Chapter 237 The Pearl Fell
"Are you alright?" Lu Yuanbo asked, looking at the person who had been keeping his head down and not saying a word.
Faced with his concern, Xie Qianyu didn't want to speak, but then she thought of something, sniffed, suppressed her emotions, and tried to say in a calm tone, "I'm fine, thank you for today!"
Lu Yuanbo paused for a moment, dragged over a stool, sat down next to her, and instead of looking at her, looked at Xie Long, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
"The captain has already figured out the cause of the matter. Don't worry, there won't be any further developments!"
After Xie Long was brought to the health center, he and Zhao Zhongcai asked Xie Qianyu what had happened.
But Xie Qianyu never said anything.
Xie Qianyu felt that even if she spoke up, it would be of no use in getting into the trouble she had caused.
After all, given their current status, even if others bully them, they'll just be told they deserve it!
What else can we do besides provoke them?
Back in the city, hadn't she already seen through the coldness and warmth of human relationships?
When faced with injustice, others tell them that they deserve it, that they were never good people, and that they have to suffer the bullying themselves.
But the Lu family is different.
They helped them a lot.
Xie Qianyu is not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity. She would never do anything to cause trouble for the Lu family when she is unable to repay their kindness for the time being.
This is all her fault! She caused Grandpa to suffer such humiliation and beatings! And she even implicated Uncle Ren.
"It's not your fault."
The sudden, firm voice made Xie Qianyu subconsciously look up.
They met Lu Yuanbo's eyes.
His eyes clearly told her that what she had just heard was not a hallucination; he was really saying it, and it wasn't her fault.
How could she be at fault?
Suddenly remembering something, Xie Qianyu lowered her head again.
But this time Lu Yuanbo saw her condition; she was silently shedding tears, and they never stopped.
Lu Yuanbo felt his heart clench at that moment.
The sight of Xie Qianyu silently shedding tears had a profound impact on him.
It's not about looking beautiful even when crying, nor is it any other kind of stunning appearance.
It's just plain uncomfortable.
She shouldn't be so sad.
The third brother told his younger sister and the others that a girl's tears are very precious, and that they should not let themselves cry, and even more so, not cry because of others.
At the time, Lu Yuanbo didn't quite understand the feeling behind those words.
He just laughed and said to Lu Mingxi, who had provoked him, "He can cry in Xiaoxi's presence now."
However, he suddenly remembered Lu Yuanqing's words.
And I think that statement is absolutely right.
A girl's tears are precious, but Xie Qianyu's tears are even more precious.
The thought flashed through Lu Yuanbo's mind, and he was immediately startled.
"Do you have any injuries on your hands? This is some medicine I got from the doctor. Try applying it!" Lu Yuanbo took out a tube of ointment from his pocket, which was already warm in his palm, and handed it to Xie Qianyu.
It must have been when that group of people started throwing stones at Xie Long that Xie Qianyu was able to stop them at first, which is why her arms are now covered in red and purple marks.
However, after arriving at the health center, Lu Yuanbo noticed that she tugged at her sleeve to cover the scars on her hands.
Therefore, neither Zhao Zhongcai nor Lu Yuanqing noticed it.
Xie Qianyu lowered her head, and in her line of sight, a slightly rough, large hand was right in front of her.
There was a small tube of ointment in my palm.
Her eyes, which were already filled with tears, suddenly filled with even more tears, which streamed down her face.
Xie Qianyu took a breath and tried to open her mouth, but the last two words she uttered, "thank you," were still tinged with tears.
She felt somewhat embarrassed, and also somewhat resigned to her fate.
She doesn't like to cry, and she has rarely cried since she was a child.
The last time I cried was when my grandmother passed away.
When something happened at home, her parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins all blamed her grandfather and severed ties with him for her own sake. She glanced at them coldly, turned around, ignored her grandfather's objections, and went with him to be sent to the countryside.
Her parents once called her cold-blooded. When she overheard this, she didn't feel sad at all. She just watched expressionlessly, and even stood up and laughed at them when they got excited. When they were shocked, she didn't forget to say a few words back.
She was very strong-willed, so even though she was emotionally wounded, she calmly looked at the person who stabbed her.
This was the first time he had ever looked so disheveled, and Lu Yuanbo had seen it again.
How could Xie Qianyu not feel embarrassed?
I used to secretly call him a big idiot.
Now, Lu Yuanbo can openly mock her!
Lu Yuanbo didn't laugh at her. Seeing her in a daze, not taking the ointment, and with tears dripping onto his hand, he knew they were Xie Qianyu's tears. They were so hot; even the rough skin on the back of his hand made him feel the heat.
"...I'll avenge you!!!"
A serious and firm tone.
Xie Qianyu forgot all about crying and stared blankly at Lu Yuanbo.
This time, Lu Yuanbo saw it clearly: a pearl fell from the corner of his eye.
"I will definitely avenge you! I won't let anyone who bullied you today get away with it!" So, stop crying!
Lu Yuanbo didn't know how to say anything comforting, and faced with this situation, he didn't know how to stop Xie Qianyu from crying.
So he told her his plans.
I wanted to make her happy by hearing it.
Xie Qianyu: "..." She dared not be happy at all.
"Don't do anything foolish!"
Xie Qianyu was anxious, really worried that he would seek revenge or something. She couldn't care less about anything else for the moment. She grabbed his sleeve, afraid that he would suddenly run to cause trouble for that group of people.
Lu Yuanbo looked at her with satisfaction, her eyes no longer brimming with tears, and said, "If we don't go now, we'll go later!"
He's not stupid. Those people just caused trouble, and if he goes to retaliate now, even if they're incredibly stupid, they'll still think of Xie Qianyu and the others.
Even if they think it's impossible, what if they start to have doubts?
The best course of action for Xie Qianyu and the others now is to stay away from that group of people and let them forget their existence.
This is truly the best way to treat Xie Qianyu and the others.
However, Lu Yuanbo neither lied to Xie Qianyu nor coaxed him.
Lu Yuanbo is determined to get revenge on those people, all for Xie Qianyu's sake.
A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years; he can afford to wait.
Once this period is over, the sacks will definitely be put on!
Xie Qianyu understood his seriousness, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions. "Please don't! What if they find out it's you...?"
Xie Qianyu was extremely anxious.
She had already received a great deal of kindness from the Lu family, and she really didn't want Lu Yuanbo to be harmed in any way because of her.
“You know better than I do who they are. Why shouldn’t I tell them? Is it because I don’t want to seek justice for myself and for Grandpa and the others? But do you think it’s possible? Lu Yuanbo, I don’t feel wronged anymore. Don’t go looking for trouble with them. I don’t need you to do that!”
