Chen Yuxin saw his seriousness and said, "After my grandmother recovers, you can thank me however you want."
Lu Jincheng gazed at her with deep, dark eyes.
Seeing her say that, she hadn't forgiven him for that incident, and he had said many bastard things. She was upset and couldn't forgive him, which he understood.
"Chen Yuxin, you don't know me well enough yet. I'm a very kind person. What happened just now was a joke, you don't need to take it to heart."
Lu Jincheng smiled, his gaze drifting to the window. He didn't need her to repay him; helping her would significantly lessen his guilt.
Anyway, his family was pressuring him to get married. If he could sleep with Chen Yuxin, it would prove he didn't dislike women.
He believed in quality over quantity and would only marry a woman he loved.
Secretary Xiao Yang in front: "..."
I'll just smile—
I don't see where the CEO is kind.
It's just fake kindness—
At the company, his temper was so bad it scared people.
Towards this Miss Chen, he was gentle and considerate. It was the first time he had seen President Lu be so gentle with someone.
He had said those words earlier, and it had startled her.
Chen Yuxin was slightly stunned. When she came to her senses, she turned her head, looking at the man's profile. His facial features were distinct. Lu Jincheng was the type of man with a gentle demeanor, appearing kind and approachable, exuding the air of a refined gentleman. However, there was always a sense of distance about him, inexplicably stopping others from wanting to get close.
This feeling was very strong.
Even if she slept with the man, she still only saw a sincere smile from him. As for his heart, it seemed he hadn't accepted her distance at all.
Even if he loudly declared he would take responsibility, he would indeed take responsibility…
Chen Yuxin really wanted to ask, "Lu Jincheng, are you serious about taking responsibility?"
But looking at his beautiful young secretary, she instantly lost her train of thought.
Lost in thought, they had already arrived at the hospital.
At the hospital!
Outside the emergency room.
Chen Yuxin's mother and sister waited anxiously outside the operating room.
"Sister, Mom, how is Grandma?" Chen Yuxin asked.
Chen's mother had short hair and dressed crisply, clearly a very capable woman.
Her sister, Chen Yuwei, standing beside her, looked very similar to Chen Yuxin, a stunning beauty who could be remembered at a glance. However, compared to Chen Yuxin, her face was haggard, her eyes lacked luster, as if burdened by immense weight, making one feel somewhat oppressed.
Her gaze fell upon Lu Jincheng behind Chen Yuxin, and her lips pressed together slightly.
"Yuxin, your grandmother went into surgery and hasn't come out yet," Chen's mother said anxiously.
Living together with three generations of family, Chen's mother was also very filial.
Even though the children's father was gone, she treated the elder as her own mother.
"Mom, don't worry. These are the most authoritative orthopedic doctors. Grandma will be fine," Chen Yuxin walked over to comfort her.
"Mm!" Chen's mother nodded lightly.
Only then did she notice Lu Jincheng following behind him.
Chen Yuxin suddenly remembered Lu Jincheng behind her. She had rushed here earlier and forgotten to come up with a good reason.
"Mom, Sister, this is my friend, President Lu. We owe him a lot for Grandma's situation tonight," Chen Yuxin introduced with a smile.
Chen's mother and Chen Yuwei were very grateful to Lu Jincheng.
"President Lu, thank you!" Chen Yuwei smiled at Lu Jincheng.
Lu Jincheng's smile was faint. "Auntie, Sister, please don't be so polite. It's what I should do." Lu Jincheng was refined and elegant, inspiring endless goodwill.
Chen's mother, seeing Lu Jincheng's expensive attire and handsome features, instantly took a liking to him.
Chen Yuwei, however, looked at Chen Yuxin with some concern.
Chen Yuxin caught her sister's gaze and immediately understood her sister's thoughts.
Considering what had happened tonight.
Chen Yuxin was very anxious; Lu Jincheng had hit her brother-in-law.
"By the way, Sister, we encountered your husband tonight. He spoke disrespectfully to me, and President Lu taught him a lesson. You need to be careful when you go back tonight."
Chen Yuxin had felt very satisfied at the time but forgot about Chen Yuwei's predicament.
Chen Yuwei smiled faintly, "It's okay."
After saying those light words, her expression quickly turned somber.
Lu Jincheng even saw a hint of fear in her dull eyes.
Could that man not only be a scumbag but also abusive?
Chen's mother looked at her daughter with heartache. "Yuwei, I've told you to get a divorce long ago. Why don't you listen?"
Chen Yuwei had her own difficulties to express; she also wanted a divorce, but what about the child?
The Zhou family wouldn't let her take their son.
Chen Yuwei lowered her head, her eyes reddening.
"Mom, I'm fine." Chen's mother was disappointed in her lack of progress.
"Hmph! You're fine? If you're fine, you look old and tired. Every time I see you, I feel like you're living a harder life than I am."
Chen's mother knew the nature of her in-laws.
Her mother-in-law particularly enjoyed bullying her.
That large family, not even willing to hire a nanny, made her daughter responsible for all their daily needs.
Thinking of these things, she hated her own powerlessness. If her maiden family had been stronger, her daughter wouldn't have suffered such hardship.
At this moment, Lu Jincheng placed his business card on the ground and said, "Sister, Yu Xin and I are friends. If you need any help, remember to call me."
Chen Yuwei was startled but still politely took the card.
"Thank you, President Lu!" she said in a low voice.
She wanted to escape the Zhou family's pit, unless she died.
But if she left, what would happen to the child?
Lele was her only concern.
When Chen Yuwei extended her hand, Lu Jincheng noticed faint bruises on her wrist and her rough hands, with two fingers deformed.
Thinking about meeting her husband tonight, the man's words were all frivolous, not even sparing his own sister-in-law.
Infidelity within marriage, simply not human.
He had beaten up Zhou Shen tonight, which would likely cause trouble for Chen Yuwei.
Lu Jincheng looked down, took out his phone, and sent a message to his secretary.
Chen Yuxin said, "Sister, hurry back to see Lele. If he wakes up and doesn't see you, he'll be scared."
Chen Yuwei frowned, "But Grandma..."
"Your sister and I will stay here. You go back quickly, it's fine. I'll call you as soon as your grandma is out," Chen's mother said, seeing her elder daughter looking very tired.
She hadn't liked Zhou Shen back then; seeing that son-in-law's glib tongue, he immediately changed his demeanor after marriage, looking down on their family.
None of that mattered; it was the daughter who had to live the life.
But the Zhou family treated her daughter poorly, merely seeing her as a free nanny. She had no money, but she lived with dignity.
Though life in poverty was difficult, happiness and joy were the meaning of life.
"Alas!" Chen's mother sighed heavily.
Chen Yuwei pursed her lips, remaining silent. Finally, she left in a hurry.
Lu Jincheng sent another message, and Chen Yuwei departed.
The three waited for another two hours, and then Madam Chen was finally wheeled out of the operating room.
Lu Jincheng arranged for a high-class VIP ward.
Upon arriving outside the ward, it startled Chen Yuxin.
Seeing her mother enter the room, she pulled Lu Jincheng to a quiet place.
