Chapter 540: Lu Yaoyao Injured

uo Yuan Technology with his own hands for Shu Tinglan, and he couldn't even expose Wen Jian's actions. 。Zuo Yuan Technology is not just about him as an individual, it concerns the entire industry, te...Lu Shaoxing had just been scolded by his ex-wife, a torrent of insults. He had just hung up the phone when a series of heavy footsteps echoed down the hallway. The sound sent shivers down his spine; only the patriarch of the family could make such a noise.

The old man's love for Lu Yaoyao is well known to everyone. He would even feel heartache if she sneezed, let alone something as serious as this.

The result was unexpected. The old man came over, didn't even glance at Lu Shaohang, and sat very calmly in a chair outside the operating room. Perhaps due to his upbringing as a general in his youth, the more urgent the matter, the calmer he became. Only his posture showed his nervousness.

Lu Shaoxing stood before the elder, comforting him.

“The doctor just checked me, said it’s a mild burn, nothing serious.”

The old man's face was stern as he glared at him: "A mild burn isn't an injury How can you be a father to someone, you scoundrel!"

The old man was seething with anger, nowhere to vent it. Thinking of his precious granddaughter suffering in the operating room filled him with heartache, he wished he could go in and take her place.

After about two hours of surgery, Lu Yaoyao was finally wheeled out. A crowd gathered around her once more. At this point, besides the pain, Lu Yaoyao didn't feel as fearful and scared as she had before. The doctor had just told her...

She had a mild burn, and it wasn't very big, so it wasn't serious. Seeing her father and uncles there made her feel safer, and she actually comforted her grandfather, saying she was fine and he shouldn't worry.

When she gets a minor injury, she can't help but make a big fuss about it. But when she's truly hurt, knowing her family cares, she puts on a brave face and doesn't want to worry them.

The old man had been tough as iron his whole life, having experienced countless injuries, both big and small, in his youth. So, he had a hard heart. But seeing his beloved granddaughter bearing pain and comforting him instead, his heart skipped a beat and his eyes almost welled up.

"It's alright, it's alright. Let's not talk anymore. Just get back to the ward and take good care of yourself."

Everyone was relieved, along with their concern.

When Lu Kuo and Hao Jie arrived from Senzhou, most of the people had already left. Only Grandpa, Lu Shaohang, and her assistant remained.

Lu YaoYao just had a nap and woke up feeling a bit more refreshed. Seeing Lu Kuo and Hao Jie, she persuaded her grandpa and dad to go home to rest. It was already past midnight and she was worried they wouldn't be able to stay up any longer because of their age.

Then the old man didn't insist: "You have a good rest, grandpa will come see you tomorrow."

Then, she turned to Lu Kuo and instructed him, “Take good care of your sister.”

Once all the elders left, there was only Lu Kuò, Hao Jie, and his assistant in the ward. Lu Kuò felt both heartbroken and couldn't help but scold her.

“Are you out of your mind What are you doing running into a fire”

On the way here, my assistant gave me a detailed account of what happened, so I find it hard to comprehend.

Lu Yaoyao's diamond anklet was now in her hospital gown pocket. Of course, she couldn't tell the truth; if Lu Kuo knew she had risked her life for a necklace, he'd probably kill her.

She explained, "It was an accident. When I went in, the fire in the dressing room wasn't very big, and it was only a few meters away."

"The fire needs to be bigger, you'd be lying in a morgue instead of a hospital bed now."

Lu Kuo loved her deeply and felt a heavy responsibility. After scolding her, he thought it was too harsh and inauspicious, so he muttered to himself twice.

Knowing Lu Kuò was worried about her, she didn't get angry. She mainly didn't have the energy to be angry.

Haojie understands her best. Sitting by the bedside, she began to explain things to her.

“Don't worry, honey. I checked it out. Your mild burn doesn't require a skin graft. At most, it will leave a slight scar. I consulted with a plastic surgeon, and there are scar removal creams now that work very well. Plus, you usually wear dresses, so just a little concealer can cover it up.”

"Thank you, Hao Jie. You're the best."

The assistant sat there dumbfounded, a little shaken, for a long time before she seemed to come back to herself.

Lu Yaoyao let Hao Jie take her back to rest, she also needed to rest. Although this ward was a special care ward, it wasn't good to have so many people staying here. The nurses had already notified them several times.

Hao Jie left with her assistant.

Lu Kuo didn't leave, he stayed in the living room outside the ward, replying to messages from Ruan Ruan and Ting Lan. They were originally coming over too, but he stopped them. As the main base of the Lu family is in the capital, they could mobilize the best resources here. They wouldn't be much help if they came.

Inside, Lu Yaoyao has finally calmed down and wants to find her phone, but she discovers that her phone was taken away by her absent-minded assistant and is probably dead.

I wonder if that person saw the news

Gu Ruandong was socializing last night. He and General Manager Wang went yesterday afternoon.

At the auction, he bought the most expensive pearl as a gift and went to the banquet.

At the auction, Gu Ruandong also bought a pair of pearl earrings, carefully putting them into his suit pocket. This surprised Wang, the head of the company. Then, he had a change of heart and bought a string of pearl necklaces for his wife. He might play outside, but he still needs to take care of his wife.

In the evening, the other party hosted a banquet at home. They toasted each other, all of them prominent figures in the local area, and had a lively conversation.

Gu Ruandong was actually very good at these social gatherings. Seeing him lean casually on his chair, one might think he wasn't paying attention. But in reality, every toast and every word he spoke hit the mark, making everyone feel comfortable. Especially the wives of those present, after receiving his precious pearl necklace, they already had a good impression of him. Now, with his current demeanor, even without doing anything, he was extremely captivating, making people want to steal glances or letting their imaginations run wild.

As for Gu Ruandong's request for help, he readily agreed, his words flowing like honey. Wang, observing from the side, couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. It seemed men could also get things done with "beauty." He was mesmerizing these wealthy ladies into submission, yet the one possessing this "beauty" remained indifferent and even dismissive of it all.

Gu Ruandong usually doesn't bring his personal phone when he attends social events, and few people contact him through his personal phone. So tonight, he didn't bring it either. Since this dinner party was mainly attended by important local figures, he had quite a bit to drink and was somewhat intoxicated. He returned to the hotel very late and saw that there was a missed call from Lu Yaoyao on his phone.

A hint of a smile played on his lips, easing the weariness that had settled upon him after a long night. He smelled of stale alcohol mingled with various perfumes, a cloying aroma all its own.

While she was returning his phone call, she took her clothes off and went to take a bath.im to let her in when suddenly Lu Yaoyao's voice came from behind her, "Lawyer Shu, are you here to see your good friend" Lu Yaoyao was well-informed and came to Zhuo Yuan Technology just to watch th...
