ABT Chapter 0042: Tons of Damage

Zhou Qingyu had wanted to call Li Fanfuyu for a long time. Ever since she realized she had misunderstood him after he stood up for her against Ha Tianwang on set, she wanted to apologize. But because her words that day were too harsh, she didn't have the courage to do it immediately. Later, with the fashion show and leaving Tiancheng, she didn't contact him again.

She debuted too early and interacted with many people, but the circle was too complex. Over time, she became unwilling to form deep relationships with others. So, she always kept the matter of misunderstanding Li Fanfuyu, who helped her without asking for anything in return, in her mind.

Now, with the national promotion of "High-Speed Crisis" underway, Zhou Qingyu returned to Tiancheng with the crew. As soon as the event ended, she made up her mind to contact Li Fanfuyu.

When she received the inexplicable invitation from Li's mother and Li Fanfuyu's incoherent explanation, she found it quite interesting.

She grew up in a single-parent family, and her mother was very strict with her. To nurture her into talent, her mother tried every means but neglected the warmth of family. So, after hearing Li Fanfuyu's explanation, Zhou Qingyu felt a faint longing. Was this chaotic and lively atmosphere what a real family was like?

Almost as if she were possessed, she agreed.

Half an hour later, Li Fanfuyu received her call.

"Come downstairs and pick me up."

Li Fanfuyu sighed and hurried downstairs in slippers.

Zhou Qingyu stood elegantly at the entrance of the community, holding several delicate handbags. When she saw Li Fanfuyu approaching, she waved gently.

"You coming here is a big help to me. What's with all the stuff?" Li Fanfuyu asked awkwardly when he saw the pile of items in her hands.

For Li Fanfuyu, Zhou Qingyu's arrival was as moving as anything could be. To put it this way, he was almost ready to offer himself—so long as Zhou Qingyu was willing.

Cough cough.

Zhou Qingyu smiled and handed him the items. "They're gifts from sponsors, and I don't need them. Consider it a thank you for standing up for me last time. I've been meaning to apologize to you for the misunderstanding before."

Leading the way, Li Fanfuyu exclaimed, "There's no blame on you. If it were me, I'd think the same."

Zhou Qingyu smiled and followed Li Fanfuyu into the house.

Li's mother had been waiting for a long time. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was seething with anger inside. If she couldn't vent her anger today, she might develop depression.

Watching the lazy old Fang, she felt annoyed. Damn it, you've been boasting about your son for two years now. Even if my little Fan has won an award in Germany, you still can't contain yourself. Are you trying to dominate the entire third floor?

Seeing her son losing ground, she resorted to emotional issues. Bah! I'm not afraid of you! I can even catch you myself!

This bitch, today I'm determined to expose her!

Seeing Li Fanfuyu bringing a girl home, she quickly took out a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them over with a smile.

"Come in, come in! Oh my!"

When Zhou Qingyu entered the house and exchanged greetings with her, she was shocked.

My goodness, if my son marries such a wife, I won't even play mahjong anymore. I'll be guarding my son every day!

Too beautiful! Beautiful enough to make people worry!

On the other side, Auntie Fang also put down the half-eaten cucumber in her hand and chewed it as she came over to watch the excitement.

She had observed the interaction between Li's mother and Li Fanfuyu. As someone who had fought with superiors, gatekeepers, fought with her husband, and fought with mistresses, she couldn't be fooled by such tricks, could she?

"Just find someone to pretend for now. Let me expose you guys and slap you in the face!"

But when she stood behind Li's mother and saw Zhou Qingyu, she choked on a cucumber and coughed for a long time, only catching her breath under Li's mother's relentless pounding.

"Where did this girl come from? This appearance, this figure, is she even human?"

Zhou Qingyu took the slippers from Li's mother and gently slipped her delicate feet, wrapped in stockings, into them before taking the items from Li Fanfuyu's hands.

Smiling, she said, "Hello, Auntie, I'm a friend of Xiao Fan. You can call me Qingyu. It's our first meeting, and I'm not sure what you like, so I brought a little something for you. Please don't mind."

Li's mother stared at her without blinking, took the handbag and placed it aside, then pulled her to the sofa.

Auntie Fang barely managed to contain her shock. When she saw the handbags, she sprayed out the cucumber she had just swallowed.

LV, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Burberry!!!

She took a peek inside and was amazed! They were all unpackaged, and that Burberry scarf looked exactly like the one sold in Century Tower! Last month, her wealthy sister had bought one, and she cherished it like her own daughter, not even allowing her to touch it. She searched all over Taobao, but there wasn't even one A-grade replica available because it was a new product!

If this was real, just this scarf alone would be worth tens of thousands!

Where did this dumbfounded Li Fanfuyu encounter such a girl? She's rich and beautiful, what does my son say? Right, a goddess!

But Li's mother wasn't interested in examining the gifts. She was completely focused on Zhou Qingyu, not even bothering to taunt Auntie Fang.

"Oh my, where are you from, girl? What kind of place can produce someone like you? Tell Auntie, I want to go there too."

Zhou Qingyu smiled, "Actually, my hometown is in Tiancheng, but my parents divorced when I was very young, and I went to the United States with my mother."

Li's mother sympathetically stroked her hand, "Poor child, are you living in China by yourself now?"

Zhou Qingyu had never been touched like this before. Although she felt Li's mother was a bit too enthusiastic, she vaguely realized that she enjoyed this feeling.

Since she was seven or eight years old, she had been forced by her mother to study dance and music, rain or shine, summer or winter. Even when she returned home, her mother never relaxed. For Zhou Qingyu, home was just another place to study.

How nice would it be to have such a caring mother?

Feeling a bit melancholic, she replied, "Yes, my career didn't have much development in the United States, so I've been in Europe these past few years. I only returned to China this year."

Seeing her furrow her brows, Li's mother hugged her shoulder sympathetically, "You're so young, yet you've been through so much. You're much stronger than Xiao Yu. This little brat just knows how to loaf around all day." She glanced fiercely at Li Fanfuyu, clearly implying that such a good girl should have been brought home earlier.

Li Fanfuyu shrugged helplessly. Was it my fault?

Seeing Li's mother eager to become a matchmaker, Li Fanfuyu quickly warned her with his eyes; don't get too involved, you don't even know what's going on yet!

The mother and daughter were completely unaware of Auntie Fang in the kitchen.

The blow came too suddenly, and this god-like twist had caused her tons of damage. Having already suffered internal injuries, she slinked out of the door, clutching her chest, and went home.
