Lu Mingyu widened his eyes, looking like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, unable to believe it. “You must be joking with me. There’s no way Lu Yang would be with Jiang Yanzhou. It’s impossible. That’s absolutely impossible!”
Chen Su responded, “Anyone can see how different Jiang Yanzhou is with Lu
Yang.”
Lu Mingyu asked, “Why can’t I see it?”
Chen Su replied, “You’re as pure as a blank sheet of paper. It would be strange if you could see it!”
“This situation is too strange. No, I have to call Yangyang and find out what’s going on. ”
Lu Mingyu picked up his phone but hesitated when he looked at the number he could recite by heart.
“Yang yng might be busy. I shouldn’t disturb her. Should I call Jiang Yanzhou?
No. This matter needs to be discussed in person. If he really has feelings for my sister, calling him would be like alerting him, and I absolutely cannot make that call. The best solution right now is…”
Lu Mingyu urgently said, “Book a plane ticket for me right away. I’m going back!”
Lu Yang took off her white coat and was packing her things, preparing to leave the hospital.
Someone knocked on the door three times, and she looked up to see He
Kongqing.
He asked, “Are you leaving?”
“Yeah.”
Lu Yang glanced at him, indicating that he should speak his mind.
He Kongqing took a few steps forward and stood in front of her. “I talked to Jin Yao, and he won’t bother you anymore.”
“Thank you.”
After a moment of silence, He Kongqing couldn’t help but ask, “Lu Yang, can I ask you a question?”
“Go ahead.”
“Why did you choose Jiang Yanzhou?”
In terms of personality, Jin Yao and Lu Mingyu share about 60 to 70 percent similarity, but Jiang Yanzhou and Lu Mingyu have less than 20 percent similarity.
Lu Yang paused for a moment and said, “It’s not because Senior Brother asked you to ask, right?”
“No.” He Kongqing was very puzzled. “It’s just that I feel the world Jiang Yanzhou lives in is not what you aspire to.”
One was a clear-minded girl who was dedicated to medicine, while the other was a ruthless man who manipulated power.
The former longed for a tranquil and solitary life, while the latter clearly would not have such days.
Lu Yang smiled. Her eyes and eyebrows curled up. “Maybe it’s because I like him, so I can’t see anyone else.”
He Kongqing was taken aback.
“There’s nothing else. I’ll be on my way. Bye.”
Lu Yang walked out of the hospital and saw a familiar car. As she approached, Jiang Yanzhou got out of the car, one hand holding a red scarf, and the other holding a bouquet of flowers.
He gave her the flowers and put the scarf around her.
Lu Yang lowered her head to smell the fragrance of the flowers and then looked
up at his eyes behind the black mask. She asked, “Did you keep my scarves all this time?”
“Then why do you always bring me scarves?”
“I stole them.”
“Huh?”
“I stole them so I could have a chance to give them back to you. This way, you wouldn’t have a chance to refuse to meet me.”
After listening, Lu Yang burst into laughter. “Jiang Yanzhou, you really have a lot of ideas.”
“It’s not that I have a lot of ideas,” he touched her head and chuckled, “it’s just that I can’t keep up with you.”
Lu Yang didn’t comment.
Jiang Yanzhou opened the car door, and after she got in, he walked around the front of the car, sat in the driver’s seat, took off his mask, leaned over, and fastened her seatbelt.
“Did you see today’s trending topics?”
“Are you referring to your father’s matter or our matter?”
Jiang Yanzhou held her hand, using his thumb to gently rub the palm of her hand. “Our matter.”
“I saw.”
“The person who took the photos is Huo Beiqu from the news outlet.” “Huo Beiqu?” Lu Yang was puzzled. “Why would he do that?”
“He has been in conflict with Fei Zhen Group internally for several years. He thought you were on Fei Zhen’s side and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make Fei Zhen offend my father.”
Lu Yang was slightly surprised. “Does Huo Beiqu know that you’re Jiang Xi’s son?”
“Yeah.”
“Then maybe you should go back.”
Jiang Yanzhou raised his eyelashes, his clear pupils staring at her with some seriousness.
“Two years ago, you were kept in the dark about that incident. You didn’t know, and it wasn’t your fault.” Lu Yang moved her hand, palm against palm, “I’ve already explained things to your father, and he didn’t blame you.”
Two years ago, Holston Pharmaceuticals was preparing to go public, and amidst the various matters, the most important one was the launch of a new drug.
The finance department, research center, and marketing department were all caught up in a whirlwind of work, aiming for a smooth public offering.
Jiang Yanzhou only acts as a hobby; he comes from a prestigious family and with a strict father like Jiang Xi, it’s impossible for him to mix in the entertainment industry.
The process of the company going public is very cumbersome, involving a lot of paperwork, and Jiang Yanzhou is the official person in charge of reviewing it.
Lu Yang recognized his identity at first sight and approached him because she heard some rumors about problems with a new drug.
After going through various struggles and negotiations, it was confirmed that there were indeed issues, but at that time, she doubted his stance.
As long as they succeed in going public, Jiang Xi will quickly make Jiang Yanzhou appear in the public eye as his successor.
Therefore, instead of telling him directly, she indirectly prevented the new drug from being launched.
Jiang Yanzhou stumbled, and Jiang Xi was furious.
After the incident, Jiang Xi sought her out.
Their conversation lasted for about ten minutes, but it left a deep impression
on Lu Yang.
Jiang Xi didn’t have a cold expression, but his aura made it difficult for others to breathe.
He knew her background, knew the details of her interaction with Jiang Yanzhou, and knew everything she had done behind the scenes. Throughout the entire conversation, she was passive.
He didn’t warn her, but his presence was even more intimidating than a warning.
Jiang Xi also told her that Jiang Yanzhou is young and arrogant, used to being in control since childhood, and when he encounters someone who can see through him in certain aspects, it’s inevitable for him to become interested.
She was the first one to make him stumble in his life, naturally deepening his feelings for her.
“Lu Yang, don’t feel burdened. You have always done the right thing. My departure from Holston was a decision I made based on my own considerations.”
Their gazes silently entwined, and her eyes sparkled with a hint of emotion.
Jiang Yanzhou gently embraced Lu Yang with his long arms, catching a whiff of the fragrance of her hair, causing his breath to tremble imperceptibly. “I missed you. I’ve been thinking about you all day.”
Unexpectedly, a feeling of longing surged within Lu Yang’s heart.
It was strange. The person was right in front of her, yet the feeling of longing spread.
A soft smile appeared on Lu Yang’s face as she reached out to hug him, deliberately blowing in his ear. “Zhouzhou.”
Jiang Yanzhou stiffened all over, tightened his embrace, and held her even tighter. “Save it for later, otherwise, I won’t be able to drive.”
“Zhouzhou” was the nickname given to Jiang Yanzhou by his hardcore fans. At first, when Lu Yang read it out, she felt a bit embarrassed.
But soon she realized that teasing him was quite fun. She enjoyed seeing him frustrated and helpless.
‘You go play by yourself. You caused such a commotion; I need to check on my brother to see if he’s been affected.”
Lu Yang had a schedule of time arrangements for Lu Mingyu, and she chose a fixed time to talk to him.
“If Lu Mingyu asks about our relationship, what do you plan to say?” Jiang Yanzhou asked. “I plan to let you tell him.”
“Are you testing me?”
“If you can appease my brother, it’s equivalent to taking a step into my family’s door.”
“Is it that easy?”
“Don’t be too confident. You’re not the first person to say this, but without exception, they were all scared away by my brother.”
“Why wasn’t He Kongqing scared away?”
Lu Yang patted his shoulder blade with the hand resting on it and smiled, “Why are you always fixated on He Kongqing? Did he offend you?”
