Chapter 435: Chapter 435: What to Do When You Can’t Sleep (1)
Lu Wanwan couldn’t figure out one thing: among the people who knew about the incident, apart from her grandmother who had already passed away from illness, there was only Aunt Qiu, Gu Annan, and the people Zhao Chen had sent to investigate.
None of these people would likely tell Lin Yu about the matter.
“She knows?” Gu Annan’s brows lifted slightly.
Lu Wanwan nodded and sat down on the sofa, “I originally planned to just investigate secretly, but Lin Yu suddenly appeared and she told me the truth herself. I was caught off guard.”
Gu Annan pondered for a moment, then sat down beside her and showed her a video that was circulating online.
“It’s said to be extracted from the company’s surveillance, and there is a blind spot in the angle. Your body blocks the view of your arms, so it’s not clear whether you pushed her or not,” he explained as he played the video, pointing at the spot methodically, “But from the looks of it, your reaction is very agitated throughout, your face filled with hatred. On the contrary, she seems to be the consoler.”
Watching the video, Lu Wanwan suppressed her rage, her lips turning white from biting them, her eyes fixed on the screen.
“Right here, at the end,” he continued in a low voice, “that’s right, she was ready. After provoking you, she pretends to reach out to comfort you, and you would naturally not let her touch you. Under this blind spot of the camera, it looks as if she was pushed by you, and at that time, you also showed no intention of trying to rescue her.”
“You didn’t hear what she said to me, how could I possibly have the heart to save her? I wouldn’t blink even if she died in front of me!” Her eyes reddened as the words Lin Yu had said to her came back, and she’d never hated someone’s malice so much.
“I know I shouldn’t have been impulsive, and I should have thought more about why she would say those things,” she said with clenched teeth, “but when I heard those words, I really didn’t have the mind to think so much, I…”
“It’s alright, the person who ended up crippled isn’t you,” Gu Annan quickly turned off the screen and tossed the pad aside, not allowing her to see the comments below.
He turned her face towards him, looking into her reddened eyes which still held swirling tears. Her entire face, in fact, her whole body, was tense.
Even if she knew she had been provoked on purpose, just the memory of it brought her to the verge of collapse.
“Listen, we will definitely find out how she knew about this in advance,” his thumb caressed her cheek back and forth, his voice cool, “Lin Yu chose to throw herself down the stairs because she knew that was her only chance for survival. If she hadn’t done that, her end would only have been worse.”
Lu Wanwan lifted her head, her face reflected in his deep, unfathomable eyes, and could only nod in agreement.
“It also proves one thing, she has no other options left,” Gu Annan spoke slowly and quietly, but every word seemed to strangle, “Since she wants to gamble with her life, let her see that even risking her life, there’s no way out. Thinking that hiding in the hospital would be safe is just naive.”
She was startled for a moment, the room without lights on was slightly dim, casting his handsome features in even more profound relief.
“What are you looking at me for?” he asked deliberately, seeing Lu Wanwan’s somewhat dazed gaze.
He stayed silent, scrutinizing her gaze.
“You’re holding my face, if I don’t look at you, I can only roll my eyes,” Lu Wanwan muttered. She felt compelled.
Gu Annan’s brows rose slightly, “The more angry you get, the more she achieves her goal. Think of something else to cool down.”
