Chapter 519: Chapter 519
The car accident inflicted serious injuries on him; to this day, he still can’t walk around without difficulty. During this time, except for when he needs Assistant Xue’s help to go to the restroom, he spends the rest of the time lying directly on the hospital bed. The company affairs have also been temporarily handed over to Xi Mohan to manage, with Assistant Xue assisting him as well.
The impact of that car accident is imaginable. After all, she saw the information on the headlines that day, and she really didn’t know how those paparazzi could be so imaginative.
Protecting Li Man was actually just an impulsive instinct. The main cause of the accident was himself, and naturally, he couldn’t let a woman be harmed because of him; otherwise, he would feel guilty inside, and he didn’t want to owe anyone, especially a woman.
Sitting up in the hospital bed, Lu Jingchen’s complexion looked extremely unwell, even sullen, as his whole body radiated an aura of anger.
Song Qiao said she wouldn’t come to the hospital and didn’t, already fueling his anger, which spread throughout his body. Particularly when he thought of Chu Munan still being with Song Qiao, that jealous mindset surged forward directly into his brain.
The door to the ward was knocked; the man’s grim face didn’t soften as he said faintly, "Come in."
Li Man, dressed in a simple and elegant skirt, pushed the door open and immediately saw Lu Jingchen half-leaning against the bed headboard. Her heartbeat quickened as she laid eyes on the man’s extraordinarily handsome face.
No matter how unkempt the man looked right after surgery, no matter how pale his face was, he still looked striking, making her heart flutter. And now that Lu Jingchen was starting to recover slowly, with his complexion already looking much better, she was even more captivated.
Li Man, carrying two thermos containers, walked straight into the ward; her face bore that nearly perfect tender smile as she softly said, "President Lu, I... I’ve come to bring you lunch... This... this is what I made for you early this morning."
The woman had a smile on her face, but she still appeared a bit shy and a little stiff, clearly uncomfortable with Lu Jingchen’s coldness. She walked straight to the table beside the bed and set down the thermos containers.
Just as she placed the thermos containers down, the ward was knocked on again. Before Lu Jingchen could speak, the door was pushed open and Zuo Yuqing’s stunning face immediately appeared in their view.
Upon seeing Zuo Yuqing, Li Man’s complexion became noticeably worse. Song Qiao was her biggest love rival, and after barely hearing that Lu Jingchen had broken up with Song Qiao, and not seeing that woman for a few days, she had almost forgotten about her second biggest love rival, Zuo Yuqing, being here.
How could Li Man not know that Zuo Yuqing was Lu Jingchen’s first love? Fınd the newest release on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
When she first met Murong Rui and saw Lu Jingchen, it was when he was accompanying Zuo Yuqing to visit Murong Rui. Regarding Zuo Yuqing, at first, she felt envious.
Envious that she was Lu Jingchen’s girlfriend, envious of her jealousy-inducing appearance, envious of the innate noble quality about her, and even more envious... that she might become the heir to Zuo Group in the future.
Zuo Yuqing’s great uncle and aunt had no children but Zuo Yuqing herself; years ago, people had said that Zuo Yuqing would definitely take over Zuo Group, and her value was almost incalculable.
When the news of Lu Jingchen’s breakup with Zuo Yuqing reached their ears, she almost couldn’t believe it, but afterward, there was nothing but excitement and joy, proving that she still had a chance.
Back then, she had seen Zuo Yuqing abroad and heard from those who knew her that Zuo Yuqing had a severe argument with her great uncle and aunt, then stormed off to go overseas.
In the beginning, Zuo Yuqing was in a sorry state, even renting a house. At that time, she had mocked Zuo Yuqing, but she didn’t expect that later on, Zuo Yuqing would become a hit in Hollywood, turning into a newly crowned National Goddess, with many friends, especially men, who liked her.
It would be more accurate to say that her antagonism towards Song Qiao was nothing compared to the animosity she felt towards Zuo Yuqing.
