Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Beside the curb outside the Xie's Media Building.

Xie Tianyun, dressed in a suit and tie, showed no signs of composure at this moment.

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Why aren't they back yet? It's so late..."

Xie Tianyun kept muttering to himself, his gaze sweeping over the traffic lights at the street corner for the thirtieth time.

Wang Wei squatted next to a trash can not far away, holding a cigarette that was mostly burned out.

Three girls stood side by side next to her.

Lin Xiaoshuang chewed her gum, and the pink bubble she blew popped on her lips with a "pop".

She reached up and casually ruffled her blond hair, then called out to Xie Tianyun, who was pacing back and forth:

"Old Deng."

Xie Tianyun paused in his steps.

Lin Xiaoshuang stretched out her finger and pointed it at the non-motorized vehicle lane in the distance:

"Stop wandering around, your daughter is back on her bike with my older brother."

Xie Tianyun looked in the direction Lin Xiaoshuang pointed.

With just that one glance, he used up most of his life's worth of self-restraint to feed the dog.

A No. 9 electric scooter was slowly turning the corner.

The person riding the bicycle was his precious daughter, whom he cherished and had never lifted a heavy object.

This is nothing.

The real problem is Xie Lingmo's current condition.

Her usually fair face was now as red as a monkey's bottom, and the redness even spread to her neck.

Her short pink hair was disheveled by the wind, and her beautiful eyes were filled with fleeting tears.

Behind her sat Bai Li, the man who made him grit his teeth.

What's even more hateful is...

Bai Li's hand was around his daughter's waist!

Even through the thin fabric, Xie Tianyun could see that those two hands were far from well-behaved, still kneading intermittently!

The cigarette Wang Wei had just inhaled got stuck in his throat, causing him to cough repeatedly.

Goodness gracious, could Brother Li be the legendary walking succubus?

He just went out for a meal, and not only did the rich young lady personally ride his bike to take him there, but she also went to such lengths to manipulate him?

"Lingmo!!"

Xie Tianyun lost all reason and let out a furious shout that echoed through the street.

He strode forward and, without saying a word, raised his hand and slapped Bai Li's hand hard on the back.

"Smack!" A crisp sound of flesh hitting flesh.

"You jerk! Where are you putting your hands?!"

Xie Tianyun's eyes blazed with fury as he pulled Xie Lingmo protectively behind him.

"How can you, the daughter of the Xie family, ride an electric scooter with a poor boy on the back? What kind of behavior is this!"

Xie Tianyun spoke with spittle flying, his chest heaving violently:

"Kid, what kind of bewitching potion did you give my daughter?"

Bai Li shook his aching hand, his expression sincere and innocent:

"Uncle, you've misunderstood. This is for safety reasons."

He seemed to feel guilty and continued, looking embarrassed:

"Besides..."

"You wouldn't want...your daughter to fall, would you...?"

Having lived for so many years, Xie Tianyun naturally had a wealth of experience.

This phrase sounds familiar; I think I often use it with my subordinates...

At that moment, the boomerang pierced his own body.

His finger, pointing at Bai Li, trembled violently, his tone filled with barely suppressed rage:

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"What kind of tune is that? Say it again and see!"

Bai Li's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had unconsciously said something he shouldn't have. He quickly waved his hand to explain:

"Uncle, calm down, calm down."

"I just couldn't sit still, so I just grabbed it casually."

The fighting ahead is raging.

The three girls behind them weren't idle either; they huddled together and whispered amongst themselves.

Lin Xiaoshuang scratched the back of her head, looking puzzled, and asked:

"What's wrong with you, bro? It's just a ride on an electric scooter, why is your face so red?"

Li Mengmeng crossed her arms over her chest, her white-stockinged legs pressed together beneath her pleated skirt.

"I don't know."

"But it's only a short ten-minute drive... nothing can possibly happen."

Jiang Ruyue seemed to have discovered something.

She just blinked blankly, then her eyes suddenly lit up:

"It's that captivating, alluring vibe that Sister Mengmeng often exudes!"

"The little pink-haired puppy must have been forgotten to be dried and softened!"

Lin Xiaoshuang and Li Mengmeng exchanged a glance and nodded repeatedly.

"Looks like Zhang Qian has a rival now..."

While the group was talking, Xie Tianyun continued to hurl profanities at them.

Lin Xiaoshuang was getting impatient. She cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Don't be in such a hurry! Your precious daughter will give you a real headache soon!"

Xie Tianyun was unimpressed and was about to take out his phone to call the security department to throw this arrogant poor kid out of Yunshi.

Xie Lingmo spoke up from behind:

"Old Deng."

The young lady completely ignored her father's anger, speaking in a very casual tone:

Bai Li said he wanted a car that could seat several people.

She pointed her slender finger at Bai Li, who was standing to the side, and said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Why don't you give him your Maybach with the license plate number Yun 99999?"

? ? ? ? ?

The rage on Xie Tianyun's face was replaced by bewilderment.

What did the daughter say? What should she give to that boy?

That Maybach with a displacement of 99999?

What does this mean?

He stared blankly at his daughter, whom he had raised with great care and luxury, and didn't react for a long time.

This was the first time Xie Tianyun felt like a stranger to his daughter.

That was Xie Tianyun's face, the face of his powerful influence in Yunshi, a rare and exclusive toy he had acquired at great expense.

He would yell at the driver for ages if the driver used even a little extra effort while washing the car.

That's his lifeline!

Now, her own daughter is going to casually give this top-of-the-line luxury car to this blond-haired kid who was just touching her waist, without even blinking an eye?!

Wang Wei stood by the trash can, completely stunned by what he saw.

He raised his hands and gave Bai Li two big thumbs up.

Bro, you're still the toughest.

I used to think that the limit was that you were already at when you were using PUA tactics on someone's daughter and she let you touch her leg.

Now look what's happened! The girl is starting to use her dad's car to pay for your car!

Xie Tianyun's blood pressure soared to 200.

He turned his head, his eyes wide with anger, his hair standing on end as if he had been hit by a cannonball:

"What exactly did you do to my daughter?!"

"Did you drug her? Or cast a spell on her?"

Bai Li tried to explain, but Xie Tianyun didn't give him a chance. He pointed at Bai Li, spitting everywhere:

"You just wait! I'm going to have someone deal with you!"

After shouting that, Xie Tianyun turned around with a heartbroken look on his face.

He grabbed Xie Lingmo's wrist and pulled her toward the building's glass revolving doors.

"Mo'er, come back with Daddy right now! Daddy will go and ask Hajigao for you. If Hajigao doesn't work, I'll ask Haji God. We have to get rid of that bastard's curse on you!"

As Xie Tianyun spoke, he delivered his final ultimatum to Bai Li without turning his head:

"You brat."

"From today onwards, you will never see my daughter again!"

Seeing this, Li Mengmeng and Jiang Ruyue quickly ran to Bai Li's side.

Li Mengmeng stretched out her finger, hooked Bai Li's left hand and shook it, looking at him with a worried expression.

Jiang Ruyue then hooked her little finger around Bai Li's right hand and whispered:

"It's okay, he only said he'd 'do it' to you, but he didn't say where, who would do it, or how..."

Both of them were using their own methods to provide emotional support to Bai Li.

Lin Xiaoshuang stood at the back, swallowing hard.

"This... seems a bit serious. The old man is getting anxious."

But before Xie Tianyun could pull Xie Lingmo away...

Xie Lingmo then forcefully shook off Xie Tianyun's hand.

Xie Tianyun stumbled, looking at his daughter with heartache in his eyes, and was about to reach out to pull her back again.

Xie Lingmo raised her exquisite and beautiful face.

Those once gloomy and lifeless eyes, usually clouded by a long-term illness, were now brimming with vitality and determination.

That is the radiance after finding redemption.

She raised her clear voice and loudly announced to Xie Tianyun:

"Dad! But because of him, I'm not depressed anymore!"

This statement is powerful and resounding.

Xie Tianyun's hand, which had been suspended in mid-air, stopped.

It took Xie Tianyun a long time to react:

"What...what did you say???"

......

...
