Chapter 202 Protecting Her
On the other side, Zheng Lulu still looked very sad and continued to say to Hu Ping: "Hu Ping, how could you treat me like this? I always thought you treated me sincerely... If there is indeed still friendship between the two of you, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Qiao Jin couldn't bear to listen any longer and thought to herself: I didn't expect Zheng Lulu's way of handling the problem to be so poor. She doesn't even have the most basic emotional intelligence?
Just as she was about to say something to ease the situation, Fu Yanlin's voice suddenly interrupted with an unquestionable coldness: "Then take care of your own boyfriend first."
These words were like an invisible slap in the face, mercilessly slapping Zheng Lulu in the face.
His originally calm face now became somewhat distorted and even turned pale because of this sudden humiliation.
"Yan Lin, am I not a victim now?"
Zheng Lulu tried to ask the question in a way that seemed helpless but actually contained strong emotions, as if she hoped that the other party would give her the understanding and comfort she deserved.
However, Fu Yanlin simply stood up calmly, and then walked to Qiao Jin, who seemed to need more care, and asked, "Are you okay?"
He asked gently, his eyes full of concern.
When Qiao Jin looked at the person who had always taken good care of her, a mixture of gratitude and relief flashed in her eyes: "I'm fine...
It’s really nothing serious…” Although she answered like this, she still felt a little uneasy deep in her heart.
"But you obviously don't look good."
After noticing this, Fu Yanlin reached out and gently touched her cheek.
This sudden action caused Qiao Jin's heart to stop for a beat, and then started beating rapidly again.
Then, I heard his firm and warm words: "Don't be afraid, leave the things here to me."
Turning around to face Hu Ping, who was still standing there with an unwilling look on his face, and Zheng Lulu, who was still in an emotional state, Fu Yanlin's expression became more serious than before. "Hu Ping was drunk and had no self-control. He dared to speak rudely to a girl and even touch her. Zheng Lulu, it seems that you have to think carefully about choosing a partner in the future."
Zheng Lulu was very dissatisfied and even angry about such direct criticism and finally couldn't help but burst out: "Yan Lin, are you ignoring the real reason why the incident happened because she stood on the wrong side?"
She questioned fiercely, completely forgetting the vulnerable victim image she had tried to maintain.
In response to this, Fu Hanchen simply responded with silence and was not shaken by it.
He pursed his lips tightly, looking very determined: "If that's the case, then let's check whether the drink Hu Ping drank was tampered with before we decide who is right and who is wrong."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into a suffocating silence.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if the entire space was shrouded in invisible pressure.
Zheng Lulu's face turned pale in an instant, and she clenched her teeth so tightly that she almost drew blood.
Her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. She stared at Hu Ping and said in a much heavier tone, "Hu Ping, are you awake now?"
Hu Ping always mentioned Qiao Jin, and even boasted that Qiao Jin had written him a love letter and how good she was to him when they were in Qiaojia Village.
Thinking of this, Zheng Lulu's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Hu Ping suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He shuddered violently and shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up, and a strong smell of alcohol came out of his mouth.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Hu Ping's voice was a little panicky, and he looked at the people around him, as if seeking answers.
Fu Yanlin stared at him coldly, his voice cold and firm: "Tell me, what's going on between you and Qiao Jin?"
Hu Ping's gaze wandered between Qiao Jin and Fu Yanlin, but he still felt the threat and dissatisfaction in Fu Yanlin's cold eyes.
He reached out and scratched his head, trying to calm himself down, and tried to explain: "Just now I just mistook Qiao Jin for you. We are partners who came from a small village together, and we just wanted to chat and reminisce about the past...
There really isn’t any other meaning to it.”
Facing Fu Yanlin's warning eyes, Hu Ping immediately became alert and raised his hands in surrender: "I really didn't touch Qiao Jin! Look at the slap marks on my face. It was because she slapped me that I finally woke up!"
He pointed to the clearly visible red marks on his face, and his innocent look made people reluctant to blame him too much.
After hearing these words, Zheng Lulu could no longer bear the anger in her heart and almost lost control and shouted out.
Suddenly, she turned around and ran out without any sign of reluctance.
Fu Mingchen, who was standing in the corner, had been watching the development of the farce with great interest. At this time, Hu Ping also noticed that something was wrong and followed him out.
His pants were not yet completely fastened, and the waistband was loose and swayed with his running steps.
"Zheng Lulu, wait for me!"
Hu Ping chased and shouted loudly, hoping to stop the emotional storm that was about to erupt.
At the same time, Qiao Jin, who stayed in the bathroom, felt a sour feeling in her stomach and her face turned pale.
Seeing her like this, Fu Yanlin squatted down, lowered his head and asked with concern: "Qiao Jin, what happened? Are you okay?"
Qiao Jin bit her lower lip lightly, and answered with slightly red eyes: "When I was passing by the bathroom, he accidentally pulled me in."
"Why didn't you call for help?"
Qiao Jin nodded gently, her voice gentle but firm: "I think I can handle this situation, and I don't want people outside to worry about it. And just now I saw you drinking alone at the dinner table, you didn't seem to be in a good mood, so I don't want to add to your troubles. Let's go."
Fu Mingchen, who was standing leisurely at the side, spoke up, his tone was somewhat reproachful but also concerned: "Girl, don't force yourself next time. Even if Hu Ping is useless, he is still a man after all. It is difficult for you to deal with the physical advantages of men with your own strength. If you encounter such a situation again in the future, it is better to ask big brother for help. Big brother can knock down several big men with one fist."
After hearing this, Fu Yanlin turned around and glanced at Fu Mingchen with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.
Fu Mingchen immediately noticed this change and instantly became serious.
Fu Yanlin thought to himself: If he keeps protecting her like this before we even become a family, won’t he hold her in his hands when we really have a family in the future?
