"Just because of that?"
“Yes, that’s why.” An Sze said casually, “Girls’ jealousy is so inexplicable. That’s all the information I got; she has no reason to lie.”
Ouyang Chengyi is spoiled and has a bad temper, but she has always been willing to take responsibility for her actions since she was a child.
"I understand, cough cough—"
His throat tightened, and an uncontrollable itch surged up. Li Jingchen coughed several times before he could stop.
An Sze-tse rarely showed concern for him, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, he probably caught a chill."
"Oh." A light, mocking voice came from the other end of the line. "You went all the way abroad to find Song Nuan? What, even having a beauty in your arms can't warm your body?"
Li Jingchen couldn't hear what he was saying at all; he was chattering away, making a lot of noise.
He remained silent, which emboldened An Sze, who rattled off a string of sarcastic remarks before suddenly having a flash of inspiration and asking, "You've always been in good health, how could you catch a cold? Were you forced to sleep on the floor last night?"
Li Jingchen's head throbbed even more.
"No way, I was right?"
"roll."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jingchen sat for a while to recover. Suddenly, there was a beep, the sound of swiping a door card.
Song Nuan pushed the door open and came in.
He suddenly stood up, and due to the sudden movement, a strong sense of dizziness struck him. Everything in sight was dark, and he subconsciously grabbed the back of the sofa to steady himself.
Song Nuan noticed that something was wrong with him.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Where did you go?
The two voices overlapped simultaneously.
Song Nuan pursed her lips, "Since you're still asleep, I'll go out to eat by myself."
"Just going out for dinner?"
"Otherwise what?" Song Nuan retorted, then realized that the reason was indeed a bit untenable, so she simply said, "Windsor is awake, I'll go to the hospital to see her while I'm there."
The man pursed his lips. "Didn't you go to see Zhou Jing?"
Song Nuanqi smiled.
It turned out that he suspected she had secretly gone to see Ouyang Zhoujing behind his back.
She couldn't quite describe her feelings; she felt both speechless and amused, yet also annoyed and angry. It was enough that a casual remark she made could make him remember it to this day and be on guard at all times.
Li Jingchen lowered his eyes; she was carrying a bag in her hand.
Following his gaze, Song Nuan placed the bag on the table and explained, "I packed this for you. If you don't want to eat it, just leave it. I'll heat it up and eat it tonight."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Li Jingchen grabbed her arm. "I'm sorry."
Song Nuan didn't know what he was apologizing for, and she was too lazy to figure it out.
She broke free from his grasp and retreated back to her bedroom.
The man slumped back onto the sofa, closed his eyes, and felt a pang of regret. He shouldn't have doubted her again and again.
A moment later, Li Jingchen opened the food she had brought back.
It smelled good, but perhaps because he was sick, Li Jingchen had little appetite. After a few bites, he found it tasteless and expressionless. He put it away and threw it in the trash can.
As soon as Song Nuan opened the door, she saw this scene.
Her face was gloomy.
As long as Li Jingchen turns around, he will see her fuming.
But then he turned and went into the study.
What a scoundrel!
Song Nuan cursed inwardly in anger. She had originally wanted to show some concern for him because he was weak, but now she had completely forgotten about it.
If they don't even eat, what could possibly be wrong?
Meanwhile, in the study.
Li Jingchen stood by the window and made a phone call to Ouyang Zhoujing. He relayed An Sze's words to him, "Sze has found out the truth, and that's how it is."
"It's good that it has nothing to do with Cheng Yi."
"You think she bears no responsibility?" Li Jingchen frowned and said in a low voice, "Song Nuan went to see Windsor, she woke up, you take Cheng Yi there and apologize."
Ouyang Zhoujing hummed in agreement, "Then Song Nuan..."
"You should deal with your matter with Windsor first. As long as Cheng Yi doesn't say anything reckless, this matter won't be difficult to resolve."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Jingchen's voice was low and deep, "This was most likely orchestrated by Windsor herself."
Ouyang Zhoujing remained silent.
At that moment, his phone vibrated twice. After reading the text message, Ouyang Zhoujing's expression changed rapidly. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Ah Jing, there is no room for negotiation on this matter."
Hospital.
This is Song Nuan's second visit today.
She sat on the sofa, listening to Ouyang Zhoujing question Windsor, "Did Cheng Yi ask you to go to the activity room?"
"no."
"Did you see the person who locked the door?"
"I didn't see it."
"Since there's nothing there, how can you be sure that Cheng Yi is framing you?" Ouyang Zhoujing smiled, but his eyes were icy cold.
As the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Song Nuan spoke up calmly, "I saw it."
"Nuan Nuan!" Li Jingchen's voice was low and hoarse.
Ouyang Zhoujing looked at her.
Suddenly, he tugged at the corner of his lips, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Song Nuan, that's not what you said yesterday. If you really saw it with your own eyes, why didn't you say so yesterday?"
“Windsor was in a coma yesterday. Didn’t I just say that, like Ouyang Chengyi, it was an unfounded slander?”
"Aren't you like that now?"
Song Nuan casually twirled her long hair with her fingers, paused for a few seconds, then smiled, "Of course, it can be considered as such now. I thought Windsor would know something when she woke up today, but since she herself doesn't know, then I naturally have to prove it myself."
Ouyang Zhoujing smiled.
He already had a charmingly wicked smile, and even Song Nuan was momentarily stunned by it.
Li Jingchen clenched his fists and stood silently beside her.
Windsor suddenly spoke up, "It was definitely not Cheng Yi who asked me to go, and I didn't see her lock me up. The reason I said it was Ouyang Cheng Yi is because she refused to help me in my time of need."
Li Jingchen and Ouyang Zhoujing exchanged a glance.
"Refuse to help someone in distress?"
Song Nuan was curious, since Wen Hua hadn't told her these things beforehand.
Windsor nodded. "Before I passed out, I saw Cheng Yi outside the activity room. The window was sealed shut, so she couldn't hear me, but I breathed on the window and wrote 'SoS,' and she saw it."
There was this unexpected twist.
Song Nuan was inexplicably relieved. At least she hadn't wronged Ouyang Chengyi, had she?
"Are you so sure Cheng Yi saw it?" Ouyang Zhoujing asked with a cold smile.
Windsor was not afraid at all, and even asked cleverly, "Does Ouyang Chengyi dare to say that she didn't know I was locked in the activity room?"
"she……"
Li Jingchen said calmly, "Windsor just woke up, let her rest first. Mr. Wen, shall we talk outside?"
"Can."
The hospital corridors were mostly empty, but not exactly a good place to have a conversation either.
After coming out, Li Jingchen said to Song Nuan, "Go wait for me in the car first."
She said "oh" and turned to leave.
The corridor was suddenly empty except for three men, who stared at each other, their expressions equally matched.
Ouyang Zhoujing spoke first, "How do you want to resolve this?"
Wen Hua smiled and said, “Both of you are smart people. Cheng Yi has hurt my niece several times. Although she is fine, she originally had the opportunity to be selected as a student by a professor from the Supreme Court at this event, but because of this matter, she didn’t even get to meet him.”
“With the Wen family’s connections, getting Windsor into the Supreme Court for further studies shouldn’t be too difficult,” Li Jingchen interjected casually.
"That's certainly possible."
