God of Racing-Chapter 429 - 422

Mu Qinglan was not seriously hurt.

Although it seemed very painful that day, after a check-up at the hospital, there was nothing wrong.

The next day, during a work lunch, Yu Sangwan saw Mu Qinglan.

Mu Qinglan was sitting beside Lu Jinxuan, serving him food and soup, looking very much like a proper girlfriend.

"Qinglan, eat by yourself, don’t worry about me," Lu Jinxuan frowned slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Cough." Le Zhengsheng, sitting opposite them, coughed twice while covering his throat, picked up a bowl of soup, and placed it before Yu Sangwan, "Wanwan, drink more... is the wound on your knee still hurting?"

"Huh?" Yu Sangwan was stunned, knowing he was trying to prevent her from feeling upset, deliberately helping her. Not wanting to reject his kindness, Yu Sangwan cooperated by lowering her head and took a big sip.

Mu Qinglan pouted and complained, "The meals here are alright... but the soup isn’t really great. Anyway, since nothing’s wrong with me, I’ll buy some ingredients another day and borrow the kitchen here to cook some soup myself... do you think that’s good?"

The last sentence was naturally addressed to Lu Jinxuan.

Lu Jinxuan nodded indifferently, "Do as you like, but don’t overexert yourself."

"Hmm, I’ll take care of myself."

Listening to them talk like that, Yu Sangwan poked the rice in her bowl until it was mush. Le Zhengsheng glanced over... it turned into rice porridge, and he truly envied Lu Jinxuan’s good fortune.

When the afternoon break came, Yu Sangwan slept in the room until three or four o’clock before getting up, thinking about going out to take a walk, get some fresh air, and check the progress onsite.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out, she bumped into Mu Qinglan returning with groceries in the corridor.

"Miss Yu." Mu Qinglan smiled and greeted her proactively.

Ever since the last incident, Yu Sangwan’s impression of Mu Qinglan wasn’t good, thinking it’s better to avoid such people.

"Hmm." Yu Sangwan nodded perfunctorily and continued walking out.

As she passed Mu Qinglan, her foot suddenly slipped, and she almost fell, "Ouch..."

"Miss Mu!" Yu Sangwan was startled and hurriedly supported her, "What’s wrong?"

"Sorry!" Mu Qinglan looked at her apologetically, "My leg... I guess my head hasn’t recovered, sometimes it’s like this. Now it’s a bit numb... there’s no feeling."

"Then..." Yu Sangwan frowned, truly unwilling to interact more with her, "Let him accompany you!"

The "him" naturally referred to Lu Jinxuan.

Mu Qinglan hurriedly grabbed Yu Sangwan’s hand that was reaching for the phone, shaking her head and pleading, "No... Jinxuan is very tired, he hasn’t rested well these days, it’s rare for him to have a half-day off, let him have a good rest!"

"Then you..." Yu Sangwan looked at Mu Qinglan, half leaning against her, in a difficult situation, eyebrows tightly knitted.

Mu Qinglan maintained a smiling, gentle demeanor, "Could you help me to the kitchen? It’s not much further."

Compelled by the situation, Yu Sangwan couldn’t abandon someone with limited mobility, hesitatingly nodded, "Alright!"

"Thank you." Mu Qinglan smiled happily.

Once in the kitchen, Yu Sangwan helped Mu Qinglan sit down, "You sit... I’ll be going now."

"Hey..." Mu Qinglan grabbed her, looking embarrassed, "Don’t go yet, my leg... isn’t better, could you help me?"

Yu Sangwan frowned, "What do you want me to help with?"

Mu Qinglan pointed at the groceries on the ground, sighed, "I specially went to the market to buy these, to make soup for Jinxuan..."

Yu Sangwan couldn’t stand it anymore, sneered, "Then you make it! What’s it got to do with me?"

"But my leg can’t move now, it’s inconvenient!" Mu Qinglan grabbed Yu Sangwan, "Could you help me prepare the ingredients? Cooking soup takes a long time, if I don’t start now, I don’t know when my leg will recover, I’m afraid I won’t make it in time..."

"Ha!"

Yu Sangwan found it amusing, "It’s your business, not mine to cook soup!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

She said this while shaking off Mu Qinglan’s grip, ready to leave.

"Miss Yu!" Mu Qinglan held on tightly, "Don’t be like this, I know you’re unhappy about the last matter... I was really scared then, you know how pathetic my bald appearance is, I didn’t know why I said what I did..."

This reason... Yu Sangwan couldn’t buy it.

She shook her head, "Let it be, I don’t care, just like that!"

"Miss Yu!" Mu Qinglan refused to relent, "After all, Jinxuan helped you this time! Don’t you know? He didn’t rest a whole night to restore the blueprints you destroyed... can’t you make a pot of soup to show gratitude?"

These words left Yu Sangwan speechless.

She wasn’t someone who doesn’t reciprocate kindness, one thing at a time, in that matter she owed Lu Jinxuan a thank you. Well... it’s just a pot of soup, making it doesn’t take much effort.

Yu Sangwan looked at Mu Qinglan, then at the ingredients on the floor, rolled up her sleeves, and began to busy herself.

Mu Qinglan smiled, expressing gratitude repeatedly, "Miss Yu, thank you, thank you... Jinxuan will definitely be very happy when he finds out you made soup for him."

"..." Yu Sangwan faced away from Mu Qinglan, feeling both amused and helpless hearing this, she really couldn’t understand Mu Qinglan... too strange!

Well, after all, what does it have to do with her.

After washing and cutting the ingredients, putting them in the pot, mixing in water, setting it on the stove, and covering the pot with a layer of greaseproof paper, Yu Sangwan washed her hands and put them down.

She looked back at Mu Qinglan, "Are you done? Can you handle the rest?"

Mu Qinglan rubbed her leg and shook her head apologetically, "It’s still numb."

"Phew!" Yu Sangwan sighed helplessly, picked up a chair, and sat down, staying far away from Mu Qinglan.

Mu Qinglan always tried to start a conversation with her, "Miss Yu, how’s your postgraduate exam preparation going?"

"Hmm..." Yu Sangwan seemed disinterested, clearly not wanting to engage. Mu Qinglan, feeling awkward, fell silent.

The pot on the stove was steaming.

Mu Qinglan smiled, "Scoop a ladle to taste it first."

Yu Sangwan didn’t respond, she walked over, lifted the lid, and scooped out a ladle.

"Give it to me, I’ll taste it!" Mu Qinglan hurriedly stopped her, eagerly.

It was just a ladle of soup, so Yu Sangwan generously brought it to her mouth, "It’s a bit hot..."

"Yes, I’ll be careful." Mu Qinglan leaned in slowly, tasted it, and immediately raised her thumb in amazement, "Hmm! The taste is really good! And it hasn’t simmered long yet. Miss Yu, your cooking skills are really something... I’ll drink a couple more sips."

Yu Sangwan smiled faintly. Everyone who’s tasted her cooking hasn’t found it lacking.

Mu Qinglan drank the whole ladle and praised, "Quickly cover it, simmer it thicker. It’ll definitely be even better."

Yu Sangwan lowered the heat, let it simmer, and instructed Mu Qinglan, "Keep an eye on this. It doesn’t need much doing for now... I’ll be off. By the time the soup’s ready, your leg should be fine, right? If not, he should be awake."

This time, Mu Qinglan seemed to find no reason to keep her and nodded with a smile, "Alright, I’ll watch it."

Yu Sangwan took off her apron, ready to leave. Just as she reached the door, Mu Qinglan suddenly clutched her stomach and moaned in pain, "Ah... ah..."

"..." Yu Sangwan turned around abruptly, shocked, "Miss Mu, what’s wrong?"

"I, I..." Mu Qinglan’s face grew paler, and foam suddenly appeared at the corners of her mouth, looking as if she was... poisoned?

Yu Sangwan was terrified, quickly supporting her and yelled out the door, "Someone! Help!"

At this time, some people in the kitchen had already started working and immediately rushed in, shocked at the sight.

"Quick, make a call for an ambulance!"

"Quick, notify Mr. Jiang!"

In a flurry, Mu Qinglan was carried out, having already lost consciousness on the way. Yu Sangwan, being young, was so frightened by this that she burst into tears.

Lu Jinxuan rushed over upon hearing the news. He saw Yu Sangwan in the crowd, crying and lost, and immediately walked over, holding her in his arms. Yu Sangwan trembled all over, her cheek pressed against his chest, her hands clutching his collar tightly, "I don’t know what happened, she suddenly just!"

"Don’t panic!"

Lu Jinxuan raised his hand, holding her cheeks, inspecting her, "Are you okay? I heard you were together, are you alright?"

"Uh?" Yu Sangwan was stunned, shook her head in confusion, "I’m fine! But Miss Mu she..."

Lu Jinxuan sighed in relief, "It’s good you’re fine. Qinglan got on the ambulance, the doctors will save her! You’re okay, that’s good!"

His heart pounded intensely. Ever since last time when he hurt her, he swore to himself... never to let her suffer any harm again!

At the hospital, outside the emergency room.

Mu Qinglan was being treated inside while Lu Jinxuan and Yu Sangwan sat on a bench outside, with Lu Jinxuan holding onto Yu Sangwan’s hand tightly.

They were anxiously waiting for the result when the sound of footsteps approached. Lu Jinxuan and Yu Sangwan both looked up, only to see a group of police officers in uniforms!

The police approached, standing in front of them, and sternly asked, "Yu Sangwan?"

Yu Sangwan stood up, nodded blankly, "Yes... may I ask why?"

"There was a food poisoning case just now, and we’ve intervened because you were the only one at the scene with the opportunity for committing a crime... so you’re now a suspect, and we need you to come with us for an investigation!"

"What?" Yu Sangwan almost lost her balance upon hearing this.

"Wanwan!" Lu Jinxuan quickly supported her.

Yu Sangwan looked at the police in panic, opened her mouth to argue, "Why are you investigating me? I don’t know... I don’t know anything! I haven’t done anything!"

The police continued as a formality, "Miss Yu, you can explain these things on the way with us."

"No... I won’t go with you!" Yu Sangwan was so frightened she buried herself into Lu Jinxuan’s embrace, "Quick, save me! I don’t want to go with them!"

Lu Jinxuan raised his hand to comfort her, "Don’t be afraid, you didn’t do anything... the police can’t do anything to you, they’re just conducting a routine investigation!"

"You..." Yu Sangwan was startled, "You want me to go with them?"

Lu Jinxuan placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down, "Wanwan, don’t get agitated! Go with them first, I’ll immediately think of a way..."

"No!"
