Lu Jinnan's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Even though they didn't know who the girl in Lu Jinbei's heart was back then, at the rich old lady's birthday party, everyone saw clearly that Lu Jinbei didn't care about his dignity at all, sticking his whole body to Bai Xiaonian.
If he didn't love her to the extreme, how could Lu Jinbei, who had grown up under Lu Jinnan's protection and lived a carefree and unrestrained life, lower his noble head and fawn over a woman like a pug?
Lu Jinnan was silent for a moment, then looked up at Fu Huai 'an and blurted out, "Then, are you going to help me like last time? How are you going to face Lin Nuan if you help me? "
Fu Huai 'an was annoyed by Lu Jinnan's questions. He subconsciously took out a cigarette and raised his hand to smoke, only to remember that it wasn't lit. He paused for a moment, then said, "We'll talk about everything after Bai Xiaonian wakes up!"
On one side was Lu Jinnan, and on the other side was Lin Nuan. Lu Jinnan understood Fu Huai 'an's dilemma.
"Old Fu!" Lu Jinnan stood up and grabbed Fu Huai 'an's shoulder. "You don't have to talk to Bai Xiaonian. I'll talk to her when she wakes up. If she wants my life, I'll give it to her! If she wants me to go to jail, I'll go! Just take good care of Lin Nuan. "
Bai Jinyu, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't take it anymore. He walked out and said, "Lu Jinnan, are you crazy? You've been like this all these years! You act like you're possessed when it comes to a woman and your brother! When are you going to get over this? So what if your brother likes a woman? It's not like she's married to your brother. Moreover, Bai Xiaonian doesn't even care about your brother! "
"Why are you here? Where's Xiao Nuan? "Fu Huai 'an asked.
"She's upstairs with Xiao Bei …" Bai Jinyu replied.
Fu Huai 'an put the unlit cigarette in the pack and passed it to Bai Jinyu, worried that Lin Nuan would go upstairs first.
Bai Jinyu, on the other hand, frowned and looked at Lu Jinnan. "Lu Jinnan, Old Fu and I are on the same side. Why won't you be honest? What's going on with Sister-in-law's friend? "
…
After midnight, Bai Xiaonian's condition was stable. Fu Huai 'an was afraid that returning to Tianfu Bay would affect Tuan Tuan, so he brought her back to the Cloud Top Condominium.
Lin Nuan was also exhausted. The moment she arrived at the Cloud Top Condominium, she laid down on the bed in exhaustion.
Fu Huai 'an saw that Lin Nuan was so tired that she couldn't even be bothered to remove her clothes. He removed his jacket and casually placed it at the foot of the bed. He then removed his watch and placed it on the bedside table before entering the bathroom …
Hearing the sound of the bathroom door closing, Lin Nuan slowly opened her eyes. Hearing the faint sound of water in the bathroom, her eyes turned red and moist.
On this matter, it was true that Fu Huai 'an had to protect Lu Jinnan. Lu Jinnan was his brother!
But Bai Xiaonian was lying there, raped, and then jumped off a building. How could Lin Nuan not be worried about that?
Especially when she recalled how pale Bai Xiaonian looked when she was wheeled out of the operating theater, Lin Nuan wished she could kill him.
She thought of how Fu Huai 'an was protecting Lu Jinnan and felt even more upset. Even though she knew from Fu Huai' an's point of view that he wasn't in the wrong, her heart still ached.
He was her husband and should be someone she could rely on and trust at a time like this.
But Lin Nuan was terrified that after she called the police, Fu Huai 'an would personally take over the case to clear Lu Jinnan's name.
Then how would Lin Nuan face Bai Xiaonian in the future? How would she face Fu Huai 'an then?
Hearing the sound of water stopping in the bathroom, Lin Nuan closed her eyes again and shrunk into the blankets.
Fu Huai 'an casually rolled up his sleeves and pushed them up to his elbows, revealing his muscular arms. He held a warm towel in his hand as he walked to the bed and sat down. "Wipe your face before sleeping. It's more comfortable!"
As he spoke, Fu Huai 'an propped one hand by Lin Nuan's ear and wiped her face with the other.
The temperature and humidity of the towel were just right. As it rubbed against Lin Nuan's delicate skin, it indeed made her feel more comfortable.
Lin Nuan felt terrible. Her nostrils flared slightly, and tears formed in her eyelashes.
Her throat was swollen and painful, and she tried hard not to cry out loud. Her tears flowed over the bridge of her nose and wet the pillow.
There was only one wall lamp in the bedroom. Under the dim light, the tear stains on Lin Nuan's nose were glistening. The pillow was also stained, and her petite hands clutched the blankets tightly.
Fu Huai 'an sighed and set the towel aside. He lifted a corner of the blankets and lay down, wrapping his arms around Lin Nuan's slender waist and hugging her in his arms.
"I know you're feeling terrible …"
On the way back from the hospital, neither of them spoke. It was as if they were competing to see who could hold it in first.
In the end, it was Fu Huai 'an who couldn't bear to see Lin Nuan cry, so he spoke first.
Fu Huai 'an was subtly lowering his head, and Lin Nuan couldn't hold back her grievances …
She clutched the blankets tightly and closed her eyes as she said, "Fu Huai 'an, I told you not to interfere in Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan's matter because I don't want to affect our relationship. But you said it's only fair if I don't interfere as well. Lu Jinnan is perfectly fine, but Bai Xiaonian is lying in bed and hasn't woken up yet! You're telling me not to interfere? Is it that only your friends are friends in your heart, and my friends are nothing at all? Serves them right to be harmed by your friends, right? "
Lin Nuan's sobbing tone was so nasal that it almost couldn't melt.
Fu Huai 'an hugged her tightly and kissed her long hair, apologizing, "I apologize, I'm sorry … what I said was wrong! Don't cry, don't be sad, okay? "
Lin Nuan's shoulders were shaking as she hugged the blankets. Fu Huai 'an propped himself up and looked at Lin Nuan biting her lip to hold back her sobs. He turned her over and kissed her eyes and lips.
Lin Nuan's resistance made Fu Huai 'an stop what he was doing. He looked at Lin Nuan, who was crying with her eyes closed, and wiped away her tears with his thumb. He lowered his deep voice and said, "Xiao Nuan, we're from different perspectives, but it's not that I'm not considering Bai Xiaonian at all. It's just that things have already happened. No matter what the truth is, I personally don't think this is the time to pursue responsibility. What we should do now is think of ways to deal with the aftermath and minimize the damage. If this was really done by Lu Jinnan, we should see how he can compensate for it …"
"Aren't you trying to absolve Lu Jinnan?" Lin Nuan suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Fu Huai 'an, her tears seeming to have frozen.
"I'm talking about the first solution. Rather than sending Lu Jinnan to jail and making Bai Xiaonian a public figure, it's better to get practical compensation …"
Looking at Lin Nuan's gradually cooling gaze, Fu Huai 'an pursed his lips and didn't finish his sentence. He was afraid Lin Nuan would lose control of her emotions again, so he said, "If Lu Jinnan really raped Bai Xiaonian, causing her to jump off a building, this is one of the solutions. I'm not trying to persuade you to do this!"
