Lu Sangsang was well aware of the ways of the entertainment industry and was afraid of revealing any flaws. Therefore, when she contacted paparazzi to follow her and sold information to marketing accounts, she always did so anonymously, ensuring that no one could find any information about her.
Everyone guessed that Lu Sangsang was the one who could drag Lu Huan down with her, but there was never any evidence.
Therefore, even though Lu Sangsang was scolded mercilessly by Lu Zhong, she gritted her teeth and refused to admit that she had done it.
Lu Zhong almost fainted from anger. Ever since he recognized Lu Sangsang as his biological daughter, one trouble after another had occurred, and he had never had a peaceful day.
Regardless of whether Lu Sangsang did it or not, Lu Zhong has to give Gu Zhendong an explanation.
"Alright, clarify tomorrow that Huanhuan is your biological sister, understand?"
Lu Sangsang nodded, "I understand!"
"Get out!"
He'd said enough, he'd cursed enough, and now all Lu Zhong wanted was to rest.
She rubbed her temples, wondering how to explain things to Gu Zhendong, when she caught a glimpse of Lu Sangsang standing there. "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Lu Sangsang clutched her skirt, hesitating as if to say something, "Dad, there's something else I need to tell you!"
Lu Zhong frowned. "What is it?"
"It's about me and Chu Jun." Lu Sangsang glanced timidly at Lu Zhong. "Chu Jun doesn't like me. I think we should just forget about our engagement!"
Although Chu Jun didn't verbally accuse her during last night's phone call, the speed with which he removed the trending topic afterward clearly showed that he didn't want to be associated with her. Lu Sangsang bit her lip. No matter what, she still had to put on this act.
This was infuriating enough, but what happened next was even more infuriating.
Lu Zhong was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? This marriage was arranged a long time ago, and it can't just be dropped like this!"
"But Dad, Chu Jun really doesn't like me. Forcing us together will only make him hate me more. Besides, Chu Jun isn't the kind of person who can be manipulated..."
"Enough!" Lu Zhong couldn't take it anymore and slammed his hand on the table. "Shut up!"
Lu Sangsang shut her mouth reluctantly, since she had already achieved her goal.
"dad!"
Lu Zhongqi's face turned red with anger. He loosened his tie and pointed to the door: "Get out! I don't want to see you!"
The matter concerning Lu Huan was quickly taken down, but it still became a topic of conversation, especially among those at school who knew Lu Huan, who discussed it in groups of three or five.
Chu Han and the others sent their concerned greetings, but unfortunately, the person involved was not affected by the incident at all, and was holding ice cream, potato chips and other snacks.
Gu Zhendong doesn't usually allow her to eat these things, but she used a little trick today, pretending to be uncomfortable and pitiful in front of Gu Zhendong. The man dotes on her, and if she asked for the stars in the sky, he would probably want to pluck them down for her, let alone ice cream.
After dinner, Lu Huan wanted to take a walk and exercise more to lose weight.
When they passed a nearby convenience store, they couldn't move and dragged Gu Zhendong inside.
"Honey, I want to buy some snacks!"
Gu Zhendong gave her a cold glance, and Lu Huan put on a pitiful look, hugging the man's arm and acting coquettishly: "Honey, I'm really upset about what people are saying about me online, so I just want to eat some snacks to vent!"
Gu Zhendong: ...If you're craving something, just say so.
The man, though cold-faced, was soft-hearted and finally agreed, "Just this once!"
Lu Huan cheered and quickly let go of the man's arm, rushing into the convenience store as if she wanted to take all the snacks on the shelves home.
Gu Zhendong paid, and Lu Huan couldn't wait to take off her mask, unpack the ice cream, and take a bite. "So delicious!"
"Aren't you afraid of getting menstrual cramps next time?" Gu Zhendong couldn't help but sarcastically ask, seeing her eating so happily. "Have you forgotten how much pain you cried out last time?"
Lu Huan snorted, "Pain is a matter for later, eating is the most important thing now! Do you want some?"
As she spoke, she held a half-eaten ice cream to Gu Zhendong's lips, raising an eyebrow, "This is a new flavor, it's delicious!"
Gu Zhendong didn't like eating these things, but the thought of Lu Huan eating the whole ice cream and then writhing in pain on the bed again made him lower his head and take a bite without saying a word.
He took a huge bite and ate most of it.
Lu Huan instantly felt a pang of heartache and punched his arm, stomping her foot in anger, "How could you do this? I only let you have one bite, I didn't ask you to leave me a bite!"
Gu Zhendong said expressionlessly, "I only took one bite."
"..."
Lu Huan rolled her eyes. "Brother, one bite of yours is equivalent to several of hers!"
"I don't care, you ate all of this, you have to buy me a new one!"
"I won't buy it!"
Lu Huan pouted angrily, "If you don't buy it for me, I'm not leaving here today!"
As she spoke, she stood at the doorway with a bag of snacks in her arms, looking like she was unwilling to leave.
The young girl was so engrossed in her acting that tears would well up in her eyes, and she would look at Gu Zhendong with teary eyes, which made Gu Zhendong feel overwhelmed.
He couldn't stand Lu Huan looking at him like that, so without saying a word, he turned around and went back into the convenience store, grabbing the exact same ice cream.
Lu Huan took a bite of ice cream, then stopped crying and smiled. Eating ice cream in the dead of winter made her teeth chatter, and a little bit of white ice cream still lingered on her lips. She smiled sweetly and leaned in to give the man a big kiss on the cheek. "Honey, you're so good to me!"
Gu Zhendong looked disgusted and wiped his cheek where she had kissed him with a wet tissue. Lu Huan scoffed, then gave a wronged look, "You actually dislike me!"
Gu Zhendong: ...He's gotten so addicted to acting. If he falls for it again, he's a pig.
That's how she got the ice cream and snacks she was holding by tricking people!
Ignoring Lu Huan's grievances, Gu Zhendong grabbed Lu Huan's hand and headed home.
He must have lost his mind to agree to go for a walk with Lu Huan to digest his food.
Under Lu Zhong's pressure, Lu Sangsang posted a status update on Weibo that evening.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Lu Huan lay in bed, preparing for sleep—by scrolling through her phone.
Sure enough, I immediately came across Lu Sangsang's Weibo posts.
Lu Sangsang clarified that she and Chu Jun were just friends, not in a relationship, and there was no upcoming wedding. She also clarified that Lu Huan was her older sister, and that everyone else was spreading rumors.
Lu Huan clicked his tongue; this statement really lacked any sincerity.
Following Lu Sangsang's apology and clarification, the topic quickly trended on social media again, with both positive and negative comments.
In short, what followed was a chaotic and lively scene.
Lu Huan was engrossed in watching when Gu Zhendong suddenly snatched her phone away.
She exclaimed, "Give me your phone!"
"sleep!"
Gu Zhendong tossed his phone aside, and Lu Huan rolled over, half-lying on top of the man to snatch her phone back. "I just ate, and I can't sleep now!"
She was engrossed in reading when she was suddenly interrupted. How could anyone fall asleep in that situation?
Having successfully retrieved her phone, Lu Huan was about to unlock the screen to continue reading the comments when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a man's broad and strong hand. She looked up blankly at the man who had suddenly rolled over onto her, the pillow behind her head sinking deeply. "What are you doing!"
Meeting the man's dangerous dark eyes, Lu Huan suddenly swallowed nervously. Why did he suddenly press down on her without saying a word in the middle of the night?
Lu Huan shifted and struggled, but Gu Zhendong straddled her, pressed down on her thighs, and used his other hand to hook her nightgown up. "Didn't you say you couldn't sleep? I have a good idea."
Lu Huan: ...No, I don't want to know at all!
Lu Huan was bullied so badly that her nose was red from crying. She lay on the man's body, her tears rubbing against his chest. "You're just getting back at me on purpose!"
Gu Zhendong raised his thick eyebrows. "How can this be considered retaliation? You always say you want to be on top, tonight will be the perfect time for you to experience it!"
"I don't want to experience it, I want to go down!"
Lu Huan pounded on his chest, struggling to get down. Gu Zhendong held her lower back with one hand, cupped her cheek, kissed her earlobe, and whispered, "What's wrong? Didn't you enjoy riding the horse?"
"..." Damn it!
She had to go to class the next morning, and when the third alarm rang, Lu Huan was still too sleepy to open her eyes.
After finishing breakfast downstairs, Gu Zhendong came upstairs to urge her to get up. Seeing that she was still lying in bed and refused to get up, he said, "How about I ask you to take the day off today?"
Lu Huan sat up abruptly, instantly becoming much more alert. "No, I have to attend my major class today!"
Gu Zhendong threw back the covers, "Then get up!"
Lu Huan was still sleepy. She glanced at the time; it wasn't even seven o'clock yet. She could still doze off for another ten minutes.
Her tense nerves instantly relaxed, and her body went limp as she collapsed. "I'll sleep a little longer. Wake me up at seven o'clock!"
Gu Zhendong didn't give her that choice. "By the way, there's something I need to tell you."
Lu Huan rolled over, clutching the blanket, her voice slightly sleepy, "What is it?"
"Lu Sangsang was rushed to the hospital this morning for emergency treatment!"
Zhou Gong kept calling her name, and Lu Huan, with her eyes closed, mumbled an "oh" in a daze. What did Lu Sangsang's emergency hospitalization have to do with her?
Even if the sky falls down today, don't even think about disturbing her nap for these ten minutes.
etc!
Who was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment?
After a few seconds of slow brain processing, Lu Huan sat up abruptly, staring at Gu Zhendong in shock. "You said Lu Sangsang was rushed to the hospital? You're not kidding me, are you?"
"He was taken to the hospital early this morning; it's all over the internet."
Gu Zhendong randomly clicked on one of the articles, and it was about Lu Sangsang being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Lu Huan was even more shocked, "What's going on?"
"Are you fully awake now? Then go wash up!"
"..."
Lu Sangsang was sent to the hospital early this morning, but no one knows exactly what happened.
However, some people on the internet are spreading rumors that Lu Sangsang was not doing well in the Lu family and committed suicide because she couldn't think straight.
On her way to school, Lu Huan called Guo Yi.
"Mom, what's going on?"
Guo Yi was keeping watch by the hospital bed. Lu Sangsang was still unconscious after being rescued. Afraid of waking her, Guo Yi went outside to answer the phone and told Lu Huan everything that had happened. She cried as she said, "You know, this child can't talk things out properly. She just can't think straight."
Lu Huan comforted her over the phone, "Mom, don't cry. Didn't the doctor say Sangsang is fine?"
