After hanging up the phone, Li Yan wore a look of sorrow, "Mrs. Lu, please don’t make fun of ; this isn’t the first ti I’ve done sothing like this." Fortunately, he had been successful every ti.
Zhuang Shuqing smiled at his words, remaining silent.
Li Yan left them at the gate of Jinxiu Garden and departed.
Looking at the five-minute walk ho, and then at the man wrapped up like a zongzi next to her, Zhuang Shuqing took a deep breath and looped the man’s arm over her shoulder, "I’ll act as your crutch."
Lu Jinyang glanced indifferently at the hand on her shoulder and without a word, unceremoniously shifted half his body weight onto her, nearly causing her to lose balance and fall.
He laughed, "With just this little strength, you want to be my crutch?"
Zhuang Shuqing’s cheeks turned slightly red, "Otherwise, shall I find a solid wooden crutch for you?"
Lu Jinyang: "..."
Arriving ho ten minutes later, Zhuang Shuqing set him down on the couch and directly ran into the bathroom, not even glancing at the man on the couch.
After taking a shower, Zhuang Shuqing ca out to the living room and said to Lu Jinyang, "The doctor said you’ve had a full detoxification while in the hospital, and you can’t bathe for the next couple of days. Are you going to sleep now?"
Lu Jinyang’s eyes, dark as obsidian, reflected her beautiful countenance. Looking at the woman fresh from the shower, his eyes flickered darkly several tis. After a long while, he finally uttered, "Okay."
Zhuang Shuqing was overjoyed and was just about to go forward and help him when he stopped her. Then, under her surprised gaze, he walked into his room with a regular stride, showing not the slightest sign of injury.
"..."
Looking at his condition, his foot probably wasn’t injured, so, was she conned by him just now?
Thinking about how she had struggled to half-carry and help him walk this far, Zhuang Shuqing was fuming with irritation. Not wanting to look at him anymore, she simply grabbed a pillow and settled down onto the couch to sleep.
The tension she had held for so long suddenly relaxed, and Zhuang Shuqing quickly fell asleep, unaware that the man who went into the room reappeared in the living room.
He watched her for a long ti, but in the end, did nothing. He turned, entered his room, closed the door, and locked it.
...
In the suburbs, Lu Mansion
Ye Han glared fiercely at the woman who had appeared at her ho in the middle of the night, saying coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Tan Biyang only found out from the television that Lu Jinyang had been missing for nearly three days!
As she regretted not watching the news sooner, she rushed over without a second thought to show her eagerness to help. She knew that Lu Jinyang was injured and also knew that he disliked going to the hospital, thus she deduced that he must have returned ho to recover.
Since there were no caretakers at Jinxiu Garden, Lu Zhiyuan and his wife would not leave him alone there, so she ca to the Lu Mansion instead.
Feeling the hostility in Ye Han’s tone, Tan Biyang was not upset, even managing to put on a proper smile.
"Aunt Han, I ca to see Jinyang. Is he... feeling better now?"
Upon hearing her words, Ye Han instantly understood her intention. She leisurely eyed Tan Biyang, "And with what identity do you wish to see him?"
Tan Biyang’s mood lifted, he was indeed here!
However, she couldn’t let Ye Han see her joy, as that would be too obvious, so she feigned distress, "Aunt Han~ I know that the recent scandal has made you have certain opinions about , but I will prove to you that it’s all been a misunderstanding!"
Ye Han knitted her brows, unsure where her confidence ca from, but listened as she continued, "I have found out, all those news reports were made by a reporter nad Zhuang Shuqing. We had so unpleasantness between us, and she did this to retaliate against !"
Zhuang Shuqing?
