Chapter 41 - prove innocence

The familiar voice on the phone asked, "Where are you now? Are you okay?"

Hesitating for a moment, Ruirui looked at Anran and slowly replied, "I'm at the hospital..."

The voice became more urgent, "Why are you at the hospital? Did something happen? Which hospital are you in?"

Ruirui was bombarded with questions and guessed that he had probably caused trouble. Afraid of being scolded, he hesitated and didn't immediately give the address.

Without waiting for the child's answer, the voice became even more anxious, "Forget it, I'll use my phone to locate you. Don't wander around, do you hear me? I'll come find you soon. Remember, don't wander around!"

After the call ended, Ruirui sighed and said, "Why is my uncle always so anxious?"

Anran saw him acting like a little adult, sighing and feeling amused, "Your uncle is worried about you and cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious!"

Ruirui's face, which had been a little downcast, suddenly lit up with a brilliant smile. He nodded heavily, "That's right... there are still people in this world who like me and care about me!"

After waiting in line for a long time, Anran thought that Ruirui's uncle would only come after his wound had been treated, but she didn't expect him to arrive before that!

When she saw Lu Ye Bai rushing over in a hurry, Anran's mind went blank for a moment. It wasn't until he picked up the child in front of her and called out "Ruirui" several times that she confirmed that Ruirui's uncle was Lu Ye Bai.

Fu Lengyu's true friend, Lu Ye Bai.

The world is really small! Anran felt a little uneasy and nervous, nodding and greeting him, "Hello..."

When Lu Ye Bai saw Anran, he was also very surprised. However, when he saw the large wound on his nephew's palm, his face immediately darkened with rage and he asked fiercely, "Did you cause Ruirui's injury?"

Anran's face turned pale, and the way he looked at her was as if he wanted to swallow her alive. She nodded her head with difficulty and said, "It was me... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

At that moment, someone inside shouted Ruirui's name. Luyebai gritted his teeth and said, "I'll settle the score with you later!"

The wound on Ruirui's palm looked terrifying because it had scraped off a lot of skin and bled profusely, making it look severe. In reality, it was just a minor injury.

After disinfecting it with alcohol and cleaning it of dirt, they applied medicine and bandaged it up. Everything was fine.

Anran waited anxiously outside the corridor, lamenting her bad luck for getting involved with Luyebai. The shadow left by Fu Lengyu was too deep, causing her to have a natural fear of anyone around him.

When they came out, Anran walked up to them and asked awkwardly, "Is the wound serious?"

Luyebai had no good impression of this woman who had caused harm to his nephew. He sneered coldly and said, "Don't you know how serious it is? Why don't you try getting injured too?"

Anran felt a dull pain in her palm and forced a smile, shaking her head. "I'm sorry..

She was still holding the white cat, which was meowing in the snow. Ruirui reached out to hold it, but Lu yebai quickly grabbed his hand and patiently said, "Be good, Ruirui. Wait until your wound scabs over before you hold the cat, okay?"

Ruirui's face immediately swelled up in anger, and he shook off Luyebai's hand. "Are all you adults liars? You promised to let me hold it after I treated my wound!"

Anran suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, especially under Luyebai's blaming and mocking gaze. She just wanted to leave these two people as soon as possible.

"I... did say that." She handed the cat in her arms to Luyebai,who looked at the dirty snow with disgust.

"I want to hold it..." Ruirui reached out to hold the baby, but Luye Bai stopped him. Ruirui was too small to break free from Luye Bai's grasp, and he started crying when he became anxious. "Wuwuwu... you adults are all liars! You're all deceiving me... you don't love me..." Ruirui's crying was pitiful, and someone nearby couldn't bear to watch and advised, "Don't argue in front of the child. Children have poor psychological endurance..."

"That's right... you already have a child, but you can't give him a loving family. You two are such failures as parents!" An Ran was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She tried to explain to the crowd, "No... you've misunderstood..."

Luye Bai's face turned pale, and he simply picked up Ruirui and said in an unfriendly tone to An Ran, "Are you still standing here to be laughed at?" An Ran followed them with trepidation and, once they left the hospital, she tried to explain again, "Mr. Lu, I really didn't mean to hurt the child..."

Luye Bai had sympathy for An Ran, but her actions today made him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart. She injured the child and was still trying to shirk responsibility!

This kind of irresponsible woman was no wonder his good friend hated her so much. "It wasn't intentional? Did he fall by himself?" Luye Bai sarcastically asked.

Ruirui was still crying, struggling to break free from Luye Bai's grasp. This crying made the atmosphere even more tense, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger. "An Ran, I don't care about your relationship with Fu Lengyu, but I warn you, don't take youranger out on innocent children!"

An Ran couldn't believe it, her eyes widened, and she trembled as she asked, "Do you think I'm deliberately taking my anger out on a child?" Luye Bai didn't speak, but his sarcastic and vigilant eyes said everything.

An Ran was so angry that she laughed out loud and retorted loudly, "Yes, I do hate Fu Lengyu and the people around him for some things, but I have never even met Ruirui before!I wouldn't take my anger out on a child! I still have the basic bottom line as a person! Lu Ye Bai, don't think of me as so despicable and ruthless!"

"You were able to seduce my good brother and cause Lin Ran Yu's death! Where do you get the face to think you're akind person? An Ran, get out of here and stay away from Ruirui in the future! No matter what your intentions are! Remember, Ruirui is not someone you can calculate and use! You can't afford to provoke me!"

An Ran was both angry and aggrieved, her eyes turning red. Why did they all think she seduced Fu Lengyu? Why did they say she caused Lin Ran Yu's death?

She was also being calculated! Why didn't anyone believe her words! Even if no one believed her, An Ran still upheld her bottom line and wanted to prove her innocence!
