151: Chapter 151: Her Heart Races 151: Chapter 151: Her Heart Races Monday.
At City First Hospital, inside one of the VIP wards.
A booming voice emerged from the ward: “Where is your second brother?”
Since Lu Zhiyang left the hospital last Saturday, he has not shown up until this morning, and he isn’t answering his phone calls either.
Ms.
Zhang was furious to the point of losing her temper.
Lu Zhenyu stood aside, hands behind his back, his eyelashes slightly drooping, sighed: “Ms.
Zhang, I am not my brother’s personal accessory, how would I know where he went?
Asking me is pointless.”
Ms.
Zhang, infuriated, her chest heaving up and down, gritted her teeth and said: “Call him, tell him to come to the hospital, just say I’m about to die.”
“I don’t believe he won’t come.”
“…” Lu Zhenyu twitched the corners of his mouth.
“Mom, such an excuse, you should only use it once.
If you use it too much, do you think my brother will still believe it?”
Ms.
Zhang didn’t care if it worked or not: “Just call if I told you to, stop arguing with me!”
Lu Zhenyu was really fed up, his mom could really be dramatic sometimes.
He said: “I won’t call.
If you want to call, do it yourself.
I have other things to do, I’m leaving.”
After speaking, he turned around and left the ward.
Ms.
Zhang: “…”
“You brat, come back here!” She yelled toward the door.
Lu Zhenyu ignored her.
Su He just came out from another ward and ran into him pulling a long face.
“Why does your face look even more dramatic than the World Cup?
Who upset you?”
Lu Zhenyu, who trusted Su He quite a bit and had no reservations, replied: “Don’t even mention it, it’s because of my mom.”
“Your mom?
What’s up, is she pushing you to go on blind dates?”
Yesterday when Lu Zhenyu visited Ms.
Zhang, Su He and others had already left, so they didn’t meet.
She also didn’t know the relationship between Lu Zhenyu and Lu Zhiyang.
“…”
After he finished talking, Su He was stunned for a few seconds.
She looked at him, her peach blossom eyes filled with inquiry and surprise, she pursed her red lips, then slowly said: “You, just said that your mom fainted from anger and was admitted to the hospital yesterday, and now she is refusing to leave the hospital, isn’t your mom named Zhang Lanying?”
Lu Zhenyu blinked, nodded: “Yes, Director Su, how did you know?”
Su He laughed slightly, inwardly marveled at how small the world is.
In other words, Lu Zhenyu and Lu Zhiyang are brothers.
Su He looked at him, with a smirk: “Do you know who made your mom faint from anger yesterday?”
“Who?” Lu Zhenyu asked a bit naively.
His eyes wide, like a child in desperate need of knowledge.
Su He smiled lightly, said: “Right in front of you.”
“What?”
The naive boy didn’t catch on at first.
Three seconds later, he covered his mouth, looking at her incredulously.
Following that, he said: “It’s really my idol, after all these years, though my brother and I often make her mad as well, we’ve never made her faint.
Director Su, you’re incredible.”
This was something Su He had never thought of: “…”
The thought process of the Lu Family really is… well, quite something.
“Director Su, what exactly did you say to my mom?
Let me hear it too?” he suddenly asked curiously.
Su He was speechless: “…”
“I’ll tell you, Director Su, my mom’s mouth can be described in one word: venomous!
No one can outtalk her, she’s utterly unreserved when scolding someone, but equally straightforward when praising.”
He began to complain about Ms.
Zhang.
Su He raised an eyebrow, looking at him as if he were a monster.
Is Zhang Lanying really his mother?
She laughed and said: “I actually noticed, you and your mother are quite similar, both of you have sharp tongues and spare no one in the family, it seems you really are her biological child.”
“…”
Afternoon.
At the top floor of DK Building.
“Master, Chairman Jiang has been quite well-behaved recently, no movements from that side.
However, there’s something odd with the Lou Family, Lou Guohui has not renegotiated a cooperation, but he asked Mrs.
Lou to contact Master Lu’s mother, I guess they are trying to bring the Lu and Lou Families into cooperation.”
“I checked, Mrs.
Lou and Master Lu’s mother are close friends, they had arranged to meet last Saturday, probably to discuss this matter.”
Jiang Feng reported everything.
The man’s voice was low: “Good, I understand.”
“Also, Master, there’s one more thing,” Jiang Feng said.
While speaking, he took out a DNA test report from the folder.
He placed it on the desk, saying: “Someone is investigating the relationship between you and the young master.”
Our people intercepted the DNA test report.
Jiang Yan’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes dark as ink seemed to hold two whirlpools, sending a chill down one’s spine.
Immediately after, Jiang Feng cleared his throat and said, “This was checked by Miss Tang, who bribed the kindergarten teacher to get a sample of the young master’s hair.”
“Miss Tang must have been suspicious.”
The man pondered for a moment, his voice cold and commanding: “Since they want to know so badly, let’s change the result and deliver it to them.”
“Ok, Master.”
Jiang Feng quickly instructed his subordinates to alter the results.
At dusk, Tang Sirou received the results.
She sat in the car wearing sunglasses, holding the document and feeling its burning heat, her heart filled with trepidation and nervousness.
She even hesitated to look at it.
After preparing herself mentally for a long time, she closed her eyes and then opened them, slowly pulling out the thin paper.
DNA result: Not father and son…
Seeing this result, she was stunned for a moment, and the tension in her heart suddenly relaxed.
She exhaled and felt a sense of relief and freshness.
She pulled out her phone and called Lou Ruozhi.
After three rings, the call was answered.
“Hello, Auntie, I have obtained the results.”
Lou Ruozhi stood on her own balcony, looking at the mountains in the distance with a frown, waiting for Tang Sirou to reveal the results.
The next second, her tightly knit brow relaxed.
“Are you sure?” she asked solemnly and cautiously.
Tang Sirou responded, “Auntie, you can rest assured, the facility is run by a very close friend of mine, it’s trustworthy.”
“That’s good, as long as you’re certain it’s not his child.” Lou Ruozhi said, “His thirtieth birthday is also coming soon.”
Tang Sirou hesitated for a moment, then added, “Auntie, I noticed Jiang Yan seems quite well, could it be possible—”
Lou Ruozhi’s gaze turned indifferent as she stared into the distance, her tone slightly cold: “Impossible, stay out of this matter, just do as I told you.”
Tang Sirou pursed her lips and said, “Ok, I understand, Auntie.”
–
On Wednesday, An Xueyin was released.
When Lin Yue saw her, she almost didn’t recognize her.
The usually glamorous person was now disheveled, her face gaunt, under-eye circles extremely dark, lips cracked, and her gaze lifeless and dull…
Lin Yue frowned and finally sighed without saying anything.
An Xueyin didn’t say a word either.
When they returned to the An Family, the servants were also shocked.
Had it not been for Lin Yue, they would have thought a rag-picker had entered the house, with crumpled clothes and emitting a foul odor…
An Xueyin had been wearing the same clothes for five days, without bathing or washing her hair… she had not even slept well for five days…
After getting to her room, she locked herself in and never came out again.
No matter how Lin Yue called, she did not respond.
“Madam, do you think the young miss might do something drastic?” a maid asked anxiously.
Lin Yue’s brow furrowed slightly then relaxed.
“It won’t happen.” she said resolutely.
She knows her daughter’s character better than anyone since she gave birth to her.
“Just let her be alone for a while, have the kitchen prepare some food.”
“Alright, Madam.”
…
Su He also received news about An Xueyin’s release.
However, she wasn’t interested in An Xueyin’s matters.
This time, she felt the hospital was considerably quieter, no longer having to see that person made her feel much more relieved.
As long as the disturbance doesn’t involve her, she didn’t mind.
Su He was signing at the nurse’s station when someone called her from behind, “Susu.”
She turned around and saw Wen Qianyi and Ye Hanqing walking towards her.
Her beautiful eyes subtly flickered with an unusual gleam.
Wen Qianyi enthusiastically introduced Ye Hanqing.
She politely smiled and said, “Indeed, I’ve met Miss Ye a few times.”
Wen Qianyi’s face lit up with surprise, “Really?
Then you two are quite fated.
Hanqing and I were close classmates in childhood, but after I went abroad for high school, we each became busy and rarely kept in touch.
I didn’t expect to meet her today in the hospital.
She’s now a well-known dancer domestically.”
Su He smiled lightly, not expecting these two to know each other.
Ye Hanqing never expected that the person Wen Qianyi wanted to introduce her to was Su He.
Wen Qianyi, pulling Ye Hanqing, said: “Hanqing, you probably haven’t met Susu yet, right?
She works in this hospital, and she is the chief physician of my great-grandfather.
Also, she is the wife of Jiang Yan.”
Her last sentence made Ye Hanqing stunned.
So Su He is Jiang Yan’s mysterious wife?
Although she had seen Su He before, she did not know that she was a daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family.
No wonder, yesterday Lu Zhiyang didn’t agree to his aunt’s request.
She quickly regained her composure, and with a smile on her face, greeted gracefully and gently: “Hello, Miss Su.”
Su He responded indifferently: “Hmm, hello.”
Indeed, compared to Xiaxia, Ye Hanqing is more reserved, while Xiaxia is more lively.
But when it comes to beauty, her Xiaxia is streets ahead of the woman in front of her — there’s just no comparison.
While Wen Qianyi kept talking, Su He didn’t engage much.
Seeing that it was almost time, she said, “I have a meeting in a while, so I can’t accompany you anymore.
Turn right here, there’s a terrace where you can sit and chat.”
She pointed to a corridor on her right.
Wen Qianyi didn’t disturb her further, “Okay, then you go ahead, busy person.
Do you have time for lunch together?”
Su He smiled: “It depends, I might not have time, you know, sometimes we doctors are too busy to even eat.”
The nurse sister behind her heard her words, puzzled, thinking to herself: “That’s odd, Director Su’s meal times are always very punctual.”
Puzzled as she was, she did not voice it out.
As soon as Su He left, Ye Hanqing pulled Wen Qianyi away.
Turning to a corner, Wen Qianyi looked puzzledly at her: “What’s wrong?”
Ye Hanqing hesitated and said, “Do you know who angered my mother-in-law enough to be hospitalized?”
Wen Qianyi lifted her eyelids, thought for a moment: “You’re not going to tell me it was Su He, right?”
The reason she guessed it was Su He was because of the obvious pause Ye Hanqing took upon seeing Su He.
In the cunning business environment, the first thing she needed to master was to observe and read facial expressions, so she felt something was off at that moment but didn’t say anything.
“Yes, it’s her,” Ye Hanqing nodded.
“…”
“Moreover, my mother-in-law has been making a fuss about hiring a lawyer to sue them, but Zhiyang has not taken a stand,” she sighed.
“Them?
Who else is involved?” Wen Qianyi asked curiously.
Ye Hanqing said, “Zhiyang’s ex-girlfriend, Jing Xuan.
However, with Su He’s status, this matter can only be swallowed by my mother-in-law herself.”
Wen Qianyi had heard the name and even seen the person, but did not realize she was Lu Zhiyang’s ex-girlfriend.
She did not ask too much about this from Ye Hanqing, instead joking: “With you mentioning ‘mother-in-law’ so frequently, are you and President Lu already married?”
Ye Hanqing gave a bitter smile.
“Not married yet, he’s been dragging it, but it’s going to happen soon.”
“Oh?” Wen Qianyi asked, “When is it?”
“His mother is picking a date.”
“…”
Meanwhile, Su He, back in her office, received a call from Jing Xuan.
Sitting in her swivel chair, she turned on the speaker and placed the phone on the desk.
The office echoed with Jing Xuan’s crisp yet angry voice: “Baobao, you think he’s seriously ill?”
Without saying who, Su He just casually agreed: “Yes, indeed.”
Then, she angrily continued: “…”
“I think he should go check his brain at a psychiatric department!
He actually asked me to go with him to register for marriage, what audacity to say such things, his brain must be broken!”
After listening for a while, Su He finally heard the key point: “Wait, what did you just say?”
She directly cut her off, “Xiaxia, you mean the thing he wanted to discuss with you that day was this?”
Jing Xuan: “Yes.”
Su He: “Then why are you just telling me now, you didn’t agree, did you?”
Jing Xuan paused, then spoke, “Oh my, I was busy with a company matter these past days, I completely forgot until just now.
Do you think I would agree?”
Su He laughed and said: “Well, that’s not certain.
Who knows if you still have lingering feelings for him, you might have impulsively agreed?”
“Pff, don’t talk nonsense, I am perfectly clear-headed, I am extremely sober!”
Su He laughed a few times.
Suddenly curious, she said: “Why did he bring this up to you?”
Jing Xuan, apparently busy with something on the other end, rustling sounds transmitted, and after a few seconds, she replied: “He told me he doesn’t want to marry Ye Hanqing.
What does that mean?
He doesn’t want to marry Ye Hanqing, what does that have to do with me?
I’m not into recycling old relationships.
I have plenty of young admirers.”
He glanced inside and entered the bathroom.
Six minutes later, he came out.
Su He had not noticed him coming in earlier.
Suddenly, she heard the “click” of the door opening and turned her head around.
She saw the man, dripping wet, with droplets of water still falling from his hair, walking towards her with just a white towel tied around his waist, his exposed muscles taut and strong, his abs firm like a barrier.
She instinctively swallowed her saliva and licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.
She had always known that this man had a good physique, and she had seen it more than once, but every time she saw him, her heart raced and fluttered.
Jiang Yan saw her lying there, her eyes shining bright like stars, unblinkingly staring at him, he slightly curved his thin lips, and in a deep voice, he asked, “Do you like what you see?”
Su He was pulled back to reality by his voice.
She blinked and raised her eyes to his handsome and noble face.
Was he openly seducing her?
She cleared her throat, her voice cool with a slight tremble, “Go get dressed.
If you catch a cold, don’t expect me to care!”
After speaking, she forced herself to look away.
Turning her attention back to her phone.
If she continued to look, things might become uncontrollable.
Yet unexpectedly, the man said, “I’ll have to take it off again soon anyway, it’s too much trouble.”
She retorted, “What, you want to sleep naked?”
“Then you can sleep in the guest room tonight.”
“…”
The man turned and walked to the wardrobe then came out five minutes later.
But before Su He could react, he had already wrapped his arms around her waist, gently rolled over and pinned her beneath him.
“Jiang Yan!”
He buried his head in her neck, bit her earlobe and spoke in a low, magnetic voice filled with allure.
“Wife, I’ve missed you.”
Su He’s scalp tingled, her spine chilled, and her ears went soft.
Her body felt electrified.
Deadly!
She bit her lip, her mind still clear, “No!”
The man didn’t rush, he backed off slightly and said, “Then let me kiss you, I promise I’ll just kiss, won’t use my hands.”
Su He frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt.
While she hesitated, his thin lips covered hers.
He gently bit her lips, then alternated between biting and sucking…
“Ouch!
Jiang Yan, go easy on the biting!”
She cried out in pain, and the moment she opened her mouth, his warm tongue slipped inside.
“…”
Tender and delicate, intimate and comforting.
He kept his word, not using his hands, just kissing, his hot tongue causing chaos in their small universe.
His kissing skills were truly unparalleled, leaving Su He limp and weak, as if she was standing on soft cotton.
…
The hazy moonlight, the night breeze fluttering the thin curtains.
A flash of lightning streaked across the dark sky.
Shortly after, the calm night was interrupted by falling water droplets.
In an instant, the droplets splattered against the window pane.
After a day’s scorching heat, the whole earth had heated up, much like the sudden rise in the room’s temperature that made it unbearable to touch.
This sudden rain nourished the parched land, as welcomed as rain after a long drought.
After all, even the best soil needs careful nurturing to foster new life.
After the rain, the air was significantly fresher, but the room’s air was still scorchingly hot.
From outside, looking through the window, one could behold the sight of watching the winds stir up the clouds, calmly observing the clouds rolling and unfolding.
“…”
The next day.
Su He woke up at eight o’clock.
Immediately five words floated in the sky: She was going to be late!
This was the first time in history!
All because of that man who didn’t keep his word last night!
She really was muddled to believe his nonsense!
She rushed out of her car, but just as she stepped through the hospital gate, someone called out to her, “Su He!”
