Chapter 22

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the ward again.

Immediately afterwards, a slender figure walked in carrying a thermos cup.

"Chu Wei, haven't you eaten yet? I brought some porridge for you..."

Lu Xiubai's expression froze when he saw Huo Yunting and Ye Lanxue in the ward.

"Why are you here?" Thinking of Ye Xiaoxiao standing outside the door, Lu Xiubai understood instantly.

"Are you here to investigate?" He looked at Huo Yunting with a sneer, "Huo Yunting, even if you don't like Chu Wei, there is no need to unite with outsiders to treat your wife like this, right? Don't you see that she is still lying on the hospital bed now?

"

Huo Yunting's voice was cold, "It turns out that Mr. Lu also knows that Xia Chuwei is my wife."

Huo Yunting's cold gaze glanced over the thermos cup in Lu Xiubai's hand, "Mr. Lu, it doesn't seem right to be so attentive to a married woman, right?"

Lu Xiubai looked at Ye Lanxue, who was sitting in the wheelchair, and raised his sword eyebrows slightly: "So, as a married man, Mr. Huo should be very attentive to other women. It is natural? Huo Yunting, don't be too double-standard in your life.

Everyone knows that Chu Wei and I are good friends who grew up together, and there is no ambiguity between us. But your relationship... has never been as simple as good friends, right?"

Huo Yunting's face suddenly darkened.

Ye Lanxue hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu, you misunderstood, we are not who you think. Yun Ting and I are also friends now, and we have never done anything that crosses the line... The main reason why we are here today is

I came here to ask what happened last night..."

Lu Xiubai interrupted her, "Mr. Huo and Miss Ye didn't ask the real murderer, but instead pursued the victim?"

Lu Xiubai looked at them with sarcastic eyes, "Could this be the legendary theory of victim guilt?"

Ye Lanxue smiled and said: "But, Xiaoxiao said that she did not push Miss Xia, Miss Xia jumped in by herself."

"Did you jump in by yourself?" Lu Xiubai asked back: "In such a cold weather, would Chu Wei jump in and swim by herself when she had nothing to do?"

"It's understandable that Mr. Lu is worried about Miss Xia, but Mr. Lu shouldn't be clear about what happened at that time, right?" Ye Lanxue's voice was soft and tactful, "I had a dispute with someone else at that time, and there was an accident. Yun

Ting came to me in a hurry, but Miss Xia kept trying to stop Yun Ting... I asked other people at the banquet, and they said that Miss Xia fell into the swimming pool not long after Yun Ting left."

Lu Xiubai heard the implication, "Are you trying to say that Chu Wei jumped on purpose?"

"boom--!"

The door to the ward was pushed open, and Ye Xiaoxiao, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't help but push the door open and enter.

"It was Xia Chuwei who jumped in by herself! This woman is so evil. Seeing that she couldn't save Brother Yunting if she jumped, she framed the matter on me! She just hit me with a cup, she clearly wanted to kill me!

"

Ye Xiaoxiao's voice was very sharp and harsh, suppressing other sounds in the ward as soon as she entered the door.

She pointed at Xia Chuwei angrily, "She admitted it herself just now, stop trying to defend this murderer!"

Lu Xiubai glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao, with a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.

He looked at Xia Chuwei who was silent and said, "Chuwei, what's going on?"

If someone asked her, she would no longer explain, but Lu Xiubai was the only one who believed in her and spoke for her.

She didn't want to betray Lu Xiubai's trust, so she said hoarsely: "They..."

Xia Chuwei just spoke, and Ye Xiaoxiao's excited and high-pitched voice overwhelmed Xia Chuwei's voice.

"What else could happen? Is what she said herself true? Stop making excuses for this woman, she is just a vicious woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions..."

"Miss Ye." Lu Xiubai looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with cold eyes, "Didn't anyone teach you to keep quiet when others are talking?!"

Lu Xiubai was a young master from an aristocratic family, and he had an aura of calmness and authority around him. Just a look in his eyes made Ye Xiaoxiao feel afraid and shut up instantly.

Turning his head, Lu Xiubai looked at Xia Chuwei again.

When looking at Xia Chuwei, Lu Xiubai's eyes softened and his aura became much calmer.

"Chu Wei, tell me."

Xia Chuwei said again what she had said before.

"I was pushed down by Ye Xiaoxiao. The water in the swimming pool was so cold that my feet cramped. Ye Xiaoxiao had been filming my appearance when I fell into the water on the shore... Later, I was discovered by others and rescued

shore."

After hearing this, Ye Lanxue frowned and said, "Miss Xia, that's not what you said just now..."
