40: C40 An Ordinary Friend

C40 An Ordinary Friend

Cheng Nuo's reaction was even better than Lu Chen's when she saw Fu Qianchen. She rushed out the moment she saw him and raised her hand, wanting to hit him.

Fu Qianchen reached out and grabbed Cheng Nuo's hand. His expression was ugly. "I don't want to hit a woman. Don't touch my bottom line."

"Bottom line?" Cheng Nuo pulled her hand back and pointed at the tip of Fu Qianchen's nose. "Fu Qianchen, you have a bottom line too? Do you know what Yumeng's bottom line is? It's that child! How can you allow Qiao Yurou to hurt her again and again! "

"It's not Xiao Rou's doing!" Fu Qianchen gritted his teeth. Because he was angry, his cheeks puffed up.

"It wasn't made by Xiao Rou?" Cheng Nuo sneered, "Any bad thing is not done by your Xiao Rou. This is our Mr Fu's principle and bottom line."

"You!" Fu Qianchen was angry. He stopped for a few seconds and calmed down. He said, "I came here to ask how things are going."

"Mr Fu, do you believe what you just said?" Fu Qianchen asked. Cheng Nuo looked at Fu Qianchen with a grin as if she had seen a big joke. "Mr Fu, put away your fake kindness. Yumeng doesn't need it."

Didn't she need his concern? When Fu Qianchen heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Soon, he said calmly, "Do you think I want to come?" As he said that, he took out a document. He wanted to throw it on the ground, but he held it back. He stuffed it into Cheng Nuo's hand and turned to leave.

Cheng Nuo was stunned. She looked down at the information in her hands. It was about the girl who appeared in the fridge.

The further she looked, the tighter Cheng Nuo's frown became.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chen walked out after settling Qiao Yumeng down.

"Fu Qianchen gave me a copy of the information." Cheng Nuo said and handed it to Lu Chen, "Dr. Lu, I think there is something wrong with this child's condition in this document. Take a look."

"Yes." Lu Chen looked at it for a while and then looked up at Cheng Nuo. "Heart disease may not necessarily lead to death. If some people can keep taking medicine and maintain a good attitude, they can even live as long as normal people."

"Yes." Cheng Nuo nodded and pointed at a certain place in the data, "Look here, this child was clearly discharged half a year ago but half a month ago, his condition suddenly deteriorated... and..." Cheng Nuo's brows knitted tighter and tighter, "The child's family also paid 400,000 for treatment."

Lu Chen and Cheng Nuo looked at each other at the same time and saw the same guess in each other's eyes.

"This matter has nothing to do with Qiao Yurou. I don't believe it." Cheng Nuo said.

Lu Chen nodded and sighed helplessly. "But Qiao Yurou did it perfectly this time. She used Fu Qianchen as a witness."

"Her methods have always been very brilliant." After Cheng Nuo finished speaking, she thought of Fu Qianchen and added unhappily. "Of course. She and Fu Qianchen. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. If it wasn't for Fu Qianchen believing in Qiao Yurou, Qiao Yurou wouldn't have lied to him so easily."

Lu Chen did not want to interfere in the matter between Qiao Yurou and Fu Qianchen.

Furthermore, from a selfish point of view, he did not want Fu Qianchen to know what Qiao Yurou did. If that was the case, Qiao Yumeng might really let go of Fu Qianchen one day and see his existence.

"But this information can be handed to the police. Maybe they will find out something related to Qiao Yurou." Cheng Nuo said and walked in directly and passed the information to the police.

This information was actually not very useful to the police. It could only mean that the woman might have been enticed by money. That was why she took Qiao Yuxi away.

As for Qiao Yuxi's whereabouts, it was still like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Although Qiao Yumeng had taken sleeping pills, she woke up after sleeping for less than three hours. When the light of dawn broke, she opened her eyes.

Lu Chen, who had been serving her as a human pillow, noticed her the moment she woke up. He opened his eyes and asked her: "You're awake? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"No need." Qiao Yumeng rubbed her temples and remembered the food she had eaten before she fell asleep.

Seeing Qiao Yumeng's expression turn cold, Lu Chen knew that the storm he had been waiting for had arrived.

"Dr. Lu, did you add something to the food I ate?" Qiao Yumeng stared at Lu Chen and told herself in her heart that Lu Chen did that for her own good, but she could not suppress her anger.

Lying was not Lu Chen's forte, and he did not want to lie to Qiao Yumeng, so he nodded and answered, "Yes."

"Why? Qiao Yumeng stared at Lu Chen. She did not know when she had started to trust Lu Chen, but Lu Chen seemed to have let her down.

"I am..."1

"I don't want to hear it!" Qiao Yumeng sternly interrupted Lu Chen, "Dr. Lu, in the end, Yuxi leaving has nothing to do with you. You don't have to keep accompanying me."

One sentence completely denied Lu Chen's long efforts.

"I just think..."

"What do you think?" Qiao Yumeng instantly turned back into the hedgehog that was on guard, "Dr. Lu, you crossed the line."

The moment she said this, Qiao Yumeng regretted it.

It was not that she could not see Lu Chen's good treatment towards her, but she really did not want to have any more entanglements with any other man. Love was something that could only be touched once.

Regret was regret, but Qiao Yumeng felt that this was a good opportunity for Lu Chen to back off. So she continued, "Dr. Lu, I think we are just ordinary friends. I cannot accept your concern."

Ordinary friends? This word sounded too hurtful.

Lu Chen did not dare to say how much progress he had made with Qiao Yumeng, but it was not to the extent that he was still an ordinary friend. His heart was also strong.

"Sorry to bother you." As he spoke, he stood up. When he walked to the door of the police station, he could not help but stop. He turned his head to look at Qiao Yumeng.

Qiao Yumeng did not look at him. She just lowered her head to look at her phone.

Forget it. Lu Chen sighed in his heart and still chose to leave the police station.

After he left the police station, he did not go home nor to the hospital. Instead, he walked aimlessly on the road.

Sometimes, he really envied Fu Qianchen. He could easily capture Qiao Yumeng's heart, but what about him? He had worked hard for so long, but in exchange, he was just an ordinary friend.

The sky had darkened at some point, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Lu Chen looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. He suddenly wanted to go to the seaside and blow the wind.

He stopped a car by the roadside and told the driver that he was going to the beach. He leaned against the window and stared blankly.

But to his surprise, the casual decision to go to the beach actually allowed him to see the middle-aged woman who took Qiao Yuxi away...
