After settling the house, Su Bei felt extremely happy despite not being very pleased with Hua Jinan's frivolousness.
However, her current good mood had washed away the previous unpleasantness.
She walked out of the room and finalized the related matters of payment with Old He. Subsequently, she took a cab and left.
When she reached home, she fell asleep soundly.
By the time Su Bei woke up the next day, it was already noon.
For the first time in her life, her mother spoke softly to her when she filled the table with dishes. Her mother was laughing most of the time.
In the afternoon, the entire family sat around the table with a great atmosphere.
Su Bei knew that it was because of the house.
But she was still happy about it.
She loved to see everyone in the family looking happy. As such, she had a satisfying lunch.
In the afternoon, Su Bei brought her brother to pay the loan and get the key.
Old He provided attentive and considerate service.
Everything went quite smoothly. As Su Bei sat in the new house, feeling the warm sunshine, she finally took a load off her mind.
"Beibei, I'll definitely pay you back." Su Yu sounded a little apologetic.
Su Bei tugged Su Yu's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "Brother, if I were to pay you back for all that you've done for me previously, I doubt I'll be able to clear the debt in this life. Did you say that because you want me to return your debt?"
When she had the accident that year, her brother almost died for her. Even though they eventually saved his life, his spleen was injured instead.
At present, he was unable to do any intense work.
Her brother was a headstrong person!
Su Yu quickly answered, "Beibei, I don't mean that. Besides, my injury has got nothing to do with you. I was too impulsive and careless!"
Su Bei shook her head. "Brother, don't mention it anymore. It's all my fault!"
"Beibei!"
"Brother, don't worry. I've become stronger after six years. Those matters in the past are nothing to me. My only wish now is for our family to be safe and happy together." Su Bei revealed a warm smile.
"Mm, we will be." Su Yu paused and continued, "Qin Yan and I have made up."
Upon mention of Qin Yan, Su Bei could not help but quiver. What happened that night remained a weight in her heart. Each time she thought of it, she would begin to feel uneasy.
Su Bei let out a long sigh. "Brother, I want to ask you something!"
"What is it?"
"Did you buy the bottle of water you gave me the night I met Luo Yingdong?"
Upon hearing her question, Su Yu felt a little strange. He got up and looked at Su Bei. "What is it, Beibei? Why do you ask?"
Su Bei looked into his eyes. "I just want to know."
Under the brilliant gaze of Su Bei, Su Yu shifted his eyes away while he nodded. "I bought it."
Su Bei felt a tug in her heart as she stared at him. "Did you really buy it?"
"Mm."
"Who else touched that bottle of water?" Su Bei was tense and uneasy.
Su Yu replied with a muffled voice. "No one else."
As though someone just dropped a bomb on Su Bei, she felt her heart was crushed and torn apart instantly.
"What's the problem? Beibei?" asked Su Yu softly.
Su Bei shook her head, but she could not hide the sadness in her faint smile. "It's nothing."
After Su Yu and her went their separate ways, Su Bei walked on the bustling streets on her own.
Yet, she felt like she was the only one left in the entire world.
What her brother said stabbed her heart mercilessly, just like a sharp knife.
However, she did not believe that her brother, who had been protecting her, would drug and send her to that playboy's bed!
She won't believe it!
She was getting tired from the walk and eventually stopped. The luxury car that was following her stopped beside her.
Qin Zhong quickly got out and opened the door for her as soon as she stopped walking.
Empire State Building...
Hua Jinan, who was in the middle of a meeting with the higher management, frowned at the ringing sound of the phone. All the directors and deputy directors took out their mobile phones to check.
Ye Qing went to Hua Jinan and reported, "Mr. Hua, it's Qin Zhong on the line."
Hua Jinan's eyebrows furrowed even more. "It's me. What? She wants a drink? Then take her to Wenqing!"
After he hung up the phone, Hua Jinan returned it to Ye Qing. With an impassive voice, he said, "Reserve the entire place."
