Chapter 90 Knowing the truth

“What is this?” Mo Yichen stepped forward in a rush to check Gu Yan’s wrist.

Realizing that her wound was uncovered, Gu Yan pulled down her sleeve hastily to hide it. The unnatural behavior made Mo Yichen feel more affirmative that something bad had happened.

“Come here.”

Seeing Mo Yichen’s anxious and serious expression, Manla curled her mouth secretly.

Mo Yichen pulled Gu Yan towards him and examined the wound carefully.

It seemed that the wound had just been sterilized and the bandages were brand new.

“Why did you get hurt?” Mo Yichen looked distressed. Gu Yan’s entire wrist was covered with gauze, which seemed to be hurt badly.

Suddenly, Gu Yan realized that they were too close. So, she pulled out her hand quickly and escaped Mo Yichen’s gaze.

“Nothing. I was injured accidentally.”

“Accidentally?”

“Yes. I scalded myself when I went to get some hot water today.”

“This is not a burn. What’s more, why did you scald your wrist instead of your hand?”

Obviously, Mo Yichen didn’t buy her explanation.

In the first place, Manla wanted to see how Mo Yichen would react when he learned that Gu Yan had been hurt by Chen Qian. But she didn’t expect that Gu Yan had no intention of telling Mo Yichen the truth.

Manla couldn’t bear this, so she explained instantly.

“Nobody would hurt her except Chen Qian, why do you think I sent you that message?”

Looking at Manla, Gu Yan felt confused.

“What message?”

Manla realized that she exposed herself. So, she shifted the topic quickly, “It was Chen Qian who hurt Gu Yan’s wrist like this. Gu Yan doesn’t want to tell you, but I can’t stand it.”

Mo Yichen turned around to look at Gu Yan, and then walked to Manla.

“Tell me. What’s going on?”

Manla cleared her throat. She saw Gu Yan shooting her a warning glance.

“Gu Yan came to see me today. However, she happened to meet your mother Li Yunhong and Chen Qian, who would definitely get her humiliated. Well, she’s getting used to it anyway. However, what I can’t accept is that Chen Qian hurt her that much. She stood in the way of the elevator to forbid Gu Yan from leaving. Chen Qian’s nails were embedded in Gu Yan’s wrist. If Gu Yan hadn’t said that she would call the police, Chen Qian would have pestered Gu Yan for a long time.”

Mo Yichen seemed unhappy to hear the story.

All of a sudden, Mo Yichen understood why Li Yunhong said Gu Yan was rude. Being tortured like that by Chen Qian, how could Gu Yan not fight back?

Mo Yichen clenched his fists without saying anything.

“Chen Qian was really sophisticated. I’ve never seen any woman as sophisticated as her since I went into business for so many years. She could pretend to be a good girl in front of your mother, a considerate person before you, and a vicious person when she met Gu Yan.”

Gu Yan waved her hands quickly to stop Manla from talking.

Manla couldn’t accept her acting like this. She shook her head to show her disapproval, “What’s wrong? Why can’t I say it out? Why should Gu Yan suffer this injustice in silence? Chen Qian is her mother’s sweet girl, but Gu Yan is absolutely a cowry.”

Manla voiced her discontents for Gu Yan straightforward. Hearing this, Gu Yan did not say anything anymore, but bowed her head silently.

The only reason that Gu Yan didn’t want Mo Yichen to know the truth was that she didn’t want to get mixed with him anymore.

At this time, a nurse came to examine Manla. Noticing the weird atmosphere between Mo Yichen and the two women, the nurse became curious about what happened.

The nurse checked absently. In the meantime, she observed the situation here.

“I will handle this and get it right. I never thought my mother would come to this hospital today. So, Chen Qian took the opportunity to hurt Gu Yan. I…”

“It’s okay with your mother. It is inevitable for her to be affected by Chen Qian’s lies.”

Manla judged Chen Qian in front of Mo Yichen today for a long time.

“Well, I know her. Just let her go. If she is suppressed, she would probably figure out more methods to hurt me.”

Gu Yan interrupted the conversation between them. She did not want to hear Mo Yichen’s apologetic words, which would only make her feel more tangled.

It was a natural fault for them to meet each other since they belonged to different worlds. She didn’t want to have anything to do with him.

“All the indicators are normal. Don’t drink too much alcohol anymore. Since you got gastrorrhagia this time, you should take good care of your body in the future.” The nurse wrote something on her notebook while she looked up from time to time.

“By the way, are you Mo Yichen?”

The nurse transferred the topic to Mo Yichen.

“Yes.”

“You are rally busy recently. Is the patient in Room 3102 your relative?”

“I don’t know whom you are talking about.” Mo Yichen’s cold tone made the nurse stunned for a while.

“What? But the bill was paid in your name yesterday. Since you are such a celebrity, I noticed your name.”

Mo Yichen guessed, “Maybe the patient is Chen Kaiming. But why did my mother pay the bill in my name?”

Gu Yan was unaware of the dialogue between the nurse and Mo Yichen, “Was Mo Yichen’s friend sick?”

“Hey! My stomach hurts a bit. Could you call a doctor for me?” Manla shouted to the nurse.

Manla looked at the nurse who was pouring oil on the flames fretfully, so she got her away at once.

The ward became quiet again.

Gu Yan stood back to Manla and Mo Yichen, and pretended to be busy. She spread out the cloth cushion above the sofa and rearranged it. She repeated the acts over and over again to avoid any contacts with Mo Yichen.

Seeing her like this, Manla understood Gu Yan’s thoughts and didn’t continue her complaints.

Looking at Mo Yichen who was full of regrets, Manla cleared her throat.

“Well, I’m going to have a meal. I have no appetite if you two staring at me here. I got an upset stomach…”

Manla grumbled and indicated Mo Yichen with a gaze.

Mo Yichen knew that it was inappropriate to talk here. He pulled Gu Yan who was embarrassed to leave the ward.

“Hey. What are you doing?” Gu Yan was dragged out of the hospital by Mo Yichen before she realized what happened to her.

“Hold on!” Gu Yan shook off Mo Yichen’s hands.

“If you want to say anything, say it here. I have to take care of Manla later.” Gu Yan said inexpressively.

But she seemed to be angry.

“We can’t figure it out here. I heard that you haven’t eaten in the whole day. Let’s have a dinner.” Mo Yichen ignored her attitude and took her in his car.
