting stopped her and looked at the students standing at the hospital entrance. He narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Your classmates were injured. Shouldn’t you thank them?”

“Indeed, I should thank you.” Lian Meng looked at him thoughtfully, then turned around and walked to her classmates. She bowed deeply and said, “Thank you for helping me today. I’ve let you down this time. I’ll definitely compensate you in the future.”

“Meng Meng, you’re being too polite. We men can’t let someone bully you in front of us, right?” The boys rubbed their noses in embarrassment.

In fact, Huang Long was the only one of the gang who had wanted to kill Lian Meng. He had kept a close eye on Lian Meng, but did not attack anyone else. The others clearly did not want to get into trouble. It was just that the students found them intimidating as they had looked very fierce.

The other students only sustained minor injuries. They would be fine after recuperating.

The girls had been frightened but when they thought about what had happened, they only felt excited and were very grateful to Lian Meng for protecting them.

“Anyway, I still have to thank all of you. If you need help in the future, feel free to look for me.” Lian Meng was very generous to her friends. She sincerely viewed them as close friends, which was why she made this promise to them.

The young people felt very close to each other after this incident and they did not want to go home just like that. Fortunately, Fu Ting had already captured

Huang Long. They were in no danger, so they agreed to continue to the bar and have a drink.

Fu Ting listened quietly. At this moment, he interrupted, “It’s too dangerous for students like you to go to that kind of place. Why don’t I find a place for you to have fun? I’ll protect you.”

“Sure!” The boys admired Fu Ting. When he said this, they immediately nodded in agreement.

Lian Meng looked at the expectant gazes of her classmates. Even if Fu Ting and her were not close, they were still cousins, so she nodded in agreement.

They went off as a group that night to celebrate.

At that time, Lian Jing was in the process of taking over as the new President of Lian Corporation. Lian’e was very busy every day because of that, but she could not find a way to change the old man’s mind.

The office was filled with smoke. Fu Xiao called Fu Ting again and again. Just as his patience was about to run out, he heard Fu Ting’s voice.

“Where are you? Hurry back to the office!” Fu Xiao said angrily over the phone.

Fu Ting was at the bar with his friends. When he heard his father’s exasperated voice, he immediately put on a serious expression and said, “Dad, what happened?”

Fu Xiao took a deep breath and forced himself not to curse. “Hurry up and come back. Otherwise, don’t blame me when your mother gets angry!”

“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Fu Ting handed the rest of the work to his subordinates and drove back to the office.

In the office, Lian’e looked worried as she buried her head in her hands. When she heard the noise at the door, she suddenly looked up as if she had been frightened. She even flung off the coat that was wrapped around her shoulders. “Dad, Mom, what happened?” Fu Ting choked on the smoke as he entered. He turned on the ventilator and sat on the chair facing the desk.

Lian’e suddenly stood up and stared straight at her son. “Little Ting, I heard that you’ve been very close to Lian Jing’s sister recently?”

Fu Ting was taken aback. He nodded casually and said, “Not really. We’re not very close it.”

Lian’e’s eyes lit up. She excitedly walked around the desk and grabbed Fu Ting’s hand. “All my hopes are on you now. Can you do me a favor? Otherwise, that brat from the Lian family will lord it over us!”

“You mean Lian Jing?” Fu Ting frowned. He did not like to interfere in family matters, but he knew that it was his mother’s ambition that made her mention Lian Meng at this junction.

When he thought of that innocent little girl, Fu Ting suddenly wanted to turn around and leave. That way, he would not have to hear what his mother said next.

However, no matter how reluctant he felt, he still followed his mother’s instructions and invited Lian’e to a bar that did not belong to him.

That night, Fu Ting arranged to meet many friends at the same time. He had something on his mind and drank glass after glass. Before he could do anything, he was already drunk.

He still remembered that night. He sat on the cold floor of the bar and looked up at the flickering lights on the ceiling, that looked like stars. Suddenly, he wanted to sleep for a long time. That way, he could flee the heavy burden he carried..
