Her father smiled lightly and scolded, “Foolish girl, you’re still crying when you come to see your father. I’ll be worried if you keep crying.”
She lowered her head and closed her eyes to hold back her tears before she opened them again.
When she looked up again, she seemed calmer. “I’m just happy to see you.”
“It’s actually very good inside. The warden praised me for being serious yesterday. I’m fine now. Maybe I can reduce my sentence and get released earlier.”
If he only violated the law, he might still have a chance to reduce his sentence, but unfortunately, he chose the wrong side and became the victim of a political struggle. His money was exhausted, and he was only left with a life in prison.
Shen Qieyi smiled bitterly, and she said, “Yes, you must be well so that our family can reunite soon.”
“How are you doing recently? I see you have lost a lot of weight.” Her father turned the topic to Shen Qieyi.
Shen Qieyi had been prepared about this question for a long time, so she had a faint smile on her face at the moment.
“Fu Yao treats me very well. Life is really good for me.”
As she said this, she stretched out her hand and waved the bracelet on her wrist. “Yesterday, he even gave me a bracelet.”
Upon hearing this, her father sighed at first, and then he looked relaxed.
“Fu Yao is a responsible man. I knew it. Even if it is true… he will still take good care of you.”
At this point, he looked sorry and said, “Qieyi, it’s all my fault for what happened at that time. If I hadn’t pushed him too hard, perhaps you two wouldn’t have so many arguments.”
Shen Qieyi’s father devoted himself to helping her get what she wanted. Shen Qieyi was clear about this point.
“Dad.” Shen Qieyi shook her head again. “Don’t say anything about the past. I am having a good time now. Even if I was unhappy before, it has passed.”
“As for you, you must take good care of yourself in prison. Don’t worry about the past. Now you just need to get out of prison safely.”
The former glory was a sharp contrast to the present imprisonment. Her father was not a forgetful man. If he kept suppressing it, he would not let the matter go.
“Okay.” he nodded. “I’ll take good care of myself.”
“Don’t have any conflicts with anyone inside. If anything happens, find the warden if you can’t bear it.” Shen Qieyi couldn’t help reminding him. She couldn’t rest assured about him.
They were father and daughter, and their personalities were similar.
Before Shen Qieyi came, she purposely put on the bracelet in order to show that Fu Yao treated her very well, that she was now in a good state.
Then what about her father?
Shen Qieyi knew that he also thought so in his heart.
So every time she came to see him, what he said to her was everything was good.
He only mentioned the good things because he didn’t want his family to worry. The more he behaved like this, the more she was worried.
Mr. Shen nodded and his voice sounded tired. “I’ll take good care of myself. For you and your mum, I will survive well.”
After a pause, he looked down.
He asked slowly, “How is your mother?”
“She’s very well now. She has walked out of the shadow of the past. She’s eating and drinking now and is very happy every day. A few days ago, she told me that after you’re released from prison, you have to take her to travel around the world to make up to her.”
After calmly saying these words, Shen Qieyi gently loosened her hands that had just been clenched.
She lowered her head subconsciously, with a few fingernail marks on her palm.
Her mother had already passed away, but she was afraid that her father would not accept such a blow, so she kept the truth a secret.
She had lost one of her family, so she must try her best to protect her father.
Even if it was a huge lie, she must give her father hope for the future.
“That’s great, as long as she is well.” He was full of smiles, and his eyes were wet. He said, “You tell her that I am living a good life now. Don’t take her here. I don’t want her to see me like this.”
Looking at the smile on her father’s face, Shen Qieyi felt a burst of pain in her heart.
If her father was released from prison and knew that everything was a lie, how painful would it be?
… By the time Shen Qieyi left the police station, the sun was about to set.
She looked in front, and her tears fell again. She gently wiped the tears on her face, adjusted her mood, and took a taxi to leave.
Sitting in the car, Shen Qieyi turned on her phone.
As the screen lit up, Shen Qieyi noticed that there were more than a dozen missed calls on the screen. Only one came from Mo Yirou, and the rest were all from Bai Jingyan.
Shen Qieyi looked at the words “Mr. Bai”, and changed the name to “Bai Jingyan”.
The more she looked at the name, the more familiar it became.
Bai Jingyan. She silently read the name in her heart. Shen Qieyi searched the name on her phone.
Soon, a lot of information was found.
“Bai Jingyan, the son of the Bai family, is spending the night at the bar. Many female companions were surrounding him.”
“Bai Jingyan goes in and out of the nightclub, holding one girl on each side, living his best life.”
… In the search, there was a picture of Bai Jingyan dressed in black. He looked like a good-for-nothing.
Only then did Shen Qieyi recall who Bai Jingyan was.
The son of the Bai family was also the heir of the Bai Enterprise.
She was not sure how powerful the Bai family was. But there was once, she accidentally heard Fu Yao telling his secretary to be careful of Bai family.
Thus, it meant that the power of the Bai family was not weaker than that of the Fu family.
Shen Qieyi smiled helplessly. If the Shen family hadn’t lost everything, they would not be afraid of the Bai family at all.
But now she had provoked such a man. She couldn’t help feeling a little headache.
Putting the phone aside, Shen Qieyi drove to the hospital.
As soon as she started her journey, the phone rang immediately.
Shen Qieyi turned around and saw the name Bai Jingyan dancing on the screen. The ringing sound was particularly harsh.
She turned her head and did not want to answer the phone.
She was already feeling uncomfortable, but Bai Jingyan kept looking for her.
Last night, she didn’t answer his calls and turned off her phone. And today, she missed his calls during the daytime. Shen Qieyi could imagine Bai Jingyan’s angry look now.
She had to endure his temper anyway. She might as well wait until she was in a good mood.
… Shen Qieyi pushed the door open and entered the office. When she saw the man sitting in front of her desk, she immediately stopped.
