Chapter 241
She remembered Fu Huai'an's words to defend Lu Jinnan, and she felt a little more upset in her heart. Even though she knew that Fu Huai'an was not wrong, her heart still hurt as if she had been stabbed.
He is her husband, so at such a moment, he should be someone Lin Nuan can rely on and trust.
But what Lin Nuan was afraid of was that after she called the police, Fu Huaian would personally take over the case and declare Lu Jinnan not guilty.
How did Lin Nuan face Bai Xiaonian after that? In the following days, how did she face Fu Huai'an?
Hearing the sound of the shower stopping, Lin Nuan closed his eyes again and retreated into the quilt.
Fu Huai'an's sleeves rolled up casually to his elbows, revealing his strong arms. With a warm towel in his hand, he walked over to the bed and sat down. "Wash your face before going to bed and you'll feel more comfortable!"
As he spoke, Fu Huaian pinched Lin Nuan's ears with one hand and wiped his face with a towel with the other.
The temperature of the towels was just right. When it swept over Lin Nuan's immature face, she did feel much more comfortable.
Lin Nuan was in a bad mood. Her nostrils opened slightly, and then she began to cry.
Her throat was swollen and painful, but she struggled to hold back her crying. Her tears wet the pillow and slid down her nose.
There is only one wall lamp in the bedroom. In the dim light, the tear stains on Lin Nuan's nose were clearly visible, and the tear stains on the pillow were also obvious. Her petite hands clutched the blanket tightly.
Fu Huai'an sighed, then put the towel aside before lifting the blanket to cover himself. His arms wrapped around Lin Nuan's slender waist and held her in his arms.
"I know you're feeling bad..."
On the way back from the hospital, neither of them spoke. It was as if the two of them were trying to see who would speak first.
In the end, it was Fu Huaian who spoke first, because he couldn't bear to see the crying Lin Nuan.
Fu Huaian was looking down at Lin Nuan in another way. Lin Nuan couldn't hold back the unhappiness in her heart......
She clutched the blanket tightly and opened her eyes before speaking, "Fu Huai'an, I am asking you not to interfere in the affairs of Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan, so as not to affect our relationship, but it is only fair that you say that I will stay out of the matter." Are you attacking my heart directly? Lu Jinnan is completely fine, while Bai Xiaonian is lying on the bed at the moment, still unconscious! Are you trying to keep me out of the way? So your friend is your friend in your heart, and my friend is nothing? She deserves it all, doesn't she?
Lin Nuan's tone was very nasal, and it sounded like his nose was completely blocked.
Fu Huaian hugged her tightly, kissed Lin Nuan's long hair, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I was wrong! Please don't cry, don't be sad, okay?
Lin Nuan's shoulders rose and fell with her crying. Fu Huaian supported himself slightly, watching Lin Nuan bite his lip and holding back his tears. He turned her over and kissed her eyes and lips.
Lin Nuan resisted his action and made Fu Huaian stop what he was doing. He looked at Lin Nuan, who was still crying with his eyes closed, and tried to wipe away her tears with his thumb. He lowered his deep voice and said, "Xiao Nuan, we look at things from different angles, but I don't completely ignore Bai Xiaonian. It's just that this has already happened, so regardless of the truth, I personally feel that now is not the time to hold accountable. What we need to do now is to deal with the aftermath and minimize the damage caused. If Lu Jinnan really did it, we should see what Lu Jinnan can do to compensate for it......"
"Didn't you want to help Lu Jinnan escape?" Lin Nuan suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Fu Huai'an, and his tears seemed to freeze.
"I mean, it's one way to deal with it. Instead of sending Lu Jinnan to prison and making Bai Xiaonian the target of gossip as a public figure, why not get some actual compensation?
Seeing that her eyes were getting colder and colder, Fu Huaian pursed her lips and didn't finish what she wanted to say, for fear that Lin Nuan would not be able to control her emotions again. He said: "If Lu Jinnan really forced Bai Xiaonian to jump off the building, this is a way to deal with it, but I'm not saying that this is what you absolutely have to do!"
Lin Nuan's lips were pursed, and all the color on his face was gone.
The wall lamp obviously emitted a soft light, but Lin Nuan still felt that the light pierced her eyes, and the glare made her eyes hurt terribly......
She wanted to turn over, but she was pinned in place by Fu Huai'an, unable to break free from his control. She closed her eyes and refused to look at him.
Fu Huai'an wiped his tears, but those tears seemed endless.
"Xiao Nuan, Bai Xiaonian is still unconscious. We still don't know exactly what's going on. Don't call the police in a hurry, don't do anything first. Our first task is to take good care of Bai Xiaonian, and the next thing is to try to hide this matter from Bai Xiaonian's sick father. When Bai Xiaonian wakes up, let's do what she wants. We can't mess this up now. Think about Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan - both of them have special identities, once this incident explodes...... It's sure to cause a fiasco all over the city! At that time, it would be impossible to hide this matter from Bai Xiaonian's father. Do you think this will work?
Now that both of them were calming down a bit, they could finally hear what the other was saying.
Lin Nuan finally couldn't let himself repeat the fact that Lu Jinnan himself had admitted to raping Bai Xiaonian.
This does not mean that Lin Nuan has relented in this matter......
It's just that she thinks what Fu Huai'an said makes sense. The first priority is to take good care of Bai Xiaonian, and the second priority is ...... is to hide this matter from Uncle Bai; As for how to hide it from him, Lin Nuan had to find a way.
Bai Xiaonian's mother jumped off the building because she couldn't bear the humiliation of being violated...... If Bai Xiaonian jumped off the building for the same reason, how could he accept it?
Lin Nuan didn't say anything, so this was a tacit approval. She held back the burning pain in her eyes, opened her eyes, and asked, "Do you want to call the police after Xiao Nian wakes up?"
Fu Huai'an remembered what Lu Jinnan told him earlier today - if Bai Xiaonian wanted his life, he would give up, and if she wanted him to go to jail, he would agree.
"If that's the case, we'll do whatever needs to be done...... Fu Huai'an added, "I'll stay out of it."
Hearing Fu Huai'an's promise, Lin Nuan's eyes were not as dead and silent as before. She stared at Fu Huai'an for a long time before she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Those clear and beautiful eyes were hazy and full of blood vessels, and just looking at them made Fu Huai feel anxietically painful.
"Really?"
Lin Nuan asked a little naïve.
Lin Nuan knew in his heart that Fu Huaian had never been a righteous person.
He used to be a lawyer, and lawyers solve people's problems in exchange for money – that's what they do. Lin Nuan had never paid attention before, but she did hear that Fu Huai'an's defense of the defendant was too expensive, and he could turn black and white, forcing the plaintiff's family to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
"Well... It's true! Fu Huai'an nodded and hugged her tightly beside him. "On one side is you, and on the other side is Lu Jinnan. Xiao Nuan..."
Lin Nuan didn't wait for Fu Huaian to finish. She rolled over and fell into Fu Huai'an's arms. "All I ask you is not to do this!"
Fu Huai'an kissed Lin Nuan's forehead, his lips did not separate for a long time, and he held her in his arms.
Lin Nuan has never been a person who reaches out to grab the yard inch by inch. She knows where to draw the line...
Lin Nuan only thought about it from Fu Huai'an's point of view before asking Fu Huai'an for this favor, which was not too much. But Fu Huai'an can feel... At this moment, she was embracing him with a heart full of gratitude.
Fu Huai'an could feel that Lin Nuan cared about their relationship.
This added a touch of sweetness to Fu Huai'an's troubled emotions. He pecked Lin Nuan's face and lips very gently...... And the neck...
Considering Lin Nuan's feelings, Fu Huaian did not go to business in the end. In the end, he fell asleep with Lin Nuan in his arms.
...
At three o'clock in the morning, Fu Huai'an's mobile phone vibrate.
Fu Huai'an has always been a light sleeper. He was afraid that the vibration of the mobile phone would wake up Lin Nuan, so he reached out and picked up the mobile phone on the cabinet and blacked out the screen.
Lin Nuan felt this action, so she was stunned for a moment before frowning and dozing off again.
Fu Huaian picked up the phone and got up cautiously. Seeing that it was Tang Zheng, he walked to the balcony and closed the door behind him before answering the phone......
"What's wrong?" Fu Huai'an glanced at the sleeping Lin Nuan in the room through the glass door.
"Old man, I just heard someone say with certainty that he saw Lu Jinnan's woman jumping off the building? Since when did Lu Jinnan start looking for a woman for himself? Do you know what's going on? Tang Zheng sounded confused. "No matter how many times I call, I can't get through to Lu Jinnan."
The moment Fu Huai'an heard this, his dark gaze became sharp. "Who did you listen to?"
Fu Huaian has taken all measures to prevent the news of Bai Xiaonian's jump from leaking.
What's more, very little is known about the hospital staff or anyone else who doesn't know anything about it...... It was Lu Jinnan who raped Bai Xiaonian, so it shouldn't have evolved into such a far-fetched thing as Lu Jinnan's woman jumping off the building.
Tang Zheng stood at the door of the bathroom, took a puff of cigarette, looked around, and made sure that there was no one around before speaking. "Young Master of the Haicheng West Wang Family......"
