Chapter 222:
It Doesn’t Seem Like Nonsense

Lin Qianchen looked scanned Mo Lusu from head to toe. She did not seem to realize that a large group of people was standing right behind her.
“If I remember correctly, Doctor Mo, you’re Doctor Shui’s Senior Brother and it was also your strong support that proved her father had been poisoned by a slow-acting drug in Shui Anluo’s lawsuit. If you think about it, you must really like Doctor Shui, Doctor Mo,” Lin Qianchen spat mockingly.
Shui Anluo never expected Lin Qianchen to say such a thing. She was clearly annoyed.
Mo Lusu smiled indifferently. “These issues don’t seem to be related to the topic that we’re about to discuss.”
“How’s it not related? Doctor Mo, isn’t this crusade all for Shui Anluo’s sake? I had simply written a report. Even if you have feelings for Doctor Shui, you can’t just overthrow justice and accuse me. Am I right?” Lin Qianchen replied with a slight sharpness in her voice.
Shui Anluo was annoyed. Just as she was about to dash over, Chu Ningyi held her back by her arm.
“Have you forgotten what I’ve said? Put your fuse away.” Chu Ningyi frowned. This little girl’s temper really was the type that would explode when left unsupervised.
“But she’s spouting nonsense,” Shui Anluo growled. She had already restrained herself when Lin Qianchen insulted her but she could not insult her senior brother.
“It doesn’t seem like nonsense.” Chu Ningyi bent over slightly and murmured into her ear.
Shui Anluo trembled, partly because of the warmth he emitted when he whispered into her ear and even more so due to what he had said.
Senior Brother has feelings for her. Actually, she was aware of that fact. However, despite that knowledge, there was a difference between saying it out loud and feigning ignorance. The thing was, she had feigned ignorance because she could not give anything back to her senior brother or return any of his feelings.
However, this meant that Chu Ningyi had bluntly revealed that fact now.
Shui Anluo pursed her lips. She lowered her eyelids and did not look at him.
Chu Ningyi did not make things difficult for her. Some things only needed to be pointed out and did not need any further explanation.
Mo Lusu frowned and Qiao Yaruan laughed icily. “Doctor Lin, there’s no point talking about this. We’re here to discuss the report, why drag other matters into this?”
“Alright, let’s talk about the report first, what would you like to say, Doctor Mo? Were you going to tell me that the source had come from the recent medical summit?” Lin Qianchen spoke haughtily. “Then, Doctor Mo, you probably think that I shouldn’t be aware of this matter but Shui Anluo was so I had plagiarized her, right?”
Lin Qianchen had clearly pulled herself up to a high position with these words and Mo Lusu had been slapped with the fame of being in love with the girl. This way, no matter what Mo Lusu said, it would be seen as simply trying to absolve Shui Anluo of the blame.
Qiao Yaruan’s anger was now bubbling in her chest. She had witnessed thieves calling out other thieves but no one has been as wicked as this.
Mo Lusu reached out and grabbed Qiao Yaruan’s arm though he remained as calm as ever. “Doctor Lin, since you’ve put it that way, why don’t we discuss the source of the content in that report?”
Lin Qianchen stared at him confidently and smirked. “What would you like to discuss?”
Shui Anluo pursed her lips as she watched them. If Lin Qianchen had the guts to show the report, she must have some understanding of its content. Would this form of confrontation be effective at all?
Chu Ningyi looked down and fiddled with Shui Anluo’s hand as if the situation that was unfolding over there did not concern him at all.
Mo Lusu frowned, Lin Qianchen was more difficult to deal with than he had expected.
“Lin Qianchen, you claimed that Luoluo had plagiarized you. That means that you’d handed in the report before she did, correct?” Mo Lusu suddenly asked.
