Chapter 742 Why?
Ling Yuan watched her meticulously apply the medicine, unable to hide the smile on his face, and continued:
"Besides, I was just helping to pass on a message. The fall was an accident. It was my own carelessness. It has nothing to do with this matter."
"Why does it not matter?"
Liu Wenpei suddenly became unhappy and looked at him with a frown:
"If you hadn't delivered the message, would you have fallen like this?"
"Well... look at what you said. Don't say it again next time. It's not polite. What if Uncle Lu and Xiaobao hear it? We helped, it was originally a good thing, don't let it make everyone unhappy later."
Liu Wenpei pursed her lips and looked at him, then lowered her head silently and stopped talking.
The small, large courtyard room was silent for a moment, and Ling Yuan said:
"When I came back the other day, I heard that Baichuan was very ill. He's such a small child... Have you visited him these days?"
"How can I have the time to go? You have to go to school, and I have to work in the cafeteria, right?"
Ling Yuan nodded, thinking so, and said:
"Then let's go and have a look later. It just so happens that I'm off today and you've also taken a leave and are back."
“…”
Liu Wenpei suddenly became speechless again and didn't say a word.
Ling Yuan didn't get a response, so he looked down at her with his neck bent:
"Why aren't you talking? Didn't you like going there before?"
Liu Wenpei looked at him and quickly looked away.
She was about to say something when Ling Yuan asked again:
"You don't still remember what happened before, do you?"
"No."
Liu Wenpei subconsciously rejected it:
"There are only a few people in the cafeteria. I have to cook for so many people. I'm exhausted from getting up early and working late every day. Besides, Xiaobao is well educated, but I'm not. I can't go with her."
"It's not like she has a higher degree than you in a day or two. Wasn't everything fine before?"
Liu Wenpei tried hard to explain why she didn't go to the Fu family.
Ling Yuan listened to it and thought they were all minor problems.
But he could sense her resistance and he didn't want to force her, so he changed his angle and said:
"We're close, and we live so close. If you really don't like it, it's okay if you don't want to go. But when an elder or a child is sick, you still have to deal with it. Otherwise, won't it become alienated?"
Unable to refuse, Liu Wenpei could only nod dejectedly.
Seeing that she could understand his reasoning, Ling Yuan's smile became more genuine.
After that, they chatted about all sorts of things and the atmosphere in the room became a little better.
But somehow the topic suddenly turned to the incident of the Fu family being reported a few days ago.
Ling Yuan said, "Uncle Lu used some tricks and got information from the Public Security Bureau. He said that the person who reported it was a young female lesbian. It's very likely that it was us... Ouch!"
Liu Wenpei's hand trembled, pulling up a layer of black scab on Ling Yuan's leg, and blood beads immediately appeared.
She hurriedly covered the wound with her hand, then realized something was wrong and quickly pressed it with a cotton swab.
Ling Yuan thought that the bleeding was what made her panic.
He smiled and pinched her braid, saying softly, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt," and continued to think about continuing the previous topic:
"I think the person who reported it is most likely a neighbor in this area. Only those who know each other know about the situation. If you live farther away, everyone knows each other. Who would care about such a thing?"
Let’s talk about reporting it. It’s okay if you report the person and put him in jail.
If the report fails, aren’t you afraid of retaliation?
The air suddenly seemed to freeze, and Liu Wenpei lowered his head and said nothing.
Ling Yuan asked her: "What do you think?"
Liu Wenpei looked up at him, opened his lips but said nothing, then lowered his head again.
Ling Yuan looked confused. Seeing that she was not in a good mood, he coaxed her slowly:
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
After being asked several times, Liu Wenpei seemed to be dumb and remained silent.
Ling Yuan was stunned at first, but after considering the details, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Every time he talked about the Fu family, she acted very strange.
When it comes to reporting, she reacts the most strongly.
At first I thought it was still because of the clothes incident last time.
Now thinking about it carefully, Ling Yuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Pulling her hand to apply the medicine, Ling Yuan's expression suddenly became stiff and serious:
"You told me that this matter has nothing to do with you, right?"
Liu Wenpei paused, looked at him, and then quickly looked away.
The denial was swift:
"No, it has nothing to do with me! I didn't do it!"
Ling Yuan shuddered, and the hairs on his back stood up all the way to the back of his head.
As if the answer had been given, she lowered her thick eyebrows and shook her head in disbelief.
But he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. He held her wrist tightly and continued to ask:
"As long as you say it has nothing to do with you, I will believe you. Tell me, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
“I, I…”
Liu Wenpei looked at him with tears on her face. She only uttered the first of the three words "It's not me" intermittently.
Ling Yuan loosened his grip and grabbed the hair on both sides of his earlobes with both hands. His ears were tinnitus and his head was buzzing.
He subconsciously moved to the side to distance himself from her.
He held his head in his hands and kept shaking his head.
Confused, puzzled, doubtful, shocked, unbelievable, and so on.
Why?
Why do this?
Ling Yuan couldn't understand.
Is it still because of that dress?
He thought it was impossible, but there seemed to be no other explanation.
But, but...
It’s just a set of clothes!
How could she?
How could that be?
Ling Yuan felt as if something in his heart had collapsed.
I just can't convince myself to believe the facts before my eyes.
He sat on the bed, moving frequently to the corners.
"Ling Yuan, please don't be like this, okay? I'm scared..."
Liu Wenpei noticed that he was acting strangely, and was a little afraid that he would become estranged from her, so she immediately squatted down and slowly approached him:
"Please listen to my explanation first. I, I really didn't expect it to be like this at first. I just..."
Ling Yuan pushed her hand away and shook his head repeatedly:
"You're lying to me! You didn't do this. You just said that, didn't you? Pepe, why did you do this?"
He contradicts himself.
He wanted to deceive himself that this was fake, but he couldn't do it.
He didn't even dare to think about the consequences of this matter.
The two families have such a good relationship, and the Lu family takes so much care of his family.
His wife got her job through the Lu family.
But what did they do?
How will he face Xiaobao in the future?
How to face Fu Jingyou?
Ling Yuan had a layer of sweat on his forehead. He repeatedly pushed away Liu Wenpei's outstretched hands and refused her touch.
Seeing him like this, Liu Wenpei was really a little scared.
She called Ling Yuan's name and wanted to explain something.
Suddenly, a soft "thump" sound came from the windowsill on the pile of debris at the door.
They both turned their heads.
It was Ling Yuan who reacted first and limped out of the door.
On the windowsill, a large bowl of chicken soup with ripples of oil was quietly placed there.
