Li Qingling's questioning made Nie Zhenyuan and Ke Min's expressions turn somewhat unpleasant.

In desperation, Nie Zhenyuan disregarded his pride and humbly pleaded, "Miss Ling'er, you have really misunderstood us. Please return Nie Yu to us so that my wife and I can take him to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, Miss Ling'er, Yu'er's injury can't be delayed any longer, or it will lead to someone's death!" Ke Min slapped her thighs repeatedly in a panic, her anxious and frightened appearance quite convincing. Then she roared at the bodyguards beside her, shouting, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take the young master to the hospital!"

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards immediately surrounded them.

"Let's see who dares to move!" Li Qingling's small body suddenly erupted with astonishing power, her sharp voice filled with anger, intimidating everyone present.

The bodyguards were too frightened to approach, and even Nie Zhenyuan and his wife, who were standing opposite her, were startled.

"I said, I'm taking Nie Yu away from here today, and nobody can stop me! Uncle Nie, even if you are Nie Yu's father, the way you've treated him today, even if we call the police, it's still your fault! From today onwards, I will protect Nie Yu, and you can forget about bullying him again!"

Li Qingling stood in the crowd, her hands clenched into fists, her small body trembling slightly with excitement. But there was no fear or apprehension in her eyes, only the determination to become a giant and protect those she wanted to protect.

Ke Min was on the verge of tears, sobbing in a voice only she and Nie Zhenyuan could hear, "Husband! What should we do now?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?" Nie Zhenyuan trembled with anger, wanting to use force several times, but he didn't have the courage.

No matter what, they absolutely cannot let Nie Yu be taken away today, otherwise if this guy wakes up and spreads rumors outside, they're doomed.

But the person who forcibly took him away was Li Qingling.

A seven-year-old kid isn't scary in itself. If it were anyone else, he probably would have already made a move. But behind Li Qingling are the entire Li family, the Rong family, and the Fu family. She's definitely a little princess from a wealthy family in the capital!

As one of the four major families in the capital, if the Nie family offends any one of them, they can forget about continuing to live in the capital.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked and the atmosphere was extremely tense, Nie Yu, who was lying in Mo Feng's arms, slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Li Qingling, I won't go with you. Go back."

Li Qingling turned around in surprise, repeatedly confirming whether those words really came from Nie Yu's mouth.

"After how they treated you, do you still want to stay here?"

Nie Yu struggled to get out of Mo Feng's arms and stood up with her legs weak. "This is my home. I'm not going anywhere else."

Mo Feng was also bewildered by Nie Yu's attitude and couldn't help but complain, "Kid, they've tortured you like this, and you still choose to stay? Do you want to die?"

Nie Yu glanced at him, ignoring him, and turned to look at Li Qingling, saying indifferently, "Li Qingling, first of all, thank you for your concern, secondly, I hope you can leave my house."

Originally worried that Nie Yu would betray them upon waking, Nie Zhenyuan and his wife were both surprised and delighted upon hearing this. They quickly added fuel to the fire, saying, "Miss Ling'er, did you hear that? Yu'er himself said that he doesn't want to go with you!"

Li Qingling's eyes, which held the stars, misted over. She glared at Nie Yu, annoyed, and asked again, "You really don't want to come with me?"

"I don't want to."

"Hey, you brat!" Mo Feng was furious at his unhesitating answer and was about to step forward to teach him a lesson when Li Qingling immediately stopped him, "Uncle Mo Feng, let's go."

"Young Miss?" Mo Feng was puzzled.

If it weren't for the young lady, Nie Yu would probably have died in that snake pit tonight. We went through so much trouble to rescue him, and instead of being grateful, he wanted to follow his abusive parents and drive us away. What kind of outrageous behavior is this?

“Some people think we’re meddling, so we’d better leave as soon as possible.” Li Qingling looked at Nie Yu with complicated emotions, then turned and left angrily.

Mo Feng glanced at the inactive Nie Yu and eventually left the Nie family with his men.

Looking at the girl's lonely and sad back, Nie Yu felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Actually, he wasn't completely unconscious just now; he still retained a sliver of consciousness. He heard all the efforts Li Qingling had made to protect him, but it was precisely at times like this that he couldn't easily leave the Nie family.

He still has his own things to do. After enduring so many years of hardship, he would never give up on his plans so easily.

......

After returning home, Li Qingling was sullen for several days. No matter how Li Zhanting and Gu Momo tried to coax her, she would run back to her room as soon as school was over, lock herself in her bedroom, and not even eat dinner.

Finally, the weekend arrived, and they didn't have to go to school. Li Zixiao and Gu Jingxing also returned home.

"Ling'er, Mommy said you haven't been out to play for several days. Your brothers are finally back, so let's take you to the amusement park!" Gu Jingxing stood outside the bedroom door, knocking on it patiently.

Li Qingling huddled in the blankets, trying to cover her head and not want to talk to anyone, but Gu Jingxing wouldn't give up. He kept saying he'd take her to the amusement park, then he'd say he'd take her out for a nice meal. After a few rounds of this, Li Qingling finally opened the door.
