Chapter 5
The Disposition of the Actual Girlfriend
Lin Mingshu’s eyes trembled slightly in disbelief. “You… What did you say?”
Fu Nanli looked at Wen Qiao, who was at the door. He raised his hand and said in a hoarse voice, “Come here.”
Wen Qiao walked over and sat by the bed. Fu Nanli grabbed her hand, locking his fingers with hers before he looked up at Lin Mingshu. “This is my girlfriend.”
With the calm disposition of the actual girlfriend, Wen Qiao smiled and said softly, “That’s right, I’m Nanli’s girlfriend. You are?”
Lin Mingshu was thrown into confusion, the colors on her face switching between red and white. While panicking, she exposed herself. “That… That… Actually, I’m pursuing Young Master Fu. I…”
Seeing his daughter’s predicament, Lin Zhenliang tried to round up the situation. “That’s right. We all think that Young Master Fu and our Mingshu are very compatible.”
Fu Nanli stroke Wen Qiao’s slender and soft fingers, feeling a little addicted to it. There seemed to be a layer of cold air shrouded around him. “Without my agreement, you get to proclaim to be my girlfriend? So you think that I’m easy to fool just because I’ve lost my memories? Is that it?”
His voice felt very prestigious. Not only did it make the Lin father and daughter fall into anxiety, but it also caused Wen Qiao’s scalp to turn numb, feeling on tenterhooks.
She was forced to do this. She wasn’t after anything. If Young Master Fu were to regain his memories one day, she needed to cut things off cleanly.
“It isn’t like this. Mr. Fu, you’re mistaken. Our Mingshu heard that you got into the accident and had sustained serious injuries. She wants to take care of you but was afraid that she was in no position to do that. This was why she was muddled and…”
Fu Nanli’s face sank completely. “Since you know that I sustained serious injuries, you should know that I need rest. Irrelevant people can leave now.”
To put it simply, ‘the two of you can scram now!’
Fu Nanli heartlessly gave the order for the guests to leave. After the Lin father and daughter apologized, they left the hospital awkwardly.
The rain continued. Lin Mingshu sat in the car, smashing her handbag against the seat angrily.
Lin Zhenliang wore a doubtful expression. “To think that Fu Nanli already has a girlfriend. Who on earth is that girl? Where did she come from? Why haven’t we heard of her before?”
Lin Mingshu felt indignant. “She looks just like a vixen. From the way she stresses, is she a nurse in the hospital? To think that Fu Nanli likes a nurse. He turned away from so many young ladies from affluent families and ended up choosing a nurse who has nothing but looks? Is he out of his mind?”
“No matter how right or how cultured a man is, he still cannot escape the enticement of beauty. I will go and investigate this nurse’s background first.”
Fu Nanli’s butler, Uncle Li, transferred him into one of the VIP wards. His wound was hurting so the doctor gave him a painkiller injection. It didn’t take long before he fell asleep.
The wind and rain outside was very heavy. In the middle of the night, Wen Qiao felt unsettled as she rested her head by the bed. As she looked at the man’s cold face, she felt at a loss. Had she done the right thing?
After she was reincarnated, she didn’t understand why she became forcibly tied together with Fu Nanli.
Perhaps this was fate.
…
The next day, the rain finally stopped. Wen Qiao secretly slipped away at 6.30 in the morning, when the sun was just starting to rise into the sky. The man on the bed had yet to wake up.
Fu Nanli had lost his memories after all and only remembered her from when she had saved him from the car accident. There shouldn’t be any problems at this end.
Since she had been reincarnated, there were many things that she had to do. She mustn’t let her destiny go the same way as it had in her previous life.
The typhoon had passed and the courtyard was covered in fallen leaves from the camphor trees and Chinese parasol trees. Wen Qiao’s mother had just cleaned up the courtyard and put down the whisk broom when she saw Wen Qiao. “The sandwich and milk were finished by Wen Mo last night but there’s porridge and egg crepe on the stove. I’m off to work at the supermarket.”
Wen Chi and Wen Mo were her younger twin brothers. Wen Mo had autism while Wen Chi had recessive manic syndrome, both of which were genetic mental illnesses. Wen Chi’s manic syndrome became increasingly out of control later on and he committed a crime, causing their difficult lives to become even worse.
