Birth of a Beauty

Chapter 109: Did someone hit you?

A deep husky voice was heard from the other side "Sure. Xi Mei, is it?"

"Yeah" Shi Yun confirmed.

"The reports will sent to you by tonight." Following by his answer, he hung up.

*Knock knock*

"Shi Yun, Can I come in?" Shi Fengge called out from the other side.

Shi Yun took a deep breath, before picking up the lipstick " Yeah, The door is open."

Applying the lipstick, She peered at the handsomely dressed young man at the door with a confusion

on her face.

"Gege, Are you going to work?" She asked.

"It is related to work but not in office. I am having business dinner. Tell me quickly, How am I looking?"

Shi Fengge asked with a huge grin.

Raising her hand, she gave him a thumbs up but didn't say anything further. Instead got up and fixed

her dress. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"I heard you are going for your cheerleading practice. Let me drop you there." He said he swirled his

car keys.

She shook her head " You don't have to. I will drive by myself."

Shi Fengge frowned "Why? I am heading to the same direction. Let me just drop you. And your hand is

injured too."

Shi Yun still declined him. Eventually, He gave up and they went on their ways by themselves.

Li Household;

Li Seulbi slowly opened the door and looked around here and there. After confirming no one there. She

rushed up towards her room.

However, Su Yumi who just got back from market noticed Li Seulbi's silhouettes , she flinched in

surprise ' Seulbi? Isn't she supposed to be at school?'

"Seulbi!! Is that you?" Su Yumi called out.

Li Seulbi who was climbing the stairs halted her steps. Pursing her lips, she ran even faster towards

her room.

Hearing the loud noises coming from stairs but with no response, Su Yumi got alarmed. 'Maybe i am

wrong. Is there robber in the house?'

She threw the groceries aside and hastily dialed Li Cheng's number who went cloth shopping with Tang

Fian.

After telling everything, Li Cheng told Su Yumi to leave the house immediately and go to neighbors

temporarily but contrary to his advice Su Yumi took her wooden cane and climbed the stairs warily.

"Li Seulbi?! Is that you?" She called out just to confirm again.

But there was no response. Inside the room Li Seulbi was biting her lips in nervousness as she didn't

know what excuses she would give to her grandmother, totally oblivious to the fact that Su Yumi was

thinking robber broke into the house.

"Whoever you are, I have called the police and i have a weapon. So, You better try not to-" Su Yumi

who was trying to buy some time was flabbergasted when she saw injured Li Seulbi coming out of the

room.

"YUMI!! Are you crazy? Why would you call the police?!"

After hearing that her grandmother called the police, Seulbi mind turned blank. Without caring anything,

she went outside and shouted.

"Seulbi? What happened? How did you get injured? " Su Yumi exclaimed worriedly as she saw Li

Seulbi's swollen cheek and bandaged face.

Only then, Li Seulbi realized she dug her own grave. Bitting her lips, she remained silent.

Throwing her cane, Su Yumi walked towards Li Seulbi and touched her face with her trembling aged

hand , still in state of shock, "Seulbi, I asked what happened? Did someone hit you?"

"Umm..I-" Just as Li Seulbi was trying to make an excuse, they heard door slamming and rushed

footsteps.

Alarmed, Li Seulbi grabbed Su Yumi and went to her room, closing the door shut.

"I asked all the neighbors, but they said mother hasn't contacted them in anyway. That means mother

is still in the house. Honey, what should we do? Should we call police?" Tang Fian asked as she peered

at Li Cheng.

He shook his head " No, Mom said she thinks some robber broke into home. It's just her assumption, if

we called police and it turns out that her assumption was wrong then that won't be good. "

" Then? What are we gonna do? What if it's real and he stole everything?" Tang Fian was concerned

that her belongings would be stolen.

Li Cheng , who was worried about Su Yumi, said " You stay here, I will check the house. If i don't return

in one hour, inform the police. Okay?"

Tang Fian stared at him anxiously but eventually nodded her head.

After entering the house, he grabbed the golf stick and scanned the house in cautious way.

He noticed Su Yumi's shoes at the doorstep and the groceries near the stairs.

"Mom? Are you home?" He shouted. But there was no reply.

Frowning, he hurriedly walked near the stairs. Then, he heard the door slamming upstairs. Tightening

his grasp over the golf stick, Li Cheng began to climb the stairs.

*Badum Badum*

Feeling his heart palpitate at each step, he finally arrived at Li Seulbi's room. He saw Su Yumi's

wooden cane lying on the floor.

' Mom's cane? Should i call her out once more? No what if the robber gets alert and harms mom. I

need to approach carefully. Don't worry Li Cheng, you have practiced martial arts, everything will be

okay' He clenched his fist as he picked up the wooden cane.

Golf stick at right hand & wooden cane at his left, taking a deep breath he was about to kick the door,

when the door suddenly opened.

Startled, he backed away and put both the stick and cane in front of him as a defense. When he saw

the person who opened the door, he was surprised.

"Mom? Are you okay?" He threw those things away before approaching Su Yumi. Su Yumi silently shut

the door behind her before replying " Let's talk downstairs. Xiao Seulbi is sleeping."

Without waiting for him, She began to move downstairs.

Dumbfounded Li Cheng, blinked a few times in daze before Su Yumi's voice hit his brain . He shouted "

Li Seulbi? She is here? Wasn't she supposed to-"

He was met with Su Yumi's death glare making him zip his mouth instantly and follow her.
