Lu Huan was genuinely surprised that Lu Sangsang was so fragile that she attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills, and she shuddered inexplicably.
They're still sisters in name, so I have to go and see them.
Gu Zhendong was not in a good mood about her going. Lu Huan said, "If I really don't go, it will hurt my feelings. She's already upset enough!"
Regardless of how Lu Sangsang treated her, Guo Yi was still very good to her daughter.
Gu Zhendong frowned. "I'll go with you."
"Don't you have a meeting this morning? I can go by myself, nothing will happen!"
Seeing Gu Zhendong's reluctant expression, Lu Huan was both amused and exasperated. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. Lu Sangsang has already committed suicide and been hospitalized, so she definitely can't harm me."
After Lu Huan repeatedly assured Gu Zhendong that she would be safe and sound, Gu Zhendong finally let her pass.
Immediately, Lu Huan regretted it.
A number of paparazzi were staking out the entrance, probably all wanting to secretly photograph Lu Sangsang's true condition, so the entrance to the ward was blocked off.
Fortunately, Lu Huan was dressed very casually, with a mask covering most of his face, and walked inside like an ordinary person.
Guo Yi was standing guard at the door. As soon as she saw someone, she waved to her and said, "Here."
This loud shout immediately attracted the attention of others. Lu Huan cursed under his breath and rushed over.
Lu Sangsang has regained consciousness after undergoing gastric lavage, but her face is still a little pale, which is quite distressing to see.
Upon seeing Lu Huan arrive, she burst into genuine tears, making it impossible to tell if she was truly crying.
Before she came, Gu Zhendong specifically told her not to be fooled by Lu Sangsang's pitiful appearance, but she insisted that it was impossible.
But now, looking at her, she realized she had overestimated herself. Lu Sangsang was clearly a high-level white lotus, someone she couldn't possibly discern at her level. She should have brought Gu Zhendong with her.
Lu Sangsang is now a sickly beauty, already endearing, and with her tearful face, she seems to have suffered a great injustice, making her even more pitiful.
Guo Yi felt most distressed when Lu Sangsang cried, and quickly comforted her, "Okay, stop crying!"
Lu Sangsang cried so hard she could hardly breathe, her eyes brimming with tears. "Sister, I'm so sorry. This has caused you a lot of trouble. It's all my fault. Can you forgive me?"
Lu Huan stood to the side, feeling that if she dared to say she wouldn't forgive, Lu Sangsang would definitely cry herself to death in front of her.
For whatever reason, Lu Huan handed her a tissue, saying, "If you cry too much, your beautiful eyes won't look good!"
Perhaps it was Lu Huan handing her a tissue that gave Lu Sangsang the illusion that she had forgiven her. "Sister, does that mean you're not angry with me anymore?"
Don't think that just because you attempted suicide by overdosing on pills, you can pretend that pushing me never happened.
Lu Huan pursed her lips, and before she could answer, Guo Yi hurriedly replied for her, "Your sister isn't a petty person, how could she possibly be angry with you!"
"Really?" Guo Yi seemed a little skeptical, then turned back to look at Lu Huan with anticipation and nervousness.
Lu Huan frowned slightly. How could she possibly say this in front of Guo Yi?
If she said it, how could that be? If Lu Sangsang then had a mental breakdown and attempted suicide by overdosing on pills, wouldn't the blame be firmly placed on her head? But if she said it and wasn't angry, she wouldn't feel comfortable.
Guo Yi subtly nudged her waist, signaling her to quickly nod and agree.
Lu Huan glanced at her; her eyes were still swollen, and her eyes were bloodshot. Lu Huan couldn't bear to let Guo Yi continue to be sad, so she forced a smile and said, "I'm not angry anymore!"
Hearing Lu Huan say that she wasn't angry, Lu Sangsang's tense expression relaxed, and she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, happily saying, "That's great, sister, we're still best friends!"
"hehe!"
Lu Huan chuckled twice to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Thinking to myself: Who said you're my best friend?!
Lu Huan just came to check on Lu Sangsang and was happy that she was alright.
She made an excuse that she had to go to school and hurriedly left.
Getting in is easy, but getting out is a problem.
The entrance was packed with media reporters; almost everyone recognized Guo Yi after her outburst.
Although Lu Huan wasn't in the entertainment industry, anyone who did a little research would know what she looked like and would recognize her as the legendary Lu Huan. As soon as she appeared, everyone swarmed around her, asking, "Miss Lu, hello, did your sister commit suicide?"
"Hello, have you ever dated Chu Jun before?"
"Did Lu Sangsang steal your boyfriend, which caused you and your sister to fall out..."
"Are you really an adopted child from outside the Lu family?"
"..."
As soon as Lu Huan came out, a group of people seized the opportunity and rushed forward, almost pressing microphones and cell phones to her face. Lu Huan had never experienced this situation before and was startled.
Fortunately, Guo Yi reacted quickly and grabbed her arm, pulling her back into the ward. She gritted her teeth in anger: "These reporters have been waiting at the hospital entrance since last night, and the number of them hasn't decreased at all!"
These reporters are utterly unethical. They told us not to take pictures, but they still filmed all the way, spreading the photos and videos all over the internet, causing all sorts of rumors to circulate. Guo Yi was so angry that she didn't sleep a wink all night.
The trending topic had been suppressed, but Lu Zhong's financial resources and influence were no match for Chu Jun and Gu Zhendong. Just when he had managed to suppress the previous wave of videos, another one popped up, which made Lu Zhong so angry that he couldn't sleep well and threw a huge tantrum at the company early in the morning.
Lu Huan didn't want to stay in the same space as Lu Sangsang all the time. After looking at her phone for a while, Gu Zhendong called to ask how things were going.
Lu Huan saw his call as if she had seen a savior. "Don't even mention it, there's a bunch of reporters at the door, I can't even leave!"
Since Gu Zhendong himself couldn't get away, he sent someone over.
Not long after, all the reporters at the entrance were cleared out, and Gu Zhendong called again: "Alright, you can go to school now!"
Lu Huan tentatively approached the door, listened to the noise, and it seemed that it was indeed not as noisy as before. When he pushed the door open, he saw several bodyguards in black standing at the door. They were all burly and looked like gangsters.
Lu Huan was intimidated by the aura emanating from them and shrank back. Then she heard the men in black shout in unison, "Greetings, Madam!"
This loud shout made Lu Huan feel that not only did they seem like gangsters, but he did too.
Lu Huan chuckled and asked hesitantly, "Were you sent by Gu Zhendong?"
One of the men, who was in the lead, took off his sunglasses, looked down at the petite woman in front of him, and said solemnly, "We are sent by President Gu to protect you, Madam. My name is Pang Zhe."
Lu Huan: ...Hehe, this is too exaggerated!
These people had never met Lu Huan before. They had assumed that the woman who could marry President Gu must be a powerful and strong woman, but they never expected that she would be such a slender and weak girl in front of them.
The man at the head of the group treated Lu Huan with such respect that it made others envious.
This "other person" naturally refers to Lu Sangsang.
Clutching the corner of the blanket, she pretended to be concerned about Lu Huan, "Sister, the hospital is really too chaotic. You should go back quickly so your brother-in-law won't worry."
Before leaving, Lu Huan said a few more words to Guo Yi before departing.
The media reporters inside the hospital were all cleared away by several men in black, and even those standing to the side dared not easily approach Lu Huan for an interview.
After all, they had just experienced the terror of these men.
They also knew in their hearts that Lu Huan's backer must be very powerful, someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Lu Huan got into the car without any problems and left the hospital.
These people are so responsible and dedicated, and they even planned to personally escort Lu Huan to the classroom door. How can that be allowed!
Judging by this, people might think her boyfriend is a mafia boss!
Lu Huan quickly stopped them, "Stop! You don't need to come to school with me!"
The leading man disagreed and was about to retort, "But President Gu said we should take good care of Madam's safety..."
"I'm in class, not fighting, what danger could there be!" Lu Huan hurriedly interrupted him, "You guys can go back!"
If this group of people went to class with her, would the teacher standing on the podium still dare to speak, and how many students would dare to listen attentively?
The man in the lead seemed to be going along with Gu Zhendong's wishes, but Lu Huan suddenly frowned. "Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want me to call Gu Zhendong and have him talk to you?"
Her words didn't work; it had to be Gu Zhendong who spoke.
"Madam, that's not what I meant..."
"Then you should all go back now, you don't need to follow me!"
Lu Huan waved impatiently, and before the other person could react, she pushed open the car door and ran out of the car at lightning speed.
The others all looked at their leader, waiting for his reply: should they follow or not?
The man pondered for a moment, then instructed his men to park the car in an inconspicuous spot near the school.
Lu Huan rushed into the campus, and when he saw that they hadn't followed, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.
The first class hadn't ended yet when Lu Huan arrived half an hour late. The teacher didn't say anything and just let her sit down.
Lu Huan rarely skips her classes, and given her strong foundation, even the strictest teachers are willing to turn a blind eye to her mistakes.
Lu Huan wasn't really in the mood for class; she noticed that her classmates kept turning around to look at her.
At first, she thought it was just her imagination, but as time went on, she realized it was true.
Whenever she looked over, these people would nonchalantly avoid her gaze.
Soon, the class ended.
After class, Chu Han came to find her to have lunch together. It was one thing for everyone to look at her in class, but even when she was walking on the street, a group of people would stare at her.
Lu Huan wasn't a big star, so she naturally wasn't used to being stared at. She felt uncomfortable all over and also a little strange.
Why were they looking at me like that?
Chu Han explained, "What else could it be? It must be because of Lu Sangsang!"
A question mark appeared on Lu Huan's face. What did Lu Sangsang's matter have to do with her?
Chu Han sighed helplessly, "How come this seemingly smart little brain always fails at crucial moments!"
If you don't want to talk, then don't. Instead, you're criticizing her for not being smart enough. Lu Huan rolled her eyes at you.
Chu Han shook her head in a low voice: "I really envy you being so well protected by your husband, you don't know anything about it!"
"Um?"
"Why would Lu Sangsang, who was perfectly fine, try to commit suicide by overdosing on pills? She claimed to be sick, but do you think everyone believed that? Everyone's been speculating behind her back. Plus, we didn't get along with Lu Sangsang before, so people probably think of you as the bad older sister who deliberately bullied Lu Sangsang. Lu Sangsang suffered too much injustice and couldn't bear it anymore, so she deliberately overdosed on sleeping pills to fake suicide. Look at her now, she's still alive and well!"
Chu Han learned from Lu Huan early in the morning that Lu Sangsang had attempted suicide by overdosing on pills. She didn't believe that Lu Sangsang really wanted to commit suicide; she was sure that Lu Sangsang had set a trap and was waiting for someone to jump into it.
Lu Huan is just a simple person!
After hearing Chu Han's analysis, Lu Huan looked incredulous: "That's impossible, isn't it?"
"Why is it impossible? Think about it, her suicide will surely garner a lot of sympathy, right? If you sympathize with her, your husband will let her go. If Chu Jun sympathizes with her, he might even continue the engagement. And those uninformed netizens will also feel sympathy for her and become fans. She has resolved the crisis and achieved success in both her career and marriage!"
Thinking about it carefully, what Chu Han said was not an exaggeration at all.
She didn't know what others thought, but what she herself thought was exactly the same as what Chu Han had said.
Lu Sangsang's public image has always been that of a gentle and weak girl. Who would have thought that she would use such a ruthless method to treat herself in order to salvage the situation?
Chu Han pouted, "Believe it or not, you'll find out when the time comes!"
Although Lu Huan said he didn't believe it, he actually believed it to a large extent in his heart.
Whether it's Lu Sangsang's character in the original book or the Lu Sangsang she's learned about these past few days, she's not a simple-minded person.
She is a very goal-oriented person, and sometimes she is willing to be ruthless to herself in order to achieve her goals.
Lu Sangsang is making trouble for herself, causing chaos for everyone else.
Chu Han gritted her teeth in anger: "She really has ill intentions!"
There were people all around, and Lu Huan reminded her, "You should at least keep your voice down, so that no one can hear you!"
"So what if she heard it? Do you think I'm afraid of her?" Chu Han said, hands on her hips. "I haven't even settled accounts with her yet. Doesn't she know who she is? She actually wants to marry my brother. Keep dreaming!"
Lu Huan: ...
At first, Lu Huan left without saying a word so as not to ruin the relationship between the male and female leads, hoping that the two of them would get married as soon as possible so that there would be no more trouble. But now it seems that if Lu Sangsang really marries Chu Jun, given Chu Han's personality, the entire Chu family will be thrown into chaos by the two of them.
Chu Han is a straightforward person, and she definitely can't outwit the cunning Lu Sangsang. She'll surely suffer a lot in the end.
Even if Lu Huan himself is innocent and has nothing to do with Lu Sangsang's affairs, uninformed bystanders may not think so.
The way they were looking at Lu Huan made her uncomfortable, so she abandoned her plan to eat in the cafeteria and went to Yan Shi's place with Chu Han instead.
As they walked, Chu Han kept complaining about Lu Sangsang. When she saw Yan Shi, she had to complain about her again, which made Lu Huan both laugh and cry. "What if she really can't think straight and wants to commit suicide?"
"Only a fool would believe that!"
"..." She's not stupid!
Upon hearing this, Yan Shi said, "If she really did this on purpose to show everyone, it shows that she is indeed very cunning. You two should stay away from her in the future."
Lu Sangsang is now a dangerous bomb, the kind that could explode at any moment.
Chu Han spat, "Do you think I want to play with her? She's the one who's throwing herself at my brother. It makes me so angry just thinking about it. And she's still pretending to be innocent in front of my brother!"
No sooner had she made it to the trending topics than Lu Sangsang called her brother crying, saying that she hadn't done any of it, that she knew nothing about it, and kept apologizing.
Despite her manipulative tone, her brother didn't even notice. Instead, he comforted her on the phone and even went to the hospital to visit her after learning about her accident.
Anyway, her brother is beyond saving. He can do whatever he wants, and she can't be bothered to care anymore.
"Anyway, my brother is a complete idiot. He has so many good girls to choose from, but he insists on having someone like Lu Sangsang!" Chu Han was so angry that she could barely eat her meal.
Lu Huan poured her a glass of water. "Alright, you've talked so much, even if you don't get a sore throat, your mouth must be dry. Have some water!"
Chu Han took the water and gulped down several mouthfuls, then snorted coldly, "If my brother dares to marry her, I'll sever all ties with him!"
Lu Huan thought that being pointed at and gossiped about at school was bad enough, but there were even more troublesome things to come.
As she walked along the usual path, she saw two familiar figures hurrying toward her.
The other person had a bright, fawning smile on their face and immediately called out "Huanhuan" enthusiastically. Lu Huan came back to her senses and asked, "What are you doing here?"
These two people were none other than the Ye family mother and daughter.
Having not seen the two for some time, Lu Huan glanced at the mother and daughter. Ye's mother seemed no different from when he had met her before, but Ye Ran had changed quite a bit.
She still wore the same unconventional outfit, but the clothes were no longer designer brands, the designer bags she used to carry were gone, and some of her valuable jewelry was also gone.
As the saying goes, no one visits a temple without a reason. The fact that this mother and daughter dared to come to her must mean they needed something from her.
Lu Huan curled her lips into a smile. "Did you need something?"
"It's nothing serious, I just thought that we haven't seen each other for so long, and I really missed you, so I wanted to come to the school to see you." Ye's mother chuckled dryly, her eyes darting around at Lu Huan, but she was really unsure of what to do.
That brat Lu Sangsang said that although Lu Huan has moved out of the Lu family, she married a man who is richer and more powerful than the Lu family. The Ye family can ask Lu Huan for any amount of money they want, because no matter how much money they ask for, it is just a drop in the ocean for Lu Huan.
The mother and daughter were truly desperate, otherwise they wouldn't have come to Lu Huan.
Ye's mother said she missed her?
Lu Huan chuckled coldly. If she really wanted her daughter, she would have come knocking on her door long ago. Why would she have waited until now?
Let her think about why the two of them came to her; they probably didn't have enough money!
The Ye family in the original book were the same. Because they were broke, they shamelessly asked Lu Sangsang for money. At that time, Lu Sangsang's career was booming, and she didn't want to give this greedy family a single penny, so she blocked them.
Unexpectedly, this family shamelessly approached the media, accusing Lu Sangsang of being immoral and unwilling to support her parents after becoming famous and making money, which caused quite a stir at the time.
