Zhou Yan was tall and imposing, with a black birthmark that snaked across his face like a centipede. Lu Jingyao was so frightened that she took two steps back.
"How did you get here?" Lu Jingyao exclaimed in surprise.
Zhou Yan shrugged, his cold gaze sweeping over her.
Rumor has it that Lu Yunsheng, the head of the Lu Group, has a big-breasted but brainless daughter; this must be the one.
"Excuse me, you ugly monster."
Judging from his appearance, he's probably just a dog hired by the Zhou family to guard the gate; we don't need to take him seriously.
Lu Jingyao pushed Zhou Yan away and walked into the ward with a smile, carrying the gift box in her hand.
Leaning against the headboard, Ruan Qin glanced at Lu Jingyao, who was dressed in designer clothes and acted spoiled: "Who are you?"
Lu Jingyao placed the gift box on the table: "Hello, Aunt Ruan, I am the daughter of the Lu family. My name is Lu Jingyao. You must have heard of me."
“The Lu family’s daughter.” Ruan Qin glanced at her son and caught the look of disgust rising in his eyes for this woman.
This confirmed that the young lady from the Lu family was not the same person they had just been talking about.
“I’ve lived here for many years and never concern myself with outside affairs, so I may not have heard of this. What can I do for you?” Ruan Qin’s kind face was radiant with a gentle and bright smile.
"It's nothing, I was just worried you might be bored in the hospital, so I wanted to chat with you." Lu Jingyao's lips curled up slightly, but her eyes were searching around.
Ruan Qin saw through her thoughts at a glance, glancing at her son leaning against the door, "Miss Lu is so thoughtful."
"Aunt Ruan, do you usually live here alone? Don't your son and daughter come to visit you?" Lu Jingyao asked bluntly, probably without showing her true feelings on her face.
“My son is here.” Ruan Qin’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Where is it?" Lu Jingyao looked left and right.
“Behind you.” Ruan Qin pointed to Zhou Yan standing at the door behind her.
Zhou Yan curled his lips slightly, staring at her with an expression of anticipation.
The two people's eyes met.
Lu Jingyao shrank back, her legs feeling weak: "He...he's the eldest son of the Zhou family?"
No wonder no one in the industry has any photos of him; it turns out he's too ugly to show his face in public.
The Zhou family is of high social standing, but for her to marry such an ugly man and live with him every day is no different from stepping into the abyss of hell.
Ruan Qin stared intently at the disgust and disdain in the woman's eyes.
"Yes, that's Zhou Yan, my son. Miss Lu, you seem to be having trouble accepting it? I just heard you call him an ugly monster."
"I... I didn't mean to judge by appearance, I was just a little surprised. Aunt Ruan, please get some rest, I'll head back now." Lu Jingyao's hair stood on end, afraid that the other party would hold a grudge and tell her father what she had said.
So he got up and took his leave without hesitation.
Before leaving, I saw the two expensive gift boxes on the table and felt extremely regretful.
Such an expensive gift is too good for them.
“Miss Lu, won’t you stay a little longer? My son is single now, so you can get to know him better.” Ruan Qin deliberately tried to persuade her to stay when she saw that she was in a hurry to leave.
She couldn't even escape in time, so why would she want to stay any longer?
"No, I have a boyfriend."
Lu Jingyao walked out of the ward without looking back.
After leaving the ward, she clutched her chest, still shaken, fearing she would be entangled with this family.
That's terrifying.
Zhou Yan stepped out of the ward.
Standing behind her like a ghost, Lu Jingyao caught sight of him and exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing following me out?"
Zhou Yan, who had already rinsed and disinfected the lunchbox, had no intention of paying any attention to Lu Jingyao.
Lu Jingyao caught a glimpse of the lunchbox in his hand, her mind raced, and she quickly came up with a plan.
Such an ugly monster should be enjoyed by Lu Zhiwei.
"Aren't you going to return this lunchbox to my sister? I'll take you there." Lu Jingyao took it upon herself to lead Zhou Yan to the door of her grandmother's hospital room.
Grandma has already taken her afternoon nap and gone to sleep.
Lu Zhiwei saw two familiar figures at the door and gestured for them to be quiet so as not to wake her grandmother.
She then closed the door and quietly left.
"Little sister, this Mr. Zhou wants to thank you for the meal earlier." Lu Jingyao brought the two of them together.
Zhou Yan handed over the lunchbox with both hands.
Lu Zhiwei took it: "Is it delicious?"
"Someone was even hungrier than me, and their food was taken away, so they didn't get any. I wonder if there will be another chance next time?" A trace of disappointment lingered in Zhou Yan's dark eyes.
"Don't worry, as long as I have food to eat, you definitely won't starve." Lu Zhiwei patted his arm generously, giving off the feeling of an older brother protecting his younger brother.
Seeing that the two of them were having a pleasant conversation, Lu Jingyao wisely withdrew from the competition.
It seems that Lu Zhiwei is unaware of Zhou Yan's identity.
Once they were very close, she immediately told her father that they were having an affair, and that the wedding would have to take place regardless.
At that time, everyone in Yunzhou will laugh at Lu Zhiwei for marrying such an ugly man in her second marriage.
Lu Jingyao had just pressed the elevator button to go downstairs.
Shen Jinmo stepped out of another elevator.
To get to Xia Wanying's ward, you have to pass by Lu Zhiwei's maternal grandmother's ward.
Thus, Lu Zhiwei and Zhou Yan's cheerful conversation was like a sharp thorn, freezing Shen Jinmo in place.
An inexplicable anger spread from his tall figure.
"Miss Lu has become so self-destructive after leaving me that she can even stomach this kind of trash?" Shen Jinmo's brows furrowed, and his words were harsh and unpleasant.
Zhou Yan turned his head, his dark eyes falling on Shen Jinmo's face, a carefree smile playing on his lips: "May I ask, what kind of person am I?"
