Chapter 176 Memories (1/2)
From what Xiang Wan knew, the one who managed to persuade Ma Suying to cooperate with the police to save Xie Wanwan was Bai Muchuan.
Now that he wanted to persuade her privately, somehow, Xiang Wan felt that strange about this.
However, solving the case was more important. She felt that this was not a convenient time to ask him about it and came out of the ward with Tang Yuanchu.
They sat on the chairs along the corridor outside the ward. Tang Yuanchu took a snooze, closing his eyes, while Xiang Wan felt a little uneasy.
Waiting always seemed to be especially long.
About an hour or so, the door to the ward opened.
Bai Muchuan stood at the entrance and nodded at both of them. ”Come in.”
So he managed to persuade her? Xiang Wan was filled with doubts. She couldn't quite believe that Bai Muchuan really managed to talk the stubborn Ma Suying around. Nevertheless, the situation was really what she had witnessed, not only Bai Muchuan managed to talk her around, Ma Suying even sat up and leaned against her bed with a calm expression. Besides looking feeble and weak, she was totally like a normal person, which was a sharp contrast to her earlier ”corpse-like” behavior.
”…”
What happened?
Xiang Wan had a stomach of questions but no time to ask.
Ma Suying actually took the initiative to talk to her. ”Sorry to trouble you.”
Xiang Wan was stunned. She quickly smiled politely back. ”It's no trouble…”
Ma Suying: ”I would like to eat something.”
What? She wanted Xiang Wan to get her some food? This wealthy lady must have been too used to ordering people around and treated her as a young assistant or something?
It's alright, as long as she is willing to testify, I'll run the errand for her, Xiang Wan thought to herself.
”Alright, please wait a while. I need to check with the doctor what kind of food is suitable for you…”
”Tang Yuanchu, you go instead!” Before Xiang Wan finished her sentence, Bai Muchuan interrupted. ”You stay here and help to take care of Madam Ma. It's more convenient this way.”
”Uh… sure.”
Having a woman here was naturally more convenient.
Hence, poor online celebrity Detective Tang was sent on an errand.
Xiang Wan sat on the earlier seat and wanted to ask Ma Suying if she had any other needs. But before she could do that, Bai Muchuan let out a chuckle unexpectedly.
”Sister Ma, this is my girlfriend—please don't mind me, I can't bear to see her running errands.”
Xiang Wan: ”…”
Ma Suying tried to take a good look at her as she struggled to lift her eyelids wider. ”She's pretty.”
She was not a warm-hearted person. She responded quite indifferently and Xiang Wan could not tell if she had good intentions or bad intentions.
Xiang Wan gave an awkward smile. ”Thank you.”
In fact, her head was filled with countless question marks.
Why did Bai Muchuan's form of address change from the polite ”Madam Ma” to the more intimate ”Sister Ma” in just an hour's time?
Just how did Bai Muchuan manage to persuade her in just an hour's time? It's odd!
