Chapter 180 Seeking Death
Wei Ning opened the door and saw the nurses and doctors wearing masks. Without suspicion, he said, "Su Youling, it's time to change your dressing. I'll go get you something to eat and I'll be right back."
"Go ahead." Su Youling found him annoying, and only after he left did she feel a little better.
The doctor and nurse changed the dressing, and Su Youling thanked them. She wanted to take a nap, but then she heard an unusual door closing sound.
She opened her eyes and sat up, seeing the nurse return, close the door, and stare at her with a gloomy expression.
Those eyes...
"Lu Chennuan?" Su Youling narrowed her eyes, looking at the newcomer warily. "Why is it you? How did you get in?"
"You underestimate the power of the Lu family. Even if it's a private hospital, I can find a way to get in." Lu Chennuan didn't mention the price she paid to sneak into the hospital and see Su Youling. Her voice was icy and filled with gritted teeth. "Su Youling, it was Lu Han who harmed you. He's already been imprisoned, and our Lu family hasn't been able to get him out. What did we do to offend you?"
Lu Chennuan walked to the bedside, took off her mask, and looked at Su Youling with a gloomy expression, as if she wanted to devour her. "You insist on eradicating the Lu family!"
"What did I do to offend you?" Su Youling sneered, leaning back against the headboard without making a sound, and pressed down on her back.
"At the Yin family banquet, you drugged me. Did you really think you could cover it up perfectly? Why do you think the Yin family is so ruthless in suppressing the Lu family? Is it just because of Shi Yan's personal grudge? He couldn't have made such a big decision without Old Master Yin's tacit approval."
Lu Chennuan's expression changed. "That's all because of you..."
"What Old Master Yin cares about is that you dared to cause trouble at the Yin family banquet, not just for me. Don't think too highly of me, and don't think you're so innocent." Su Youling looked up at her pale face and said sarcastically, "Miss Lu is used to being a pampered princess, and she doesn't even know how to plead for mercy. No wonder the Lu family has come to this!"
"You!" Lu Chennuan gritted her teeth, her face showing struggle and confusion. After a long while, she stared at the composed Su Youling and asked in a hoarse voice, "How can I beg you to let the Lu family go?"
She was wearing a white medical uniform. The upheaval in her family had made her look haggard. She had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Her small face was only the size of a palm, which made her look even paler and more pitiful against the white medical uniform. She had lost the spirited and proud demeanor she had shown at the banquet.
"If the Lu family hadn't suffered this tragedy, would you still have come to me to beg for mercy?" Su Youling saw her face stiffen, and her eyes were filled with undisguised resentment and anger. She immediately curled her lips and retorted, "I have never offended you. As a woman, what good did it do you to drug me like that and even trick your own cousin into falling for it? All of this is your own fault. Why should I forgive you?"
"Su Youling, don't act innocent after getting the benefit." Lu Chennuan knew that she had used all her self-control to swallow her pride and apologize to Su Youling, and that she hadn't been captured by the young lady's pride and had to speak ill of this woman who was pushing her luck.
But seeing Su Youling's smug expression only made her more unhappy, and her voice unconsciously became sharp: "You can stand here so arrogantly, spouting high-sounding principles, all because you've got the looks to hook up with powerful men who are completely devoted to you! I never imagined that even high-achieving men like Shi Yan and Li Tingxi would be so infatuated with you..."
Su Youling frowned, her expression displeased.

But the more she acted this way, the more Lu Chennuan felt she had hit a nerve. Seeing that her pleas were futile, she simply resorted to venting her frustration: "I'm really curious how good you are in bed, that so many men would rush to pamper a used woman like this..."
As she spoke, she reached out to tear at Su Youling's clothes, her eyes filled with the disdain and humiliation of someone in a superior position.
"Get away!" Su Youling grabbed her wrist and tried to pull her away, but she was still recovering from surgery and was not as strong as Lu Chennuan. She was accidentally pushed to the ground with a thud.
“Su Youling, if the Lu family is finished, I will not let you go.” Lu Chennuan took out a pen from her chest, and when she uncapped it, it turned out to be a miniature dagger with a blade the size of a pinhole, gleaming with a cold light.
She jumped off the bed and straddled Su Youling. Su Youling's expression changed, but she endured the pain and did not struggle violently, otherwise she might accidentally hurt the child.
“Call Li Tingxi and tell him to release the Lu family immediately, or else…” Lu Chennuan grabbed her neck with one hand and held a sharp knife against her lower eyelid with the other, “I’ll kill you.”
Su Youling did not resist and obediently said, "Let me go first, and I'll make a call right now."
Oh no!
She pressed the alarm, why hasn't anyone come yet?
Su Youling suppressed her panic and took out her phone to call Li Tingxi.
Seeing her so cooperative, Lu Chennuan grabbed her hair in annoyance and said sarcastically, "You're really confident! I don't know why Li Tingxi would leave his renowned wife at home to get involved with a dirty thing like you who hangs out with men..."
"Later...you can ask him yourself." Su Youling stared intently at Lu Chennuan, not daring to blink, worried that she might stab her eye in a fit of excitement.
Lu Chennuan gritted her teeth, "You!"
Just then, the call connected.
Lu Chennuan immediately snatched the phone, turned it on speakerphone, and gave Su Youling a gloomy look that hinted that she should do as she said.
"Li Tingxi, let the Lu family go." Su Youling subtly tucked her chin in, then glanced at the door as it was silently pushed open and a familiar, tall figure approached. She immediately raised her voice and said, "Lu Han has already been brought to justice. The others are innocent. Don't make any more trouble."
Lu Chennuan was startled by Su Youling's suddenly raised voice. Fortunately, Su Youling's words were to her liking. Just as she was nervously waiting for Li Tingxi's reply, a cold voice rang out in the air, "Is the Lu family in such a hurry to die?"
Lu Chennuan: "??"
Why does Li Tingxi's voice seem so close to her?
Like it came from behind her?
Lu Chennuan subconsciously turned around, and Su Youling immediately grabbed her wrist and twisted it hard.
"Ah!" Lu Chennuan screamed, instinctively trying to stab Su Youling, but her collar was grabbed and she was thrown hard into the corner.
"You? Li Tingxi? Weren't you in a meeting? Why are you here?" Lu Chennuan was dizzy from the fall and looked at the man looking down at her in a panic. She had specifically inquired that Li Tingxi was not in the hospital and had managed to send the bodyguards outside away before daring to sneak in to find Su Youling.
Seeing the man's terrifying expression, she subconsciously shrank back into the corner, glaring fiercely at Su Youling, "You bitch, when did you tip me off?"
