Chapter 228 Even he doesn't believe it
"Hello, do you have an appointment?"
Luo Shu walked ahead, with Gan Chang'an following behind.
The receptionist greeted me with a professional smile.
Just by looking at the haute couture dress, she knew that the woman in front of her was no ordinary person. When she saw Gan Chang'an behind her, Gan Chang'an quickly gave her a wink.
“No appointment.”
"..." The receptionist glanced at Gan Chang'an almost imperceptibly.
Clearly, Gan Chang'an didn't want her to go upstairs at this moment.
"Please wait a moment, I'll make a call to make an appointment for you." The receptionist hurriedly picked up the landline and made a call upstairs.
Luo Shu calmly took out her phone from her pocket, found the photo of her marriage certificate with Yu Zhan in her album, then hung up the call the receptionist was about to make and placed the photo in front of her.
"Is this enough to make a reservation?"
“…That’s enough!” The receptionist gave an awkward laugh.
Mrs. Yu has come to headquarters.
I heard a while ago that Mr. Yu was being abused at home, and now he's come to the company?
This is so exciting!
"plz follow me."
The receptionist glanced at Gan Chang'an helplessly.
Luo Shu followed the receptionist into the president's private elevator.
Gan Chang'an wanted to come in, but Luo Shu didn't allow it.
You're not getting any meat tonight!
"No, Madam..." Gan Chang'an looked completely innocent as he watched the elevator doors close.
The receptionist pressed the button for the top floor, swallowed hard, and thought to herself, "This president's wife is just as rumored. Her aura is even more formidable than the rumors suggest."
However, they got one thing wrong.
The president's wife is a great beauty, not a fat woman.
She probably just loves to eat.
No wonder the CEO is still so fond of his wife even after being beaten. If I had such a beautiful wife by my side every day, I would be happy even if I got beaten up.
The elevator arrived at the top floor.
"Mrs. Yu, shall I go in and help you..." to announce her arrival?
"No need, you can leave now." Luo Shu stepped out.
"Okay." The receptionist smiled and closed the elevator door, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
This was the first time Luo Shu had seen Yu Zhan so extravagant. Although the entire floor had a minimalist style, it still exuded a powerful aura.
She passed by an office next to the president's office and saw Li Hai's familiar face.
The moment Li Hai saw Luo Shu, he immediately became alert. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
The wife is coming!
The boss is in danger!
Luo Shu glanced at him and walked straight ahead.
Li Haigang called Yu Zhan, but before Yu Zhan could answer, Luo Shu pushed open the door and walked in.
In the suite next to the president's office, Yu Zhan was sitting in a chair, and a male doctor was applying medicine to him. Wei Qianqian was frowning and giving instructions with her back to Yu Zhan.
"If this layer of skin keeps peeling off, I'll have my dad transplant a layer of pigskin onto you tomorrow. That will be thick enough, so you can rub it off however you want, saving me from having to run around all the time. Don't stop others from dating if you don't want to..."
"..." Yu Zhan.
The suite door was opened, and everyone's eyes fell on the person who had barged in without knocking.
“…Sister-in-law.” Wei Qianqian’s voice became soft.
I didn't have a chance to recognize her when we met today, but now that Yu Zhan is here, I'm afraid of misunderstandings. This sister-in-law just blurts things out without thinking.
She looked at Yu Zhan, who was frowning and said nothing, unsure of where to begin.
Luo Shu's gaze fell on Yu Zhan's back, which was covered in scars. The whip marks were still faintly visible. Some had already scabbed off and healed, but one or two stubbornly remained hanging on his back, with white sap still faintly visible at the ends.
Wei Qianqian tactfully waved to the male doctor, and the two walked out of the room, closing the door behind them.
"You've come all this way, what do you want to say?" Yu Zhan's voice was hoarse, and his voice was weaker.
He shifted his shoulder armor slightly, moved his body a little, and turned around to look at the woman who was no longer able to speak.
He didn't want her to see it.
"Did Grandpa hit you?" Luo Shu didn't dare to get close to him, afraid that she would lose her composure if she did.
“He didn’t have that much strength; it was Dad who hit him.”
Yu Zhan doesn't seem to be resisting anymore.
Since she's already here, we still have to talk about what needs to be discussed. Rather than avoiding her like this, we might as well face it honestly.
Su hadn't come to find him yet, so Yu Zhan couldn't prove his innocence. No matter how much he said, it would be useless.
Su Ting is now free of any ties, and Yu Zhan can't do anything about her.
The two remained silent for a long time. Wei Qianqian leaned against the door and listened intently, and Li Haila couldn't stop her.
"I'm not an employee of your company, and eavesdropping won't get me docked pay," Wei Qianqian waved her hand.
Helpless, Li Hai could only stand beside her and listen quietly.
"I'm sorry." Luo Shu murmured, lowering her head slightly, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and crystal tears fell down her cheeks.
Yu Zhan didn't understand what she meant, but her pitiful appearance softened his heart immediately.
He slowly got up and walked towards her.
He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong, but all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms and vow that from this moment on, he would never let her shed another tear.
That's what he thought, and that's what he did.
Luo Shu was one step ahead of him and walked into his arms.
She didn't dare hug him like she did today, but instead carefully placed her hands on his side waist.
She should have known, she should have seen it coming.
On the day she returned to the Yu family manor, Luo Shu did not notice any sign of his return that night. He was probably being beaten in the ancestral hall at that time.
He even knelt in the ancestral hall for an entire night.
Her tears, which she couldn't control, slid down his chest, turning from hot to cold, flowing from the well-defined grooves of his abdominal muscles.
"Why are you crying?"
Yu Zhan hugged her even tighter, feeling sorry for her.
The familiar doting affection from the man above her head broke her down, and she cried even harder.
That night, when he knelt on the ground begging her not to divorce him, that slap sent him sprawling to the ground. His heart must have been broken then.
He wasn't being dramatic; he was enduring the pain in his back and legs to persistently try to persuade her to stay, but Luo Shu was furious and wouldn't listen to anything he said.
He didn't see him when he woke up the next day. It was only after being coerced and bribed in the car that Gan Chang'an told him about Yu Zhan fainting and being hospitalized.
Luo Shu's self-blame gradually grew.
This matter has nothing to do with him, yet he suffers such a great stigma. It's her fault. If she had been willing to wait a day or two longer, put herself in his shoes, and ponder the truth of the matter, then Yu Zhan wouldn't have had to endure this pain.
Everyone is accusing him of infidelity.
Even she didn't believe it.
How could she not believe it?
They didn't even listen to an explanation.
She could almost imagine that Yu Zhan's psychological pain was no less than the physical wounds from the whipping.
"Don't cry, okay?"
Yu Zhan stroked her head, unsure how to comfort her.
This event was a huge blow to her as well. Anyone would be flustered in such a situation, especially a pregnant woman, who is at a time when she is most prone to sentimentality.
I'm really afraid something might happen to her.
"I'll do whatever you want, don't cry." We'll tie that man up tomorrow, no matter what it takes, we can't let our woman suffer.
His patience was washed away by Luo Shu's tears at this moment.
The woman in his arms choked back tears, holding him and crying without saying a word.
Perhaps they couldn't even cry anymore.
She must be so sad.
Yu Zhan gently caressed her lower back with his large hand, while his other hand lightly stroked her hair. He buried his face in her hair, inhaling her unique scent.
