Chapter 325  I have something to tell you

Somewhere in District C. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Beep. Beep. Beep.

The constant sound of the heartbeat monitor was heard inside a bedroom.

"A friend of yours?" Pride asked Bella Qin after cleaning the wounds of the patient who was lying unconscious on the bed.

"Not really. But he's a friend of our Bai Xue, his name is Bai Jingye." Bella replied. She was leaning against the wall while holding a glass of red wine. "So you better save him."

Pride sighed. If the man in bed was a friend of Lu Mengjie, he was surely going to do his best to save him. "You shouldn't drink wine after having your blood transfused."

It was lucky enough for them that Bella had the same blood type as Bai Jingye. They were able to transfuse blood to him just in time or else the poor man would have already died from blood loss,

"I'm fine, worry about him." As she straightened herself, she staggered a bit.

When Pride noticed this, he instantly stood and went to her side. He held her by her arm to support her. "Can't you just listen to me just once?"

She chuckled softly upon hearing his words. She lightly tapped his cheek as she looked at him straight in his eyes. "You know I prefer you listening to me instead, right?"

The man couldn't help but look helplessly at her. He may have a stoic face but when it came to this woman, it was a different matter. Ever since she was introduced to him by Lu Mengjie, he had his eyes on her. Before he knew it, he was already pursuing her. Pride was rejected by Bella so many times. MANY. He was perfect. He had the looks, the brain, he was rich and tall, women would always look his way so what made Bella Qin so different? The woman was walking with high walls surrounding her. She refused to open her to anyone. It was only Lu Mengjie who managed to climb those walls. But now, he finally did as well.

"Instead of drinking this, why don't I prepare your favorite dessert?" He said as he took the glass of wine away from her hold.

"I would love that," she replied with a sweet smile. "While you're at it, I have a call to make. With Bai Jingye's death all over the news, it should have reached our little Mengmeng's ears. We have to tell her the truth before things get worse."

Pride nodded his head in agreement as he brought her to sit at the sofa in the room. "Then I shall get your treat while you do so."

As Bella Qin was left in the room with the unconscious Bai Jingye on the bed, she picked up the phone that was laying still on the coffee table. Just as when she was about to dial Lu Mengjie's number, she suddenly received a message notification from Matsuma, halting her from tapping on the phone's screen.

It had been days since Yong Liwei was brought to the hospital. He remained unconscious during those days.

Most of Lu Mengjie's time was at the hospital to watch over his husband. Other than that, she was trying to reach out to Tian Ruyi but since she was being avoided, she couldn't contact her at all. Even if she tried to see her in her place, no one was there to answer the door.

A few people had visited Yong Liwei while she was with him in the room but since his condition was the same, they didn't stay long especially when Lu Mengjie couldn't really entertain the guests with many things happening all around her.

That morning, Lu Mengjie was in the middle of a call with Si Hongqi. "She wouldn't answer your calls too?"

"She blocked me, Mengjie." Si Hongqi sighed. Just like her, he was trying to contact Tian Ruyi. "I'm at her place right now but no one seems to be at home. I called her manager, it seems like she had contacted him a few days ago, canceling all her projects." "Eh?" She was surprised with what she heard. Was Tian Ruyi even abandoning her work?

"One of her neighbors said that they saw her leaving with a case…" Si Hongqi trailed off. "I really don't know where she could have gone to."

Lu Mengjie pursed her lips. She didn't want to use any of the AI to track Tian Ruyi. If she were to find out about it, she would most certainly not be pleased.

"Do let me know if you find something." She sighed.

"I will."

After the call ended, Lu Mengjie went back to sit at the chair that was beside Yong Liwei's bed. She stared at the unconscious man before her. "Liwei, when will you wake up?" She said softly as she reached out and took his hand in hers.

The only sounds heard in the room were the mechanical beeps from the machines that were on the other side of the bed.

It was only a matter of a few minutes before Lu Mengjie's phone began ringing again. When she checked who the caller was, this time, it was from Madam Red.

Answering the call, she pressed the phone against her ear. "Yes?"

"Sweetie, I heard what happened. How are you? Are you alright?" The other woman's anxious voice was heard on the other side of the call. Usually, Bella Qin was one of the people who would call her first when something happened to her but surprisingly, a few days have already passed and yet she only called her now.

"Yes, I'm alright," she replied with a faint tone in her voice. Lu Mengjie was sleepless and tired after what happened. Aside from that, she was also mourning for Bai Jingye. His funeral was scheduled to be held a couple of days from now. The woman on the other line couldn't help but sigh when she heard the tone in her voice. "Xiao Meng, I have something to tell you but I think it will be better if I tell this to you in person. Can you meet me today?"
