141 WE HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD HER (1/2)
”Chu Fu, how did you end up in the hospital?” Chu Ling spoke in an incredulous tone.
As usual, Chu Ling exuded natural elegance which complemented her position as the matriarch of the Zhong Clan. She was dressed in a beautiful maroon dress which accentuated her grace even further while allowing her to maintain the dignity demanded by her position.
Chu Fu looked at his cousin with an aggrieved face. Unfortunately, the effect of an old man with a flabby red face making that type of expression would make one feel like poking their eyes out. However, the graceful Chu Ling did not look disturbed.
”Would I be in the hospital if it was not for that girl?” He huffed.
Chu Ling frowned immediately at the words. She looked at the pitiful man in the hospital bed. When this matter had been reported, there were no clear details on the exact incident.
”What did she do? She did not attack you on the hospital grounds, did she?” She asked.
Chu Fu ears became red. If he had really been attacked by that small girl and ended up in a hospital, he would have probably called to his ancestors to take him to the other side. His dignity would have been crushed into nothing.
”No, it was nothing like that. Actually, she did not do anything to me.” He coughed awkwardly.
”Can you speak clearly?” Chu Ling spoke with the authority of a powerful woman.
Chu Fu realised that his cousin was losing her patience. He immediately explained everything, not leaving out a single detail. After all, his mission had been assigned by Chu Ling.
”She did not seem like a bad child. She even tried to warn me about my condition.” He spoke in a rueful voice after he finished his story.
If he had not collapsed at the gate, he would have ignored her warning. Who knows what could have happened in the future? Perhaps his condition would have become severe. He did not know how to feel about the entire matter.
Chu Ling felt dissatisfied by her cousin because of his frivolous attitude. Of course, the girl had seemed nice, and she had leveraged her medical knowledge to ingratiate herself. As a woman who had lived in the circle of affluent families since birth, Chu Ling had seen all kinds of schemes. Naturally, she would not trust things on a superficial level.
”I apologise for failing to accomplish the task.” Chu Fu spoke, sensing the displeasure from the woman. Even though his impression of Hu Lei had changes, he had still failed.
”Do not think too much about it. Focus on your recovery. Your health is the most important thing.”
Chu Ling spoke a few encouraging and admonishing words before leaving the hospital with a frown. In truth, though she looked calm, she felt that her heart was turbulent and stifled. She was confused about her own emotions.
