Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was shocking enough!
Li Haoran was so surprised he lost his balance.
Bang!
Li Haoran fell hard to the ground.
Li Beinian found this a little funny, but also ironic.
She walked in slowly and turned towards the bed.
Old Mr. Li had been alerted by the commotion and was now looking up.
His eyes widened when he saw Li Beinian.
Old Mr. Li looked at this granddaughter in disbelief. “Nian Nian?”
His voice was hoarse and weak, but it was filled with emotion.
Li Beinian went forward as her heart softened. “Grandpa.”
Old Mr. Li grabbed Li Beinian’s hands while his hands trembled. He choked. “I knew you were still alive!”
Li Beinian felt tears well up in her eyes and patted his hands gently. “It’s fine now, I’m back.”
“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back!” he said in tears.
“Nian Nian?” Li Haoran was only sure that she was alive after seeing their interaction.
He stammered. “Nian Nian, you’re… not dead?”
“What do you think?” Li Beinian asked.
Li Haoran was taken aback but hurriedly nodded. “That’s good… that’s great!”
Li Beinian wavered slightly as she saw his reaction.
He didn’t look like he was feigning it. She felt her anger subside. “It’s fine now. I’m back, aren’t I?”
Li Haoran smiled and wiped his tears. “But what happened? I sent some people to look for your body, but they never found it. I thought…”
It was such a tall bridge and the car had exploded. It was hard to believe that she was alive!
“Someone saved me.”
“Who?” Old Mr. Li asked. “We need to thank that person! We have to pay him a visit to express our gratitude!”
“It’s… Mu Xichen.”
Upon hearing the name, Li Haoran and Old Mr. Li looked at her in shock.
“Who’s it again?” Li Haoran was stunned. “Mu Donglin’s younger brother, Mu Xichen?”
Li Beinian nodded and told them briefly about what had happened.
Old Mr. Li and Li Haoran looked solemn.
“What’s wrong?” Li Beinian found their expressions a little odd.
But before they could answer, they heard some voices coming from outside.
A tall figure entered, followed by a young man who appeared to be a secretary.
The secretary was holding a few bags of gifts that looked expensive and luxurious.
Mu Donglin was evidently stunned when he saw Li Beinian.
He pursed his lips, as if unhappy to see her.
He turned towards Old Mr. Li instead.
“Grandpa Li, I’m here to see you. I didn’t expect to be greeted with such a surprise.”
Li Haoran smiled awkwardly. “Donglin, it’s all a misunderstanding. We’d all thought that something had happened to Nian Nian, but it turns out she’d been blessed! Mr. Mu saved her!”
“Mr. Mu?” Mu Donglin asked, “Mu Xichen?”
He eyed Li Beinian as he said that.
Li Beinian looked straight at him. “Yes.”
“Oh…” Mu Donglin looked cold and sarcastic. “What a coincidence.”
“That’s right.” Li Beinian sat straight and looked into his eyes. “I’m not dead yet, sorry to disappoint you.”
Mu Donglin’s expression turned awful. He looked at the bandage on her arm and said, “I’m a little disappointed indeed.”
