As soon as Lu Sheng entered the ward, Li Anran threw herself into his arms.
"Shen, there are so many strangers here. I'm so scared because you're not here!"
Not seeing Lu Shen for a day and worried that he would go to see that woman Jian Ruoxi again, this was the only solution Li Anran could think of.
"It's alright, they are all doctors and nurses from the hospital, they are here to treat you." As he spoke, Lu Shen pushed Li Anran away from his arms.
Li Anran is completely different now compared to before.
It seems that the irritable and jealous Li Anran from a few months ago has disappeared, and she has returned to the most beautiful stage in Lu Shen's memory.
Cleanliness and beauty always need to be protected.
What's wrong with your face?
When Lu Shen asked about her swollen cheek, Li Anran panicked and quickly covered it.
"I accidentally made this myself just now."
Lu Shen had seen her hurt herself before; even when she cut herself with a knife, she seemed not to feel any pain. This did seem like something she would do.
"I need to control myself next time."
He helped Li Anran to bed and covered her with a blanket.
"Rest first, I'll stay here with you."
With Lu Shenyi's arrival, Li Anran became much more obedient, even prompting the doctor to mutter in disapproval.
"Young Master Lu's medicine is even more effective than the medicine in our hospital."
Having been a doctor for so many years, he had seen countless people. Observing Li Anran for just a few days, he could roughly figure out some of the tricks of the trade.
It's true that Li Anran is ill, but it's uncertain when she will have an attack.
"Doctor, what did you say?" a nurse asked the doctor, trying to understand what he had just said.
"It's nothing. Just take good care of Miss Li in that ward. Don't listen to anything else or ask any questions."
The feuds between wealthy families are beyond the control of ordinary people like them; it's best to stay as far away as possible.
"Yes, we've got it."
After all the doctors and nurses left, Li Anran, lying on the bed, suddenly asked Lu Shen, "Shen, what you said before, that we would get engaged when I come back, does that still stand?"
She deliberately avoided mentioning Jian Ruoxi and the events that had occurred recently.
She even naively thought that as long as she and Lu Shen forgot all that, their relationship could be the same as before.
"Wait until you're better." Lu Shen didn't say anything more after that.
Li Anran was overjoyed to hear this. "I'll listen to A-Shen. I will definitely take good care of my health."
No rush. It will indeed take some time to get Lu Shen to agree.
The sacrifice of a child and the near-death experience at home were enough to make Lu Shen feel guilty.
"Jian Ruoxi, I won in the end."
In the morning, Jian Ruoxi woke up from a nightmare, only vaguely remembering that someone was grabbing her neck, almost making it hard for her to breathe.
"Ruoxi, are you alright?" Lu Jin rushed over as soon as he heard the voice.
Jian Ruoxi shook her head. Last night's dream was terrifying, but she couldn't see who was behind it at all.
"I'm fine, I just had a bad dream."
Lu Jin wiped away her cold sweat and looked at her with heartache, "You just thought too much during the day, that's why you're like this."
"Today is Huarui's signing artist seminar. As is the usual practice, the results will be out this afternoon. I'll wait with you."
She had almost forgotten about it.
Although she has been included in Huarui's list of artists to be signed, she still needs to undergo a second review by Huarui's senior management, which is called a seminar, before the final list of artists to be signed is decided.
Huarui's seminars are very rigorous. Those who make it onto the shortlist for signing contracts are already very lucky, and in the end, no more than five people will remain.
"The seminar must have already started by now. I wonder what Huarui's evaluation of me will be."
Jian Ruoxi had been nervous about this matter ever since she woke up, fearing that she would be eliminated.
At that moment, during Huarui's seminar, it was everyone's turn to look at her materials.
"Chairman, if I remember correctly, this Jian Ruoxi is no longer part of the Rising Stars."
"I'm quite curious, how did someone who's been out of the spotlight for three years end up here?"
The speaker was Ran Jie, the top agent of Huarui Film and Television Group. As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire room fell silent.
He's Huarui's most valuable asset; even the chairman has to speak to him with a gentle tone.
After all, he mentored many talented artists.
"Ahem!" The chairman coughed awkwardly twice. "This, oh, I added it later."
Ran Jie picked up Jian Ruoxi's file, glanced at it briefly, and then casually tossed it onto the conference table.
"She has indeed achieved some success since her comeback, but I don't know what makes this female artist stand out so much that the chairman put her directly on the list of artists to be signed."
Ran Jie's last words were quite blunt.
The others remained silent. Everyone present could see that Jian Ruoxi's information had obviously been forced in by the chairman.
Although they didn't know exactly how Jian Ruoxi had persuaded the chairman, they would turn a blind eye out of respect for him.
But Ran Jie doesn't know how.
What he hates most is people who get in through connections.
"Ran Jie, this Jian Ruoxi is quite capable. She won an award three years ago, and her acting skills have been recognized."
This was the only way he could persuade everyone. Did he expect him to just state that this was Young Master Lu's decision?
If he doesn't slip Jian Ruoxi's information in and prevent her from passing the review, he might not be the chairman of Huarui Company tomorrow.
"The chairman knows that was three years ago. I don't need to elaborate on how precious three years is for a female artist." Ran Jie was determined not to let Jian Ruoxi pass.
Wherever he is, this kind of "backdoor" phenomenon must never happen.
Perhaps Jian Ruoxi is truly talented; he does remember her, and her acting skills are indeed stronger than those of other actresses in the industry.
But she shouldn't have used connections to get in right under his nose.
In previous years, similar situations had occurred at Huarui; any artist who came in this way was vetoed by him.
"Ran Jie, are you really going to stick to your choice? Aren't you afraid of really messing with someone with powerful connections?" The chairman was helpless when it came to people like Ran Jie.
Ran Jie is very talented, but he is too arrogant. Unfortunately, there is no other agent in the entertainment industry as capable as him.
So even though he was the head of the group, no one dared to speak harshly to him.
But I'm still worried that Ran Jie might be too rigid and easily break.
"If I really offend someone like that, let him come to me. I'd be very curious to see how he'll deal with me."
"Doing the same work day after day is really boring."
