Xin Yu slowly organized her thoughts. This situation made her feel like she was in the middle of a "negotiation," but she had unconsciously used this kind of negotiation technique. Perhaps she didn't even realize that in the short span of a month, she had changed a lot. And these changes were all bestowed upon her by a man named Qin Fangang.
"… I have the ability now. I work at the Lu Corporation, and I also get a salary. So, Dad, I want to make a request of you. I hope that after the fifth anniversary, I can bring my own father out of that hospital. I want to take care of him myself."
"…"
Lu Shiyun's expression didn't change, but his grip on the walking stick tightened.
"… Xin Yu, it's not that I don't want to agree, but with your father's current condition, it won't be easy for him to get out. If something really happens, even I won't be able to protect him. You should know that."
In the past, Xinyu didn't want to talk about this topic. But this time, Xinyu didn't want to stop talking about it. Of course, she had her own selfish motives. Back then, when she was at the hospital, she overheard the conversation between Lu Shiyun and that strange man. She only told Qin Fangang about it, but she was still brooding about it. She even wondered if there were a lot of things that she didn't know about, but her father knew about it.
Xin Yu was a little anxious. She frowned and sat up on the bed. "Dad, I know. I'll take responsibility for the consequences! I know it's a little irresponsible of me to say this, but he's still my biological father. He's the only person I have left in this world. I really don't want him to be locked up in that hospital forever. Dad, I … "
As Xin Yu spoke, her eyes turned red. Lu Yihan watched her from the side. Her face was pale, and her large eyes were filled with tears. She really did look quite pitiful. His throat was a little hot. By the time he realized what he was doing, he had already reached out and grabbed Xin Yu's wrist. He stood tall and straight in front of her. He looked at Lu Shiyun and said, "… Since she said so, you should agree."
Lu Shiyun was speechless.
Lu Yihan saw that his father didn't look too good. There was a hint of gloom between his eyebrows. The first thing that came to his mind was that he was worried that Xin Yu wouldn't be able to take care of an elder who had already gone crazy. He immediately squeezed Xin Yu's shoulder and looked down at Xin Yu. He said, "That's enough. If you're worried that she won't be able to take care of him alone, I'll take care of him too. After all, he's my father-in-law."
"Now you remember that he's your father-in-law. It seems like you haven't visited him much in the past five years." Lu Shiyun sneered coldly.
"…"
Xin Yu reached out and brushed away Lu Yihan's hand from her shoulder. She flipped over and stood in front of Lu Shiyun. "… Dad, I only have one request. I hope you can fulfill it."
"This isn't something that I can decide on my own."
Lu Shiyun coughed softly. He seemed to weigh the pros and cons in his heart before he slowly said, "Although the hospital belongs to the Lu Clan, the doctors there aren't my people. They're all licensed. What they do isn't something that we can control. Xin Yu, Dad hopes that you can understand my difficulties. Of course, since you're so filial, I'll definitely help you."
Xin Yu's face lit up. Lu Shiyun then said, "… How about this? You and Yihan can enjoy this five year anniversary a little. Although you made that kind of news before, I've already made arrangements. There will be a lot of reporters present tonight. When the time comes, their questions won't be too harsh. Yihan was already very unreasonable before, so you don't have to worry about how to answer the reporters' questions tonight. Yihan knows very well in his heart. You just have to cooperate with him."
Xin Yu pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She knew that she couldn't refuse, but she still didn't feel good about it.
Lu Shiyun probably saw that she was reluctant, so he said, "Xin Yu, because of the previous news report, the Lu Clan has been greatly affected. Tonight is your fifth year anniversary, so you have to cooperate well. Let the world think that you're a loving couple. As long as you do this well, I'll help you think of a way to deal with your father's situation."
Xin Yu's eyes lit up. Almost instinctively, she opened her mouth and said, "… Really? Dad, does that mean you agree? "
"I agree, but I can't be sure whether it'll succeed or not. I'll do my best."
Xin Yu thought that since Lu Shiyun had already said this, it meant that there wasn't much of a problem. When she thought about how she could live with her father in the future and take care of him, she finally felt a little relieved. She finally nodded in agreement. "Okay, Dad. I agree."
Lu Yihan was speechless.
Although the woman beside him had agreed to attend their fifth wedding anniversary, the feeling in his heart was as if a few drops of salt water had suddenly been splashed onto the wound that she had ruthlessly cut open. It was unbearable.
To let her attend, and to make such a deal with the old man.
This was undoubtedly a stark reminder to him that their marriage was a deal from the beginning to the end, and Leng Dongming was the most important person.
…
It was indeed a deal. In the past, he had never cared about a deal. Now, when he thought about it, he actually felt so uncomfortable.
8: 20 pm.
At the Century Hotel in D City.
The status of the Lu Group in D City was quite prominent. Lu Shiyun had already decided before that he would make a big fuss on the fifth anniversary of the Lu Group. It just so happened that so many things had happened before. Now it seemed that even if it was a bit of a show, the things that the rich and powerful families did were just for outsiders to see.
As long as this show was done well, outsiders would naturally spread good rumors.
…
In the hotel room, Xin Yu had already dressed up. She stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at herself in it. For a moment, she really felt like a stranger.
The saying 'clothes make the man' was not false at all. Xinyu's facial features originally belonged to the more delicate type. At first glance, it wouldn't be stunning, but the more one looked at it, the more interesting it was. Especially when it came to her movements, it always exuded a very unique charm. And now, she was specially invited by the Lu family to dress her up. After meticulously dressing her up, the word 'stunning' could be pasted on her.
Her originally fair skin was now even more delicate and smooth. Her pair of clear eyes were outlined with a hint of charm. She was already wearing a long red dress. The design was very simple, but it did not lose its elegance. The top of the dress clung to her skin. Xin Yu's chest was very beautiful. This kind of close-fitting design made her chest even more full and seductive. The back of the dress was designed in an upside-down triangular shape. The hem of the dress fell to the top of the instep. Her skin was fair. When she wore this long red dress, it exuded a mature, charming, sexy, and at the same time, it gave off the feeling that belonged only to her, Leng Xinyu, incisively and vividly.
"Lady Lu, you can wear these shoes."
The designer's assistant brought over the pair of high heels that had been prepared. They were black and had a simple design. However, the shoes were embedded with many sparkling diamonds. One look and one could tell that they were expensive.
Xin Yu did not usually wear high heels. When she looked at this pair of high heels, she suddenly felt a lingering fear.
"… Is there anything else?"
"No, I'll take this pair."
Just as Xin Yu opened her mouth, Lu Yihan's voice interrupted her. She was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, she saw a well-dressed man standing in front of her.
Lu Yihan belonged to the category of good-looking rich young masters. Actually, no matter what he wore, it would be able to set off his unique and unrestrained aura. However, today, he wore a formal black suit with a white shirt inside. It made him look more mature.
Xin Yu averted her gaze from his face emotionlessly. Lu Yihan looked at her, but his gaze was a little dazed.
He never knew that the most beautiful woman had always been by his side. She could be so charming that he couldn't take his eyes off her the moment he laid his eyes on her. There was even a restless feeling in his body that was recklessly colliding with her.
…
"Young Master Han, Young Madam, it's about to start outside."
Someone came in, stood at the door, and knocked to remind the two of them.
Lu Yihan coughed softly and said that he got it. He turned sideways and happened to see Xin Yu putting on her shoes. He could not help but walk over to help her. Xin Yu had just put on two pairs of shoes when she felt the man's large palm gently land on her waist. She felt uncomfortable all over and instinctively stood to the side. "… What are you doing?"
"…"
There were two designers and a small assistant standing by the side. When they heard Xin Yu's distant and cold words, they suddenly felt a little awkward.
Lu Yihan's expression naturally did not look any better. However, he controlled his temper and did not throw a tantrum. With a cold expression, he only asked the others to quickly leave the room. Then he said to Xin Yu in a deep voice, "… I already said that today is our wedding anniversary. Can't you change your attitude a little?"
Xin Yu was speechless.
She clearly wanted to say something, but when she heard Lu Yihan's tone just now, she did not know why, but she felt that this Young Master, who used to be so arrogant and insufferably arrogant in front of her, was now speaking to her with a hint of humility and pleading that could not be concealed.
She was not a cold-blooded animal, but she could not respond to what he wanted. She could only stiffly turn her face away.
"… You should know that I really don't want to attend such a boring anniversary. Also, you should know that the reason I'm attending is because of my father …"
"Enough!"
Lu Yihan suddenly stepped forward and reached out to press Xin Yu's shoulder. He gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice, "I don't like to hear words. From this second onwards, shut up!"
"…"
"I know that because of me, you were inexplicably grounded for two days. But Xin Yu, if I were to tell you that in exchange for this kind of confinement, you and I are acting lovey-dovey in front of everyone, I actually don't regret it at all."
"Lu Yihan, you …"
"From now on, when we walk out of this room, there will be countless people watching us being lovey-dovey. Wifey, you have to call me hubby."
