Chapter 1808 Car Accident

In the end, Zhao Fusheng didn't stay in Hong Kong for too long.

The reason was simple: his daughter was sick.

Upon hearing the news, even though Li Yuan had already said it was just a cold caused by a sudden drop in temperature, Fan Baobao couldn't stop worrying about her precious daughter. She dragged Zhao Fusheng across the border that very night and hurried back to the capital.

A mother's heart is tied to her child's. For a mother, even the smallest matter concerning her child is more important than anything else in the world.

"It's all my fault. If only I hadn't taken her for a walk in the garden that day."

When Zhao Fusheng and Fan Baobao arrived home, Li Yuan was full of self-blame.

The family now lived in a villa. When Li Yuan had nothing to do, she would take her granddaughter for a walk in the garden. After all, everyone living in this neighborhood was either rich or noble, so she wasn't worried about anything.

"It's fine."

Zhao Fusheng and Fan Baobao felt differently. Although they also felt sorry for their sick daughter, children get sick all the time. Nowadays, kids were too precious. When he was little, he was as tough as nails.

Leaving the child in the care of Fan Baobao and Li Yuan, Zhao Fusheng took on the task of picking up Fan Beibei from school.

"Brother!"

Seeing Zhao Fusheng at the school gate, Fan Beibei was overjoyed. She ran over in little steps and threw herself into his arms.

"Were you good at school today?" Zhao Fusheng asked the little girl with a smile.

"Hmph, I'm so old now, and you still ask that."

The little girl clearly didn't like being treated like a child.

This was a common ailment among most children. What they disliked most was being regarded as children by adults, even though they were still immature.

"Haha, no matter how old you are, in my eyes, you're still a child."

Zhao Fusheng laughed and patted the little girl's head. "Come on, I'll take you out for a big meal!"

"Really?"

At the mention of a big meal, the little girl was clearly very excited.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

Zhao Fusheng smiled and stroked Fan Beibei's head. "Come on, what do you want to eat?"

"Meat!"

"Okay."

A tall figure and a small one walked side by side ahead, with several cars following behind them.

"How's school going?"

Zhao Fusheng held Fan Beibei's hand and asked her.

After all, she was in elementary school now, especially at a school in the capital. Although Zhao Fusheng didn't care whether she studied well or not, he still felt that the little girl should have a normal childhood.

"It's okay."

Fan Beibei replied like a little adult. "Sometimes when I don't understand, Tong Kexin teaches me. She's really nice."

"Oh?"

Zhao Fusheng was taken aback. The name Tong Kexin sounded like a girl's, and he seemed to recall Fan Beibei mentioning it before.

"Tong Kexin, is she your deskmate?" Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and asked the little girl with a smile.

"Mm-hmm, she became our class monitor this semester." Clearly, Fan Beibei liked her deskmate very much. When she mentioned it to Zhao Fusheng, her face was full of pride.

Zhao Fusheng smiled. "Since someone helps you, remember to thank her."

Regardless, he and Fan Baobao both hoped that Fan Beibei would grow up to be a grateful person. There wasn't much kindness in the world, so if you received it, you should know how to appreciate it.

No matter the reason for others' kindness, you should respect it.

Even if you don't need it, you should politely decline rather than simply and rudely ignore the other person.

"Mm, every day I share the snacks and fruit Mom gives me with her."

Fan Beibei nodded. "The teacher told us that good things should be shared with friends."

Zhao Fusheng laughed heartily. "Right, right."

Just then, Fan Beibei suddenly saw a figure ahead and immediately waved and shouted, "Xinxin!"

Then she let go of Zhao Fusheng's hand and ran forward.

Zhao Fusheng was startled because he saw that the girl was standing next to a woman dressed in a sanitation worker's uniform.

"Beibei, it's you."

The one hugging Fan Beibei was a little girl in a school uniform.

"Brother, this is Xinxin, my good friend!"

Fan Beibei pulled the little girl over to Zhao Fusheng and said.

"Hello."

The little girl greeted Zhao Fusheng politely.

Zhao Fusheng nodded and said with a smile, "I heard you've been helping our Beibei a lot at school. Thank you."

"It's nothing. We're friends." The little girl said to Zhao Fusheng.

Looking at the polite child, Zhao Fusheng smiled and asked the woman behind her, "And this is?"

"This is my mom." Tong Kexin quickly introduced. "Mom, this is Beibei, and this is Beibei's brother."

"Hello."

Zhao Fusheng greeted the woman, who was clearly over forty, politely.

"Hello, hello."

The woman looked at Zhao Fusheng, then at Wu Sijie and the men in black suits standing not far away, somewhat surprised.

"Beibei and I are going to eat. If you have time, you can join us."

Zhao Fusheng extended an invitation.

In his view, since she was Beibei's friend, having a meal together was perfectly normal.

"Well, I'd better not. I'm working. Kexin, you go ahead." Tong Kexin's mother was a bit hesitant, but she still said to her daughter.

But the little girl didn't want to leave her mother. She turned around and politely said to Zhao Fusheng, "Brother, thank you, but I want to stay here with my mom."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and said nothing more.

He wasn't the type to be oblivious. For this mother and daughter, this might be their pride, and he'd better not disrupt it.

"Alright, maybe another time."

Zhao Fusheng said to them with a smile.

With that, he led the somewhat disappointed Fan Beibei away.

Fan Beibei reluctantly said goodbye to Tong Kexin, then continued walking ahead with Zhao Fusheng.

Not far ahead, there was a Northeastern barbecue restaurant. Zhao Fusheng had taken her there once before, and it was delicious.

The two of them ate quickly, especially since they weren't drinking. Zhao Fusheng carefully grilled the meat for Fan Beibei, filling the little girl up.

"Ah, I'm full!"

Holding her round belly, Fan Beibei said with a grin.

"Since you're full, let's go home."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Fan Beibei.

"Mm-hmm, let's take a walk first, a walk."

The little girl was quite health-conscious and said to Zhao Fusheng with a grin.

Zhao Fusheng nodded and looked at her fondly.

For Zhao Fusheng, the happiest thing was for the little girl to grow up healthy and happy.

He let Wu Sijie pay the bill, and the two of them walked back along the way they came.

After walking a short distance, they saw Tong Kexin and her mother. The woman was bent over sweeping the street, while Tong Kexin sat obediently on the curb, watching her mother.

For some reason, Zhao Fusheng suddenly found it very heartwarming.

Perhaps for them, material life was indeed lacking, but the mother and daughter relied on each other, supporting one another. That feeling must be very happy.

"Brother, can I play with Xinxin for a while before going home?" Fan Beibei also saw Tong Kexin and her mother and suddenly asked Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure."

He noticed there was a park nearby where the two children could play.

Kids could play for ages with something they liked, and the park had all sorts of things, enough to keep them entertained for a while.

Just as they were talking, a commotion suddenly broke out not far away.

Turning around, they saw Tong Kexin's mother lying on the ground, and beside her was a blue supercar.

"Let's go check it out!"

Zhao Fusheng quickly pulled Fan Beibei over.

At that moment, a young man got out of the sports car, looking displeased. "Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, what's your problem? Don't try to scam me!"

"Mom!"

Tong Kexin had been scared stiff just now, but now she came to her senses and threw herself onto her mother.

"I'm fine, Xinxin."

Tong Kexin's mother lifted her head with difficulty and forced a smile at her daughter.

By then, Zhao Fusheng and Fan Beibei had already arrived...
