In the middle of the night, when I was sleeping on the edge of the hospital bed, it seemed as if dry fingers were touching my face.
"Fool, you believe anyone who lies to you."
“Hmm…”
I slapped the hand away and turned over, then belatedly realized I was caring for a patient. I suddenly raised my head and asked blankly, "What did you just say? Are you feeling unwell?"
All he saw was Fu Qichuan's tightly closed eyes and long breathing.
Are you hallucinating?
I didn't think much about it. I just thought that I was scared by what happened today, my nerves were a little tense, and I fell asleep again in a daze.
…
The next morning, Qin Ze specially sent over breakfast tea from an old Cantonese restaurant.
It suits Fu Qichuan's taste.
But he only took a few bites before going off to handle official business.
Qin Ze brought not only breakfast, but also a large stack of documents to be processed. Being the president of the Fu Group wasn't easy either.
While eating breakfast, I glanced at him from time to time.
The warm winter sun shone in, and the man was enveloped in a layer of soft light. His profile was perfect, with a pair of glasses on his high nose bridge and his thin lips slightly pursed.
I have to say that this man is quite pleasing to the eye in terms of appearance.
It would be better if he wasn't a scumbag.
After breakfast, Uncle Qi called me and asked me when would be a good time to send me the fingerprint identification.
I immediately said, "For now, let's go to Linjiang Garden."
Although I took a shower in the ward last night, I didn’t have a change of clothes, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
I just went back to take a fresh shower and change clothes.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Qichuan glanced over and asked, "Leaving again?"
"I'll be back."
I smiled softly, "I'll have a surprise for you when I get back."
This way, I won’t have to worry about what happens next with Ren Fujinan.
The day after tomorrow, she will have to leave whether she wants to or not.
After sending her away, the relationship between Fu Qichuan and I will be completely severed.
He raised an eyebrow, "What surprise?"
"You'll know when you come back."
After saying that, I quickly left the hospital.
He had just changed the medicine in the morning, and with Qin Ze staying in the ward, there was nothing to worry about.
I walked to the side of the road and was waiting for the online taxi to come when a black Mercedes slowly stopped in front of me.
After yesterday’s experience, I almost subconsciously wanted to run!
"Ms. Ruan."
The car window was rolled down, but the voice that rang was that of a mature woman dressed in a simple way, with a slightly dark lipstick, and she looked very calm and mature.
About thirty years old.
I was stunned. "You are? How do you know who I am?"
"I'm Lu Shijing, Lu Shiyan's sister."
She smiled slightly, "A little bit, I need to talk to Miss Ruan in private."
Her facial features vaguely resembled Lu Shiyan.
However, I have never heard Lu Shiyan mention that he has a sister before.
I no longer dare to get on any car casually, "You and him..."
"He always wears a red string on his wrist, from childhood to adulthood, even when bathing. You must have been talking to him on the phone before you left yesterday."
Lu Shijing said this easily.
“…”
I didn't say anything else and got into the car.
After getting in the car, she simply said in a calm voice, "Take Miss Ruan somewhere."
"I hope it's not a murder." I said.
The car weaved through the hustle and bustle of traffic and finally drove into a quiet neighborhood just like the Fu family's old house.
It is also a famous wealthy area in Jiangcheng.
The wealth of the Fu family is known to everyone.
But the Lu family seemed to prefer a less conspicuous kind of wealth, and it was unknown how much of a gap there was between them and the Fu family.
The car slowly stopped in front of a magnificent house, and the driver got out first to open the door for us.
Lu Shijing, wearing a pair of black kitten heels, led me into the door. Her back was straight and you could tell she had been well-educated since childhood.
"Actually, I brought Miss Ruan here today because I have a request."
"What?"
"You'll know when you go and see it."
Hearing this, I was a little confused, but I didn't ask any further questions.
I don't seem to have ever been fond of curiosity.
However, when she led me through the garden and saw the view of the ancestral hall through a glass, I was completely stunned.
Lu Shiyan knelt on the floor, the wound on his back was shocking, but there was no pain or anger on his face, just calm, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
The middle-aged lady gritted her teeth in anger and lashed him with the whip again, "Lu Shiyan, don't think I can't do anything to you now! If you die, I can just adopt someone else and still inherit the Lu family!"
"Then go ahead."
Lu Shiyan didn't move at all, gritting his teeth and enduring it, his tone seemed respectful but also disdainful.
I felt a slight pain in my back. When I wanted to go over, Lu Shijing stopped me. I could only ask hesitantly, "Then, that's his... mother?"
But I remember that he clearly told me that his mother had passed away!
"That's my mother."
Lu Shijing seemed to have long been accustomed to this scene. She was as calm as Lu Shiyan, and her voice was light. "He has never used any power of the Lu family in these years. It was not until last night, for your sake, that he spoke to my mother and led people to teach Zhou Hai and the others a lesson."
"What?"
I was suddenly confused.
Last night, after I was kidnapped, I had no contact with Lu Shiyan.
Why……
Lu Shijing said, "Our Lu family has been out of the quagmire for many years, but what he did last night has brought us back to the pre-liberation era."
She spoke vaguely, but I guessed it roughly.
The Lu family has never had any overt business in Jiangcheng. In the early years, these people were either involved in politics or organized crime.
From her words, the answer was obvious.
Lu Shijing spoke again slowly, "However, this is also what my mother likes. She has always been dissatisfied with the status quo, but this incident just gave her a reason to force Xiaoyan to marry."
"Marriage?"
I was stunned for a moment.
Anyone who becomes the wife of a gentle and refined man like Lu Shiyan should be very happy.
But, doesn't he have someone he likes?
Lu Shijing glanced at me with calm eyes, "Yes, a marriage. But he doesn't want to, you should have guessed it."
"Um."
I nodded, subconsciously speaking for Lu Shiyan, "He has someone he likes. Even though it's an arranged marriage, it's still a marriage between two people, so it's better if both parties are willing."
Besides, how could I possibly compromise on an arranged marriage when I've been in love with someone for twenty years?
The gentler a person is on a daily basis, the more persistent he or she becomes when he or she insists on something.
"you……"
Lu Shijing frowned slightly, "I wonder who he likes?"
"have no idea."
I thought she wanted to ask me something, "He only told me there was someone, but he didn't tell me who it was."
"What if I want you to help persuade him and let him go through with the marriage with peace of mind?"
Lu Shijing hesitated and said, "Miss Ruan, my mother is not a good-tempered person. If he continues like this, nothing good will happen to him."
