How could he be here?

He looks much older than his actual age, with white hair and a face full of exhaustion...

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Su Shaochen was the first to notice me.

Lu Jianguang kept looking around, and as soon as he saw me, he started shouting.

"Qingyun! My dear daughter! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!" He stood up excitedly.

It really is Lu Jianguang; I couldn't believe my eyes.

I took a few steps closer and saw his clothes were torn, with bruises and abrasions on his body. It seemed like he was really tied up for owing money.

"How did you end up here?" I asked him.

"Thanks to Mr. Su! Qingyun, I didn't love you in vain; at the crucial moment, you're still reliable, getting Mr. Su to redeem me! Mr. Su, my daughter must have caused you trouble, right? In the future, I'll leave her to your care; Qingyun is very competent, she can do any work..." He said the last few words to Su Shaochen.
