546 Grateful to Song Yan

Dedicating today's chapter to elorinczy! Hugs to you for your constant support!

When Meng Li heard the sound of gunshots, she was scared out of her wits, she stumbled back just as the people who lived in the other apartments started to come out of their apartments, they all looked at the happenings around the corridor and when they saw Meng Li, they could not help but ask several questions at once.

" Meng Li, what's going on? Did you leave the television switched on again?"

" What is going on?"

" Why are you out of the house and where did the sound of the gunshots come from?"

But soon their questions were answered when the two policemen appeared with a thug-like man who was being dragged out of Meng Li's apartment with a gunshot wound on his leg. The man had his hands cuffed in metal handcuffs and he had a mean expression on his face as he glared at Meng Li, he seemed to struggle a little when he got closer to her but then before he could get closer to Meng Li, he was pulled back by the policemen as the one on the left scolded him, " Don't go around making trouble or I will shoot you in the head this time."

Under the threat, the man stopped struggling and pursed his lips allowing the two policemen to drag him away. Seeing the man being dragged away Meng Li panicked and her entire complexion turned pale as her legs gave away and she slipped down the wall against which she was leaning.

She knew that the people around her were asking her what was going on but she did not say anything to them, it was because she could not say anything. She just sat where she was and panted heavily, she stared at her room blankly which was still lit up with warm light but there were a few drops of blood that were left behind by the man who was dragged away telling her what happened was not a dream.

Was she in a hurry to leave the apartment this morning? No, she has clearly locked the door or else the man would have not used other tools to open the lock of the door. But why would someone try to kill her? She has never even seen this man before!

Her gaze shifted to the blood that was dripped on the floor and remembered the long knife that one of the policemen was holding, her entire body shivered. If she hadn't listened to what the woman told her and gone inside the apartment, then that man who was hiding in her apartment …. He would have killed her!

Just the very thought was enough to scare her out of her wits, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat and her heart was still pounding with the remnant of fear that she felt when she heard the gunshots. She almost lost her life for the sake of saving money! It was all right if she died, she was tired of living this life as well where she has to worry about multiple things and even earn money for this and that while spending the days on instant noodles. But her mother was still in the hospital! If she died then her old mother will be kicked out of the hospital and she will die without a grave!

If she died tonight then surely her mother would have gotten implicated as well.

She in her daze recalled the words of the rich woman, back then she was annoyed that the woman was making use of her poor condition to earn some quick buck. But now she was glad that she listened to the woman, deep in her heart she was feeling really grateful towards the woman who has warned her, otherwise, she would have lost her life tonight.

As she thought about the woman who has helped her and how she has scolded her, she wished she could slap her face repeatedly. Instead of thanking the woman, she has actually acted so arrogantly in front of her but at the same time, she was glad that she met with a genuine master. If she was to see the woman ever again in her life then she will definitely thank the woman and ask her for her number. There was no way she was going to treat what that woman tell her as a joke anymore.

After Song Yan calmed Fu Yu Sheng down, the two of them returned home where Fu Chen was waiting for his mother, he was sitting in the lap of his great-grandfather who was trying to make him understand that there was no need for him to worry but Fu Chen who was not happy about not seeing his mother when he woke up in the morning was not willing to listen to his great grandfather.

" Come on Chen Chen, eat your dinner. Your mother will be coming back home at any time," Old master Fu coaxed his precious great-grandson with a spoon of fried rice in his hand, a shiny shrimp shining at the top of the glistening rice, if there was another kid who was a bit less stubborn than Fu Chen, he would have succumbed to the temptation but Fu Chen did not succumb.

He gulped hard and then turned his head to the side before saying unhappily, " I am going to wait for mommy——" he paused when he saw Song Yan walking inside the house, as soon as he saw his mother, the ice that was covering his face melted away. The unhappy pout was replaced with a gentle smile as Fu Chen hopped off his great-grandfather's lap and then rushed to Song Yan. " Mom! Where were you? I missed you so much."

" Sometimes try to miss your father as well," Fu Yu Sheng muttered from the side as Song Yan crouched down to pick him up from the floor, and as for what Fu Yu Sheng said, Fu Chen ignored him like he has been ignoring Fu Yu Shen who was trying to butter him up ever since he came back from the hospital.  He turned to glance at his father with a blank look on his face before making a face and then he turned to look at his mother with a smile blossoming on his face as he hugged her neck and said, " I missed you a lot mom! Don't leave me alone."

Fu Yu Sheng:  Look at this, for father he has nothing but for his mother he is acting like a coquettish little thing!
