Chapter 467 You Owe Me a Life

The next day, when Lu Shengsheng woke up, there was no one beside her.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Lu Wenzhou coming out of the kitchen, carrying two breakfasts in his hands.

"What kind of snail are you?" Lu Shengsheng walked over with light steps, saw the nutritious and healthy breakfast on the table, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is amazing!"

Lu Wenzhou untied his apron and draped it over the chair next to him. "Let's eat. Stop with the flattery."

Lu Shengsheng sat down to eat breakfast and casually asked, "What have you been busy with lately? You've been so secretive."

Lu Wenzhou paused for a moment, looked up at her, and said nothing.

Realizing something, she smiled and said, "It's okay if you can't say. I was just asking casually."

Lu Wenzhou succinctly stated, "We're developing an AI intelligent application."

Lu Shengsheng asked doubtfully, "Isn't this something that many companies do? What's so special about it?"

“It’s different.” Lu Wenzhou pointed to the top. “It’s for astronauts.”

Lu Shengsheng's eyes widened immediately. "So high-class!"

Lu Wenzhou nodded.

"Then why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid I'll leak the secret?" Lu Shengsheng asked curiously.

Lu Wenzhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I put the code in front of you, you still won't understand it."

Lu Shengsheng angrily threw a tissue box at him, "Who are you looking down on?"

He smiled, took the tissue box with one hand, and placed it on the table, patiently explaining, "This project will take a while longer, so..."

He looked at her with a hint of apology in his eyes, "I won't be able to spend time with you lately."

"It's no use if you have time. I'm very busy promoting my movie." Lu Shengsheng raised her chin, looking arrogant like a big star.

Lu Wenzhou couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "I know, big star."

**
Before Lu Shengsheng's movie was released, Gu Rong asked to meet her.

Lu Shengsheng didn't go alone; she invited Lu Wenzhou along.

When Gu Rong saw them enter hand in hand, her eyes widened for a moment before she quickly looked away.

This gathering was arranged by him for Lin Leyang, after all, he still needed to give her an explanation for the trending topic.

Lin Leyang stood up immediately upon seeing Lu Shengsheng, while Chen Qing'an stood up reluctantly, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

“Sheng Sheng…” Lin Leyang spoke softly.

"You'd be better off calling me Miss Lu." Lu Shengsheng glanced at her with indifferent eyes.

“Miss Lu…” Lin Leyang’s eyes were full of shame and guilt. “I’m so sorry about what happened to your mother. It’s all my fault. Please feel free to ask for anything, and I will do my best to make it up to you.”

"Compensation?" Lu Shengsheng found the word ridiculous. "My mother is dead. Can your compensation bring her back to life?"

"I..." Lin Leyang's face turned pale, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

Chen Qing'an couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak up: "I asked Jiang Lulu to do the trending topic online, it has nothing to do with Yangyang. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Lu Shengsheng glanced at her, her gaze sweeping coldly over her.

“She’s my cousin Chen Qing’an,” Lin Leyang explained. “She did this for me. I was in a bad mood and said a few things I shouldn’t have said to her. It’s all my fault.”

"Of course it's your fault! You knew you shouldn't have said it..." Lu Shengsheng ignored her sweet talk and said sarcastically, "If Miss Lin's mouth can't stay shut, you can sew it up."

"How dare you speak like that?" Chen Qing'an stepped in front of Lin Leyang to shield her, coldly accusing her, "Your mother's death was her own bad luck. What does her cancer have to do with us? Who knows if it's her retribution..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Shengsheng grabbed the ashtray on the table and smashed it hard against her head.

"Ah..." Chen Qing'an screamed in pain, covering her head.

Lin Leyang was startled at first, then said worriedly, "Cousin..." Seeing the blood on Chen Qing'an's hands, she turned to look at Lu Shengsheng, "How could you hit someone?"

Lu Wenzhou and Gu Ronghui were both taken aback, and the latter immediately stood up.

It wasn't that she was angry that Lu Shengsheng hit Chen Qing'an, but rather that she was worried that Chen Qing'an might go crazy and hurt her.

Lu Shengsheng said expressionlessly, "If you utter another word against my mother, I'll kill you!"

Every word she uttered was chilling; it didn't sound like a joke or just empty threats. She was truly capable of doing it.

Lin Leyang quickly stepped in front of Chen Qing'an, "My cousin misspoke, I apologize to you and your mother on her behalf!"

He paused for a moment and then said, "I asked Ah Hui to invite you here today because I sincerely want to apologize to you. I hope this matter can be resolved peacefully. Whatever you ask for, whatever you want me to do, I will do it."

“There’s no peace at all.” Lu Shengsheng threw the ashtray in her hand, still stained with Chen Qing’an’s blood, on the ground because she thought it was dirty.

She glared coldly at Lin Leyang, "Lin Leyang, you owe me a life! I'll make you pay for it sooner or later!"

After saying that, he pulled Lu Wenzhou away.

Lin Leyang turned to look at Chen Qing'an, who was still bleeding, and said, "I'll have the driver take you to the hospital."

Chen Qing'an glanced at Gu Ronghui, who had remained silent, and nodded, saying they would go to the hospital first.

Now only the two of them were left in the private room. Lin Leyang asked, "Are you blaming me too?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained silent.

Gu Rong replied calmly, "Does that matter?"

Lin Leyang's pupils contracted. "Ah Hui, how many years have we known each other? I thought that even if others didn't understand, you should know what kind of person I am. Do I need to target her?"

Gu Rong remained silent.

His silence dimmed Lin Leyang's eyes, then she laughed self-deprecatingly, "I never thought that our friendship of so many years couldn't compare to your short three years with hers."

Disappointed, he grabbed his bag from the chair and turned to leave.

Gu Ronghui sat down again, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and put it in his mouth, exhaling smoke.

Not long after, Secretary Li knocked on the door and entered, "President Gu..."

Gu Rong lowered her gaze: "How is it?"

Secretary Li pushed a document in front of him, "The signature on the loan from Lin's Bank to Jiang Tiansong was Chen Qing'an. Miss Lin did not handle it from beginning to end."

Gu Rong picked up the document, flipped through it casually, and tossed it onto the table. His deep voice said, "Do you think she needs to do this herself?"

Secretary Li was unsure of his meaning and did not respond.

After finishing his cigarette, Gu Rong stubbed it out on the table, his voice tinged with a chill, "Keep an eye on it."

Lu Wenzhou held Lu Shengsheng's hand the whole way, his eyes filled with worry and unease.

Lu Shengsheng noticed his worry and forced a smile, "I'm fine, it's just..."

She paused, then said sadly, "I miss my mom a little."

"Then let's go see them."

"Now?" Lu Shengsheng asked in surprise.

"Now," Lu Wenzhou answered decisively, instructing Old Ma to go to the cemetery.

Lu Shengsheng asked with concern, "Aren't you supposed to go back to the company?"

Lu Wenzhou: "It won't make a difference if it's just one or two hours."
