"The patient suffered from excessive internal heat and there's nothing serious, but he needs to rest. Considering his age, you children should take good care of his emotions," said the female nurse, holding a medical record. She was standing on one side of the corridor, giving instructions to Lu Yuan while constantly making marks on the record. No one knew exactly what she was doing.
Lu Yuan listened absent - mindedly, nodding from time to time in response.
Just as the nurse finished her instructions and was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and whispered, "The colleague who was on shift with me is still in the dean's office because she didn't watch your brother well. Have you found him yet?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan slightly lifted her chin. Her brown pupils swept across the nurse's face as she looked at her coldly and haughtily.
"We will hold the hospital accountable for this."
After saying this, without giving the nurse a chance to react, she directly pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.
At this moment, Lu Ziqian was still gasping for breath on the bed. The first thing he said when he saw her was to ask her to find someone quickly.
The man gasped heavily, his eyes wide open. "Yuan'er, go find your eldest brother quickly. Make sure he's safe!"
The words "go find the eldest brother" echoed in her ears. Lu Yuan walked forward and covered him with the quilt. The corner of her lips curved into an almost imperceptible arc. Her tone softened, and she sounded more like a well - behaved girl.
Her voice was even gentler than usual. "Father, you should rest well. I'll go find the eldest brother right away."
How could he rest well before finding Lu Jinsheng? Every time he closed his eyes, he could see his son covered in wounds standing in front of him.
Moreover, it was pouring rain outside. Where could he go with his injuries?
Lu Ziqian clenched his fists. Seeing the ward door open and then close, he punched the bed board. He blamed his own weak body.
He gritted his teeth. When he got better, he would surely find out who wanted to murder his son.
...
The rain outside was getting heavier and showed no sign of stopping. Along with thunder and lightning, the power switch in the house tripped.
At this moment, the villa stood in the suburbs, looking extremely gloomy and terrifying.
It was even darker inside the house than outside. Shen Jian could barely make out the approaching outline of the man in front of her.
"Jianyi, stay with me," Pei Xiuyuan murmured in a crazy tone, repeating this sentence over and over again.
She felt like her ears were getting calloused, and her anger was gradually getting out of control.
Shen Jian's injuries were serious. The wounds had torn open again after all the dodging and running just now, but she had no intention of giving in.
As the man got closer, Shen Jian raised her voice and shouted angrily, "Don't move, or I'll kill you!"
In this world, few things and people could affect her emotions. This time, Shen Jian was really angry.
She didn't want to waste any more time here, especially since the person in front of her was a crazy man. Once she got entangled with such a person, it would be very difficult to break free.
"I can stay still. Then come to me by yourself," Pei Xiuyuan opened his arms, as if he was about to hug her. "I can't lose you. I've been looking for you for so long..."
Before he could finish his words.
"Bang!" The bedroom door was kicked open from the outside.
In the darkness, a faint ray of light from a mobile phone shone in, and two figures, one tall and one short, stood at the door.
"Yiyi, I'm late..."
The man's deep and hoarse voice rang in her ear. At this moment, it was as if warmth and security surrounded the woman, protecting her carefully.
This simple sentence "I'm late" finally made Shen Jian let go of all her defenses.
She had never thought that she could be so dependent on someone. She would also feel anxious when she couldn't find him.
Shen Jian stopped thinking about anything else. Her mind was completely occupied by the person in front of her. She threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Her fluffy little head rubbed against the man's chest, making Lu Jinsheng feel ticklish.
"I'm glad you're okay," Shen Jian whispered.
In such a dangerous moment, when both of them were facing danger and might even lose their lives, they were still thinking about each other.
It seemed that it didn't matter what happened to themselves as long as the other person was okay.
Seeing the two of them so intimate, Pei Xiuyuan, who was standing behind the woman, opened his eyes wide. Since his glasses had fallen off accidentally during the fight just now and the room was very dim, his vision was now very blurry.
"Jianyi, who is he?"
Yes, Pei Xiuyuan had never seen this man before. In fact, he was completely unfamiliar with this mask.
In such a dark space, Lu Jinsheng's pale mask looked extremely out of place. Moreover, the empty eye holes were even more chilling.
At the same time, Lu Jinsheng also recognized the other person - it was Pei Xiuyuan!
He had often heard that the young master of the Pei family was in poor health, often resting at home and rarely showing up in public. So the two of them had very few opportunities to meet.
Later, Lu Jinsheng also heard that many years ago, Lu Ziqian and Pei's father were good friends and business partners. However, due to some incidents in the middle, the two families had a falling - out.
Up until now, the two families were still at odds in the business circle. It was a pity that the Pei family had always been managed by Pei's father, whose health was getting worse day by day, and Pei Xiuyuan was his only heir.
At this moment.
Shen Jian could clearly feel that the man in front of her was breathing erratically, as if he was trying hard to hold back some kind of emotion.
A few seconds later, she immediately realized what was going on. She grabbed Lu Jinsheng's arm tightly, raised her head and looked at him. "Don't be impulsive. Control your emotions. You have to overcome them."
The best way to face fear was to confront it directly.
She had studied psychology at Tsinghua University for so long, but in the end, she found that it was of no use to Lu Jinsheng. Even the professors with rich experience gave ambiguous answers.
So, Shen Jian decided to use her own method.
While the two of them were looking at each other.
The man behind them was getting closer step by step. The voice squeezed out from his throat was deep and powerful. "I'm asking you a question. Tell me, who is this man?"
Shen Jian turned her head, but she still didn't let go of the hand that was holding the man. Her voice was cold. "It's none of your business."
"How can it be none of my business?" Pei Xiuyuan staggered as he walked, groping forward step by step. His vision was almost completely blurred. "You're my Juanjuan. Why don't you look at Brother Xiuyuan more?"
Shen Jian didn't answer. Her eyebrows frowned slightly. Up until now, she still couldn't figure out what this man meant.
Just as Pei Xiuyuan was going crazy, the woman who had been sitting on the ground finally couldn't bear it anymore. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Xiuyuan, she's not Juanjuan. Kill her and you'll be able to see Juanjuan!"
