Su Yuxi frowned slightly, and smelling the strong smell of alcohol on him, she knew that this man was acting crazy because he was drunk.
"Lu Yunzhou, what are you doing? Get up..." Su Yuxi slapped away his hand that was pinching her chin, supported her shoulders with both hands, and pushed him away forcefully.
Lu Yunzhou had not expected her to resist. Caught off guard, he staggered back several steps after being pushed, and finally lost his balance and fell to the ground.
He looked up, stunned, at the woman in front of him. The effects of the alcohol had worn off somewhat, but when he saw the disgust in her eyes, his drunkenness vanished completely. Thinking about his actions just now, a sense of panic welled up inside him.
"Xixi, I..."
"I was drunk. That wasn't my intention. I'm sorry."
Su Yuxi remained unmoved by his apology. She gracefully and calmly patted her wrinkled clothes, opened the car door, took out her bag, and slung it over her shoulder. Her tone remained as soft as ever, like a docile kitten with no harm: "It's okay, as long as you know what you're doing."
But the better she was and the more unconcerned she was, the more flustered Lu Yunzhou became.
He got up from the ground, walked over to her, and wanted to hold her hand, but was afraid of offending her, so he could only explain, "Xixi, I really drank too much. You've been ignoring me these past few days, and I was scared..."
"Also... that woman from that day was someone I hired to act with me. I have nothing to do with her. I just want you to pay attention to me."
Su Yuxi just thought this guy was an idiot. He wanted to provoke her to be jealous, so he found someone to put on a show. What about all his past actions? Were they just air?
"Oh, I see."
"From now on, let's play for real. I'm afraid you'll get ripped off if it's too fake."
"I'm tired. I have to get up early tomorrow to cook porridge. I need to go upstairs and rest." With that, she turned around and walked away from the lunatic.
Lu Yunzhou stood still, silently following the alluring and graceful figure, his gaze deep and complex, until the person disappeared from sight. Then he realized something: her clothes were not the ones the maid had sent over that afternoon, and her hair seemed to be damp, as if it had just been washed and half-dried.
No, no, fear gripped his mind, his chest heaving with excitement. He wanted to run over and confront her, but he was also afraid that the answer he would get from her wouldn't be what he expected.
He fled in disarray once again.
The next morning, as dawn broke, Su Yuxi got up early to prepare breakfast, but was told by the maid that she no longer needed to prepare breakfast.
This sudden news completely dispelled her remaining sleepiness, and she also saw a bouquet of beautiful flowers sent by Lu Yunzhou, along with a set of exquisite and luxurious jewelry.
Judging from the complete set of equipment, it must have been prepared a long time ago, but he just couldn't bring himself to give it to her.
Actually, she didn't care at all. Scolding and arguing were just minor incidents in life.
But if she sends something valuable, she can forgive her. Compared to those two arguments, isn't jewelry more appealing? Why bother arguing?
That's just how realistic she is.
"knew."
After packing her things, Su Yuxi went back to get a nice beauty sleep.
She was very happy to cook lunch for him; after all, it's just working, so what difference does it make where you work?
However, her mood ended at noon.
Many friends in the industry kept sending messages asking about Lu Yunzhou and Jiang Shiqian.
Jiang Shiqian appeared at the birthday celebration of the Fu family patriarch. Many people did see what happened that day, but they were all from the upper class. Everyone had to give Lu Yunzhou face, so they only discussed it briefly within their own circles.
But eventually, the truth will come out.
The scene of Lu Yunzhou and Jiang Shiqian embracing affectionately and gazing deeply into each other's eyes in the hospital was captured by someone with ulterior motives and posted online.
The red title above reads in large letters: "A devoted young master from a wealthy family and a fallen noblewoman face a heartbreaking chase after their wife four years later."
The article attached to the text recounts the story of Lu Yunzhou and Jiang Shiqian's relationship, from their initial meeting to their breakup.
Some parts of the story have been deliberately embellished. The male lead is portrayed as a deeply affectionate person who is willing to fight against his family for love. However, the female lead's family has fallen on hard times, and she knows that she is not good enough for him. So she breaks up with him and resolutely embarks on the path of studying abroad.
She originally wanted to achieve success outside and then return to see him at the peak of his life, but unfortunately, she was afflicted with illness and had no choice but to return to see him one last time, as a final farewell to their relationship.
Upon learning this, the male protagonist resolutely kept the female protagonist by his side, began searching for renowned doctors to treat her illness, took meticulous care of her, and never abandoned her. In the end, his devotion moved the heavens, and her health improved.
Everyone is offering their sincerest blessings to this touching love story.
Their loving story spread far and wide, reaching all levels of society.
They were deeply in love, but as the male lead's fiancée, what should she do? After all, she was once the male lead herself. She defied all opposition and brought him under her wing.
Now that both the new love and the old flame are together, who will the male lead ultimately choose?
Su Yuxi looked at the endless stream of messages on her phone. These people seemed to care about her, but in reality, they just wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
Because she had nothing, yet she was given the title of Lu Yunzhou's fiancée, even though her status was elevated to an unparalleled level, they still felt that she was just a grain of sand in a mud pit, unworthy to stand with them.
These people are polite to her on the surface, but once she really falls on hard times, they will definitely kick her while she's down.
Su Yuxi silently rolled her eyes in her mind and posted photos of the bouquet and jewelry she received today to the group chat.
This is enough to show that the man still cares about her, that she won't be kicked out, and that they no longer need to worry.
Sure enough, once the photos were released, those people immediately shut up, and a few fair-weather friends even offered a few words of praise.
She received the message, and Lu Yunzhou naturally knew as well. He sent her a video, but she didn't answer it.
Lu Yunzhou then sent a series of voice messages explaining these things.
The matter has been suppressed, but those who need to know already know.
What he wanted to explain was that everything he was doing now was to save Jiang Shiqian's life. As the doctor had said before, the stomach is the digestive organ for emotions. Only when she was in a good mood could the medicine work perfectly and she could recover faster.
He didn't love Jiang Shiqian; he just pitied her and treated her like a younger sister, trying to save her and prevent her from believing the rumors.
Su Yuxi really couldn't understand his actions. He already had several outside, so what difference would it make if he added one more? It was just another pile of shit, so why bother explaining it?
"Okay, I understand. I trust you."
These are words of unconditional faith.
That attitude only applies because of the large transfers following closely behind. If you don't offer some incentive, who would bother to be polite to you?
Su Yuxi grumbled and turned off her phone, preparing to take a nap.
On the other side, Fu Huaijin, Wan Chengyan, and Chu Juan sat in the study, with a photo on the table, a screenshot taken from the surveillance footage.
"You mean Su Yuxi also has this birthmark?"
