Chapter 37: Lu Xiwán Also Said

"I'll give you one last friendly reminder, Mr. Fu: you can't cover up every hole that Miss Gu has exposed."

As soon as the words fell, an ambulance arrived; Lu Xiwán had no time to bother with them and simply followed the ambulance away.

From start to finish Fu Sijue never got a chance to speak, while Gu Qingmeng single‑handedly staged this whole drama.

"You shouldn't talk to her like that," Fu Sijue said, his face cold; he had only intended to ask Lu Xiwán whether she knew anything.

But Gu Qingmeng, the moment she came up, immediately smeared mud on the other person.

"It must be her!"

"Any evidence? Don't jump to conclusions without any proof; I thought you understood that principle."

Fu Sijue felt a slight displeasure, probably because Gu Qingmeng's tone just now was downright irritating.

Or perhaps Fu Sijue had long mistaken Xi Wan for Lu Xiwán, which is why he was so eager to make up those debts.

Gu Qingmeng was momentarily at a loss for words, "Am I not just caring and causing chaos?"

"One use of the same excuse is enough; tell the 'wolf is coming' story three times and no one will believe it."

Fu Sijue coldly dropped that remark, turned, and left the room.

Only Gu Qingmeng was left, standing dumbfounded in place.

Something seemed to have changed silently, yet she couldn't grasp it no matter how hard she tried.

They could all not go back.

"Is the child okay?"

A sharp smell of disinfectant filled the hospital; the corridors were sparsely trafficked, and occasional cries of relatives echoed, their heart‑rending grief washing over the place.

Fu Sijue's eyes immediately caught Lu Xiwán, anxiously waiting outside; her frail figure gradually matched the silhouette in his memory.

It wasn't until Lu Xiwán lifted her head that Fu Sijue suddenly snapped awake.

No matter how much she resembled her, she couldn't be the same person.

She was probably angry, which is why for so many years she was neither seen alive nor found dead, no word at all, as if she had vanished from the world.

Lu Xiwán saw Fu Sijue appear suddenly and forced out a smile uglier than crying.

"I thought Mr. Fu would stay home and keep Miss Gu company."

I just didn't expect that, One Day, someone would surpass Gu Qingmeng's place in Fu Sijue's heart.

And I never imagined that person would be her.

The thing she once sought but couldn't obtain now lay before her, yet Lu Xiwán didn't even want to glance at it again.

"Someone needs to look after things on this side of the hospital."

"I've already informed Luozhou; Mr. Fu, you should go home and wait for Yao Yao's news."

But there were some words Lu Xiwán couldn't bring herself to say.

She didn't want to get involved with this man, let alone be targeted by that snake‑like woman Gu Qingmeng.

"Shen Shu is looking for you; you can't handle this alone here."

Fu Sijue, as if he hadn't heard, sat beside Lu Xiwán, looking exactly like a relative of a patient.

Lu Xiwán suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

"Mr. Fu, didn't you hear earlier? I've already told my friend to come help."

Fu Sijue never mentioned Gu Qingmeng, leading Lu Xiwán to assume he was shielding her.

This man is truly ridiculous, trailing to the hospital just to protect his little sweetheart.

"Mr. Fu, if you want me not to pursue what just happened, I'm sorry I can't; the one lying in the emergency room right now is my daughter."
