Chapter Thirty-Six: The River of Glory

When I woke up again, I was greeted by a strong smell of disinfectant water.

I woke up suddenly, and just wanted to sit up from the bed, only to react violently, this wound all over my body hurt so much that people gasped.

After a long pause, I sat up slowly by holding on to the railing next to me, and at a glance I caught a glimpse of a delicate little card on the cabinet next to the hospital bed.

I reached over and looked at it, but there were only two large gilded letters on it.

Rong River.

On the back is a string of phone numbers.

The whole business card is delicate like a handicraft.

Rong He, Rong Er Shao?

I held it in my hand, and my brain was spinning very slowly.

In the last second before I fell unconscious, what I saw was clearly Zhu Xiao.

So, who sent me to the hospital, was it Zhu Xiao's person, or this Rong Ershao?

What does it mean that he left this business card?

Before I could turn my mind, there was a soft click at the door.

I subconsciously took the business card into the palm of my hand, and with a twist of my fingers, I tucked my palm into the quilt.

It was an acquaintance who came in, Lu Huai'an.

He should be on duty today, wearing a white coat meticulously on his body, and a stethoscope around his neck as usual.

I paused and watched him speak.

"Dr. Lu."

He bowed slightly, took a step, and in a few steps he was already in front of the bed, staring at me condescendingly, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

"How did you get that?"

I was stunned and stared blankly at him.

Lu Huai'an raised his eyebrows, seeing that I didn't answer, he simply bent over, sat on the edge of my hospital bed very casually, and stared at me with his hands folded.

"I didn't go to work last night, and I heard the little nurse in the emergency department say early in the morning that you were brought to the hospital in the middle of the night, saying that you were covered in injuries."

"Cheng Lan, where did you go to get the money again?"

At that moment, my whole brain thudred, and my eyes almost exploded into a snow-white patch.

Lu Huai'an's tone was normal, but as soon as these words entered my ears, I only felt that I had no place to put my face, and the sense of shame was about to destroy me in an instant.

But in fact, he probably didn't mean that.

Lu Huai'an raised his eyebrows, probably because he saw that my face was not good, and he pursed his lips in a hurry.

"I didn't mean that."

“…… Let's put it this way, now Zhao Pingsheng's illness is not a problem that money can solve at all, do you understand? ”

He stared at me with his arms crossed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

I was silent for a long time before I blinked hard, eager to take a few steps back, but the hospital bed was so narrow that I couldn't retreat.

“…… I understand. ”

Lu Huai'an wanted to say something more, but I quickly interrupted him.

"Dr. Lu, I see what you mean, thank you...... Your care. ”

He was silent, and suddenly turned his eyes to stare at me, as if disappointed, and stared at me for a few seconds.

At that moment, I thought he had a lot to say.

In the end, he didn't say a word.

He only looked at me, and he straightened himself up, without even saying hello, and walked out of the ward.

How could I not understand what he meant?

Maybe it was care, or maybe it was exhortation, he was kind after all, but I rejected him mercilessly.

The injuries on my body were all skin wounds, and when I woke up, there was nothing important except for fever.

So thinking that there was still filming in the crew, I quickly got up from the bed, changed my clothes and went to the hospital, and hurriedly took a taxi to the crew.

……

After entering the studio, the temperature suddenly went up.

As I walked into the dressing room, I unzipped my down jacket and looked around trying to find Gu Miaomiao's figure.

The little girl didn't seem to have gone to work yet.

There was a lot of noise on the set, and Director Huang was walking around the scene with a walkie-talkie, and when he saw me, a touch of surprise crossed his eyes.

"Cheng Lan? Didn't you give you a holiday? Why are you still here? ”

He asked me with a frown, but he was confused.

"Holiday?"

I couldn't help but carefully recall Director Huang's words that day, and I clearly remember that what he said that day was to give me a day off, and he didn't say how many days the holiday would last.

But before Director Huang could answer, a clear voice suddenly appeared behind me.

"Yo, Cheng Lan, are you back?"

It turned out to be Ning Xiaoxi?!

I was stunned, and she had already walked in front of me.

The woman's delicate Danfeng eyes are narrow and long, and her figure is slender and enchanting, even if she just stands there upright, she looks full of noble and elegant temperament.

Except, in the eyes that looked at me, there was a contempt that could not be dissolved.

"Miss Ning, morning."

I paused and greeted her with a smile.

No matter how much she dislikes me, the status gap between the first and second women is there, I can't let her grasp the handle elsewhere, so no matter how big her temper is, I can only endure it now.

Ning Xiaoxi lifted her lips coldly and stared at me unceremoniously.

"Cheng Lan, I've heard that you have good means, but I always thought you had some acting skills before."

"I didn't expect you to love to do that kind of dirty thing like crawling on someone's bed."

Her voice was crisp, and it slammed into my head word by word.

There was a commotion around, but I could hear it clearly.

"What did you say?"

I furrowed my eyebrows suddenly, who can bear to be scolded by pointing at his nose like this?

The atmosphere seemed to be sharpened all of a sudden, and the people passing by around couldn't help but notice the tense atmosphere on our side, and they all paused to watch the excitement on the side.

Director Huang's face changed suddenly, his lips moved, and he just wanted to interject, but Ning Xiaoxi unceremoniously snatched the conversation.

"What, Cheng Lan, do you think I wronged you?"

"It wasn't you who followed Zhu Xiao that day? Or are you not taking all the resources that Zhu Xiao has given over the years? ”

She sneered and raised her eyebrows at me, her narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, staring at me extremely mockingly.

I was on fire in an instant, and I couldn't help but clench my fists fiercely.

"You know what?"

Why did she say that about me?!

Could it be that she is backed by the Ning family, just because she is of noble birth and her family is rich?

Can you trample on others without any scruples like this?!

"Heh, I know what."

Ning Xiaoxi was more like she didn't take my temper seriously at all, and still had a sarcastic look without scruples.

"Cheng Lan, at least I understand that everything I want should be fought for by my own efforts."

"It's not like you, by selling your dignity to get it."

She pursed her lips and stared at me with a cold snort, in an extremely contemptuous tone.

"It's a shame for a woman."

She looked down on me unabashedly, and judged me from the moral high ground from beginning to end.

All of a sudden, I was speechless.

Some people, from birth to the present, have never suffered the hardships of life.

No matter how much you tell her about reality, she won't be able to understand it.
