Chapter 74 Leave this to me

When Cheng Yu'an's second punch approached with the sound of wind, Xie Siyan had already tensed all his muscles. Because he was prepared, he raised his hand accurately and grabbed the other's wrist. Under the action of inertia, the two of them crashed heavily into the medical equipment behind him.

Xie Ling covered his mouth and took two steps back.

Her shoes caught on the broken glass and she nearly slipped. She tried to move forward but was stopped by the chaotic punches of the two men.

Mu Jia appeared in this chaos.

Her eyes quickly swept across the mess on the ground, and she rushed over, blocking Cheng Yu'an and helping Xie Siyan up. "Are you okay?"

Blood was flowing down from his forehead, staining the collar of his snow-white shirt red. He had a broken yet elegant beauty. He raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm fine."

"Stop fighting!" Mu Jia turned his head and said to Cheng Yu'an. This stop succeeded in stopping his half-swung fist from freezing in mid-air.

Cheng Yu'an's eyes were red, his Adam's apple rolled violently, and he stared at Xie Siyan, "If it weren't for him..." His voice was hoarse, but he spoke to Mu Jia, "We would have already..."

Mu Jia seemed not to notice him, nor to hear his words. She lowered her head, checked Xie Siyan's injuries, and quickly lowered her voice to ask him, "Do you want me to call Doctor Liu over?"

The voice was as gentle as coaxing a child. Xie Siyan smiled, and the two of them seemed to completely ignore the instantly pale face of Cheng Yu'an behind them. "Doctor Liu is an obstetrician and gynecologist." His voice was light, and he was in the mood to joke. After he finished speaking, he leaned his head on her shoulder, and through the gap in her hair, he raised the bloody corner of his mouth to Cheng Yu'an.

It's quite green tea.

This provocative behavior completely infuriated Cheng Yu'an.

"Jia Jia," Cheng Yu'an broke free from Xie Ling's obstruction, rushed over, and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way!"

Mu Jia subconsciously turned around to protect Xie Siyan. This protective posture caused Cheng Yu'an's first punch to be deflected and hit the marble pillar beside him. But with the second move, Xie Siyan quickly pushed him away and the two men wrestled again.

The sound of sirens came from far away.

Bai Yirou had just given birth and didn't have the strength to get out of bed to dissuade the woman herself, so she could only ask the nurse to come out and check.

It was probably the nurse who came over to check on her who panicked and called the police.

The police came and separated the two men.

Xie Ling frantically pressed Cheng Yu'an's bloody knuckles with a handkerchief, but saw Mu Jia carefully straightening Xie Siyan's collar.

Just now, when she bent over to check Xie Siyan's injuries, her knee touched the broken glass on the ground. Blood was now oozing from her knee, staining it. Xie Siyan told her to get up and not to worry about himself.

"We've received a report of a public fight here," the officer said, taking in the surrounding decor and the people's clothing. He raised his hand and said, "All four of you, come with us."

Xie Ling glanced at Mu Jia, and could only helplessly support Cheng Yu'an, go downstairs obediently, and get into the police car together.

——

Bai Yirou had just given birth to a baby and was lying in the ward, feeling extremely anxious.

She asked the nurse, but the young nurse couldn't explain the situation clearly. She only said that when she got there, the two had already started fighting.

Bai Yirou was alone in the single room. After a long while, she picked up her cell phone and hesitantly made a call.

"Hello, Auntie...it's me," Bai Yirou said with some reluctance, "Yu'an and Si Yan came to the hospital to visit me. I don't know what happened, but they had a conflict and started fighting in the corridor..."

"I'm worried about him, but his physical condition doesn't allow him to get out of bed...Cen Chen has gone to the police station now."

When Xie's mother heard the word "police station", her heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained unchanged. She comforted Bai Yirou first, "Yirou, don't worry. Is the baby healthy?"

"Everything is fine here."

Only then did Xie's mother hum and complain, "These two are too much of a fool."

That being said, Xie's mother always felt that the two wouldn't clash for no reason. Xie Siyan and Cheng Yu'an were college classmates and had a close relationship. They had rarely argued before. Later, Cheng Yu'an married Xie Ling, further strengthening their relationship...

After hanging up the phone, Xie's mother quickly called the housekeeper and said, "Please make some arrangements. I'm going to the police station soon. Let Chen Fuji go over and keep an eye on it first."

——

It was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

The four people in this group sat on the benches on both sides of the police station corridor, and no one spoke.

The air was so stagnant that it seemed as if water could be wrung out of it.

There was an empty seat between Cheng Yu'an and Xie Ling.

Like an invisible barrier, Xie Ling once again picked up the alcohol cotton pad, held it in mid-air, and finally put it down silently.

The blood on the back of Cheng Yu'an's hand had dried and turned dark, but he stubbornly refused to accept her touch.

The sound of Cen Chen's leather shoes came from far away. Cheng Yu'an suddenly spoke and looked to the side: "You knew it all along, didn't you?" His voice was so low that it seemed to be squeezed out from his chest.

The alcohol bottle in Xie Ling's hand fell to the ground with a 'pop' sound.

The liquid spread across the ground, leaving a glaring trail. She raised her head in panic, only to meet Cheng Yuan's bloodshot eyes.

There is no tenderness in his eyes.

Only coldness and scrutiny remain.

"Yu'an, brother..." Xie Ling's voice trembled, his fingertips unconsciously finding the alcohol bottle and straightening it. "I don't understand...what are you talking about."

Cheng Yu'an suddenly laughed, "You and your brother are really a pair of lunatics."

-

As the passive counterattack party, Cen Chen quickly completed the bail procedures for Xie Siyan. He stood at the door of the police station, cigarette between his fingers, watching Mu Jia carefully help Xie Siyan out.

"Let's find a clinic nearby." Cen Chen flicked the ash from his cigarette, glanced at the blood-soaked cuff of Xie Siyan's shirt, and warned, "The wound needs to be treated."

Xie Siyan ignored him.

Things have changed, and now it is Cen Chen's turn to laugh at his mistakes.

Although Xie Siyan was seriously injured, his angular face accurately avoided the vital parts. Even though his face was pale at this moment, his jaw line was still sharp, adding a bit of cold beauty under the pale light of the police station.

Mu Jia gathered her coat around his shoulders, her fingers carelessly brushing the side of his neck. Xie Siyan leaned his weight towards her. To others, it looked like he was seriously injured, but Cen Chen knew he was probably taking the opportunity to assert his presence.

"Let's go." Mu Jia said softly, his voice as gentle as a feather brushing past, and no emotion could be heard.

——

On the bench in the police station, Chen Fu Ji pushed the door open and saw Xie Ling's lonely figure.

The alcohol bottle at her feet had fallen over, and the scattered cotton swabs looked like abandoned keepsakes. Cheng Yu'an stood in front of the window, his back as stiff as a sculpture, repelling everyone.

From the moment Mu Jia helped Xie Siyan leave, his eyes seemed to be nailed to the direction she disappeared, even though there was only a cold iron door there now.

Xie Ling squatted down, her slender fingers picking up the scattered cotton swabs one by one. The white cotton dress she wore today was already covered in dust, and her hair was a few strands loose, making her look disheveled and pitiful.

"Brother Yu'an..." she called out tentatively, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible. Cheng Yu'an didn't turn around, or even move his shoulders.

Xie Ling smiled self-deprecatingly and continued to clean up the mess with his head down.

Chen Fu Ji was standing at the door, and Cen Chen came over and stood beside him.

"You're here."

"Then I'll go back first," he said.

Chen Fu Ji is considered a member of the Xie family.

When Cen Chen came in just now, he noticed the unusual atmosphere between Xie Ling and Cheng Yu'an.

As an outsider, he didn't want to watch their affairs.

Chen Fuji withdrew his gaze from Xie Ling and said to Cen Chen, "Okay. Leave this to me."
