The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent

Chapter 123: Rescue

Her gaze was locked on two research rooms.

She walked over and opened one of the rooms. There was no one there, so she opened the other one.

Zhou Yao heard a noise and looked up.

Xiao Ying’s fair little face appeared in front of his eyes. Zhou Yao suddenly smiled.

It seemed like she would come every time he encountered danger.

Xiao Ying walked over angrily. Seeing that Zhou Yao was still smiling, she slapped him on the arm and said, “You’re still smiling even in this state.”

Then, she said worriedly, “Could it be that you’re frozen silly?”

Xiao Ying, who had just entered, could not help but shiver, let alone Zhou Yao, who had been staying here for an unknown period of time.

Zhou Yao smiled and said, “Angel Sister, I knew you would save me.”

This greeting stunned Xiao Ying. She looked into Zhou Yao’s eyes, and the scenes from the past appeared in front of her.

In her memory, there seemed to be a little fatty who had foolishly called her Angel Sister.

Zhou Yao…

Xiao Ying repeated the name, and she suddenly remembered.

She did not say anything. It was not appropriate to reminisce about the past in this situation.

Xiao Ying laboriously brought him out of the research lab. Zhou Yao’s legs were already numb, but he definitely could not stay in the research lab.

The two of them walked towards the door with difficulty and bumped into Academician Lu Lin.

When he walked over to help, the pressure on Xiao Ying lessened.

The two of them brought Zhou Yao outside. Lu Lin rubbed his back and said angrily, “What’s going on? Don’t you know that you can’t close the door when there’s someone in the research lab?”

Xiao Ying said, “Someone did it on purpose.”

Lu Lin’s expression darkened. He knew what was going on immediately. He waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about this anymore. Go back and rest.”

Xiao Ying brought the slightly more mobile Zhou Yao back to the dormitory.

His eyelashes were covered in frost, and his face was pale as paper.

Xiao Ying went to cook a bowl of ginger soup for him. She watched him drink it and was relieved.

She said resentfully, “Chen Qiang must be involved in today’s matter. I’ll settle scores with him tomorrow.”

Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes, and a hint of fierceness flashed across them.

Seeing that Zhou Yao had already returned to normal, Xiao Ying probed, “Did we know each other before?”

Zhou Yao looked at Xiao Ying calmly and said, “I recognized you at first glance.”

Xiao Ying was in a stupor. How could he have recognized her at first glance after so many years?

Seeing his serious expression, Xiao Ying knew that he was telling the truth.

Zhou Yao was lying. He did not recognize her at first glance, he had come with the sole intention of finding her.

Xiao Ying asked, “How have you been since I left?”

She felt a little guilty. The day before, she had promised to protect him. In the end, she had transferred schools the next day and had even forgotten about him.

Zhou Yao smiled contentedly. As long as he could see her again, anything he went through was worth it.

Xiao Ying seemed to have noticed something. Ever since Cheng Yang had confessed to her, she had developed a keen intuition for the gaze of the opposite sex.

She felt that if she stayed any longer, things would develop beyond her expectations. Xiao Ying told him to rest quickly and left.

The next day, they arrived at the research institute.

Xiao Ying originally wanted Zhou Yao to rest for a day, but she could not persuade him. Seeing that he was really fine, she agreed to let him come along.

Xiao Ying went to question Chen Qiang.

Chen Qiang said innocently, “Academician Xiao Ying, what are you talking about?”

Xiao Ying asked again, “Are you sure you didn’t do it?”

Chen Qiang’s expression changed as he said with grievance, “Academician Xiao Ying, ever since you came to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I’ve always treated you with respect. But you can’t wrong me just because I’m a mere intern.”

As soon as she said this, the surrounding colleagues looked at Xiao Ying with strange expressions.

Xiao Ying had just arrived. Chen Qiang was usually a good person, so everyone naturally trusted him more.

The scene instantly fell to one side.

Chen Qiang lowered his head. His shoulders were still trembling slightly. However, the corners of his mouth revealed a smug smile.
