Chapter 240: Flustered, it’s love hurt (9) The hurt caused by unscrupulous words

The car following the bodyguard also stopped, got out of the car quickly, and followed.

"Master, please get back to the car."

The bodyguard was worried about his safety and persuaded him to return to the car.

Long Lifei didn't even look at him, and walked straight to the corner of the street where no one noticed.

Lying on a pile of tattered and smelly clothes was a miserable man, with his eyes closed and dying. Sitting beside the cloth was a very small child.

Her thin face was so dirty that it was almost impossible to see what she looked like originally, her big eyes were watery and extremely clear, and her little hands were also covered with dirt.

He didn't seem to be able to speak yet, he just blinked his big eyes and looked at him without fear of Long Lifei at all.

Long Lifei stared at her closely - these eyes were so beautiful.

She also looked at Long Lifei intently, as if she had never seen such a beautiful person before, and suddenly she laughed, her eyes forming a bridge.

The bodyguard checked the beggar lying on the ground and said, "Master, his breath is almost gone."

Long Lifei frowned and looked at the person lying on the ground. Just as the man struggled to open his eyes, his dark eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life and looked at him with longing eyes.

What permeates the eyes is not the desire for life, but a kind of commission...

He was about to die. The only person he couldn't worry about was his young daughter.

Long Lifei seemed to understand the meaning in his eyes and nodded slightly.

The man also understood what he meant. It was not that he believed in this strange child too much, but that he had no choice.

His eyelids drooped slowly, and he finally wanted to look at his daughter, but he had no strength left, so he stretched his trembling fingers towards his daughter's face...

The dirty and black palms trembled in mid-air for a long time. In the end, they did not touch her daughter's face and quickly fell to the ground, right in front of her.

The girl was still very young and didn't understand what death was, so she thought her father just fell asleep again.

My little hand touched my father's cold and gradually stiffening hand, with a look of ignorance on his face.

Long Lifei reached out and took the dirty little girl into his arms, not caring at all that she would dirty his gorgeous clothes.

"Master..."

Both the bodyguard and the driver looked startled. No one expected that Long Lifei, who never liked to be close to others, would actually pick up such a dirty little girl on the side of the road.

The little girl giggled in his arms. Long Lifei stood up and coldly said three words, "Deal with it."

"Yes." The three bodyguards looked at each other, but did not dare to question his words.

Long Lifei hugged her body and tried to leave. The little girl seemed to realize something was wrong, and burst into tears with a "wow" sound, and her tears fell straight down.

Long Lifei was not impatient or angry. He touched her dirty, greasy and messy hair like a straw nest with his fingers, "Don't cry, I will take care of you in the future."

Miraculously, the little girl's crying stopped suddenly, and she seemed to understand what he said. Her watery eyes were covered with mist, but she refused to shed tears, and she held her mouth tightly, looking as aggrieved as she wanted.

Long Lifei's usually indifferent expression saw her aggrieved look, which made her want to cry but dared not cry. For the first time, the corners of her mouth curled up, and a smile loomed.

The little girl was stunned.

"Let's go home."

After Long Lifei finished speaking, he hugged her and got into the car.

The driver stood behind and hesitated for a moment. Finally, without saying anything, he got in the car and drove back to the Presidential Palace.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

Long Lifei walked into the hall holding the little girl. Ru Bing saw the dirty little thing in his arms and exclaimed: "Master, why did you bring back a little beggar?"

Long Lifei's steps paused, as if he was disgusted by the word "little beggar", and his face darkened, "She is not a beggar."

Ru Bing noticed his displeasure and immediately changed her words, "Master, why did you bring a child back? Where are the child's parents?"

"Dead." Long Lifei squeezed out two words, his eyes falling on her dirty little face, "Let someone prepare hot water for her to take a bath and change clothes."

"This..." Ru Bing looked embarrassed. Not everyone can live in the Presidential Palace. The young master just brought a child of unknown origin back and seemed to want her to stay. What should he do?

Long Lifei saw through her hesitation, and without saying a word, he carried the little girl and started to go upstairs.

"Master..."

Long Lifei didn't listen to her at all and walked straight to the stairs.

"Master..."

As soon as Long Pei entered the door, he heard Ru Bing's embarrassed voice, and his sharp eyes instantly fell on Long Lifei, who was stepping on the first step of the stairs, "Stop."

Long Lifei paused in his steps and looked back at him.

Ru Bing was relieved when she saw Long Pei back, "Sir, the young master brought back a child from outside and said that both parents are dead."

Long Pei's eyes fell on the little girl in his arms, his eagle eyes tightened suddenly, his expression darkened, and he squeezed out three words from his thin lips, "Throw it out."

The little girl in his arms was frightened by Long Pei's cold eyes. Her dirty little hands grabbed Long Lifei's snow-white collar, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Long Lifei hugged her and faced him with fearless eyes, "No."

He won't throw this little girl away.

"Throw it out." Long Pei took two steps inside, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth, his eyes staring at the dirty little thing in his arms, as if looking at an extremely dirty monster.

Disgusted, undisguised.

"No." Long Lifei refused again.

He deliberately brought Mingxi and Xiao Han to the same table to eat, and now he brought this dirty thing back. What on earth did he want to do?

The anger in his chest was pounding, and he tried his best to suppress it. His eyes became colder and colder, "I will say it one last time, throw her out."

"I refuse." Long Lifei replied without thinking, holding the little thing in his arms tightly with both hands, treating it as a treasure.

The anger in Long Pei's heart could no longer be suppressed, and he almost blurted out a sentence. In fact, he regretted it after saying it.

"The Presidential Palace is not a shelter for orphans with unknown origins, one after another. There must be a limit to showing sympathy for people with the same disease!"

There was uncontrollable sullenness and ridicule in the cold voice.

Long Lifei's face suddenly turned pale and drained of color. Even his arms holding the little girl were trembling, and he almost couldn't hold her steady.

He is an orphan brought back by Bo Yixin.

His identity was unknown and his origin was unknown. Even if no one had ever mentioned it in front of him, he knew it.

It was just the first time today that Long Pei said it, and it was like a blow to the head.

"——A Li!" Long Pei opened his mouth, with a cryptic look on his face, and hesitated to speak.

Before he finished speaking, Ru Bing's face suddenly changed, and his voice trembled: "Husband..."

Long Pei's upright figure was shaken, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Mingxi who had just walked out of the kitchen, with an extremely embarrassed and bloodless expression on his face.

She looked at him with cold eyes, as if looking at a stranger.

Obviously, she heard everything Long Pei said.

"Mingxi..."

"Ali, come here."

Gu Mingxi's cold voice interrupted him, and his eyes turned indifferently from his face and landed on Long Lifei's face.

The hands hanging by his sides were clenched tightly into fists, with looming veins, and he was trying his best to control his emotions.

Long Lifei hesitated for a second, then walked past Long Pei and walked to Gu Mingxi with the little girl in his arms.

"Let's go." Gu Mingxi glanced at the dirty little girl in his arms without any reaction.

The sound fell and he turned around to leave.

"Stop!" The cold voice echoed in the hall, with overwhelming force.

What he just said was just an outburst of anger. He had no intention of hurting A Li at all.

What is she going to do?

Gu Mingxi turned a deaf ear and didn't even pause for a second. When Long Pei saw that she didn't listen to him, he strode after her and grabbed her wrist, "Gu Mingxi!"

"Let go!" Gu Mingxi threw his hand away this time, with cold eyes, and stepped back to distance herself from him.

This subtle movement deeply stimulated Long Pei, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Want him to apologize to Ali?

How can you lose face!

"You're going too far!"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Gu Mingxi spoke first. No matter how much he disliked the little girl A Li brought back from outside, he should not say those words to hurt A Li!

Long Pei's face was sullen, and he grabbed a handful of cold air with his hand that was thrown away. He pursed his thin lips and swallowed the words back into his stomach when he glanced at the child in Long Lifei's arms.

"We all need time to calm down. A-Li and I will go back to the Haoting Garden." Gu Mingxi dropped these words, reached out and picked up the little girl in A-Li's arms and strode out.

Long Lifei followed her without saying a word.
