Chapter 56: Would Fei Jing's Attempt to Suppress Her Succeed?

"Tiantian, do not leave me, do not leave me!"

Ah, ah, ah—

Lu Tian woke up in an unfamiliar environment, screaming.

The bedroom was very dark, with only a tiny sliver of light managing to filter through the curtains.

She sat up on the bed and touched her forehead. Her fever had probably subsided, and the physical discomfort had eased considerably.

"Wow~ Mommy, Mommy, you're awake? That's wonderful, Mommy is awake~"

Li Tuanzi rushed onto the bed like a gust of wind, diving straight into her arms.

The little milk bun of a child burrowed back and forth.

Her body carried a soft, sweet fragrance. Taking a deep breath made one instantly relax from the inside out.

Lu Tian firmly held the little girl and asked, "Why am I here? Where is your dad?"

Like a magician, the little dumpling produced a large bag of pan-fried buns.

She blinked her big, innocent eyes and acted cute. "Mommy, eat quickly. Grandpa downstairs makes these pan-fried buns, and they are super, super delicious~"

"No, tell me first, your dad, he..."

"Mommy, Dad said he went on a day trip to a place called a detention center, and that bad guy has to go too," Li Tuanzi rambled with a straight face.

Half an hour later.

Lu Tian bailed Li Yanchen out of the police station after he was arrested for provoking a disturbance.

Then she looked at Fei Jing, who was standing beside Lu Youyou.

He wasn't wearing his rimless glasses, and the dark circles under his eyes were exposed to full view.

The stubble on his chin was messy and dirty, his face bore multiple bruises, and his expensive tailored suit was already torn to shreds.

"Wuwuwu~ Brother-in-law, what happened to you?

"Elder sister, you lack self-discipline, you had an affair during your marriage, and you wronged brother-in-law. How could you let a male mistress bully people like this?"

The young girl wailed loudly.

Yet Fei Jing stared fixedly at Lu Tian, who only cared about Li Yanchen, pleading slightly, "Tiantian, it was just me losing control of my emotions last night. Please forgive me, okay?"

"I'm sorry, President Fei. I will pursue your personal assault on me to the very end. Goodbye."

In truth, it was just an extra piece of leverage.

Otherwise, knowing what she did about this toxic man, he would have clung stubbornly to this matter and hounded Li Yanchen to death.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital. Tuanzi is still waiting outside." Lu Tian carefully supported Li Yanchen, who wasn't actually injured much, and left like a couple of many years.

Fei Jing tried to chase after them.

Lu Youyou hurriedly stopped him. "Darling, haven't you figured it out yet? Sister was just intentionally acting out a scene with that pretty boy Li Yanchen to make you angry."

"What?"

The man was eager to hear more.

Playing right into his desires, the young girl began fabricating a story.

The Rolls-Royce drove away from the police station.

***

However, Lu Youyou did not leave with them.

She stood on the pavement, watching the taillights disappear at the intersection.

Her fair, delicate hand pressed hard against her chest.

"Lu Tian, I really didn't expect Fei Jing to love you so much that he'd want to drag you down with him to the grave.

"Very well, then perhaps I should be merciful and send you both on your final journey together!"

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

An old-fashioned mobile phone rang.

Caller ID: Mother-in-law.

"Hello, Mom. Yes, I know today is A-Hao's death anniversary. You and Dad wait for me for a moment, I'll be right over.

"Alright, alright, then I'll stop by the supermarket on the way to buy some pork ribs. A-Hao loved the sweet and sour ribs I made the most."

A passerby walked past.

Glancing at Lu Youyou, who was on the phone with a radiant, sunny expression, they whispered to their friend, "This girl looks so happy with her boyfriend, and she looks so neat and clean too."

"When you meet the right person, there's definitely no pressure or worries. Look at how cozy her little life is, truly wonderful!"

Jinggang Central Hospital.

Lu Tian dumped Li Yanchen, who had just finished his medical examination, right on the street. "Captain Li, installing tracking software on someone else's phone without permission is illegal, understand?"

"Mm."

He was actually still able to smile.

The little dumpling held her mother's hand and rolled her eyes. "Daddy is so stupid, how embarrassing!"

"So, starting today, if you don't want to go to prison, stay away from me. I really hate you!"

With that, she forcefully pulled her hand away from Li Yanchen's grasp and hailed a cab to leave.

In the car, she lingeringly inhaled the scent on the hand Tuanzi had touched, murmuring to herself, "Even the smell on her is the same. Nannan, is that you back?"

Her heart was pulled with agonizing force.

On the roadside, Li Tuanzi stamped her foot on her old man's shoe, furious to the point of despair at his weakness.

She wailed, "Wuwuwu, Li Yanchen, if you don't coax my mommy back, I... I'll make you go bankrupt and become a pauper."

"If I really become poor, would she want to support me?"

"..."

"You can give it a try."

"..." The little child was left entirely speechless.

Lu Tian returned to her apartment.

To participate in the academic symposium a week later, she needed to set up a conceptual model laboratory in the shortest possible time.

This required a vast network of industry resources.

"I'm sorry, Tiantian, President Fei has imposed restrictions on my end. I really can't help you; you should look for someone else."

"Tiantian, couples fight, but don't take it too seriously. Swallow your pride and apologize to your husband. President Fei loves you so much, he will understand."

"No, no, Lu Tian, don't you have any self-awareness of your current reputation? Stop bothering me again."

Going through her entire contact list yielded nothing but humiliation or advice to beg Fei Jing.

Frustrated, she buried her face in her hands and collapsed onto the living room sofa.

Having gone without food or sleep for over twenty hours, her mind was a complete mess.

In the corner of her vision, the red crosses on her memo list kept multiplying...

"Lu Tian, hold on. You cannot lose, absolutely not!"

Yet after two busy days, even Director Liu had tried pulling strings for her.

The outcome was still disappointing!

"Tiantian, Fei Jing asked me to pass along a message. He doesn't expect you to return immediately, it's just dinner. Would you... consider agreeing?"

Director Liu probed tentatively.

Lu Tian lowered her gaze and remained silent.

The old man sighed, "Lu Youyou's laboratory has already been established, backed by the Fei Group. Her team members are all top-tier industry elites. With things like this, even Zhao Yinan will find it hard to protect you."

"Alright. Tell Fei Jing I agree to have dinner with him."

The location was unexpectedly set right outside the gates of their high school.

The moment she stepped out of the taxi, she saw that the impeccably swept pedestrian walkway was covered with pink rose petals, forming a series of arrows guiding the way.

Following the arrows, she walked to the pine tree by the playground.

A 3D projection lit up.

The holographic figure of Fei Jing stood under a spotlight, speaking with deep affection: "Wife, when we first met, you were the study commissioner coming to catch me playing truant."

That year, Lu Tian had pressed Fei Jing against the trunk of the pine tree and dealt him two slaps across the face.

She knocked the school tyrant, whom everyone feared, completely dizzy.

The arrows continued forward, passing through the plastic running track and entering the teaching building.

At the end of the first-floor corridor, right outside the men's restroom.

"Tiantian, I was smoking, and you poured a bucket of cold water right over me. Come to think of it, that was when I fell in love with an honor student even crazier than I was."

That was simply Lu Tian's character.

She preferred using more extreme methods to solve extreme problems that had no other solution.

Turning the corner to the third floor.

Outside the classroom door, two or three school administrators nervously looked around in panic.

The moment they saw the female protagonist arrive, the expressions on their faces could genuinely be described as "kaleidoscopic."

One of them cried out in shock, "Fei... Mrs. Fei? Didn't President Fei make an appointment with you for tomorrow? Why did you come today?"

Tomorrow?

The message she had received clearly stated today!
