Chapter 174 Gu Yunting comes to see Su Mengxue!
When Lu Xin saw them come in, he was stunned for a moment and immediately let go of their hand. Then his eyes turned red and he explained aggrievedly:
"Xinkai, Public Security Comrade, things are not what you see. It was Su Mengxue...she was the one who tried to harm me first. I was just acting in self-defense. You must believe what I say. Things are really not what you think..."
Su Mengxue had long expected Lu Xin to say this, but she could not hear clearly what she said afterwards.
Her head ached violently, and everything in her sight was spinning and sinking. Then her eyes went dark and she passed out.
When she finally opened her eyes with great effort, she was already lying on the hospital bed with a needle stuck in the back of her hand.
The first thing she felt was a burning pain in her throat, and then the pungent smell of disinfectant penetrated her nasal cavity. Her head was dizzy and she had no strength at all.
She struggled to sit up, but just as she rose a little she fell back onto the bed.
Just then, the door of the ward was opened.
The one who came was Cheng Xinkai. When he saw Su Mengxue woke up, he walked to her side and without waiting for her to speak, he took the initiative to put a pillow behind her and leaned her against the edge of the bed.
He then handed her the warm water on the cabinet and warned her, "Your throat is very swollen now, remember to take small sips when you drink water."
Su Mengxue's throat was indeed very sore, so she took a few sips and stopped drinking.
After Cheng Xinkai put the water cup back in its place, Su Mengxue suddenly seemed to think of something and reached out to touch the recorder in her pocket, but she found that her pocket was empty and there was nothing in it.
She was about to speak anxiously when Cheng Xinkai looked at her and spoke slowly, "Don't worry, the recorder has been taken away by the police. Your suffering will not be in vain."
Su Mengxue finally felt relieved.
She pursed her lips and was about to ask again, but Cheng Xinkai seemed to know what she was going to say and quickly replied, "Don't worry, Lu Xin has just confessed. It won't be long before that person called Gu Yunting will be released."
When Su Mengxue heard this, her heart was instantly filled with ripples. She was surprised and happy, and tears of excitement welled up in the corners of her eyes.
After she calmed down, she moved her lips and spoke with great difficulty: "Cheng Xinkai, my parents..."
"Their vital signs are currently stable, and they should be released from the intensive care unit tomorrow. As for your situation, they still don't know anything about it, so don't worry."
Su Mengxue was completely relieved when she heard this. Only then did she remember that she was still wearing Cheng Xinkai's peace locket around her neck. She remembered that Lu Xin said that this peace locket was a relic left by his mother.
Without any delay, she immediately took it off her neck and returned it to Cheng Xinkai. She knew in her heart that this matter was successful thanks to Cheng Xinkai's help, so she said to him very sincerely: "Cheng Xinkai, thank you."
Cheng Xinkai raised his eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly: "Why are you thanking me? In fact, I should thank you for helping me solve this big problem of Lu Xin. Without her, I can find a woman to date and get married in the future."
Su Mengxue was just surprised. After all, Cheng Xinkai didn't seem like someone who was easy to mess with. Would he be afraid to fall in love because he was afraid of Lu Xin?
After he finished speaking, Su Mengxue looked at him with disbelief. She pouted and explained, "I'm not afraid of her. It's mainly because she's too extreme. She's warned every woman I've ever been around. Otherwise, she'll just start crying, making a scene, and then threatening to hang herself. It's really annoying. After a long time, I just don't bother to talk to her anymore."
Su Mengxue looked at him and jokingly said, "That means you haven't met a woman who makes your heart flutter over the years. Otherwise, even ten Lu Xins wouldn't be able to stop you from dating or getting married, right?"
After a moment of silence, Cheng Xinkai approached Su Mengxue, looked deeply into her eyes, and said seriously, "If I say that the person I like has always been you, would you believe me?"
Because they were not familiar with each other and were too close to each other, Su Mengxue's face turned red instantly when their eyes met.
She wanted to retreat, but now she had no way to retreat. She turned her head away and said unnaturally, "Cheng Xinkai, are you kidding me?"
The look in Cheng Xinkai's eyes dimmed for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, he stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and replied nonchalantly, "Su Mengxue, you're not stupid enough to know I was joking. That's right, I just saw that you were too nervous, so I teased you."
"Okay, now that your worries have been resolved, you should lie down and have a good rest. Also, your throat is badly swollen, so you can only eat liquid food for the next few days, and try to speak less or not at all."
"Cheng Xinkai, can I trouble you for something?"
After all, Su Mengxue was not familiar with him and their relationship was not very good in the past, so she asked a little embarrassedly.
"No!" Cheng Xinkai replied bluntly!
Just as Su Mengxue was about to speak, Cheng Xinkai added, "Don't beat around the bush in the future. Just say it directly if you have something to say."
Cheng Xinkai made a complete about-face, catching Su Mengxue off guard. She paused for several seconds before saying, "I'd like you to find me a caregiver who can deliver my three meals a day."
Cheng Xinkai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that all?"
Su Mengxue nodded subconsciously: "Well, my parents are still in the hospital, and my friend is helping me take care of the child, so I don't want to bother them..."
"It's a small matter. I promise. Just have a good sleep first. Food will be here when you wake up."
After Cheng Xinkai finished speaking, he quickly left the ward, leaving Su Mengxue without even having the chance to say thank you?
Su Mengxue was worried about Lu Zhi and Zhou Huizhen before, and then Gu Yunting, so she hadn't had a good rest for several days. Now she had no worries anymore and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, she saw a thermos on the cabinet beside her. She was hungry, so she slowly got out of bed and opened the thermos. She saw three nutritious dishes and a soup inside.
For the next two days, Cheng Xinkai came to deliver her meals on time. At noon that day, just as Cheng Xinkai delivered the meal, the door of the ward rang.
Su Mengxue thought it was a nurse, so she responded, "Come in."
But when the door was pushed open, she was stunned when she saw the tall figure that appeared.
Cheng Xinkai was talking to her when he saw her stunned and silent. He turned around and saw a strange man appear at the door. He was wearing a military uniform, with a thin and tall figure, carrying a luggage bag in his hand. Although his skin was a little dark, his appearance was particularly upright and resolute.
He instantly realized that this must be the man named Gu Yunting. His eyes darkened as he looked at the man and feigned ignorance, asking, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
