Chapter 220: Chapter 140 Little Thing, You Dare to Care About Another Man

As Qu Mei fainted from distress, Bei Ran immediately called for a Doctor who, after examining the patient, said: "The patient is still rather weak; do not agitate her for now."

Bei Ran nodded, then said to Duan Feixun, "Let’s step outside for a talk!"

Duan Feixun walked out with her, and Bei Ran, with her sharp eyes, noticed the contract in his hand. She asked, "Is that for Li Huan?"

"Miss Bei is so smart and thoughtful!" Duan Feixun acknowledged wryly.

Bei Ran snorted, "Lawyer Duan is really something, wrapping up two cases in one visit!"

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Duan Feixun gave a bitter smile, "Miss Bei, you know as well that I am only fulfilling Mr. Zhang’s commission."

"But you know very well that Mr. Zhang is a scumbag!" Bei Ran couldn’t help but express her anger, "On the day of the wedding, he injured two women. Regardless of who’s right or wrong, any man who hits women is a scumbag!"

"I agree with you there!" Duan Feixun said, "I’ve dealt with many cases, and I hate it most when men use their strength to hit women! That’s why I’d rather be hit by Zheng Tong than ever strike back!"

His last sentence made Bei Ran laugh, "Zheng Tong hits you?"

"Don’t believe me?" Duan Feixun immediately rolled up his cuffs to show her the wounds on his arm, "See? She pricked me with a cactus..."

Bei Ran laughed, "Actually, your married life seems to be getting more interesting!"

"I think so too!" Duan Feixun re-buttoned his sleeves, still with the gentlemanly demeanor of a top lawyer, "I also never knew that having a woman in life could feel so comfortably special!"

"So..." Bei Ran looked at him, "women don’t ask for much. If you try to see it from their perspective, Qu Mei and Li Huan might be wrong, but the root of the problem is Mr. Zhang..."

Duan Feixun nodded in understanding, "I’ll talk to Mr. Zhang again, see if there’s any way to compensate the two women! You understand as well that being with such a scumbag wasted the youth of two women, so why continue making mistakes, right?"

"Me understanding doesn’t help, the women have to understand!" Bei Ran gave him a look, "I won’t be your advocate, so don’t even dream about it! Of course..."

At that moment Bei Ran stopped, gazing at him intently.

"Feel free to state your condition!" Duan Feixun was sharp too.

Bei Ran’s almond eyes shifted, then she said, "I want to know, why does Gu Qingchen want to divorce me?"

Duan Feixun sighed, "It’s said that those involved are too close to see clearly while observers can see things objectively. Miss Bei, you are an intelligent person, have you never thought about why Gu Qingchen would want a divorce?"

"We’ve had a four-year contract marriage, you’re his representing lawyer, you know the deal," Bei Ran didn’t lie to his face, "Perhaps, with the contract coming to an end, he got bored, and it’s only reasonable to end this life."

Duan Feixun nodded, "To think that way is human nature, but Gu Qingchen was still in touch with you before he knew you had his child, he even felt jealous about your relationship with Tang Baijin and personally treated you when you were ill. Being as sharp as you are, it’s not hard to guess that he actually likes you! But men, especially Eastern men, are not in the habit of expressing their love openly."

"Or, he got used to life with me, after living together for four years," Bei Ran analyzed, "Just as I got used to having him in my life. We’ve woken up to the sunrise together, shared the same pillow, we’ve simply gotten used to each other’s presence."

Duan Feixun then said, "We’ve finally touched on the crux of the matter. Do you love him?"

Bei Ran remained silent.

Perhaps that’s where the crux of the problem lies.

She was used to a life with him, but it was just a habit, like how we get used to the sun rising from the east every day, like how we are accustomed to the ebb and flow of the tides, like how we accept the natural transition of spring, summer, autumn, and winter...

Without him by her side, she would get used to it too, and the sun would still rise from the east, the tides would still ebb and flow, and the seasons would still alternate unabated...

Having said this, Duan Feixun thought, Bei Ran is an understanding person, she will grasp what he meant.

"Miss Bei, I still have to talk with Li Huan, so I will take my leave now," Duan Feixun headed for Li Huan’s ward.

Bei Ran nodded, so it turned out, Gu Qingchen thought that she didn’t love him, and that’s why they’d divorce!

But, Gu Qingchen, do you love me?

Or perhaps, you too were just accustomed to the shared life of four years, otherwise why would I still see that ring, not my size, left in your office drawer!?

No matter who that "she" is, whether you’ve moved on or not, they both understand. Married life is about mutual habits; talking about love still falls short.

Before Bei Ran could leave, Duan Feixun was driven out of the room by Li Huan, who stood at the door and cursed loudly: "I want to be with Asheng, he said I’m the one he loves the most... he said it, I won’t break up..."

Duan Feixun, carrying a folder, came out and said to Bei Ran, "Li Huan is probably going crazy! She really needs to see a psychiatrist!"

"You’re cruel enough, she’s already in such a tragic state after losing her child! And it was kicked out by the child’s own father, and now you’re telling her that Zhang wants to break up with her!" Bei Ran sighed, "And you even ask her to see a psychiatrist, Lawyer Duan, I don’t even feel like speaking!"

"Forget it, I should go first," Duan Feixun said, "Miss Bei, I’m leaving first!"

Bei Ran ignored him. Although she could understand Duan Feixun’s job—that he was just doing his paid work—none of these things were good.

At this moment, Li Huan slowly squatted at the entrance of the ward, talking to herself and alternating between crying and laughing: "Child, mom will make sure you live well, daddy won’t abandon you..."

Watching from a distance, Bei Ran asked a nurse who passed by: "I would like to know who is Li Huan’s attending doctor? She might need a psychologist, she really can’t take the blow... Continuing like this, she will break down sooner or later..."

"Her attending doctor is Zhang Hui from the obstetrics and gynecology department," said the nurse. "I just saw Doctor Zhang seemed to be patrolling in this inpatient area."

Bei Ran nodded: "All right, I will go and talk to Doctor Zhang."

As Bei Ran went to look for Zhang Hui, she unintentionally passed by Tang Baijin’s ward. He was staring out the window, his eyes void of spirit, looking utterly disheartened.

Seeing Tang Baijin like this made Bei Ran’s heart ache a little.

It’s like the saying, "I didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!"

Even for Li Huan, who had nothing to do with Bei Ran, Bei Ran didn’t want to see her become mentally ill from extreme sorrow. She hoped a psychologist could provide the correct guidance for Li Huan, especially since it also involved her first love—Tang Baijin!

She stood at the doorway, ultimately not stepping inside!

She was no longer a ray of light in his heart but a shadow instead.

Since that was the case, she should just quietly disappear.

So, Bei Ran quickened her steps, walking past his ward, and then went to find Zhang Hui.

Just when Bei Ran reached the elevator, the elevator dinged, and Tao Yu’en walked out.

As soon as Tao Yu’en saw Bei Ran, she almost blamed all the faults on Bei Ran.

She immediately said, "You woman dare to visit my son, he is not eating or drinking because of you..."

"Tao Yu’en, don’t spew blood! If it wasn’t because of you, how could Baijin and I have broken up?" Bei Ran said angrily, "What right do you have to lecture me now?"

"Bei Ran..." Hearing Bei Ran’s voice in the ward, Tang Baijin immediately ran out and saw Bei Ran at the elevator. He stepped forward to shield Bei Ran with his body and said to Tao Yu’en, "Madam, I have no relationship with you, if you hurt her again, I will not be polite!"

Tao Yu’en, seeing Tang Baijin so protective of Bei Ran, angrily said: "I am your mother, but you speak to me like this!"

"From the moment you hurt Bei Ran, you no longer are!" Tang Baijin said, his expression frosty, "Just leave, I don’t want to see you!"

Seeing others pointing fingers and murmuring about her, Tao Yu’en had no choice but to escape via the stairs!

At this time, Tang Baijin looked at Bei Ran intently: "Bei Ran, I’m sorry for what happened back then..."

"It’s all in the past, why bring it up?" Bei Ran said indifferently, "Alright, go back to your room and rest!"

Tang Baijin had run out too hastily and was about to fall when walking away, but Bei Ran steadied him: "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine..." Tang Baijin gazed at her affectionately, "Don’t worry... Bei Ran, did you come to visit me?"

Before Bei Ran could reply, she saw a spotless white figure standing not far away, and unexpectedly, she encountered Gu Qingchen.

And that man was looking at her with a face full of chilling aloofness.

She wanted to explain to Gu Qingchen, but at that moment, Tang Baijin’s body slid down, and she quickly supported him, "What’s wrong with you?"
