Chapter 91: Stealing the limelight
The news of Lu Ye getting into a car accident and being hospitalized spread throughout Jing City.
Although Lu Ye was only the son of Lu Yi, who wasn’t a very famous person in the Lu family, the Lu family had won the bid for that piece of land in the east of the city. Even the main Lu family had to be polite to Lu Yi.
Now that Lu Yi’s only son, Lu Ye, was in trouble, it gave many people who usually couldn’t get close to Lu Yi a great opportunity.
When Su Yan followed Yun Chang’s assistant to visit Lu Ye, she bumped into a group of people who she could not name walking out of Lu Ye’s ward.
The assistant was very perceptive and introduced them to Su Yan one by one. In the end, he added, “Miss, you don’t need to remember these people. They are all insignificant people.”
Su Yan might not be very recognizable in front of these people, but they knew the face of Yun Chang’s assistant. After they recognized him, they swarmed over like flies that smelled shit.
This one said, “Assistant Liu, it’s been a long time since we last met. I wonder how President Yun is doing recently?”
That person asked again, “Assistant Liu, could it be that the Yun family is really going to collaborate with the Lu family? Could it be that the Yun family is also going to participate in the government project that President Lu pulled strings for?”
Everyone fell silent when they heard this. At that time, they had wanted to participate in the project like crazy and had even fallen out with their good friends. However, for some reason, they suddenly lost interest in the project. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that the project was unreliable. It was really strange.
As a result, Lu Yi’s project was still in an awkward position with no one to work with.
At this moment, someone with sharp eyes spotted Su Yan, who had been standing beside Assistant Liu. He paused for a moment before asking, “Assistant Liu, is this your girlfriend? She’s very pretty. Isn’t it a little inappropriate to bring your girlfriend to visit Little President Lu at this time?”
These words immediately woke everyone up. They all looked at Su Yan, and after a while, someone suddenly recognized her. “Could this lady be President Yun’s niece, the Yun Xi who was just recognized?”
Only then did the surrounding people take a closer look at Su Yan. They were surprised to discover that Su Yan’s looks were typical of the Yun family.
The person who had previously thought that Su Yan was Assistant Liu’s girlfriend was embarrassed. He even secretly hated himself for being so quick with his words. How could he say such things so blatantly?
Lu Yi, who had been watching by the side, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. These people were clearly here to see his son because of him. But what was the meaning of them surrounding Yun Chang’s assistant? Were these people looking down on him?
Su Yan noticed Lu Yi’s expression and smiled with her head lowered. She knew that Lu Yi and Lu Ye were not good people. How could Su Yan not be willing to disgust them?
Coincidentally, Lu Yi caught Su Yan smiling with her head lowered. Lu Yi’s face darkened.
Fortunately, a few nurses ran over at this time. Seeing that there was a group of people standing in front of Lu Ye’s ward, these nurses immediately pulled a long face and started to chase them away. Those people also knew that they had been delayed here for too long, so they stopped being annoying. They exchanged a few words with Su Yan and Assistant Liu before turning to leave.
Even from afar, Su Yan could still hear their discussion.
“What do you think Assistant Liu is doing here?”
“Do you think they are going to work with Lu Yi?”
Lu Yi’s face darkened as he looked at Assistant Liu. His voice carried a hint of displeasure. “Assistant Liu, you have a lot of face. I almost forgot that these people are actually here to visit my son.”
According to common sense, Assistant Liu shouldn’t have stolen the limelight. However, not only did Assistant Liu do so, he even acted self-righteously. “President Lu, I’m really sorry. Before I came, President Yun even told me to visit Little President Lu properly. Seriously, I forgot about this when I saw him. I’m really sorry.”
His speech was flawless and his attitude was sincere. Lu Yi knew that Assistant Liu was up to no good but he could not find any fault with him. He could only turn to Su Yan.
This was the first time Lu Yi was seriously observing Su Yan. He saw that Su Yan was so beautiful that she didn’t look like a mortal. She was tall and slender, and her temperament was gentle. She was simply the best candidate for a daughter-in-law.
Lu Yi’s expression softened a little and he smiled at Su Yan. “Xiao Xi is here too? You have suffered too. Uncle Lu still remembers the last time I saw you before you went missing. You were still so small, but you obediently leaned against Yun Yi’s leg. Tsk, Uncle Lu’s heart melted just looking at you.”
Su Yan did not believe a single word that Lu Yi said, but she did not show it on her face. She only said gently, “Uncle Lu, how is Lu Ye? We came here specially to visit him. How did something like this happen to him?”
