Chapter 154: My Sister

Li Jingran never dreamed that the person shielding Shen Xi would be Fu Qingye. She observed the upstanding yet overbearing man before her. “Mr. Fu.”

With a cold look on his face, Fu Qingye let out a chilly smile and said, “Ms. Li, has my sister stepped on your toes? Why the tantrum?”

Li Jingran thought it was ridiculous when the word sister was brought up. “As far as I know, Mr. Fu, your sister hasn’t been found.”

“This has nothing to do with you.” Fu Qingye may carry a mild-mannered smile, but his body language spoke of warning and unapproachable distance.

“Mr. Fu, don’t be easily fooled.” Flustered, Li Jingran went for it since she had nothing to lose but grace. “She’s not your sister but my biological daughter!”

The refined smile on his face disappeared without a trace following these words, leaving only cynicism. “So, the way you treat your biological daughter is to cut ties with her. Forgive my ignorance but this is the first time I’ve ever heard such a ridiculous thing in my life.”

Shen Xi widened her eyes in shock to learn that Mr. Movie Star made enquiries about her!

It never occurred to Li Jingran that Fu Qingye would know so much. She pointed at Shen Xi. “A mother doesn’t kill her own. Mr. Fu, do you think a person would do such a thing to their own daughter for no reason at all? Please ask around about what she’s actually done and don’t be deceived by her lies!”

The d*mn brat was sure manipulative!

Just how much had she bad-mouthed their family to Fu Qingye?

How was she able to get involved with him and twist the facts to gain his sympathy in return?

“Don’t concern yourself with my business, Ms. Li.” Fu Qingye held Shen Xi’s hand and grinned ever so tauntingly. “You don’t want her yet you don’t allow others to be nice to her. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”

Shen Xi was dumbfounded. What was going on? Not only was Mr. Movie Star in the know, but he also came to her defense and helped fire back at Li Jingran.

The mystery was finally unraveled. Mr. Movie Star felt sorry, pitied, and was nice to her because of her past.

“Mr. Fu, that’s not what I meant.” Li Jingran was just about to lose it. Why was there such an insensible person in the world?

She was reminding him to watch out against falling prey to the conniving brat, Shen Xi’s trickery!

“Ms. Li, if there’s nothing else, I should get going.” Returning to his usual manners and demeanor, Fu Qingye pulled Shen Xi to leave alongside.

Li Jingran could feel her blood boiling. Watching his receding figure, she gave him a final heads-up. “Mr. Fu, don’t listen to her nonsense and twisting of the truth. She has a malicious mind and had the audacity to lay a hand on her own family. She committed an unforgivable mistake, and it was she who demanded we cut ties.”

Fu Qingye stopped in his tracks.

Li Jingran was overjoyed as he finally came to grips with who was good and who was the bad guy. “Every word I say is for your own good.”

Soon, Fu Qingye would find out she was right about Shen Xi being a hard-hearted brat. He would thank her.

Fu Qingye solemnly admonished her. “Ms. Li, I don’t care how she was in the past or what the grudge is between you. She will be my sister and whoever picks on her is going against my Fu family!”

Li Jingran had a brief blackout, having seen red. Propping herself against the wall, she spoke out of humiliation and rage. “Mr. Fu, you will regret this!”
