Lu Huan didn't break any bones, she just felt a little pain and couldn't move for the time being.
She called the school nurse over, pointed to her leg, and said, "Teacher, could you please bandage my leg? The more serious it looks, the better."
Everyone was puzzled. Xin Yue asked, "Your leg wasn't injured, so why do you need it bandaged?"
"That's just so I can look more pitiful, so I can complain to my husband with a clear conscience!"
Xin Yue: ...
She can't control whose parents favor, but her husband is her own.
Even minor injuries usually make men extremely nervous, let alone seeing her leg bandaged up.
Xin Yue quickly figured out what Lu Huan was planning, and gave her a thumbs up, "Sisters are really something!"
Lu Huan chuckled, "You flatter me!"
She's stupid for not using a husband she already has!
If it weren't for the fact that the infirmary doesn't allow for plaster casts, Lu Huan would have loved to have both legs in casts.
The ankle was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, which looked quite respectable.
Lu Huan was quite satisfied. She took a picture of her feet and sent it to Gu Zhendong.
[Waaaaah, honey, I'm hurt!]
Lu Huan rarely said such mushy and coquettish things to Gu Zhendong, but it wasn't unheard of.
When Gu Zhendong saw the photo Lu Huan sent, her foot was wrapped in gauze and looked quite serious. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately called, "How did you hurt your foot? What happened?"
Only half an hour had passed since the previous phone call, how did she manage to turn herself into the grotesque figure in the photo?
Lu Huan cried out in a strained voice, "Honey, someone pushed me down the stairs!"
"Speak properly, don't cry!"
As soon as Gu Zhendong heard her crying, he rushed over in a hurry.
There was another meeting to come, and Kong Xun just came in from outside to remind him to get ready, as the meeting was about to begin. Just as he was about to say the words, he saw Gu Zhendong walking over.
However, judging from his flustered expression, he doesn't look like he's going to a meeting.
Kong Xun was still wondering when he heard Gu Zhendong say on his phone, "At the school clinic? Okay, I'll be right there. Don't cry, sweetie!"
School clinic?
Kong Xun understood immediately; it turned out the landlady was injured, no wonder his boss looked so serious.
Realizing what was happening, she hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, what about the next part of the meeting..."
The phone call was still going on when Lu Huan heard Kong Xun reminding her to start a meeting. She immediately stopped her weak sobs. "If you're busy with a meeting, don't worry about me. I can manage on my own!"
Gu Zhendong denied it, saying, "It's nothing important. Just wait there quietly, I'll be there soon!"
"Um."
After Gu Zhendong finished speaking, he hung up the phone and gave Kong Xun a cold look, as if to say: You talk too much.
Kong Xun: ...Indeed, nothing is more important than the boss's wife.
Without Gu Zhendong giving any instructions, Kong Xun knew what to do.
Gu Zhendong arrived extremely quickly; Lu Huanren hadn't even had time to react before he was already there.
Lu Huan was drinking a cup of milk tea that Xin Yue had just bought, and was even swinging her bandaged foot with a blank stare.
He arrived way too fast!
The man strode over, his eyes fixed on no one else. "Does the injury still hurt badly?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on her injured foot, and his brows furrowed.
Lu Huan immediately pulled her foot back, her expression changed, and she began to cry to Gu Zhendong in a pitiful voice, "It hurts so much!"
Xin Yue was very sensible and pulled Shen Fei out, leaving the couple alone inside.
Shen Fei was a little unhappy. "Sister Xin, why did you drag me out here?"
"What are we doing standing there watching what's going on between this couple? Are we just here to eat their dog food?" Xin Yue clicked her tongue, then noticed that Shen Fei's expression wasn't good, so she quickly helped him up. "Oh right, I forgot you're injured too, come sit down!"
In fact, Shen Fei's injuries were much more serious than Lu Huan's.
Shen Fei pursed his lips, sat on a chair outside, and kept his gaze fixed on the lounge next to him.
Xin Yue muttered a whole bunch of things to herself, "I never expected my junior's husband to be so handsome..."
lounge
Only Lu Huan and Gu Zhendong remained. Lu Huan sobbed softly, but didn't shed a single tear.
Gu Zhendong carefully examined her eyes, which didn't look like she had been crying, so he figured it wasn't that serious. But her ankle was wrapped in a thick bandage, and his eyes were full of worry. "I'll take you to the hospital!"
Lu Huan was stunned when she heard about going to the hospital. "Huh? Isn't that unnecessary?"
"You're all wrapped up like this, aren't you going to the hospital?" The man looked up, his eyes sharpening, and then he was about to carry Lu Huan away.
It was just a minor injury, and Gu Zhendong was making a mountain out of a molehill. If the doctor had to re-treat her wound, wouldn't she have to endure the pain again? Besides, once the doctor removed the gauze, they would find that her ankle was perfectly fine, which would expose the truth!
No, she couldn't fool Gu Zhendong anyway.
She hurriedly hugged Gu Zhendong's waist, her legs struggling violently, "No, no need! Actually, I'm not seriously injured!"
"Um?"
"Seriously, our school doctor is amazing! She's already taken care of everything for me!"
He was still worried, so he said, "I'll go to the hospital."
"Gu Zhendong, you don't love me at all!"
Lu Huan slapped down those words, leaving Gu Zhendong completely bewildered. How could he not love her?
Lu Huan covered her face with her hands, pretending to cry, to divert his attention. "If you love me, you should ask me who pushed me down the stairs!"
Gu Zhendong: ...
The fact that Lu Huan still had the energy to cry and make a scene with him proves that she doesn't have a big problem.
Following her words, he asked, "Who pushed you down?"
"It's my younger sister, Lu Sangsang!"
Lu Huan snorted and hugged the man, pouting, "Honey, you have to stand up for me, otherwise I'll have fallen for nothing, boohoo!"
She would start sobbing constantly, her voice trembling, which gave Gu Zhendong a headache. But when he looked at her, she hadn't shed a single tear. "Speak properly!"
Lu Huan had said a lot, but before she could even embellish it, the man's face darkened.
"She pushed you down?"
Lu Huan nodded, "But I didn't see her push me, there were no cameras there, and she still won't admit it..."
Whether there is evidence or not is irrelevant to Gu Zhendong. As long as he knows that Lu Sangsang was the one who did it, she can forget about having a good life in the future.
Who can really explain these things that happen behind the scenes?
What do you want her to do?
"Hmph, your wife has suffered such a great injustice, I want her to apologize to me!" Lu Huan thought for a moment and added, "She has to apologize to me personally in front of my parents!"
"That's all?"
Gu Zhendong was not satisfied with just making Lu Sangsang apologize; he had many other methods up his sleeve.
"Honey, she's still my sister in name only, so of course I, as her older sister, have to be magnanimous and forgive her!"
Are you telling the truth?
Lu Huan bit her lip slightly, "Of course what they said is true!"
Gu Zhendong frowned, somewhat disbelieving. If she were telling the truth, she wouldn't be crying and sobbing in front of him.
Lu Huan said that, but of course, that wasn't what she really thought.
Clutching the man's clothes, she raised her tearful eyes and whispered, "But, honey, could you teach her a little lesson for me?"
Gu Zhendong: ...
He finally understood what Lu Huan meant.
So it seems that as the older sister, she has to show her magnanimous side, while he, as the brother-in-law, has to be a bit fierce.
"Then tell me how I should teach you a lesson?" Gu Zhendong asked her in return.
The man suddenly moved too close, and Lu Huan's face flushed. "Um, this is your business, it has nothing to do with me."
Well, they're already trying to distance themselves before anything has even been done.
Gu Zhendong pinched her cheek. "How come I suddenly realized you're such a heartless person?"
"No way!"
Lu Huan is injured and will be unable to rehearse today.
Gu Zhendong led her away from the infirmary, while Xin Yue and Shen Fei sat outside.
Just as the two were about to leave, Shen Fei, ignoring the pain in her knee, suddenly stood up and called out, "Sister Lu."
Hearing the sound, Lu Huan peeked out from Gu Zhendong's arms and looked at the two of them in surprise, "You haven't left yet?"
Xin Yue: ...She really does forget her friends once she has a husband.
Shen Fei stared at Lu Huan, which made Gu Zhendong feel uncomfortable.
He never liked his precious child being coveted by others, so he pressed down on Lu Huan's forehead with a little force, pushing her back down.
Lu Huan protested softly, "What are you doing!"
"If you're injured, just stay put and don't move around."
Lu Huan: ...She didn't move around at all!
She wanted to protest, but after meeting the man's fierce gaze, she obediently shut her mouth.
Gu Zhendong turned to look at Shen Fei, his scrutinizing gaze filled with displeasure. He remembered Shen Fei, but he never expected to run into him here again today.
When Lu Huan complained to me earlier, she mentioned that if Shen Fei hadn't happened to appear and catch her, things might have been much worse.
Although Gu Zhendong disliked Shen Fei, he understood that it was Shen Fei who had saved Lu Huan.
"Thank you for saving my wife. I'll treat Mr. Shen to dinner another day."
Gu Zhendong naturally had to satisfy Lu Huan's every whim, taking the "seriously injured" Lu Huan back to the Lu family to demand justice.
On the way, Gu Zhendong called Guo Yi, but all he heard was Lu Huan crying.
Guo Yi was startled. "How did he fall down the stairs? How serious are his injuries? Has he been to the hospital?"
Lu Huan answered each question while "crying," but she never answered how she had fallen down the stairs.
Gu Zhendong watched Lu Huan make a phone call, guessing that she must have looked the same when she called him earlier.
She sounded like she was crying very hard, but in reality, not a single tear fell.
I have to say, her acting was really convincing. When I first heard her crying, I thought she had suffered a great injustice.
Just like Gu Zhendong before, Guo Yi was extremely anxious because she hadn't seen Lu Huan's condition with her own eyes. "Which hospital is she in? Mom is coming right now!"
Lu Huan sobbed twice, handed the phone to Gu Zhendong, blinked, and gestured for him to speak.
Gu Zhendong's lips twitched, and he took the phone. "Mom, we're on our way back, so don't worry."
How can one not worry when someone rolls down the stairs like that?
I wonder how badly my daughter is hurt. She's always been afraid of pain, so she must have fallen really hard this time, otherwise she wouldn't have cried so much on the phone.
