Chapter 37 - Lets sleep together for a night? (1)
Lu Liting arrived at the hospital at 9 AM. He rushed over here after receiving Meng Xun's call.
In a hospital hallway, Lu Liting met Meng Xun and asked, "Where's Weiwei?"
Meng Xun raised her chin to gesture at the closed hospital room. "She's inside."
"What happened?"
Meng Xun looked at the handsome man standing in front of her and quietly said, "Tianyu Entertainment posted a clarifying statement on Weibo today about the injuries that Weiwei's got from a month ago. At that time, Weiwei had multiple fractures, and there was a wound on her face too. It might have adversely affected her future in the entertainment industry. That's why she's hasn't been in a good mood since then.
Fortunately, I was able to get her a few interviews for endorsements and acting roles. Weiwei had been preparing for those interviews for a long time despite not feeling well. But, after the company issued the clarifying statement, they gave all of Weiwei's endorsements and acting roles to Ji Qingqing. And, Ji Qingqing's agent just called me and said they're going to hold Weiwei accountable for what happened. Its my fault for not hiding this news from Weiwei. Once Weiwei found out, she was too upset and she...
Lu Liting was horribly gloomy. "I understand."
After saying this, he pushed the door open and went inside.
Meng Xun stood outside the hospital room. Through the window in the room, she saw Shen Weiwei throwing herself into Lu Liting's arms. Her lips curved up into a meaningful smile.
In the hospital room, Lu Liting hugged Shen Weiwei. Looking at the gauze around her wrist, he felt distressed and angry, "Why did you do something so stupid?"
Shen Weiwei buried her face in Lu Liting's chest. She shook her head and sobbed.
Shen Weiwei, who had been lying in the hospital room for a month, had gotten increasingly thin. Her small face had become more angular, and her complexion was deathly pale. The hospital clothing looked like a loose tent on her thin figure. After Lu Liting asked her that question, a tear fell from her eye. Her fragility evoked pity and a man's desire to protect.
Lu Liting softens his tone without noticing. His anger was gone and only the distress he felt for her remained. Still supporting her, he sat down on the side of her bed. "Don't be scared. Tell me what's wrong. I'll help you."
Shen Weiwei started to weep. She covered the right side of her face, there was a long scar there.
She looked at Lu Liting with words to say but kept stopping before saying anything. Her eyes were brimming with tears. It was as if she had a bellyful of grievance she wanted to say, but in the end, she swallowed them down to bear the burden alone. She stubbornly said, "I'm fine."
Lu Liting sighed. Weiwei always acted like this in front of him. No matter what troubles she encountered, she wanted to face them alone. She didn't want to bother him with her troubles or complain about other people to him. He always had to check everything himself if he wanted to know what happened.
"Weiwei, I'm your boyfriend. When you've been harmed, I hope that you can tell me what happened no matter what it was about. I'll protect you."
Shen Weiwei shook her head. She stubbornly happily laughed, "I haven't been wronged."
"How long do you plan on hiding the truth from me?"
I
"Your agent has already told me what happened. It doesn't matter if your injuries were caused by Ji Qingqing pushing you or not. You only fell down the hill because she came looking for you to cause trouble! And now, she wants to hold you accountable?"
In the past, he was blind. When he met Ji Qingqing for the first time, he thought that she might occasionally be petty. But, the truth was that she was vicious. She was ruled by jealousy and quibbled over everything.
"It was my fault. The situation at the time was chaotic, so I mistakenly thought she pushed me down the hill. Not only was Ji Qingqing detained at the police station for a few days, she was also cursed by people... If she wants to hold me accountable, I have no room for criticism. It's only that..."
Weiwei
Shen Weiwei pulled up the corner of her lips into a smile, which made the scar on her right cheek even more obvious. "Liting, don't worry about me. I've thought things through after this experience. At worst, we can go back to that rental apartment. We can each look for a job. We'll be able to save up money later. We can still have a good life."
