Li Aotian left in disgrace, but the hospital room fell into a silence.
"Daughter, is this hospital really opened by your family?"
Zhao Zhenzhu asked cautiously.
Chi Yueshan grabbed her hand and said with an approachable smile.
"Of course not."
It's just that her uncle is the director.
Phew—
Zhao Zhenzhu let out a sigh of relief.
Chi Yueshan glanced at the extremely ashamed Grandpa Li on the side, pressed a button to call a nurse to rearrange his IV tube.
She could see it.
This Grandpa Li was a pretty good person. It was just that the son he raised was a little off in the head.
Zhao Henmei was silent for a moment, then asked with confusion,
"Daughter, do you really know my good grandson?"
Chi Yueshan nodded obediently and said without a blush or a skip in her heartbeat.
"Yes, I do. I even have his WeChat. I can show it to Grandpa and Grandma."
Saying that...
Chi Yueshan opened the WeChat interface. The last message she had sent to Lu Xing was a cute sticker.
Mm.
Thankfully, there were no inappropriate remarks. Otherwise, it would have been really hard to explain.
Seeing that she even had his WeChat, Zhao Henmei and Zhao Zhenzhu were completely convinced.
However...
Why was Lu Xing the only contact in Chi Yueshan's WeChat?
Chi Yueshan explained naturally.
"I'm a book fan of Lu Xing. He writes very well. It's normal for me to only add him."
"As for why he's unwilling to show his book to the people around him..."
Chi Yueshan smiled and asked.
"Grandpa, are you willing to show Lu Xing all the love letters you wrote to Grandma before?"
Zhao Henmei was taken aback for a moment, and for a rare moment, the tough guy showed a hint of shyness, then shook his head.
That stuff is too private.
Chi Yueshan nodded and said, "That's how it is."
"Lu Xing probably feels it would be a little shameful to show it to the close people around him."
Zhao Henmei suddenly understood.
He had seen on the news last time that a young man who was hit by a car had endured the pain to get up and format his phone.
One must leave a clean reputation in the world.
Zhao Henmei understood. His good grandson probably wrote some things in the book that were not in line with his own personality.
His good grandson was afraid he would feel strange after reading it.
The last doubts in the two old folks' hearts were also dispelled. Chi Yueshan secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Sigh.
The lies she had told today had exceeded the standard.
But...
Chi Yueshan looked at the grandpa and grandma in front of her, who were concerned about her face, and suddenly understood why Lu Xing wanted to make money.
Good kid.
A real man.
I like him even more.
Zhao Henmei said with a smile, "Daughter, since you're friends with my good grandson, you can just call me Grandpa Zhao."
"Okay, Grandpa Zhao." Chi Yueshan called out softly and sweetly.
Wait.
Not right!
Why is Lu Xing's grandpa's surname Zhao?!
...
Half an hour later
Chi Yueshan stared at the medical record in front of her for a long time without speaking.
Chi Shui paced around anxiously on the side, his head buzzing, full of regret.
"No wonder, no wonder Lu Xing is short of money."
"Ahhhhhh!"
"I really deserve to die. It's not like he needs the money for himself. I really, I really..."
Chi Shui had never met someone like Lu Xing before.
His life had been privileged and smooth. Of course, he didn't understand why Lu Xing would sell his soul like this.
But now.
Chi Shui understood.
When he saw the medical record, his whole body was as if it had been struck by lightning.
These past few years, how on earth did Lu Xing get through it?
Chi Shui didn't dare to think, nor could he imagine.
He would want to have a one-on-one fight offline if he encountered a trash-talker in a game of Honor of Kings.
Lu Xing, on the other hand, didn't fight or talk back to his clients and even had to eagerly coax them.
Chi Yueshan covered her forehead with both hands, squinted at the ceiling light, and only felt her eyes go dizzy.
He, he...
How could he be like this? How could he be like this!
Chi Yueshan's heart was now beating so fast she was about to vomit. Every moment she had spent with Lu Xing was incredibly clear.
No wonder.
Chi Yueshan closed her eyes and let out a self-deprecating laugh.
"No wonder he was willing to take my money to send me away that day. So it was because he was afraid of disturbing Grandpa and Grandma."
"Sis, what should we do, what should we do!" Chi Shui was dying of anxiety.
An unprecedented sense of guilt completely drowned him.
Chi Yueshan smiled coldly.
"What else can we do? In a couple of days, say the hospital wards are being upgraded, and change all the wards on that floor. It's not suitable for Grandpa to live with that Grandpa Li anymore. That Grandpa Li's son is too manic."
Chi Shui was shocked. "No way!"
"Brother-in-law was already unwilling for you to disturb Grandpa and Grandma. If you do this, he will be angry..."
Chi Yueshan squinted her eyes, her brain clearer than ever before.
"When Lu Xing talks to me, he always twists and turns and leads my train of thought astray."
"I thought about it later. He was doing it on purpose."
"Lu Xing doesn't believe I have feelings for him, so he defines my feelings as guilt."
"He is not being used to being loved!"
Heh.
Chi Yueshan let out a light laugh. Suddenly, it was as if something had broken through the clouds and seen the light.
Lu Xing was very good.
So good that he was unwilling to hurt any of his clients.
So good that he would rather wear out his own heart than let a client go astray.
Chi Yueshan straightened up, her long black hair drawing an arc in the air.
She took a hairpin from her bag, gathered all three thousand strands of her black hair together, and said calmly.
"Lu Xing is a coward."
"He doesn't dare to admit that I like him."
"He's afraid."
"He's afraid that what I like is the Lu Xing in the act, not the real Lu Xing."
Chi Yueshan tied up her hair and stood up with her bag.
"But unfortunately."
"I just like him, no matter which side of him."
"If I really liked the obedient him in the act, then when he showed his indifferent side to me, I should have left."
"But I didn't."
Chi Yueshan suddenly discovered that Lu Xing was not as at ease as he appeared.
Lu Xing's experiences had made him build high walls around his heart. He didn't believe that besides his grandpa and grandma, anyone else would love the real him.
Chi Yueshan let out a light laugh, looking at her elegant and beautiful face in the mirror.
She was so stupid.
So stupid to have only realized this now.
Chi Shui said with a worried face, "But sis, you have no relationship with your brother-in-law anymore. Any of his clients are closer than you."
Chi Yueshan let out a light laugh.
"But what I came into contact with was the real Lu Xing. The Lu Xing who can get angry, can be anxious, and has a human touch."
Lu Xing's other clients, wouldn't they feel that Lu Xing's performance in front of them is very superficial?
Chi Shui still didn't agree. "You're licking blood from the edge of a knife."
Chi Yueshan said calmly.
"Then let him stab me to death."
Seeing Chi Yueshan about to go out, Chi Shui asked anxiously, "Sis, where are you going?!"
Chi Yueshan turned her head, her clear eyes flowing, her red lips slowly spitting out a few words.
"To find him."
Ding—
Lu Xing, who was buried in Auntie Wen's embrace, received a message on his phone.
Whoops.
It's over!
Lu Xing's heart skipped a beat.
Chi Yueshan is coming to settle accounts with him!
No!
What's wrong with your theater? You're so famous now, haven't they arranged any work for you?!
