Chapter 58: 8 million spent?
In the hospital, Gu Youran stayed by Luo Zhiwei's side almost every step of the way, watching her intently as if she were her own eyes, as if she would disappear from her sight in the blink of an eye.
She cannot let what happened before happen again.
But after these two days, she's already turned into a panda with dark circles under her eyes.
As her best friend, Luo Zhiwei would notice even if she was lying in a hospital bed. She looked at Gu Youran with concern: "Ranran, you don't need to stay with me. I'm in the hospital now, it's okay. You should go back and get some sleep... I..."
She wanted to say that she wasn't that seriously injured. She did have many injuries, but after being unconscious for several days, her wounds were starting to scab over, and she felt much better overall.
There's no need to keep watching over her.
Besides, there are doctors and nurses in the hospital, so many people are there. The Zhao family is probably having a hard time right now, so she doesn't need to worry.
But before she could finish speaking, Gu Youran cut her off: "No, I won't leave you. I will stay with you until you are safely discharged from the hospital."
Gu Youran was adamant; she couldn't let what happened that day repeat itself.
"Ranran...."
Gu Youran looked at Luo Zhiwei pitifully. She really couldn't rest. Every time she closed her eyes, all she could see was Weiwei lying there, barely alive, in the dark room. That image lingered in her mind. She was afraid to close her eyes, afraid...
Whenever she thought that she was the one who caused all of this, she felt like slapping herself.
Gu Youran would rather blame her slightly, scold her a couple of times, or even slap her a couple of times.
But Weiwei not only didn't blame her, but also comforted her, which made her feel even more guilty.
"Weiwei, please let me stay with you. Every time I close my eyes, I see you covered in injuries. I'm so scared. I...I'm sorry, Weiwei."
I promised to protect you, but I ended up hurting you.
I'm not a human being.
Gu Youran rested her head on Luo Zhiwei's hand, and warm tears flowed involuntarily, burning Luo Zhiwei's heart.
"Ranran, this has nothing to do with you. Don't take all the blame on yourself. This is not your fault."
If we really have to blame someone, it's... Zhao Tingguo's fault.
"Can...."
"There are no buts. Just listen to me, okay? Don't listen to anything Lu Jingxiao said to you. I'm the one involved, so I'm the only one who has the right to say whether it's your fault or not."
Luo Zhiwei's eyes were very gentle and doting. When she looked at Gu Youran, there was no blame in her eyes: "Ranran, if it weren't for you, I might have died long ago. How could I blame you? This matter has nothing to do with you, so why would I blame you?"
I am not your responsibility, Ranran. You have no reason to be responsible for me.
Returning to the Luo family villa was my own decision, and I didn't tell anyone, so I should bear all the consequences myself.
You shouldn't feel sorry, you shouldn't blame yourself.
Without you, I would have died long ago. You and Brother Gu saved my life, how could I bear to let others blame you?
“Weiwei…” Gu Youran cried even harder.
"Ranran, why don't you sleep next to me for a while and keep me company?"
Gu Youran's dark circles looked like panda eyes. If she didn't rest soon, she might fall ill after being discharged from the hospital.
"I...."
Gu Youran had just straightened up when someone knocked on the door.
**
When Luo Zhiwei saw who it was, she was shocked: "Miss Bai, what brings you here?"
Bai Yuxin walked in nervously, her expression somewhat off: "Sister Luo, I...I want to see you."
She was going completely crazy.
She was originally excited to return the money to Sister Luo through the company today, as she and Chris had already talked things out.
But when she arrived at the president's office, she found no one there... Her cousin wasn't there, and neither was her sister Luo.
Even Wei Mingfeng, who is always dedicated to her job, only went to the office briefly and then left. If she hadn't run into her downstairs at the company, she wouldn't have known that so much had happened.
"Miss Bai, please have a seat."
Luo Zhiwei smiled faintly, her gentle voice making Gu Youran a little curious.
Weiwei is usually cold to everyone, so why is she being so polite and gentle to this Miss Bai?
hiss--
Miss Bai?
Gu Youran couldn't help but take a curious look, and then another. Holy crap! Isn't this Lu Jingxiao's fiancée? The kind that's been on the news.
Her gaze lingered on Luo Zhiwei and Bai Yuxin, her expression growing increasingly strange.
Are exes and current partners living together peacefully?
Luo Zhiwei smiled gently and introduced, "Miss Bai, this is my best friend, Gu Youran." She paused, "Youran, this is Miss Bai, Bai Yuxin, Mr. Lu's fiancée."
Bai Yuxin: "......"
Sister Luo, please don't say that. If you say that, will I even be able to get back alive?
She suspected that Chris had overheard them outside.
She scratched her ear a little guiltily: "Well... Sister Luo, you can just introduce me as Bai Yuxin. Actually... I don't really want to have anything to do with Lu Jingxiao."
Gu Youran's gaze swept over them sharply.
Tsk tsk, what did I just hear?
Don't want to have anything to do with Lu Jingxiao?
So you dislike it that much?
Or is it just for show?
They had made a high-profile return to China before.
I don't want to have any relationship right now.
Luo Zhiwei just smiled faintly, not taking Bai Yuxin's words seriously.
After all, everyone knows about Bai Yuxin and Lu Jingxiao's relationship.
Bai Yuxin stood there, hesitating for a long, long time, her fingers curling up and almost tearing at the hem of her clothes, not knowing how to start the conversation.
"Miss Bai, is there something you want to say?"
Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, Luo Zhiwei took the initiative to ask her.
Bai Yuxin took a few steps forward and stood beside Luo Zhiwei. She asked cautiously, "Sister Luo, I heard that it was because of the incident at the mall that Lin Wanru went back and complained, which is why Zhao Tingguo hurt you like this?"
As she spoke, a sense of self-reproach welled up within her.
I should have known better than to get into a conflict with that bitch Lin Wanru.
What an insolent old man!
"No, that was just a trigger. Zhao Tingguo has wanted to kill me for a long time, so you don't need to worry about it."
Gu Youran stood to the side, somewhat confused: "What shopping mall?"
Bai Yuxin explained, "That day at the mall, my card was frozen, and Sister Luo used her card to swipe over 7.8 million yuan on me... and then Lin Wanru's family..."
Gu Youran felt like her brain wasn't working properly. She stared wide-eyed at Luo Zhiwei in disbelief: "You spent all the money?"
"I..." Luo Zhiwei also felt a little guilty: "At that time, Lin Wanru and Zhao Yulan provoked me, and I couldn't hold back. Miss Bai stood up for me at the time, so I can't..." It put her in a difficult position.
"You!" Gu Youran stood up abruptly, pointing at Luo Zhiwei with a look of utter disappointment: "Weiwei, that money was meant to be your security, and you spent it all?"
"Ranran, I'm not...."
Bai Yuxin quickly said, "No, no, please calm down. I came here today not only to visit Sister Luo, but also to return the money to her."
She had already transferred the funds to Chris Charlo's sister's account, and there was only one account that matched the transaction that day, so the bank card must be in Charlo's sister's possession. So she took out her phone and started tapping...
Luo Zhiwei received a text message from the bank informing her that 8 million yuan had been deposited into her account.
