The Byoukidere Is Her Sweetie-Chapter 267 - : Going for a prenatal checkup, Lu Sheng protects his wife (second update)
Chapter 267: 267: Going for a prenatal checkup, Lu Sheng protects his wife (second update)
Lu Sheng suspected this wasn’t the Jiang Zhi she knew.
Zhou Xufang said, “I’m going to handle the hospital admission procedures.”
It was only then that Jiang Zhi noticed Lu Sheng. “Why has she come?” Her tone was not very welcoming.
Lu Sheng and Jiang Zhi had a feud, all business-related.
“She came to visit the sick,” Zhou Xufang said.
Jiang Zhi was pale, looking somewhat sickly: “You’re quite well-informed, Second Miss Lu.”
Her tone was like that of a noble young master who was difficult to deal with.
It was not just like that; Jiang Zhi was difficult to deal with.
Lu Sheng, equally of noble birth, was calm, “It’s alright.”
She thought, this is awkward now, the Lu Family and the Jiang Family are enemies, what if they have to become relatives in the future…
Enemies meant nothing, as long as she could pursue Zhou Qingrang, she wouldn’t need to bear the Lu surname; she would take the Zhou surname. Besides, Jiang Zhi was an in-law, and she wouldn’t lose out in terms of family relations.
Zhou Qingrang didn’t have any major issues; he was just physically weak and needed to be observed and rest in the hospital for a few days, currently asleep.
Zhou Xufang and Lu Sheng both stood guard outside the hospital room, while Jiang Zhi sat next to his girlfriend.
It was already past ten o’clock.
“Go sleep in the room downstairs,” Jiang Zhi whispered to Zhou Xufang.
Zhou Xufang shook his head, refusing to sleep, “You go sleep.”
Jiang Zhi stayed seated, his hand on Zhou Xufang’s shoulder, “I can’t sleep without holding you.”
Zhou Xufang: “…” Lu Sheng was still nearby.
Lu Sheng pretended not to hear.
She really hadn’t pictured Jiang Zhi this way in front of his girlfriend.
After Zhou Xufang fell asleep, Jiang Zhi gently lifted her, “You want to pursue Zhou Qingrang?” he asked softly.
Lu Sheng didn’t deny it, “Is there a problem?”
“No.”
People of the Four Great Families all knew that the Lu Family was very protective, unlike other noble and wealthy families where blood relatives fought viciously over power and profit. The Lu Family was an exception; they were protective and only hostile externally, not internally.
Jiang Zhi thought it would be nice for Zhou Qingrang to get involved with the Lu Family.
“My girlfriend and I are downstairs, call us if there’s anything.”
Lu Sheng: “Alright.”
Ah, Jiang Zhi carried the person, turning his head back lightly and added quietly, not wanting to disturb the person in his arms, “The injury on Zhou Qingrang’s shoulder was caused by Luo Huaiyu.”
The Lu Family, always protective.
Lu Sheng stood up from her seat, walked to the stairway, and made a phone call.
“Second Miss.”
It was apparent that President Lu was furious: “From now on, if it’s Luo Family’s business, seize it for me.”
Secretary: “…” He could almost see the warfare.
That same night, Luo Huaiyu was also brought to the Fifth Hospital with a head wound, which was serious for an elderly person. He developed a high fever overnight, and although not life-threatening, he still hadn’t regained consciousness by the next morning.
Luo Yinghe came in the morning and sat in the hospital for a while before becoming restless, “I’m going back.”
Xu Yunci stopped her, “Your grandfather hasn’t woken up yet, wait for him to wake up before you go.”
Luo Yinghe was impatient, “If you want to wait, wait, but I don’t have the time to waste here.”
She turned her head and walked away; hardly a few steps out of the room, someone bumped into her shoulder, knocking off her sunglasses. She was irritated, “Are you blind?”
The person who bumped her slowly looked up, with messy short hair and casual clothes, but when she spoke, it was commanding, “Who are you talking about?”
It was Lu Sheng, the Second Miss Lu.
In Imperial City, the unassailable Imperial Princess.
The Luo Family was nowhere near the Lu Family in status, and Luo Yinghe dared not openly offend her. Her voice automatically quieted down, “You bumped into me first.”
Small fish eat shrimp, big fish eat small fish.
This is the rule.
Lu Sheng, rushed out yesterday, dressed like a harmless student. Of course, she was no pushover, “Which eye saw me bump into you? Tell me, so I can gouge it out for you.”
Luo Yinghe: “…”
Being a Lu, does she get to be so arrogant?
She held back her anger, not uttering a word.
Silence didn’t matter; Lu Sheng spoke unhurriedly, “Since neither eye saw me bumping you, shouldn’t you apologize?”
Luo Yinghe, pampered and impatient, couldn’t restrain herself any longer, disregarding the Lu Family’s influence, angrily said, “Lu Sheng, are you deliberately troubling me?”
Lu Sheng shoved her hands into the pockets of her sweatpants, “You’re just noticing now?” She glanced at Luo Yinghe, “You’re pretty stupid.”
“…”
Where had she offended this demanding little girl? Making a fuss over nothing!
She was fuming, took off her mask, and snapped, “Are you sick or something? How did I offend you? Picking a fight for no reason!”
Just as Lu Sheng was about to speak, someone beat her to it, “Who are you calling sick?”
Lu Sheng turned around, “Granny.”
Mrs. Lu approached, followed by a secretary.
The old lady was dressed simply in an old jacket, her makeup and hair neatly done, giving her a spirited and slightly more imposing appearance with her half-white hair.
Lu Sheng asked her grandmother, “What are you doing here?”
Mrs. Lu was always economical with words, “Health check.” She looked at Luo Yinghe, recognizing her as someone’s daughter but not recalling her name, “Luo family, who are you calling sick?”
The Lu family members protected their own, especially the old lady, the champion of favoritism.
Calling a member of the Lu family sick was like begging for trouble.
Luo Yinghe, having only seen the old lady a few times, was naturally frightened and quickly changed her tone, trembling, “Mrs. Lu.”
The old lady’s tone wasn’t too harsh, but it was oppressive enough to make one feel breathless, “I don’t know what conflict you’ve had with our Shengsheng, but it’s never right to insult others.” Pretending to be oblivious.
In all of Imperial City, the only person who could match this old lady was the Jiang family’s old madam.
Regardless of how reluctant Luo Yinghe was, she had to behave properly, “I was rude.”
“Then apologize.”
She gritted her teeth and apologized quietly, “Sorry.”
“Be more careful with your words in the future.”
“I understand.” Old hag!
Luo Yinghe internally fumed but respectfully took her leave on the surface.
Lu Sheng blocked her way, leaned in, and whispered in her ear, “Pass a message to your grandfather, Zhou Qingrang belongs to my Lu family, and he’s untouchable.”
It was all because of that cripple. With clenched fists, Luo Yinghe stormed off, fuming.
Lu Sheng felt relieved and cheerfully called out, “Granny.”
Mrs. Lu chided, “Stop grinning at me.” She glanced into the hospital room and asked, “Is that Zhou Qingrang inside?”
Having lived for seventy or eighty years, what hadn’t she seen? How could she not know what her granddaughter was up to?
Lu Sheng nodded.
Mrs. Lu didn’t inquire about the entanglements between Zhou Qingrang and the Luo family, merely asking, “How is his health now?”
Lu Sheng looked into the hospital room, her face filled with concern, “Not very good.”
Zhou Qingrang’s health was poor, not just his legs, but his heart had problems and post-traumatic symptoms as well; in short, everything was problematic, surviving the car accident was a miracle.
Mrs. Lu was also worried, her granddaughter could have liked anyone better, but she had to fall for him, “If you end up with him, visiting the hospital will become routine. Prepare yourself mentally, and if you’re not patient enough, better clear things up with him early.”
The young girl earnestly responded, “I know.”
The old lady didn’t nag any further, “Don’t go to the office today, let your secretary contact me if anything comes up.”
She immediately beamed with joy, “Thank you, Granny.”
When Zhou Xufang woke up, Jiang Zhi had already left the hospital; he had left a note that he had gone to the police station to give a statement. There was a big fire last night, the Luo family reported it, and since Jiang Zhi mysteriously appeared at the Luo Family, the police naturally wanted to question him.
She went out to buy breakfast, and by the time she returned to the hospital room, Lu Sheng was already inside, and Zhou Qingrang was awake too, and they seemed to be talking. She waited outside, not wanting to interrupt.
Fang Lixiang called, “Xu Fang.” She said on the phone, “I’m setting off now, will be there in half an hour.”
They had arranged to meet this Saturday, today, to sneak in and visit the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Zhou Xufang instructed her, “Drive to Parking Lot 3, I’ll meet you there.” That parking lot was for internal use only and wouldn’t be frequented by paparazzi.
“Okay.”
“Lixiang.” She couldn’t help but share the good news with her friend, “I found my uncle.”
Uncle?
Wasn’t Zhou Xufang an orphan?
Fang Lixiang was surprised, “Your real uncle? Who is he?”
Zhou Xufang pronounced his name clearly, a hint of pride in her voice, “His name is Zhou Qingrang.”
My goodness, big news!

“The Zhou Qingrang from the national news broadcast?”
Zhou Xufang nodded, “Mhm.”
Fang Lixiang could tell Zhou Xufang was very happy and she was genuinely happy for her, she always thought Zhou Xufang was so alone with no loving relatives, now she finally had family on her maternal side.
“That’s wonderful! Should we celebrate? I know a great hot pot restaurant.”
Zhou Xufang replied, “You are pregnant now, you can’t eat too much hot pot.”
