Bamboo horse is not a gentleman

Chapter 53

Lu Bai instantly understood what the other party meant.

For many years, he has been abandoned as one of the waste products in Ruan Xinmei's life.

Now, this waste product has to be displayed in front of everyone, making the painful and hard-to-touch wound a rare doll to satisfy all curiosity-seeking eyes.

For a moment, Lu Bai felt that his body and soul were trembling and collapsing. He wanted to escape, escape from the ruins that had broken his heart, until a gentle and warm touch gently wrapped his cold hands, Warmth slowly seeped into his palm.

Lu Bai turned his head and found that Yuan Qing was staring at him worriedly, with deep concern and love in those clear eyes.

"Hey, Lu Bai, are you listening?"

Lu Bai's face returned to calm and firm, and he replied:

"Alright, Chang Shan, just do this, the sooner the better."

Perhaps considering the urgency of the incident, Chang Shan's action power was extraordinary and astonishing.

The next day, the headline of the entertainment section of "Lucheng Daily" revealed the unknown past of Ruan Xinmei, the newlywed wife of the CEO of the well-known Yin Group, and revealed that she had concealed the fact that she had an illegitimate child. The truth about the writer of suspense was also made public.This report is purely focused on attracting people's attention, trying its best to find novels, and has no kindness or sympathy for Ruan Xinmei, who is still unconscious in the hospital bed.

The landline and mobile phone of Lu Bai's house kept ringing, and Yuan Qing dared not go to QQ and Weibo, because all the places where Lu Bai was stationed as a professional writer were about to explode.

Whenever Yuan Qing looked at him cautiously and with concern, he shrugged and smiled:
"That's good, it can be regarded as a little more topic for hype for my novel that is about to be remade into a movie."

In fact, some people questioned Lu Bai on Weibo in this way. Although they were quickly countered by angry Lu fans and had nothing to say, and finally fled quietly, as long as Yuan Qing saw these attacks and slanders, My heart felt like being pricked by a needle, it was so painful that it was about to bleed.

After Xiao Yang saw the newspaper, he left his shop and visited Lu Bai's apartment. He didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he just tried his best to cheer up his friend by making jokes, until Writer Lu Da ungratefully drove him out of the study When they came out, only he and Yuan Qing were left.

Yuan Qing could no longer hold back the tears shed in front of her old classmates for many years.

At that moment, Boss Xiao, who had read through tens of thousands of volumes of romance novels, was completely at a loss. He didn't know what to do, so he honestly took out two Ama Platinum VIP cards from his pocket, which are said to be free on every statutory holiday. There is no limit to food and drink.

Yuan Qing was holding two pink cards, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time, Xiao Yang patted her on the back like a cramped gorilla, almost slapping her lungs:

"Don't cry, you have to believe in Dabai's courage and perseverance. As far as I know, from the time I know Dabai to now, he has been like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death. He won't have any psychological problems or shadow areas! Even if there are, at least If a few more protagonists in the novel die, everything will be fine!"

As soon as the words fell, Boss Xiao was hit mercilessly on the back of the head by a pillow, and writer Lu Da's ruthless voice came from behind him:
"It's so noisy! If you make a louder voice, you will take Caesar away!"

Not far away, Caesar at the door of the living room suddenly flapped his wings and made a cannibalistic sound of "quack quack".

"Okay, okay, don't bother you anymore, can't I go?" Boss Xiao wiped the soles of his feet with oil, and disappeared at the door of the apartment in an instant.

Then, a call from Chang Shan came unexpectedly.The man opened his mouth with three words:

"sorry."

Yuan Qing was slightly taken aback, and asked:
"Why are you apologizing?"

"I know very well what it feels like to see the person I love hurt the most. In this world, the only thing that can make me bow my head and apologize is sincerity and true feelings."

Yuan Qing's heart was still heavy, but the warmth began to seep out from his heart.

"The person who wrote this report is my junior sister Xiao Lu. It is said that because of this blockbuster, the sales of "Lucheng Daily" surged in one day, and Xiao Lu was also forced by the editor-in-chief to follow up the report. There will be no peace for a day without Lu Bai himself."

Yuan Qing rolled his eyes involuntarily. This Chang Shan was indeed the essence of black sesame glutinous rice balls. He was still moved by his apology just now, and he had a fundamental change in himself. You see, after all, he is still a guy with white outside and black inside!

"Are you here to be a lobbyist for your Junior Sister Xiao?"

Chang Shan laughed:
"I know you must have hated me again, but this result is exactly what Lu Bai likes to see happen. He needs a fair reason to visit Ruan Xinmei in the hospital."

Lu Bai agreed to Chang Shan's request, and for the first time allowed reporters to come to interview.

When Xiao Lu appeared in front of the entrance of Lu's house, Assistant Yuan rubbed his eyes to be sure that it was not Chang Shan himself, but a female reporter.

Well, this female reporter's appearance and temperament are almost carved out of the same mold as Chang Shan, with a white face, delicate and elegant features, and even her voice is so gentle and quiet, calm and breezy.

The moment Xiao Lu saw Yuan Qing, he smiled at her and stretched out his hand politely:

"It's Miss Yuan, right? Hello, I'm Xiao Lu, and my brother Chang Shan often mentions you to me."

The moment Yuan Qing received that smile, the alarm bells rang in her heart. As a sixth sense unique to women, she instinctively felt that this woman was also not easy to mess with.

It is said that it is not that one family does not enter one family, and the junior sisters brought out by Chang Shan are at most more round and delicate in appearance, but they are still black sesame glutinous rice balls.

Xiao Lu and Lu Bai talked for about half an hour in the study, then waved goodbye.Lu Bai went to the bedroom to change into a formal suit, and stopped going to the study to type, and sat in the living room with his eyes closed to rest his mind.

"What are you doing, so mysterious?" Yuan Qing hugged Abai and looked at her boyfriend resentfully.

Lu Bai raised his eyes, his eyes were like a vortex, sucking Yuan Qing's heart warmly and profoundly.

"I plan to go to the hospital, accompanied by media reporters."

"what do you mean……"

"This is a battle where swords and guns are invisible. I will use the power of the media to wrestle with Yin Mochen. The darker the people, the more afraid of the sun. When the Yin family and his son are forced to face the media, I want to see their reaction."

"Will it stimulate them more and make them do something?"

"Cockroaches will only remain motionless in the face of strong light, and will sneak away or continue their activities when darkness comes. As two cockroaches that have coexisted with humans and have never been trampled to death and fed fat, I think they They should not have the guts to commit crimes in full view, and finally destroy the kingdom of darkness they worked so hard to build."

"Can I... can I accompany you?"

Lu Bai looked at Yuan Qing tenderly, and raised his arms to hug her:
"No one is more conflicted than I am at the moment. I hope you can stay by my side, but I am afraid that those darkness will pollute your heart. Rather than relying on each other, I hope you can stay carefree. by my side."

Yuan Qing shook his head:

"If my boyfriend is unhappy, I won't be happy. We are not only together to be happy companions, but also to face the wind and rain hand in hand."

Xiao Lu's mobility was almost as amazing as her senior brother's. Near noon, he led the film crew to the Qingzhu Community in a van, and took Lu Bai and Yuan Qing to Rui'an Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in Lucheng.

As soon as Yuan Qing got into the van, he smelled a strong smell of onions.Xiao Lu was eating pizza with two men with long guns and short cannons, and this woman was particularly eye-catching among the men with her bloody mouth chewing pizza.

Yes, full of blood.Xiao Lu put on makeup, and the thick powder looked very pale in broad daylight, not to mention the too bright red lip gloss, which made her look like a vampire who had just sucked blood.

For a moment, Yuan Qing even suspected that he had gone to the wrong venue. This was clearly the scene of a horror movie, not like a reporter running entertainment gossip!
Xiao Lu seemed unaware of the silent shock and complaints in Yuan Qing's heart, she waved to them friendly, and pointed to another box of pizza placed next to her buttocks:

"This box hasn't been touched yet, do you want to eat something to satisfy your hunger?"

"No, no need."

Lu Bai also shook his head, apparently the pair of foodies lost their appetite after being shocked by Xiao Lu's terrible eating.

Yuan Qing and Lu Bai sat side by side in the back seat, and Xiao Lu sat in the front row, but she kept turning her head towards them, opened up the chatterbox, and talked all the way, successfully making Yuan Qing understand the "black sesame dumpling" Expectations were completely shattered.

Of course, the rare and clever Yuan Qing and the black-bellied Lu Bai both heard that Junior Sister Xiao went around a lot, and there was always a hidden name in everything else—Senior Brother Chang.

Undoubtedly, Xiao Lu likes Chang Shan, and likes to ask two unfamiliar people everything about him, and his sincere concern is beyond words. As for whether it is unrequited love, Chang Shan should know better than outsiders like them.

It's just that the only thing that can be confirmed is that this is destined to be a fruitless love.

Different from Lu Bai, who is cold outside and hot inside, Chang Shan has the rationality in his heart as a son of a businessman when dealing with feelings.If he wholeheartedly wanted to avenge his father for his mother and his own life, then his future belonging would definitely not be the rootless Xiao Lu, but a well-matched wealthy daughter.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qing couldn't help feeling pity and sympathy for this seemingly heartless Xiao Lu.

And Lu Bai——she turned her eyes to the man, who was looking out the window expressionlessly at this moment, exuding an aura of alienation.

Only Yuan Qing knows what kind of torment Lu Bai is going through at this moment. His sincerity, anxiety and irrationality over the years can only be understood by those who have been watching him all the time.

Amidst Xiao Lu's noise, the group quickly arrived at Ruian Hospital.

Xiao Lu and several film crew members jumped out of the car first, Xiao Lu changed his playful smile just now, and said in a serious low voice:

"Mr. Lu, from now on we will take pictures of the whole process of your visit to Ms. Ruan in the hospital. I hope that you will prepare your mind and facial expression well, so that it is possible to rescue Ms. Ruan."

Lu Bai nodded. He didn't say anything since he got in the van, but he held Yuan Qing's soft little hand tightly, and the scene in the hospital recurred in his mind, just like the plot of a novel, just because it was too real. Had to fully commit to it.

Lu Bai and Yuan Qing got out of the car one after the other, and Xiao Lu handed the interview microphone to his eyes:

"Mr. Lu, is this the first time to visit your mother, Ms. Ruan, since she was hospitalized?"

Under Lu Bai's gesture, Yuan Qing walked behind the camera crew and looked at the man through the camera.

In the camera, Lu Bai's expression is still calm, but his slightly flickering eyes show that he is not calm. He replied in a deep and pleasant voice:

"Yes."

"Generally speaking, as a son, when he learns that his biological mother is critically ill, he should rush to the hospital to visit him immediately, but why did you show up at the hospital door until now?" Xiao Lu deliberately asked an extremely sharp question.

"That's because we are not an ordinary mother-child relationship." Lu Bai replied lightly, his face a little pale, "For my mother, my identity is not suitable for public disclosure, so as a son, I should respect her choice. In addition, I am worried whether my appearance will aggravate my mother's condition, or make her fall into the cusp of public opinion. Now—because of some human factors, my identity has been exposed, so I should Come to visit her and pray that the old man will get out of the coma as soon as possible and recover as soon as possible, and I, as a son, will be satisfied."

Lu Bai strode towards the inpatient department of Rui'an Hospital, followed by the other three.

Xiao Lu's eyes flashed, and Yuan Qing immediately guessed that she was going to ask the most important question:

"Mr. Lu, may Mr. Yin, your stepfather's family, know your real identity?"

Lu Bai received Xiao Lu's eyes with a tacit understanding, and then lined up in front of the elevator on the ground floor of the inpatient department. Other patients or family members in the line looked at them and listened to their conversation.

Lu Bai has always been a very low-key person, and not many people know him, but people quickly guessed his identity through the content of the interview.

"Look, isn't that the famous suspense writer Lu Bai?"

"Ahhh, so handsome!"

"Look at your nympho, aren't you an illegitimate child who can't see the light?"

"Even if he is an illegitimate child, he is also the illegitimate child of a rich family, and he has a house and a car in Lucheng by himself, which is much better than you who can't even afford a house!"

"Tsk tsk, why don't you marry me, just marry him and see if they marry you!"

"Hmph! If you can't eat grapes, say the grapes are sour!"

"Come on, first look at yourself in the mirror, who else would want you except me!"

Amidst the chattering and chattering, Lu Bai replied:
"At Yin Heyuan's wedding, he once called me 'brother', I think he should know my identity."

Lu Bai looked expressionless, and Yuan Qing saw through the camera that the corners of his mouth sank imperceptibly, which was the micro-expression he only had when he was extremely sarcastic.

Xiao Lu obviously felt the deep meaning in Lu Bai's words, she turned her head and winked at Yuan Qing.

Lu Bai and his party of five waited until there was no one else, and then walked into the elevator.

The elevator slowly ascended, and everyone instinctively kept silent. In the silence, Lu Bai's hands stuck to the sides of his trouser pockets curled up involuntarily: After careful arrangements and preparations, he did not hesitate to expose himself to the broad daylight. I don't know what the outcome of this contest will be.

The elevator stopped on the top floor. This is the VIP ward of Ruian Hospital. It is quiet, tidy and spotless. When Yuan Qing followed Lu Bai into this area, he even slowed down his breathing involuntarily.

There was no need for Xiao Lu to lead the way, Lu Bai and Yuan Qing saw two men in dark suits standing at the door of the corridor at a glance.

Lu Bai and his party were stopped by them:
"Who are you looking for?"

"This is a hospital, a public place, why don't you let us go?" Xiao Lu said, one member of the camera crew quietly raised the camera behind him, and the other turned on the mini camera in his pocket.

One of the sharp-eyed men in suits stepped forward to block the camera with his hands:
"No shooting!"

"This is a high-end private ward. Without the permission of the person concerned, no video recording is allowed!" Another man in a suit also stepped forward to block it.

"I'm here to visit my mother, please get out of the way." At this moment, Lu Bai who was on the side spoke.

The two men in suits looked at each other and said in unison:
"Sorry, sir, we don't know who your mother is. We just follow the employer's request and no one else is allowed in except them."

"Is your employer Mr. Yin?"

Both of them were silent, their faces were extremely unnatural, and they did not speak.

Xiao Lu knew that he had guessed right.

Lu Bai didn't know whether he sneered because of anger or because of fate. He didn't know whether the Yin family had read his novels or imitated the scenes in the movies. Novelty.

Xiao Lu smiled slightly:
"It's okay for the two gentlemen not to answer. Anyway, I have Mr. Yin's phone number, so I can call and ask."

At this moment, there was a sound of "cracking" footsteps in the corridor, and a tall man in a suit and leather shoes came slowly from behind the two men in suits, wearing shiny leather shoes and combing his hair back meticulously. , showing a smooth forehead and handsome and harmless facial features, with a friendly smile striding towards the crowd:
"Oh, brother Ruan, you are here. I know, you are worried about my mother, don't worry, she is out of danger now, and is currently under observation in the intensive care unit. As long as I pass tonight safely, she should be fine slowly recovering."

For a moment, neither Yuan Qing nor Xiao Lu remembered who the "my mother" Yin Heyuan was talking about was. It was not until he mentioned that his life was in danger, that they looked at this man with an epiphany, and their eyes unconsciously carried some sarcasm.

Xiao Lu asked coldly:

"Then can we go in and see Ms. Ruan?"

"Of course." Yin Heyuan sighed, staring at Xiao Lu with piercing eyes, "But please don't enter non-related people and camera equipment. After all, it is an intensive care unit, and what patients need is silence."

Xiao Lu curled up the corners of his lips, with a half-smile:
"Whether it is related to people or not, Mr. Lu, as Ms. Ruan's biological son, has his own conclusions."

After all, this woman with heavy make-up and carefree pushed away Yin Heyuan who was standing there like a door god, and made way for Lu Bai.

Lu Bai and Yuan Qing followed the trend and walked in.

The two men in suits wanted to stop them, but were signaled by Yin Heyuan to step aside. His smile was still on the corner of his mouth, but he just looked at Xiao Lu:
"Miss Xiao, I want to go to the bathroom, excuse me for a while, don't you mind?"

Xiao Lu said lightly:
"Boss Yin is not a three-year-old child, why even report this kind of thing to me."

"Puchi..." The two crew members laughed unbearably.

Yin Heyuan didn't say anything, and walked straight into a restroom far away, then kicked open the last toilet door, walked in and closed the door.He quickly dialed a few numbers and pressed the answer button:
"Hey, Dad, that little bastard Ruan Bai is here, and he brought the media reporters over."

Yin Mochen gave a very flat "hmm":
"Then take him to see his mother, and be more enthusiastic. Anyway, Ruan Xinmei's sudden heart attack is a medical fact. Even if he has doubts, there is nothing he can do about us, and there is no knife wound, poison or other external forces. Factors can only prove that Ruan Xinmei fell ill because of her own illness, and it has nothing to do with us."

"But, what if Ruan Xinmei suddenly wakes up and makes a will?"

"There's nothing to do. Isn't she still in a coma now? As long as we take this opportunity to transfer Yaoyang's funds to the Haitian project, our goal will be achieved. Even if Ruan Xinmei wakes up one day, we can only blame ourselves for being too self-righteous and too self-righteous." It’s because you underestimate the enemy that you suffer from being dumb, and you can’t blame anyone else!”

After listening to his father's words, Yin Heyuan completely relaxed. He hung up the phone, opened the toilet door, and was startled, only to see a long-haired woman standing a few steps away from the sink, facing the mirror and putting on makeup.

"This, this is the men's restroom."

"I know, there aren't many people here, so I just came in. There are too many people in the women's room, it's too troublesome!" Xiao Lu shrugged, and continued to touch up her makeup without even turning her head back.

It was the first time Yin Heyuan encountered such a bluffing woman, and he was almost speechless with anger. He began to worry about how much the other party heard the call just now, so he tentatively said:
"Miss, may I have your name?"

Xiao Lu turned her head and glanced at him:
"What, you want to talk to me?"

Yin Heyuan's throat choked, and he continued to maintain a shallow smile:
"Where, you are my elder brother's friend, I think we will have a chance to meet in the future."

Xiao Lu smiled, raised her long hair, turned around and stretched out her hand to Yin Heyuan:

"To be precise, I am Lu Bai's media friend. Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Lu. I am a reporter in charge of the entertainment section of "Lucheng Daily". No one's secrets escape our eyes."

"Hahaha..." Yin Heyuan laughed dryly, "Miss Xiao's words are so scary."

Xiao Lu blinked:
"Although the old saying is old, it still makes sense. Don't do bad things for people, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. As long as you are open-minded, no one can catch you."

At this time, a strange man walked into the toilet, saw Xiao Lu and Yin Heyuan, and couldn't help but froze in place.

Xiao Lu waved his hands at Yin Heyuan chicly:
"See you later, Mr. Yin."
