Chapter 404: Can’t Make A Comeback Anymore
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were only two people in the huge VIP ward. One was still working on his laptop, and the other was sitting on a hospital bed.
An Nuo had a pa.s.sionate personality, but that didn’t mean that she was good at socializing, especially when she was in the same room as her best friend’s brother.
“Actually… I can be alone here,” An Nuo said carefully.
Murong Chen, a powerful figure, was sitting here. Moreover, he’s the President of Shengjing Group. No matter how An Nuo looked at him, she didn’t dare to make a sound.
Murong Chen looked at her distractedly. “Then I’ll go out.”
He could naturally tell that An Nuo was not used to his existence and planned to leave with his things. However, seeing his footsteps, An Nuo thought that Murong Chen was going to the corridor outside. In the end, her brain twitched and she immediately spoke.
“No, no. It’s good that you’re here.” An Nuo was stunned when she said this.
She looked down sharply, trying to hide her annoyance and embarra.s.sment. “I mean, er, that’s all!”
‘Forget it.’ An Nuo thought to herself as she buried her head in the blanket.
Murong Chen was already planning to return to the hotel. When he heard An Nuo say this, he thought that she was still afraid, so he decided to wait for his Little Sister to come.
Fortunately, the awkwardness An Nuo thought she felt did not last long. Not long after, she felt sleepy. It might be the aftereffects of the drug. In short, she fell asleep not long after talking to Murong Chen.
The two of them were fine in the hospital, but Murong Qiao was so tired after a busy day that his eyelids twitched.
By the time she found out what had happened to An Nuo, it was already the next day.
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was as unpleasant as ever. Murong Qiao felt disgusted no matter how many times she came, but she still found the corresponding ward according to the place An Nuo had given her.
“…Big Brother? Why are you here too?” Murong Qiao was surprised.
After all, in her impression, it was a little strange for a busy person like her Big Brother to appear in the hospital.
Murong Chen couldn’t explain in detail. He respected An Nuo and left the opportunity to explain to her.
“Our branch company has been discussing a collaboration here recently,” Murong Chen said briefly. “You talk to An Nuo.”
It was already the limit to make time for An Nuo at night. Murong Chen was mainly here to discuss business, not to mention that he didn’t have much time to rest today.
Murong Qiao watched in confusion as her Big Brother left in a hurry. Then, she turned her gaze to her best friend, An Nuo, who was on the bed.
“Actually, last night…” An Nuo briefly explained what had happened.
She tried her best to speak as calmly as possible, not wanting Murong Qiao to worry about her. However, even with just a few words, Murong Qiao still knew what An Nuo had experienced last night.
The corners of Murong Qiao’s mouth almost instantly fell, and she understood the meaning of An Nuo’s two sentences.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t arrive in time.” Murong Qiao was vexed.
She regretted letting An Nuo go alone at that time and blamed herself for not realizing that this was a trap set by Qing Chuan.
As expected, verbal warnings were still too light for Qing Chuan… Murong Qiao gritted her teeth and secretly sentenced the other party to death.
Some people should suffer a little to know what they could and could not do.
He had the guts to harm An Nuo and even did such a thing—
“It’s fine.” An Nuo smiled.
The night had also allowed her to adjust her mentality. At least, when this matter was mentioned again, An Nuo would not feel especially uncomfortable.
However, Murong Qiao hugged her in the next second. It was very tight. She hugged An Nuo so tightly that An Nuo could feel Murong Qiao’s heartache, frustration, and self-blame.
“If I didn’t make it, then I didn’t make it. I can’t refuse or make excuses just because nothing major happened to you. I always hope that you’ll be fine. I’m sorry, An Nuo. I didn’t protect you well.”
These words were sincere, and they were also Murong Qiao’s thoughts after learning what had happened.
If not for Murong Chen’s presence, the consequences of the matter might have gone to the other extreme. That was something Murong Qiao did not want to see.
An Nuo felt that the emotions she had calmed down all night were easily stirred up again by Murong Qiao’s words.
The knot in her heart that had formed because of this also disappeared because of Murong Qiao’s words.
The hospital ward was filled with warmth. An Nuo and Murong Qiao’s hugging figures looked especially harmonious.
However, Qing Chuan, who had left early previously, didn’t know the aftermath of the matter. He only thought that he had helped An Nuo a lot and even obtained Boss Li’s favor because of this. His footsteps had become much lighter these few days.
However, when he returned to school, he faced the strange gazes of his cla.s.smates.
“You—” Qing Chuan tried to talk.
However, what awaited him was only the reactions of his cla.s.smates. Qing Chuan could even read disdain in everyone’s eyes, which puzzled him even more.
He even touched his face that a girl would definitely like. After taking a selfie and confirming that there was nothing wrong with the smile on his face, he felt puzzled.
When he arrived at the cla.s.sroom, the students looked at him from time to time, and they were even whispering to each other. Qing Chuan was even more puzzled. Even the boys who had asked him to play basketball previously chose the seats furthest from him. It was obvious that they didn’t want to interact with him much.
“Qing Chuan, is what happened on the forum true?” Even the cla.s.s monitor who liked him the most asked with red eyes.
Qing Chuan had an ominous feeling. “Forum?”
He took out his phone and clicked on the link to the forum. When he saw the content of the post on the front page, his mind went blank.
Regarding his “part-time job” and dirtiness, they were all exposed and posted on the forum. The comments were 99+ every second.
The sunny smile on Qing Chuan’s face immediately stiffened a lot. He stared at the students’ comments on the screen in embarra.s.sment. It was unknown if he was angry or afraid, but his entire body was trembling.
“I’m dying of laughter. Is this the male G.o.d you girls like?”
“Previously, I knew that he worked part-time at the bar, but I didn’t expect it to be like this…”
“It’s normal for someone with this appearance to be a kept man. This way, everyone would take care of his business in the future.”
There were definitely many similar comments. In fact, the words of others could be even worse.
“He knows that he’s good-looking, so he decided to cling to the rich women and directly open the fastest path to life, right? To think that I liked him so much in the past. I didn’t expect him to be so cheap. He’s so open with so many people behind our backs. Since he’s so familiar with them, I guess it’s better than hard work. I wish him a prosperous business!”
The popularity of the post has always been high. The more Qing Chuan read, the paler his face became. The image he had painstakingly built up had turned to nothing in this post, and everyone could see Qing Chuan’s true face clearly.
The former Prince Charming, Qing Chuan, was like this behind everyone’s backs. The students exclaimed that their horizons had been broadened.
He subconsciously recalled Murong Qiao’s warning that day. His intuition told him that Murong Qiao must have done this.
However, he was blinded by Boss Li’s money and almost forgot about this matter.
However, Murong Qiao would not let Qing Chuan off, and she had no intention of showing mercy. She placed these things in front of Qing Chuan and slapped him ruthlessly in the face in front of everyone, pressing him into the dirty mud so that he could no longer get up..
