Chapter 220: Time to Go Home

“That’s a human life after all. How can you live with your conscience if you don’t save her?”

At that time, Lu Qingye did not think too much about it. He took the initiative to call the police and an ambulance. The patient was bleeding profusely and the hospital’s blood bank was insufficient. He even used his connections to get people to send blood from all the nearby hospitals over.

He only heaved a sigh of relief when Meng Chuyuan was out of danger.

Thinking of the night of the accident, Meng Chuyuan’s eyes darkened.

It was the night Lu Qingye saved her. She had sneaked out from under the noses of those people. Afraid that they would catch up to her, she ran all the way, looking back as she ran.

She finally found a way out, but a car hit her.

Meng Chuyuan thought that the car accident would end her life and she would be free. She did not expect that the first person she saw when she woke up in the hospital ward was Lu Qingye.

At that time, she was lying on the hospital bed and her entire body was in pain. She tried her best to open her eyes and saw a man standing by the window with his back facing her. In the light, he slowly turned his head and his hazy facial features appeared in her eyes.

After that, the police came to her for a statement. Only then did she find out that the culprit had absconded in fear of punishment. It was Lu Qingye who saved her when he passed by.

Lu Qingye gave Meng Chuyuan a second chance at life and paid all her medical bills. He even found a local school for her and sponsored her to attend university.

She kept her surname and changed her name to Meng Chuyuan.

‘Chu’ meaning beginning and ‘Yuan’ representing water.

She was saying goodbye to the past and hoped to start pursuing a life like that of a fish in water.

…

Suddenly, the abrupt ringtone of a phone pulled them back to reality.

Meng Chuyuan came back to her senses and saw that the phone on the table was Liao Jiayan’s. The caller ID showed that the caller was her husband.

“Sister Yan Yan?” She tried to wake Liao Jiayan up so that she could answer the phone. “Wake up, your husband is calling.”

“Is my husband here?” Liao Jiayan woke up from her sleep. She was so drunk that she couldn’t focus. When she looked up, she happened to see Lu Qingye standing in front of the table, taking up half of her sight.

When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she instinctively replied, “My husband is here.”

Lu Qingye: “…”

Meng Chuyuan picked up the phone on the table and answered the call for Liao Jiayan. Then, she handed it to her and said, “Your husband is here.”

“Oh.” Liao Jiayan took the phone and pressed it tightly against her ear. She half-squinted her eyes as she listened. Under the numbness of the alcohol, she couldn’t even finish her sentence. She didn’t tell the other party her location. “I’m… I’m in a place with wine, meat, and friends…”

In the end, it was Meng Chuyuan who helped her report her location to her husband. Not long after, Liao Jiayan’s husband took her away.

Meng Chuyuan had no intention of leaving. She was eating the remaining skewers and beer, and Lu Qingye was sitting beside her.

“Do you want some?” Meng Chuyuan opened a can of beer and looked up at Lu Qingye.

He declined politely. “I have to drive later.”

“Oh, then I’ll drink.”

After Meng Chuyuan had her fill and calmed down a little, Lu Qingye said softly, “We should go home.”

“Let’s go home.” Meng Chuyuan nodded cooperatively. She picked up her things and stood up.

Lu Qingye took off his coat and draped it over Meng Chuyuan. Afraid that she would lose her balance after drinking too much, he wrapped his arms around her waist and led her away.

Lu Qingye had originally planned to stay only for a week or so when he returned this time. He wanted to head back overseas to continue working on the remaining projects.

When he suddenly learned that his parents were coming back, he could only postpone his original plan for two days.
