Chapter 800 Gong Lian Gets Drunk
He only recently came to his senses about the whole thing and realized that he had actually been tricked!
From the moment he chose to help Wen Qingyi, everything was already under the control of Bo Jinyan and Sang Ruo. Every step that followed was fueled by their influence!
However, he never imagined that all of this was actually related to Nan Chu!
He always thought that Nan Chu, like him, was a victim in the whole affair!
Who knew that the truth was not like that at all?!
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu's hand, which was resting on the thin blanket, tightened for a moment, but his gentle eyes remained unmoved: "Think whatever you want, but I'll say it again, this cannot be a reason for you to fall in love with Wen Qingyi."
Even if she already knew, so what?
Is this his reason for changing his mind? Is this his reason for protecting Wen Qingyi all this time?
They're all just excuses!
"So you knew all along..."
As he spoke, Xu Chen chuckled softly, his laughter filled with self-mockery: "So it turns out I was the one who was kept in the dark from beginning to end! It turns out I was the only victim! All of you, even Nan Chu, gradually became perpetrators in this unknowing process!"
"Nan Chu, I don't understand why you're doing this. Did I do something wrong? Or did I offend you in some way that makes you treat me like this?"
Lu Nanchu's usually gentle eyes showed a hint of impatience, clearly indicating that he didn't want to continue the discussion: "Just the fact that you fell in love with Wen Qingyi is enough to plunge you into an abyss of no return! Is that reason enough?! If it is, then get out of here right now! I don't want to see you!"
She didn't want to talk to him about it anymore, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
I just want to be a completely unfamiliar engaged couple.
"I can leave, but you have to tell me where Qingyi is!" Xu Chen came today specifically for this matter: "If you don't tell me Qingyi's whereabouts and give me a satisfactory answer, I absolutely will not leave!"
He didn't care if she disliked him because of it.
As long as he can find Wen Qingyi and confirm that she is safe, that is enough for him.
Upon hearing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Lu Nanchu's eyes: "So that's why you're insisting on staying here. It turns out you're looking for Wen Qingyi... But she's gone, what's the use of looking for me? It's not like I made her disappear."
Is Wen Qingyi the only one left to talk about between the two of them now?
His eyes were filled with nothing but Wen Qingyi; she was no longer even there!
"You!" Xu Chen was almost speechless with anger, and it took him a long time to find his voice again: "But you were a participant, weren't you? I believe you didn't cause Qingyi's disappearance, but you were an insider, you must know where Qingyi is, right?"
During this time, she seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, and he never managed to contact her again!
He called her but she didn't answer, and she didn't reply to his WeChat messages. He tried all sorts of methods, but he still couldn't get in touch with her!
He was truly at his wit's end, which is why he came to her for advice.
Has she lost even this little bit of compassion?
Lu Nanchu almost laughed out of anger at his shamelessness: "Aren't you two in close contact? Even you don't know her whereabouts, so why do you think I would?"
Even if she did find out, she wouldn't tell him.
She wasn't generous enough to push her fiancé towards another woman.
"Nan Chu, do you really not know?" Xu Chen's gaze was fixed on her, as if he didn't want to miss any expression on her face. "Or did you always know, but just didn't want to tell me?"
He knew a bit about the struggle between her and Wen Qingyi, but now that Wen Qingyi had disappeared, she shouldn't be so petty as to not even reveal Qingyi's whereabouts, right?
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu chuckled lightly, her laughter filled with sarcasm: "Do you think I'm that bored? You'd be better off spending this time looking in places she used to go or live in, which would be much more efficient than wasting your time here with me!"
She had been hospitalized at the First People's Hospital for so long, how could she know where Wen Qingyi was?
Xu Chen is becoming increasingly out of line.
Seeing that she seemed genuinely unaware, Xu Chen suppressed his doubts, but he was still worried about Wen Qingyi.
Where are you?
...
A few days later, late at night, at the Gong family villa.
Perhaps because there was an extra person in the house, Gong Lian had been coming home late almost every day these past few days, rarely returning on time. As the maid, Wen Qingyi was also responsible for leaving the door open for him and keeping an eye on the villa's security.
Exhausted, Wen Qingyi fell asleep in her room, only to be startled awake by the sound of a car engine coming from the doorway.
She glanced at the time subconsciously; it was already 2:30 a.m.
Wen Qingyi threw off the covers, put on her shoes and clothes, got out of bed and went to the living room. She saw Gong Lian returning drunk, leaning against the wall, his steps unsteady. He quickly caught Wen Qingyi's attention.
"Ah Lian?" Wen Qingyi rushed forward to help him, but as soon as she got close, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol. She frowned and said, "Why did you drink so much? Come on, let me help you upstairs to rest."
As she spoke, she helped Gong Lian upstairs until she helped him to the room they used to live in. For a moment, she was in a daze.
The furnishings here are still the same as before, but everything related to her has disappeared, as if he was determined to completely erase her from his life!
The thought of this made Wen Qingyi's heart ache.
"Water..." Gong Lian was clearly quite drunk, and mumbled, "I want water..."
Completely snapped out of her daze by his murmur, Wen Qingyi quickly went downstairs to pour him a glass of water.
Wen Qingyi held the water glass and pressed the rim of the glass against his thin lips: "Here, drink some water."
Gong Lian gulped down the entire glass of water in no time.
Wen Qingyi was about to leave with the cup when her wrist was quickly grabbed. Before she could react, she was spun around and pinned down by Gong Lian.
"Ah Lian? What are you going to do..." Before she could finish the last word, her red lips were completely sealed by the man.
Wen Qingyi's eyes widened suddenly as she stared blankly at the man on top of her, not daring to move an inch.
