Chapter 367 Hysteria

"Help? He will help?"

Her mother glanced at the man's slender back in embarrassment and scolded him in a low voice.

"Why are you so mad at me for no reason? If it weren't for his arrangements and the manpower and effort he put in over the past two days, you'd probably be in jail now, never seeing us at all!"

"cell?"

Du Ruo opened his eyes wide in shock.

"You mean, the six months you mentioned aren't in a detention center, but rather you want me to spend them in a real prison?"

Her mother immediately shut up and tears kept flowing down.

Du Ruo kept shaking his head.

"No, I don't want to..."

She suddenly rushed to Yan Yi, stared straight into his eyes and said hoarsely,

"Are you happy now? I'm going to jail for real. Are you happy now?"

Yan Yi looked at her silently and expressionlessly.

"Look..."

Du Ruo laughed miserably.

"Look at you! You always have this expression when you face me! We've known each other for over ten years! The smile on your face when you face me in all these years is not even as much as the one you gave to that Shen Pianpian in just a few days!"

Her mother rushed forward and grabbed her, scolding,

"Ruoruo! What are you crazy about!"

"Mom!" Du Ruo looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, and pointed at Yan Yi with a trembling hand.

"He was the one who refused to help me. He was just pretending to help me when you said he was helping me. Do you know why? Because the person I hit was the one he liked. On the day of the accident, he didn't even ask if I was injured. He just carried the woman to the hospital with a pale face. Our friendship of more than ten years is not even as good as the few short months he knew that actor..."

Snap——

Before she could finish her words, a loud and crisp slap rang out in the narrow aisle.

Her mother's chest heaved violently, and after a while she pointed at her with a look of disapproval,

"Du Ruo! Do you realize your mistake? It was you! You impulsively chose to drive your car and hit someone! Fortunately, she had the skills and the heart to avoid you, and she only suffered minor injuries. If she hadn't avoided you, do you think that professional-grade racing car would have been able to hit your sports car?"

"If she hadn't gotten out of the way, not only would you be facing a lawsuit now, you might even be hurt worse than she was!"

This slap was too loud.

Du Ruo stood there in a daze, as if he had been stunned.

My ears were buzzing and my cheeks were quickly getting hot.

After a while, the noisy tinnitus dissipated, and she slowly raised her head. The previously confused and chaotic world filled with hysterical anger and unwillingness gradually became clear again in her retina.

She looked at her mother and tears fell from her eyes.

Then, amidst her mother's increasingly intense crying, she lowered her head and said to Yan Yi,

"sorry."

The man smiled, his politeness revealing a vague sense of distance.

"No, it's what I should do."

Then Yan Yi looked at her mother and said,

"Auntie, take her to have a good meal and sleep now, so she can get enough rest, and then chat with her. Half a year is not a long time, I will visit her on time."

Even though Du Ruo was right in front of him, he jumped over without leaving a trace and spoke directly to her mother.

The sense of alienation became clear in an instant.

Du Ruo looked up at him in a daze.

Her mother was still thanking her.

"Yan Yi, will you have dinner with us today? Auntie hasn't thanked you properly yet."

"I can't," Yan Yi still smiled politely.

"I skipped work to come here."

He looked at his watch.

"The afternoon show is about to start. I have to hurry over."
