Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant looked at Hong Jinyun with a hint of a smile. Seeing how pitiful she looked, he understood that Hong Jinyun still hadn’t given up on Lu Jinnan.
However, he didn’t want to let Hong Jinyun know that he felt compassion for her. He had paid Hong Jinyun’s hospitalization fees out of kindness, and he was afraid that she would pester him.
He only smiled and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Hong. I can’t let you see President Lu. Moreover, President Lu didn’t pay for your hospital fees. You’re really thinking too much…”
“Why would I?” Hong Jinyun looked at Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant weakly. “In Haicheng… the only one who can have any say over me is Jinnan!”
After saying that, Hong Jinyun lowered her head with reddened eyes. After a long while, she looked at Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant as if she had understood something. “I got it. Jinnan must have denied it because he didn’t want me to know, right? Is he… afraid Bai Xiaonian would be angry if she found out?”
Seeing how Hong Jinyun felt good about herself, Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant suddenly regretted helping her out of compassion.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be sending food to President Lu and Mrs. Lu first!” Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant smiled and turned to leave.
Hong Jinyun grabbed Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant’s wrist and pleaded, “I don’t want Bai Xiaonian to misunderstand Jinnan either, so… can you help me tell Jinnan that unless Bai Xiaonian leaves, it’ll be inconvenient for him to meet me?”
The assistant was unmoved. Hong Jinyun started to act pitiful. “How long do I have left to live? In this world, Jinnan is the only one who truly cares about me. Before I die… I want to meet him!”
“Miss Hong must have misunderstood something…” Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant pushed Hong Jinyun’s hand away. “Our President Lu only has our Mrs. Lu in his heart. Other than Mrs. Lu, he doesn’t care about anyone else!”
“If he doesn’t care about me, then why would he help me pay the hospital fees after he found out I was hospitalized?”
“Miss Hong, your hospital fees really weren’t paid by President Lu!” Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant continued to smile as he spoke.
“But other than him, who else would pay for it?” Hong Jinyun grabbed her assistant’s arm again and said anxiously.
“I’ve only heard of people rejecting the seeking of revenge, but no one has ever heard of someone rejecting a payment of gratitude. Miss Hong… it really wasn’t President Lu that paid for the fees. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the guts to answer on his behalf.” Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant smiled helplessly and pushed Hong Jinyun’s hand away again.
“Perhaps, Jinnan didn’t even tell you about it. He couldn’t possibly ignore me!” Hong Jinyun said subconsciously in a hurry.
Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant’s eyes narrowed slightly. He smiled and said, “Miss Hong, you probably think too highly of your position in our President Lu’s heart. Or perhaps Miss Hong is merely trying to make use of this favor to get close to President Lu on purpose? Is Miss Hong acting pitifully to call up President Lu’s old feelings, in the hope that President Lu would be willing to sponsor you until you die? Or… does Miss Hong want to raise some other conditions and requests?”
Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant regretted so much that he had paid for Hong Jinyun’s hospital fees. Perhaps he had felt pity for Hong Jinyun and decided to help her because just like Hong Jinyun’s mother had abandoned her, his mother had also left him when he was young.
However, since it was his own fault, he couldn’t implicate his boss.
Hong Jinyun, who was being treated suspiciously by Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant, shook her head vigorously. “No! I’ve never thought of doing that…”
“Then, please completely disappear from President Lu’s life!” Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant appeared to be smiling, but Hong Jinyun felt a piercing chill. “Otherwise… I’ll help you disappear, okay?”
Hong Jinyun’s heart trembled violently.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go deliver this food for President Lu and Madam first. Miss Hong, take care.” Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant turned around and left.
Hong Jinyun had also been very close to death in the past. She could see the murderous intent in the assistant’s cold eyes.
She couldn’t help but guess Lu Jinnan’s personal assistant’s identity. Such a person… had such a casual killing intent. It was clear that he wasn’t a normal person.
At that moment, Hong Jinyun’s heart was beating especially fast. She clenched her fists tightly and eventually left quickly…
While Hong Jinyun was panicking, Cai Jingyao, who had been locked up in the doghouse and hadn’t been able to get Mr. Dan to look for her, panicked. When the group of people brought her out of the cage, Cai Jingyao heard the dog’s fierce barking and thought that she was going to die here. She cried hysterically and begged for mercy.
But who knew that when she was dragged out of the doghouse, she actually saw Mr. Dan standing outside with both hands in his pockets…
Cai Jingyao heaved a sigh of relief and broke down into tears. Dan Xiuci bit her cigarette and looked at Cai Jingyao, frowning.
“Sir, please don’t make things difficult for us. We were instructed by Madam to send this person to this place in Southeast Asia!” The man who stood in front of Dan Xiuci said.
Cai Jingyao was tortured to the point of breaking down. She cried out, “Xiuci… Xiuci, save me!”
Dan Xiuci took a deep puff of his cigarette and put out the cigarette with the tip of his finger. He calmly said with a hoarse voice, “Am I making things difficult for you today?”
The man standing in front of him frowned and said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll first make a call.”
The moment Cai Jingyao heard about them being instructed to send her to a “place” in Southeast Asia, she already understood… Cai Jingyao knew what they were talking about. The only thing she could do now was to go straight to the point.
However, Dan Xiuci’s gaze towards her was no longer as warm and gentle as before. At this moment, his gaze was cold and probing, which made Cai Jingyao terrified.
But now, Cai Jingyao couldn’t care less. She just had to get him to take her out of this group of people with a simple excuse.
Cai Jingyao looked straight into Dan Xiuci’s eyes, not daring to shift her gaze away, fearing that Dan Xiuci would ignore her.
Very quickly, the man who went to make the call returned and respectfully handed the phone to Dan Xiuci. “Sir… Madam’s on the phone.”
Dan Xiuci looked down at the phone, picked up the call, and walked towards a secluded corner. “Hello…”
On the other end of the line, Zheng Qiuhan’s voice carried a hint of nonchalance. “You clearly know that this woman has ulterior motives towards you, but you still want to take her away?”
“That’s right…” Dan Xiuci admitted straightforwardly. “Since you hate me touching you so much, you can’t possibly let me be a widower for the rest of my life. I have plenty of women I can pleasure myself with, or… do you want me to use a man?”
Zheng Qiuhan gripped the sofa’s armrest tightly, her heart aching.
“Don’t worry, I’ll hide her well. In this lifetime… she can forget about seeing the sun…”
