The doctor adjusted his glasses. "There's a possibility of recovery, but he needs proper care. I've had several patients like him before, and they gradually recovered later. However, generally speaking, they weren't as sharp as before. So, please be mentally prepared." That was all he could say.
"I understand," Yun Chuchu replied listlessly.
After seeing the doctor out of the ward, she came back and slumped into a chair. Looking at Lu Luochen's innocent eyes, she never would have thought that he would end up like this.
"Lu Luochen, will you ever recover?" she murmured to herself.
"Sister, what are you saying? I'm thirsty," Lu Luochen said, looking at her.
"Got it." Yun Chuchu walked over, poured him a glass of water, and placed it on the table.
"Do you still remember Wen Sining?" This was what she was most concerned about at the moment.
Lu Luochen shook his head.
Yun Chuchu finally felt relieved. She didn't want to stay with Lu Luochen for another minute, let alone take care of someone. With that in mind, she stood up, pretended to check the time, then looked up at Lu Luochen and said, "Sister has to go to work. Can you stay here by yourself for a while? I'll ask your assistant to come."
"Assistant? What's an assistant? I've never heard of it," Lu Luochen asked stupidly.
"You'll know in the future. I have to go to work now. I'll come to see you later. I'm leaving."
Lu Luochen nodded blankly.
Yun Chuchu picked up her bag and left the ward. Once outside, she called Jin Yihao and asked him to come to the hospital. She briefly told him what had happened that night and mentioned that Lu Luochen's intelligence was now impaired.
Her words startled Jin Yihao. He put down his work and rushed out in his car.
After telling Jin Yihao everything, Yun Chuchu left the hospital.
When Jin Yihao arrived, he went straight to Lu Luochen's ward. Seeing Lu Luochen lying in bed with a white bandage around his head, he felt an indescribable emotion. Remembering what Yun Chuchu had said, he asked cautiously, "Mr. Lu, do you still remember who I am?"
Lu Luochen glanced at him and said, "I just got hit. My brain isn't stupid. Don't look at me like I'm an idiot."
Hearing this, Jin Yihao knew that Lu Luochen's intelligence hadn't declined. He let out a sigh of relief and pulled a stool over to sit beside Lu Luochen's bed.
"So, you were pretending to be stupid to fool Yun Chuchu on purpose."
Lu Luochen nodded. "By the way, keep this from the company's directors."
Jin Yihao nodded. Naturally, these things couldn't be known by those people. If they found out, they would surely cause a ruckus in the company.
"Mr. Lu, will you go to the company tomorrow?"
"Yes." If he didn't go, it would surely arouse the suspicion of those directors. He knew there were a few people who were dissatisfied with him and were secretly watching him.
Jin Yihao nodded.
What had happened to Lu Luochen in the bar was photographed and posted online.
Wen Sining didn't see this until lunch break the next day. She never expected that someone like Lu Luochen would be beaten up like this. She felt a twinge of worry, but then thought that he had Yun Chuchu to take care of him. It would be ridiculous for her to worry. She put away her phone, but couldn't stop thinking about Lu Luochen. She shook her head, trying to get rid of the thought, but to no avail. In the end, she could only distract herself with work.
Grandpa Lu also learned about this from the internet. He was furious. Since Lu Luochen had started associating with Yun Chuchu, he often saw him in such tabloid news.
This made Grandpa Lu very angry. He took out his phone and called Lu Luochen, but there was no answer. He got even angrier.
If Lu Luochen kept acting like this, how could he win Wen Sining back?
Grandpa Lu said to Uncle Bai, "Let's go to the company." He didn't believe he couldn't find Lu Luochen.
Uncle Bai drove Grandpa Lu to Lu Luochen's company.
Although Yun Chuchu was dissatisfied with Lu Luochen's current state, after all, he was the president of the Lu Group. She would surely find a way to cure him.
When Grandpa Lu arrived at the company, he went straight to Lu Luochen's office.
Jin Yihao had just come out of Lu Luochen's office with some documents. Seeing Grandpa Lu coming in a rage, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Grandpa, why are you here? I'll go and make you a cup of your favorite tea."
"Where's Lu Luochen? Is he in his office?" Grandpa Lu walked straight towards the office.
Jin Yihao quickly followed. Looking at Grandpa Lu's expression, he knew that he must have come to cause trouble for Lu Luochen. But it was too late to tip Lu Luochen off. He could only watch Grandpa Lu go in.
Lu Luochen, who was sitting in the office playing Chinese checkers with Yun Chuchu, shouted, "Grandpa" as soon as he saw Grandpa Lu come in.
Grandpa Lu was startled by Lu Luochen's tone. Lu Luochen rarely addressed him like that. It gave him goosebumps.
"What are you playing during working hours? And you, why do you keep following Lu Luochen around like a ghost?" Grandpa Lu immediately scolded.
Seeing Grandpa Lu, Yun Chuchu said, "Grandpa, you're here. I was going to visit you when I had time."
Grandpa Lu blew his beard in anger. "No need."
"Grandpa, come and play chess with me," Lu Luochen walked over, grabbed Grandpa Lu's arm, and shook it a few times.
Grandpa Lu also noticed that Lu Luochen was acting strangely, like a child. He turned to Jin Yihao and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu was hit on the head with a wine bottle. He has a cranial injury, which has caused his intelligence to decline," Jin Yihao was caught off guard by being called on. He didn't expect Lu Luochen to even deceive Grandpa. But then he thought it made sense. After all, Yun Chuchu was still there. If he didn't play along, he would surely be exposed.
"Serves him right!" Grandpa Lu said without any concern for Lu Luochen in his voice. Then he looked at Yun Chuchu. "Take good care of him. And don't come to the company for a while."
Jin Yihao nodded.
"Okay, Grandpa. Don't worry. I'll surely take good care of Lu Luochen," Yun Chuchu readily agreed, but in her heart, she thought otherwise. She had always disliked children, thinking they were extremely annoying. But now she had no choice but to agree.
