Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight
Chapter 56: Conquering the Arrogant Young Master of a Wealthy Family
The car was parked at the hospital entrance, where medical staff who had been informed were already waiting.
The car door opened, but Chen Su didn't get out herself. She turned slightly to face Lu Yuze, opened her arms naturally, stared at him with her beautiful eyes, and pursed her pink lips. Her posture was so self-righteous that it seemed like it was only natural.
Lu Yu glanced at her sideways, letting out a low, ambiguous hum that seemed both mocking and sarcastic. He then bent down, slipped his arms under her knees and back, and steadily lifted her out of the room.
She was carried into the examination room, where an experienced doctor immediately stepped forward, carefully removed her silver high heel, and meticulously examined her ankle.
Palpation, pressure, joint movement...
The doctor moved gently, and Chen Su cooperated by slightly frowning, pretending to endure the pain.
But in fact, that slight pain had long since disappeared, and the faint red marks on the skin had gradually faded along the way, returning to a smooth and flawless white.
"Strange..." The leading doctor examined her carefully and then gently moved her ankle. Chen Su's joints moved freely without any stiffness.
"Ms. Chen, how are you feeling now? Where exactly is the pain?"
"It's here...and here..." Chen Su pointed haphazardly, her voice a little delicate, "It hurts a little when I move it."
She spoke vaguely, her eyes darting around.
The doctors exchanged glances, clearly finding no typical signs of external injury or acute sprain.
An older doctor cautiously suggested, "From the appearance and initial palpation, there doesn't seem to be any obvious problem. However, just to be on the safe side, let's take an X-ray. In case there's any minor bone fracture or soft tissue damage, it's better to detect it early and treat it properly."
"Okay, okay..." Chen Su nodded immediately and continued speaking in accordance with the doctor's words.
"No."
Lu Yuze's indifferent voice suddenly interrupted her agreement.
The consultation room fell silent instantly.
Chen Su looked up in surprise and met Lu Yuze's gaze.
He stood a few steps away, his hands in his trouser pockets, his posture upright. The light cast small shadows on his deep-set eyes, making it impossible to discern his exact expression.
But his gaze was tangible, sharp and penetrating, slowly sweeping across her somewhat stiff face before finally settling on her slender, pale ankles.
There seemed to be a very faint smile on his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes; instead, it made the surrounding air feel even colder.
"She looks very energetic and lively."
Chen Su's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at him and blinked a few times unconsciously.
Lu Yu then lifted his leg and walked a few steps to the examination bed, looking down at her.
He suddenly reached out and pinched her soft cheek with his calloused fingertips, applying slight pressure.
"What are you pretending for, Chen Su?" He leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her forehead, his voice low, so only the two of them could hear, "Is it fun? Hmm?"
His fingers gripped the weight lightly, yet with an unyielding force.
Chen Su was forced to tilt her head back, colliding with his unfathomable light-colored eyes.
There was no playfulness or indulgence she was familiar with in it, only a cold insight and an undisguised displeasure at being fooled.
Seeing this, the doctors and nurses exchanged knowing glances, quietly left the examination room, and considerately closed the door behind them.
"Ugh..." Chen Su's cheeks hurt slightly from his pinching, and she let out a muffled whimper, her eyes widening as her long eyelashes trembled in panic.
She was about to defend herself, but when she met his eyes, which seemed to see through everything, all the words she had prepared stuck in her throat.
Lu Yu didn't seem to expect her to answer.
He gently stroked her slightly reddened cheek with his fingertips, then released his grip.
His hands hung back at his sides, his fingers long and slender with distinct knuckles, appearing clean and strong under the cold white light.
"There won't be a next time." He said calmly, yet with weight.
His gaze shifted from her face, carrying the imposing aura of someone in a superior position.
This warning clearly refers to her attempt to deceive him by feigning illness.
After saying that, he didn't look at her again, turned around, opened the door of the consultation room, and walked out by himself, his back straight.
Chen Su sat on the examination bed, touched the face he had pinched, stared at the empty doorway, and blinked.
She slowly put on her shoes, straightened her slightly disheveled skirt, and then walked out of the consultation room.
Lu Yuze was nowhere to be seen in the corridor.
_
The driver waited respectfully by the car, but Lu Yu came out first with a normal expression and got into the car.
Ms. Chen, who came out next, was still dazzlingly beautiful, but her expression was noticeably listless, unlike her cheerful demeanor when she arrived.
He kept his eyes down, not asking any questions, and simply drove steadily.
The atmosphere in the train carriage on the return journey was somber and somewhat oppressive.
Chen Su leaned back quietly in her chair, watching the night view rushing past the window, unusually refraining from starting a conversation.
Lu Yuze closed his eyes to rest, his profile appearing cold and indifferent in the flowing light and shadow outside the window.
The car smoothly drove into the Chen family villa area and stopped in front of the brightly lit European-style building.
The driver got out of the car and opened the car door for Chen Su.
Chen Su did not go down immediately.
She turned her head and looked at Lu Yuze, who was still standing beside her with his eyes closed.
The car was dimly lit, and half of his well-defined face was hidden in shadow, making it impossible to see his expression.
She bit her lower lip, her voice soft and gentle, with a hint of coaxing: "I've arrived, Brother Yuze, bye-bye..."
Lu Yu then slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm and unwavering. He didn't even look at her, but stared straight ahead, letting out a faint "hmm" through his nose as a response.
Chen Su then slowly got out of the car.
A cool night breeze brushed against her bare arms. She stood in the warm light in front of the villa, watching the black Maybach glide silently into the night without stopping, quickly disappearing into the distance, its red taillights fading at the end of the road.
Only when the car was completely out of sight did the slight frustration and ingratiation on Chen Su's face vanish instantly.
She tilted her head slightly, a sly yet satisfied smile curving her lips.
Back in the brightly lit villa, she went straight to the kitchen and instructed the cook on night duty: "Tomorrow morning, make me a few small cakes, something delicate. Make two or three separately, with less sugar, preferably almost no sweetness."
Lying in the huge jacuzzi, the warm water enveloping her body, Chen Su closed her eyes and called out in her mind, "007, Lu Yuze will be at the Lu family's main residence all day tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, host." The system's mechanical voice sounded smoothly. "Target Lu Yuze will be handling family affairs at the Lu family's main residence all day tomorrow. No plans to go out."
"What about the time Lin Zhixia spends tutoring Lu Yichuan?"
The fixed time is 5:30 PM daily, and the session usually lasts for two hours.
5:30 PM...
Chen Su opened her eyes, and through the misty steam, her eyes were clear and bright.
_
The following morning, the sun shone brightly.
Chen Su got up early and specially chose an outfit that looked fresh and a little playful.
A light pink knitted crop top paired with a white high-waisted pleated mini skirt reveals a slender, supple waist and long, straight legs.
Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing her smooth and full forehead. She wore light makeup, which made her look youthful, beautiful and charming.
She looked at herself in the mirror from left to right, making sure every part was perfect, before picking up the exquisitely packaged cake box and getting into the Rolls-Royce.
"Go to the Lu family's main residence," she instructed the driver.
The Lu family's main residence is located on a secluded hillside in the west of the city. It is a vast manor combining Chinese and Western styles, with an extraordinary grandeur that far surpasses the Chen family villa.
The car drove through the ornate iron gate and along the neatly trimmed tree-lined avenue for quite a while before stopping in front of the main building.
"Go back now, don't wait for me."
Before getting out of the car, Chen Su gave instructions to the driver.
Carrying the cake box, she walked briskly towards the main gate of the house.
As soon as I entered the front garden, I ran into Mr. Lu, who was taking a morning walk.
The old man was over seventy years old, but he was in good spirits, had a kind face, and his hair was neatly combed. He was wearing a Chinese-style jacket and leaning on a sandalwood cane.
But when those eyes, which have weathered countless storms, look at people, they always possess a kind of insightful, authoritative power.
The two families were old friends. Chen Su often came to the Lu family to play when she was a child. She was also very sweet-talking and was well-liked by the old man.
"Good morning, Grandpa Lu!" Chen Su immediately greeted him with her brightest smile and a clear voice.
The old man turned around at the sound of her voice, and when he saw her, a kind smile appeared on his face: "Oh, it's Su Su. What brings you here today?"
"I came to see Brother Yuze." Chen Su shook the cake box in her hand, her tone carrying just the right amount of shyness, "and I also brought him a small cake."
Upon hearing this, the old man chuckled knowingly, his gaze sweeping over her bright smile and the exquisite cake box. He pointed upstairs: "Go ahead, that boy is in his study upstairs. If he bullies you, tell Grandpa."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Lu!" Chen Su replied obediently, and ran briskly towards the main house.
She certainly knows this place very well.
Upon reaching the second floor, standing before the heavy, carved mahogany door of the study, Chen Su took a deep breath, composed herself, and then raised her hand to gently knock on the door.
"Enter."
A deep, magnetic male voice came from inside, but his emotions were unreadable through the door.
Chen Su pushed the door open and went in, then gently closed it behind her.
She didn't go forward immediately, but stood obediently at the door, holding the cake box tied with a ribbon in both hands, her eyelashes slightly lowered, then she raised them again, looking at the figure behind the desk, her voice soft and gentle.
Good morning, Brother Yuze.
Lu Yu was sitting behind a large ebony desk, facing a laptop screen, his fingers rapidly tapping the keyboard, seemingly processing some documents.
Hearing the sound, he paused slightly in his tapping and glanced at her.
Today, she was dressed exceptionally sweetly, her high ponytail making her face appear even smaller and more delicate, and the pink and white color scheme was fresh and elegant.
"Good morning," he replied, his tone flat and emotionless, before turning his gaze back to the screen.
Seeing that he didn't ignore her, Chen Su felt a little relieved. She picked up the cake box and moved slowly to the desk.
She gently placed the cake box on the corner of the table, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and blinked her big eyes:
"Brother Yuze, these are the little cakes I made myself this morning."
She emphasized the word "personally," saying, "Yesterday... it was my fault. I shouldn't have... shouldn't have lied to you. Consider this an apology. Try it... don't be angry with me anymore."
She raised her eyes, her thick eyelashes fluttering, her gaze filled with anticipation and a hint of nervousness as she observed Lu Yuze's reaction.
