The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

"Actually, I've been investigating this all along, but I always felt that this matter wasn't so simple. It's as if someone is trying to stop us from investigating this matter."

"So I've walked into a dead end. This incident has made me even more concerned. Gu Yihuai may have tried to take me away last night, but I kept fighting him for the steering wheel, which is why he didn't succeed. Perhaps he wasn't taken away by someone, but rather they were afraid of being exposed, so they fled to avoid punishment."

As Lin Qingran spoke, she looked at "Zhao Xiang" with trust in her eyes and said softly.

"Xiang'er, you're the only one I can turn to for help right now. This is a secret between us. I don't want my older brother to worry about me, so please don't tell him, okay?"

Zhao Xiang nodded seriously after listening to Lin Qingran's words.

"Okay, I can guarantee that your older brother will never find out."

Lin Qingran nodded, her eyes showing satisfaction.

Zhao Xiang eventually took the bait she had thrown.

"I feel a little dizzy right now and want to rest for a while. Xiang'er, you should go back first. I can manage on my own here."

Seeing that Lin Qingran had closed her eyes again, Zhao Xiang's expression was very calm, and then she spoke softly.

"Okay, you rest first, I'll go make the arrangements."

Lin Qingran remained silent.

Zhao Xiang glanced at Lin Qingran's face.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her expression remained calm. Throughout the entire process, her demeanor told her that she genuinely suspected Gu Yihuai.

I'm very distressed because I have no evidence.

Lin Hao waited quietly outside. When he saw "Zhao Xiang" come out, he got up from his seat and said with concern.

"Xiang'er, how is Qingran? Has she said anything to you?"

Zhao Xiang shook her head slightly, then said in a low voice.

"It's alright. Qingran has rested now. She was just traumatized, which severely depleted her mental and physical strength."

"I'll go back and ask the chef at home to prepare some appetizers for Qingran. She's feeling dizzy right now and can't eat anything. I'm always worried about the quality of food from outside."

Lin Hao nodded, looking at "Zhao Xiang" with gratitude.

"Thank you very much."

Zhao Xiang smiled slightly, her smile carrying a hint of comfort.

"Qingran is all alone now and needs a lot of company. I heard that Gong Juncheng is also in this hospital. I wonder if Shengxia has time to come and talk to Qingran?"

After she finished speaking, she carefully observed Lin Hao's expression.

When Lin Hao heard her mention Sheng Xia, his expression changed, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Zhao Xiang" immediately spoke up.

"Is Shengxia really going to break off her friendship with Qingran? That matter had nothing to do with Qingran. Shengxia really likes to drag innocent people into this."

"Never mind, since she doesn't consider Qingran a friend, I'll just spend more time with her."

Lin Hao took a deep breath and said calmly.

"It's a good thing you went back to Beicheng. Otherwise, Qingran would be lying in a hospital bed with no friends to visit her. The other people are not really Qingran's friends, and they might even make Qingran feel uncomfortable. I'm so grateful to you."

Zhao Xiang smiled, looking sensible and generous.

"Brother Lin, you're too kind. Qingran is my best friend, so it's only right that I do this. I'm willing to do anything as long as Qingran can recover soon."

Lin Hao was deeply moved, feeling that "Zhao Xiang" had completely grown up and was no longer the reserved and mischievous little girl she once was.

"You haven't rested since you came here last night, you should go back and get some rest."

Zhao Xiang nodded and walked out of the hospital.

When she walked into the hospital lobby, she saw Sheng Xia helping Gong Juncheng down.

When Zhao Xiang saw Sheng Xia, her expression was unusually natural. Just as she was about to greet her, Sheng Xia turned her face away, as if she hadn't seen her at all. She glanced at her indifferently and then helped Gong Juncheng leave.

Gong Juncheng naturally saw "Zhao Xiang," and seeing that Sheng Xia was walking so fast, he had no choice but to follow.

After entering the elevator, Gong Juncheng noticed that Sheng Xia's expression was still not very good, and then said in a low voice.

"Aren't you and Miss Zhao very good friends? Why were you avoiding her just now?"

Sheng Xia glanced at Gong Juncheng, her eyes showing a hint of dissatisfaction. "It seems you're almost fully recovered, and now you're even meddling in other people's business."

Gong Juncheng's face was still not good. The stab wound was deep, and if the other party's knife had been slightly off-target, he probably would have died on the spot.

Seeing Sheng Xia's reluctant expression, and noticing that he hadn't heard her mention Lin Hao for some time, he inquired further.

"Are you having relationship problems with Lin Hao?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xia glanced at Gong Juncheng with displeasure.

"none of your business."

Seeing Sheng Xia's reaction, Gong Juncheng probably understood something, and then he said earnestly.

"See, what I said before was completely correct, wasn't it?"

"Who is Lin Hao? Who are we? We're not even in the same circle."

"Even if Lin Hao were to resign for you, so what? You're still not in the same circle."

"In the height of summer, if you can't fit into a relationship, don't force it. In the end, you'll only be the one who feels wronged and hurt."

Sheng Xia remained silent, not uttering a word.

Her feelings of inferiority had indeed been bothering her all this time.

Although it was a pretense of breaking up with Lin Hao, Sheng Xia's feelings for him had genuinely wavered during this period.

She and Lin Hao were indeed not a good match.

Lin Hao sacrificed too much for her.

Sheng Xia even worried that if life changed in the future, the joy they had now would be worn away.

Will it end up like a tragic ending, where the cause is beautiful but the effect is weak?

Sheng Xia even worried that if there was no love between them, many years later, Lin Hao might blame her, blame her for making him lose his chance for promotion, blame him for making him lose his right to shine in the political arena.

This thought had been lingering in Shengxia's mind for some time now, causing her great anxiety.

When Gong Juncheng saw that Sheng Xia, who was usually quick-witted, had fallen silent, his expression changed.

Although he kept saying that Sheng Xia and Lin Hao were not a good match.

But he couldn't bear to see Sheng Xia suffer the slightest injustice.

He then spoke in a deep voice, his face serious.

"Did Lin Hao let you down? Did he bully you? Did he make you suffer? Tell me, and I'll go teach him a lesson."

Upon hearing Gong Juncheng's words, Sheng Xia's expression darkened. She then glanced at Gong Juncheng with displeasure and gently poked his wound.

"You have the nerve to lecture others? I bet you're just too unruly, that's why you get lectured."

Sheng Xia only lightly touched Gong Juncheng's wound, and Gong Juncheng's face immediately turned pale.

Seeing this, Sheng Xia immediately reached out to support Gong Juncheng, who leaned his weight on her and said weakly.

"You woman, are you trying to kill me?"
