Chapter 101
Chapter 101
The Zhao family left with their tails between their legs, having gained no advantage at all.
The two reporters not only failed to capture any explosive news, but all the photos in their cameras were deleted. They blocked Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, demanding payment.
"You didn't get anything, and you still have the nerve to ask me for money?" Zhao's father was unwilling to pay. Not only did he not get any money, but he was also driven away, which left him feeling extremely unlucky.
"Are you trying to welsh on the deal?" The reporters were also very unhappy. They had originally thought they could get some exclusive scoop, but instead, they offended the Lu family and gained nothing.
Zhao's father had promised to give each of them a thousand yuan, but that was because he thought he would get money from the Lu family. "Since the job wasn't done well, I won't be paying."
The reporters picked up their cameras and started taking photos of Zhao's father and Zhao's mother. "Can't expose any explosive news about the Lu family, but your ugly faces trying to extort the Lu family should be entertaining for many people to see."
"Stop, don't take photos!" Zhao's father rushed forward to grab the camera.
"They're hitting people, help! Someone is beating people in the street!" Zhao's mother's loud voice attracted the attention of many passersby.
Zhao Youyou stood rooted to the spot, feeling so ashamed that she wanted to hide somewhere. "Dad, stop fighting, just give them the money..."
Since her rebirth, everything had been going smoothly for her. Not only had she gotten together with Fu Baili, the object of her admiration in her previous life, but she had also won the lottery and been admitted to her dream university, where she became the class flower and department flower, and was the goddess in everyone's eyes, with many friends who liked her.
But she doesn't know when her situation changed.
Fu Baili had left the Fu family and was no longer the illustrious descendant of the Fu family, reduced to being an extra. The money she won from the lottery was all lost by her father in stock trading. At school, the title of school belle was taken away by Su Ci, and now she was making a fool of herself in the street.
Faced with the passing attention on the street, with pedestrians pointing and whispering, Zhao Youyou bit her lip, her face pale, nearly fainting from embarrassment.
At this moment in the break room.
The pure white sheets were damp and wrinkled beyond recognition. Despite it being the cold winter, Su Ci was drenched in sweat, with her short hair sticking to her cheeks.
The snow-white little face was glowing with a rosy hue, and a pair of black eyes sparkled with moisture. The small tear mole at the end of her eyes seemed to add a touch of allure, making her irresistibly captivating.
With no strength in my hands, I hung feebly on Lu Zhe's back, fiercely bumping against him, my small hands slipping off several times.
Unable to bear it any longer, Su Ci took a small bite on Lu Zhe's shoulder, like a little bunny feeling wronged, and let out a low hum.
The clumsy little rabbit tied to her slender ankle bounces up and down as the girl sways her foot.
Su Ci felt that she might faint at any moment.
Unlike the girl's discomfort, Lu Zhe above had pitch-black eyes, his veins standing out on his forehead. The muscles in his arms braced against both sides, taut with power. He felt an indescribable thrill coursing through his entire body, every cell trembling violently.
Suci is really delicate; after such a long time under pressure, she is utterly exhausted.
Feeling the girl starting to resist, Lu Zhe easily held her hand and placed it on top of her head, "Good girl, Tuan Tuan."
Every time she moves around restlessly, he wishes he could crush her to pieces, longing to merge with her completely.
Su Ci struggled, only to receive a greater force in return. Even more so, her head was bumped against the bed board. It didn’t hurt, but it was extremely uncomfortable.
Wuwu, return to her gentle and aloof youth!
At this moment, the door outside the office was opened.
Lu Chen walked in with his assistant, intending to talk to his son about the Zhao family's affairs. He looked around but did not find his son in the office.
Lu Chen raised his pair of peach blossom eyes and said, "Didn't they say that Lu Zhe is in the office?"
The assistant quickly responded, "Yes, Mr. Lu."
Hearing the noise from the office outside, Su Ci was stunned. She looked at Lu Zhe in disbelief; they hadn't locked the door!
The veins on Lu Zhe's forehead were prominently displayed as he lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, coaxing beside the girl's ear, "Tuan Tuan, relax." He was nearly out of control.
Suci looked at him in panic, her small face turning red. She whispered, "What should we do? The door here isn't locked." She couldn't bear the thought of being caught by her father in this situation, no matter how thick-skinned she was.
“Don’t be afraid.” Lu Zhe let out a low groan and got up. He directly rolled the bedsheet around the girl and carefully stuffed her into the wardrobe.
Lu Zhe rarely takes breaks in the office, so he doesn't keep many personal items in the break room. Even his clothes are few, and his wardrobe is quite empty.
He wanted to close the wardrobe door, but the girl held his hand.
Lu Zhe was taken aback for a moment; he took a deep breath and also concealed himself.
The wardrobe door had just been closed when the door to the lounge was opened by someone.
The room is empty, and the blanket on the bed has fallen to the floor.
Lu Chen walked in.
In the wardrobe, Su Ci's heart leapt wildly, like a frightened little rabbit, beating uneasily. Although they were adults and knew the truth, being openly exposed for doing something improper was still inherently embarrassing.
The space in the wardrobe is not large, just enough to accommodate two people. Su Ci's body is leaning against Lu Zhe, and his warm breath falls on her face.
Su Ci's dark eyes stared blankly at Lu Zhe. Taking advantage of the light that streamed in through the gap in the wardrobe, she noticed the boy's disheveled appearance; he hadn't even caught his breath yet, let alone regain his confidence, pressing against her body in discomfort.
Outside, a glint flashed in Lu Chen's peach blossom eyes as he walked towards the wardrobe, then stopped in front of it.
At this moment, Su Ci's heart tightened again.
Lu Zhe pressed his thin lips tightly together, reaching out to pull the bed sheet on the girl to cover her properly.
Lu Chen had a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth. His hand reached for the wardrobe door and paused for ten seconds. Then, he let out a low chuckle before turning around and leaving.
He walked out with his hands in his pockets and casually closed the door behind him.
The assistant was waiting at the outer door: "Mr. Lu, is Young Master Lu resting?" He did not hear the sound of Mr. Lu and the others talking.
Lu Chen Tao Hua smiled and said, "He? He isn't here."
The assistant was puzzled for a moment.
Lu Chen has already walked out quickly.
In the wardrobe, Su Ci pressed her lips together and bit down on the arm of Lu Zhe beside her. Her father must have found out something.
The girl didn't use any strength at all; a slight sting came to her. Lu Zhe gently brushed her hair and asked, "Should I carry you out?"
Suzhi loosened her lips, looking at Lu Zhe with a pitiful expression, "It's salty; I can taste your sweat."
Just now, Lu Zhe was sweating a lot. Hearing the girl's disdainful words, he let out a low laugh and leaned in with his thin lips, "Let me have a taste." His tongue brushed against the girl's, intertwined with hers.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Ci was dressed in clothes and a scarf by Lu Zhe, who then carried her out of the lounge. The office door had already been locked, causing Su Ci to blush again.
Lu Zhe sat down on the office chair, allowing the girl to sit on his lap. "Are you hungry?"
The sky outside has darkened. He helped the girl tuck her messy hair behind her ears and said, "I'll take you out to eat."
The director felt unlucky. They hadn't shot many scenes yet, and an actor had already been injured.
Fu Baili rushed forward, seeing Yao Chengqi with blood on his head. He frowned tightly. "Someone needs to tend to his wounds and take him to the hospital immediately."
The staff then asked if anyone could handle wounds, but everyone shook their heads.
"You must take him to the hospital right away," Fu Baili said, not moving Yao Chengqi's body. After such a high fall, he didn't know where else might be injured.
The director finally spoke. "Which few can take a break and take the stand-in to the hospital."
Everyone looked at each other.
Fu Baili's face was cold. Since being disowned by the Fu family and declared not the heir, not only had his former friends distanced themselves, but the Zhao family had also changed their attitude. Now, he deeply felt the harshness of being at the bottom.
The male and female leads sat comfortably in recliners, surrounded by people eager to serve them, while those around them showed indifference and even amusement toward the injured extra.
Fu Baili once again felt that without the Fu family, he was nothing, unable to even help someone in need.
The once proud son of heaven had been ground down, his sharpness dulled. His shoulders sagged, and his eyes were filled with gloom.
He thought of the warm soy milk Yao Chengqi had given him earlier, the bread he had shared, and the man's bright smile as he talked about saving money to marry his girlfriend.
Fu Baili lifted Yao Chengqi and prepared to carry him to the hospital.
At that moment, a black car suddenly appeared, its screeching brakes drawing everyone's attention.
A beautiful girl got out of the car.
While everyone was stunned by her beauty, another car pulled up, and the car door opened, medical personnel in doctor and nurse uniforms stepped out.
Su Ci immediately spotted the person lying not far away. She frowned and told the medical staff, "Save him!"
The medical personnel quickly ran over with their supplies.
Fu Baili was stunned. He looked up and saw the swift actions of the rescue team approaching. He also saw the beautiful girl walking toward him.
Without the sun today, Fu Baili looked into Su Ci's eyes as if dazzled by her radiance, and he hastily averted his gaze.
Su Ci approached, not paying attention to Fu Baili, but watching the medical staff stop Yao ChengQi's bleeding.
Her gaze fell on Yao ChengQi's wrist, where faint red lines were barely visible, with only two minutes remaining.
The medical staff quickly stopped Yao ChengQi's bleeding.
People around were murmuring, and even the lead actors, who were comfortably lounging on the set chairs, turned their attention to Su Ci.
The director, the first to react, received a phone call informing him that the investor's sister, the young lady Su, would be arriving, and he was aware that the crew's driver had gone to pick her up.
The director hurried forward, his attitude respectful: "Miss Su, you're here."
Su Ci's voice was cold, "Why wasn't the injured actor immediately sent to the hospital for treatment?" There was a lot of blood on the ground, clearly indicating that Yao ChengQi had fallen from the wire for some time without receiving any first aid.
"This..." The director stammered, "I was just about to send someone, but then Miss Su arrived with a medical team."
Su Ci suddenly recalled her previous life, where she had died of a heart attack on set, surrounded by cold, indifferent onlookers discussing the incident.
She had no interest in listening to the director's excuses.
Fu Baili stepped aside to make room for the medical staff, standing by as he watched the director treat Su Ci with a mixture of respect and caution, much like the friends who used to surround him.
The same faces.
His gaze unintentionally fell on the girl's snowy white profile, and he couldn't help but take a second look, not expecting that this lofty princess of the Su family would appear like an angel.
Compared to others who were indifferent and apathetic, she questioned why no one had helped Yao Chengqi.
Fu Baili suddenly felt that this haughty young lady of the Su family wasn't as annoying as before.
Su Ci watched as Yao ChengQi's life gauge turned yellow with six segments, and she relaxed.
She turned her head and met Fu Baili's gaze, "What are you looking at me for? Are you suddenly finding me radiant with holy light?"
Fu Baili: ......
Su Ci then gave him a once-over. Fu Baili's face was smeared with dirt, and he was dressed in costume for filming, playing a dying extra, so he was already quite disheveled.
Su Ci said, "Now that I look at you, you seem more like a human."
Fu Baili's face darkened. Did she mean that he wasn't human before?
Su Ci didn't care whether Fu Baili was angry or not. Yao ChengQi was back, and she had already obtained the golden cotton candy. Watching the medical staff carry Yao ChengQi into the car, she turned and left.
Fu Baili followed, intending to accompany Yao ChengQi to the hospital.
As he got closer, he glimpsed through the rear window of the car that a man was sitting in the front.
Su Ci got into the car, leaning toward the man, their actions intimate.
Seeing the man kiss the girl, Fu Baili lowered his eyes and got into the following car.
Inside the car, Lu Zhe kept a close eye on the situation outside through the tinted windows until the girl got in, then he withdrew his gaze.
"That person was saved," Su Ci said, not letting Lu Zhe get out because there were too many cameras on set. Lu Zhe had announced his identity as the heir of the Lu family at his birthday party, and many people present recognized him. Su Ci didn't want the rescue to be high-profile and end up trending on social media.
She leaned closer to him, whispering, "Hurry and kiss me before the driver gets in."
Lu Zhe chuckled lightly.
His cold fingers tipped her chin, and Lu Zhe kissed her.
Su Ci passed the golden cotton candy, and her little tongue darted in, touching Lu Zhe's, deliberately teasing him a few times. Just as Lu Zhe was about to deepen the kiss, she quickly pulled back.
Su Ci ignored Lu Zhe's deep eyes, blinking innocently, "No more kissing, the driver is coming."
Lu Zhe glanced out the window; the driver was indeed hurrying over.
Lu Zhe curled his lips.
His hand that had been holding her chin moved to cup the back of her head, pressing her closer to him. His thin lips parted slightly, gently biting her lip, and in her gasp, he hooked her tongue and sucked fiercely a few times before letting her go.
The driver opened the door, apologizing, "Sorry, I was in the restroom."
Lu Zhe sat upright, his expression calm and handsome, "It's fine, drive."
Su Ci pursed her slightly sore lips, glancing at the boy beside her.
She felt that the once abstinent and indifferent Lu Zhe had become shamelessly brazen.
