Chapter 764: To Be Threatening Me Like That
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
No one ever told Cen Mo that love never came like a tsunami, instantly destroying one’s mind. Love… only gradually wore down one’s mind over time. Only when one looked back would they realize the moment when their heart throbbed, it was destined that rational senses no longer controlled the events that would unfold.
Lu Jinnan was right, Cen Mo was venting his anger on her.
It was extremely quiet outside the operating room. Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian sat on a long bench, while Lu Jinnan sat on the other end, sending out messages on his phone with his head lowered. He was informing Fu Huai’an that Lin Nuan was doing fine.
“What did Li Muyang say to you when he looked for you?” Lin Nuan gazed in Cen Mo’s direction, her voice no longer trembling like when she was talking to the doctor earlier. “Or what kind of trade did you agree upon with him that made Song Yao want to hit him at all costs?”
In Cen Mo’s dark vision were Lin Nuan’s pretty and clean eyes. His cold voice sounded a little sinister as he said, “Li Muyang has something I want, while he wants you…”
Cen Mo didn’t tell her any specifics.
“So, you want something that Li Muyang has and were planning on cooperating with him. Song Yao couldn’t talk you out of it, so she was fl.u.s.tered and could only hit him with her car?” Lin Nuan calmly said, then paused for a moment. However, she still couldn’t hold back the emotion in her voice. “On the one hand, there was her lover, and on the other, there was her friend. I was the one who forced Song Yao into a dead end, but you’re the one who hurt her most!”
Lin Nuan’s face was cold, her gaze at Cen Mo even sharper now. “I’ve always felt that I shouldn’t interfere in my friends’ relations.h.i.+p affairs, but there are some things that I’ve wanted to say since I delivered Song Yao’s clothes to her at the Century Hotel!”
Their eyes met. Cen Mo couldn’t suppress the emotions churning in the depths of his eyes.
Lin Nuan slowly got up. “Song Yao’s mother was forced to her death by a third party, so she hates third parties to her core. She loves you, but despite knowing how her mother pa.s.sed away, you made her a third party! You’re twisted and filthy inside and out! After Song Yao recovers, if you dare touch her with your filthy hands without her consent, I’m going to hire someone to claim one of your legs!”
Lin Nuan’s voice was slightly sharper in that last line. Blood had rushed to the top of her head and was constantly making a “weng” sound in her head.
The large and small scars on Song Yao’s body vividly reappeared in Lin Nuan’s mind… She was so agitated that her ears had turned red, and her clenched fists were shaking with anger.
Bai Xiaonian didn’t know what happened at the Century Hotel, but when she looked at Lin Nuan and linked it to the word hotel, Bai Xiaonian, who was no bimbo, managed to draw a connection!
“I want to sponsor the mid leg!” Bai Xiaonian’s gaze was dark, not fearing the imposing aura given off by Cen Mo at all.
Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian’s threats were a bit of a joke in Cen Mo’s eyes.
“To be threatening me like this, aren’t you afraid that your husband’s ident.i.ty as Mr. Moral will be exposed?” The b.a.l.l.s of anger in Cen Mo’s chest knocked against each other, making his ribs hurt. Yet he forced himself to hold back the laughter that arose out of extreme anger. His vision swept over Lu Jinnan, then he said to Bai Xiaonian, “You sure talk big!”
Cen Mo knew very well that Fu Huai’an was Lin Nuan’s soft spot, just like Song Yao was his.
Lin Nuan paused for a moment, for she hadn’t expected that Cen Mo would drag Fu Huai’an into this. She was unable to suppress her emotions. She looked straight at those fierce eyes and sneered. “Just based on your capabilities? What right do you have to compare yourself to my husband? Expose? Hur… I’m afraid that before you get to open your mouth, you won’t ever get the chance to open your mouth again! Cen Mo, this is Haicheng!”
This was the first time that Lin Nuan had threatened someone without any fear.
“Mr. Cen, it seems like you’re asking us to help you arrange your home in Haicheng. Phoenix Garden’s land isn’t considered expensive…” Lu Jinnan smirked.
Phoenix Garden was a plot of burial land in Haicheng.
Inside the operating room, Bai Jinyu managed to find the spot where hemorrhage occurred and was busy rescuing Song Yao, going about the procedure in an orderly manner.
Outside the operating room, Cen Mo and the others were baring their fangs at each other, the atmosphere freezing at a critical point.
The door to the operating room opened once more, breaking the tense atmosphere outside.
It was an a.s.sistant nurse that Bai Jinyu sent out to inform Lin Nuan and gang about what was going on. The two hemorrhage spots inside Song Yao’s skull had been found, and there wouldn’t be any major problems, so he asked them not to worry.
Lin Nuan heaved a sigh of relief and nearly fell into the chair. Her palms were covered in sweat as she held hands with Bai Xiaonian.
Cen Mo felt relieved too, his throat vibrating slightly.
Those few people who were confronting each other had calmed down a little when told that Song Yao’s hemorrhage spots were found.
When Song Yao left the operating room, she was rushed into the ICU, and no one could meddle in this.
Through the window, Bai Xiaonian saw that Song Yao had some bruises on her face too. She said to Lin Nuan, “Go back first! Today is the day of your wedding. I’ll stay vigil here. No one will dare to mess around!”
Bai Xiaonian glanced at Cen Mo meaningfully.
“But aren’t you about to…”
“I’ll just reschedule the flight!” Bai Xiaonian glanced at Song Yao. “Song Yao has yet to wake up, so how could I leave?”
Seeing that Lin Nuan was still hesitating, Lu Jinnan said, “I’ll stay and keep Xiaonian company. Today is the day of your wedding with Old Fu, so it’s not appropriate for you to be away for so long!”
Lin Chen placed a hand on the top of Lin Nuan’s head. “Let’s go! I’ll send you back! Song Yao hasn’t come to yet, so there’s not much point in you staying around here. Just keep in touch with Bai Xiaonian at all times and get an update on Song Yao’s condition!”
Lin Nuan still hesitated. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Bai Jinyu came over, fixing his collar while saying, “Sis-in-law, go back first! Me staying vigil around her is more useful than you being here! It’s your wedding today, and Old Lu is right, it’s not appropriate for you to be out so long!”
Being in the same s.p.a.ce as Cen Mo in the hospital, Lin Nuan couldn’t help feeling furious.
After a long while, Lin Nuan looked deeply at Song Yao then nodded. She then said to Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan, and Bai Jinyu, “Let me know once Song Yao wakes up or there’s a change in her condition!”
To conceal her worry, she restrained her voice, sounding just like she used to back when she was broadcasting news.
“Your phone!” Bai Xiaonian rummaged through her bag and found Lin Nuan’s phone, giving it back to her.
There were a few missed calls from Bai Jinyu. Seeing her phone still on silent mode, Lin Nuan looked at Bai Jinyu apologetically and switched out of silent mode. “Then… I’ll get going first!”
Bai Xiaonian nodded.
Before she left, Lin Nuan took a look at the man standing at the window, who had his hands in his pockets and was staring fixedly at Song Yao. She then left with Lin Chen, fists clenched at her sides.
On the way back, Lin Nuan’s mind was all jumbled up.
Regarding Fu Huai’an’s ident.i.ty as Mr. Moral, Lin Chen had talked with Lin Nuan about this previously, so he didn’t ask anything further.
Lin Nuan got into the car. With the warm breeze gently blowing against her face, she began to feel exhaustion setting in.
She leaned her head against the car window, the window reflecting the outline of her face.
Outside the car window, pedestrians and cars pa.s.sed by. On the sidewalk was the acc.u.mulated snow that had yet to melt, and there was the lingering scent of Christmas…
