Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

"When the deer cry out, have you found your sister-in-law yet?"

Not long after finishing his meal, Lu Mingshi received a call from Ying Sangrou.

Lu Mingshi glanced at his older sister and asked for her opinion.

I'm not sure whether I should lie and say I didn't find it, or say I did.

Lu Luozhi shook her head.

Since I've already decided to leave, I'll just pretend I didn't find it.

When Lu Mingshi finished saying he hadn't found it, Ying Sangrou's voice noticeably lowered.

"Okay, I understand. I'll tell Mom."

After hanging up the phone, the siblings looked at each other.

Lu Ming scratched his head awkwardly, "I feel a little bad about lying to my little sister."

Lu Luozhi gently patted his head, smiled, and without saying much, urged him to return to the villa, since it was almost ten o'clock.

"Sis, I'll stay with you tonight. I'm worried you'll be worried about being here alone."

"No need, you can go back. Before they find out, pack your things and mine. Once I've set a time, we can leave with our things."

That's what Luluzhi planned.

"Besides, the fact that you're not going back means you've already found me, so you'd better go back."

Lu Mingshi was persuaded by these words, and twenty minutes later, he took a taxi and left.

Before leaving, he checked the doors and windows and told his sister to call him immediately if anything happened.

"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded."

Lu Luozhi watched him leave into the alley before turning back into the house and closing the door.

The departure of the deer left the room feeling desolate.

She started tidying up the takeout boxes, and when she got to the transparent cake box, she paused for a moment.

Last time, she wanted to tell Ying Yuchuan that it was her birthday.

At that time, she was still thinking of celebrating with him.

As a result... plans never keep up with changes.

She laughed at herself.

I wonder how Ying Yuchuan is doing now.

He should be alright, right?

She hadn't been online all day. After tidying up her things, she curled up on the tattered sofa and finally picked up her phone to go online. She wanted to book a ticket back to Mitian Village.

Grandma has been gone for almost two months, nearly a hundred days. It's time for them to go back and pay their respects.

The 100-day memorial service is an important ceremony in Mitian Village.

When my parents passed away, my grandmother would lead them to pay their respects on the 100th day after their death.

She cannot abandon this ritual.

After booking the tickets, she took the opportunity to browse celebrity gossip news.

It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't swiped it, but once I did, it felt like the world had changed, no, it was like everything had exploded.

She just took a nap.

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and looked at her phone screen again.

The name Li Wan is trending on every social media platform.

Li Wan is a scumbag. She secretly married an old, wealthy man. Her mother was a mistress who took her place in the marriage. Li Wan is an illegitimate child.

Such entries are dazzling.

Did the mistress take over?

Illegal daughter?

Isn't she a rich, beautiful, and successful woman from Beijing?

Isn't she the second young lady of the Li family?

She's still a strong woman.

This was a question in Lu Luozhi's mind.

Filled with questions, she quickly clicked on a post summarized by a helpful netizen.

The character relationships diagram and the sequence of events are all clearly listed.

The more you look, the wider Lu Luozhi's eyes seem to open, as big as eggs.

No way, really?

She was repeatedly surprised.

It turns out that Li Wan's mother was her father's mistress from years ago. After the original wife died of anger, her mother became the wife of the wealthy Li family in Beijing.

Li Wan was born out of wedlock and was raised in another city. She later transferred to Nancheng in her second year of high school.

This was also the beginning of her acquaintance with Ying Yuchuan.

For two years, she relentlessly pursued Ying Yuchuan, all in the hope of becoming the young mistress of the Ying family. When she was about to graduate from high school, she hooked up with another second-generation member of a prominent family in the capital. Through her unremitting efforts, she finally slept with the father of the second-generation member of the prominent family.

She also fulfilled her wish of becoming a stepmother to a second-generation member of the ethnic minority.

However, her marriage to this older man has been kept secret because he doesn't want her to talk about it. He made his fortune through his deceased ex-wife, and he's afraid that her family will have a problem with him.

The marriage didn't last long and ended because the older man died in her bed. Three days after his cremation, she was kicked out of the house by the second generation of her family.

Over the years, the Li family has been embroiled in internal strife. Her conflict with Li Meng, the eldest daughter of the Li family, has a long history. Li Meng has always wanted to get rid of her and not let her inherit the family's property. Li Wan also does not want her to have sole power and wants to curry favor with Ying Yuchuan to consolidate her own power.

As it turned out, oh dear, the plane crashed halfway through the journey.

Her carefully crafted persona post was completely refuted by Ying Yuchuan.

Ying Yuchuan personally took action, registering accounts on various platforms under his own name. He only had one sentence:

[Regarding the various rumors that Li Wan has spread against me, the matter has been handed over to our company's legal department for full handling.]

The old feelings that are hard to forget, the twelve-year wait—all suddenly seem like a joke.

Li Wan indeed became a laughing stock on the entire internet.

Countless netizens are thoroughly enjoying the gossip.

What a dramatic saga of the year!

After seeing all this, Lu Luozhi was stunned for a long time.

So this is what Li Wan is like.

The "rich, beautiful, and successful woman" persona is just a facade. From the beginning, she was an illegitimate child who desperately wanted to climb the social ladder, resorting to any means necessary and scheming.

So, everything that happened to Ying Yuchuan was something she orchestrated?

She looked at it, lost in thought.

Just a few seconds later, a sudden ringing of her cell phone pulled her back to reality.

It was her son, the blond-haired one, who called.

"Hey, blondie? What's up? Are you back?"

"Sis, I just got back to the villa."

Lu Mingshi spoke rapidly, "But the hospital just called Uncle Ying and the others, saying that my brother-in-law sneaked out of the hospital, and nobody knows where he went."

"Sis, do you think he went to look for you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Luozhi was shocked.

Did Ying Yuchuan escape from the hospital?

"My brother-in-law almost got myocarditis, and now his health is so poor... Uncle Ying and the others are extremely worried. They've already sent many people to look for him. Should I go out and help look for him too?"

My heart jumped into my throat.

Why didn't he tell her before that Ying Yuchuan almost got myocarditis?

This is a disease that can kill people very quickly.

"Sis, are you listening to me?"

Lu Luozhi thought for a moment, "Yellow Hair, I'll talk to you later, I'll make a phone call to find him."

After hanging up the phone, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number in her phone that she knew all too well.

If Ying Yuchuan really gets into trouble because of her, she will be held responsible.

The call was answered in a second.

"Ying Yuchuan".

She had barely opened her mouth when a weak male voice, tinged with a slight laugh, rang out from the other end.

"I knew you would call me right away."

"Lu Luozhi, you see, you still love me, Ying Yuchuan, right? You know that when I ran away from the hospital, Lu Mingshi would definitely tell you, and you, too, couldn't resist your own heart and called me."

He chuckled softly. "Looks like I won my bet after all."

"Did you do this on purpose?"

Lu Luozhi calmly questioned him.

"Yes, it was intentional."

He also honestly admitted it.

"But if I didn't do this, would you be willing to call me first? No."

He denied it on her behalf.

"Lu Luozhi, you have a really hard heart, really, too hard. So hard that this is the only way I could come up with."

"Go home if you have nothing else to do."

She softened her tone, "Your parents are worried about you."

Are you worried about me?

He then asked her in return, "Luozhi, are you worried about me?"
