The aunt who came upstairs to deliver dinner was so frightened when she saw Lu Peijing fainted that she even knocked over the food and hurried downstairs to call for help.

"Call an ambulance! Mr. Lu has fainted!"

…

The whole villa suddenly became chaotic.

When the ambulance arrived, the aunt noticed that Lu Peijing's left hand was clenched tightly and he did not let go even after he fainted.

"What's in Mr. Lu's hand?!" After the aunt asked, the doctor also realized something was wrong, and then they all worked together to pry open his fingers.

"clang--"

An exquisite little object came out of his hand - it was an extremely delicate ring. He held it in his palm. It was not tainted with any smell of cigarettes or alcohol. It seemed as charming as a bright star.

The two aunts looked at each other, and suddenly seemed to understand something in their hearts.

Afterwards, Lu Peijing was sent to the ambulance. He had been drinking and smoking heavily and working late at night these days. Even a body of iron could not bear it, not to mention that he was just an ordinary person now.

Soon, the news that Lu Peijing fainted at home and was admitted to the hospital spread widely and became known to everyone, causing a stir on the Internet.

* Compared to here, Su Zhiruan's life has become more urgent during this period.

One of the reasons why she chose to live in this small city was that the school she chose for postgraduate entrance examination was here. If she could be admitted, she could continue her studies, improve her academic qualifications, and be closer to her grandmother.

"Ruan Ruan, don't help for now! The exam is coming up, go and memorize your lessons!" Grandma saw Su Zhiruan helping in the store and hurriedly pushed her to go back to study.

My grandmother has loved flowers all her life. Taking care of flowers and plants makes her feel peaceful and happy.

Su Zhiruan transferred one million yuan into his grandmother's card, and then quickly bought a store and let his grandmother open a flower shop there. He grew flowers himself for customers to choose from, without considering profit or fame. As long as the customers liked the flowers, they would buy them.

"Studying should also be a combination of work and rest - the flowers are blooming so beautifully!" Su Zhiruan reached out and touched the flowers, marveling at them.

"If you like it, take it back. Seeing beautiful flowers will give you motivation to study." Seeing that she liked it, her grandmother handed her the flowerpot with a smile, "Okay, okay, go back and study. I'm here and I'll definitely take good care of you."

Su Zhiruan was very relieved. Her grandmother could read and write. When she was young, she was well-known for being easy to get along with, kind to others, and very capable. Not long after the two of them came here, her grandmother had already made friends with many elderly people of the same age. Sometimes they would go there to appreciate flowers, drink tea, and play chess. Her life was much happier than hers.

As for her, since the exam is approaching in December, she should go back and prepare more.

While walking on the street, she casually checked the trending searches, but unexpectedly saw a familiar name appear on it.

#Lu Peijing, president of Lu Group, fainted at home# She was stunned. When she saw the name again, she felt mixed emotions.

It must be very cold in Beijing at this time, and it might even be snowing.

Su Zhiruan clicked on this entry, which contained detailed news reports and comments from netizens.

[Lu Peijing, CEO of Lu's Group, fainted at home at 1:58 am. The nanny called the emergency number in time. Our medical staff arrived quickly and sent Lu Peijing to the hospital in time. His current condition is unclear...]

The netizens’ responses below are also varied, saying all sorts of things.

[How could Mr. Lu faint at home? He said before that he was not disabled, but now he still looks unwell! ]

[Why do I feel like there is a conspiracy? Could it be some tricks used by a wealthy family? Could it be that someone poisoned me? I am terrified when I think about it! ]

…

Su Zhiruan stopped and read the netizens' comments carefully. Then, she opened WeChat and clicked on Lu Peijing's chat box. She wanted to send something, but the content she entered always felt wrong. She deleted them all and felt that she was really confused.

Now that the contract has ended, it’s better not to bother him.

So, Su Zhiruan put away his phone and prepared to go home to study hard.

* The day after Lu Peijing fell into a coma, he woke up.

Looking at the snow-white ceiling of the hospital, the infusion bottle above his head, and the smell of medicine and disinfectant around him, he drooped his eyelashes.

As expected, I came to the hospital.

He suddenly felt that it was a good thing to be alone. For others, being hospitalized was certainly not a good thing, but for Lu Peijing at this moment, it might be a rare way to relax himself.

"You are so relaxed!" A man walked in from the door. He had gray hair but was energetic. It was Mr. Lu. He stood at the door, holding his crutches in both hands, and rolled his eyes at Lu Peijing. "Drink and smoke! Look at what you look like now! Not to mention Su girl, even I, your own father, can't stand it!"

"Don't mention her." Lu Peijing was not in high spirits. He felt even more heartbroken when he mentioned Su Zhiruan. He simply turned his head away and looked at the dry branches outside the window. It seemed like it was going to snow. "How is the company?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Why can't I mention it? Did you do something to let her down? Didn't you just confess your feelings and make her feel like she was being kept by someone else, so she left?" Mr. Lu slapped his head, feeling confused. Seeing that Lu Peijing was concerned about the company, he rolled his eyes again and said simply, "During this period of time, the company should let an old man like me take charge. You've made yourself into this state, so you should take a few more days off. I can still handle a few documents."

"As for Mingzhu and the other three, I have also hired someone to take care of them. After all, you are the father of three children, so be more stable." Mr. Lu found a chair to sit down and took a sip of water. "So, now can you tell me what happened between you and Miss Su?"

Lu Peijing sat up and looked out the window in silence.

The sky at this time was white.

It is naturally different from the small town where she is now where it is spring all year round.

It’s going to snow in the evening.

Old Master Lu just looked at him. No one knows a son better than his parents. He knew that Lu Peijing would speak.

At this moment, even Mr. Lu found it difficult to recognize Lu Peijing.

In just a few days since Su Zhiruan left, he has become the devastated person he is now.

He is now thin, wearing a blue and white hospital gown, with an infusion tube inserted on the back of his hand, liquid being injected drop by drop. He remains silent, looking out the window without moving, like a statue, silent and speechless.

It was in stark contrast to the original man who had a fairy-like appearance, a graceful figure, and was cold and otherworldly.

"She and I have a contract."

Lu Peijing finally spoke. He lowered his eyelashes and told the whole story in a calm voice.
