    Bai Wei was still furious, but upon spotting someone with a camera around the corner and many in the crowd holding up their phones, she dared not make a scene and followed Fu Han.


    “Wait for me,” Luo Qinghe hurried after them,pletely ignoring Qin Xiaonian’s calls.


    Outside the Emergency Room, only Qin Xiaonian was left, facing more and more people taking photos of her, she finally realized how embarrassing the situation was and ran off, covering her face.


    …


    Inside the Mercedes-Benz Unimog cabin.


    Fu Han, sitting in the driver’s seat, didn’t turn her head as she reached out her hand to the back, “The car keys.”


    Luo Qinghe immediately handed over the keys, and the car immediately started, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow.


    When they came to the hospital because they couldn’t find a taxi, it was Fu Han who drove this car to the hospital, so she was not as flustered now as she had been the first time; her hand on the steering wheel also stopped trembling, and she even had the leisure to nce at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror.


    Bai Wei was still wearing a duckbill cap, only her mask had been removed. She sat with her arms crossed, gazing out of the window, her beautiful face as cold as ice, radiating an aura that screamed ‘keep away from me.’


    Luo Qinghe reached out, attempting to grab Bai Wei’s hand, “Xiaowei, listen to me, things aren’t what you think they are…”


    “Don’t touch me with those dirty hands that have been all over other women, it makes me sick,” Bai Wei snapped Luo Qinghe’s hand away with disgust painted across her face.


    For a moment, Luo Qinghe’s face became aplex mix of embarrassment, anger, guilt, and shame, but eventually, he said in a low voice, “Xiaowei, even a murderer is given a chance to defend himself before execution; isn’t it too much for you to sentence me to death without letting me speak a word?”


    Bai Wei snorted, but her expression softened somewhat from before.


    Luo Qinghe, like a drowning man clutching at thest straw, hurriedly began to exin, “Xiaowei, I was already made up and about to go on stage at the time, I asked the Assistant to pour me some honey water to soothe my throat because I worried about my voice hurting after speaking too much. Not long after, Qin Xiaonian came with the honey water, saying my Assistant had suddenly arranged other tasks and sent her to bring the water. I didn’t think too much and drank it, and after that I didn’t know anything until Fu Han kicked me awake…”


    “Her kicking you was light; if it were me, I’d have scalded you with boiling water,” Bai Wei angrily poked Luo Qinghe’s forehead with her pointed finger, rebukingly said, “Are you an idiot? Just drink the water someone sends you; aren’t you afraid it’s poisoned so that you can’t talk after drinking it?”


    “I know I was wrong, I won’t do that again,” Luo Qinghe, seizing the opportunity, grabbed Bai Wei’s hand, pleadingly said, “Can you forgive me this once, just this once?”


    Bai Wei had not replied when Luo Qinghe’s phone rang. He took it out to look, and his already pale face lost itsst trace of color, turning ashen.


    He let out an almost inaudible sigh and pressed the answer button, “Mom, did you need me for something?”


    “Youe back home this instant,” Luo Qiluo’s sharp voice emerged from the phone, marked with intense irritation, “It’s bad enough that you fool around all the time, but now you’ve embarrassed the Li Family… you’re simply a disgrace.”


    “I’m noting back…” Luo Qinghe paused, nced at Bai Wei, and then continued, “I can handle my own affairs, I don’t need you interfering.”


    “Fine, those are your words,” Luo Qiluo raised her voice, practically seething, “Since your brother secretly let you out, since you won’te back, I have no choice but to punish him.”


    Fu Han’s upbringing stopped her from eavesdropping on other people’s phone calls, but Luo Qiluo’s voice was so loud while driving she couldn’t cover her ears, and could only listen in.


    Inparison to Luo Qinghe, she was more worried about Bai Wei, indeed Bai Wei’s face was looking terrible, and if you looked closely, you could see she was trembling slightly.


    In that moment, Luo Qinghe had already hung up the phone. He reached out again trying to hold Bai Wei’s hand, speaking in a negotiating tone, “Xiaowei, I have to go back for a bit, you stay well with your parents, and I’ll call you when I have time.”


    “No, I won’t let you go back,” Bai Wei abruptly raised her voice, desperately clutching Luo Qinghe’s sleeve, “What if your mother locks you up again?”


    Fu Han was also surprised to learn that parents still locked up their children, and she herself didn’t want Luo Qinghe to go back; she hesitated whether to speak up when suddenly her own phone rang.


    She looked down and it was He Xing calling. She swiped the screen to answer, “He Xing, is something the matter?”


    “Where are you?” He Xing’s cold voice came through, devoid of any warmth.


    Already feeling chaotic at heart, Fu Han’s unease intensified upon hearing He Xing’s words, and a startling anger rose within her. She spoke as calmly as possible, “We’re on the road, about to head back.”


    There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then a few secondster He Xing spoke again, this time with evident reproach, “Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on Bai Wei and not let her act recklessly? Look online for yourself and see what you’ve done.”


    “What’s wrong? Wasn’t it just Bai Wei getting angry and hitting Qin Xiaonian? It didn’t blow up into a big deal,” Fu Han said while recalling the previous events in her mind—she remembered someone taking photos when Bai Wei hit Qin Xiaonian, but Qin Xiaonian really deserved it; a beating was light for someone like her.


    “Didn’t you consider the consequences when you hit someone?” He Xing’s voice filled with fury immediately rang out, “Just go online and see for yourself how many people are saying that Bai Wei is hopelessly in love with Luo Qinghe and that Luo Qinghe and Xia Ning had an affair at the premiere, which got livestreamed.”


    “What?” Fu Han was so shocked that shepletely failed to notice the red light at the intersection, or maybe she saw it but mistook the elerator for the brake.


    Bang!


    The two cars collided at the intersection; the sound wasn’t loud, but the soft noise caused an explosion in everyone’s hearts.


    Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe instinctively held each other’s heads, but Fu Han wasn’t so lucky—her head hit the steering wheel hard.


    The intersection turned into chaos, with many drivers mming on their brakes, some calling the police, others taking photos, the scene was lively to say the least.


    He Xing, on the other end of the phone, heard the screams of Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe; he panicked, calling out Fu Han’s name several times, but no one responded. His heart sank.
