Chapter 16 Make Him Pay the Price!

Ling Fei did not appear to appreciate the embrace.

Doubts had been planted, she gently pulled away from Liu Ru Xue.

"He dared drug me, tried to... I'm going to sue! I will make sure he rots in jail, he must pay for what he did!"

Ling Fei's chest was heaving, her fists clenched in fury. Anger flashed in her beautiful eyes, and it wasn't feigned. She would never let Zhou Shao Hong go unpunished.

Liu Ru Xue joined her outrage, chimed in, then seemed to cool down.

She tightly held Ling Fei's hand.

Speaking in a wise and worldly tone, "Fei, Aunt Liu understands that you have been wronged, that bastard deserves to be punished. But in such a case, without evidence, we women suffer. Our Ling family is respectable, and you are your father's only daughter. If he denies everything, even accuses you instead, or says disrespectful things, our family's reputation is most important. We can't let it be tarnished by him."

Ling Fei's heart was as cold as ice.

She tried her best to maintain her composure, if she hadn't heard Zhou Shao Hong's conversation earlier, she might have believed that Liu Ru Xue was genuinely concerned for her.

Tch!

Thinking she would just let Zhou Shao Hong off the hook?

What a wishful thinking!

Liu Ru Xue added, "We're not letting him go just like that, we must be thoughtful about this. You're still young, there are things you may not understand. Let Aunt Liu handle this. We won't confront him directly."

After the persuasion, Ling Fei finally relented. As she watched Liu Ru Xue leave, Ling Fei picked up a delicate vase from the side and smashed it onto the ground.

Liu Ru Xue was just reaching the top of the staircase when she heard the commotion. She flashed a grin, dismissed her inquiring daughter with a few words, then returned to her room to make a phone call.

"She probably doesn't know about our relationship yet. Don't worry, do not make any impulsive moves, she can't escape our grasp."

Ling Fei would be turning twenty in a month. She's on summer break and will be starting her junior year when it ends.

She was studying at University A in City B, majoring in Finance, a renowned finance university in the country.

As the only daughter of the Ling family, two years ago when she was considering her college major, she did not hesitate to choose finance. She understood her responsibility.

Her father loved her.

She also wanted to share his responsibilities and burdens.

When she thought of the joy in her father's eyes when he found out she would major in finance at University A, Ling Fei felt it was worthwhile.

Ling Qing Ya was three years older than her, she had already graduated college. She also studied finance and even spent a year in the United States as an exchange student.

Considering her arrogant behavior, one would think she would stay a few more years abroad, but she returned right after graduation, then went straight to work in the Ling's family business.

After considering the events of last night, Ling Fei realized the truth.

Before her father's incident, no, when she was still young, her father had written a will.

The will remained untouched, according to it, Ling Fei would inherit fifty-one percent of the Ling's family business when she turned twenty.

But there was a catch, if something happened to her before she turned twenty, all the inheritance would be donated to social welfare foundations.

Ling Fei thought, if it wasn't for the will, her fate last night might not have just been drugged, but a fatal accident.

That night, Ling Fei lay awake, unable to fall asleep despite flipping over and over again with her eyes wide open.
