Chapter 781 - Li Bingpan

When Long Jingyuan heard this, his expression turned guilty. “If only I knew this earlier. I shouldn’t have stopped you from being with Fang Lilan. If I hadn’t, perhaps your family wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

Long Xuan shook his head. “Father, you had your own position to consider at the time. I was the one in the wrong. I clearly knew that you preferred to have a daughter-in-law who was of equal standing with our family, yet my heart fell for Lilan. Everyone has their own fate. No one can predict what will happen in the future.”

“My son, you’ve really grown up. You’re really mature now.” Long Jingyuan did not expect his son to not blame him and immediately began to tear up.

“Father, I’ve not only grown up. I’ve also grown old.” Long Xuan smiled bitterly. He was in his fifties now.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“In the eyes of your father, you will always be a child.” Long Jingyuan’s gaze was filled with love as he watched his son.

Sometime later, Fang Xinxin and Long Jingyuan accompanied Long Xuan to visit a graveyard in the suburbs.

Long Xuan remained before Fang Lilan’s gravestone for an entire afternoon. He was silent, his eyes filled with despair. He appeared as though he had nothing more to live for.

Fang Xinxin and Long Jingyuan remained by his side in worry.

“Initially, I thought that once I recovered and learned to walk again, I would go and look for you.” Long Xuan murmured.

Fang Xinxin was frightened by his words. “Dad, you promised me that you won’t leave us.”

“I previously thought your mother was missing, and wanted to go looking for her.” He sighed as he touched his wife’s gravestone. “Lilan, in this lifetime, I’ve let my father down. I’ve also let you and our children down. I can’t come to you immediately, but don’t worry. I won’t marry anyone else. I’ll watch our children carefully and love them properly in your stead.”

“Dad…” Fang Xinxin was deeply moved as she approached Long Xuan.

The three of them only returned to the Long family’s villa when it became dark.

For the past few days, Fang Xinxin had been accompanying her father and grandfather in the Long family villa. Even Bai Qinghao was temporarily staying in the Long home with her.

People were taken aback by Fang Xinxin’s status as the Long family’s only granddaughter.

Although the Long Group was second to the Bai family’s power, Fang Xinxin was not only the Long family’s successor but was also the director of the Jiao Yang Finance Group.

Her marriage to Bai Qinghao was initially believed to have mismatched statuses of the spouses. In an instant, however, their marriage became that of equals and was celebrated by the world.

Several days later, Fang Xinxin headed to the Guo Mao Building to shop. As her chauffeur, Tong Yu, was ill, Li Bingpan stepped forward and volunteered to drive her.

A BMW SUV then drove out of the Long family’s backyard.

Li Bingpan was focused on driving.

Fang Xinxin wore a large, pink bucket hat that was in trend these days. From the backseat, she glanced at Li Bingpan who was working both as a bodyguard and a chauffeur.

Back then, he had been bribed by her second sister, Fang Manxue. This person remained by their side despite not being heavily valued. She had guarded against him for more than two years.

Someone who had been bribed once would most definitely succumb to his desire again. He finally could not endure any longer and was making a move!

The car was just about five hundred metres away from the Long family’s villa when Fang Xinxin suddenly said, “Park the car by the side. Go to the nearby convenience store and purchase a packet of wet wipes for me.”

“I understand.” Li Bingpan did not suspect anything. He immediately alighted the car and did as she said.

After he returned from his trip, he tugged open the backseat’s door to hand the wet wipes to her.

Her bucket hat was pulled downwards and he could not see her face clearly.

As he had clearly watched Fang Xinxin board the car earlier, he did not suspect anything.

Li Bingpan returned to his seat and continued driving. He brought out a lighter and lit a cigarette.

As a chauffeur, he was not allowed to smoke while driving. However, this did not stop him. At most, he would toss the cigarette away after she reprimanded him.
