Birth of a Beauty novel Chapter 96

The, quick-witted, bodyguard beside Lin Xueqing, wanted to block the hand to protect her but midway someone pushed him away.

He peered at Lin Xeuqing with confusion as She deliberately took the slap.

*Silence*

Lin Chengwei froze. He was so enraged that he slapped his own daughter without even thinking twice. Wang Shuwa was more than contented by the show.

" Qingqing I-" Lin Chengwei wanted to apologize but Lin Xueqing suddenly chuckled.

Slowly Her chuckle burst out into laughter. Her laughter echoed in the silent living room. Everyone looked at her totally puzzled. Some maids even thought she was possessed.

The corner of her eyes were teary, no one knew if it was because she was laughing like crazy or she was crying. She touched her red swollen cheek as she looked at her father.

" Mr.Lin I am tired. I will get going then." Lin Xueqing bowed and turned around to leave.

Everyone's eye widen as it was gonna pop out when they heard Lin Xeuqing calling him"Mr.Lin". The most stunned was the one who was called that, Lin Chengwei.

This wasn't the first time he hit or scolded her, even if she insulted him, left home for months, she still addressed him "father", but this time he realized he had crossed the limit.

He hastily swayed his hand to grab her hand "Listen, Qingqin-"

But her bodyguard stopped him before remarking " Chairman, It would be good if you just let her go." He bowed respectfully, then following behind Lin Xueqing.

After both of them left, Lin Chengwei legs gave away, he just sat there looking at the direction where they left.

Wang Shuwa also squatted down beside him firmly patting his back while her mind was filled with evil thoughts ' I wanted to see a huge dispute between them. But that bit*ch Lin Xueqing, Why would she leave just like that, without saying anything? But Calling him by his name is quite an achievement. I should think of other more ways to part these two.'

Outside Lin Mansion :

The bodyguard was going to open the car door for Lin Xueqing, but her abrupt order made him pause.

" I need to head somewhere else, so, I will take the car. You can call over people from there to pick you up."

The bodyguard nodded his head as he stepped back. "Yes, Boss."

After getting inside the car, Lin Xueqing was about to drive away but the bodyguard's next words made her stop.

" Xiao qing, Are you okay?"

She glanced at him as she spoke " Mr. Zhu, You are at work. Thus, Better call me Boss or Miss. " This time, Her usual cold voice contained some warmth in it.

" You know my shift is over, I am not at work anymore. Dear, I am concerned. I have seen you grow up to be this strong and independent. Other girls at your age enjoy their lives to their fullest, spending money on makeup, dresses or any other luxury but.."

"You spent your whole time & money on hiring and training people to work for you cause you don't trust your dad. This made you so cold even to yourself. My point is You should give people chance to show concerns for you, Not everyone is evil.."

" Sometimes You should let yourself lean on others, try to trust them and open up a little. Stop hurting yourself, it hurts to see you like this."

*Silence*

Lin Xueqing's face was expressionless so it was impossible to guess what she might be thinking.

After a while, She eventually replied "Mr.Zhu, Thank you for your worrying about me. I am really fine. When life hits you hard, A mere slap feels nothing. Let's drop this topic."

"And You are aware of the fact that you are the only man whom I can trust beside 'him'. So, I made you the leader. I also know that you inform every events related to me and my dad to 'him'. But since you work for me now, I order you not to disclose any events that happened today to 'him'."

"But-" Mr.Zhu hesitated.

"Not order, Treat is as a request. Bye." Then she sped off making usually composed Mr.Zhu stunned.

"*Sigh* I am so tired and hungry. What should I eat today?" Quan Long spoke as he opened the refrigerator.

" Huh? There is nothing here. Tsk, I forgot I was supposed to buy grocery after school. What should i do? I guess I should just sleep empty stomach for today" Quan Long sighed.

*Growl*

But his stomach didn't wanted to stay empty and was persistently reminding him that he should eat something otherwise it will growl so loud that will wake up the neighbours.

Thus, Quan Long ended up coming to the convenience store. But as he was about to head inside, His phone rang.

It was from unknown id. He picked the call "Hello?"

But there was no response from the other side making Quan Long frown. He looked at the number, and confirmed it was unknown number before inquiring " Hello? Who is this?"

There was still no answer. Thinking it was wrong number, Quan Long decided to end the call. But a familiar cold voice was heard from the end of the call.

" I am Lin Xueqing. Can you meet me at the park near your house right now?"
