Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman || LK Adaptation

When she received Hanbin's call, Fu Yeri was happy, because her cousin had always treated her coldly. She had always wanted to make a good impression on him, but had not been able to do anything about it.

However, she didn't expect to hear the words when she picked up the call.

"Cousin, you're... making a joke?" Yeri's lips twitched upwards. She didn't dare believe it, but she also knew that her cousin would never lie. To make this phone call was already a testament of how much of a truth this was.

But, how was that possible?

The other side clearly didn't expect for her to be the one to answer the call, and he hung up immediately, leaving only the dial tone ringing in her ears.

Yeri couldn't calm down after hearing those words, and she sat down on the sofa, staring out the door in a daze.

When Hyekyo and Fu Joongki came back, she was still in the same state. "Yeri, why haven't you gone to bed?"

Baili Hyekyo was already over forty, but she still looked as beautiful as ever, as though age had not left a single mark on her flawless face. This was especially obvious in her eyes, which were incredibly mesmerizing. Although she had retired from the film industry for more than twenty years, the internationally renowned director had still not given up on the idea of her taking on a role in his movies.

However, Hyekyo had not taken on any roles, though she occasionally attended film festivals as a judge or an award guest.

Tonight, she had been out at an international film festival. She had been invited as a judge, and Fu Joongki had accompanied her.

"I was waiting for you to come back first, mummy." Yeri looped her arms around Hyekyo's, and then instructed a servant, "Bring some of the desserts that I made for Mommy and Daddy."

"We've already said to leave these things to Auntie and the others, why are you still doing it by yourself?" Although Joongki was harsh in his words, his eyes were full of affection and love. He didn't have many desires in his life, and the greatest pride he had was marrying Hyekyo, and having his daughter, Yeri after that.

He didn't have much knowledge on the path of ancient martial arts, so he left it to pursue things that he was more interested in, mainly commercial business. After those things happened to Hyekyo, he transferred his business abroad.

And then they had Yeri, who received the attention of the Fu family since she was young because she had managed to advance to Bone Refinement level at such a young age.

Yeri was a smart child since she was young, consistently skipping grades with her high intelligence. Although she was only seventeen years old, she was already an outstanding student in Stanford University. As a father, he couldn't be any prouder.

And because Hyekyo liked Chinese food, Yeri had purposely gone to learn how to cook, and would come home occasionally to make them food when she could.

She had both the looks and the brains, and was also sensible, she was the ideal child of someone else in the eyes of people around her.

Hyekyo rubbed her head gently. "Yeri, we might need to return to China soon."

"What?" Yeri was startled, and she couldn't help but think of the call that Hanbin had made a while ago. An uncomfortable feeling clawed at her heart, but she forced a smile onto her face.

"Something has happened between England and the ancient martial art world. It wouldn't be good for us to stay here." Joongki explained. "You can still remain here and continue your studies in Stanford though."
