Chapter 448 - Pretence
Chapter 448: Pretence
Lan Xin had spoken so helplessly, there was even an apologetic tone in her voice.
Luo Xuan scoffed coldly and no longer said anything else.
Gu Qingchen sneered. “Young Master Luo, do you think that the whole world is your home? If you’re that rich, why don’t you contribute three hundred billion?”
Shui Anluo’s mouth twitched and she turned back to look at Chu Ningyi. Was there some sort of feud between Luo Xuan and Gu Qingchen?
Chu Ningyi patted Shui Anluo on the shoulder. As the host, he did not stand up for Lan Xin.
“Forget it, Mister Luo probably didn’t mean it,” Lan Xin said in a fair and considerate manner. She then looked down at the little boy and said, “Jiang Xing, now that you’ve met Auntie, it’s time for us to return to the hospital.”
The little boy nodded and held Shui Anluo’s hand as he said, “Auntie, take good care of yourself. When I grow up, I want to be just like you and do everything I can to help others.” The little boy had spoken determinedly.
Shui Anluo smiled and nodded. She bent down and stroked his head. “Go on, I’ll visit you in the next two days when I get back to work.”
Lan Xin turned back to look at Shui Anluo again before she left. She then said worriedly, “Luoluo, bruises aren’t small wounds, you must take care.”
“Mm, thank you, Senior Sister.” Shui Anluo replied with a smile.
Chu Ningyi narrowed his eyes and watched Lan Xin as she left. His gaze deepened.
She had acted too nonchalantly. From Chu Ningyi’s point of view, this was not normal at all.
Because he was just like Lan Xin.
Shui Anluo watched Lan Xin leave. After a short while, she turned away and retracted the hatred in her eyes.
“See? I saved a child.” Shui Anluo grinned as she hugged Chu Ningyi’s arm, reveling in her achievement.
Shui Anluo pursed her lips, why does this guy look so mesmerized with Senior Sister’s back?
Anyone ignorant would think that he had fallen for Lan Xin.
However, Shui Anluo knew that whatever he was looking at was the same thing she was curious about.
How could such a merciless woman conceal herself so well?
Shui Anluo was curious so she looked at Chu Ningyi.
Chu Ningyi stroked her head. His girl was really silly.
Therefore, he has to take care of this himself.
Regardless, he would not let anyone hurt a single hair on her head.
Luo Xuan stared at the pair nearby. He then smiled and turned to leave the banquet.
Chu Ningyi watched him leave. He felt that he should really thank Luo Xuan for coming as he had helped to validate his theory.
The benefit went very smoothly aside from the fact that the gorgeously dressed women lacked a target for their abilities. Every single one of them glared at Shui Anluo as if they wanted to bite her to death.
Shui Anluo’s high profile debut generated a tidal wave in ‘A’ City once again.
However, He Xiaoran was not happy when she saw the news. Since she was still alive, why had they not said anything? They had been so worried.
Chu Mobai stared at his angry wife and pulled her to his side to calm her. “Do you really think that they had kept this from you on purpose? They have their reasons for hiding. Perhaps that matter has been settled now?”
“What matter can there be?” He Xiaoran replied in annoyance.
As Lin Qianchen’s incident in the police station had been handled secretly, all everyone knows was that a gangster had infiltrated the police station but no one knew the reason why. Naturally, no one would have known what Chu Ningyi had used the media for.
Chu Mobai knew but he simply watched without making any moves.
Based on his point of view, his son was handling things very well.
