Chapter 22 Lu Xiyan Refuses Marriage
Xu Lei was kicked so hard that he looked dazed.
The person in front of him was none other than Lu Xiyan, the second young master of the Lu Group, one of Asia's top conglomerates.
Although the Second Young Master Lu has no interest in the business world and rarely shows up at his own company, everyone in the business world knows that he is the future heir to the family designated by Mr. Lu.
Even if Xu Lei had nine lives, he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him.
Xu Lei didn't know how long Lu Xiyan had been listening or what he had heard.
He hurriedly picked up the glasses that had fallen aside, put them on his face with trembling hands, and did not dare to stand up.
"Mr. Lu...I just said something rude for a moment, please don't take it seriously..."
Lu Xiyan stood tall and slender on the stairs, his hands in his pockets, looking down at the man half-kneeling on the ground. "Secretary Xu, I think your job is quite leisurely."
His voice was low, but every word was clear in the empty corridor.
Xu Lei didn't expect that he would encounter this big Buddha in such a corridor, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Mr. Lu, I was wrong. I promise I won't talk nonsense again next time. I will definitely shut my stinky mouth tightly and work more for Mr. Cheng! Mr. Lu, please forgive me this time!"
Lu Xiyan snorted lightly, turned around and walked out of the corridor.
He never liked people gossiping behind his back, but he didn't want to meddle in the Cheng family's affairs. He just wanted to give a warning as a reminder about what happened to Xu Lei today.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Lei quickly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat dripping down.
......
In the ward.
Han Yun, sitting next to the hospital bed, looked at her daughter who had not yet woken up and secretly wiped away her tears.
Liang Xu peeled an apple and handed it to her, "Auntie Han, please have some fruit."
Han Yun shook her head, her eyes swollen from crying, "Wanwan hasn't woken up yet, I can't eat."
Liang Xu comforted her, "The doctor said Wanwan's surgery went smoothly, don't worry too much."
As they were talking, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Han Yun turned her head to glance at the person who pushed the door open, then immediately turned her head away, with a hint of anger on her face.
Liang Xu noticed her expression and looked at the person who came. "Xi Yan, where did you go just now?"
"Answer a call." Lu Xiyan replied casually.
Han Yun said, "Liang Xu, please go out for a moment. I have something to say to Xi Yan."
After Liang Xu left, there was silence in the ward for two minutes.
Han Yun was the first to speak. "Xiyan, although Wanwan hasn't been in good health since she was young, she's well-educated, well-mannered, and sensible. She grew up with you, so you could be considered childhood sweethearts... Tell me, what exactly is it about her that you're so dissatisfied with her that you're so determined to reject her marriage?"
Lu Xiyan stood at the end of the bed and glanced at the girl lying on the bed. "Auntie Han, Wanwan is very good, but I always treat her as my sister."
The girl on the hospital bed had her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her eyes were lightly closed without opening.
"But you know Wanwan doesn't treat you as a brother."
Han Yun's tone was a little emotional, tears welling up in her eyes. "She has liked you since she was a child. Do you know that your refusal to marry her made her very sad? She almost died... I almost forgot to see my daughter..."
At this point, Han Yun choked up and burst into tears.
It was because Cheng Wanwan heard Lu Xiyan refuse to get engaged to her on the phone that she cut her wrists in despair. If she hadn't discovered it in time, she would have completely lost her daughter.
"Aunt Han, I'm very sorry that this happened to Wanwan, but relationships can't be forced. I only have a brotherly relationship with Wanwan, and I don't have any other thoughts about her."
Lu Xiyan's attitude was sincere, but his tone was firm and could not be refused.
How could Han Yun tolerate her daughter being wronged in this way?
She stood up and looked at Lu Xiyan, with a hint of anger in her eyes, "Xiyan, what if Auntie and your Uncle Cheng insist on having your grandfather arrange this marriage between you and Wanwan?"
Lu Xiyan smiled calmly, not caring at all. "Aunt Han, you know I'm a very rebellious person. I won't listen to anyone who says anything I don't want to do."
After he finished speaking, he said, "I'll come see Wanwan when she wakes up."
Then he strode out of the ward.
Han Yun was furious. With red eyes, she looked at the girl on the bed. "Wanwan, you've seen it too. Lu Xiyan doesn't have you in his heart. Is it worth it for you, silly child?"
The girl on the bed gently opened her eyes, her face was a little pale, but her eyes were clear.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "Brother Xiyan doesn't want to get engaged to me because he thinks I'm not in good health. When I'm better, I'll be able to accompany him to do anything he wants... By then, he will definitely like me."
......
Xiyuan Village.
When the tram entered the alley, I could already smell the aroma of food.
Aunt Chen from the small shop at the corner of the alley called her over, "An Ning, your dad hasn't paid for the wine he owed you this month. Go back and ask him when he'll settle the bill."
An Ning raised her eyes and asked softly, "How much does he owe?"
Chen Yumei flipped open her account book and quickly typed on the calculator. "A total of one thousand six hundred and eight."
An Ning said "hmm" softly and rode the tram into the alley.
Chen Yumei looked at her from behind and grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Our family of four relies on our daughter's income. If you can't afford to drink, don't drink!"
When she got home, Li Chunfang's meal was already on the table.
There was a bowl of freshly fried pork liver that was still steaming on the table.
Seeing her come home, Li Chunfang hurried out of the dim and small kitchen, wiped her hands covered with oil smoke on her apron a few times, and smiled widely.
"An Ning, where's the card? Let me see it quickly."
An Ning's breath stopped and she felt a pang of pain somewhere in her heart.
Li Chunfang's smile was never directed at her.
An Ning took out the card from her bag and handed it to Li Chunfang. The latter smiled from ear to ear, looked at it over and over again, and put it in the innermost pocket of her clothes.
"Eat, eat, tell Yucan to eat!"
At the dim bedroom door, a thin boy was sitting in a wheelchair. He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, his eyes fixed on An Ning.
An Ning turned around and met his gaze.
The boy pursed his lips and said nothing.
An Ning walked forward, squatted in front of him, and smiled faintly, "How are you today? Did you take your medicine well?"
The boy spoke, his voice a little hoarse with puberty, "I heard from mom that you went to sell blood?"
An Ning brushed away the strands of hair from his forehead and spoke gently, "Either he sold his blood, or he saved a big shot and received a handsome reward."
She tried to speak as tactfully as possible, fearing that it would burden the other party.
An Yucan stared at her pale face, and the anger on the young and handsome face was hard to hide.
"I won't let you do this again! You also have a rare blood type. Who will save you if something happens to you?"
These words happened to be heard by Li Chunfang who was carrying dishes out of the kitchen.
Her face changed, and she quickly said, "Yucan, what you said is wrong. Your sister's body is exhausted, and it's just a little blood drawn. It will be replenished in a few days. You can get 100,000 yuan for drawing this little blood. Why don't you think about this as a great thing!"
An Yucan's eyes were red as he yelled at Li Chunfang, "Even if I die, I won't let my sister earn this money!"
