Chapter 167 Huo Ruilin is sick
He was talking about giving an explanation, not getting engaged to her.
Qian Manrou's heart sank. She knew that once Song Zekai started investigating, her lies would most likely be exposed.
But she was still unwilling to give up and tried to save the situation.
"No matter what I say, you just don't believe me." Qian Manrou cried even louder, "Last night, there was no other woman besides me."
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to get to the bottom of this matter." Looking at the crying Qian Manrou, Song Zekai frowned even deeper.
"Since you are unwilling to take responsibility for me, I might as well die."
Having said that, Qian Manrou rushed into the kitchen, picked up the fruit knife from the cupboard, and was about to cut her wrists.
Seeing this scene, Song Zekai was shocked. He rushed up and snatched the fruit knife from her hand, "What are you doing?"
Song Zekai held the fruit knife tightly, and the sharp blade cut a gash on his palm.
Suddenly, blood dripped down his palm.
"Zekai, your hand is bleeding." Qian Manrou was shocked when she saw this scene.
Qian Manrou was panicking and wanted to check Song Zekai's wound, but Song Zekai dodged her. "Don't touch me. Qian Manrou, why are you doing this? This extreme method won't solve the problem."
Song Zekai's eyes were full of disappointment and helplessness. He didn't expect Qian Manrou to do such a thing, which made his impression of her even worse.
"Zekai, I just love you too much and I don't want to lose you." Qian Manrou said crying.
"Love is not possession, nor is it threatening in extreme ways." Song Zekai said coldly, "If you really love me, you should respect my decision instead of forcing me in this way."
Qian Manrou bit her lip, her eyes full of regret. She knew she had done something wrong this time, but she had no way out.
"Zekai, I know I was wrong. Please don't leave me, okay?" Qian Manrou pleaded.
Song Zekai looked at Qian Manrou, and his heart wavered. He was not a heartless person, and seeing Qian Manrou like this, he felt a little bit sorry.
But he knew that he couldn't make the wrong decision because of soft-heartedness. He had to figure out what happened last night before deciding what to do next.
"Qian Manrou, calm down first. Let me investigate the matter thoroughly, then we can talk about it." Song Zekai said.
"After all, you just don't believe me. Would I use my innocence to threaten you? Song Zekai, who do you think I am?" Qian Manrou cried and accused word by word: "Well, since you don't want to take responsibility, I will leave."
After saying that, Qian Manrou ran out of the villa crying.
Seeing this scene, Song Zekai didn't care about the wound on his palm, and stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.
Blood was still flowing down his fingers, dropping onto the ground drop by drop.
Could it be that he was really worrying too much?
Qian Manrou's words make sense. Innocence is the most precious thing for a girl. She would never joke about such things.
Moreover, she had just been forced by him to commit suicide to prove her innocence.
Thinking of this, a trace of guilt flashed in Song Zekai's eyes.
He stood there, looking at the bloodstains on the ground, his heart full of contradictions.
He didn't know whether he should believe Qian Manrou, nor did he know how to deal with this situation.
He sighed, walked to the living room, found a Band-Aid and simply treated the wound. Then he sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
He thought of Huo Ruilin, the lovely and innocent girl.
Last night, although he was drunk, he dreamed of her.
He dreamed that she said goodbye to him, "Brother Zekai, I may not love you anymore, I'm leaving..."
Then, her figure gradually disappeared from his sight.
He shouted at her back: "No, don't leave me..."
Song Zekai felt a headache and felt that he was trapped in a huge whirlpool and couldn't extricate himself.
Could it be that he mistook Qian Manrou for Ruilin last night and did that kind of thing with her?
Just thinking about this, Song Zekai felt like a bastard, and felt sorry for Huo Ruilin and Qian Manrou.
Doesn't this mean he's hurting two people at the same time?
Luming Manor
"Rui Lin, are you awake?"
Huo Ruilin didn’t know how long she slept. When she woke up, she saw Lin Wanwan sitting beside the bed, looking at her tenderly, with her family beside her.
"Sister-in-law, Grandpa, Mom, why are you all here?"
Huo Ruilin supported her tired body and slowly sat up. She felt sore all over, as if she had no strength, and her headache was severe.
Lin Wanwan quickly said, "Rui Lin, don't get up, you still have a fever!"
"Fever?" Huo Ruilin looked confused and subconsciously touched her forehead.
Huo Ruilin's forehead was burning hot, and she realized that she really had a fever. Her face was a little pale, and her eyes revealed a trace of fatigue.
"Why do I have a fever?" Huo Ruilin asked weakly.
Lin Wanwan looked at her distressedly. "You didn't look very well when you came back last night. You might have caught a cold. Plus, you were in a bad mood, which made you even weaker."
Mrs. Huo sat aside, her face full of worry. "Linlin, how do you feel? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Huo Ruilin shook her head. "Mom, I'm fine. No need to go to the hospital. Just take some medicine."
Mr. Huo also looked at her with concern. "Girl, if you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself to stay strong. Your health is more important."
Huo Ruilin felt warm in her heart. She felt the care and love of her family. "Grandpa, I understand. Don't worry."
Lin Wanwan poured Huo Ruilin a glass of water and handed it to her. "Ruilin, drink some water first. Take the medicine later. Have a good rest."
Huo Ruilin took the cup and took a sip of water.
She was still in a heavy mood, and her mind couldn't help but recall everything that happened last night, as if it was a dream, a heart-wrenching dream.
"Rui Lin, have a good rest. Your mother and I will leave first." After seeing Huo Rui Lin take cold medicine, Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo walked out of her room with peace of mind.
Lin Wanwan hadn't left yet, but sat beside the bed, looking at her quietly.
"Rui Lin, are you worried about something?"
Women's intuition is always accurate.
Lin Wanwan always felt that Huo Ruilin was hiding something from them, but she didn't say anything and kept it to herself.
"Sister-in-law, can you please leave me alone for a while?" Huo Ruilin was not in the mood to tell Lin Wanwan about her own affairs.
Lin Wanwan also knew that she was in a bad mood and needed to rest, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, have a good rest. When you have something to say, remember to tell me." After saying that, Lin Wanwan covered her with the quilt, got up and left.
