Fu Tianming returned home but found it hard to sleep. After studying in the United States, he had hoped that with his talents, he could finally provide a better life for his loved ones. Just as he was gradually realizing his dreams, his wife, unable to endure the loneliness and hardships of starting a business, chose to leave, claiming she had found true love. His wife's betrayal not only destroyed his love but also caused him to lose his beloved daughter. For all these years, he had only one thought in mind: to make money. To earn a lot of money, he wanted his ex-wife to regret her decision. Heaven does not disappoint those who work hard; with his unique vision and rare courage, he not only established himself in the real estate industry but also carved out a place for himself in other related fields.
He became wealthy, perhaps even surpassing the rich man he once was. Yet he was unhappier than ever. A few years ago, he met the socialite Lina. She willingly became his mistress. However, for Fu Tianming, she was merely a tool for relieving stress and satisfying desires. He was willing to spend money on her purely to express his disdain for money and for women who love money. Every time he threw money at her, her shining eyes brought him a twisted pleasure from trampling on a woman's soul and a deep-seated disgust.
But for some reason, when faced with Liu Qianqian, he felt calm inside. Perhaps it was because she was still a child and could not yet be considered a woman. In any case, he never thought of giving her money; he just wanted to cherish her, to watch her speak, and to genuinely care for her—this came from the depths of his soul.
Over the years, he had spent little time at home. Most of the time, he lived in the office; on one hand, it allowed him to handle affairs better, and on the other hand, despite having hired several people in that large house, he still feared returning home. He felt that loneliness would suffocate him with pain. However, today his mind was filled only with Liu Qianqian's thin, pale face and her pair of lively big eyes. Perhaps for him, this girl's background reminded him of his deceased daughter, compelling him to feel pity for her. Moreover, the indifference that belied her age made anyone who saw her feel heartbroken. Just before sleeping, he finally found an excuse for himself and thought of a way to help her.
In the following days, Fu Tianming was tied up with company matters. By the time he finished addressing urgent issues at hand, two weeks had passed. In the evening, he drove over but then realized that he did not know where she lived. He circled around several times but did not see Liu Qianqian's figure. Finally, he chose to wait at the small pavilion where they had met that night. However, it was already very late and still no sign of her. He couldn't help but feel anxious as he kept glancing around the pavilion, fearing that he might miss her if he looked away for even a moment.
"Could it be that our meeting that day was just a coincidence?" He scolded himself for being careless enough to let her watch him leave instead of seeing her home.
"Could something have happened?" Worry made him even more restless as he struck his hand heavily against a pillar out of frustration—both at his own negligence and at her disappearance.
At that moment, Liu Qianqian was busy working in the restaurant where she was employed. For some reason, business was particularly good today; even this late she could not finish her shift and go do her daily "waiting work." Not only were there many dishes to wash, but sometimes she also had to help serve food. The clock on the wall seemed to tick faster each time she glanced at it; it had long passed the latest time people might come out for a walk. Although her heart raced with anxiety and her face flushed red from urgency, everyone else was working overtime too; she couldn’t expect to be let go.
In fact, it hadn’t been easy for her to find this job. Because she looked frail and was still young, no one wanted to hire her. Even this boss had bluntly told her at the time, "You look too thin; you probably can't do much! Besides, you're underage; hiring you would be illegal."
"Boss, please don’t worry! I promise I won’t make you regret it! Please hire me! I really have nowhere else to go!" Despite her sincere pleas, if she hadn’t shared with the boss about searching for her father across great distances and ultimately gained his sympathy, she would still have been left without options. Therefore, she worked very hard at this job so as not to make him feel like hiring her was a mistake.
