Xiao He lost the desire to continue speaking, and the ward fell into a brief silence.
Xie Jingshi looked left and right, and could only bite the bullet and continue chatting with Lu Yuxi about random things. Soon, the group prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Just as they reached the elevator, Lu Yuxi's manager, Lu Yu—or rather, her former manager—appeared out of nowhere and called out to Xiao He.
"Teacher Xiao, please wait a moment!"
The other party shouted loudly, and people passing by in the corridor heard it and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Xiao He. Several sharp-eyed nurses suddenly lit up, obviously recognizing Xiao He and Xie Jingshi.
A short gasp rang out in the corridor.
Fortunately, this was a hospital, and patients and their families didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to celebrities. The nurses and doctors also had their own responsibilities, so after the brief commotion, no one went up to bother Xiao He and his group.
Even so, this situation still made Xiao He and his group frown.
Liu Rulan stepped forward first, blocking Xiao He's path, and said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this Manager Lu? I didn't see you in the ward earlier. Oh, I almost forgot, you're no longer Lu Yuxi's manager."
Lu Yu seemed oblivious to Liu Rulan's sarcasm, her gaze still fixed on Xiao He, as she tentatively asked, "Teacher Xiao, can we talk alone?"
Xiao He: ?
Xiao He didn't know what she was going to do, but his intuition told him it wasn't anything of value and would be a waste of time to listen. So he decisively shook his head: "For business matters, you can talk to my agent directly."
Just then, the elevator Xie Jingshi pressed arrived, so Xiao He followed Xie Jingshi into the elevator, while Liu Rulan stayed behind: "Xiao He is right, you can talk to me about anything. Manager Lu, let's find a quiet place to talk?"
"Why--"
Lu Yu wanted to follow Liu Rulan into the elevator, but Liu Rulan wouldn't give her the chance. She took a step forward and blocked Lu Yu's way.
So Lu Yu could only watch helplessly as the elevator doors slowly closed.
She could only look at Liu Rulan with resentment: "Manager Liu, things are different now."
Liu Rulan gave a forced smile: "Oh? Are we that close?"
Lu Yu stared at Liu Rulan for a long time, and finally turned away reluctantly: "Let's go, let's go to a quiet place to talk."
"Sure."
Liu Rulan followed Lu Yu's footsteps, but they were clearly not going back to Lu Yuxi's room.
A few minutes later, in another quiet ward.
Liu Rulan crossed her arms and asked impatiently, "Speak, what exactly do you want?"
Looking at the arrogant Liu Rulan in front of her, Lu Yu bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before lowering her voice and saying, "Regarding what happened online before... I hope to get your understanding."
"Whoa—"
Liu Rulan decisively denied it: "I can't make that decision; it depends on Xiao He's opinion."
“But you clearly stopped me just now—” Lu Yu suddenly became a little angry.
"Oh, so there's nothing to talk about."
Liu Rulan rubbed her fingers together, slowly examining the manicure on her hands, and asked in a calm tone, "Is there anything else?"
Lu Yu's face flushed red, then turned dark, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "Are you really going to push things to the extreme?"
Do we really have to take her to court?
"Look at what you're saying. We believe in the law and in justice."
Liu Rulan glanced at Lu Yu sideways, then listlessly reached out and carefully ran her hand across the other's cheek, adjusting the earring behind her ear. Then she lowered her voice and said, "You should be glad that everyone is civilized now, otherwise I would have slapped you long ago."
They resort to underhanded tactics, thinking they're something special.
...
In the underground parking garage, Xiao He encountered the same group of people who had been taking photos with their team earlier.
This person is probably a member of a boy band and is likely related to Lu Yuxi. Xiao He didn't intend to get to know these people well, so he just nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
After declining Xie Jingshi's invitation to lunch, both parties returned to their respective cars, and Xiao He began to wait for Liu Rulan to return.
Fortunately, Liu Rulan came down not long after.
"Let's go."
