She drank a few more mouthfuls and was about to push it away when …
Fu Huai 'an coaxed her to drink a few more mouthfuls, and as he coaxed her, Lin Nuan drank half the cup.
Her body felt warm, and Lin Nuan grabbed Fu Huai 'an's strong arm. She looked at the steam rising from the cup and smelled the aroma of the milk. She said, "Huai' an, I know you're in a difficult position regarding Xiao Bai and Lu Jinnan. I don't expect you to stand on my side, because Lu Jinnan is an especially important friend to you. I just hope … you don't interfere! Is that all you want? "
Fu Huai 'an pursed his lips and swallowed back the words he wanted to defend Lu Jinnan. "Drink a little more …"
Fu Huai 'an didn't give Lin Nuan a direct answer, and Lin Nuan didn't force an answer. She looked down at the milk in front of her and opened her mouth to take a sip, but her eyes were as calm as still water.
After drinking the milk, Lin Nuan still didn't ask Fu Huai 'an for an answer. She merely pushed away the sandwich Fu Huai' an brought to her mouth and said she had no appetite, wanting to wait outside the operating room for Bai Xiaonian to come out.
Lin Nuan stood up, but Fu Huai 'an grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap. He hugged her tightly and said, "Xiao Nuan, let's have a good talk … about Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan calmly."
Lin Nuan clenched her fists, feeling a little pain. She nodded. "Okay …"
Maintaining the position of holding Lin Nuan in his arms, Fu Huai 'an said, "Xiao Nuan, first of all, I don't believe Lu Jinnan would force himself on Bai Xiaonian …"
Hearing this, Lin Nuan couldn't stay in Fu Huai 'an's arms any longer. She stood up and clenched her fists, tears welling up in her eyes. "Fu Huai' an! Even Lu Jinnan admitted it himself, and you still want to defend him? Bai Xiaonian jumped down from a building and is now lying in the operating room. You're telling me you don't believe it? Then what do I have to do for you to believe it? You can't even win a lawsuit before you believe it? "
Regardless of the truth, Fu Huai 'an knew he was in the wrong for speaking up for Lu Jinnan. His brows furrowed and, ignoring Lin Nuan's resistance, pulled her into his arms again.
Lin Nuan couldn't break free. She bit her lip and sniffled. "I only ask you not to ask about this! Don't interfere in this matter. Fu Huai 'an, ask yourself honestly, is this request too much? My best friend is lying in the operating room right now, and your friend is standing there pretending to be a dog, completely unharmed! Bai Xiaonian is no different from my older sister. All these years, she's the one who's supported me through all the troubles, big and small. Without Bai Xiaonian … I would've died countless times in despair! "
Lin Nuan recalled all the things Bai Xiaonian had done for her in the past, and her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. She wished she was the one lying in the operating room right now.
"Then I only have one request from you. Don't interfere in this matter!" Fu Huai 'an gazed into Lin Nuan's eyes and said, "Bai Xiaonian is your best friend. Lu Jinnan is the same to me! Xiao Nuan … since you asked me not to interfere in this matter, then it's only fair that you don't interfere as well. "
"Fair?!" Lin Nuan's entire body was trembling as if she had heard a joke. She struggled with all her might to break free from Fu Huai 'an and stand up. "Fu Huai' an, you're talking to me about fairness? Let me tell you what fairness is! Fairness is when your friend also suffers a penis injury and jumps off the building, ending up lying in the operating room like Bai Xiaonian. That's fairness! Bai Xiaonian is lying there now … and I don't care? Who cares if I'm asking you? Let Bai Xiaonian fend for herself? You sure have a good plan! "
"Lin Nuan, I know you're upset that something happened to Bai Xiaonian, but what we need to do now is to deal with the aftermath rationally and not act based on our emotions! The worst thing to do when something happens is to be rash and not calm down. If you're not calm, things will go awry! "Fu Huai 'an was angered by Lin Nuan's words as well. He stood up, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Lin Nuan had nowhere to vent her pent-up anger, so her words inevitably sounded harsh. "Things go awry? Whose business was he spoiling?! Lu Jinnan's business? I've long known that you're not the kind of lawyer who upholds national justice! Lu Jinnan killed someone, and you had both the witness and the material evidence, yet you were able to defend his innocence! Not to mention that it was just rape. That's probably nothing in your eyes! Even if it's my best friend who was hurt! "
In a fit of anger, Lin Nuan didn't listen to Fu Huai 'an at all. She slammed the door of the stairwell and left.
Fu Huai 'an's neck was tense, and the veins on his forehead were popping out. His masseter muscles were especially obvious.
Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian's relationship with the couple was too special, and Bai Xiaonian's fate was unknown …
For the first time, Fu Huai 'an felt that things were tricky.
Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian's matter was like a knife … cutting a crack in his relationship with Lin Nuan.
He was also very angry.
Fu Huai 'an took out a cigarette and bit it at the corner of his lips. He couldn't find his lighter for a long time, so he angrily pulled out the cigarette and crumpled it into a ball.
…
Bai Xiaonian's surgery was performed by Fu Huai 'an under Bai Jinyu's request, and it was very successful …
The moment the operating room door opened, Lu Jinnan was the first to stand up, but Lin Nuan pushed him away. He stood there stiffly, his throat moving.
Fu Huai 'an looked at Lu Jinnan's disheveled appearance, and his hands in his pockets tightened slightly.
Lin Nuan and Lu Jinbei surrounded Bai Jinyu and asked him about the situation.
Seeing Lin Nuan's reddened eyes, Bai Jinyu knew that Lin Nuan was worried. He smiled at Lin Nuan with a relaxed expression and said, "Sis-in-law, your friend will be fine. Don't worry about my skills. It's just a cut at the back of her ear, and it's done very cleanly. Even if there's a scar, it won't be easily noticed."
Lin Nuan saw that Bai Xiaonian had been pushed out, and she couldn't resist the urge to rush up and hold Bai Xiaonian's hand tightly. However, she was also anxious to find out about Bai Xiaonian's condition from Bai Jinyu.
Bai Jinyu saw this and said, "Sis-in-law, send your friend to the ICU first. I'll change my clothes and come over to talk to you in detail!"
Lin Nuan thanked him and sent Bai Xiaonian to the ICU with Lu Jinbei. He took off his surgical gown and looked at Lu Jinnan's handsome face, which had been beaten up. He smiled and said, "Yo … I say, Old Lu, you also have times when you have to hold back? You're really something. It's Bai Xiaonian's first time … and you tormented her like that. How brave did you have to be to force her to jump off a building? "
Lu Jinnan's face was tense, and his gaze towards Bai Jinyu was so cold that it sent chills down one's spine.
Bai Jinyu hurriedly raised his hand and smiled. "Okay, okay, okay … I won't joke around, I won't joke around! Don't worry, Bai Xiaonian is fine. The blood clot has been removed. The technology nowadays is more advanced, and it's minimally invasive … There's nothing wrong with her at all. She has a slight fracture in her leg, but it's not a big problem. I guarantee that within a month or two, you'll be back to a healthy Bai Xiaonian! "
