"She can use this face, so why can't I?"

"When everyone can't tell who the real 'Gu Youran' is..."

Vivian chuckled and tore the photo in half.

"Do you think Shi Heng will admit his mistake as well?"

Luo Zifu stood behind the two of them, her fingers tightly gripping the champagne glass.

She thought that by hooking up with these two celebrities, she could surpass Gu Youran.

However, when she saw Shi Heng's gentle care for Gu Youran, a bitter jealousy surged in her chest.

Why does this woman have all of Shi Heng's love?

As Shi Jue's fiancée, she didn't even have a proper wedding.

Her eyes swept across Vivian's face, which was almost identical to Gu Youran's, and then looked at Bai Xiangning's gloomy profile.

A vicious thought suddenly came to my mind:

It would be great if these three people could fight to the death.

At that time, Luo Zifu will be able to reap the benefits.

She lowered her head and took a sip of champagne to hide the calculation that flashed in her eyes.

…

On the other side, in the Maybach cabin.

Gu Youran leaned on Shi Heng's shoulder and asked, "Tell me the truth, how did you know there was something wrong with Bai Xiang Ning perfume?"

Shi Heng sighed, "I asked Lu Yichen to test it, and while it does contain hallucinogenic ingredients, the amount is too low to constitute a commercial violation."

"So, you were just cheating her?" Gu Youran was surprised.

"Yeah. But since she's guilty as a thief, that means this direction is correct. There's still a lot of time, and we'll eventually be able to catch her."

Gu Youran was about to respond when her cell phone suddenly rang.

She picked up the phone, a smile instantly spreading across her face, "Great! I'll be right there."

Hang up the phone.

She turned to look at Shi Heng and said happily: "Lina finally woke up!"

Shi Heng looked at her bright smile, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised, and he reached out to hold her in his arms, "Let's go, let's go to the hospital to see her."

…

At the same time, in the VIP ward of Kangrui Hospital.

Lina's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.

The smell of disinfectant rushed into my nose, and a dull pain came from my chest.

She subconsciously touched the wound, but felt a warm big hand.

"Don't move." A familiar deep voice sounded in my ears, "The wound will open."

Lina turned her head suddenly and met Renault's bloodshot eyes.

This man, who always wore a well-tailored suit and was meticulous in his work, now had a dark stubble on his chin.

"Go away." She turned her face away, her voice hoarse.

Renault opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. He stood up and left silently.

The moment the ward door closed, Lina buried her face in the pillow, letting her tears soak the pillowcase.

Memories came flooding back:

The explosion at the chemical plant, Ryan's black muzzle of the gun, and the resolute words "Save Uncle Xu first".

She bit her lip hard until she tasted rust.

This man doesn't have her in his heart at all.

It would be bad enough that she couldn't compare to her childhood sweetheart Gu Youran, but now even an old housekeeper is more important than her.

"Baby!" The ward door was pushed open suddenly, and Jack's loud voice broke the depressing atmosphere.

He rushed in at great speed, followed by Gu Youran.

"Thank God you finally woke up!"

Jack recounted the entire incident that happened after Lina fell into a coma, focusing on the key points.

But Lina's mind had already drifted away.

"Uncle Xu...what happened?" She finally couldn't help but ask.

The ward suddenly became quiet.

Gu Youran and Jack exchanged glances.

"Still in the intensive care unit," Gu Youran said softly, "but his vital signs are stable."

Lina's heart suddenly tightened, "Will he... wake up?"

Gu Youran held her hand and said, "Don't worry, that old man is very tough! For Renault and you, he will crawl back."

Lina's nose felt sore and the tears she had been holding back almost fell.

Jack coughed lightly and said, "Lina, Grandpa will come to see you tomorrow."

He glanced at his granddaughter, hoping that Gu Youran could help her resolve her worries.

Lina nodded, but her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the door.

Gu Youran followed her gaze and through the glass window on the door, she could see Renault standing by the corridor wall like a child who had done something wrong, staring at the ward eagerly.

"The day you were brought to the hospital, the wound on Renault's arm was bleeding. The nurse wanted to bandage him, but he refused and insisted on staying outside your operating room."

Lina stared at the corner of the quilt without saying a word, but her ears pricked up quietly.

"Did you know? When Renault was eight years old, his family was in trouble, and it was Uncle Xu who risked his life to rescue him. Uncle Xu was like a father to him, teaching him Kung Fu and accompanying him as he grew up."

"So what?" Lina curled her lips. "In his heart, I will never be as good as Uncle Xu."

Gu Youran smiled. "If he only cared about the family's interests, why would he reject the dowry your grandfather gave him on the spot? He even said he wanted to prepare the betrothal gifts himself."

Seeing that Lina remained silent, Gu Youran leaned in and whispered, "I have an idea. You've always been the one chasing after him, so how about letting him chase you now? Let him also experience the feeling of being rejected."

Lina's eyes lit up. The thought of the high-ranking Renault being so humble to please her instantly dissipated most of the anger in her heart.

"That's a good idea!" She wanted to clap her hands happily, but ended up pulling her wound and grimacing in pain.

Gu Youran stood up and said, "Okay, now it's time to go get checked."

She pushed the wheelchair over and carefully helped Lina sit on it.

While pushing Lina out, Gu Youran winked at Renault in the corridor.

The man's tense shoulders visibly relaxed, and the light in his gray eyes rekindled.

Shi Heng stood at the corner of the corridor and watched Gu Youran push the wheelchair and disappear behind the elevator door.

He walked over to Renault, and the two of them walked to the fire escape in tacit understanding.

"The situation is not good." Shi Heng showed his phone. The courtyard of Gujia Village was empty in the photo. "Thirteen elderly people left behind are missing, but their belongings are intact."

Renault said: "There's no way Ryan knows Xu Bo's whereabouts."

"Unless..." Shi Heng narrowed his eyes, "Someone has been monitoring Gujia Village for a long time."

The two looked at each other.

At the same time, look in the direction of the intensive care unit.

The only clue now is the unconscious Xu Bo.

"I'll send more people. Leave Lina and Xu Bo's safety to me."

Shi Heng suddenly changed the subject, "How do you plan to win Lina back?"

Renault showed a rare look of embarrassment, "I've never... chased a woman."

"Tsk." Shi Heng took out a beautiful booklet from his pocket. "This is the collector's edition of 'One Hundred Ways to Chase Your Wife'. I'm giving it to you."

Renault took the booklet and his ears turned red.

"Don't make that expression. Back then, Youbao and I only met once and..."

"I know, a flash marriage." Renault interrupted him, "Thanks."

Shi Heng snorted, "Marry Lina as soon as possible, so that my wife won't have to worry about her all the time."

Looking at Shi Heng's departing back, Renault put the booklet into his pocket.

The phone suddenly vibrated in my palm.

He looked down and saw a message pop up on the screen:

[The head of the family is critically ill. If the marriage registration is not completed within 24 hours, the inheritance rights will automatically transfer to Eric]
