She no longer had the face to look at the two female colleagues standing at the door. Clearly, their expressions were very interesting. Her gaze swept back and forth between Lu Yihan and Xin Yu. One was the young master of the Lu Clan, and the other was the young madam of the Lu Clan. No matter how unhappy she was in her heart, she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on her face. In the end, she finally said, "Sorry," and then obediently left.
As soon as the double doors closed, Xin Yu couldn't help but explode. She reached out and flung Lu Yihan's hand away from her wrist. Her beautiful brows furrowed as she said sternly, "Master Lu, can you please use your brain before you speak? Why are you like this? Are you deliberately trying to make people misunderstand us … "
"Misunderstand?"
Lu Yihan's expression darkened as he took a step closer to Xin Yu. Ignoring Xin Yu's struggles, he simply forced her back against the wall of the elevator. He pinched her chin and interrupted her with a gloomy voice. "Misunderstand us? We're husband and wife. Even if we did something, it's only natural. What can't others say? "
"…"
Xin Yu was so angry that her face turned green. She reached out and forcefully slapped away his hand that was pinching her chin. She retorted through gritted teeth, "Lu Yihan, can't you be a little more mature? I don't know what you're trying to do right now. Do you really dislike me so much that you're thinking of ways to torture me like this? Are you bored or not? Will you feel comfortable letting the whole company see me as a joke? "
"Why would the whole company laugh at you?"
"…"
"I want to get close to you. How can they laugh at you like this?" Lu Yihan seemed to be a little confused. He frowned and looked at Xin Yu. "If that's the case, tell me. If anyone dares to laugh at you, I'll directly sew that person's mouth shut, hm?"
"…"
Xin Yu's head felt like it was going to split open. What did Lu Yihan mean by this? What was he trying to do? He didn't say it clearly, but vaguely, he was revealing some information to her. However, Xin Yu didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it.
She pursed her lips and did not refute his words. Her clear eyes stared at the man in front of her without blinking. Some chaotic thoughts kept jumping in her mind, and at this time, she suddenly thought of Lan Ruoran.
She didn't know why, but when she thought of Lan Ruoran, she actually felt some sympathy for this man.
Does Lu Yihan know what kind of person Lan Ruoran is?
Does he know that five years ago, that woman actually betrayed him? She actually faked her virginity, which showed how deep her thoughts were. However, although she was petty, she wasn't very smart. Qin Fangang told her that when he investigated her, he found out that she had a rich private life. That meant that Lan Ruoran couldn't have only met one Qin Fangang back then. Perhaps there were many other men …
Does Lu Yihan know all this?
That woman whom he doted on so much had done such a thing behind his back. If he knew, with his unruly personality, he wouldn't be able to take it, right?
Or, did he actually already know something, so he was hurt by Lan Ruoran's side. Looking back, he remembered that he still had a wife whom he had married for five years, but whom he had also ignored for five years?
Was he doing all this to take revenge on Lan Ruoran?
…
Xin Yu felt that she was probably crazy to actually think of that. However, too many things had happened recently, one after another. She didn't even have a chance to breathe. Her brain had been in a tense state for a long time, so her thoughts were a little messy. What's more, she had just found out about these things from Qin Fangang, and now she was facing Lu Yihan …
For the first time, she felt like she was standing on a square. Each person occupied one point, and the people standing on the other three points were — Qin Fangang, Lu Yihan, and Lan Ruoran.
It was really … too ridiculous. What a messy relationship.
The elevator reached the 28th floor with a "ding." Xin Yu didn't want to stay in such a small space with Lu Yihan anymore. As soon as the double doors opened, she couldn't wait to walk out of the elevator. Lu Yihan saw that she was avoiding him like she was avoiding a ghost. Naturally, he felt uncomfortable, so he stopped her at the corner of the long corridor.
He didn't rudely tug at her like before. Instead, he furrowed his brows and said with a serious expression, "Leng Xinyu, I really have something to talk to you about. Calm down. I want to talk to you."
Xin Yu pursed her lips and glanced at him. She could hear the sincerity in his words. Her mind was in a daze, but some fragments seemed to flash through. It seemed like Lu Yihan also wanted to have a good talk with her in the text she saw earlier. In the five years since they met and got married, Lu Yihan never seemed to treat her like this. Xin Yu was a little curious. What exactly did he want to talk to me about?
"Dad is waiting for me in my office. If you really have something to talk to me about, I'll call you later."
"The old man is waiting for you?"
Xin Yu nodded.
Lu Yihan muttered to himself for a moment. "I can't explain it clearly over the phone. I'll wait for you in my office. Once you're done talking to the old man, come find me."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards his office.
Xin Yu looked at the man's arrogant back and sighed softly. She reached out her hand and massaged her temples before walking towards her office.
When Xin Yu pushed the door open and walked in, Lu Shiyun was sitting on the small sofa in her office. His crutches were placed beside him and he was holding a cigarette in his hand. Her office didn't have an ashtray, but there was one placed beside Lu Shiyun. It was probably brought in by an employee.
"Dad."
She walked in and closed the door behind her. Before coming to the company, she had washed her face in the hotel bathroom and put on some light makeup, so Lu Yihan didn't see any traces of her crying. Lu Shiyun also didn't notice.
"I just went out to deliver a document. I didn't know you were coming. Dad, would you like something to drink?"
"No need." Lu Shiyun waved his hand and put out the cigarette butt in his hand. "Come and sit down. I went to look for you last night, but you weren't in your room. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about what happened in England and about your father."
Xinyu was a little reserved. She wasn't a person who was good at lying or disguising herself. In the past, when she faced Lu Shiyun, she already had a shadow in her heart. After what happened last night, she was even more nervous.
"… Dad, I was taking a shower last night, so I didn't hear you coming to look for me …"
Xin Yu's heart trembled slightly. She instinctively looked at Lu Shiyun. She remembered very clearly that Lu Shiyun had already asked her this question at the breakfast table. At the time, she said that Lu Yihan wasn't in and that he had something to do. She was taking a shower in her room, so she didn't hear him knocking on the door …
She couldn't understand why Lu Shiyun would suddenly ask her again.
Although it sounded like a casual remark, if she wasn't careful, it would be easy for her to be exposed.
Was she overthinking things? Or … Lu Shiyun was already suspicious of him from the start?
…
"Look at my memory," Ye Zichen said. Lu Shiyun chuckled. He reached out his hand and gestured for Xin Yu to sit down. He smiled and said, "You told me this morning. I've been thinking about your father, so I forgot you told me this morning."
Xin Yu said, "Oh." Her mind was focused on Leng Dongming, so she didn't notice the strange expression that flashed across Lu Shiyun's face. She quickly asked, "Dad, on my father's side … What's the situation? Yesterday, the housekeeper told me that you said it would take another two to three days. "
Lu Shiyun nodded. "There's still a course of treatment. There's only three days left. Once this course of treatment is over, you can go see your father. But Xin Yu, it's best if you don't bring up any sensitive topics, especially what happened five years ago. I don't know why your father became like this, but according to the doctor, when you visited him frequently, he suddenly became agitated and injured you twice. Later on, he even injured the nurse who was taking care of him. The doctor said it was because you told him about what happened five years ago? "
"…"
Xin Yu pursed her lips. Her face was a little pale.
She was weighing the pros and cons in her heart. Should she tell Lu Shiyun about what her father told her?
Actually, it didn't seem like she said anything, but it did feel a little strange. She seemed to have said something that caused her father to suddenly become agitated, but she wasn't sure which words in her words had triggered her father. And what happened five years ago …
It wasn't her who said it, but her father did.
But those words … Should she tell Lu Shiyun?
Xin Yu furrowed her brows and hesitated. Lu Shiyun probably saw the change in her expression and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He coughed softly and spoke in a calm voice, "… Xin Yu, what did your father say to you?"
"… Ah? Oh, nothing. "
Xin Yu answered almost instinctively. Actually, she didn't want to hide anything. After thinking through her thoughts, she still felt that her father didn't really say anything important to her. When she heard her father's words previously, she suspected that her father was sometimes very clear-headed, but the people at the hospital kept giving him tranquilizers …
Xin Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, there's something I want to talk to you about."
"Go ahead."
"… Actually, when I visited my father previously, I felt that he was sometimes clear-headed and would tell me things from the past. But as he talked, he would suddenly become agitated. But that time, when he became agitated, the people at the hospital injected him with tranquilizers."
Xin Yu bit her lip and looked carefully at Lu Shiyun's silent face. "… Dad, can you use other methods to adjust my father's emotions? It's too harmful to his body to keep giving him tranquilizers. Tranquilizers have side effects. "
