The first floor was bustling with activity, while in the corridor on the second floor, He Ermeng and Lu Zhe were confronting each other.
When he heard Lu Zhe's words, the jealousy in his heart almost made him angry. What he said was even more hurtful, "Accompany her? What can you use to accompany her? You must know that the limbs of patients with cryosurgery will atrophy after a year. In more serious cases, even walking will become a problem. They can only be paralyzed in bed and need to be taken care of physically."
He Ermeng's temples twitched with anger. He questioned Lu Zhe: "Do you want to stay with Su Ci with a body like that? What do you want? Do you want her to take care of you who will become waste in the future?"
"As a patient with cryosurgery, you know better than me what you will become in the future. If you really like Su Ci, you should stay away from her and don't drag her down." He Ermeng stared at Lu Zhe fiercely, saying word by word: "You knew you would die, but you stayed with her. You are so selfish!"
Lu Zhe lowered his eyelids, and his stiff face looked extremely cold and pale under the light of the corridor, and there was no blood on his thin lips.
His fingertips were numb from the cold.
He raised his eyes and looked at He Ermeng with his dark eyes, "I am ready to go to hell after death."
He Ermeng was so angry that his jaw muscles tightened and his temples twitched, "You want to drag Su Ci down!"
At this time, the door was opened.
Lu Zhe and He Ermeng looked at the girl standing at the door with a cold expression.
"Ci Ci, Lu Zhe is terminally ill, you should not be with him." He Ermeng's tense face softened, and he looked at Su Ci with burning eyes, "He won't live long, and he can't accompany you for the rest of your life."
Su Ci looked at him seriously, "Are you sick?"
"I remember telling you very clearly that I don't like you and my affairs have nothing to do with you."
Su Ci was more hurtful than He Ermeng when she became ruthless. "It's me who don't like you. What's the point of you causing trouble for Lu Zhe? Are you venting your dissatisfaction? Do you think you are just elementary school students fighting over toys and you can snatch the toys away by suppressing others?"
Su Ci's voice was very pleasant, but her cold tone was like a knife, stabbing into He Ermeng's chest. "In my eyes, your angry and childish behavior makes you look stupid."
He Ermeng looked at Su Ci in disbelief. His body seemed to be hit hard by something and he almost couldn't stand.
The arrogance on his face faded, and he looked at Su Ci with bloodshot eyes, "Ci Ci, you are relying on my love for you to hurt me."
Su Ci shook her head, her eyes a little cold, "You are wrong. I am not relying on your love, but because I don't like you, I don't care whether I hurt you or not. You scold the person I like, and I scold you, it's fair."
He Ermeng has always been arrogant. He has a good family background and has been a bully in the family since he was a child. He has everything he wants, except when he met Su Ci, he fell headfirst on Su Ci and got a bloody head.
The girl's cold words pierced He Ermeng's chest and made his eyes red.
He breathed hard and looked at Su Ci and Lu Zhe fiercely, his chest full of unwillingness.
"My brother is stupid and has caused trouble for you two."
At this time, Brother He came out.
He still had a gentle smile on his face. He walked over and pulled his brother He Ermeng's hand, "Thank you for the Su family's hospitality today. I have something to do at home, so we won't bother you any more." "
Let's go." Brother He's men used force to half-pull and half-push He Ermeng away.
The daughter of the Su family liked the son who had just been found by the Lu family. If the Su and Lu families joined forces, their power would probably be invincible.
Brother He took He Ermeng away, and the corridor returned to silence.
Su Ci walked over and took Lu Zhe's hand. The girl who had a stern white face and a cold and aggressive expression a second ago, turned into a cute and coquettish girl in the blink of an eye. "I heard what you said to He Ermeng."
Lu Zhe pulled his pale lips, and his numb fingertips were hooked by the girl, and he gradually regained consciousness. "Although He Ermeng was targeting me, what he said was not wrong."
He raised his cold big hand and tucked a few messy hair on the girl's face behind her ears. "Tuantuan, I am indeed selfish."
Su Ci gave him an unpleasant look. "Nothing He Ermeng said was right. Nothing you say now is what I want to hear."
He will not die, and his life is still long.
"Do you know what I want to hear now?" Su Ci kicked Lu Zhe's feet with her toes to vent her dissatisfaction. The clumsy little rabbit on her ankle jumped and swayed, as if it was also angry.
Lu Zhe's dark eyes were full of indulgence, "What?"
Su Ci's white fingertips wrapped around the boy's cold big hand, "Lu Zhe will belong to Su Ci for the rest of his life."
...
When the party ended, Su Ci personally arranged for the driver to take Xie Yumin away.
"Thank you for coming to my birthday party tonight. If you need any help later, you can find me." Su Ci said to Xie Yumin in the car.
She had someone investigate Xie Yumin and found that she had mild depression. No wonder she took a lot of sleeping pills after being bullied online.
This time, she blocked the news about Xie Yumin, the scandal was not exposed, and she successfully stopped the idea of committing suicide. However, the person who released the news behind the scenes should still be found out. After all, if she hadn't stopped it, the other party would have harmed a life.
"Thank you for inviting me." Xie Yumin had to sigh. All the people present tonight were top figures. Without a certain status, they could not appear at Su Ci's birthday party.
Originally, she had a notice tonight, but the agent knew that she turned down the notice to attend a friend's birthday party and scolded her.
When the car arrived at the Su family's house, the agent was surprised to find that she was here to attend the Su family's banquet. There was a huge contrast in his attitude. The way he looked at her changed. He also repeatedly told her to seize the opportunity and not to make mistakes at the banquet.
In the past, she only had a vague concept of the Su family's power, but after tonight, Xie Yumin felt that she finally had a vague understanding of the Su family.
If Su Ci hadn't looked up to her, a third-tier actor like her would not have the opportunity and qualifications to attend such a banquet even if she struggled all her life.
Xie Yumin took the car arranged by the Su family back to the apartment assigned by the company.
As soon as she got off the car, she ran into Guan Jing who had returned.
Guan Jing looked at the car that was leaving, a dark light flashed in her eyes, "Yumin, who was the person who just sent you back? That car was not the company's car, I remember it was a luxury car limited edition worldwide, you couldn't be..."
Guan Jing is Xie Yumin's college classmate and roommate. Xie Yumin was advanced in the entertainment industry, and Guan Jing became an internet celebrity because of live streaming. Later, through Xie Yumin's connections, Guan Jing was signed by Xie Yumin's company, and the company even arranged for them to live in the same apartment.
When Xie Yumin faced her friend, she took off the coldness she pretended to have on her exterior, and a smile appeared on her delicate face, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
"I haven't said anything yet, how do you know I'm letting your imagination run wild?" Guan Jing joked, "I want to ask you, have you met a rich boyfriend?"
Xie Yumin shook her head, "No, I told you that I won't have a boyfriend before I've made some achievements in my career."
Guan Jing smiled and walked over to her and took her hand, "Okay, okay, but I'm still curious about who just sent you back? People who can afford a car like that must be wealthy."
She knew that in the world of the rich, some limited edition cars require a certain amount of assets to be purchased. The car just now was the legendary car that even if you had money you might not be able to buy.
When did Xie Yumin know such a rich man?
"You misunderstood." Xie Yumin explained to her friend, "The driver just now was the Su family's driver. I went to attend the birthday party of the Su family's daughter tonight."
Guan Jing held Xie Yumin's hand tightly, and her nails almost pinched into her arm. She asked in shock: "Su family? Which Su family? It can't be..."
"Yes, that Su family." Xie Yumin shook her hands, "Xiao Jing, you pinched me."
Guan Jing quickly withdrew her hand.
Xie Yumin did not get angry because of her friend's misbehavior. After all, when she knew that Su Ci was the daughter of the Su family, she was also shocked.
"Yumin, when did you get in touch with the Su family?"
The Su family, such a top-notch wealthy family, Xie Yumin actually got in touch with them?
Xie Yumin shook her head, "I don't have any connection with the Su family, it was the daughter of the Su family who wanted to make friends with me, and she invited me to her birthday party." She smiled, and her cold face became more lively, "You also know the daughter of the Su family."
Guan Jing looked at her in confusion.
"The new guest who recorded the food program that day."
"Are you talking about Qin Shiyan?" Guan Jing had heard that Qin Shiyan was the adopted daughter of the Su family. Did Xie Yumin get in touch with Qin Shiyan on the day of the recording?
"It's not her, it's another new guest, Su Ci." Xie Yumin told Guan Jing, "Su Ci is the real daughter of the Su family."
Guan Jing was stunned and looked at Xie Yumin in disbelief, "Su Ci is the daughter of the Su family?" She
remembered that when the new guest came that day, she subconsciously looked at her a few more times. After all, with such a beautiful face, anyone would think it was a threat, and she didn't like it.
So, except for the initial greeting, she didn't have any communication with the other party.
Moreover, she once worried that Su Ci would become popular on the show with her pretty face, but unexpectedly, she was scolded by Qin Shiyan's fans and became a hot search. No wonder the hot search was removed so quickly that day, and all the online scoldings against Su Ci were deleted. It turned out that Su Ci had such a great background.
She remembered that Xie Yumin had a few words with Su Ci that day. Could it be that Xie Yumin hooked up with Su Ci?
Guan Jing was filled with regret. With the status of the Su family, even Qin Shiyan could become popular in the entertainment industry with the rumor that she was an adopted daughter of the Su family, and no one dared to offend her. If she hooked up with the Su family, it would be like a step to heaven.
"Yumin, tell me what you saw and who you met at the banquet today, and what kind of personality Su Ci has. I really want to know..." Guan Jing pestered Xie Yumin, asking about the Su family.
Before the banquet was about to end, Lu Chen and Wen Ya had already left with Lu Zhe.
In the car, Lu Chen suddenly said to his son: "I saw you coming down from the second floor just now."
Looking out the window, Lu Zhe slowly turned around and met his father's teasing peach blossom eyes.
"So what if my son came up from the second floor?" Wen Ya didn't understand what her husband meant.
Lu Chen approached his wife and told her, "Yaya, you don't know, our son is walking with the little daughter of the Su family."
"Dad." Lu Zhe shouted helplessly.
"What do you mean by walking together?" Wen Ya immediately reacted the next second, "Son, are you and Su Ci in love?"
She was wondering why the little daughter of the Su family invited her son to dance. It turned out that the two were a couple?
"No, that's not right." Wen Ya remembered that her son and Su Ci had only greeted each other very distantly at the banquet, and the two were not very enthusiastic. "Why do I see that you and Su Ci are very polite?"
"Needless to say, he and the little daughter of the Su family are secretly in love with us." Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, with a look of insight, "Anyway, I won't object to my son being in love. They must be guarding against the couple in Su Shengguo."
"Son, is that so?" Wen Ya felt that she didn't care about her son enough. She didn't even know such an important thing as her son liking the daughter of the Su family.
Lu Zhe pursed his thin lips, and facing his parents' eyes, he responded in a low voice.
Lu Chen already knew that the two young people were together, so he was not too surprised. Knowing that his son went upstairs to meet Su Ci, he just teased him.
But Wen Ya was different. She was surprised and nervous when she suddenly knew that her son was in love.
"Was mom too cold in front of Su Ci just now?" Wen Ya recalled her expression and behavior just now, and she was a little annoyed that she was not more friendly to Su Ci.
How could she not see the difference between the two children?
"No, no, Yaya, you are always gentle." Lu Chen didn't care that his son was beside him, and he flattered his wife.
"It's all your fault. You knew it long ago, why didn't you tell me?" Wen Ya glared at her husband fiercely.
Lu Chen was thick-skinned and was content with being looked down upon. He approached his wife and said, "I was afraid you would get too excited and show your true feelings in front of the Su couple."
"Son, don't the Su Shengguo couple know that you and Su Ci are together?" Wen Ya asked her son.
Lu Zhe knew that he couldn't keep his parents a secret about his relationship with Su Ci. "Uncle Su and Aunt Su don't know that Su Ci and I are together, and I don't plan to let them know."
"Why?" His son wanted to be with Su Ci without any status?
"My time is short, and I don't plan to make it public that Su Ci and I are together, and her parents won't approve of it." Lu Zhe's eyelids were lowered, covering the look in his eyes.
Wen Ya couldn't bear to hear her son say such things. Her eyes were sore and swollen. "Mom will ask people to do their best to heal you. You like Su Ci, and mom will support you. But don't say that you won't live long in the future. Mom feels bad to hear that."
Her son was smart and well-behaved when he was young, but he has grown up in the blink of an eye. She hasn't compensated him well yet. She prays to God to let her son live a long life without illness and pain.
Lu Zhe responded softly.
On the side, Lu Chen calmed down, and sadness flashed in his peach blossom eyes.
The Lu family is powerful, but they are still powerless in the face of life and death.
The weather in summer changes suddenly. After the banquet, it started to rain heavily.
The rain in the middle of the night fell all around with a cool breeze, and only the sound of rain could be heard. The
guard looked at the man who got out of the car, standing in front of the iron gate with unsteady steps, and he hurried forward to inquire about the situation.
"I want to see Cici, ask her to come out to see me." He Ermeng's handsome face was full of alcohol.
"Second Young Master, let's go back, Miss Su has already fallen asleep, let's not disturb her rest." The driver held an umbrella and tried to pull He Ermeng away.
"Get out of the way, I want to wait for Cici to come and see me." He Ermeng was drunk, and he pushed the driver away.
The guard then realized that the person outside the door was the young master of the He family. It was raining so hard. If the young master of the He family got wet, it would be troublesome for the He family to investigate.
The driver stepped forward and said to the guard, "Our young master is drunk, but he wants to see Miss Su. Can you help tell her? Otherwise, the young master will not leave without seeing Miss Su."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The guard frowned, "I will ask someone to tell her, but whether the lady is willing to come out is not our business."
"Of course, thank you." The driver's umbrella was covering He Ermeng's head, but He Ermeng's clothes were already wet.
Su Ci was awakened by the knock on the door.
She stood behind the door, half-closed her eyes, "Is there something wrong?"
The servant was at a loss, and conveyed it a little cautiously: "Miss, the second young master of the He family is now outside the gate in the rain, waiting to see you."
"What time is it now?" Su Ci's voice was full of sleepiness, a little soft and a little lazy.
The servant replied: "Two thirty in the morning."
Su Ci couldn't help yawning, she opened her eyes, and her watery and hazy eyes were a little cold, "It's early morning, he doesn't sleep, I want to sleep, what's wrong with you?"
"The guard said that the second young master of the He family is drunk." The servant felt nervous and said quickly.
"So he's drunk and mad." Su Ci was speechless for a while, "You go tell He Ermeng that I won't go out to see him."
She must be crazy to go out in such heavy rain.
"The guard said that the second young master He doesn't want to leave without seeing you, young lady. If he keeps getting wet in the rain, this..." The servant felt that the second young master of the He family was really infatuated with his young lady, and the young lady might be tempted to make trouble.
Su Ci frowned, "If he likes to get wet in the rain, let him get wet. Life is not an idol drama. Even if he gets gonorrhea or gets wet to death, I still don't like him. If he still doesn't leave, just call his eldest brother and have him escorted away so that he doesn't disturb my sleep."
"Young lady..." The servant was a little bit unbelievable when he heard Su Ci's cold words.
"Go, what are you doing?" Su Ci was sleeping soundly, but was suddenly awakened. Her tone was not very gentle, "Tell He Ermeng what I said directly, and don't bother me anymore."
"Yes, Miss." The servant didn't dare to think too much and hurried to tell him.
The big raindrops fell on his body, hitting him painfully.
The servant held an umbrella and repeated Su Ci's words to He Ermeng without missing a word.
"Did Ci Ci really say that?" He Ermeng's face was full of rain, and his scarlet eyes were blurred by the rain. "I'm afraid I'm a joke in her eyes?"
The servant didn't dare to hum.
At this time, a car stopped at the door of Su's house.
Brother He got out of the car holding an umbrella. He looked at his brother who was leaning against the door in the rain. He walked forward and said, "Ameng, let's go home."
He Ermeng looked at his brother with drunken eyes and burst into tears.
He admitted that when he first met Su Ci, he was attracted by her beauty, but her good looks were her advantages. Who said that you can't like someone just because they are good-looking?
Gradually, he liked not only her face, but also her whole body.
Even when she fiercely scolded him for being boring and told him to get out, he liked it.
He Ermeng sat in the car, his wet clothes stuck to his body. The temperature was a little low in the rainy night, and he seemed not to feel the cold. The wantonness and arrogance on his eyebrows faded, and he felt lost and lonely.
His chest was empty.
Brother He asked the driver to turn on the heater. He glanced at his dazed brother and didn't say much.
He had too many things at his fingertips since he was a child, and he should know that not everything in the world can go as he wished.
His brother should grow up.
...
Su Ci didn't know that after He Ermeng left on that rainy night, he had a high fever and was sick for more than a week before he recovered. The arrogant and unruly boy seemed to have become a different person.
Su Ci didn't care what happened to He Ermeng. The college entrance examination results
of her and Lu Zhe were out. The first person Su's father called when he knew his daughter's results was Lu Chen, "Today the college entrance examination results are all out, and my daughter is the top scorer this year."
Su's father never needed to beat around the bush when he showed off in front of Lu Chen.
In the past, when Lu Chen's son was lost, every time he heard Su's father bragging about his child, he was speechless and felt so hurt. But now it is different.
Lu Chen leaned back in his office chair, raised his eyebrows, and said to Su's father on the other end of the phone with a smug look: "Oh, what a coincidence, my son is also the top scorer."
Things are different now. Not only can Su Shengguo show off his daughter, he can also show off his son.
"I plan to celebrate for my son when the time comes." Lu Chen turned his chair complacently, "By the way, which university did your daughter apply to?"
Su's father remembered that in the survey, Lu Zhe had always had good grades since he was a child. Tsk, Lu Chen, this playboy, got a bargain for nothing. "What? Are you asking me for advice?"
Lu Chen smiled more cunningly than a fox, "Yes, yes, it's been a long time since I last had the experience of being a father. Now that my son is taking the college entrance examination, of course I have to choose carefully for him."
Lu Chen lowered his posture and gathered information for his son, "Tell me which university your daughter applied to. There must be no problem with your choice. I'll take it into consideration."
Father Su didn't notice Lu Chen's intention at all. He was in a good mood and answered Lu Chen's question, "My daughter applied to B University."
"B University is good. It's close to home and convenient." Lu Chen's peach blossom eyes were full of cunning smiles.
After hanging up the phone, he called his wife to take credit, "Yaya, I heard that Su Ci applied to University B, so let's choose University B too..."
Su Ci had already agreed with Lu Zhe to choose the same university, and she was not surprised at all when she saw the results. What was surprising was that she received huge transfers from her parents and eldest brother, saying that they were rewards for her.
She found that her family liked to give her money at any time.
Even Xiao Tiancai and Xiao Su Ning took out their private money and happily stuffed a red bill into her hand, boasting that their sister did well in the exam and gave her a reward.
The two little carrot heads were so cute.
Big brother Su Zhiyuan only has one month left to live, so Su Ci can only wait, and the time for the second food show recording has come.
Everyone in the crew thought that after Su Ci was scolded on the hot search last time, she would not be in a good mood. However, when the girl appeared in the crew with a rosy face and bright black eyes, they realized that they were overthinking it. It was obvious that Su Ci did not care about what happened on the Internet.
In the guest lounge.
Guan Jing saw Su Ci coming in, she took out a thermos from her bag and walked towards Su Ci.
There was a caring smile on her pretty face, "Su Ci, the weather has been a bit hot recently, so I cooked some pear and tremella syrup at home. I brought some to you, would you like to drink it?"
Seeing the other party's eager expression, Su Ci directly refused, "No, I don't need it." Guan Jing
put down the thermos with a smile and continued to ask Su Ci, "Can I sit next to you when we record the show later?"
"Why?" Last time, Guan Jing was not so attentive to her.
Guan Jing explained, "I feel too pressured sitting next to the Nanyi."
Su Ci did not agree, and said coldly, "The director will arrange the guests' seats."
Guan Jing was bored, and when Xie Yumin came in after putting on makeup, she whispered to Xie Yumin, "This eldest daughter of the Su family is so arrogant. I just chatted with her and wanted to give her some of the cooked syrup, but she ignored me."
Although Xie Yumin had little contact with Su Ci, she felt that Su Ci had the arrogance of a rich lady, but she would not put on airs. "Maybe she is not familiar with you."
Guan Jing bit her lip and didn't say much.
Not long after, the staff came to inform all the guests that they were all there and they could start recording.
Qin Shiyan had already put on makeup in another lounge.
When they first walked into the recording room, several guests vomited subconsciously when they smelled the stench in the room.
"It stinks." Guan Jing covered her nose and couldn't help but say something.
Qin Shiyan just walked in and smelled the smell in the air. Her brows were furrowed and her tone was filled with disgust, "What is this smell?" She vomited, and couldn't help but vomited several times in a row.
Is this meant to stink?
Xie Yumin, who was walking behind, was fine. She just sniffed, while Nan Yi, who was standing next to her, took a deep breath and said, "I think it smells pretty good." He strode in.
Su Ci, who was walking at the end, frowned slightly between her delicate brows. Inexplicably, she felt that this program group was full of bad taste.
She said nothing and went to her seat and sat down.
The guests had no idea that the live broadcast had begun the moment they stepped into the room, and all their reactions were broadcasted.
"Hahaha, did someone fart in the recording studio? Several guests are about to faint from the stink."
"It's so funny, Qin Shiyan is about to vomit from the stink."
"Hold my Xiaoyan, why does the recording studio stink? Did the director fart?"
"I guess someone was eating durian in the room just now?"
"I'm the only one who noticed that Su Ci looks so good even with her wrinkled eyebrows, what kind of fairy is this?" "
Go away, you plastic surgery freak, my Xiaoyan is the fairy."
"Did the program crew prepare something very smelly?"
Netizens were curious, after all, they laughed to death when they saw the guests almost fainting from the stink.
Then, the camera moved with the guests and came to the long dining table, and everyone found that the table was already full of food.
The director sat in the host's seat. He smiled and said, "I have prepared some special food for you today. Those who like it will love it, and those who don't like it will find it disgusting."
The director smiled and asked the staff to remove the plate covers covering the food. The dishes were exposed in front of everyone, and the stench became stronger.
The director introduced: "Today we will try the special stinky tofu, snail rice noodle, stinky winter melon, fatty intestine, stinky mandarin fish... and of course, the king of fruits, durian."
"Hahahaha, I can see that the guests are desperate."
"You know what, although these smell bad, they taste delicious."
"Xiaoyan covered her mouth and wanted to vomit. What should I do? I feel so bad."
"Can you please not let our Xiaoyan eat it? She is a grown lady and she must not be used to eating these things."
"The program crew is so naughty. I saw Xiaoyan's eyes were filled with tears because of the stench. I hate the program crew."
"Eat it if you want, other guests can eat it, but Qin Shiyan is too noble to eat it? The last time Su Ci refused to eat rabbit meat, your brain-dead fans chased her and scolded her for being pretentious. Don't be so hypocritical."
"Is the person in front a fan of Su Ci, the plastic surgery girl? You don't know Qin Shiyan's identity, she was raised in the Su family since she was a child, and she has never eaten these snacks."
"Yes, Xiaoyan has never eaten these. Everyone knows that people who have never eaten them think that stinky tofu and snail noodles are very smelly and difficult to accept. Why compare others with Xiaoyan?"
"Don't compare Su Ci with Xiaoyan, okay? She even imitated my Xiaoyan's teardrop mole under the corner of her eye. It's disgusting."
...
Su Ci didn't know she was in trouble again. She picked up a piece of stinky tofu and looked at it. It was black and smelly. She frowned and took a bite hesitantly.
