Bab 2700: Is she going to lose her child?

"My name is Chu He, and I'm a close friend of Qingxue."

"A close friend of hers?" he echoed askance. "I don't remember her having a close friend named Chu He."

"What do you even know? What can a man who's unable to protect his woman and child possibly know?"

"Watch your tone!"

It got her snapping back. "Not giving you a punch is already the greatest respect I have for you."

Mu Yancheng was, once more, at loss for words.

Having no intention to argue with him further, she slowly explained, "I first met Qingxue on a case that I was responsible for about a month ago; she was new to Yan City and got harassed by two ruffians. Seeing that she was pregnant and alone, I decided to take her in so that she got a shelter to stay and prepare for her pregnancy."

"She got harassed by two ruffians?" A glint flashed across his eyes when he heard that critical news. "How did that happen?"
