Although Professor Li was not sure what had happened in between, she could guess that there were some hidden facts that she did not know, not to mention that she had a vague idea about the marriage between Fu Lengyu and her student. "If your junior sister said so, you should tell her the specific address right away!"
"You can ask Mr. Fu for that..."
Lin Yu still hesitated to speak, as he knew that it was not allowed to leak such information without permission. If he did so, his boss would definitely hold him accountable. In the workplace, it is crucial to know how to protect oneself. Lin Yu did not have the courage to interfere in the grudges between his boss and his wife.
An Ran was so anxious that she forgot her mentor was still there, urging and questioning, "Just tell me the specific address! Which hospital in Switzerland is my mother in?"
"Well..."
Professor Li looked at An Ran, who was so anxious, and could not bear it, "Just tell her! Are you not going to listen to your mentor?"
With her mentor speaking up, Lin Yu had to give the specificaddress. An Ran checked on her phone and couldn't help but thank Lin Yu with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, senior brother! I will remember this favor!"
"What favor?"
A cold voice came from outside the door, and a person walked in. Seeing that cold and familiar face, An Ran was so scared that she took a deep breath and turned pale.
Professor Li felt sorry for her student's appearance and spoke up, "It was just a casual chat, nothing more."
Fu Lengyu's cold and sharp gaze swept over the three of them, finally landing on Lin Yu's face. "Tell me, why does she owe you a favor? I want to hear the truth."
An Ran's face turned even paler, looking at Lin Yu with pleading eyes, hoping he wouldn't tell the truth. Lin Yu seemed to have not seen An Ran's pleading eyes, and without hesitation, he told the truth about what happened earlier. After all, he only said it out of courtesy, but compared to that, work was more important. Being an assistant to Fu Lengyu was a busy job, but the treatment was top-notch. Lin Yu, who came from an ordinary background, couldn't bear to lose this job.
An Ran looked at Fu Lengyu's face, which was gradually darkening, and her heart sank to the bottom. "It's over! Iknow my mother's specific address, and this demon will definitely transfer my mother's address as soon as possible!"
Professor Li patted An Ran's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous..."
As he spoke, Professor Li turned to Fu Lengyu and said, "It's reasonable for her to care about her mother. What's with that expression on your face?"
Fu Lengyu's crimson lips curled up into a smile. "It's indeed reasonable. I was just curious. Professor, my wife and I have something to do at home. We'll leave first."
As he spoke, he walked over and took An Ran's hand without giving her a chance to refuse.
Her cold and stiff hand was held in his palm, and he could feel that his nominal wife seemed to have been frightened out of her wits. Her hands and feet were cold and stiff...
Heh, she's scared to this extent. She's simply...useless!
Under his coercion, An Ran and Fu Lengyu left. Almost as soon as they returned to the villa, An Ran couldn't hold it in anymore. In the dual torment of fear and worry, she trembled as she said to Fu Lengyu, "If you won't tell me where my mother is, I'll go find out myself. What's wrong with that? I'm not wrong..."
This sounded like self-consolation, but she knew deep down that whether she did something wrong or not didn't matter. What mattered was that Fu Lengyu thought she did something wrong...and the consequences of making a mistake. The memory of his angry outburst made her shudder.
"You're not wrong!" Fu Lengyu clapped his hands in agreement, but his smile was tinged with sarcasm, making him appear even more disdainful of her petty tactics. "But trying to seduce my assistant is a big mistake!"
Trying to shift the blame onto someone else? How clever! But this kind of petty trickery only made Fu Lengyu more disgusted with her.
An Ran was so frightened by his words that her voice was hoarse as she tried to explain herself. "No...I didn't seduce him! I was just asking a normal question. And besides, there was also Professor Li there when we were chatting. How could I possibly seduce him?"
"You shouldn't have tried to involve people around me! Because I never go easy on those who betray me! Do you want...Lin Yu to lose his job because of this?" Fu Lengyu's tone was serious, and he didn't sound like he was joking at all, even though Lin Yu had been his assistant for a year or two. He would fire him without hesitation.
"No! It's not his fault. I had to ask, and even my mentorhelped me ask. He told me because of our relationship! Lin did nothing wrong, and you can't fire him!" An Ran's heart was pounding with nervousness, and she felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Could it be that she was born to be a jinx, only capable of bringing trouble to others?
"I won't fire him, that's fine," Fu Lengyu said nonchalantly as he looked out the French windows at the increasingly gloomy weather outside. "But you'll have to spend the night outside in the yard."
Following his gaze, An Ran looked outside at the darkening sky. The once clear and sunny weather had long since disappeared, replaced by rolling dark clouds and fierce winds that signaled an impending storm."You..." She was about to explain that she wasn't feeling well and couldn't withstand such conditions, but upon seeing the mocking look in Fu Lengyu's eyes, she swallowed her words and resigned herself to her fate. "Okay..."
Without waiting for his response, she left on her own. She was still wearing a thin, gauzy dress, and the moment the wind blew, she shivered from the cold. It was only for one night. If she could tough it out, she wouldn't have to bring trouble to that assistant Lin anymore.
With this thought in mind, An Ran stood in the wind, even though she was cold, hungry, and dizzy. She didn't beg for mercy, even as the wind and rain battered her like a small sapling that could be knocked down at any moment. The rain fell in dense, crisscrossing lines, mercilessly lashing her.
As she stood in the midst of the storm, cold, hungry, and dizzy, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Inside the warm and comfortable villa, the butler watched the scene outside and couldn't help but sigh. "Mr. Fu, Madam has only recently been discharged from the hospital. It's dangerous for her to be out there like this. Why don't you let her come in?"
Fu Lengyu looked at An Ran, who stubbornly stood in the wind and rain with her eyes tightly closed, and his thoughts became somewhat elusive.Such a sorrowful expression... It's exactly the same as the one she had after misunderstanding herself!
