Chapter 46: This war without gunpowder smoke, she decided to participate
"No, thank you. We women should handle our own affairs."
Xu Ruochu turned his head, his smile a little forced.
Seeing this, Gu Yixiao became even more certain in his heart that there must be something going on between her and Lin Yuan, otherwise, she would not have behaved out of character again.
After thinking about it, he decided to pay more attention to these two people whom he thought were quite important.
He raised his eyebrows, didn't ask any more questions, and slowly drove the car towards the hospital.
In the ward.
Lin Yuan, who had been nervous all afternoon, lay on the hospital bed with a dull look in his eyes.
She was afraid that others would notice that something was wrong with her, so she kept her hands clenched tightly into fists under the quilt, digging her nails into her flesh to keep herself awake.
Everything else, such as blood tests, had already been arranged by assistant Li Wei in advance, so there was no need to go for further examinations.
Therefore, no one would be able to find any clues from the test results.
As for Gu Yixiao, as long as he paid a little more attention to her, he would always be able to see something.
Unfortunately, except for talking about the time she saved him, he never laid eyes on her.
The door opened, and Gu Yixiao and Xu Ruchu walked into the ward.
When Lin Yuan saw the two of them, he immediately calmed down and smiled at them.
"Axiao, you come to see me again?"
Her sweet voice made Gu Yixiao frown. He glanced at her arm and said calmly, "If you want to get together with Ruchu, just tell me directly. Why bother drinking alone?"
"I don't want to trouble you."
"I can help you with that." He said, walking to the edge of the bed and personally pouring her a glass of water.
"Thank you, Xiao." Lin Yuan smiled brightly and looked like nothing was wrong.
Xu Ruochu, who was watching the interaction between the two, felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart.
But more important than her inner feelings was that she realized that there was something wrong with Lin Yuan, just like in her previous life, but it was not easy to expose her.
After all, the other party and Gu Yixiao had a good relationship. So she just stared straight at Lin Yuan's somewhat distracted eyes, trying to find any flaws.
As for what it was, she really didn't know. She needed to look at it carefully and think about it.
While Gu Yixiao and Lin Yuan were chatting, Xu Ruochu quietly stepped aside and went to the bathroom.
She continued to observe the person on the bed quietly through the crack in the door until Lin Yuan came to the door and called her.
"Sister Ruchu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, Sister Lin Yuan, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Xu Ruochu slowly walked out of the bathroom and responded politely.
She could see the reluctance beneath her outward appearance of concern, but she didn't care and continued to plan to wait and see what would happen.
"That's good," Lin Yuan smiled and turned to Gu Yixiao and said, "By the way, Xiao, can you buy me some passion fruit? I just asked the fruit shop downstairs, and they're sold out."
"Well, I'll contact another fruit store and ask them to deliver it as soon as possible." Gu Yixiao said, took out his mobile phone, stood up and walked out.
As soon as he left the ward, Lin Yuan approached Xu Ruochu and asked her in a low voice, "Sister, why didn't you answer my call? Why didn't you give me face and come to the hotel to accompany me? I treat you as my own sister!"
"Sorry, I'm busy. So..." Xu Ruochu smiled apologetically and then asked her:
"Sister Lin Yuan, how much did you drink? Why did you break the cup? You have always been recognized as an intellectual beauty. Why would you do something so outrageous just because I wasn't here to accompany you? This is not like you normally~"
"Really? I didn't drink much, I just wanted to talk to you about the time when your brother disappeared."
Her tone became increasingly gentle, sounding like a kind and gentle woman, but Xu Ruchu sensed danger in it.
Sure enough, Lin Yuan smiled, then sighed sadly: "Why do you think the criminals arrested him? To make him mute or blind? You really have to keep an eye on your brother, he might still be in danger..."
Hearing the word "blind", Xu Ruochu was stunned.
When she heard "there will still be danger" again, cold sweat began to break out on her back!
Could it be that she had ordered those thugs to harm her brother? Otherwise, thugs wouldn't blind someone so easily...
"What did you say?! The one who hurt my brother was you! Right?!" She couldn't help but look at the woman with her eyes wide open in excitement.
Seeing Xu Ruochu's look of disbelief, Lin Yuan raised the corners of his lips and smiled proudly: "Guess."
Xu Ruochu was so angry that he grabbed her arm and asked again: "Why did you do this!"
But Lin Yuan's expression changed in an instant, and he fell onto the sofa behind him, "Ah! Sister, don't get excited..."
"But why do you suspect that I hurt your brother?" She asked innocently, "I have no grudge against him, so why are you taking it out on me?"
The more she pretended, the more angry Xu Ruchu became.
She pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, and was about to say something when she heard the door behind her open.
She looked back subconsciously.
Sure enough, it was Gu Yixiao who walked in.
His expression was not very good, and he looked at the two of them with confusion in his eyes: "What's going on?"
The next second, Xu Ruochu suddenly understood something.
It was Lin Yuan who set up the trap. She pretended to be weak on purpose so that Gu Yixiao would see her being "bullied" and hate her as the questioner!
Well, not only did he harm her, but he also dragged her brother into harming her as well. How could she let her go?
She decided to join this war without gunpowder smoke, and she would learn to take the initiative in the future...
So she walked forward without hesitation and gently helped Lin Yuan up. "It's nothing, cousin. I know Sister Lin Yuan is joking. How could my brother's affairs have anything to do with her? So I won't take my anger out on her."
"Brother, look at how well my sister performs. One second she's smiling triumphantly, and the next second she's showing a look of fear."
Then she turned to Lin Yuan and said, "Sister, have you studied at a film academy? Come and teach me. I might want to emulate you in the future and change my career to become an excellent actor."
These few words made Lin Yuan's face turn blue and red, sometimes white and sometimes black, which was very exciting.
She didn't expect Xu Ruchu to react like this.
Shouldn't she try her best to explain to Xiao that there was no such thing? Then Xiao would definitely be skeptical, and then she would be a good person and not make a fuss about it...
But why would that woman point the finger at her now?! This was completely out of her control!
"Sister Lin Yuan, you should go back to bed and lie down first. Don't get down if you're injured. People who don't know would think you were deliberately setting me up. Fortunately, I know you're not that kind of person, and you wouldn't do anything to me, right?"
She turned to look at Gu Yixiao, her eyes full of helplessness: "Brother, please take good care of Sister Lin Yuan and don't let her get out of bed easily. I'm leaving first and will come to see her tomorrow."
"Well, I'll take you there."
Xu Ruochu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the man's brief answer.
When he looked at Lin Yuan, his eyes were filled with the courage and determination to face the challenge: "Okay, cousin, you can give me a ride. I may not be able to get a taxi this late."
