Chapter 67: Favours

“Officer, I made a mistake. He Youran and I… are sisters! Biological sisters! This was a makeup spray that we just developed. I wanted to show my sister how it worked, but I forgot that I was allergic to a certain ingredient in the spray and fainted. It was my sister who saved me!”

He Xue’er gritted her teeth and tried her best to salvage the situation.

“My colleagues misunderstood when they saw me faint, so they called the police. I’m sorry, it was my negligence. Sorry for troubling you!”

He Youran looked at her with interest. She really wanted to suggest that He Xue’er take her so-called “Make-up spray” and let someone else try it.

But thinking of the He family’s style, if she really sent He Xue’er in prison, there would be endless trouble in the future.

It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Right now, the most important thing for her was to find He Shouxin’s biological father.

So, she could only stand by the side and watch He Xue’er’s performance with regret.

After the police heard He Xue’er’s words, they turned to look at He Youran and asked,

“Miss He Youran, is that so?”

“Yes… I think so,” He Youran said reluctantly.

Lu Qingzhuo looked at He Youran’s reluctant and regretful expression without batting an eyelid.

The cunning cat wasn’t willing to be teased by a stupid mouse, was she?

He originally thought that He Youran would take this opportunity to punish He Xue’er and Chen Man, and that he was prepared to be her backup, but it seemed like she was deliberately letting them go.

Why was that?

While he was confused, Lu Qingzhuo felt a faint sense of disappointment.

When he saw He Youran’s message, he put down what he was doing and rushed over, but He Youran didn’t seem to need him at all.

Wasn’t this woman a little too self-reliant and independent?

She was so independent that she didn’t even give him a chance to get close to her heart.

“As long as it’s a misunderstanding.”

The police also let out a sigh of relief.

Poisoning was a major event. Whether it was harming the patient or the doctor, it would have a very negative impact on the first hospital.

The first hospital was the brand of Rong city, and they didn’t want something like this to happen to the first hospital.

“In the future, when you’re sure, call the police. Otherwise, this kind of mistake will happen again.”

The police gave a few more instructions before they left with their men.

When Chen Man and the others saw that the police had left and the matter was messed up again, they left dejectedly.

Only He Youran and Lu Qingzhuo were left in the office.

He Youran cleared her throat and thanked Lu Qingzhuo in embarrassment.

“Mr. Lu, thank you for coming all this way.”

“But I didn’t seem to be of much help,” Lu Qingzhuo said with a smile.

“Of course not. Mr. Lu already helped me a lot by sensing the situation and coming on time…”

As she spoke, He Youran started to feel more at ease.

As the saying went, as long as she wasn’t embarrassed, the one who would be embarrassed would be the other person.

She pretended that she had never sent the wrong wechat message, and Lu Qingzhuo was just “Passing by” to help her like before.

Ahem, actually, when did Lu Qingzhuo really “Pass by”? She was just fooling herself.

“Yeah… This time, I owe you a favor,” He Youran pretended to be relaxed. “How about I treat you to a meal after work?”

“A favor?”

Lu Qingzhuo repeated these two words in amusement. His beautiful lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were like the stars in the night sky.

As long as he looked at someone, if they didn’t look away, it was easy for them to blush.

He gently crossed his hands on his knees and said calmly, “This is nothing, but miss He, you really seem to owe me a favor.”

“Huh?” He Youran looked confused.

But, she immediately reacted and her expression was a little complicated.

It couldn’t be about that incident, right?

Could it be that Lu Qingzhuo already knew about it?

But, only she and Gu Zimu knew about that incident, and Lu Qingzhuo had no contact with Gu Zimu…

She prayed in her heart that Lu Qingzhuo would never know that she used him as a shield that day.

Lu Qingzhuo’s noble eyes rolled, and he looked at her with a half-smile. “What, you have the guts to do it but don’t have the guts to admit it?”
