Chapter 714 Xu Chen's Thoughts
At least we can't be so obvious about it anymore.
The price to pay for this is too high.
"Okay, I promise you." Wen Qingyi agreed readily.
With Xu Chen's help and the lawyer's mediation, Wen Qingyi was successfully released by the police.
As she walked out of the police station, she could even feel that the air outside had a sweet and refreshing scent.
"Alright, Attorney Guo, you can go now. I'll contact you if I need anything later." Xu Chen urged Attorney Guo to leave.
Attorney Guo glanced at Xu Chen and Wen Qingyi: "Alright, Mr. Xu, I'll be going now. Goodbye."
After watching Attorney Guo leave, Xu Chen asked her, "Where are you going? Shall I buy you a plane ticket back to Canada?"
"I'm not going back!" Wen Qingyi resisted as soon as she heard about returning to Canada: "I almost lost my life here. If I go back in this sorry state, I'll have lost to Sang Ruo! I absolutely refuse to go back!"
Why should she return to Canada like a stray dog?
Why should Sang Ruo be able to enjoy such a life here?
She cannot go back until Sang Ruo is eliminated!
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen frowned, his voice tinged with displeasure: "You almost went to jail, and you still don't want to go back? When are you planning to go back?"
When will she finally realize that she has been clinging to a happiness that doesn't belong to her?
Bo Jinyan is already married, why is she still not giving up?
"At least, I can only go back after I've dealt with Sang Ruo's matter." Wen Qingyi was unwilling to return like a stray dog: "Achen, I beg you, please help me..."
“We grew up together, how can you bear to watch me be abandoned by my fiancé? To let me return to Canada like a stray dog?”
Xu Chen didn't speak, but his disapproval was obvious in his eyes and brows.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Wen Qing's eyes gradually filled with tears, and her voice became tinged with sobs: "Achen, you've always loved me the most since we were little, I really can't bear to go back like this..."
"I can promise you that as soon as I've resolved things with Sang Ruo, I will definitely go back to Canada, okay? I promise!"
As she spoke, as if afraid he wouldn't believe her, she even held up three fingers to swear to the heavens to show her determination.
Seeing that she had sworn to heaven, Xu Chen softened a bit, his voice sounding strained: "Alright, considering you just lost your fiancé, I'll agree, but you can't treat Xiao Kang like this, understand?"
"I know." Wen Qingyi nodded repeatedly: "I was too impulsive this time. I didn't consider the consequences at all. I really regret it."
She only regretted that she had been too obvious. If she had been more subtle in poisoning, would she have succeeded?
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen sighed and said in a flat tone, "Then where are you going now? Shall I get you a room at the Bulgari Hotel? You can't be without a place to stay in Beijing, can you?"
That's just too tragic.
Having lost her fiancé, she can't even go back to her father's place, and if he doesn't help her, she'll truly be homeless.
"Okay, as long as I have a place to stay, I'll be very satisfied."
Although a hotel can't compare to home, it's still better than having nowhere to stay.
So, after Wen Qingyi was bailed out by Xu Chen, he arranged for her to stay at the Bulgari Hotel, and her room was right next to his, so that they could look after each other.
He had just booked a room for Wen Qingyi when he saw an uninvited guest—
Thin embers remain.
Xu Chen glanced at Bo Jinyan, then turned to Wen Qingyi and said, "You go back to your room first. I'll take care of things here with your cousin."
"Thank you." Wen Qingyi glanced at Bo Jinyan, a little reluctant, "Then take care of yourself."
She hadn't seen Bo Jinyan in a long time, but she had a gut feeling that he was here to settle scores with her, so she could only leave reluctantly and go upstairs.
Only after Wen Qingyi had completely disappeared from his sight did Xu Chen ask him with a half-smile, "Cousin, did you come to see me today specifically to settle scores?"
He had long guessed that his cousin wouldn't let Wen Qingyi off so easily, but he still couldn't figure out what his cousin's next move would be.
"Since you guessed it, why are you still helping her like this?" Bo Jinyan truly didn't understand what he was thinking: "Do you know that protecting her is also a crime? Don't you feel any remorse?"
They even managed to get Wen Qingyi out.
It seems that he really treats Wen Qingyi very well; he has never seen Xu Chen treat a woman so well before.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen suddenly burst out laughing: "Harboring a criminal? Committing a crime? If her crime were truly so unforgivable, do you think the police would release her so easily? The fact that the police released her proves that her crime wasn't that serious, doesn't it?"
Otherwise, even if he brought a lawyer with him, the police might not release him easily.
“Even so, that’s no reason for you to keep helping her like this.” Bo Jinyan frowned, somewhat puzzled by his behavior: “Xu Chen, you could clearly stay out of this, why do you help her with everything?”
And I got myself all dirty.
Is it worth it?
Xu Chen's voice carried a hint of impatience: "I helped her purely out of our childhood friendship. I'm not like you, so heartless! You wouldn't even spare your childhood sweetheart!"
He was just doing what a childhood friend should do.
Qingyi is already pitiful enough. If he doesn't help her, she will have already been driven to the brink of despair by her cousin.
"Do you know how much Wen Qingyi has done to Xiao Ruo? And you're still defending her like this?" Bo Jinyan's displeasure deepened: "Do you like her?"
He needed to figure out Xu Chen's attitude towards Wen Qingyi before he could deal with her.
Otherwise, if Wen Qingyi loses Gong Lian but unexpectedly gains Xu Chen's protection, it will be even more difficult for him to take revenge on her in the future.
Xu Chen rolled her eyes at him: "Do you only see love and have no other feelings? You can drag emotions into everything? I just can't stand you guys targeting her, so what?"
Is there anything wrong with that?
Why is he allowed to target Wen Qingyi, but not allowed to help her?
"But the truth is, your disapproval is itself an overflow of emotion." It wasn't that Bo Jinyan was targeting him, but rather that he had made it too obvious: "Do you dare deny that you have absolutely no feelings for her?"
If I had no feelings for her, why would I help her like this?
The way he's helping Wen Qingyi now is very similar to how he helped Xiao Ruo in the past.
They're both men, how could he not see it?
