The ward was in chaos. After a few rounds of resuscitation, Lu Zhen opened her eyes.

When the doctor saw that Lu Zhen had woken up, he quickly asked, “Miss Lu, how do you feel now?”

Lu Zhen shook her head at the doctor. “I’m fine. I was just angry.”

As she spoke, Lu Zhen’s tears also flowed down. She glanced around and saw that the door had already closed. The paparazzi who had secretly taken photos was no longer around.

Her gaze finally landed on Sun Xiao and she said softly, “Should I not have said anything? I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”

Her eyelashes were lowered, casting a shadow under her eyes. Lu Zhen looked extremely fragile, and sorrow filled the entire ward.

However, before Sun Xiao could speak, a nurse said loudly, “Zhenzhen, you did the right thing. Why should you help her hide her evil deeds? I saw it just now. When she hit the wall, she deliberately restrained her strength. Pfft! Shameless! She cried, threw a tantrum, and tried to threaten suicide. Did she watch too many television dramas?”

After hearing the nurse’s words, the others also chuckled. Even the usually serious doctor had amusement in his eyes.

“Miss Lu, rest well. If possible, I suggest you undergo systematic desensitization therapy in the psychological department.”

Lu Zhen knew that the doctor was talking about her fear of water and nodded.

After the doctors and nurses left, Sun Xiao held Lu Zhen’s hand with reddened eyes.

“Sister Zhenzhen, cut ties with that family! That family isn’t good.”

Lu Zhen sat up and sighed softly. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of Sun Xiao’s eyes.

“I know they’re not good people, but they still raised me. Unless there’s an opportunity for me to leave the Lu family, if I say it, no matter what reason I have, it’ll be used as an excuse to attack me and ruin my reputation.”

“Can’t you leave this time?” Sun Xiao asked in confusion.

Lu Zhen shook her head. “There’s no evidence. I think there will probably be two opposing opinions online about this matter. One side will defend me unconditionally, while the others who see Lu Rou banging her head against the wall will think that I’m making a mountain out of a molehill.”

Actually, if not for the fact that she was in the entertainment industry, Lu Zhen wouldn’t waste time with Wu Yu and Lu Rou. However, in this industry, if she didn’t say it, she would be slandered. Therefore, she had to say something.

Sun Xiao said angrily, “Hmph! They don’t know anything, but think that you’re making a mountain out of a molehill. They don’t know your hardships.”

Lu Zhen rubbed Sun Xiao’s head and gave her a hug. “Thank you, Sun Xiao.”

Lu Zhen was really grateful not only for this matter, but also for seeing Sun Xiao again. Only then did Lu Zhen realize that she owed a lot of people.

Sun Xiao’s face turned red from Lu Zhen’s hug. When Lu Zhen let go, she quickly said, “Sister Zhenzhen, I’ll go tell Sister Li about your situation. Rest first. I’ll settle the matter and bring you your favorite dishes from the restaurant tonight.”

“Okay.”

Lu Zhen nodded with a smile and watched Sun Xiao leave.

Sun Xiao’s face was still red even after she closed the door. Why did she feel that Zhenzhen was so gentle today? Previously, she was always cold and indifferent. Although she liked the aloof Sister Zhen, she wasn’t as mesmerizing as the gentle Sister Zhen!

Patting her flushed face, Sun Xiao took a deep breath. She was shocked by Sister Zhen’s beauty. It was like a fairy who descended to the mortal world kissed your face and held your hand while saying that they should be friends! This feeling could make her feel smug for the entire day.

Lu Zhen really didn’t expect her that her actions would shock Sun Xiao so much. She recalled everything she had done at the Lu family’s house.

She was adopted by the Lu family at the orphanage when she was five years old. Wu Yu took a fancy to her appearance and brought her home to nurture her.

Many people online said that she was lucky to have been discovered by a talent scout when she was seven years old and had a smooth journey. But was that really the case?

There was a saying that all coincidences were carefully contrived.

During the two years of training, she would go hungry if she didn’t do well. Her every move and even her smile were calculated. How could she not be discovered by the scouts?

Her adoptive father frantically accepted notices for her. He didn’t care that she was still a child and didn’t care about her health. When she was sick, she would take a lot of medicine, so much so that she didn’t even dare to be sick because she felt that they didn’t care about her life.

At such a young age, she had already learned how to observe people’s expressions. Her voice, figure, and expression were trained. She also took time to learn during the break in the show. The Lu family said that if she was illiterate, she would embarrass the Lu family.
