President, the deceased lady has three more children

Madam Lu's sarcasm was obvious; she was blaming Jiang Bai for acting on his own initiative, and to put it bluntly, she looked down on him.

Jiang Bai only maintained a superficial politeness towards Lu Mingzhu, let alone towards this Madam Lu. He gave her a cold look, his eyes losing their usual gentleness.

"Mrs. Lu, do you have a problem with my presumptuous actions just now? Or do you think I should just watch the CEO fight to the death with someone else?"

"It's not like President Fu can't beat him. I think you're just up to something. The boss hasn't even spoken yet and you've already spoken. Isn't that taking matters into your own hands?" Madam Lu said sarcastically, feeling that Fu Yunchuan probably didn't like others taking matters into their own hands.

She disliked Jiang Bai from the start, and having finally found an opportunity to ridicule him, how could she let it go?

"Really? How do you know you can win? Do you think this is your home? You can't just start a fight like that. This is a hospital, you know? Do you know what a public place is? If you don't know, why don't you ask Miss Lu to enroll you in a senior university so you can learn or reinforce your knowledge? What do you think, Mrs. Lu?"

Jiang Bai was already in a bad mood, and now that Madam Lu had come straight at him, how could he not say a few words to appease Madam Lu's carefully crafted sarcastic remarks?

"You..." Madam Lu's face turned red and green as Jiang Bai retorted.

Fu Yunchuan coldly looked up at Madam Lu, his disgust clearly visible on his face.

"I really didn't know when people from my Fu family could be gossiped about so casually."

The person from the Fu family he was referring to was naturally Jiang Bai. Many years ago, when Jiang Bai first came to the Fu family, some people made sarcastic remarks about him, saying that Jiang Bai was not only Fu Yunchuan's father's illegitimate son, but also other even more offensive things.

Back then, Fu Yunchuan could easily dislocate someone's arm. That person's family subsequently declined rapidly. From then on, no one dared to talk nonsense about Jiang Bai anymore. Everyone knew that Jiang Bai was ostensibly an assistant, but in reality, he was no different from the second young master of the Fu family.

This is also why many people from families that are not particularly prosperous want to introduce their daughters to Jiang Bai.

When Madam Lu was stared at like that by Fu Yunchuan, her face turned pale instantly. She stammered, not knowing what to say, or rather, she was so frightened that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Lu Mingzhu immediately looked at Madam Lu: "Mom, stop talking! Jiang Bai did the right thing just now. How can we just stand by and watch Brother Yun Chuan fight with others?"

She knew all too well Jiang Bai's importance to Fu Yunchuan or the Fu family. Given how dissatisfied Yunchuan was with her mother, for her mother to still talk about Jiang Bai was tantamount to courting death.

Madam Lu could only turn her back, not daring to say another word. She wasn't a brainless person; she could read Lu Mingzhu's expression.

Jiang Bai snorted coldly, too lazy to hide his emotions; he truly loathed the Lu family.

The Lu family mother and daughter were so angry about the fight between the president and Lin Ke that they wanted the president to beat Lin Ke to death. They didn't even think about what would happen to the president in the future.

"President, you should rest here for a while. I'll go out and take care of Dr. Lin and Vice President Li's matter."

After finishing his sentence, Jiang Bai turned around and was about to leave, completely disregarding his usual obedience and politeness towards Fu Yunchuan.

When Madam Lu and Lu Mingzhu saw that Jiang Bai was so temperamental, they were actually displeased, but since Fu Yunchuan didn't say anything, they pretended not to see it.

However, Lu Mingzhu's dissatisfaction with Jiang Bai intensified.

This Jiang Bai is just an orphan sponsored by the Fu family. He thinks he can speak for himself just because the Fu family treats him well. He is so arrogant towards everyone!

Lu Mingzhu felt that everyone was against him, and that these people were against her because of Nanxing. Nanxing was the culprit behind all of this.

"He really has a temper. He's not even a member of the Fu family, so what's with all the arrogance?" Madam Lu couldn't help but mutter a few words of dissatisfaction as she watched Jiang Bai's departing figure.

Lu Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she really wanted to stuff something into her mother's mouth.

Jiang Bai had finally left, and the matter was considered closed, but her mother was still so reckless as to speak up. It was truly her tragedy to have such parents!

He Feng frowned, and since he already disliked Lu's mother, he no longer bothered to hide it, his displeasure clearly written on his face.

Fortunately, besides Fu Yunchuan, the only people here were his own. He managed to conceal it in time and hadn't been discovered yet.

With Madam Lu's personality and demeanor, she'll cause trouble sooner or later; perhaps it's time to let her go.

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Mingzhu scolded Madam Lu, pretending to be angry. Actually, it wasn't really pretending; she was genuinely angry, and she was only scolding her now because she was suppressing her anger.

“I know you’re worried about me, but you can’t let your worry make you say things you don’t mean. You know Jiang Bai is a member of the Fu family, whether it’s in Brother Yun Chuan’s heart, Aunt Fu’s and Grandma’s hearts, or even in my heart, he’s our friend and family. If you say that again, I’ll really get angry with you!”

She spoke to Madam Lu with her back to Fu Yunchuan, but in reality, she was giving Madam Lu a meaningful look.

Madam Lu's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Fu Yunchuan instinctively, but when she saw his gaze, she immediately cowered, realizing what she had just said.

As soon as she thought about it, a thought immediately came to mind.

“Mingzhu, do you think I wanted to say those things to him? Do you think I enjoyed cursing like that? But I feel uncomfortable if I don’t curse him.”

"Your dad's already like this, I can't count on him anymore, and now your health is deteriorating like this. If something else happens to you, how am I supposed to live? My heart is breaking!"

Mother Lu patted her chest and cried out in grief.

It has to be said that these two are truly mother and daughter; they can both shed tears at any moment, and they are both equally good at acting.

Lu Mingzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her mother would not understand the underlying meaning of her words and would continue to nitpick at Jiang Bai.

At that point, she really wouldn't know how to smooth things over, nor would she be able to stop Brother Yun Chuan from getting angry.

"Mom! I've told you so many times! I'll find a way myself! Even if something really happens to me in the future, just take good care of the family and live a good life. If all else fails, you can adopt a child from an orphanage to keep you company and take care of you in your old age."

"Although we don't have much money at home, it's enough for you to live a comfortable life. Besides, Brother Yun Chuan won't spoil you. Can you stop thinking about so many messy things? What am I supposed to do with you like this?"

Lu Mingzhu clutched her chest, as if she couldn't bear talking about these things, and her body swayed involuntarily.

Madam Lu reacted extremely quickly, coming up to support her and speaking through choked sobs.

"Okay, okay, Mom won't say anything more. Mom knows she was wrong, alright? Don't get angry anymore. The doctor can't give a definitive diagnosis of your health right now. You need to take care of yourself."

"And don't say those unlucky things anymore. It really hurts my heart to hear them. Adopting a child! Are you trying to break my heart? Where else can I have a child besides you? No one else is you anymore. I only want you."

At first, Madam Lu was indeed cooperating with Lu Mingzhu's acting, but as the story progressed, she became genuinely saddened and her deepest emotions were touched, causing her tears to flow uncontrollably.

Lu Mingzhu is her daughter, how could she not feel sorry for her? She only has one daughter and one child.

Lu Mingzhu naturally realized that her mother was genuinely crying, but she didn't think much of it. Instead, she thought it was quite good, at least her mother's crying was sincere and she wasn't afraid that Yun Chuan would notice or discover anything.

Madam Lu and A-Kui helped Lu Mingzhu lie back down on the bed, but Lu Mingzhu kept looking at Fu Yunchuan with worry and heartache on her face.

"Brother Yun Chuan, is your hand injured again? The place where you injured it last time hasn't fully healed yet, has it been injured again? You should go and have the doctor apply some more medicine for you. I'm not in a hurry, it's not important here."

She still had that considerate demeanor.

Fu Yunchuan's face was grim. What Lu's mother had said earlier had indeed made him very unhappy, and his eyes even showed murderous intent. However, Lu Mingzhu had said something else, so he could only keep a cold face and had nothing else to say.

Lu Mingzhu was equally uncertain, because she noticed that something was wrong with Fu Yunchuan. Normally, after she had said all that, Fu Yunchuan should have reacted, but now he just kept a cold face and didn't say a word, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

A heavy silence suddenly filled the ward, with only Lu's mother occasionally choking out a few words.

Lu Mingzhu couldn't find any other way for the time being, and dared not say anything more casually. She could only lower her head and sob softly with her mother.

He Feng lowered his head, about to speak, when he noticed that Fu Yunchuan's gaze had already fallen on him.

He feigned surprise, then sighed, and calmly asked, "President Fu, what exactly is wrong with President Lu's illness? Is there really nothing the doctors can do? What will happen to the company if something really happens to President Lu?"

Upon hearing this, Lu's mother cried even louder.

Fu Yunchuan simply stared coldly at He Feng, and even asked a question in return.

"Really? I thought you knew a solution, or knew how to treat it."

He Feng and Lu Mingzhu's hearts skipped a beat. They wondered why Fu Yunchuan had said those things. Had he discovered something?

"President Fu, what do you mean? I don't understand. If I really knew what to do, I wouldn't be so distressed now."

"You don't know? Didn't you find her a very skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor back then? Didn't he cure her? How come you can't find a second traditional Chinese medicine doctor now?"

Fu Yunchuan's voice was calm, but his tone was icy and sarcastic, filled with both anger and sarcasm.

Lu Mingzhu's face stiffened, and she could only lower her head and cry louder.

At this point, she couldn't speak and could only let He Feng explain himself.

He Feng let out another heavy sigh, filled with regret.

"President Fu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I thought that old Chinese medicine doctor could cure President Lu, but who knew it would turn out like this again. I was just worried about President Lu and wanted him to get better as soon as possible."

"Besides, President Lu's health had indeed improved at the time, so I thought that old Chinese medicine doctor was effective. Who knew that his condition would relapse now? I really don't know what to say. I feel guilty, and it's also my fault for finding the wrong person."

“Assistant He, this has nothing to do with you.” Lu Mingzhu opened the door immediately afterward. “How can this be your fault? You meant well and were just trying to help me.”

"Just like you said, you only wanted to help me at the time, and that old Chinese medicine doctor did indeed make me feel better for a while. I don't blame you, really."

Lu Mingzhu appeared gentle and magnanimous, but only she knew what she was really thinking.

She knew all too well about her relationship with He Feng, and at this moment she had to protect He Feng. Moreover, she also had to show Fu Yunchuan her magnanimity.

She knew that during this time, because of Nanxing and those children, she had revealed too much of her personality that was not what she was like in front of others, especially in front of Fu Yunchuan. At this time, she had to maintain her public image.

Fu Yunchuan did indeed frown, feeling annoyed by Lu Mingzhu's words.

Lu Mingzhu now trusts He Feng more than just a little; she doesn't have the slightest doubt even now.

"You all go out first." His cold voice rang out, and Lu Mingzhu was startled, wondering what Fu Yunchuan wanted to say to her alone.

He Feng didn't ask any more questions, and he wasn't surprised by this. He just exchanged a glance with Lu Mingzhu before leaving.

Fu Yunchuan is now clearly suspicious of him, and if Lu Mingzhu can't even explain this, it will be very disadvantageous for him.

Madam Lu looked at Lu Mingzhu with concern, seemingly reluctant to go out.

Lu Mingzhu gave her a reassuring smile and said, "Mom, you can go out first. Brother Yunchuan probably has something he wants to say to me. You know how Brother Yunchuan treats me, so don't worry, everything will be fine."

Madam Lu understood what Lu Mingzhu meant by those words, and immediately sighed in agreement.

"Yes, I know you trust President Fu, but I am also a mother after all. Isn't it normal for me to worry about you?"

She shook her head as she left the room, while A-Kui was the only one who left without asking any questions or reacting further.

Now only Lu Mingzhu and Fu Yunchuan remain in the ward.

Fu Yunchuan took a few steps forward, but didn't get any closer, and didn't even sit down.

Seeing his expression, Lu Mingzhu gave a bitter smile and said,

"Brother Yun Chuan, are you so unwilling to even get close to me now? In your heart, have I become someone you can't get close to? Is this how you guard against me?"

Fu Yunchuan's expression remained unchanged. "Don't you know why I treated you this way?"
