Chapter 289 - Why Are You Making Me Worry For Nothing? (2)



It was already eight in the morning, and while most employees were about to start their day at work, Xi Qian had just clocked out from hers. Working the graveyard shift wasn\'t so bad after all. It gave Xi Qian a temporary peace from the mundane issues of the world, allowing herself to focus on her work and help her patients.

As she thought about her day, her mind went to a certain man who had been looking after his sick father for over a week now. Li Xiran has been surprisingly well behaved for the past few days, and she hadn\'t seen him arguing with his stepmother and half-brother.

Xi Qian supposed that even if he did, he would make sure that she wouldn\'t be able to witness such a scene. She scoffed inwardly. What was the point of Li Xiran pretending to be civil in front of her when he couldn\'t even respect his elder and younger brother?

Once the train stopped at the station in Guanshang, Xi Qian alighted from it and started walking towards Bluemedia. Since it wasn\'t the first time she had come to visit Su Xiaofei and Yun Qingrong, the guards and security personnel stationed within the company premises were already familiar with her.

Xi Qian took the private elevator. She didn\'t waste time and went straight to Su Xiaofei\'s office and found her best friend working as usual, as if nothing had happened yesterday. It seemed to her that she wasn\'t the only one who was confused by Su Xiaofei\'s demeanor, the Zhang siblings were confused as well.

Zhang Ling gave Xi Qian a worried look before shaking her head, not knowing how to explain this to her. Meanwhile, Zhang Lan continued working along with Su Xiaofei in silence, but it was obvious by the way her brows furrowed, that she was also bothered by their miss\'s actions.

"Feifei, have you had your breakfast? I brought some for us to share." Xi Qian raised the paper bag she was holding to show it to her best friend. Su Xiaofei rarely refused an invitation when it comes to food.

Su Xiaofei lifted her gaze and saw her friend looking at her worriedly. Seeing Xi Qian\'s expression made her feel helpless. She wasn\'t that ignorant not to notice the odd look her mother and her bodyguards gave her when she said that she intended to go to work today.

"No, I haven\'t. Did you buy my favorites?" She asked, as she gestured for Zhang Ling to help her tidy up the coffee table so they could have a quick breakfast.

Su Xiaofei only had a cup of coffee before leaving for work with Zhang Ling and Zhang Lan. Having Xi Qian brought breakfast reminded Su Xiaofei that she wasn\'t the only one who was worried about Lu Qingfeng.

Once the food had been served, Su Xiaofei dug into her meal and ate quietly, aware that Xi Qian was watching her intently.

"What is it?" She asked a moment later, when she couldn\'t stand the awkward atmosphere within her office anymore.

Xi Qian looked at the Zhang siblings, then to Su Xiaofei.

"Is there any news about Lu Qingfeng?" She asked cautiously, just in case Su Xiaofei was pretending that she was alright.

"No. We haven\'t heard anything from the Lu family yet." Su Xiaofei replied.

Xi Qian looked uncomfortable in her seat, hesitating to ask Su Xiaofei.

"Then… is there something we need to know? Feifei, are you sure you don\'t need to take a day off? I know that you are worried about Lu Qingfeng, but you don\'t have to pretend and act normal just because you don\'t want us to get worried."

"That\'s not it, Qian." Su Xiaofei flashed her with a reassuring smile. "I assure you. I\'m fine, but not perfectly fine. Of course I\'m worried about him."

At this, Su Xiaofei lowered her gaze at the second cup of coffee she was drinking that morning. A part of her wished that she was sharing this warm and lovely morning with Lu Qingfeng that day, but she knew better than to get her hopes up, considering that the Lu family was obviously facing turmoil.

If her assumptions were true and this was a ploy that Lu Qingfeng had planned to lure his enemies out, then she should act accordingly to her role as his childhood friend. If people see her acting weird, those eyes who\'d been watching her to use against Lu Qingfeng would assume that he, indeed, was in a critical condition.

She had already asked the Zhang siblings to take note of people who might be tailing them to fish out some information, and as expected, she was right. Zhang Lan, along with the added bodyguards her mother assigned to her, found some suspicious men following them as they made their way to Guanshang from Qiying City.

Zhang Ling recognized one of those men as one of Lu Qingfeng\'s uncle\'s right-hand man, and she couldn\'t help but frown. Were they trying to make sure that their master didn\'t survive the accident?

"I don\'t know what\'s going on, too, Qian." She continued, "but I want to believe in Lu Qingfeng." She added with confidence on her face.

If Lu Qingfeng was the same person she knew for a long time, then he would certainly not break his promise to her.
