Shen Xingzhi closed the door and sat on the floor. She had never felt so helpless.
She was too embarrassed to complain to Rong Yan anymore, since Rong Yan was in dire straits herself.
Shen Xingzhi calmed herself down and bought a plane ticket.
In the afternoon, Rong Yan was worried about her best friend, so she called her and learned that her best friend was no longer in Tiancheng.
"Fu Jingsheng, our lives are completely out of sync." Rong Yan felt even more guilty.
Fu Jingsheng leaned against the balcony railing: "Rong Yan, I feel like I'm a burden to you."
Both of them took responsibility, then looked at each other and smiled, saying in unison, "We can always start over."
In the afternoon, Fu Jingsheng and the others went to Liangcheng to meet up with their mother.
All those negative news stories were put to the back of my mind.
At the Lu Mansion, Liang Jia returns home after being discharged from the hospital.
Lu Kai carried the woman's luggage to the master bedroom.
Liang Jia stood outside the door, hesitant to go in.
Liang Jia had passed through this room countless times, and the threshold was the dividing line. She had never crossed that line; the woman was prepared never to go in again.
"Sir, you?"
"Come in." After putting away his luggage, Lu Kai went back and took Liang Jia's hand. "You'll live here with me from now on."
Liang Jia then saw the entire master bedroom: a black bed, black cabinets, a black carpet, and black curtains, creating a so oppressive atmosphere.
Lu Kai drew back the curtains, and the blinding sunlight streamed in. The man instinctively covered his eyes and backed away.
Liang Jia leaned against the bedside, her eyes moist. She threw herself into the man's arms: "Sir, am I dreaming? Hit me and see."
After saying that, she grabbed the man's hand and brought it to her face.
Lu Kai gently cupped the woman's cheeks: "What are you hitting? Really, look, we can see the top of Cloud City from here. Jiajia, I should have let you in a long time ago."
Liang Jia put her arm around Lu Kai's waist: "It's not too late now, but sir, you won't be safe from now on."
"I feel safest when you're here, Jiajia. I don't want to wait any longer. Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
"Huh?" Liang Jia's mouth dropped open. "Sir, I hope you marry me because you love me, not because you're touched, or because you're in a good mood, and then suddenly say this."
"Am I being greedy?" Liang Jia realized after saying that she had said before that even if Lu Kai didn't love her, she would still be with Lu Kai, and now that her dream was about to come true, why was she making other demands?
The man smoothed her bangs: "I've thought about it seriously. It's not because I'm moved, nor because I'm in a good mood. I think it's love."
Liang Jia was even more moved, and she pressed her lips to Lu Kai's.
The nanny came to change the sheets and, seeing the two kissing, awkwardly fled the scene.
Fearing that Lu Kai might change his mind, Liang Jia pulled the man and insisted on having sex in the master bedroom first.
After enduring several days of hunger, Lu Kai was starving.
He carried Liang Jia to the sofa and kicked the bedroom door shut.
“Sir, we can’t be too violent,” Liang Jia said as she watched Lu Kai pull off his belt.
The man tossed aside his belt, his fingers lightly tracing the woman's cheek. His lips slowly descended, sliding down like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Liang Jia leaned back on the sofa and put her hands around the man's shoulders: "Sir, you can be a little heavier."
"Lu Kai, increase your efforts."
The room was filled with the sound of chanting.
The police car was parked outside the door. The police officers, having received a report, ignored the maid's attempts to stop them and went upstairs.
The man, who was halfway through what he was doing, was disturbed by the urgent knocking on the door. He pulled up his clothes and opened the door.
The policeman turned away awkwardly: "Put your clothes on and come with us."
Lu Kai was stunned.
After the police showed their identification, the man's vision went black. Liang Jia shouted after him, but the police car carrying Lu Kai drove further and further away.
Ye Jianming's team found evidence of Lu Kai's crimes just before Fu Jingsheng boarded the plane. With Fu Jingsheng's consent, they reported the case to the police.
Fu Jingsheng and Rong Yan canceled their trip to cooperate with the investigation.
Lu Kai initially denied it, but faced with irrefutable evidence, the man had no choice but to remain silent and call his lawyer.
At the Lu Mansion, Liang Jia wept bitterly.
Until the lawyer called.
Liang Jia knew him, and the woman confessed everything. The evidence was conclusive, and the lawyer didn't have much of a chance of winning.
Liang Jia finally made a decision: she would help Lu Kai get convicted. However, the lawyer said that all the evidence the other side found pointed to Lu Kai, and that Liang Jia would only get herself implicated if she did this. Lu Kai said he would definitely hold her tight.
Unexpectedly, Lu Kai wanted to save himself at the critical moment. Liang Jia immediately decided that if Lu Kai could not come back, she would finish what she was going to do and die together with Fu Jingsheng's children.
Upon learning that the Fu family business was on the verge of dissolution, and that another group of people were fueling the flames, some netizens felt sorry for Fu Jingsheng.
The comments section showed two extremes.
Some people think Lu Kai's actions were understandable, while others think the Fu family did nothing wrong, that they didn't mistreat anyone, and that they shouldn't retaliate out of greed.
The two groups even started hurling insults at each other.
Rong Yan and Ye Jianming were chatting in the garden.
The clinic, which had been subjected to online harassment for a day, saw a turnaround, with those who had insulted the clinic and its doctors apologizing in the comments section.
Everyone is asking when the clinic will reopen, as they want to continue seeing patients.
Rong Yan looked at those comments and found them somewhat ironic. Every doctor in the clinic wanted to heal and save lives, and there were indeed people like Liang Jia, but Liang Jia only targeted Fu Jingsheng and did not reveal any patient information.
How could those people slander doctors like that? After the incident was exposed, it wasn't just Shen Xingzhi who was besieged, but also the others who were on duty that night. They worked diligently but were insulted like that; how disappointed they must have been.
Rong Yan called Shen Xingzhi. The woman in another city had also seen the news. Rong Yan said that if she didn't want to go back to work right away, she could rest for a few more days. The same applied to other doctors.
Shen Xingzhi immediately relayed Rong Yan's words in the group chat, and said that if anyone felt uncomfortable, they could apply for a half-month extended leave, with their salaries still paid.
Unexpectedly, upon learning that the clinic could resume operations immediately, everyone unanimously expressed their willingness to return to work right away. Some people slandered them, but others supported them. Even when they were subjected to cyberbullying, only a small number of people might support them. In order to live up to the trust of these few people, they could not slack off.
Shen Xingzhi was moved and decided to end her vacation and return to Tiancheng the next day to fight alongside everyone.
Ye Jianming and his group didn't return to Yushui Bay until very late.
Rong Yan and her husband sat on the stargazing observation deck.
Fu Jingsheng put his arm around the woman's waist: "Wife, do you feel like you just had a scare? The clinic being implicated was indeed my fault. Fortunately, the truth has come out. Actually, I already guessed it was all because of me. I think the one who really brought misfortune to this family is me, so..."
"So, you thought about hiding?" Rong Yan immediately understood the meaning behind her husband's words. "Fu Jingsheng, I'm angry."
The woman had her arms crossed in front of her chest and her head turned to the other side. No wonder Fu Jingsheng said those things before boarding the plane today; he was planning to hide in that unfamiliar city.
Fu Jingsheng tried to coax his wife gently, but Rong Yan completely ignored him, so the man had to resort to his ultimate move.
