Chapter 678 Fu Chenqing's Persuasion
Sang Ruo didn't know how to answer the question.
All she could do was awkwardly keep saying thank you; there was nothing else she could offer him.
After all, given their respective statuses, even a small token of gratitude would cause a huge uproar if Ayan found out. She really didn't want to upset Ayan again.
Gong Lian was annoyed by her constant thank yous: "Sang Ruo, I didn't save you so you could keep thanking me. If you really want to thank me, please show your sincerity, don't just rely on words."
If you only say it and don't take any action, then it's all just empty words; you don't really want to thank him.
"So, you came to see me today, is there something you want to ask me?" Seeing that he seemed a little impatient, Sang Ruo suddenly changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian was momentarily at a loss for words: "Speaking of which, I do have something to ask you about. It concerns Sang Yuan, the mastermind behind the harm to Bo Jinyan. I have already found him."
“Sang Ruo, this is also your uncle. Before I let you see him, I’ll ask you one last time: are you really sure you want me to hand Sang Yuan over to Bo Jinyan?”
You should know that once someone falls into Bo Jinyan's hands, Bo Jinyan will fight to the death until he gets what he wants.
Unless you confess and admit your guilt, there's no way we'll let you go easily.
Weren't Chen Wanru and Wen Qingyi the same?
In the entire Beijing social circle, who doesn't know how ruthless Bo Jinyan is? Sometimes, compared to him, some are even more ruthless.
They are evenly matched.
Sang Ruo was puzzled: "How did you know that Sang Yuan is my uncle? Did you secretly do a background check?"
That must be it, otherwise how would he know his uncle's whereabouts?
“A simple investigation will tell you. Besides, you all share the surname Sang, which is quite rare.” Gong Lian hadn’t gotten the answer he wanted yet, so he continued to press, “Sang Ruo, you haven’t answered my question yet.”
He wanted to know if she really didn't care about her family at all.
Even if the person who hurt Bo Jinyan was her uncle, she would not hesitate.
Sang Ruo felt there was nothing to say: "I'm sure, because my uncle hurt the man I loved most, and for that reason alone, I can't forgive him."
Moreover, he has a history of gambling debts and now he's trying to hurt Ayan. How could she possibly disagree with handing him over to Ayan?
As Ayan aptly put it, "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze."
She can't always forgive criminals out of fear; that would be womanly compassion, and others would only look down on her.
“But he is, after all, your uncle, and that relationship can’t be broken.” Gong Lian seemed a little surprised by her quick response: “Sang Ruo, don’t you want to reconsider?”
At least in his view, he had to give his family a chance first and couldn't sentence them to death so quickly.
His words displeased Sang Ruo: "Gong Lian, when did you become so indecisive? Apart from A Yan, none of you can understand my feelings for my family."
"You have no idea what I've been through, so please don't judge my decision from your own perspective!"
He is not qualified to judge her like this.
After saying that, she tried to get out of the car alone before Gong Lian could drive off, but Gong Lian locked the car door instantly: "I'll take you home. I'm worried about you going home alone like this."
The white Maserati sped away from Liang Yuxin's house in an instant, and Sang Ruo was taken back to the hospital by Gong Lian.
As soon as she got out of the car, she left without looking back.
But as soon as she entered, she heard a voice behind her: "Sister-in-law, why are you with Gong Lian again today? Does Ayan know?"
This wasn't the first time he'd seen Sang Ruo and Gong Lian together.
If Ayan knew that he had been sick and that his wife was almost stolen away by Gong Lian, he would probably be even more devastated.
Given his current condition, he dared not say.
“Fu Chenqing, this is a long story. It’s not safe here. Let’s go inside and talk.” Sang Ruo looked around for a moment before pulling Fu Chenqing into the hospital. “I ran into Liang Yuxin at the hospital entrance today. She drugged me and kidnapped me.”
"If it weren't for Gong Lian's timely appearance, I don't know if I would have been able to come back today."
In this respect, she was very grateful to Gong Lian. After all, without his protection, she could not have escaped so quickly and safely, and he even helped her resolve any future troubles.
On the other hand, she was genuinely resistant to Gong Lian. She couldn't forget the fact that Gong Lian had once held a knife to her neck, nor could she forget the fact that he had almost taken her.
All that had happened in the past had built a high and thick wall, as if it were an insurmountable chasm between them.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chenqing was taken aback: "Really? Does Ayan know?"
"I don't know yet." Sang Ruo hesitated at this moment: "I'm still wondering whether I should tell him about this."
After all, such a big matter, if left unresolved, would likely deepen the existing misunderstanding between the two of them.
But if she told him, she was afraid that Ayan would find it even harder to accept.
There were already two conflicting forces at play within him, and if he were to find out about this matter, it would only exacerbate his feelings of self-blame.
Fu Chenqing thought, "Sister-in-law, I think you should tell me. Honesty is better than hiding it. Trust me."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Sang Ruo first went to the doctor's office to get the transfer slip before bringing his documents into the ward: "Ayan?"
Bo Jinyan glanced slightly in her direction, but his eyes remained lifeless, unable to see her presence through the darkness.
His tone was indifferent: "What is it?"
“I ran into Liang Yuxin on my way here.” Sang Ruo said quietly with a nervous heart, “She drugged me and took me away from the hospital entrance, then took me to her house. I confronted her for a long time, and suddenly Gong Lian kicked open her door and saved me.”
"Ayan, if Gong Lian hadn't saved me today, I might not be here today."
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan couldn't help but sneer: "So what? You're here to brag to me about how brave Gong Lian is and how timely he arrived, while I'm just a useless piece of trash, relying on you to support me and take care of me!"
He clearly didn't want to say that at all, and he was very worried, but the inferiority complex that surged into his heart at that moment completely overwhelmed his heartache.
In the instant his emotions surged, he wanted to stop the words from slipping out, but it was too late.
He didn't know how he had become like this.
Even he himself felt disgusted with himself!
