He Ruoxue stood and watched as Lu Zifan doubled over in pain. He wanted to hug He Lanjin, but he was rejected.
He Ruoxue felt uneasy. Since Lu Zifan entered the room, he never so much looked her in the eye. He was so devoted to He Lanjin that He Ruoxue felt uncomfortable. What if Lu Zifan got deluded about his feelings for He Lanjin? That would be terrible!
After all, men think with their d*cks. He Ruoxue was sure about how much Lu Zifan cared for her only when they were together in bed.
"Don't... I'll go up myself," He Lanjin said through gritted her teeth. She forcefully held onto the railing and slowly walked up the stairs. She seemed to almost fall with every "exhausting" step.
Lu Zifan followed closely behind, worried. "If you cannot go on your own, don't try to be brave."
"I'm not a cripple. I can walk on my own," He Lanjin said in a low voice. As she turned her back on everyone, her mouth twitched into an amused smile.
Her heart felt happy to see how these people were suffering.
She didn't expect Lu Zifan to involve Zhao Yuyi. Now she had more ways to make them suffer even if she was not yet able to recover the evidence against them.
"You don't have to fuss about me. I think you should go and talk to my father," He Lanjin said softly. She deliberately sent him away. She was afraid that if she accidentally laughed out loud later, she would expose herself.
"As you wish." Lu Zifan couldn't help but feel even more confident. All of a sudden, He Lanjin seemed to be in a hurry to marry him. He couldn't be prouder of himself, thinking that all his problems were solved.
Lu Zifan was a bit puzzled about the sudden change in He Lanjin, but he could not find any problem with her. He could only turn around and go downstairs to discuss matters with He Wenqing.
HE MANSION, SECOND FLOOR.
He Lanjin stood by the railing and looked down at He Wenqing, who was still berating Zhao Yuyi. When she saw the distress on Lu Zifan's face, He Lanjin could not help but laugh.
He Lanjin returned to her room and checked her iPad for information about the deserted mansion, but not even the omnipotent Baidu could yield results for her search.
Two hours later, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" He Lanjin asked cautiously, stuffing the iPad under her pillow.
Outside the door came the voice of He Wenqing's secretary. "Miss He, President He has encountered some problems with some matters that he is dealing with. He would like to invite you over."
"I'm injured," He Lanjin reasoned. "It's inconvenient for me to go out." She refused, not wanting to leave her room.
The secretary said patiently, "President He knows that you were injured quite badly, so he sent me to pick you up. He said that the engagement has been put on hold because of the situation last night. He is asking Miss to join him. It won't take too much of your time."
He Lanjin got up, feeling extremely puzzled. She really did not want to go, but she knew that the secretary would not leave unless she went with him.
"Okay," He Lanjin said softly. She checked her face in the mirror and made sure her bandages were intact. She then put on a large coat and limped out of her room.
He Lanin followed the secretary out of the house and into the car, where she closed her eyes to rest until they reached a luxurious hotel.
The secretary led He Lanjin to the VIP room of the hotel. Opening the door, the secretary said, "Miss He, please."
"Okay," He Lanjin replied. She walked into the large room to see her father, He Wenqing and a fat man.
He Wenqing looked up and waved at He Lanjin. "Ah Jin, come here."
"Dad, what are you doing?" He Lanjin stayed where she was, unsure of approaching. Her gaze swept past the fat man who looked like he was dripping with oil. He stared at her with lecherous eyes, and she recognized him immediately.
He was the infamous Jiang City pervert. He liked young women and was once reported for child molestation.
"What are you still standing there for? Come here and sit next to CEO Huang!" He Wenqing said. "Ah Jin, I have reached an agreement with CEO Huang. Lu Zifan has postponed the engagement and doesn't want to marry you, so you should instead be engaged to CEO Huang." He Wenqing propped his hands on the table and stood up, his face as red as a pig's liver. He had obviously drunk too much.
He Lanjin was stunned. She knew that her father liked to drink and gamble, but she never imagined He Wenqiing would sell her to this disgusting man in marriage.
In response, He Lanjin laughed coldly and turned around to leave.
He Lanjin, however, felt something wrong. She suddenly felt weak, unable to move.
