Zhou Wanting's memory still lingered on the time when Lu Yihan came to see her and said they wanted to get engaged, so when she saw Su Le now, she was completely stunned, suspecting that she had not just slept for a night, but had slept for a year.
After she finished speaking, she looked Su Le up and down, which made Su Le a little nervous and uncomfortable. She whispered, "Auntie, Lan Shuang has regretted the engagement, and Brother Han is with me now."
"Breaking off the engagement?" Zhou Wanting asked in disbelief. "How could she suddenly change her mind? What kind of person is she?"
Her voice suddenly became sharp, and the patients and their families in the two beds next to her looked over. Lu Yihan immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He stood up and pulled up the curtains on both sides, whispering, "Mom, you're not feeling well. Don't get excited. It's not what you think."
Zhou Wanting frowned: "What's going on? Explain it to me!"
Su Le was at a loss when he saw this, and Lu Yihan glared at him. He pulled Su Le up and said, "I'll take Su Le back first, and I'll talk to you when I come back."
Zhou Wanting didn't say anything, just looked at Su Le, obviously not very satisfied.
Su Le felt uncomfortable. After leaving the hospital, he asked directly, "Is your mother very dissatisfied with me? Why is she so unhappy?"
"I haven't asked you yet, why are you saying all this in front of my mother? You saw how she looks, her health is so poor that she could fall over with a gust of wind, and you still want to talk about me breaking off the engagement. Aren't you afraid of making her mad?"
"I... am I too embarrassed to be seen in public? I can't even tell you that I'm with you?"
"That's not what I meant!" Lu Yihan suddenly felt exhausted. He waved his hand and said, "It's easy to get a taxi here. You can go back by yourself later. I don't want to argue with you now. Let's talk about it after we calm down."
Then he turned and left.
Su Le stood there with his eyes wide open, unable to believe that he had abandoned him like that. But after waiting for a long time, Lu Yihan still didn't come back. Su Le finally faced the reality and left with red eyes.
…
After Lu Yihan returned to the ward, he met the gazes of the people around him and sat down beside the bed with a stern face.
Zhou Wanting's face became even more haggard. "You can't be like your father, a playboy. I haven't even met Lan Shuang yet, and you've brought another one here. Which one do you like?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Lu Yihan held Zhou Wanting's hand and said earnestly, "Mom, Su Le and I have been together for a long time. I never told Lan Shuang or you."
"What?"
Zhou Wanting was shocked: "What do you mean? Are you playing both sides?"
Lu Yihan simply recounted how he and Lan Shuang got together, and how he got together with Su Le. Zhou Wanting was speechless for a long time after listening.
"...So, you don't have any feelings for Lan Shuang, but in order to treat my illness and return to the Lu family, you have to be with her?"
"Well, I was really forced into a corner at the time. This was the only way I could go, so I lied to Lan Shuang from the beginning. But I didn't intend to cheat at the time. Later, when I met Su Le, I realized she was my type. I couldn't control myself, so I got together with her, and I also lied to her at the time."
Zhou Wanting looked at her son silently, the words of reprimand on the tip of her tongue but unable to come out. If she were someone else, she could point fingers at him from the moral high ground, but she was his mother, and he did this to give her the disease, so she had no right to say anything.
"No wonder I was transferred to a single room. After Lan Shuang broke up with you, she was unwilling to bear the medical expenses anymore, right?" Zhou Wanting suddenly spoke, and Lu Yihan was stunned.
"Lan Shuang? No, hasn't the Lu family always paid for the medical expenses?"
Zhou Wanting was puzzled. "Really? But one time, I was half asleep and half awake when I heard two doctors chatting beside my bed. They said that two transfers of money were made to the hospital. One was from the Lu family, and the other was from someone unknown. When I heard you say that, I thought it was Lan Shuang. And that nurse also left after your wedding was cancelled."
Lu Yihan was completely stunned. He was still sitting there, but his thoughts were drifting away.
…
The voice of the flight attendant on the plane interrupted Lu Yihan's memories. Lu Yihan waved his hand: "I don't need anything, thank you."
The flight attendant left.
Lu Yihan blinked his dry eyes, looked at the corner of Lan Shuang's clothes that was exposed, and his mother's words rang in his ears again.
"If it really doesn't work out, then go back to Lan Shuang. At least she really likes you. She has a good family background and is talented. She's no worse than Su Le in any way. Isn't she as good-looking as Su Le? I think Su Le is just average looking."
"No, Lan Shuang... is very beautiful."
"That's it, how could you not be interested in such a girl who is good in every aspect? How is Su Le better than her? Do you really like Su Le or are you just attracted by her novelty?"
"Son, please think about it carefully. Mom is old and can't take care of you. The Lu family is not a good family. Only when you marry a wife who can help you and love you, can Mom feel at ease."
…
Lu Yihan pinched his eyebrows tiredly and leaned back in his chair. Did he really have to go back to find Lan Shuang?
This question still had no answer until I got off the plane.
The general manager took them to the hotel first. They were all on the same floor. Lan Shuang didn't know it when the room cards were distributed, but when she went upstairs, she found that she and Lu Yihan were actually next door to each other.
They both froze when they reached the door.
The general manager hadn't expected the arrangement to be so coincidental. He hesitantly asked Lan Shuang, "How about we switch?"
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "It's okay, no need to bother."
As she said that, she opened the door of her room and went in with her suitcase.
Lu Yihan hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked in.
Lan Shuang returned to her room, sorted out her things, and asked 888, "How's it going? Did the female supporting character's resentment value decrease?"
888 said excitedly, "I was just about to tell the host that the female supporting character's resentment value has been reduced by another ten points. It's already thirty points, and there are only seventy points left!"
Lan Shuang nodded: "This shows that Lu Yihan is regretting more and more, but he hasn't reached the peak of regret yet. I have to think of a way to make him regret it quickly."
"Host, what do you want to do?"
Lan Shuang put down her things, checked the bed, and said, "As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After experiencing the good life of great wealth and luxury, who would want to live in a thatched hut all day long?"
"You mean - you want Lu Yihan to experience a good life? But he lives and eats well in the Lu family."
Lan Shuang shook her head. "Of course that's not what I meant. This is my first business trip. Afterwards, I'll treat everyone to a meal and give them some souvenirs. That's normal, right?"
888 suddenly realized: "Are you trying to contrast your wealth with Su Le's?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "Yes, this kind of behavior is generally not encouraged, but when dealing with these two people, there is no need to be so particular."
