Chapter 362: Considerations
Translator: Lonelytree
Late that night, Lu Yan came to visit me.
I took a bottle of drink, and we sat on the rattan chair on the balcony. The hospital was quite busy, even at night. The process of life and death never cared about the passage of time.
However, the VIP wards were relatively quiet. This was the power of capitalism.
Lu Yan looked at the lit corridors not far away from where the normal patients were. They were haggard-looking, lying on the ground and sitting on the benches. “Once upon a time, I was one of those people.”
I took a sip of my drink. “But you’re not anymore.”
She nodded. “But I shouldn’t even have to suffer in the first place.”
I glanced at her and smiled. “So does that you mean you’re going to fight to gain back what you’re owed?”
She looked at me. “Nanxing, wouldn’t you?”
I didn’t look at her. I only shook my head. “I can’t answer that for you. You’re the only one who can make that decision.”
She looked at me and sighed. “Nanxing, I like this about you the most. You have compassion and respect for others.”
I smiled. “Lu Yan, that is the highest praise I’ve gotten. Compassion? How am I compassionate? I merely don’t care because it doesn’t involve me.” I stopped smiling and said seriously, “Lu Yan, I’m not you. I don’t know how much pain and suffering you’ve endured when you were outside on your own. Therefore, I can’t give you opinions because I am an observer.”
Lu Yan nodded. “That’s why I said that you’re compassionate. I know you left the Nan family, but you didn’t take revenge on them.”
I turned my head to look at her. “You investigated me?”
She smiled and didn’t deny it. “Before I do anything, I need to find out everything about the characters I have to deal with.”
I nodded. “In any case, you’re right. I didn’t take revenge on the Nan Family because I didn’t need to. Lu Yan, I believe in karma. Therefore, I only took back the things my father deserved. I didn’t touch or demand anything more because I know the remaining members of the Nan Family. I don’t need to do anything because eventually, they will get what they deserve.”
“Nanxing, you have great wisdom,” Lu Yan said sincerely.
I smiled. “Lu Yan, you’re the one with great wisdom. I saw that today.”
Lu Yan smiled.
We clinked our drinks cans.
Lu Yan let out a long sigh. “I knew my tactics wouldn’t fool you and Ye Qian, and I didn’t intend to. Even if Ye Qian saw through it, she wouldn’t dare to expose me because she couldn’t even protect herself.
“As for you, I knew you wouldn’t drag yourself into the mess because it had nothing to do with you. So I had nothing to worry about.” Lu Yan was very relaxed.
I glanced at her from the corner of my eyes. “What if I chose to help Ye Qian?”
Lu Yan shook her head, she smiled. “Ye Qian has already chosen the wrong side from the beginning. You’ll never befriend her because she has sided with Jing Ning and Gu Yan. Both Ye Qian and I want to be your friends, but Ye Qian has already lost her chance. As for me, I don’t dare to ask for more. Like what Jing Ni said, I am already satisfied being your dorm mate. Nanxing, I know that as long as I don’t do anything to harm you or violate the general morality, we’ll be able to coexist peacefully, right?”
I thought for a moment and nodded. “Lu Yan, why is it that you and Ye Qian are so cautious around me? Am I that scary?”
I looked at her. She didn’t avoid my gaze. Instead, she smiled and nodded. “We don’t want to be your enemies.. We do not wish to fight you.”
