Chapter 48: Interrogation

The two of them strolled around for a while more before Lu Qingzhuo sent He Youran back to the hotel.

When they reached the entrance of the hotel, He Youran was just about to get out of the car when Lu Qingzhuo stopped her.

“Doctor He.”

He Youran turned around when she heard the voice.

“Mr. Lu, what’s wrong?”

“Can I trouble you to go to the Lu family’s old residence as usual to treat my illness?”

They had already made it very clear that day, so He Youran probably already had a basic understanding of his condition. If it were anyone else, they might have suffered a huge blow, or they might have simply rejected him as a hot potato.

But, Lu Qingzhuo did not want to cut off contact with He Youran just like that.

He could not explain the feelings in his heart, so he could only convince himself that he was doing it for his grandmother.

His grandmother was old, and it wasn’t easy for her to find such a hope. He didn’t want her to be disappointed.

Moreover, his grandmother liked He Shouxin very much.

Although he couldn’t tell He Youran about the Lu family’s plans in person, He Youran could feel the sincerity of their family over time. Perhaps, they would agree when they spoke in the future.

Perhaps, even Lu Qingzhuo himself didn’t realize that when he said this, his tone was low and gentle, and there was even a hint of pleading.

But He Youran felt it.

Perhaps it was because they had talked too much today and got too close, she felt a little sympathy for Lu Qingzhuo. Even though someone as powerful as Lu Qingzhuo didn’t need these things.

“Of course, Mr. Lu.” She smiled. “I’ll be there on time the day after tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Lu Qingzhuo couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. “Then I… We’ll wait for you.”

“Okay.”

He Youran bade farewell to Lu Qingzhuo before turning around to return to the hotel.

He Xue’er had just gotten off work at the first hospital of Rong city.

She had heard about what had happened today, but it was different from Chen Man’s anger and unwillingness. He Xue’er was very happy.

He Youran had resigned from her temporary job at the first hospital of Rong city. It was a good thing that she didn’t have to face He Youran’s annoying face in the future.

Moreover, she couldn’t wait for He Youran to get close to Lu Qingzhuo. After all, Lu Qingzhuo was a useless man. Even if he had money, he wouldn’t be able to have children and continue his family business. Even if she were to be with him, she wouldn’t get any benefits.

If He Youran was willing to cling onto that man, then let her do it!

She only hoped that He Youran would leave Rong city as soon as possible so that she could continue to be with Gu Zimu!

He Xue’er hummed a song as she arrived at the parking lot. Just as she reached her car, she suddenly saw Gu Zimu.

The lights in the parking lot were very dim. Gu Zimu was standing beside a pillar, smoking one cigarette after another. The curling smoke blurred his handsome face, making him look gloomy and dejected.

But, He Xue’er couldn’t feel it. She only felt surprised.

Gu Zimu actually came to pick her up from work? !

Sure enough, what happened today was all good things!

“Brother Zimu!” He Xue’er walked over happily and called him sweetly.

Gu Zimu looked at her.

Unlike He Xue’er’s self-proclaimed affectionate doting, Gu Zimu’s gaze was very cold. His jet-black eyes seemed to be brewing a spark that was about to ignite. Under the dim light, he looked a little terrifying.

He Xue’er couldn’t help but take a step back as she swallowed her saliva.

Why did she feel that something was wrong with Gu Zimu’s mood?

Usually, even if Gu Zimu didn’t like her, he would still maintain his gentlemanly demeanor. He had a good grasp of the gentle and distant feeling, making her heart ache and mesmerized.

But the Gu Zimu in front of her was so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that it made her afraid.

“He Xue’er, let me ask you, who was the man who had a night with He Youran five years ago?” Gu Zimu asked directly.
