At this time, she received a text message saying that someone had arrived and was just opposite Yinghao, asking her to go over. Lu Xiao walked out of Yinghao's gate without thinking and walked towards the opposite side. There were not many vehicles on both sides, so Lu Xiao dared to walk. Who knew that after walking a few steps, a black car appeared from nowhere, the headlights were dazzling, Lu Xiao was distracted and slipped, and it was too late to hide when she reacted.
With a thud, she was knocked far away.
But at that time she still had some consciousness, and she struggled to stand up from the pool of blood, and looked up to see someone getting out of the car. The man in black walked to her side, leaned over to take a look, and said something coldly.
When Lu Xiao thought about it carefully, that sentence seemed to become clear.
"Lu Xiao? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Qing saw Lu Xiao frowning and sweat on his forehead.
Lu Xiao came back to her senses and glanced at Lin Qing: "I just woke up, and you didn't say anything nice." She thought for a moment and said, "I'm hungry, go buy me something to eat, I don't want to eat in the hospital."
Lu Xiao made a very disgusted expression.
Lin Qing agreed with a smile, stood up and was about to leave, but Mu Li stood there without moving.
"Go quickly, your husband won't get lost if he stays here." Lu Xiao urged, rubbed her hungry stomach, waved at Lin Qing, and drove her out impatiently.
Lin Qing looked at Mu Li: "Then I'll go buy it, you wait for me."
Mu Li hummed.
After Lin Qing left, Mu Li confirmed from the sound of her footsteps that she had gone far away, and then he spoke coldly to Lu Xiao on the bed: "You sent her away on purpose, what do you want to say?"
Lu Xiao put one hand on her flat belly and the other hand behind her head: "There are some things I don't want her to know. Although I don't like you very much, I don't want to see any problems between you."
"Get to the point." Mu Li didn't have much patience.
Lu Xiao recalled the scene of the car accident and frowned: "Mr. Mu, the person who hit me was sent by you, right?"
Mu Li raised his lips: "What else do you want to say?"
Lu Xiao showed disdain on his face, and his mouth twitched because of the pain on his body: "You asked your men to text me to go to Yinghao, gave me free wine to get drunk, and then asked me to cross the road, and then sent someone to drive a car to hit me to death. By then, even if there is a problem, no one will suspect it, because I was alone from beginning to end, and a car accident can easily be ruled as an accident."
Mu Li's expression did not change, his voice was cold: "Go on."
Lu Xiao was unsure of Mu Li's attitude, but she did not back down. "The man who hit me got out of the car later, walked up to me and said, 'How dare you to sow discord between Mr. Mu and his wife?' I think that man probably thought I was going to die, so he said it without thinking too much."
Unfortunately, she was lucky and didn't die.
After hearing this, Mu Li's lips curled up elegantly and coldly: "Just based on these, you dare to say that I did this."
If what Lu Xiao said was true, then the whole incident did sound somewhat authentic, but Mu Li was not stupid enough to that extent.
Lu Xiao frowned, annoyed by his denial: "If it wasn't you, who would know that the ring was related to me in such a short time and send someone to hit me? It can't be that Lin Qing is just teasing me out of boredom, right?"
She did think that if the ring was found to be fake, Mu Li might be angry, but she also wanted Lin Qing to hold the ring to speak with confidence. Maybe when Mu Li saw that Lin Qing had gone through so much trouble to find the ring, he would be moved and cry, and the two would reconcile.
Who knew that this man not only didn't appreciate it, but also asked someone to hit her.
Hearing what she said about Lin Qing, Mu Li frowned: "This matter has nothing to do with Lin Qing."
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "So you admit that it has something to do with you?"
Mu Li crossed his arms and looked down at Lu Xiao: "If I want you to disappear, there are ten thousand better ways than this."
"Then you should change your approach. You sent someone to hit me but I didn't die. Your method is too unskillful! The person who hit me said he was Mr. Mu's man, and besides you, who else would have such a deep hatred for me because of a ring?" Lu Xiao was angry and couldn't help but raise his voice. He looked at Mu Li fearlessly and looked quite imposing.
What Lu Xiao said was not wrong. All signs indicated that Mu Li was the most suspicious one.
Mu Li was too lazy to explain, but he didn't want Lin Qing to misunderstand him: "I will check this matter thoroughly."
Lu Xiao rolled his eyes: "Check it out? Could it be that the surveillance video was lost by chance?"
She really got it right.
Mu Li sneered: "You speak so convincingly, I wonder if you and Chen Qudong have colluded to perform this drama."
Lu Xiao got furious when he heard this. When he stood up, his face twitched in pain. "Am I sick? Is there no benefit in colluding with others to commit suicide? If I hadn't seen Lin Qing's lost ring and was distracted, I wouldn't have thought of this idea!"
Mu Li had known for a long time that this matter was related to Chen Qudong, but he was not sure whether Lu Xiao knew about it. Seeing that Lu Xiao did not seem to be pretending, and she also considered not wanting Lin Qing to know, Mu Li judged that it was probably Chen Qudong's own plan.
Chen Qudong was really ruthless. If he had not controlled the impact well, Lu Xiao would not have had the chance to lie on the hospital bed and get angry.
"You also know that it will not benefit you. Then what do you think will be good for me if I sent someone to hit you and it can be discovered so easily?" Mu Li thought in his heart that Chen Qudong would definitely be in trouble in the future after doing this.
Lu Xiao waved her hand in excitement, and her elbow accidentally hit the corner of the table. It hurt so much that she burst into tears: "How should I know?"
Looking at her expression, Mu Li felt that it was useless to say more now. He looked at her coldly and said nothing more.
The room suddenly became quiet, and there was a sudden sound outside the door, like a plate falling to the ground.
Mu Li narrowed his eyes slightly and then saw the figure standing at the door.
Soon the nurse's voice sounded at the door: "Are you okay? Why are you so careless? You go in first, and I'll clean up the things on the floor."
The door of the ward opened silently, and Lin Qing stood at the door in a daze.
Lu Xiao was still rubbing his arm. He leaned forward and glanced at the door. When he saw the person at the door, he paused and glared at Mu Li.
Mu Li looked sinister, and he looked outside the door, and saw the nurse picking up the food that had fallen outside. He suddenly remembered that he had told the hospital two days ago to prepare three meals a day for Lu Xiao on time. It seemed that Lin Qing was about to go out to buy food, and when he saw the nurse bringing it in, he brought it back.
I don't know how long she stood at the door, and how much she heard.
"What were you talking about just now?" Lin Qing looked towards Mu Li, eager for an answer.
Tell her that what she just heard is not true.
"It's okay." Lu Xiao looked up at the IV bottle. The liquid inside was almost gone. "Lin Qing, help me call the nurse to change the medicine."
She didn't know whether she needed to change the medicine or not, she just wanted to get rid of Lin Qing temporarily so that she could rehearse the lines with Mu Li. Although it was Mu Li who did it, since she was lucky, there was no need to mess with the relationship between the couple. At worst, she could trick Mu Li.
However, Lin Qing did not move: "Really... Was the person who hit you sent by him?"
This sentence was obviously directed to Lu Xiaowen.
Lu Xiao withdrew his gaze from the IV bottle and touched his nose: "No."
Lin Qing knew that whenever Lu Xiao touched his nose, he was lying, a habit that even Lu Xiao himself didn't notice.
Mu Li did not explain. He stood upright opposite the bed and looked at Lin Qing. He suddenly wanted to know whether this woman had the so-called trust in him.
Lin Qing felt as if her head exploded with a buzzing sound, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't walk. She turned her eyes to Mu Li steadily, and couldn't stop trembling: "Why... It's just a ring, if you don't like it, you can throw it away... Why do you do this?"
She couldn't believe it, but she had heard their conversation clearly from outside. Lu Xiao's words "People say she's Mr. Mu's woman" kept echoing in her ears, making her head ache.
That was her friend, the friend who had stood in front of her and spoken for her so many times! Was he going to be innocently deprived of his life just for a cold ring
Lin Qing couldn't believe it and his body trembled even more violently.
"Lin Qing." Mu Li's voice was low and hoarse. He felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw Lin Qing's expression. "Do you think I did it?"
If Lin Qing really believed those lies, no matter how much she loved Mu Li, she would not be able to stay by his side like before. As long as she closed her eyes, she could see the moment when Lu Xiao was pushed out of the operating room, his pale face on the hospital bed, almost losing all the color.
This matter will always stand between them, like a barb piercing their hearts.
She couldn't imagine what Lu Xiao was thinking when he was hit. The fear of being swallowed by darkness bit by bit can only be understood by those who have been close to death. Lu Xiao, who has always been brave, must have felt scared at that moment because he couldn't escape no matter how hard he struggled.
Lin Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a suffocating shadow.
"I don't believe it... I don't believe it..." Her lips were trembling, and her voice became hoarse and dry, "But... what can I do to stop believing it?"
Her voice was as light as a cicada's wing, floating in the air and could disappear at any time. But her words were like a poisonous snake wrapped around Mu Li's heart, and every word was a fatal pain.
Who said that once you fall in love, you lose.
He will definitely lose this fight.
Yes, she had no reason not to believe it. She knew how cruel Mu Li was. He had the heart to watch her fall pale and powerless in front of him, to bear the fact that she got caught in the rain and had a fever of 39 degrees and remained indifferent, to bear the fact that he used the cruelest words to hurt her heart when she wanted to stay again and again.
Is there anything he can't do
she does not know.
At this moment, she forgot everything. The tenderness in his eyes at noon seemed like a few centuries ago. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his big hands gently rubbed her hair. What was he thinking at that time
Did you approach her because you felt guilty for bumping into her friend
Lin Qing felt like her heart was about to split open and hot blood was spilling out.
"Is this what you call love? As long as someone says something casually, you can immediately point the finger at me, right?" There was a cold smile on Mu Li's lips, and his eyes were terrifyingly sinister.
Lin Qing said that if you don’t like the ring, you can throw it away.
The man suddenly remembered what Chen Qudong said to him downstairs in the inpatient department at noon.
