I have been

Ding Donghai had never seen so much money before. He said in disbelief, "You didn't lie to me?"

Kong Lingyu took a few steps forward and said, "I don't need to lie to you."

"Give me your bank card number and I will transfer the money to you now." Kong Lingyu did not look happy in front of Ding Donghai. He raised his chin to signal Ding Donghai, as if five hundred thousand was nothing.

Ding Donghai reported his bank card number to Kong Lingyu with some doubt. A group of people looked at them nervously. Xu Hangran nervously grabbed Zhou Chao's hand and said, "What if I give him the money and he still...what about Lingling?"

"It shouldn't be." Zhou Chao also looked downstairs nervously with a serious expression.

Not long after, Ding Donghai received a text message on his mobile phone saying that the money had arrived.

Ding Donghai grabbed Ding Ling and threatened everyone not to come near. With trembling hands, he pulled out his phone. When he saw the incoming payment, his bloodshot eyes were filled with greed. Five hundred thousand! That was five hundred thousand he couldn't earn in his entire life working at the soap factory.

Greed surged from the bottom of his heart, but he changed his mind and thought, since this person could easily give him 500,000, it means that this person is not short of money. Ding Donghai's facial muscles trembled with excitement, and his eyes turned around, looking at Kong Lingyu, grinning and saying, "Boss, you are generous, but..."

Changing the subject, he stroked Ding Ling's messy hair and said in a distressed tone, "If I take the girl with me, you'll need money for her food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Five hundred thousand is probably not enough."

He rubbed his fingers together to indicate that he didn't have enough money.

Everyone present was shocked by Ding Donghai's shamelessness.

Fang Huai, who usually keeps his emotions secret, blushed crimson. He had never seen such a shameless person before. Such a person was unfit to be a father!

Kong Lingyu noticed Fang Huai's excitement, took Fang Huai's hand, gently pried open Fang Huai's clenched fist, held the bloody fingertips in his palm, tilted his head slightly and said, "I'll take care of everything."

"Want money?" Kong Lingyu looked at Ding Donghai with a cold and sharp gaze. The contempt that flashed across his eyes was not noticed by others, but it was clearly seen by Fang Huai.

Kong Lingyu raised his chin, his eyes moving from Ding Donghai's ferocious face to the dropped bank card, and raised his chin arrogantly: "Isn't the money there?"

Ding Donghai looked back and forth between Kong Lingyu and the bank card with greedy eyes. Finally, he weighed the sharp knife in his hand, and used his fingers to firmly grasp the handle. The excitement brought by the alcohol strengthened his usually timid courage.

While holding the thin Lingling, he waved his knife to signal everyone to move aside and threatened them not to come forward.

Ding Ling was lifted up by him, and her upper body was already sent out of the window, but Ding Donghai didn't care at all. It was as if the one in his hands was not his daughter, but a useless chick.

He stretched his legs to reach for the bank card, his eyes narrowed into slits, occasionally looking up to pay attention to other people's movements. Just as his toes were about to touch the corner of the bank card, Ding Donghai's body twitched violently and he subconsciously let go.

"Brother, save me!"

"Lingling!"

The little girl was thrown out of the window as she screamed in despair, "Ah!"

"Ah!" A cry of pain and a scream sounded at the same time!

Wang Ting, who had been staying with Ding Ling, suddenly felt dizzy and passed out. The director and the dean immediately gave her emergency treatment.

The scene was in chaos, and Xu Hangran felt his legs weaken. He leaned against the wall and slowly sat down on the ground, "It will be fine!"

Ding Ling fell down, and this was the sixth floor! Thinking of the girl's thin body falling like a falling bird, some emotionally sensitive people could no longer hold back their tears. Wang Ting woke up dimly, blaming herself and crying, "If I hadn't gone to get food, Lingling wouldn't have been in trouble!"

Xu Hangran quickly comforted the emotionally distraught Wang Ting and ran downstairs: "The police have laid a safety mat downstairs. Ding Ling will be fine!"

Although she said this, her hands holding Wang Ting were also shaking.

A little girl fell from the sixth floor. Even with a safety mat, there was no guarantee that she would not be injured. Moreover, Ding Ling was severely malnourished and so young. She had been in the hospital for so long but no family member cared about her. There was only Teacher Fang and... Doctor Fang!

Xu Hangran suddenly heard the girl crying and the man groaning in pain.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the window. Fang Huai, who was usually calm and composed, had his upper body leaning out of the window, his waist stuck heavily on the hard edge, his back muscles tense like a fully-stringed bow, and his other hand tightly clinging to the edge of the window.

The beautiful and well-proportioned hands rubbed the uneven wall with such force that it caused bleeding.

"Doctor Fang!"

"Help!"

Ding Ling did not fall. At the critical moment, Kong Lingyu rushed forward and kicked Ding Donghai, who was holding a knife, over. The scream of pain came from Ding Donghai, while Fang Huai rushed to the window and grabbed Ding Ling's hand tightly.

He didn't know where his explosive power came from. The only thought in his mind was: Lingling must not get into trouble.

"Don't be afraid, Lingling, don't be afraid, brother is here."

Fang Huai's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Ding Ling looked at Fang Huai fearfully, "Brother, I'm scared."

"Come, hold on to your brother's hand, and I'll take you up there. Don't be afraid, Lingling."

With the help of everyone, Fang Huai successfully pulled Ding Ling up. After being rescued, Ding Ling hugged Fang Huai's neck and burst into tears. The girl's cry, feeling wronged and sad, made Fang Huai's heart ache. He tentatively reached out and hugged the girl, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "It's okay, Ding Ling, you're great."

"Lingling is very brave."

The girl choked up and asked, "Did Lingling do something wrong? Why doesn't my mother want me anymore, and why doesn't my father love me?"

The emotions that had been pent up for a long time suddenly erupted at this moment. Ding Ling said aggrievedly: "Why don't they love me? Is it Lingling's fault? Mom has a new family, Dad has a younger brother, and Lingling has nothing. Did I do something wrong? Why don't they want me?"

Fang Huai's hand was burning with pain, his right hand was pulled. He slowly withdrew his scratched hand.

He hid his bleeding left hand in his sleeve, raised his right hand with great effort and touched Ding Ling, "It's not your fault."

"A lot of people love Lingling. Lingling did nothing wrong."

"Lingling is right."

Fang Huai's voice was soft and gentle, and his tone was affirmative. He said to Ding Ling seriously, "Lingling, that's right."

Kong Lingyu squatted beside Fang Huai and looked at him with fondness. He seemed to see Fang Huai as a child, the Fang Huai who almost died due to allergies.

At that time, Fang Huai had a younger brother, her adoptive mother suffered from postpartum depression, and her adoptive father could not stand his wife's hysteria and would rather work overtime than go home. Her adoptive mother was very repulsive to Fang Huai, and would become emotional when she saw him, even thinking that Fang Huai would hurt Fang He Nian. At that time, Fang Huai was similar to Ding Ling.

He also lay in the corner, covered in wounds, asking himself over and over again: Did I do something wrong? Why does my mother hate me so much, and why does my grandmother hate me so much?

Fang Huai in the present is telling Ding Ling and his past self: "You are not wrong."

"Go to hell!" Ding Donghai, who was ignored by everyone, lay on the ground, holding the bank card tightly. He hurriedly stuffed the bank card into the inside pocket of his clothes, and his hands kept groping on the ground. When he held the sharp knife, he seemed to have lost his mind and was gasping for breath.

The resentment and unwillingness accumulated in his chest turned into anger. Even if he killed or sold his daughter, no one else could do anything about it!

In the past, he might have picked up the bank card and ran away, but alcohol had overwhelmed his mind and he pushed away the people around him and stabbed Fang Huai in the middle, "Go to hell!"

His movements were so fast that no one had time to react. He rushed out suddenly. Fang Huai immediately covered Ding Ling's eyes and held her in his arms. Screams and cries came one after another, and Fang Huai also closed his eyes.

The hot breath sprayed on Fang Huai's face, but the expected pain did not come. Fang Huai opened his eyes and saw Kong Lingyu protecting him and Ding Ling under him. His lips were pale and his left waist was still bleeding.

Fang Huai stared at Kong Lingyu's face in a daze, he didn't even realize that he was crying.

Ding Donghai was surrounded by a group of people, and someone took advantage of the situation to beat up this bastard.

Tears rolled down from Fang Huai's eyes and landed on Kong Lingyu's palm. Kong Lingyu held Fang Huai's tears, bent his fingers and gently wiped away Fang Huai's tears, coaxing the awkward Fang Huai like he did when they were children.

Pulling the corners of his mouth, he said in a doting tone, "Don't be afraid, Mai Mai, I'm here."

Fang Huai's vision blurred. He could only see Kong Lingyu's face overlapping with the face of Kong Lingyu when he was a child. The only thing that remained unchanged was that no matter which Kong Lingyu they were, they both clumsily and gently coaxed him, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Kong Lingyu." Fang Huai's voice couldn't stop trembling, and there was a hint of crying in it.

"Maimai, I'm here."

Kong Lingyu's lips turned pale due to blood loss, but he slowly brushed away the loose hair on Fang Huai's forehead, leaned over to hug Fang Huai, and gently patted Fang Huai's tense back, "Don't be afraid."

Fang Huai listened to the familiar words of comfort, tears streaming down his face.

This is how Kong Lingyu coaxed him when he was in the welfare home. When Fang Huai first arrived at the welfare home, he only knew that his name was Maimai, and everyone called him Maimai.

Everything was unfamiliar, and he was full of fear of everything. On the first night in the welfare home, he couldn't help crying quietly under the quilt in bed. Kong Lingyu coaxed him gently and clumsily, just like he is now.

Kong Lingyu helped Fang Huai wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Fang Huai looked up and met those tender eyes, and his heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

He hurriedly looked away and suddenly found that Kong Lingyu was injured.

"Bastard." Seeing that Kong Lingyu was stabbed in the side of his waist, he hurriedly helped Kong Lingyu press the wound.

Kong Lingyu groaned in pain, raised his pale face and stared blankly at Fang Huai. Fang Huai's body was stained with the blood of both of them, and Kong Lingyu felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"They're all a bunch of bastards!"

Looking at Kong Lingyu's pale face due to bloodthirstiness and Ding Ling trembling, Fang Huai could no longer hold back and cursed a few times.

The director and the dean also quickly organized people to settle the two people. As for Ding Donghai, Fang Huai looked coldly at the man with a bruised face and nose on the ground.

He will get his comeuppance!

"Young man, it's a good thing the wound isn't deep, otherwise, in your position, hiss..."

As Kong Lingyu was carried out, the director couldn't help but take a deep breath, "If it's too deep, I'm afraid it will affect your chances of finding a partner."

Kong Lingyu, who was lying on the stretcher, wanted to sit up, but the doctor carrying the stretcher quickly stopped him.

Kong Lingyu grabbed Fang Huai's sleeve and moved his lips, motioning Fang Huai to lean over. Fang Huai's heart softened and he leaned over.

Kong Lingyu only opened and closed his mouth a few times, and Fang Huai suddenly took a few steps back, his handsome eyebrows slightly frowned, and his ears turned red.

He glared at Kong Lingyu with an unnatural expression, and Kong Lingyu laughed out loud.

"Maimai, wait for me."

Before Kong Lingyu was carried away, he smiled at Fang Huai and said, "I'm always here."
