Chapter 289: Pinched

Su Muran stared at Bai Qiu’s back. She was smiling, but the smile was cold.

She then turned to leave but her back was a little stiff.

Not long after they left, another woman appeared from the corner of the wall. It was Yan Huan. She caressed her wrist lightly and something flashed past between them.

Su Muran, our competition has just begun. I hope you can grow like how you were in the past. Only a competitor like this will be interesting. That Su Muran is the real Su Muran. You still have a chance to grow.

Her lips curved. The hatred in her eyes slowly faded.

When she returned to where she was staying that night, she quietly applied medication to her wrist. She was afraid Yi Ling would know and make a huge fuss. It was easier not to say and it wasn’t anything big anyway.

She tricked Yi Ling and Luo Lin into eating BBQ. The two of them had been around her the whole time recently and they were busier than her. Now that there was time, they deserved to take a break and she would be able to have some peace too.

However, they didn’t leave for very long before there was a knock outside.

What happened, it is so early? Was there nothing nice to eat? Yan Huan placed the medicine bottle on the table and stood up. However, she felt things were weird. She thought they would be back late. After all, Yi Ling’s appetite couldn’t have been satisfied that easily.

She walked over and opened the door.

“Why are you all...”

She hadn’t managed to finish her sentence before she stood there in shock.

“Why are you here?” She managed to say after a really long pause. She thought Yi Ling might be back or that it might be someone else but she hadn’t expected him. Didn’t he say he was on a work trip? Why was he here?

“I came across the area and thought of meeting up with you.”

Lu Yi stood outside without moving at all. He was tired from travelling and his lips were cracked. His eyes were bloodshot and it was evident he hadn’t had a good rest in a long time.

Yan Huan quickly stepped aside to let him in. She then ran to the kitchen to pour some water.

Lu Yi walked in. He was pretty satisfied with this place. It was quiet and clean, a suitable place to live in. It was definitely more comfortable than hotels.

He took the medicine bottle from the table. It was for people with injuries. He opened the bottle and placed it under his nose. As expected, he caught a whiff of a strong medication smell. The smell spread throughout the whole house and he had smelt it when he first entered.

Why, where was she injured?

Yan Huan brought over a cup of water and placed it in front of Lu Yi.

“Thanks.” Lu Yi took it over and finished half a cup in one mouth. He must have gone without water for a long time. But, this man could always endure and no matter how thirsty or hungry he was, if he didn’t want to say, one wouldn’t have been able to guess.

“Come here.”

Lu Yi placed down the cup and asked Yan Huan to extend her hand.

Yan Huan didn’t understand what he wanted to do. But in the end, she walked over obediently and stood in front of him.

“Where are you hurt?”

Lu Yi asked. Just as he expected, there was a strong medicated smell from her.

Yan Huan hesitated before she extended her arm.

Lu Yi grabbed her hand. His palm then was incredibly dry and she could feel the calluses on his fingers. This man was totally different from Lu Qin.

Lu Qin was brought up in a comfortable and rich lifestyle and to put it bluntly, he was a spoiled brat. However, Lu Yi did everything himself and he would never counted on others.

Hence, his achievements were always higher than the rest, including Lu Qin.

As for Lu Qin, he had stepped over a woman and her name was Yan Huan.

Lu Yi exposed her sleeve and saw the streak of bruises on her arm. They were full of marks and she was scratched. The person must have used a lot of strength. Was he trying to break her arm?

“How did this happen?” Lu Yi could confirm that it was scratched by someone.

“It was an accident, don’t worry.” Yan Huan lowered her head and looked at her feet. She felt her eyes swelling with tears.

At this moment, he was the only one who knew that she was hurt and only he would worry for her and help her.

Lu Yi sighed, he had nothing to say.

He took the medicine and poured some of it in his hand. He rubbed his palms together till they were hot before helping Yan Huan apply it to her bruises.

“You have to rub the bruise away or it will take longer to recover. This might hurt a little, endure it.”

As his hand landed on Yan Huan’s arm, she felt a sharp pain almost as if her bones had break. It was an aching pain that came in streaks.

Even though she couldn’t touch it, it was a pain that was hard to endure.

“How did this happen?” Lu Yi asked again. He didn’t believe her excuses and it was obviously from someone. She hadn’t knocked against anything. If she was for real, she could do it again and let him see.

Yan Huan kicked her shoes, “Someone pinched it.”

“Who?”

“Bai Qiu.”

She pouted slightly, “He wanted to suppress my acting, but I pushed his down instead.” She wouldn’t normally push other’s acting down unless someone had offended her.

“You have a grudge against him?” Lu Yi rolled her sleeve down before staring at her face. He was expressionless but his black eyes were clear; there were two reflections of Yan Huan in his eyes.

At that moment, he only had eyes for her.

What about you?

Yan Huan grabbed her arm and pouted; it was still in pain.

“He was helping Su Muran. SHe couldn’t do anything when I suppressed her acting and she went to find him. Money carried weight for the people from the Su family and they might have promised him something. But she had no idea whether that promise could be fulfilled.

Lu Yi rubbed her hair.

“Take care.”

“Yes,” Yan Huan lowered her head and kicked the side of the table again. She felt a brush of wind against her face; that man had stood up.

“Are you leaving?” She raised her head and asked. She was a little reluctant to see him leave

“Yes, do you have anything else?” Lu Yi still had to travel. He came quickly but had to leave quickly too. He did have something urgent or else, he wouldn’t have gone on this trip too. However, he still had driven a few hours to see her.

But he didn’t say any of this.

Yan Huan lowered her head and didn’t reply.
