Chapter 218 Is he dead?
When Lin Xi woke up, only Bai Tiantian and Song Xu were left by her side.
She opened her eyes, looked at the two of them, and, recalling the situation before she fainted, asked, "Where is Lu Yunqi?"
Song Xu was speechless. "Xi Xi, you're being a little too concerned about Lu Yunqi."
“Lu Yunqi has been discharged from the hospital,” Bai Tiantian was still happy to share gossip with Lin Xi. “She left wearing a man’s coat and slippers. Her left cheek was unrecognizable, extremely swollen.”
Lin Xi was stunned. "How could this be?"
This was completely different from what she had expected. She just wanted to know who Lu Zhentao favored more, but she never expected Lu Zhentao to hit Lu Yunqi.
Wasn't he supposed to dote on Lu Yunqi? Was he just putting on an act for her? Even so, he shouldn't have been so ruthless; he hit her harder than she had.
“Yeah, I’m wondering about that too,” Bai Tiantian clicked her tongue twice. “Lu Yunqi was stunned by that slap, and after you fainted, Lu Zhentao was very nervous. He was the one who carried you back to the ward.”
"He carried me back?" Lin Xi rubbed her dizzy head. "How long was I dizzy?"
“It’s been almost an hour,” Song Xu patted her head. “Does your head hurt? The doctor said that you were dizzy for a longer time this time because of your head injury.”
An hour is quite a long time. Lin Xi was still thinking about Lu Zhentao and his daughter Lu Yunqi. What happened today was somewhat unexpected.
Lin Xi looked up at Song Xu, but because Bai Tiantian was still there, she didn't dare ask Song Xu's opinion. "It doesn't hurt much anymore."
"Xi Xi," Bai Tiantian glanced at Song Xu and then whispered, "Lu Yunzhou came when you were unconscious."
"Brother Yunzhou is here too?" Lin Xi was a little worried when she heard that Lu Yunzhou had also come, fearing that Lu Zhentao might have noticed something amiss.
Song Xu hummed in agreement, "They left with Lu Zhentao."
Seeing that Song Xu didn't react much, Lin Xi felt relieved.
"Xi Xi, there's something else I forgot to tell you," Bai Tiantian said with a smile. "The school has issued a notice that Xiang Lei will be expelled. This time, she has absolutely no chance."
"I wonder if the Xiang family will cause trouble for Sister Jiang Yan," Lin Xi sighed. "Sister Jiang Yan is really unlucky to have such relatives."
“Who can argue with that?” Bai Tiantian nodded. “But Sister Jiang Yan has Brother Jingming, and Brother Jingming will help her solve the problem.”
Song Xu glanced at the time. Why hadn't his brother come to pick up Bai Tiantian yet? With her around, Xi Xi didn't have time to pay attention to him.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear; Song Chen arrived at noon.
"How are you feeling today, Xixi?" Song Chen asked with concern.
"It's nothing," Lin Xi said, and quickly asked Song Chen, "Brother, have you visited Grandma these past two days?"
“I went, and I lied to her and said you went out to relax,” Song Chen said. “You can send some pictures of scenery to Grandma so she won’t worry about you.”
“Okay,” Lin Xi nodded. “You and Tian Tian go have lunch. Song Xu is fine here.”
"Yeah, brother, you should go and enjoy some alone time with your wife." Song Xu pushed Song Chen and Bai Tiantian away.
The ward finally quieted down. Song Xu's face was much less swollen, and the bruises had faded, making him look much better.
Lin Xi pulled Song Xu close and kissed his left cheek. "Does your face still hurt?"
Song Xu brought his right cheek close to Lin Xi's mouth as well, "Give me a kiss here too, it won't hurt anymore after that."
Lin Xi smiled and kissed him twice. "Are you fully recovered?"
"Not yet, this is how it should be." After saying that, Song Xu kissed Lin Xi's delicate lips and gently sucked on them.
These past few days have felt like an eternity for Song Xu; it seems like it's been ages since he's been intimate with Lin Xi.
As they kissed, Song Xu lost control, and his hand slipped inside Lin Xi's hospital gown...
Lin Xi was afraid that Song Xu might do something in the ward, so she held Song Xu's hand and gently pushed him away with her other hand, scolding him angrily, "What are you doing? Can't you calm down?"
"What are you afraid of?" Song Xu put his arm around Lin Xi's waist and pulled her into his arms. "I'll just lock the door. Besides, who would come over in the middle of the day?"
"Stop messing around," Lin Xi really wanted to slap him across the face. If Song Xu's family saw this, how would she have any face left? "If you dare to touch me, I'll call my brother and have him beat you up again."
“I’m your own husband,” Song Xu said, his composure returning immediately. “You’ve been too cruel to me.”
“I just wanted you to calm down,” Lin Xi thought of Lu Yunzhou and took out her phone. “I need to ask my brother what’s going on between Lu Zhentao and Lu Yunqi.”
Song Xu was still holding Lin Xi, watching her send messages to Lu Yunzhou. He was quite curious as well.
Lin Xi sent Lu Yunzhou a long message, to which Lu Yunzhou replied with only a few words: 【Suspected not biological child, I'm investigating.】
Lin Xi and Song Xu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock. Lu Yunqi wasn't Lu Zhentao's biological son?
This is so interesting!
Lu Yunzhou sat in his office, put down his phone, and said that he had sent someone to follow Lu Zhentao. He only knew that Lu Zhentao had gone to the suburbs, but there were too few cars on the road to continue following him, otherwise it would be too easy to be discovered.
In the suburbs, Lu Yunzhou took a drag of his cigarette. He knew that Lu Zhentao had a base in the suburbs, but he had never let him go there, much less let him touch it.
It was definitely not a good place, and Lu Zhentao was protecting him, so he hardly let him touch anything illegal.
But why did Lu Zhentao take Lu Yunqi there? Even if she wasn't his biological daughter, she had been raised by his side for eighteen years. The feelings couldn't just disappear like that.
Thinking back to the slap Lu Zhentao gave Lu Yunqi in the hospital room, it was truly devoid of any emotion.
Lu Yunzhou felt that he had underestimated his father's ruthlessness.
As it was getting dark, Lu Yunzhou received news that Lu Zhentao had returned from the suburbs, but he was alone; Lu Yunqi had not come back with him.
Lu Yunzhou gasped. Was he dead?
Just as he was lamenting, the bar manager called him, "Boss, something's happened at the bar."
Lu Yunzhou glanced at the time; it had only been open for an hour, not even peak hours yet. "What could possibly happen at this hour?"
"A new girl broke a customer's bone," the bar manager said.
Lu Yunzhou touched his forehead. "What kind of girl is so capable? Did you hire a female security guard?"
“She wasn’t a security guard,” the bar manager said, almost in tears. “She came to apply for a drink promotion job. I thought she was pretty, so I hired her. Who knew that on her first day of work she would beat up a customer, and beat him up pretty badly. The customer has already called the police, and they’re coming soon.”
Lu Yunzhou wasn't afraid of the police coming. His bar was operating legally and there was nothing shady going on. However, if the incident of injuring someone got out of hand, it would affect his business. "I'll be right there. You can calm the customer down and offer some compensation."
"Okay, boss."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yunzhou drove to the bar.
The police had just arrived when Lu Yunzhou followed and saw the parties involved: a middle-aged man lying on the ground, and a beautiful young woman who looked resentful.
