She now looked deathly pale. If she ate any more, it would surely endanger her life.
Meanwhile, Wen Sining had been keeping a close eye on her, curious to see if she would indeed have an allergic reaction to the mangoes.
But to her surprise, Yun Chuchu had already taken several bites, yet there were no visible changes on the exposed parts of her skin. Generally speaking, one would show an immediate reaction upon contact with an allergen. Could it be that Aunt Jiang was wrong?
Just as she was deep in thought, Yun Chuchu suddenly stood up. "Ms. Wen, Lu Xuan, I just remembered I have some urgent matters to attend to. I'll take my leave first."
"Sure, go ahead and get your work done." Wen Sining didn't get to see what she wanted. Since there was no point in keeping her there, she let her go.
Yun Chuchu rose to her feet. Her palms were covered in cold sweat, and so was her back.
Watching her departing figure, Wen Sining picked up her phone and sent a message.
[Follow Yun Chuchu. Keep me informed of her whereabouts and any developments.]
[Yes, ma'am.]
Wen Sining then casually placed her phone back on the side.
After leaving the dessert shop, Yun Chuchu got into her car and drove straight to the nearest hospital.
After Yun Chuchu left, only Wen Sining and Lu Xuan were left in the dessert shop. They chatted for a while before Wen Sining said, "I have a meeting this afternoon. I'll have to leave first."
Lu Xuan didn't suspect anything and simply nodded.
Wen Sining left the dessert shop and headed back to the company.
Lu Xuan sat there for a while longer. Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Yun Chuchu calling. He glanced around and then answered the call.
As soon as he picked up, Yun Chuchu's voice came through the phone. "Are you free to talk?" She had just left the hospital.
"What's up? Go ahead."
Yun Chuchu then said, "I'm allergic to mangoes."
"What!" He had no idea about this. Remembering Wen Sining's actions just now, he knew something was wrong. "How are you now? Try to stay out of sight of Lu Luochen and Wen Sining for the next few days."
Yun Chuchu said she understood, and then they hung up.
Lu Xuan held his phone tightly. It seemed that Wen Sining had started to suspect Yun Chuchu. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done this. He had to find a way to dispel her doubts.
Wen Sining didn't actually have a meeting. She got into her car and thought of Lu Luochen, who was still on her blacklist. She unblocked him. She didn't block him out of malice but just wanted to teach him a lesson, to see if he would ever dare to do such a thing again.
After unblocking him, she sent him a message to tell him about Yun Chuchu's allergic reaction to mangoes. But when she sent it, she saw a red exclamation mark and a small line of text below it, which read, "The message has been sent, but the recipient has blocked you."
Wen Sining rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things. Only then did she realize that Lu Luochen had blocked her.
She then dug out his number from her contacts and called him, but there was no answer. It seemed that calling him was out of the question. Helpless, she had no choice but to drive to Lu Luochen's company to find out what was going on.
On the way, the person Wen Sining had arranged to follow Yun Chuchu sent her a message, which was a picture of a hospital. She took a look and knew that her hunch was right. Yun Chuchu had just been toughing it out. This also confirmed her suspicion.
Soon, the car pulled up in front of the Lu Group. She opened the door and got out. As she entered, the receptionist was about to stop her, but when she saw who it was, she immediately fell silent.
Wen Sining took the elevator straight to the president's office. When she got off, Jin Yihao was waiting outside. He immediately stepped forward to greet her.
"Madam."
Wen Sining nodded. "Is Lu Luochen in his office?" She pointed in the direction of the office.
"Mr. Lu is in a meeting. Please wait in the office for a while, madam." Jin Yihao said.
"Okay." With that, she pushed open the door and walked in.
Although it had been a long time since she last visited, his office remained unchanged. Wen Sining picked up a book on economics from the bookshelf and flipped through it casually.
When Lu Luochen came out of the meeting room, Jin Yihao immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam is here."
Lu Luochen raised his eyebrows. She should be with Lu Xuan at this time. How did she find the time to come here?
Thinking this way, he pushed open the door of the office and, sure enough, saw Wen Sining sitting inside.
He turned to Jin Yihao and said, "I have a business dinner later. Take her home first."
After saying that, he walked straight towards his desk, completely ignoring Wen Sining.
His words put Jin Yihao in a difficult position. He didn't dare to offend either his boss or his boss's wife.
"Even if you have a dinner to attend, you should at least listen to what I have to say. I really have something important to tell you, or I wouldn't have come all the way here." Wen Sining said. She had no idea what Lu Luochen was thinking at this moment.
"We'll talk after I'm done with my work." After sitting down, Lu Luochen picked up a document from the shelf and pretended to be very busy.
Wen Sining was in no mood to care about his mood. She blurted out, "Yun Chutong is not dead."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lu Luochen's hand stopped flipping through the document. He looked up at her and asked, "Why do you say so?"
"I went to Aunt Jiang's place before. She mentioned that Yun Chuchu is allergic to mangoes. I tested her today and had someone follow her. I found out that she went to the hospital." Wen Sining told him the whole story.
After listening, Lu Luochen didn't think it was a big deal. Although he sometimes suspected it, there was no solid evidence.
"So what?"
Wen Sining indeed didn't have Yun Chuchu's medical report. A single photo wasn't enough to prove anything. "Let's go to that hospital now. We're bound to find out the truth."
Looking at her determined eyes, Lu Luochen somehow agreed.
Just like that, the two of them went to the hospital. They were greeted as soon as they entered.
Based on the information provided by Wen Sining, the doctor retrieved Yun Chuchu's medical report for them.
The two of them took it and looked at it. "The result is normal." Lu Luochen caught sight of the test result. This meant that Yun Chuchu wasn't allergic to mangoes at all.
"How could this be?" Wen Sining looked at the report with suspicion. She couldn't believe it.
What they didn't know was that before they arrived, Lu Xuan had already swapped out Yun Chuchu's real report. So the one they had in their hands was a fake.
