Xie Zhenting asked Miss Xu Lu on the phone whether she was going to see her.

He was very anxious. Lion City was so big, and Xu Lu didn't have a cell phone, so it would take a long time to find her.

Xie Zhenting was worried and afraid that something might happen to Xu Lu.

However, after a while, he received a call.

The caller was a traffic police officer who told him that Xu Lu was arrested for not having a driver's license.

She and her car were detained by police and she is receiving an education. He was asked to post bail.

Xie Zhenting felt his heart tighten again and asked, "How is she? Is she okay? Is there an accident?"

This is what Xie Zhenting fears most. Any momentary lapse of concentration could lead to a serious accident.

"Did you expect anything to happen? The car hit the guardrail, but she's OK."

Xie Zhenting breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great, as long as she's safe and sound. I'll be right there. Don't make things difficult for her."

Xie Zhenting saw Xu Lu sitting in the police station, and two tanned traffic policemen were giving her a lecture.

Xu Lu lowered her head - it was unclear what she was thinking. From behind, her thin figure was even more heartbreaking than usual.

Xie Zhenting walked over and put his jacket on her shoulders. "I'm the owner of the car. If you have any questions, just tell me."

Xu Lu was trembling.

"You know she doesn't have a driver's license, right? How dare you let her drive like this? Do you want her to lose her life or someone else's life?" the police officer said seriously.

"Especially as a public figure, how could you knowingly do such a thing? Such a beautiful face... If anything happens to her, it will be your loss and a huge loss for us viewers. Who doesn't like to see a pretty face?"

Xu Lu nodded. "I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

Xu Lu was very cooperative, and the police officer didn't know what else to say.

They simply read out the penalty: "The car will be impounded, points will be deducted, a fine will be imposed, and the guardrail repair costs will be paid."

Xie Zhenting nodded in agreement. "Okay."

Xie Zhenting issued a traffic violation ticket and paid the fine.

The officer added, "Considering this was your first offense, that's it. Next time it won't be so easy. You were lucky you hit the guardrail. If you had hit a pedestrian, it would have cost someone their life."

Xu Lu nodded again. "I'm sorry."

"This car will cost millions to repair, don't you feel bad?"

Xie Zhenting gritted his teeth. For some reason, he just wasn't used to others teaching Xu Lu a lesson.

He put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Payment has been made, points have been deducted, can we go now?"

“Yes, you can.”

Xie Zhenting walked out holding Xu Lu.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, “I have a lot of cars at home. Even if I let her use them as bumper cars and hit one every day, it’s none of your business.”

Traffic police...you're a jerk, you're rich, you're crazy!

After getting into the car, Xu Lu took off Xie Zhenting's jacket.

She scratched her head and said, "I'm sorry I hit your car. I'll repay you later."

When Xie Zhenting saw Xu Lu's melancholy expression and red and swollen eyes, his heart seemed to be pierced by a needle.

His mouth wrinkled into a wicked smile as he said, "Of course, you can keep me company tonight."

He wanted to comfort her, but that was probably the last thing Xu Lu wanted to see at a time like this.

It took Xu Lu a while to realize that Xie Zhenting used the word "accompany" instead of compensation.

She smiled. “Tonight isn’t a good time. Let’s choose a better time. Please take me home.”

"No, I can't take you back. Xu Rubai is waiting for you at the door."

Xie Zhenting stepped on the accelerator and drove towards his residence.

Xu Lu frowned. She couldn't go see Xu Rubai now. She was afraid she would lose control and kill him.

“If that’s the case, please send me to the crew.”

Xie Zhenting caressed Xu Lu’s face. “In your condition, do you think I would let you go to film? Making my woman work so hard and leaving her no time to rest is what a useless tramp does.”

Xu Lu moved her lips, wanting to express her objection, but she didn't know what to say.

Xie Zhenting adjusted the car's temperature. "If you're tired, take a nap."

Xu Lu closed her eyes.

Xie Zhenting drove gently, he knew Xu Lu was carrying a heavy burden.

She witnessed her mother's death. For an 8-year-old, the experience was deeply traumatic. It was something that could not be erased from her memory.

Tse Chun-ting also conducted further investigations.

He discovered that his mother's death was not as simple as it seemed. The direct cause of her death was Xu Rubai and Ouyang Xue, the despicable couple.

When the car stopped in front of the door, Xu Lu was already fast asleep.

Xie Zhenting gently carried her out of the car.

He happened to meet Mrs. Xie.

Xie Zhenting said softly: "Mom..."

Mrs. Xie glanced at Xu Lu. Seeing her limbs still intact, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest vigorously. "She's asleep. Bring her up quickly."

Xie Zhenting put Xu Lu on the bed and went downstairs.

Mrs. Xie asked, “Where did you find her?”

Xie Zhenting took a glass of water from Aunt Wu and took a sip. “Police station.”

Mrs. Xie opened her eyes and said in horror, “She was in a car accident.”

"Yes, the car hit the guardrail. The traffic police then investigated. This is also due to my lack of thinking. I forgot that she had just returned. It must not be enough time to get a driver's license. The traffic police detained her and the car, so I went to pay the fine and bail her out."

Mrs. Xie was angry. “As long as she’s safe and sound, it’s up to you.”

Xie Zhenting roared: "You are so generous. That car is worth 800 million."

Mrs. Xie shook her head. "Look at you, you're so stingy. No wonder you always get kicked out of bed. Who else should I kick? It's just that my jewelry is worth 1000 million. She hit your car worth 800 million, and you still owe her 200 million."

Xie Zhenting couldn't help laughing and replied, "Mom, you are very sensitive to numbers."

“Of course I’m good with numbers. Maths was my best subject when I was in school.”

"Mom, you really don't mind?"

Mrs. Xie said, "Are you short of a little money?"

Xie Zhenting was silent for a moment, then said: "I saw her crying today, and my heart ached. I was thinking, if it can make her smile, I am willing to do anything for her."

Mrs. Xie put down her phone, stared at him in surprise, and patted his head gently. "Oh, son, sometimes you should just follow your heart. Your emotions aren't that complicated. If you miss someone, take care of them. If you're jealous, that's love. Don't doubt it, and don't fight with yourself. If you're still stubborn, you'll regret it in a few years."

Xie Zhenting was stunned. He...fell in love with Xu Lu? Was that true?

Xie Zhenting's heartbeat quickened. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. His mind went blank.
