Who's that pretty boy in Chapter 23?



Shi Miao calmly wiped the blood off her hands with a wet tissue, glanced at Qin Xiao, and asked, "When did your business expand to H City?"

Qin Xiao touched his nose sheepishly and said, "Ahem, this was just acquired recently, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

"Alright, I'm leaving now." Shi Miao casually tossed the tissue in her hand into the trash can.

"You still haven't told me what crazy thing you did to rush up there, and who that pretty boy was." Qin Xiao looked at Shi Miao's fair profile with a hint of jealousy.

Upon hearing this, Shi Miao slightly raised her eyes and said calmly, "From our school."

"Holy crap, you don't like him, do you?"

"Your dad's Lei Feng spirit is acting up."

"I don't believe it!"

......

H City First People's Hospital

On the hospital bed, Lu Hansheng slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake?" The caregiver looked at him with surprise.

Lu Hansheng suffered multiple fractures, but fortunately he was brought in in time and is not in life-threatening danger.

Lu Hansheng felt a burning sensation in his throat and weakly uttered, "Water..."

Upon seeing this, the caregiver immediately picked up a disposable paper cup filled with water from the table and fed him.

After drinking half a glass of water, Lu Hansheng finally recovered and weakly said, "Thank you."

At that moment, several people dressed in black suits suddenly rushed into the ward.

Xu Yi gave a wink to the bodyguard behind him.

The head bodyguard nodded, stepped forward, and said to the caregiver, "Excuse me, please leave."

The caregiver had never seen such a large-scale battle before, and was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak and quickly ran out.

"You all can go out first," Xu Yi said, turning his head.

"Yes." After saying that, he closed the door and led the others to stand guard at the entrance.

"Young Master, we are here to take you back as instructed by the Master." Xu Yi stepped forward and looked respectfully at the person on the sickbed.

Lu Hansheng lowered his eyes, his drooping eyelashes casting shadows under his eyes. "What are you talking about? I don't know you."

"Your father is Lu Yuanshen, the executive chairman of the Lu Group. I am Mr. Lu's assistant, Xu Yi."

Lu Hansheng's eyes flickered slightly. Enduring the pain, he coldly said, "My father died when I was a child. You've mistaken me for someone else."

"Mr. Lu told me to tell you that if you want your mother's illness cured, you should obediently return to the Lu family. I think your mother's illness won't last much longer. You went to fight in underground boxing matches just to pay for your mother's surgery."

Lu Hansheng's eyes turned cold, and his pale, slender hands gripped the blanket tightly.

After a moment of silence, Lu Hansheng said coldly with a tense face, "I understand. I'll go back as soon as I'm discharged from the hospital."

"I'll pick you up then, young master. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything." Xu Yi placed the business card on the bedside table and then left the ward.

Lu Hansheng glanced at the black and gold-embossed name card on the table, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips, but his gaze grew even more resolute.

......

After leaving the boxing arena, Shi Miao went straight back to the Gu family.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Yun Rujin's annoying questioning voice: "Where did you go last night? You're so young, yet you didn't come home last night."

Shi Miao's eyes were filled with agitation. He ignored her and strode towards the stairs.

"Shi Miao!" Yun Rujin raised her delicate eyebrows and reached out to pull Shi Miao.

Shi Miao subtly avoided the situation, stopping in her tracks, a cold glint in her eyes: "Don't mess with me."

"You...I'm your mother!"

"Tsk, don't let me hear that again. I told you you don't deserve it." With that, he ignored her and walked upstairs.

Yun Rujin's face darkened, and she was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

Gu Yanxin had been eavesdropping from the shadows. After Shi Miao went upstairs, she walked to Yun Rujin's side and said softly, "Mom, calm down. You still have me. I'm your daughter too."

"Xinxin, Mom knows." Yun Rujin looked at Gu Yanxin's obedient face and her anger subsided by half. She gently patted her hand.

"Wednesday is Maestro William's concert. How's your piano preparation going? Are you confident?" Yun Rujin pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

A glint of light flashed in Gu Yanxin's eyes. She hugged Yun Rujin's arm and said sweetly, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm determined to be Master William's apprentice."

Yun Rujin patted her head with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Good, good, good. You are indeed my daughter. You must make your grandfather proud."

......

Inside the room, Shi Miao was lying on the bed playing video games with Ji Sinian.

"Sister Miao, what's going on between you and my uncle? Do you like my uncle? Will I have to call you aunt from now on?" Ji Sinian's voice came from the phone.

Shi Miao clicked her tongue and said casually, "Let me say it again, my journey is to the stars and the sea."

"Damn, I don't believe it. My uncle is so outstanding, so handsome, so rich, even though he can be brutal at times..."

"Are you praising your uncle or scolding him?"

"Oh dear, I'm so worried. You know how hard my uncle has worked. It's rare for him to finally have a chance to succeed. Sister Miao, you can't let him down," Ji Sinian said cautiously, unaware that the hero he was playing had died.

Shi Miao focused on the game in her hands and said casually, "Tsk, I'm not into dating."

"Damn it, do you want to skip the dating process and just marry my uncle?"

"If you say one more word, I'll go get your bones loosened tomorrow."

"Ugh, never mind! Holy crap, how did I die..."
