How proud of a man was he? He was invincible and invincible. But now, he realized that his existence was a joke. He still had to face the woman he loved deeply every day. She was that man's daughter.
Liang Feifan had never felt like this before. He was in an abyss of suffering, suffering, truly suffering.
He didn't want to hurt her, but he couldn't face her right away.
So, the only way left was to send her away.
He needed a little bit of time … a little bit of time, so that he could accept all of this and digest all of it.
The cigarette between his fingers had burned to the end. Liang Feifan's lonely gaze fell on a spot of red. He gently flicked the ash off the cigarette and threw it into a trash can not far from the car door. Then, he took out another cigarette and lit it up.
He repeated this action for more than two hours in the car. He felt that the tip of his tongue was a little numb. When he reached out to touch the cigarette pack on the dashboard, he realized that he had smoked all the cigarettes in the pack.
He reached out to massage his aching temples. He crumpled the cigarette box into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Then, he started the engine and started the car.
"President Chu, this is the latest news."
The assistant placed a stack of photos on Chu Weiye's desk. He randomly picked one of them. It was a photo of Liang Feifan carrying Bai Lu into the hospital. Chu Weiye's expression turned serious. "She's in the hospital?"
"She was sent to the hospital after leaving the venue," the assistant explained. The assistant explained, "But I've already asked someone to investigate. Miss Bai is fine. She was just too emotional and probably too tired, so she fainted." Chu Weiye casually threw the photo aside and frowned. "Where is she now?"
"She's still in the hospital."
"She's hospitalized?"
"Liang Feifan arranged for her to stay in the hospital for three days. The doctor said that she's fine now."
"Send someone to keep an eye on her."
The assistant nodded and paused for a moment before saying, "CEO Chu, there's one more thing … This morning, I received a call from the Ye Group. It was from Ye Zijie's secretary. He said that Ye Zijie is very interested and wants to meet you, CEO Chu. Do you think …"
Chu Weiye raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed. "Ye Zijie, that old fox wants to meet me? Haha … "
The assistant didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, Far East had always been independent. They didn't associate themselves with the Liang Clan or have anything to do with the Ye Clan. But now that the Liang Clan and Ye Zijie had fallen out, President Chu had ordered them to release the news that they wanted to collaborate with the Liang Clan. was obviously to go against the Ye clan.. Now that Ye Zijie had come, it was definitely because of this.
"Isn't today the third day?" Chu Weiye's slender fingers played with a fountain pen. The expensive fountain pen moved freely between his long fingers. His voice was calm as he said, "What about Liang Feifan's side? Has there been any movement? "
"No."
The assistant shook his head. "The Liang Clan has been very quiet recently because Liang Feifan promised them five days. I think those people should be waiting for five days. But because we released the news that we want to collaborate with the Liang Clan, they are all waiting for the last few days. "
The fountain pen in his hand clicked. Chu Weiye's slender index finger gently pressed against it. He smiled and said, "In that case, why don't we meet that old fox, Ye Zijie?"
The assistant was actually a little unsure of what this big boss was planning. But he was sure of one thing — Bai Lu.
Chu Weiye's interest in Bai Lu was a man's interest in a woman. This was the first time in all the years that he had been by his boss's side that he had seen him care so much about a woman.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
She had been lying on the hospital bed for a long time. Her head was groggy and she kept wanting to sleep.
Bai Lu couldn't remember how many times she had tossed and turned before falling asleep. After Liang Feifan left, he didn't come back. She rolled out of bed and walked to the window. She glanced outside and saw that the sky was already dark.
Actually, ever since the two of them had met, all the things that they had gone through, and even now, he had never treated her like this — avoiding her.
Yes, avoiding her.
Bai Lu knew very well that Liang Feifan was avoiding her. She didn't know what had happened, but he couldn't wait to send her off. So what if he said it nicely? As the person involved, how could she not feel his attitude towards her?
…
The door of the ward behind her was suddenly pushed open and footsteps could be heard. Bai Lu was delighted. She thought that it was Liang Feifan, but when she turned around, she saw someone else. She was shocked. "Mom, you … why are you here?"
Bai Lu went forward and raised her wrist to look at the time. It was already past nine in the evening.
Chin Jin-hee entered the ward and placed her bag on the sofa. She went forward and carefully sized up Bai Lu before sighing. "If I didn't come, you wouldn't have told me?"
"… Mom, I'm fine. But how did you know that I was here?"
"I saw the news!" Chin Jin-hee said, "I knew that you participated in the design competition, so I went to see the news today. Who knew that something like that would happen? The reporter said that it was Feifan who sent you to the hospital. Where is he?"
Bai Lu looked around but didn't see Liang Feifan in the ward. She hurriedly said, "… He just left. Something came up at the company. I'm fine now and can be discharged at any time."
"Did you two have a fight?"
Chin Jin-hee was experienced, so she could tell what her daughter was thinking at a glance. She asked her to sit on the bed, so she sat down. "Don't try to hide it from me. I saw the news. Did he want to send you abroad to study at SGA?"
Since her mother already knew about it, Bai Lu didn't intend to hide it anymore. She nodded and said softly, "… Mom, I don't want to go at all. Besides, we already talked about it. I said I didn't want to go, and he agreed. Now, he's suddenly doing this. When I asked him why, he wouldn't say anything. He just kept saying that it was for my own good."
Chin Jin-hee thought it was something serious. When she heard her daughter say this, she couldn't help but chuckle. "Then he's really doing it for your own good. Although I don't know much about design, I know that SGA is the school that many designers dream of going to. Why wouldn't you go?"
The truth was, she had never told her daughter that SGA was the school that her father, Bai Yi, had always wanted to go to. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance. Now that her daughter was going, it made up for his regret.
"Bai Lu, don't think too much about it. If a man can wholeheartedly care about you, it means that he really loves you. I can tell that Feifan really cares about you."
Bai Lu bit her lip. She twisted her fingers together. It wasn't that she couldn't understand what her mother was saying. She couldn't deny that she would definitely get what she dreamed of if she accepted this arrangement. But … that wasn't the most important thing right now.
Bai Lu suppressed everything in her heart. She couldn't find a channel to talk about it. She felt terrible and depressed. Now that Chin Jin-hee was right in front of her, the mother and daughter always had something to talk about. She couldn't help but grumble softly, "… I know he's doing it for my sake, but … I think he's a little strange. I suspect he's hiding something from me."
"Huh?" Chin Jin-hee gestured for her daughter to continue.
Bai Lu sighed and finally said, "Actually, everything was fine before. But the night before yesterday, he suddenly said that he was going to Wan Sheng Hotel to talk to Buck about this. He didn't come back the whole night. I looked for him for a day and a night, but there was no news. He's never like this. Who knew that he would appear at such an occasion? It was hard for me not to be agitated."
Chin Jin-hee was still holding Bai Lu's hand, but she suddenly tightened her grip. She had always been a calm and indifferent person, but at this moment, a trace of obvious panic flashed across her face. "… Where did you say he went yesterday?"
"To look for Buck, of course."
Bai Lu frowned. Her hand hurt from being held so tightly. She struggled for a moment and pulled her hand away. "Mom, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell? "
"Bai Lu, you just said that Feifan … Which hotel did he go to last night?" Chin Jin-hee didn't answer but asked instead. Bai Lu had never seen her mother so nervous since she was a child. A big question mark appeared above her head. She moved her lips and said in hindsight, "… Wan Sheng Hotel."
Qin Zhenxi suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed. The expression on her face seemed to be even more panicked.
"… Mom."
Bai Lu also stood up, but Chin Jin-hee had already reached out and pressed her shoulder. She forced herself to control her expression, but her voice was obviously trembling. "… I'm fine."
"But you don't look well."
Chin Jin-hee quickly lowered her eyes. Bai Lu reached out to hold her mother's hand on her shoulder. Only then did she realize that her mother's hand was cold. She frowned even more. "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
What was wrong with the people around her recently? Why were they acting so strangely all of a sudden? What had happened that she didn't know about?
Although Bai Lu wasn't a particularly sensitive person, she wasn't completely clueless. First, it was Liang Feifan, then it was her mother. She had already keenly sensed that something must have happened that she didn't know about.
"What could I be hiding from you?" Chin Jin-hee smiled weakly and reluctantly comforted Bai Lu. "Don't think too much. Don't just stand there. Sit down. I didn't eat when I first came here. Let's go out and get something to eat. Is there a restaurant downstairs?"
"… Yes."
"Okay. I'll come back later." Chin Jin-hee walked to the door and suddenly thought of something. She seemed to want to sound more convincing. She asked Bai Lu, "Have you eaten? Do you want me to bring some up for you? "
Bai Lu glanced at her mother and shook her head. "It's okay. I'm not very hungry. Besides, there's food at the hospital."
Chin Jin-hee nodded and walked away absent-mindedly.
