Chapter 32 I really just wanted to be a scumbag, why are you all crying?
Lu Family Manor, Private Clinic.
The air was filled with the scent of high-grade disinfectant and a faint smell of blood.
Lu Shixuan sat shirtless on the operating chair.
His strong muscles were well-defined and firm, but the long knife wound on his left arm looked particularly gruesome.
His second sister, Lu Zhirou, wearing sterile gloves, was carefully stitching up his wound.
Her hands were very steady; they were hands accustomed to holding a scalpel.
But at this moment, her fingertips were trembling slightly.
Every needle prick felt like it was piercing her own heart.
"hiss--"
Lu Shixuan deliberately gasped. Although the system blocked the sense of pain, he still had to act.
"Second sister, be gentle! Are you embroidering or sewing?"
"It hurts like hell! You call yourself a miracle doctor with this kind of skill?"
"I think you're just trying to settle a personal score and get revenge for me not giving you face at the bar yesterday!"
He kept shouting as he reached for the cherries in the plate next to him with his uninjured right hand.
quick!
They think I'm being spoiled!
They think I'm being unreasonable!
You're wailing and howling over such a small injury; you have no manly spirit at all!
The older sister was watching from the side; she hates spineless people the most!
Lu Qingwan was indeed standing to the side.
She was wearing dark black loungewear, her arms crossed, her eyes fixed on the wound.
Hearing Lu Shixuan's thoughts, a hint of helpless doting flashed in her eyes.
This silly child.
The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and they refused to give the patient anesthesia, saying they were afraid it would affect the speed of nerve response.
Now you're pretending to be in pain, just to keep us from worrying?
"Ah Xuan".
Lu Qingwan suddenly spoke, her voice a little hoarse.
"I've already had someone take over the project in the western suburbs."
"You should stay home and rest during this time, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shixuan's eyes lit up instantly.
They've taken it over?
Very good!
That bottomless pit has finally been shaken out!
And they're going to be confined to their homes?
Isn't this just a disguised form of house arrest?
It seems my older sister has finally realized I'm a troublemaker!
Lu Shixuan immediately put on an unwilling look and slammed his hand on the armrest.
"On what grounds?"
"That's the land I conquered! That's the territory I bought with my own money!"
"What right do you have to take it back? Are you trying to sideline me?"
"Lu Qingwan, let me tell you, I'm not having it! I'm going to cause a scene at the company! I'm going to pull out all those old men's dentures from the board of directors!"
Lu Qingwan stepped forward and gently pressed down on his trembling shoulders.
"Okay, once you're healed, we'll go get your dentures removed."
"Now, sit still."
Lu Shixuan: "..."
No... Sister, what's with that tone you're using to coax a child?
I said I was threatening you by saying I'd pull out my dentures!
Why did you agree?
Just then, the door to the examination room was pushed open.
Chu Yaoyao walked in carrying a bowl of steaming hot medicinal porridge.
She had changed out of her ill-fitting school uniform and put on a simple white T-shirt and jeans, looking fresh and clean.
But her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, clearly she had just been crying.
"Young Master Lu, have some porridge."
Chu Yaoyao walked up to him, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it gently, and brought it to his lips.
Lu Shixuan looked at the spoonful of porridge, then at Chu Yaoyao's pitiful little face.
A wave of irritation washed over me.
Why is this woman still here?
I was so fierce, why didn't she run away?
And this porridge... why does it smell burnt?
It must have been her first time cooking, and she burned the bottom of the pot.
If I were to drink this kind of bizarre food, wouldn't it make me seem like I have no taste?
Lu Shixuan suddenly waved his hand, knocking the spoon over.
The scalding hot porridge spilled onto Chu Yaoyao's hand, instantly turning it red.
"Take it away! It tastes awful!"
"I only drink bird's nest and shark fin soup! This kind of cheap stuff should be used to feed pigs!"
"And you, Chu Yaoyao! Don't think you can get away with this just because you've been hanging around with me for a couple of days!"
"I'm tired of you! I hate the sight of you now! Go back to your slums!"
Chu Yaoyao neither dodged nor cried out in pain.
She simply watched Lu Shixuan quietly, letting the scalding porridge drip from her fingertips.
There was no anger in her eyes, only a heartbreaking obsession.
"Young Master Lu, the porridge is a little burnt."
"Because I just heard the housekeeper say in the kitchen that this porridge contains herbs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so the heat must be high."
"I know you're disgusted, but I still want you to have a sip."
Even just one bite would be fine.
Lu Shixuan was stunned.
Damn! This girl...
Your hands got burned like this while you were making medicine for me?
And she actually knew I didn't like drinking Chinese medicine, so she specially cooked it into porridge?
Damn it, why did I have to be so clumsy?
That hit was too hard; she has blisters on the back of her hand!
system!
Quickly exchange a bottle of 'God-Level Burn Ointment' for me!
No, I can't show it!
I'm a scumbag!
I'm a bully!
Lu Shixuan gritted his teeth and forcefully suppressed the heartache in his eyes.
He pulled a bank card out of his pocket and threw it directly at Chu Yaoyao's face.
"One million!"
"Take the money, go get your hand treated! Then get out!"
"Consider this a breakup fee! Oh wait, we were never even together, consider it severance pay!"
"Don't let me see you again!"
Chu Yaoyao caught the card and suddenly smiled.
His smile looked worse than his tears.
She put the card on the table, then picked up the bowl of porridge that was still more than half full, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
"good."
"I'm leaving."
"But Young Master Lu, this porridge really isn't bad."
"And... thank you."
After saying that, she turned and ran, her back view resolute and desolate.
As Lu Shixuan watched her departing figure, he felt as if a piece of his heart had been hollowed out.
They've left?
Is he really gone?
Very good!
Finally, we got rid of this troublemaker!
But... why does it hurt so much here?
Did I overact?
Her hand... if it's not treated in time, it will leave a scar, right?
Lu Zhirou, who had been silent all along, suddenly sighed.
She put down the sutures she was working on, took a bottle of green ointment from the medicine box, and handed it to Lu Shixuan.
"Go."
"Second sister, where are you going? My injuries haven't healed yet..."
Go after her.
Lu Zhirou pushed up her glasses, her eyes gentle.
"Ah Xuan, sometimes it's not shameful to be a good person."
"Moreover, the herb that girl added to the porridge just now is Coptis chinensis, which you hate the most."
"She was afraid you wouldn't be able to drink it, so she took a big gulp first to show you it wasn't that bitter."
"If you really drive away a silly girl like that, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Lu Shixuan held the bottle of ointment, frozen in place.
Coptis chinensis?
The most bitter Coptis chinensis?
Did she drink it herself?
Oh shit!
Chu Yaoyao, you big idiot!
Who gave you the right to act on your own?!
Who made you suffer for me!
Lu Shixuan jumped off the operating chair abruptly, not even bothering to put on his shirt, grabbed his car keys and rushed out.
"Chu Yaoyao! You stop right there!"
"Who told you to drink my porridge? That's mine!"
"You owe me! If you can't afford it, you'll have to pay off your debt with yourself!"
Watching his retreating figure as he ran away.
Lu Qingwan and Lu Zhirou exchanged a smile.
"It seems the Lu family will soon be celebrating a happy occasion."
...
Outside the manor, on the pitch-black highway.
Chu Yaoyao wandered aimlessly, tears streaming down her face.
The burn on the back of my hand stung terribly, but the pain in my heart was even worse.
Just then, the familiar roar of an engine came from behind.
A red Ferrari sped up in front of her like lightning, then braked suddenly and blocked the road.
The car door opened, and Lu Shixuan, shirtless with bandages wrapped around his chest, rushed out, panting heavily.
He grabbed Chu Yaoyao's wrist roughly, but carefully avoided the scalded blister.
Why are you running?
"You think you can just leave when I tell you to? When did you become so obedient?"
As he yelled, he opened the bottle of green ointment and clumsily applied it to the back of her hand.
The cool sensation instantly suppressed the burning pain.
Chu Yaoyao stared at him blankly.
"Young Master Lu...you..."
"Shut up!"
Lu Shixuan glared at her fiercely.
"This ointment is about to expire! I gave it to you because I didn't want it to go to waste!"
"Also, that one million isn't enough!"
"My appearance fee has gone up! If you want to settle things completely, you'll have to pay me for the rest of your life!"
Chu Yaoyao looked at his eyes, which shone brilliantly in the moonlight.
Suddenly, he stopped crying and started laughing.
She reached out her uninjured hand and gently hugged his waist.
"good."
"Then I'll pay for it for the rest of my life."
"But Mr. Lu, could you please not use expired ointment next time?"
"...Shut up! That's a miracle drug! Don't you understand what a miracle drug is?"
bite!

Lu Shixuan held the soft girl in his arms, listening to the system's complaints, and couldn't help but smile.
"Marriage? Dream on!"
"This young master is going to continue being a bully!"
This time, however, his voice no longer held that resolute desire to escape.
