Send you to the crematorium! Divorce and remarry the heir of a wealthy family
Chapter 72 Cover-up
His expression changed instantly, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
Could it be that Master Lu personally helped to handle all of this?
If that's the case, then when he helps me change my clothes, does that also mean...
Did you see it all?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a mixture of shame and anger welling up in her heart.
Suddenly, there were soft footsteps outside the door.
Yu Xiao hurriedly leaned towards the bed, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
"Click——"
The door was opened, and then the night light on the bedside was turned on. The dim and warm light instantly illuminated part of the space.
Lu Zhiyao walked gently to the bed, lowered his head and looked at the person on the bed carefully.
The woman seemed to be sleeping uneasy, with her brows furrowed.
He leaned over gently and tested the temperature of Yu Xiao's forehead with the back of his hand.
Feels warm, no fever.
Then he gently stroked her furrowed brows.
"What's bothering you? Don't worry, I'm here for you."
The man's deep voice echoed throughout the room.
Obviously, he didn't realize that the woman on the bed was just pretending to be asleep.
After checking for a while, he left the bedroom.
It was not until he heard the sound of the door closing that Yu Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that it was really Master Lu who saved her!
The reason why I pretended to be asleep just now was simply because I didn't want to face anyone or the various problems that were about to come for the time being.
The words Lu Zhiyao had said before were still echoing in her ears, as if they were right next to her, making her ears feel slightly warm.
So I had to hold down my violently beating heart and tried to remind myself to stay calm.
However, the excitement still could not be suppressed easily, and he kept speculating over and over in his mind what the deep meaning behind Lu Zhiyao's words was.
Finally, with such chaotic thoughts, she fell asleep again...
When he woke up again the next morning, Yu Xiao sat up slowly and carefully.
The memory of last night was still clear in my mind, and my heart was beating faster and faster.
What is the real meaning behind what Mr. Lu said to me last night?
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
After two "bang bang" sounds, a voice called out, "Xiaoxiao, can I come in now?"
Yu Xiao looked down at what she was wearing. It was a white pajamas, which looked quite decent.
"come in."
Lu Zhiyao gently pushed the door open and walked in, holding a cup of warm water in his hand.
The warmth seemed to pass through the cup to his fingertips.
He asked gently, "Feeling better?"
As he spoke, he handed the cup of water to Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao half leaned on the bed, carefully avoiding the wound on his body that was still aching, and took the cup.
She lowered her head slightly and took a few sips of water. She immediately felt her throat, which was so dry that it was almost smoking, feel much more relieved, like a sip of sweet spring water in the desert.
"much better."
She whispered, holding the still lukewarm cup of water in her hands, her eyes involuntarily dropping, "Why am I here?"
The only thing left in my mind was the last scene before I lost consciousness in the car last night, and my memory after that became blurry.
I seemed to have a brief awakening experience, but other than that I can't remember anything.
Lu Zhiyao sat quietly on a small stool beside the bed and began to tell the story.
In a calm and patient voice, he described how he found Yu Xiao in a coma, how he carefully carried her through the night to this quiet and beautiful villa, and how he quickly contacted a reliable doctor to give her emergency treatment and change her into clean clothes.
When he heard that the doctor involved was a woman, although there was no obvious change on his face, he felt greatly relieved in his heart.
If it was the man in front of me who changed my clothes...
Even if you know that the other person has no ill intentions, you will still feel an awkwardness that is difficult to conceal.
"Xiaoxiao, what happened last night?"
This question seems to be asked casually, but in fact the curiosity to know the whole truth is extremely strong.
Faced with such direct inquiry, Yu Xiao could only force out a bitter smile.
"What bad luck I have," she said helplessly. "Those strong men are all from the Black Fox Society. That woman set a trap for me last night and made me fall into it. They had planned it in advance and arranged many people to wait and see for me. Fortunately, I was smart enough to start the car and escape quickly. Otherwise, who knows what situation I would be in now..."
When she said this, she subconsciously tapped her head with her hand.
"Oh no! This is terrible! I need to contact the hospital and ask for leave. Oh no! I remember my phone must have been left in that car."
Almost instantly understanding what the girl was thinking at the moment, the man standing next to her immediately took out a delicate and small white mobile phone from his coat pocket and handed it to her.
Seeing this, without any hesitation or concern, Yu Xiao quickly put down the half-full cup of water in his hand, picked up the phone, and quickly called the department leader - respectfully calling him "Director Huang" and expressing his hope to take a week's rest to recover his health.
Fortunately, the other party was very reasonable and immediately agreed after learning about the subordinate's current situation.
After hanging up the call, when I looked at the person next to me, I found that the latter was staring at me with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Given your unusual background, it's truly admirable that you've managed to persist in working in a small private clinic for so many years, doing ordinary medical treatment. What exactly is the reason behind this decision?"
Hearing this question, Yu Xiao couldn't help but blink and said with a smile: "That's very interesting. So according to your understanding, since you already control such a huge business empire, why do you insist on starting a smaller technology company?"
In reality, while this startup may seem unremarkable, it holds a special place among Boss Lu's numerous industrial projects. The specific details are unknown to outsiders, just as others cannot fully understand why Yu Xiao chooses to stay in such a relatively ordinary job.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyao let out a clear, sweet laugh, which seemed to contain some information that hadn't been shared publicly yet. "Then you might as well make a bold guess." Seeing this, the girl blushed and quickly shook her head, explaining that she had no idea what was going on. After all, they rarely interacted with each other. Who would have thought he would actually go to work for a small technology startup?
