Xiao Bing gently patted Liu Xiaorui’s back and said softly, “It’ll be fine. Don’t cry.”
“I… I’m terrified… I saw that man trying to stab that auntie. It reminded me of my mother.”
Xiao Bing sighed inwardly. She was traumatized. Small wonder it reminded her of her mother. She had almost recovered from that since Xiao Bing came back. But now the incident reopened her wound. If it were not for this little girl, Xiao Bing would have hit those men again.
Holding Liu Xiaorui in his arms, Xiao Bing stood up and exhaled, “You don’t need to be scared now. I’m right here. No one can hurt you.”
Liu Xiaorui nodded. But the fear in her heart would not disappear that easily.
The woman walked over to Xiao Bing and said, “Thank you…”
“That’s not necessary.” Xiao Bing said impatiently, “I’ll do the same for anyone else. You can go now.”
The woman hesitated for a moment and left. Xiao Bing said to Yezi, “Come, let’s order our lunch.”
Xiao Bing then walked into the restaurant with the two girls. While Lu Jinling’s men were about to help Lu Jinling up, they suddenly heard sirens. Several police cars pulled over and out came a gallant policewoman. She pointed at Lu Jinling and his lot and said, “Arrest them!”
“Wait. We are the victims.”
“You are arresting the wrong people!”
Xiao Bing sniggered as he looked at the scene through the window. They said that the law was made by money and power, so Xiao Bing decided to let them know how it felt to be humiliated by power.
Xiao Bing turned to look at Yezi and Liu Xiaorui, as he saw these men being taken away by the police. He felt sorry for them. Liu Xiaorui was supposed to have a perfect day, but these men had ruined it for her.
After Xiao Bing ordered, he hesitated and looked at Liu Xiaorui with a serious face. “Little Huarui, what are you thinking of? Are you scared?”
“Yes.” Biting her lips, Liu Xiaorui nodded. She was still a little girl. It was too much for a kid of her age to bear.
Xiao Bing sighed inwardly, but he still seemed stern. “Do you love your mother?”
“Of course… But she’s gone.”
Clearly Yezi did not know why Xiao Bing brought it up to Liu Xiaorui. She cast Xiao Bing a glance, but she did not ask Xiao Bing why. She knew that no matter what Xiao Bing did, there would be a reason behind it.
Xiao Bing said, “Do you understand what happened just now.”
Liu Xiaorui shook her head, but then she nodded. “They wanted to take the purse because there’s money in it.”
Xiao Bing said, “You’re not totally right. Actually, they were looking for excitement, not money. They are not short of money.
Liu Xiaorui said, “I don’t understand. Why did they want to take the purse?”
Xiao Bing sighed, “There are so many things that we don’t understand in this world. Just as what that man had said, there are laws in society. But they think power can change it. You may not understand what I said. But tell me, do you like bad guys like him?”
Liu Xiaorui shook her head. In her eyes, there was resentment, which was something that was not supposed to be seen in a child of her age. “I don’t like him.”
Xiao Bing said, “If you don’t like him, then you must be powerful. You should take care of yourself and live your life, study hard and be a useful person. In that way, you can protect yourself from being bullied. You must be tough if you want to do it!”
Liu Xiaorui lowered her head and nodded, “Brother, I know now.”
“Well, actually… Little Huarui, as long as you can live happily, it matters more than anything else. Your mother would be delighted to see you smile. You must try to let go of the pain that is haunting you, and live your life and be a tough girl. Can you promise me that?”
Liu Xiaorui nodded her head.
While the courses were almost served, Liu Xiaorui suddenly said, “Brother, I want orange juice.”
Xiao Bing grinned, “Okay. Waiter, please give us a cup of orange juice… Make it three.”
Looking at Liu Xiaorui, Xiao Bing said inwardly, “Little Huarui, you are a very sensitive girl. You are only six, but you are almost as sensible as older kids. But that’s what makes me feel sad for you. You ought to have a happy and carefree childhood.”
The more sensible Liu Xiaorui was, the sadder Xiao Bing was. But in the time he had spent with her these two days, Xiao Bing believed that he could find a way to get this girl out of the darkness she was living in.
Soon the juice was served. Liu Xiaorui still seemed preoccupied when she was drinking it. Clearly she was still shocked by what happened, though she seemed calmer now. Xiao Bing suddenly felt angry because everything had been perfect until they met those men. Xiao Bing decided to punish them. Xiao Bing would not spare anyone who dared to harm his family.
Actually, no matter who Xiao Bing was in Dragon Teeth or Dragon Gate, Xiao Bing never flinched before difficulties. He would always punish those who dared to offend him.
Maybe it was not a quality a soldier should have. But that was Xiao Bing’s unique trait.
After lunch, Xiao Bing took a stroll with the two girls in an ancient alley, during which Liu Xiaorui gradually forgot about what had just happened and began talking and laughing.
When they returned home later, Zhan Hongyan, Maggie and Su Xiaoxiao were playing with a rubber band in the yard. Seeing Xiao Bing coming back, Maggie said excitedly, “Perfect, we are short of one person here. Yezi, please join us.”
Yezi smiled and shook her hand, “I’ve been walking all day. I don’t have the energy now.”
Maggie sounded upset, “You’re such a bummer.”
Maggie then looked at Liu Xiaorui. “Little Huarui, will you join us?”
“I…” Liu Xiaorui hesitated. But still, she was persuaded by Maggie. Xiao Bing smiled and followed Yezi to the hall.
Yezi was not the only one who felt tired today. Actually one of the things men feared most was shopping. Men were strange animals. They could do work that were a lot more tiring than shopping. But they tire easily whenever they were out shopping with women. Xiao Bing did not feel that tired because he loved these two girls. But he still wanted some rest.
Xiao Bing sat on the sofa with Yezi beside him. Seeing that no one else was around, Xiao Bing held Yezi in his arms and said softly, “What a pity that I can’t hold you like this at night.”
Yezi blushed, but she felt happy. “Only if you truly meant it. Besides, who said that I’m willing to be in your arms?”
Xiao Bing smiled, “Really? Then whose arms are you willing to lie in?”
“I’ll be angry if you say that again!”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, “I was just kidding. Are you busy lately? The fate of the whole company is on your shoulders. You must be very stressed.”
Yezi sighed and leaned on Xiao Bing’s shoulder. “My brother and sister are gone. They were the perfect ones to run the company. But before they could do that… Sometimes this is just how things work. Problems arise from misunderstandings. Sometimes I really fear that I’m not doing well enough. I fear that I will destroy this company, which was built from my father’s sweat and blood. I am only sitting on that chair because my sister and brother died. But I don’t want that. I want them to be with me.”
Holding Yezi in his arms, Xiao Bing said softly, “I know. It’s just sometimes we don’t get to choose. Alright, stop thinking about those things. I don’t want to see you so tired every day. I have made some money during the years. Though it’s almost nothing when compared to your family’s wealth, it is enough to support us to live a good life.”
Yezi felt touched and apologetic, “I’m sorry, big guy. This is the Ye Family’s assets. It’s our family’s hope. I won’t give it away that easily.”
Xiao Bing sighed, “I knew you would say that. But it doesn’t matter. We will figure this out sooner or later. We should let it be like that for now.”
Then Li Chunlan walked out of the kitchen and said loudly, “Dinner is ready!”
Xiao Bing stood up to notify the others. Then they all came in one by one, and washed their hands under Li Chunlan’s eagle eyes. But when they were about to have their dinner, Xiao Bing walked to a corner and called a number. He said coldly on the phone, “Remember, if Lu Jinling is released, you must tell me…There are problems that need to be settled!”
