He Ruoxue looked pitiful in the video, as if she had been wronged by the heavens.
He Lanjin searched for the video online. Indeed, He Ruoxue had won the people's sympathy. In the comments section, many scolded He Lanjin for not knowing what was good for her. They berated her for hiding, not saying a word, and letting her best friend He Ruoxue take the blow for the whole incident.
A large number of netizens directly gave He Lanjin the title of "scheming b*tch." He Ruoxue even replied, "You can't talk about her like that!"
The phone rang before He Lanjin finished reading the comments. It was Tang Zhilin. "Ah Jin, are your injuries better?"
"Yes," He Lanjin replied. Tang Zhilin must be calling her for something.
"Your father invited young Master Lu for dinner," Tang Zhilin said. "He wants to renegotiate your marriage. You need to come home tonight."
He Lanjin was about to refuse, but she suddenly thought of how He Ruoxue and Lu Zifan would act later. A cunning look flashed through her almond-shaped eyes. "Okay, I'll go home later."
Just as Tang Zhilin was about to hang up the phone, He Wenqing ran over and snatched the phone. He spoke into the receiver in a low voice. "Ah Jin, don't tell anyone about what happened. Father was drunk and muddled. I'm afraid that your marriage will be ruined if young Master Lu finds out."
He Wenqing did not expect CEO Huang to be this useless. He was exposed in a scandal only two days ago and was caught by the police yesterday. He should not have been so blind as to strike a deal with the director.
"Mr. He, don't be like this," He Lanjin sneered. "Since you dared to sell me out, why should you be afraid of young Master Lu?" She hung the phone without giving He Wenqing a chance to reply.
As He Lanjin got out of bed, she saw a box of medicine on the bedside table. There was also a note in Qiao Hanye's handwriting.
She had always been a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest movement. How come she had no idea that he came into the room last night?
He Lanjin got out of bed, washed up, and changed into a pair of jeans and a loose sweater. After tying her hair into a ponytail, she walked out of her room. The big house was empty, but there was some breakfast waiting for her. He Lanjin finished her breakfast before driving to the hospital.
Shangguan Zhi looked up from his desk when he heard some movement at the door. He jumped up in fright when he saw He Lanjin. "You," the doctor said in a nervous voice. "The gynecology department is in front."
He Lanjin walked in uninvited and sat down on a chair by the desk. "Help me with my bandaging."
Shangguan Zhi pushed his glasses up his nose and stared at He Lanjin. the expression on her face was very convincing.; she really looked like she needed bandaging. How was she able to achieve this look?
"One moment please," Shangguan Zhi said as he stood up. His attitude towards He Lanjin became much more respectful. He bandaged her the same way she was bandaged the first time- exaggerated to the point of being unbearable to look at. When Shangguan Zhi finished, He Lanjin looked at herself in the mirror, touching her head. Satisfied with the doctor's work, she said, "Okay, that's it."
From the hospital, He Lanjin headed to a club in the city. She ran into Zhao Yuyi.
Zhao Yuyi was wearing a white suit. His lips were red and his teeth were white. He looked like a typical young hunk, causing the girls who passed by to turn around and look at him.
Zhao Yuyi was shocked when he saw He Lanjin just as he walked into the clubhouse. "Miss He?"
Zhao Yuyi wanted to run away, but before he turned around, he heard He Lanjin say, "Eh? Aren't you Ruoxue's boyfriend?"
"Yes," Zhao Yuyi replied as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He felt a little guilty and stood rooted to the spot with a faint smile on his face. He did not dare look at her.
He Lanjin looked at Zhao Yuyi's guilty face and remembered his coquettish look the night he was alone with Lu Zifan. He looked like a completely different person. Dressed neatly like this, Zhao Yuyi seemed very manly. Noone could tell that he was gay.
"How are you and Ruoxue?" He Lanjin asked. "We have a family gathering tonight. You should come."
Zhao Yuyi thought of the two kicks He Wenqing had given him. He felt very uncomfortable, afraid that his secret would be exposed. He could not say yes to He Lanjin's invitation.
