Chapter 117: Chapter 137: What If We Scare Big Brother Away? _1

Lin Chen entered the ward with the packed food in his hand.

Ye Wen was lying on the hospital bed browsing on her mobile phone, while Gu Yuexi was sound asleep on the accompanying bed, having barely slept last night taking care of Ye Wen.

"Brother Chen..."

Ye Wen whispered with a slightly reddened face and gratitude mixed with embarrassment in her eyes.

When she jumped off the building yesterday, she saw Lin Chen rushing over, stepping on a car like Superman, and catching her in one swoop, holding her firmly with his hands even gripping her chest.

She still remembered her emotions vividly at that moment.

As she fell, unable to go back, she regretted it while still in mid-air, watching the dark ground rushing towards her, and waiting for death in despair.

Lin Chen was like a miracle in her despair, a shooting star streaking across the sky, filling Ye Wen’s heart with hope in that instant.

Under the impact, she fainted, but before fainting, her heart was surprisingly devoid of any fear.

When she woke up, she found that she had only broken her arm and was otherwise unharmed besides that. This filled her with both relief and lingering fear, as well as a peculiar gratitude towards Lin Chen.

Upstairs was Liu Xuan, her boyfriend who had personally pushed her into the fire, and they had been together for four years since university.

Downstairs was Lin Chen, who had risked his own life to save her, and they were merely acquaintances.

Lin Chen walked over with a smile and put the food he had brought on the table beside them. He lowered his voice and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Ye Wen gratefully replied, "I only broke my left arm, nothing else. Brother Chen, I don’t know how to thank you enough. If it weren’t for you, I might be lying in the morgue or the funeral parlor by now..."

Lin Chen laughed, "We’re not strangers, no need to be polite... How long has she been sleeping?"

Before Ye Wen could answer, perhaps Gu Yuexi had heard them and opened her drowsy eyes. She immediately brightened up, and sat up from bed: "Brother, you’re here!"

Lin Chen laughed, "Now that you’re awake, let’s eat."

Gu Yuexi reluctantly got up and covered her face, "I must look terrible right now..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Beautiful woman, don’t be so self-conscious. Hurry up, wash your face and eat."

Lin Chen’s words cheered Gu Yuexi up, and she picked up her bag and went to the bathroom. After washing, she quickly touched up her makeup before coming out.

She and Lin Chen had yet to cross that final threshold, and she always cared about her appearance - what if she scared her Brother away?

Lin Chen had already set up the small table and laid out the food.

Gu Yuexi sat next to Lin Chen, picked up her bowl and asked, "Don’t you have to go to work?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I’m just a lazy deadbeat, my presence makes no difference."

Gu Yuexi huffed, "That’s not true! If you put your heart into it, you’d be the best at anything, Brother!"

Ye Wen looked at the laughing pair with envy and was happy for Gu Yuexi too. She had found a boyfriend who was so manly and strong, providing a great sense of security.

"How long do you have to stay in the hospital, what did the doctor say?"

Gu Yuexi replied, "It’s not a big issue. I’ll have another checkup in the afternoon, and then I can go home and recover, just need to come back regularly for dressing changes."

Lin Chen laughed, "That’s a good thing."

After a pause, Lin Chen asked, "What do you plan to do about Liu Xuan?"

Ye Wen gritted her teeth, "Break up. I’ll move to a hotel later and look for a new place to live by myself."

Gu Yuexi vouched, "I’ll help you find a place. Gao Xiaomin does real estate and rental, so finding a good place near my house will be easy. We can even have dinner or go shopping together when we’re free."

Ye Wen nodded, "I appreciate it, XiXi."

Gu Yuexi laughed, "It’s just a phone call, no trouble at all. However, Liu Xuan pushed you into jumping off the building, are you really just going to let it go?"

Ye Wen bitterly smiled, "I wish I could beat him up to vent my anger, but Liu Xuan comes from a well-off family, and there’s also the Second Young Master of the Tian Family. They’re not people I can mess with. It’s fine if I just keep my distance."

Gu Yuexi had no response to that. Liu Xuan was one thing, but she knew how troublesome the Tian Family could be.

Hadn’t Tian Ming threatened her just last night, saying she’d have to beg him on her knees?

The trouble was no longer just Ye Wen’s, it had dragged her in, and might even affect the Gu Family.

Thinking about this, Gu Yuexi couldn’t help but feel worried.

Seeing both women fall silent, Lin Chen knew what they were thinking and laughed, "You don’t need to worry. The trouble with the Tian Family has been resolved. Tian Ming won’t dare to bother you again. Ye Wen, you don’t need to fear anyone now. It all depends on what you want - whether you want to break up and distance yourself from them, or take revenge and vent your anger, both are possible."

Gu Yuexi’s eyes widened in surprise. In just one night, the problem with the Tian Family had been solved?

Gu Yuexi subconsciously thought of the night when Zhao Yiheng sent A Long and the others to cause trouble, and how they were swiftly dealt with overnight.

But the Tian Family was a powerful cultivator family, not like Zhao Yiheng!

How did Lin Chen manage to solve the problem?
