Zhu Xingwen came in after finishing his cigarette and saw Qiao Yu's head nodding off, about to hit the bedside table. Fortunately, he was quick enough to catch his head, avoiding a bump.
What are you talking about taking care of me? I just couldn't hold on and fell asleep. Why don't you just go back to sleep? Why suffer like this?
Zhu Xingwen thought so in his heart, but he still went to get a blanket for Qiao Yu to cover her with.
When Lu Jinshu woke up, he felt as if his entire back was being roasted by fire. Suddenly, he remembered something and sat up abruptly, pulling the wound on his back.
"Lin Yu! Hiss—"
Qiao Yu, who was dozing off next to him, was so frightened that he immediately stood up and called the nurse. He was in a flurry of activity before he finally stopped.
Zhu Xingwen patted Lu Jinshu's shoulder in amusement.
"I was wondering, Old Lu, you're actually a romantic."
Receiving Lu Jinshu's cold glare, he closed his mouth angrily and spread his hands:
"Okay, okay, I'd better get out of here as a light bulb."
Seeing the two of them being affectionate with each other and no one paying any attention to him, Zhu Xingwen walked out while biting his handkerchief. When he closed the door, his eyes were full of coldness.
But he suddenly found it funny, curled the corners of his mouth, and warned himself again in his heart.
As soon as the person left, Lu Jinshu hugged Qiao Yu, ignoring the nurse's instructions, because only in this way could he suppress the fear in his heart.
When he thought about the pain in his body being passed on to Qiao Yu, his heart hurt more than the wound on his back.
Qiao Yu was also afraid that he would tear the wound, so she held him obediently:
"Uncle Lu, I'm fine. Let's just lie down quietly, okay?"
"No, let me hold you for a while."
Although this man has always been thick-skinned, this was the first time he spoke to Qiao Yu in such a coquettish way:
"I shouldn't have listened to you and let that crazy woman go. You don't know how scared I was yesterday."
What he was afraid of was not that he would get hurt, but that he would not be able to protect Qiao Yu well, even if a drop of sulfuric acid splashed on Qiao Yu yesterday.
He would definitely make Lin Xuxu disappear in City C without anyone noticing.
"Okay, it's all my fault."
Unable to persuade him, Qiao Yu had to let him hold her quietly.
Someone outside opened the door, saw this scene but didn't have the courage to push it open. A myriad of emotions surged in his eyes, and he finally fled in panic.
He didn't have the courage to rush in and push away his uncle who was hugging his beloved woman. Why was he hugging her so intimately?
He also didn't have the courage to ask Qiao Yu why she didn't push him away, because he was afraid that the answer would not be what he wanted.
Zhu Xingwen, who had just returned from buying breakfast, saw his 'acquaintance' and greeted him in a good-tempered manner:
"Hey, Ji...is this a ghost?"
The other party didn't even see Zhu Xingwen and walked away quickly.
Lin Xuxu was confident and hopeful in prison for a few days, but as the days became more and more difficult, she realized that she had been deceived again.
Later, Lin Xuxu smashed the wall like crazy, laughed wildly and cursed Qiao Yu, and was finally diagnosed with mental disorder.
At least her fate was better than Lin Yu's in her previous life. Lin Xuxu at least had better food in the mental hospital, but she still had no human rights.
A year has passed since the sugar daddy scandal and the sulfuric acid throwing incident.
This year, Qiao Yu's career has been developing better and better. With her beautiful and recognizable appearance, talented acting skills and a strong family background, Qiao Yu finally won the first Best Actress award in her life.
Although it is not a global award, it is also well-known internationally.
Now, in addition to being called the most beautiful lady on earth, Qiao Yu has also been nicknamed the little movie queen, but her fans will still call her that.
As for Qiao Yu being rightfully called the best actress, it will surely be a matter of time.
Apart from Lin Xuxu's tragic situation, the only thing that has changed is Luo Yuanhe. For some reason, he retired from the entertainment industry and was captured by the head of the Luo family and sent back to serve in the army.
If he doesn't change his ways, he won't support Luo Yuanhe financially anymore.
In fact, everyone in the circle knows that Luo Yuanhe was the one who paid money to hire Lin Xuxu, which allowed Lin Xuxu to sneak into the venue.
Luo Yuanhe bowed deeply to Qiao Yu before leaving:
"I'm going to be enlisting in the army in a couple of days. My brother said that I'm a troublemaker and I'm going to get beaten up a lot..."
Luo Yuanhe's voice was a little choked, but he managed to hold it back. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to cry in front of Sister Xiao Yu.
"I'm sorry, I was indeed the one who arranged Lin Xuxu's situation. I apologize again for leaving you with such a bad impression."
Although he apologized, Luo Yuanhe did not regret it and would do the same thing again if he had the chance to do it a thousand times.
It's not that he likes Qiao Yu that much, he just hopes that he will come and apologize, and Qiao Yu can persuade the Ji, Lin and Lu families to stop targeting the Luo family.
But Qiao Yu clearly understood his little tricks the first time she saw him:
"I'm not the one you should apologize to. After all, I wasn't the one who got hurt. I can't forgive you on their behalf."
The girl's voice was still so soft and pleasant, but extremely cold.
Luo Yuanhe's forced smile froze. He wanted to explain but Qiao Yu left without looking back. He wanted to go up and grab Qiao Yu but was held back by the bodyguard.
Qiao Yu: 404, check the task progress.
404: The current task progress is 98%, and there are 4 years left to the deadline.
Qiao Yu: There’s still so much time left... I’ve been in this world for three and a half years, which means she can leave before she turns thirty.
404 had told her before that the time to complete the mission in each world was determined by the lifeline of the body she was inhabiting in the original plot.
She can change the fate of everyone in this world, but she cannot change the length of Lin Yu's life. It's better this way, as Qiao Yu is tired of staying in this world.
