After attending the Lin family's dinner party, Lu Baoyun returned home and locked herself in her room.
Wu Ma knew her temper and didn't pay much attention at first.
It wasn't until the next day, when she was cleaning and found the food outside the door still in its original state, that she panicked and started banging on the door while calling for Lao Xu.
The two found some tools and worked for a long time, and were about to pry it open.
As soon as the door lock came loose, Lu Baoyun stared blankly at the two of them, holding the doorknob. "What's wrong?"
Just as Butler Xu was about to explain, Aunt Wu gave her a wink and spoke up first, "Miss, didn't you say you were going to the hospital to see Madam today?"
"The black chicken soup that Madam loves is ready. I've also prepared a bowl of snow fungus and pear soup for Miss. Please eat before you go!"
The daughters of the Lu family are all strong-willed and have their own personalities and tempers.
In the eyes of Aunt Wu and Butler Xu, Lu Baoyun was the most well-behaved one.
Although she was always loud and teasing Lu Yi when he was around, she always said what she meant and never secretly tripped him up.
Seeing her disheveled appearance and dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept for days, both people who were not related by blood couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Butler Xu picked up the cold food from the long table by the door. "I'll go prepare the car."
Lu Baoyun nodded. "I'm not hungry. We'll leave in ten minutes."
The words of advice that were about to come out of Wu Ma's mouth were changed, and her voice became as soft as if she were coaxing a child.
"Then I'll pack up the soup now, including your portion, so you can have it with your wife at the hospital."
This house is like a fallen tree.
The branches are broken, the leaves have fallen, and the few remaining fruits are also teetering on the brink of collapse, requiring one to be constantly on guard.
Sitting in the car, Lu Baoyun's swollen eyelids were half-closed, and she looked listless.
Wu Ma, who was standing to the side, was holding a thermos and trying to make conversation.
"Miss, this house is really spacious, and there are so many rooms. I never thought that a building could be designed like this."
Lu Baoyun blinked her heavy eyelids and looked at her.
"Mother Wu probably also thinks that a large apartment is much better than a villa..."
Aunt Wu smiled and said, "Of course! Young Master Yi once said that if the Lu family's villa were a large single-level apartment, the atmosphere among the family would be so much better!"
Butler Xu slammed on the brakes, and Aunt Wu immediately shut up.
Bringing up Lu Yi at this time is just adding fuel to the fire!
Lu Baoyun's face darkened, she gave a self-deprecating laugh, and took the thermos from Wu Ma's hands.
"Aunt Wu, I've actually wanted Yi'er to come live with us for a long time, but will he come?"
The Lu family hurt Lu Yi so deeply.
I used to think that Lu Yi wouldn't make a splash outside and would eventually have to come back to the Lu family.
But what about now?
The world turned upside down, Lu Yi rose to prominence, while the once glorious Lu family fell into ruin.
What right does she have to ask Lu Yi to do anything?
Moreover, every frame of the evidence Lin Xiaoya gave her felt like a knife slashing across her face…
Lu Han did so many things that wronged Lu Yi, but none of his father, mother, or sister stood up for him.
Liang Shiyue's ordeal was all caused by Lu Han.
The Lu family only knew how to be infinitely tolerant of Lu Han, never considering Lu Yi's feelings and situation.
From the moment she opened those videos, she sat in front of the computer without moving.
Self-blame and remorse were like venomous snakes, plunging her into a nightmarish numbness... The Lu family's current state was destined long ago!
Overwhelmed with grief, Lu Baoyun lowered her head, and tears dripped onto the thermos.
For a moment, the car fell silent.
After seeing her get out of the car, Wu Ma and Butler Xu discussed it briefly and changed their route to head towards the Fan family's house.
They didn't know where Lu Yi would be staying.
This child seems to have several homes, but upon closer inspection, he still doesn't have a home.
...
Seeing her mother bound hand and foot to the bed, Lu Baoyun casually threw down the thermos and abruptly pulled away the nurse beside the bed.
He opened his arms and shielded Qin Fengying behind him.
"What are you doing? Is this how you treated my mother when I wasn't around?"
"How could medical staff, who are supposed to have the hearts of parents, show such a despicable side? I'm going to sue you for patient abuse!"
In the past, whenever my mother had a cold or cough, no matter which hospital she went to, someone would proactively come forward to diagnose her.
My mother has already suffered enough, yet she's being treated like this.
Is this karma?
Lu Baoyun bit her lip, refusing to budge an inch.
The nurses tried to explain for ages, but she wouldn't listen to a single word.
"Don't you have a mother or family? This is the evidence. I'm contacting a lawyer now..."
"No need!"
The doctor and security guards rushed over when they heard the commotion.
The doctor in the white coat waved his hand, signaling the others to leave first.
Lu Baoyun remained vigilant, watching him close the door and frantically search for something to use. "Don't do anything rash, what are you trying to do..."
The doctor raised his hands and then pointed to the nameplate on his chest.
"It's me, Wang Jun. Don't you recognize me?"
Lu Baoyun shook her head.
She couldn't recall having any connection with the doctors at that hospital.
Wang Jun picked up the medical record at the foot of the bed, flipped through a few pages, and sighed.
“It’s normal that you don’t recognize me. I’m Lu Baozhi’s classmate. I went abroad early and haven’t been in contact with her since I came back. However, I do know a little about your family situation.”
"You know my older sister?"
"Yes, your mother's previous attending physician had something to do, so I took over. It wasn't my request."
Wang Jun could tell that she was not cunning and spoke very bluntly.
Lu Baoyun was still angry. While untying the rope, she tidied Qin Fengying's messy hair.
