He Lingchuan was somewhat at a loss. He put one hand on Cao Xue's shoulder, wanting to push her away, but worried that he might hurt her if he used too much force. So he waited until Cao Xue's emotions had completely calmed down before letting go.
He gently comforted Cao Xue until she had completely calmed down before returning to the laboratory.
He Lingchuan stayed in the laboratory all night, his mind filled with the words his mother had said before she left.
He really shouldn't have forcibly separated the two children.
He Lingchuan's face was grave, and he didn't sleep all night.
The next morning, when He Lingchuan woke up, he found that he had actually slept on the laboratory table all night.
He stretched his muscles and felt a sharp pain in his calves.
As soon as she pushed the door open, Gu Chengze pushed her back inside.
"What's wrong?"
He Lingchuan asked Gu Chengze, puzzled. Seeing his serious expression, he thought something had gone wrong with the experiment.
"Is there a problem with the equipment? Did the test fail?"
He Lingchuan shook Gu Chengze's shoulder anxiously, his eyes filled with worry.
Gu Chengze, panting heavily, frowned and said, "It has nothing to do with the equipment, it's about you and Cao Xue."
He Lingchuan was still puzzled. He looked confused as he saw Gu Chengze pull out a video. In the video, the two people were hugging tightly. From the angle of the filming, they looked very intimate, like a couple who hadn't seen each other for a long time finally meeting and pouring out their hearts to each other.
Is this you?
Gu Chengze didn't believe it at first, but it was obvious that this was their laboratory.
Looking at the two people inside, He Lingchuan could roughly guess the location of the person taking the photos.
"It's me."
He admitted without hesitation that the next second, He Lingchuan suddenly thought of something, pushed open the door and ran out.
Gu Chengze followed, puzzled, and saw He Lingchuan standing at the entrance of Cao Xue's studio. He frowned and grabbed Cao Xue's partner, asking, "Where is Cao Xue?"
The man lowered his head, his face full of rejection: "How dare you ask? It's all your fault."
He Lingchuan gradually lost patience, and his tone became very serious: "I don't want to hear your nonsense. I'm asking you where he is."
Cao Xue has a heart condition; if she sees this video…
He Lingchuan didn't dare to think too much, and gripped the man's hand tighter and tighter: "Cao Xue was just taken away by an ambulance."
just?
According to the time this person mentioned, he was still sleeping in the lab at that time.
He Lingchuan clenched his fists and grabbed Gu Chengze's hand, asking him to take him to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, He Lingchuan told Gu Chengze what had happened.
Gu Chengze looked helpless: "This whole thing is a mess. You were clearly doing a good deed, but you've become the target of everyone's ire."
He sighed, frowning as he thought about the comments online: "Fortunately, those netizens didn't pay much attention to Cao Xue; the person they were really paying attention to was you."
While waiting at a red light, Gu Chengze glanced at the people on his side and said tactfully, "They think it's your fault that you and Shen Yanxi divorced, and they want you to apologize to Shen Yanxi."
"What does this have to do with Shen Yanxi?"
Their divorce was clearly caused by Shen Yanxi, yet these netizens are really making a mountain out of a molehill.
He Lingchuan shrugged nonchalantly: "The most important thing right now is Cao Xue's health."
She definitely wouldn't be able to withstand such a blow.
He Lingchuan frowned: "I must find the person who took the photos."
Half an hour later, He Lingchuan arrived at the hospital.
Upon arriving at Cao Xue's hospital room, He Lingchuan didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed upstairs.
He met Shen Yanxi's gaze as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.
The two asked in unison, "Why are you here?"
He Lingchuan looked displeased, and Shen Yanxi's expression wasn't much better.
She glared at He Lingchuan, her tone full of accusation, as if she had witnessed his infidelity: "What exactly happened with that video?"
Shen Yanxi took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. This was a hospital, and Cao Wei was still here. She didn't want others to laugh at her: "He Lingchuan, you've really grown some guts lately. Not only do you talk back to me, but you're also flirting with other women outside. Aren't you ashamed?"
Cao Xue has a heart condition. If something happens to her, who will take responsibility?
He Lingchuan's gaze swept quickly over Shen Yanxi, as if he hadn't seen her at all, and he pushed her shoulder to walk inside: "Where's Cao Xue?"
Shen Yanxi's expression changed, and she blocked He Lingchuan's path: "Did you even hear what I said? How long are you going to pretend to be stupid?"
"How could I pretend to be stupid?"
He Lingchuan sneered, completely losing his patience: "Can't you guess who released this video? Don't you know whether I'm innocent or not?"
Shen Yanxi was confused: "What do you mean?"
He Lingchuan sneered, "You want me to explain? Then let me ask you, what do you want me to explain? Cao Xue was feeling down because she was sick, so I comforted her. What did I do wrong? Did you see us together? Or did you hear that we've established a relationship? What right do you have to question me here and make me explain?"
Shen Yanxi is becoming more and more unreasonable. He Lingchuan reached out to try to push the person in front of him away, but she grabbed his wrist.
"What kind of explanation is this? People online are saying you two have been..."
Shen Yanxi's words began to falter as she saw Cao Wei walking towards them.
Cao Xue is, after all, Cao Wei's sister. Without evidence, she couldn't say anything recklessly, fearing it would damage her relationship with Cao Wei.
Shen Yanxi knew Cao Wei's personality all too well. She looked at He Lingchuan with schadenfreude and threatened him, "You can still tell me the truth now, otherwise, I'll have to give up my seat and let Weiwei deal with you herself."
Shen Yanxi's actions, though seemingly threatening, were actually protecting He Lingchuan. This aroused Zhou Mingyan's jealousy, and he stepped forward to pull Shen Yanxi away, saying, "Xixi, this is a feud between the two of them. Let's go."
"No, I haven't heard an explanation yet."
Shen Yanxi stubbornly stood in front of He Lingchuan, and Cao Wei's voice came from behind her: "Xixi, move aside."
Cao Wei's eyes were filled with hatred. Shen Yanxi did not hesitate any longer and gave up her position.
The group was at a stalemate when, just as Shen Yanxi was about to speak up to help He Lingchuan out of the predicament, He Lingchuan suddenly said, "I will take responsibility for her."
"You'll take responsibility? How can you take responsibility? Can you make my sister better?"
Cao Wei was trembling with anger, her cheeks shaking: "Do you know how much my sister suffered to be able to return to the lab? Do you know how many chemotherapy sessions she had?"
Cao Wei reached out and slapped He Lingchuan across the face with all her might.
He Lingchuan gritted his teeth and accepted it. He raised his head and said confidently, "Don't worry, I will definitely help her find the source of her heart."
