Cousin?

"You are—" Fu Ran recalled that she had met this young man with You You. He was the rich second generation that You You said, but she couldn't remember the specific name.

Seeing this, Li Chen quickly fell silent, he passed Fu Ran and was about to stride away.

"Wait, you are Chengyou's cousin?" She has met Ming Chengyou's uncle and aunt, but the children in the family have not had time to meet each other.

"Ah, um." Li Chen said vaguely, "I have to leave first."

After finishing speaking, he dragged his injured leg and limped towards the elevator.

Fu Ranchu stayed outside the ward for a long time, and the doubts in his heart gradually spread, and finally turned into an inexplicable panic.

She had a premonition, and it was bad.

Li Yunling's surname is Li, and the Li Chen that You You said when she was half unconscious...

This boy called her cousin?

Fu Ran patted her chest lightly, not daring to think anymore.

A whole day full of preoccupations, Fu Ran returned to the capital of Yiyun, Ming Chengyou recently shied away from being busy with the company and always came home very late.

The light was not turned on in the room, and she heard light footsteps coming in. Ming Chengyou came out of the shower, lifted the quilt as the previous two days, and crept in.

"I ran into your cousin in the hospital today, and he came to see Youyou."

Ming Chengyou was so startled that his eyelids opened suddenly, he couldn't see Fu Ran's expression at this moment, everything seemed illusory in his eyes, "I thought you were asleep."

"Chengyou, what's your cousin's name?"

"What's the matter? Oh, maybe he and Youyou are classmates."

Fu Ran reached out to turn on the wall lamp, and saw Ming Chengyou leaning on the bedside through the short-lived orange.

With the palm of her right hand propped by her side, she hugged the quilt and sat next to him, "I want to ask you to borrow some money."

Ming Chengyou knew that she would speak up sooner or later. Although Li Yunling made her attitude clear in advance, Fu Ran didn't hear him speak out after all.

This is another dilemma. If this matter has nothing to do with Li Chen, Fu Ran will try his best to the end, no matter what Fu Ran says.

Ming Chengyou took out a cigarette and lit it, "I'll give you 10 yuan. After all, she's not your biological sister. Fu Ran and the You family are not in a hurry. What are you in a hurry for? I don't care if your savings are spent, but after taking the 10 yuan After [-] yuan, I hope you will stop wasting your energy on this matter."

His attitude before and after was completely different.

When she asked him to borrow money, it was only a test.

Ming Chengyou finished smoking and got up to get his wallet. Fu Ran pressed the back of his hand, "No need."

She turned off the light and lay on the bed with her back to Ming Chengyou. The smell of tobacco was just a puff but it permeated the room and it was difficult to dissipate.

The distance that was unintentionally opened cannot be approached by passing through. Neither of the two said anything about it, but each had their own thoughts.

The lawyer who was kicked out of the hospital still came every day. After repeated persuasion by Fu Ran, the uncle and aunt also insisted on seeking justice for Youyou.

The lawyer had no choice, Li Yunling saw that the matter would be detrimental to Li Chen if the matter dragged on, so she planned to speak up.

Uncle Wang went to Fu Ran's studio to pick her up specially. Fu Ran looked out of the window. If not unexpected, many things will have answers today.

"Uncle Wang, the child of my uncle's family is called Li Chen, right?"

"That's right, Young Master Chen has been abroad before, and it's rare to come back. Young Mistress hasn't seen her yet, right?"

Fu Ran changed the subject vaguely, "Is he and Chengyou on good terms?"

"That's for sure. Third Young Master loves Young Master Chen very much, saying that he has a temper like him."

Fu Ran brushed the hair that fell on her cheeks behind her ears, slightly covering up the sneer on her lips.

The car drove into the Li family's villa. Li Yunling and Li Zeqin were both in the living room. She also saw the young man she met at the hospital that day.

"Mom, uncle, aunt."

Li Yunling motioned for her to sit down.

"Xiaoran, we all sympathize with your uncle's family, and now I have something to say to you."

"You also know that young people are prone to impulsiveness. Li Chen and that girl are what you want, but it's not good to have a fight. Since you are also for them, I want you to persuade them to accept the check."

Li Yunling raised her head and stared at Fu Ran, and the people hiding behind were finally willing to show up when they couldn't cover their eyes.

"Mom, you said You You and Li Chen are your love and my wish?" Fu Ran seemed to have heard the coldest joke.

Li Yunling was obviously displeased with her tone, "Isn't it?"

"Does Chengyou know about this?" Fu Ran knew that she was asking too much.

"That's what Cheng You meant."

Fu Ran raised her head and saw Li Chen sitting on the sofa beside him with his head buried in silence.

He is only 20 at the same age as Youyou, but his vigorous age is covered with a black haze, "Li Chen?"

He raised his head, his eyes averted.

"Did Youyou really do it voluntarily?"

Li Chen pursed his lips tightly, with hesitation on his young face, Li Yunling stopped in time, "Xiaoran, what do you mean? You don't even believe my words?"

The mobile phone in the bag rang at the wrong time, Fu Ran looked at the caller ID, it was aunt, "Hello."

"Xiaoran, Youyou is awake, she has passed the dangerous period!"

Did Fu Ran show her first smile after so long? She clenched the phone tightly, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

She put the phone back in her satchel, "Since you said that you and Youyou were voluntary, and you didn't do anything to throw kerosene on her, well, you go to the hospital with me, and we will hear what Youyou said in person. , Did I wrong you!"

"No, Chenzi can't go to the hospital!" Li Zeqin hurriedly stopped, "We promise to pay money."

"Dad," Li Chen stood up, "I also want to find out what's going on, and I want to ask her face to face."

"No."

"Dad, why don't you believe in things I haven't done? Unless you tie me up, I'll jump out of the balcony like last time."

Accompanied by Li Yunling to the hospital, Fu Ran did not expect to meet Ming Chengyou outside the ward.

He was not surprised to see Li Chen, Ming Chengyou stepped forward and took Li Chen aside.

"Chenzi, you are still young. After doing some things, you have to reflect on yourself. It is not terrible to make mistakes. What is terrible is that you are afraid to face them and hide them."

"Cousin, I... I was too impulsive at the time, but I really didn't ruin Youyou's face."

Standing at the door, Fu Ran saw Ming Chengyou pat Li Chen on the shoulder. As for what they said, they couldn't hear clearly because they were far away.

Pushing open the door and going in, the suppressed crying of my aunt rushed over first, and the sunlight that had finally accumulated was washed away by the gloom again.

Youyou was transferred to the intensive care unit, her face was tightly wrapped in gauze and only her eyes could be seen.

Fu Ran resisted the soreness in her nose, she walked over and bent over to get closer, "You You?"

"Sister, I'm in so much pain."

This was the first sentence she said to Fu Ran after waking up.

Fu Ran's eyes overflowed with warmth, unable to hold back the tears.

"Youyou..." The young man followed.

Youyou looked hard at the sound, but Fu Ran couldn't see her expression clearly, only saw her pulling the quilt onto her shoulders.

"I'm sorry." Li Chen walked to her bedside, You You stared at her for a while, and suddenly burst out in shock, "Why is he here? Mom, I don't want to see him—"

Due to the seriousness of her injuries, her words were still weak in her ears, and her words were blurred.

Fu Ran pressed her excited shoulders, "Tell my sister, did he make you like this?"

"Yes! Yes!" The girl's firm voice pierced Ming Chengyou's heart word by word, and Li Chen shook his head in disbelief, "I didn't, I didn't."

"It was he who raped me, it was... it was he who poured kerosene on me and lit the lighter."

Fu Ran was so distraught that she couldn't even imagine the tragic scene.

She stood up and pointed to the door, "Get out!"

"Youyou, did I really treat you this way?"

Aunt ran over to push Li Chen, Li Yunling had left first, Fu Ran opened the door, and said to Ming Chengyou who was standing beside him, "Take him and get out of here."

The gaze she shot straight at him was alienated and indifferent.
