Chapter 782 Finally Meeting
Inside the ward.
Lu Nanchu had already woken up. She stared at the man in front of her, her face full of disbelief: "You... how did you get here?"
According to what my cousin-in-law said, shouldn't Xu Chen be unaware that she was hospitalized?
Why is he here?
Did he discover something?
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Xu Chen was both worried and scared, and a surge of anger welled up inside him: "Lu Nanchu, why didn't you tell me you were hospitalized? And why did you get everyone to help you hide it? Do you even know how long I've been looking for you outside?!"
Did she know that he had practically turned the entire capital upside down to find her?
She's actually hospitalized at the First People's Hospital?! Don't you know?!
His words naturally lumped her together with Bo Jinyan and his wife, instantly turning Lu Nanchu's initially touched expression into a gloomy one: "You went to all this trouble to find me just to say this?"
The first thing he did when he found her wasn't to ask about her health or how she had been doing. Instead, he immediately questioned her about why she hadn't told him.
Why doesn't he think about how she was living like a vegetable before, unable to eat or drink, and even afraid to drink too much water? Where did she get the strength to tell him all this?
Why can't he understand her predicament?
"Stop playing the victim in front of me." Xu Chen was almost certain that she was in cahoots with Bo Jinyan and the others, so even his tone carried a hint of impending storm: "Nan Chu, shouldn't you think of me first when you're in trouble? Why did you go to my cousin?"
And they even made them hide it together? It caused him to search for her for so long, without any results!
How could she possibly understand his despair?
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu found him utterly unreasonable: "I'm playing the victim? Who is it that made me like this? Isn't it all because of you? And now that I'm this sick, this is how you treat me? Xu Chen, do you really still love me? Or has your heart already fallen for another woman?"
Although she didn't explicitly say who this woman was, everyone knew perfectly well who she was referring to.
"Because of me? I wasn't at the Third Hospital, what were you doing there?" Xu Chen felt that she was just making up a nice excuse for her actions: "Don't try to pin all the blame on me for what you've done! You and your father are in cahoots! You're all in cahoots!"
A den of snakes and rats?
He actually used such an adjective to describe himself?
A flicker of sadness crossed Lu Nanchu's eyes, her voice broken yet resolute: "It's been over half a month since we last met, and this is how you think of me? If I'm so worthless in your eyes, then why did you even come to see me?! Get out! Get out!"
She was so angry that she grabbed a water glass from the table and threw it at him!
Xu Chen didn't expect her to be so emotional. Without any warning or dodge, the water glass she threw hit him squarely on the forehead. The glass fell to the ground the instant it touched his skin.
A loud crash, the sound of a glass shattering on the floor, suddenly rang out, attracting the attention of the men in black who had been waiting outside.
The men in black were originally sent by Bo Jinyan to protect Lu Nanchu's safety, and they were always clear about their duties. As soon as they heard the arguing coming from inside, they rushed in: "Miss Lu, is someone causing you trouble?"
"This person has been causing me trouble. Please help me get rid of him." Lu Nanchu was too emotional, but because she was in the recovery period after surgery, she accidentally aggravated the surgical incision, and her face was contorted in pain.
Seeing that she had aggravated her wound, Xu Chen ignored the black-clad man's gaze and rushed to her bedside, squatting down beside her and asking, "Nan Chu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you alright? I'm so sorry..."
He apologized countless times, but compared to the harm he caused Lu Nanchu, it was nothing.
"You're only apologizing now? Where were you before?" Lu Nanchu said irritably, forcing herself to stay ailing. "Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
She had only recently regained her appetite and couldn't eat much, so she seemed somewhat weak and listless.
A hint of heartache finally flashed in Xu Chen's eyes: "I'm really sorry, I was just too angry that you hid it from me, so I acted impulsively..."
The main pressure came from her father, Lu Jinan, who didn't treat her like family at all.
He also wanted to know if she agreed with her father's views.
I didn't expect it to upset her.
"Get out." Lu Nanchu repeated the same thing, unchanged: "Please take him away. I don't want to see him for the time being."
Since Lu Nanchu said this twice in a row, they naturally had no way to refuse. They rushed forward, restrained Xu Chen, and warned, "I'm sorry, Second Young Master Xu, you heard what Miss Lu said. She needs to rest. Please leave here with us."
"No!" Xu Chen struggled incessantly, not wanting to be controlled by them: "I still have some questions to ask, I can't leave yet."
He still hadn't found out why she hadn't told him that she had been staying at the Bulgari Hotel.
Did she move in as soon as she returned to China, or did she move in midway through? How long has she been indirectly monitoring him?
He hasn't even asked about these things yet, how can he leave?
The men in black didn't care whether he had asked about the matter or not. Ignoring his struggles, they each took one arm and dragged Xu Chen away from the ward.
The news that Xu Chen had been kicked out by Lu Nanchu was quickly reported to Bo Jinyan.
After returning from the hospital, he did not go home, but instead had a leisurely afternoon tea with Lu Jinan at the Bulgari Hotel's coffee shop.
Bo Jinyan handed the message to Lu Jinan, who was sitting opposite him: "President Lu, I think that according to your plan, Xu Chen should soon be disliked by Nan Chu, so you don't need to worry."
“He’s just furious right now, only thinking about venting his emotions. He doesn’t care about Nan Chu’s feelings at all.” Lu Jinan was not surprised at all when he heard the news: “I know Xu Chen’s character too well. Given his personality, it was only expected.”
Once he calms down, he will realize what's going on and begin to analyze everything.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan's lips twitched slightly: "It seems that President Lu already knows that Xu Chen knows all this. Does that mean that I have already repaid the debt of gratitude I owed Xiao Ruo?"
This matter was originally just a family affair of the Lu family. The fact that he got involved to this extent is already the biggest concession he has made in consideration of Lu Nanchu's life-saving grace.
