Lu Haifeng felt a chill in his heart. Sure enough, people are treated differently. Even if his birth mother had schemed against this man, she still gave birth to a son for him. For so many years, he had ignored them and their son, and back then he really had the heart to want to kill them.
However, Lu Haifeng is a man whose years of forbearance have long since honed his ability to be flexible and adaptable.
He laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Right now, your combined shares in the Lu Group are less than 10%, right? If I take over, I promise you, I'll raise your share to 15%. How about that?"
Lu Shanhe paused for a moment, swirling his wine glass in his hand, a calculating glint in his eyes. "I don't care. If you can convince my wife, you can do whatever you want!"
"Okay! Then I'll go find your wife!"
Guangcheng's nights are always brightly lit and bustling. In a corner of a small bar, Qiu Mang sat alone on a sofa, with five empty wine bottles in front of him.
Qiu Mang has a low alcohol tolerance; five bottles of wine is his limit.
She opened her slightly dazed eyes and raised her hand. "Waiter! The bill, please!"
She staggered out of the bar, hailed a taxi, gave them her address, and then fell into a deep sleep.
As the car continued its journey, the driver noticed through the rearview mirror that the little girl had fallen asleep, so he thoughtfully turned up the air conditioning temperature in the car.
While waiting at a red light, the driver saw that he still had 30 seconds left, so he took out his phone to reply to a message. When he looked up, a truck loaded with goods was suddenly heading straight for them.
The driver's eyes widened, and he quickly turned the steering wheel.
"Clang!"
Qiu Mang was jolted awake by the massive impact. She opened her eyes and saw a large crowd gradually gathering around her. Then, screams of fright and cries for help mingled together.
The ambulance arrived quickly. In her dazed state, Qiu Mang saw a tall, imposing man run over. The man glanced at her, then roared angrily at a group of medical staff as if he were a madman. He looked very angry.
Qiu Mang felt she must be going crazy. Why would Lu Yanting come? They had clearly broken up.
It must have been a dream. Qiu Mang suddenly felt very sleepy, her eyelids were heavy, and the last thing she remembered was a drop of blood sliding down her eyelid and landing on her neck. It was warm.
When Qiu Mang woke up again, she was greeted by a snow-white ceiling. If it weren't for the beeping of various instruments in her ears, she would have thought she had arrived in heaven.
"Qiu Mang, you're awake?"
Qiu Mang glanced at the spot next to the bed and saw Han Bing looking excited.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Mang asked weakly.
“We’re friends! Of course I’d come over if something happened to you! Do you want some water? The doctor said you might be thirsty when you wake up.” Han Bing said, bringing over a water cup with a straw and thoughtfully placing the straw to Qiu Mang’s lips.
Qiu Mang shook her head. "I broke up with Lu Yanting. You don't need to be so nice to me."
Han Bing looked surprised. "Impossible! You must be mistaken! Yan Ting likes you so much, how could he break up with you? Besides, whatever your relationship with Yan Ting is, it doesn't affect our friendship!"
Qiu Mang felt weak and didn't want to go into any more details with her.
Forget it, Zhu Ran is a very popular star now. Anyone who just glances at the entertainment news will probably know about Lu Yanting and Zhu Ran's current situation.
Qiu Mang glanced at the medical equipment beside her. "Han Bing, am I seriously injured?"
Han Bing laughed, "Luckily, you're alright. When that big truck came crashing into you, your taxi driver was very skilled. He made a sharp turn and quickly avoided the truck. He only hit the curb, and you only scraped your forehead. It's nothing serious."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang quickly sat up straight, "I thought..."
Han Bing covered her mouth and chuckled, "At first we thought something had happened to you! When we rushed over, we saw you lying on the bed and thought you were unconscious. But the doctor said he did a full check-up and said you were fine, you just drank too much and got drunk!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang herself was both amused and exasperated.
Han Bing suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Qiu Mang, many of the girls we rescued from Huangtu Village last time have already contacted their families and been sent home. Some of them suffered severe psychological trauma and have serious mental problems. They are receiving psychological counseling and are also in this hospital. Shall we go and see them later?"
Qiu Mang nodded, "Okay!"
With a creak.
The door was pushed open, and the doctor pushed over a trolley. He examined Qiu Mang again and, after confirming that there were no problems, smiled gently.
"Girl, your boyfriend is really good to you. Last night, when he saw the blood on your forehead, he was so nervous that his hands were shaking. He even pointed at us and threatened to fight us if we couldn't save you! Although we were scared at the time, we could see that he really cares about you!"
Qiu Mang looked at Han Bing with confusion. Han Bing shrugged and said, "Yeah! It's Brother Yan Ting! I already told you, he really likes you!"
Qiu Mang then remembered the figure she had seen last night. It was real; he really had come to save her!
Qiu Mang saw on entertainment news a couple of days ago that a reporter asked Zhu Ran what activities she had planned besides filming.
Zhu Ran replied that filming would be delayed by a few days because she fell and twisted her ankle at a promotional event for her new film. Her boyfriend was very worried about her health, so he insisted that she rest at home for a week!
"Wow! It seems your boyfriend cares a lot about you, Miss Zhu. If you're resting at home, will he come over to take care of you?"
Zhu Ran said shyly, "Of course, he has already put aside all his work at the company and will be staying at my house to take care of me for the next week!"
Qiu Mang clenched her fists tightly. She still couldn't believe it, or rather, she didn't want to believe it. She really couldn't imagine how someone who would risk his own life to save her could just break off all ties like that.
So, as if by some strange twist of fate, she ran downstairs to the Lu Group building, where Yan Kai happened to be walking out of the lobby, making a phone call as he walked.
Yan Kai explained some company matters over the phone, saying that President Lu was very busy this week and didn't have time to come over, and that if there was anything, he should contact Ms. Lu Nian.
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Mang saw Lu Yanting coming out of the building. Yan Kai quickly went up to him, "Mr. Lu, the car is here. We'll go to the hospital now!"
