Chapter 345: 109 Compensation Required by President Mu (10)_2

His silence unconsciously reminded Qin Mu of Jing Qing.

That dream in the morning, was it really because of his and Jing Qing’s relationship, or because of Helian Hao and Jing Qing?

Qin Mu was not sure. Later, when Helian Hao fell asleep out of exhaustion, Qin Mu stepped out. He just leaned against the wall, looking somewhat despondent as he smoked.

It seemed like just a few hours had made him much more haggard and aged.

"Can you give me an explanation?"

"It’s a long story!"

He said when Qin Mu asked him for an explanation.

"Is it a long story, or are you afraid to tell?"

Qin Mu was suspicious of Jing Qing, so she didn’t mince words with him.

Jing Feng, hearing his little sister’s name and looking at her, took an annoyed drag of his cigarette and said, "Mind your own business."

"If it were you lying in that hospital bed today, I wouldn’t bother. But that’s my closest sister in Rongcheng. You’re telling me to stay out of it?"

"Their sentimental debt, isn’t it all because of you in the end?"

Jing Feng retorted coldly, losing his temper.

Qin Mu...

Suddenly, the corridor fell silent. The two of them just stood on opposite sides. Qin Mu felt a sudden chill in her body, and her heart turned cold as well.

"Why don’t you blame your sister for being too selfish and wilful? Why do you still say it’s because of me when you clearly know everything? Just because one hates me, and the other likes me?"

After a while, the corridor echoed with a voice full of despair.

Qin Mu looked at him with disappointment, knowing that he wasn’t oblivious, but his heart had likely been blinded by family affection for too long.

"I take back everything I just said."

Jing Feng commented indifferently with a puff of his cigarette.

"You don’t have to!"

Qin Mu gave him a defiant, sharp glance, turned her head, and went back to the ward.

Qin Mu didn’t care what Jing Feng said at all. A best friend’s man could be considered a friend, or could be treated as an acquaintance. Such relationships were not worth getting angry over.

She just hoped Jing Feng could be someone who understood reason, not just momentarily, but always.

They say ignorance is bliss, but she thought, some things are best understood clearly for a lifetime.

Late, she stayed with Helian Hao, drawing pictures in her hospital room.

After Helian Hao woke up and saw her drawing, she felt a bit sorry, "Am I disturbing your work? You’ve been so busy lately."

"Are you giving me empty pleasantries?"

Qin Mu looked at her reproachfully, putting the drawing pen and paper aside.

"Jing Feng just went to get you some brown sugar. I’ve made you a cup; it’s in the thermos. You should get up and drink some now."

Qin Mu said, then stood up and helped her to sit.

"Actually, having a miscarriage is not as scary as you think, and I’m not as frail as Lin Daiyu."

Helian Hao’s voice was still weak, as she had been drowsy from the anesthetic shots.

"Then why are you lying in bed, so pale?"

After helping her sit up, Qin Mu went to get the thermos and poured a cup of brown sugar water for her.

In this winter, at this moment, drinking a steaming cup of brown sugar water couldn’t be more perfect.

Jing Feng was still very considerate. Later, he called Jing Qing, but she didn’t answer, so he went back to the apartment to check.

"What exactly happened this morning? Why did you suddenly have a miscarriage?"

Qin Mu stood by and asked while watching her drink the water.

Helian Hao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and a bitter smile spread across her lips.

She didn’t even know she was pregnant, and as an obstetrician, she had been unaware of her own pregnancy.

She wanted to laugh, but thinking of Jing Qing, she couldn’t bring herself to smile at all.

"Jing Qing seems to have taken that stuff. Jing Feng discovered it and argued with her this morning. Then I overheard it, and so I..."

Helian Hao recounted the incident to Qin Mu, who felt a bit weak in her legs and sat back down in the chair.

"She’s really hopeless!"

Qin Mu murmured to herself.

"It’s not just that she’s hopeless. Her temperament has changed a lot. She used to at least pretend on the surface, but now..."

Helian Hao stopped talking, gritting her teeth instead.

She thought of the little Little Douya she had just lost and didn’t even want to face the Jing Family anymore.

As for Jing Feng...

Maybe they should have never been together in the first place. Perhaps she shouldn’t have gone with him to get the certificate, and even if they did, she shouldn’t have stayed with him.

"I’m sorry!"

Qin Mu said these three words upon seeing Helian Hao suddenly appear distraught.

"Sorry?"

Helian Hao asked, puzzled.

"Yeah. Although some things aren’t nice to hear, they’re not without reason. If it weren’t for my involvement between you two, maybe you and Jing Qing wouldn’t have ended up in such an ugly place today."
