Chapter 293 The Crows Perch Again, Startled (19)

The sound of a car outside signaled Chen Boteng's return.

Hearing the sound, Chen Baiying looked up and noticed the disheveled Zhou Qianqian. She asked in surprise, "Qianqian, what happened to your foot?"

Zhou Qianqian said helplessly, "I sprained my ankle."

Upon hearing this, Chen Baiying turned around and glared angrily at Chu Nian, demanding, "Was it you who did this again?"

Chu Nian looked bewildered: What did she do? How come it was her doing again?

She took a sip of coffee with a blank expression.

Chen Boteng came in and saw Chen Baiying helping Zhou Qianqian to the door. He exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Qianqian, what happened to you?"

Before Zhou Qianqian could answer, Chen Baiying said first, "It's all because of that Luo Nian. She caused Feng Lin to fall down the stairs and also caused Zhou Qianqian to sprain her ankle."

Chen Boteng then noticed Chu Nian sitting on the sofa deep in the hall, leisurely eating dessert, and was a little surprised.

He said in a deep voice, "Forget about Feng Lin. She has no grudge against Qianqian and would never harm her."

Chen Baiying: "How could it be impossible? It must be her, otherwise how did Qianqian sprain her ankle?"

Chen Boteng asked Zhou Qianqian, "Qianqian, how did you sprain your ankle?"

Zhou Qianqian said blankly, "I don't know either."

A sprained ankle? You just twist it when you can't stand properly. This girl probably doesn't really know the details, but her answer in this situation could easily lead to misunderstanding.

Chen Baiying immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Brother, look, Qianqian herself doesn't know how she sprained her ankle. Someone must be behind this!" As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Chu Nian.

Chen Boteng followed his sister's gaze and looked over, only to hear Chu Nian's voice singing softly: "In my dream, a hundred flowers bloom, but when I wake up, they are gone. I gave a thousand kinds of love, only to receive a thousand kinds of hatred in return. My vows have turned into sorrow..."

For some reason, Chen Boteng suddenly recalled the way Lou Qianzong had played the pipa and sang this song on stage before. At this moment, this Miss Nian Nian was not only singing this song, but even her demeanor and unique mixed male and female voice were extremely similar to Lou Qianzong's.

Chen Boteng felt inexplicably drawn to the singing, as if his soul was being sucked into it, and he was somewhat absent-minded.

He felt that all he could see and feel was the person on the stage holding a pipa, singing with a sorrowful expression. He just wanted to keep looking at this person, at his beautiful face, and at his voice that could topple kingdoms. He also wanted to know what kind of story was hidden behind his mournful singing.

"Brother, brother, say something!" Chen Baiying saw that her brother was so engrossed in listening to a song that she had no choice but to shake Chen Baiteng's arm anxiously and start urging him on.

Chen Boteng finally came to his senses, thought for a moment, and said, "Baiying, I think that with Miss Niannian's abilities, if she really did it, she wouldn't have any reason to deny it."

"Then...then..." Chen Baiying hesitated for a long time before mustering her courage to question Chu Nian: "Luo Nian, I'm asking you, did you make Qianqian sprain her ankle?"

Chu Nian smiled helplessly, "Why would I let her sprain her ankle? Besides, if I wanted to mess with her, it wouldn't be as simple as just spraining her ankle." As she spoke, she pointed upstairs with a smile to the room where Chang Fenglin was.

Then, a scream of agony came from the room, followed by a series of wailing cries of "Help!", "There's a ghost!", and "Help!"

Inside, the shouts of the doctor and the butler could be heard, creating a chaotic scene.

However, the chaos only lasted a short while before stopping. The doctor and the butler came out of the room.

"Young Master is back." The butler greeted Chen Boteng as soon as he saw him.

Chen Boteng nodded and asked Dr. Liu, "What's Chang Fenglin's condition?"

Dr. Liu: "I suspect he may have some mental or psychological issues and needs to consult a psychiatrist. I just gave him a sedative injection, and he should sleep peacefully for a while, so you don't need to worry too much."

Chen Boteng gave Chu Nian a deep look, then pointed at Zhou Qianqian and said, "This young lady has sprained her ankle. We'll have to trouble Dr. Liu to take a look."

Dr. Liu nodded and said "okay," then asked Zhou Qianqian to sit down and lifted her foot to examine the injury.

Chen Boteng sat down next to Chu Nian and said, "Miss Nian, Mr. Lou and I just discussed it. Since your apartment is destroyed, you can temporarily live in the same apartment as Mr. Lou..."

"No, I won't live with him." Chu Nian resolutely refused. She was trying to avoid that pervert like the plague!

Chen Boteng said with some difficulty, "But finding an apartment now will take some time..."

Chu Nian said, "I can stay here for a few days."

Chen Boteng stared at her, his lips twitching: No matter what, he couldn't let the wolf into the house!

Chu Nian continued, "To be honest, Lou Qianzong has always coveted my beauty. Frankly, if he weren't so beautiful, I wouldn't mind staying in the same apartment building as him for a few days; after all, I'd be more resistant to him then. But I'm really worried I won't be able to resist his temptation..."

“Okay,” Chen Boteng replied almost unconsciously, “then you can move in here for a few days!”

As soon as he said it, he met the horrified look in his younger sister's eyes, which were agape in shock. Only then did he realize that he had actually agreed to let this zombie live in his house.

Seeing that he was about to say something, Chu Nian quickly said, "You can't go back on your word once you've agreed!"

She has now confirmed that the male lead has been successfully turned gay by the villainous boss, Lou Qianzong.

Chen Boteng seemed unwilling to give up and opened his mouth to speak again, so Chu Nian added, "If Lou Qianzong and I lived under the same roof, we really would end up together."

Chen Baiteng didn't know what was wrong with him, but when he heard Chu Nian say something like that, he felt a sudden pang in his heart. He felt that he couldn't let these two zombies get together, so he immediately turned to the butler and instructed, "Quickly take Miss Nian to see the guest rooms upstairs and let her choose one to stay in temporarily."

"Brother!" Chen Baiying exclaimed in disbelief.

Chen Boteng said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, she'll only stay for a few days. She'll move out as soon as she finds a new apartment."

Chen Baiying: "Just staying for a few days? Do you know that she's only been here for less than an hour and she's already tormented Feng Lin to the point of near death?"

Chu Nian said, "I told you, I just wanted to talk to Chang Fenglin. He's the one who's afraid of me as soon as he sees me."

Chen Boteng asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you want to talk to Chang Fenglin about?"

Chen Baiying had asked this question before, mainly because they both felt that Luo Nian and Chang Fenglin had reached a point where there was nothing left to talk about.

Chu Nian didn't think there was anything wrong with their idea, but she still wanted to "talk," and said with a smile, "You'll find out when the time comes."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Boteng gave the butler a look, signaling him to take Chu Nian upstairs to choose a guest room.
