Chapter 458 I miss you
“I will take good care of myself. I still have Lu Wenzhou. I’m not alone.” Lu Shengsheng didn’t want her to leave in peace or worry about her, so she choked up and said, “You don’t need to worry about me. I will be fine, very fine.”
Lu's mother nodded with satisfaction. "Lu Wenzhou is a very good person. If you truly like him, then live well with him and don't bully him. In the future, you will both be without family, so you must take care of each other and support each other. Don't always act like a child, understand?"
Lu Shengsheng sniffed. "I know, I'll listen to you."
Mrs. Lu seemed relieved. "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep for a while. You should rest too!"
Lu Shengsheng helped her lie down, tucked the blanket around her, and held her hand, saying, "Go to sleep. I'll rest after you fall asleep."
Lu's mother closed her eyes and didn't say anything more. She seemed really tired, very tired.
For the next few days, Lu Shengsheng stayed in the hospital and didn't go anywhere.
When Zhao Xuan called her, she said weakly, "I can't leave the hospital recently, so even if there's something really important, I've been put off."
Zhao Xuan immediately understood, "Is Auntie's condition serious?"
"Hmm." Lu Shengsheng said softly, "That's why I really can't leave."
"I understand." Even if Zhao Xuan had a heart of stone, she knew how much she wanted to stay by her mother's side at this moment. "I'll delay things here for you, we'll talk about it later."
"Thank you." Lu Shengsheng hung up the phone and turned around to see Gu Ronghui standing a few steps away.
She didn't have the energy to argue with him and turned to go back to her ward.
Gu Rong reached out and grabbed her arm, his voice low, "Sheng Sheng..."
Lu Shengsheng lowered her voice and said, "Let go."
Gu Rong hesitated for a second before letting go of her hand. "How is your mother?"
“None of this has anything to do with you anymore.” Lu Shengsheng turned her head to look at him, her brows and eyes revealing her exhaustion. “Gu Ronghui, I really don’t have the mood to argue with you right now. Please don’t show up in front of me.”
After saying that, he went into the ward.
Gu Rong stood outside the ward, with a bellyful of things to say but no chance to speak them.
In the evening, Lu Wenzhou had to work overtime and couldn't come over, but Zhao Xuan came instead.
He inquired about Lu's mother's health and then gave Lu Shengsheng a look.
The two walked outside. Lu Shengsheng thought it was about work. "Didn't I say I don't want to take any work right now?"
“It’s not about work.” Zhao Xuan said with a furrowed brow, “Some people online suddenly started spreading rumors that you were using the 1 billion yuan alimony to flirt with other men, implying that you cheated on me.”
Lu Shengsheng has been focusing on taking care of her mother lately and hasn't been looking online at all, so she is completely unaware of the online discussions.
"Who did it?"
Zhao Xuan shook her head: "I asked around, but there's still no news. This matter needs to be handled properly, otherwise it will affect your future work and endorsements."
"No matter how much it costs to remove the trending topic, we'll issue a clarification statement!"
"I'm afraid the effect won't be significant." Zhao Xuan paused, her gaze falling on the ward behind her. "Perhaps..."
"No way!" Lu Shengsheng knew what she wanted to do and refused without thinking. "Even if I retire from the entertainment industry, I will never use my mother to market myself."
Even if her mother were perfectly healthy, let alone her current serious illness, she wouldn't use her mother to shield herself from trending topics.
Zhao Xuan guessed that she wouldn't agree, "Then I'll think about it some more. You should focus on taking care of Auntie for now. I came here to prepare you mentally, in case Auntie finds out, it might affect her condition."
"I know, thank you." Lu Shengsheng appreciated her kindness. After Zhao Xuan left, Lu Shengsheng went on Weibo and saw her name trending: a billion-dollar alimony payment, infidelity…
Some marketing accounts even got photos of Tang Yifeng giving her flowers on set, which was right after she divorced Gu Ronghui.
The square was filled with people cursing themselves as gold diggers, praising their clever methods, and slut-shaming.
In the past, she might have been indignant and posted a Weibo to retaliate, but now she has no mood for it at all, and even feels weak all over. She doesn't even want to talk, let alone curse.
Two hours later, the trending topic was removed, but the online comments were endless.
After Tang Yifeng found out, he immediately registered a Weibo account to clarify: She is divorced while I am unmarried, the flowers were sent by me, and I am still pursuing her. There was no cheating involved.
His actions put Lu Shengsheng back on the trending topics list, and netizens even started digging into when they first started interacting and whether Lu Shengsheng's divorce was due to Tang Yifeng's pursuit.
When Lu Shengsheng saw the trending topic, she really wanted to curse him as a pig-brain, asking why he had to jump out and seek attention.
She was just about to post a clarification on Weibo when she suddenly discovered that the trending topic had been removed, and all the comments on the public page had been deleted, leaving only the fans' clarification.
Even the richest person couldn't do this, unless—
Just as a name popped into Lu Shengsheng's mind, her phone suddenly rang. It was Lu Wenzhou calling.
"Are you alright?" Lu Wenzhou's voice was low and tired on the phone, with a hint of apology. "I was extremely busy today and didn't pay attention to the news online. That's when I found out."
"Did you remove the trending topics and comments?" Lu Shengsheng asked.
Lu Wenzhou did not deny it. "Minister Cheng and I reported our relationship. Because the research I am currently working on cannot be trending on social media, he stepped in to suppress this matter."
Netizens' attention is currently drawn to Tang Yifeng. Once they finish digging into Tang Yifeng, they will soon notice him. Therefore, he asked Minister Cheng to delete the trending topics and comments.
"Thank you." Lu Shengsheng felt a surge of warmth in her heart, knowing that he did all this for her sake.
"No need to thank me, it's not entirely for you! My work requires confidentiality, so..." Lu Wenzhou said slowly in a deep voice, "We also need to keep our relationship low-key. I can't let you show off your love like others, I'm sorry."
"Haven't you heard? Showing off your love will lead to a quick breakup. Besides, I've always been a very low-key person."
Lu Wenzhou chuckled, "Yes, my Sheng Sheng is the most low-key."
After a pause, she changed the subject, saying, "I'm going to the hospital in a bit. If you're tired, you should get some sleep."
"No need, you should go back and rest." These past few days I've been enduring the pain in the hospital, and he's been enduring it with me. He's also been working hard during the day.
"I'm not tired, and I miss you." Lu Wenzhou's low, husky voice was filled with tenderness.
Lu Shengsheng felt a sudden heat in her heart. She bit her lip and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, then come over here."
“Shengsheng…”
The sound wasn't just coming from the phone, it was coming from behind me...
Lu Shengsheng turned around abruptly and saw Lu Wenzhou standing not far away, holding a phone in his hand, his eyes filled with tenderness and longing.
"Lu Wenzhou..."
Without thinking, Lu Shengsheng turned around and ran towards him.
He hugged her tightly!
[First Update] I seriously doubt that after I finish writing this side story, you'll all be avoiding me? (Sweating profusely)
