Chapter 222 Coincidences Make History

Lu Yuanhuan regained consciousness, opened her eyes, and found herself lying on a hospital bed.

There was no sense of relief, nor any feeling of joy.

She just stared blankly at the ceiling of the hospital ward with her eyes open.

Lu Mingdong was the first person to see her wake up.

But seeing her like this, Lu Mingdong frowned deeply.

"Auntie!"

Lu Yuanhuan on the bed seemed not to hear, or perhaps she did hear but felt so tired that she didn't want to speak at all.

Why is life so tiring?

Lu Mingdong sighed and stopped bothering her, obediently sitting aside and staring at the IV drip bottle.

Only his third uncle could do something like being a confidante.

Their efforts were in vain.

Let's wait until Lu Yuanqing and the others return before discussing anything else!

After Lu Mingdong understood, he stopped saying anything.

As for whether they're hungry or not, it seems they're too lazy to even talk, let alone eat.

"Where are Third Brother and the others?!"

Lu Yuanhuan, lying on the bed, took the initiative to ask, his voice hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for many days.

Seeing that she had spoken up, Lu Mingdong quickly sat up, poured her a glass of water, and said, "My third and fourth uncles have gone out and asked me to watch over you here!"

Lu Yuanhuan lay on the bed, silently watching him for a while before he finally opened his glass and held it up, waiting for her water glass. She didn't want to move; she was tired.

But thinking about how she had spoken just now, she quietly and slowly sat up.

Lu Mingdong helped her lean back and handed her a water glass so she could drink some water.

They were terrified at the time.

Anyone who sees it for the first time, before they even have a chance to say anything, will suddenly faint laughing, looking like they're smiling in the afterlife. It's terrifying!

They rushed him to the hospital, but thankfully it was just a cold and the fever wasn't too high; he only needed a few IV drips.

Only then did Lu Mingdong and the other two breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Yuanhuan slowly drank a few sips of water, and her throat felt much better. She put down the water glass and looked at Lu Mingdong, "Did Third Brother and the others say when they'll be back?"

Lu Mingdong was peeling an apple. Hearing this, he didn't even look up and said, "I've been out for quite a while. It depends on how things are going. If things go quickly, I'll probably be back soon. If they go slowly, I might have to wait a while longer!"

Normally, we just wash apples and eat them directly at home, but now that we're treating a patient, everything has to be done more carefully.

Lu Yuanhuan was about to ask about the progress, but then she thought about it again and realized that it could be something else entirely.

Lu Yuanhuan pursed her lips, swallowed back what she wanted to say, and instead asked about other things, "Why did you come to the city so early? The time wasn't set for these few days, there are still ten days left!"

"The village just finished the autumn harvest, right? Isn't Third Brother busy with distributing the grain?"

What she really wanted to say was that Lu Yuanqing was getting busier as the year drew to a close.

It's just a small matter like a wedding. It's okay if I can't come; Lu Yuanbo can make the trip.

Lu Mingdong peeled the apple, made a quick cut with his knife, inserted a piece of apple into the knife tip, and placed it near Lu Yuanhuan's mouth.

Lu Yuanhuan opened his mouth to eat, and then he said, "Don't worry about the situation in the village. After receiving your letter, Third Uncle was busy calculating the exact amount of grain to be distributed in the village and distributing the grain before bringing us to the city."

"Where's Lu Mingxi? Isn't she home?"

Lu Mingdong changed the subject!

Lu Yuanhuan said, "Xiao west and Cheng Xia took a long-distance bus this time. It will take them seven or eight days to get back, but judging from the time, they should be home tonight!"

Lu Mingdong said "oh" and continued feeding her apples.

The two chatted idly, and whenever Lu Yuanhuan asked a question that seemed a bit off, Lu Mingdong would change the subject.

Until the apple was finished and the IV drip was finished.

Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo have finally returned.

The moment Lu Yuanhuan opened the hospital room door and saw Lu Yuanqing, all the grievances she had suffered and suppressed erupted at that moment.

"Third Brother!"

Lu Yuanhuan called out for help, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Having found out what had happened, Lu Yuanqing sighed slightly, holding her in his arms.

"Waaah, Third Brother! Waaah! You're finally here!!!"

Lu Yuanhuan cried incessantly, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.

Lu Yuanqing didn't say anything to comfort her, but let her cry.

"You've been wronged, we're here, Third Brother is here, don't be afraid!"

cry!

Crying it out made me feel so much better!

Suppressing it all the time isn't a good thing.

Moreover, she has had a really tough time during this period. She has no one to rely on and so many things have happened. She was so scared that she fell ill at home.

However, Lu Yuanqing was still a little angry. "Why didn't you see a doctor when you were sick? Why did you just stay at home and suffer? What's the big deal? It's such a trivial matter, yet you can't sleep or eat properly, and you're always worried and scared." This doesn't look like someone who will live a long life.

"Waaah, mmm!!"

Lu Yuanhuan buried her face in his arms and cried uncontrollably, barely listening to what he was saying.

Lu Yuanqing felt both sorry for her and thought she was being unambitious.

What's the big deal? Is it necessary to make yourself like this?

While Lu Mingdong was crying uncontrollably, Lu Yuanbo was being pulled out of the ward by Lu Mingdong.

"The IV drip is finished, the doctor came to check on me, prescribed some medicine, and said I can be discharged now."

There's a shortage of supplies right now. Once things are settled, we need to free up hospital beds as soon as possible because others still need them!

The two went to complete the discharge procedures and then returned to the ward.

By this time, Lu Yuanhuan had almost finished crying.

After packing up their purchases, the group returned to the place Lu Yuanhuan and the others had rented.

There are two bedrooms. Lu Yuanhuan usually sleeps in one, while Cheng Xia and Lu Mingxi sleep in the other.

In their permanent residence, they have everything they need.

After Lu Yuanbo arrived home, he took Lu Mingdong out to cook, leaving Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanhuan at home to talk.

After being ill, Lu Yuanhuan looked very unwell and weak.

Lu Yuanqing told her to go back to bed and rest well while waiting for the opening.

But Lu Yuanhuan shook his head, "Third Brother, you and Fourth Brother went to inquire about me, didn't you!"

Seeing her insistence, Lu Yuanqing didn't force her to go back to bed. Instead, he sat down next to her, patted her shoulder, and said, "I listen to three-tenths of what others say, but I believe everything you say!"

This trust made Lu Yuanhuan very happy, and a smile appeared on her pale face.

"The situation is similar to what's being said outside, but there are still some differences!"

Lu Yuanhuan had nothing to hide from Lu Yuanqing.

Even if it's something embarrassing, she won't feel ashamed.

Because Lu Yuanqing would not laugh at her, nor would he despise her; he would only feel sorry for her!

"After I graduated, I was assigned to work at a newspaper. There was a colleague named Zhang Xiaoya who took good care of me and guided me through all the tasks, which helped me adapt to the job quickly. I am very grateful to her, and because I met such a kind person, I became even closer to her..."

Because of this gratitude, she didn't mind that Zhang Xiaoya didn't like many of her habits.

Friends won't hold grudges over these things.

However, it was all just Lu Yuanhuan's wishful thinking!

Should we say she's too naive and easily trusts people?

That's not how I should have said it! She's just soft-hearted and kind.

Despite being someone who is so easy to please others, she still encounters situations where she is bullied.

Or rather, the saying "kindness is taken advantage of" is simply a human weakness.

She treated Zhang Xiaoya as a friend, so naturally she didn't keep her distance from her.

Therefore, when Zhang Xiaoya wanted to introduce a potential partner to her, Lu Yuanhuan did not refuse.

She's already this age, and if it weren't for her studies, she probably would have considered this matter long ago.

So even though she might feel embarrassed about it, she didn't have any objections.

She knew that Lu Yuanqing wanted her to stay in the city.

So, no matter how shy Lu Yuanhuan was, she agreed to Zhang Xiaoya's suggestion to introduce her cousin to her.

Lu Yuanhuan had made up her mind. If she felt good about the meeting, she would write home to ask Lu Yuanqing and the others for their opinions.

If Lu Yuanqing had no objections, she would agree.

“That day, I went with Zhang Xiaoya to meet someone early in the morning. We arranged to meet at the movie theater and watch a movie. At first, Zhang Xiaoya was with us, and when I saw her cousin, I didn’t notice anything wrong.”

“But after the movie, Zhang Xiaoya left early. I was scared and wanted to go with her, but she told me to stay where I was and go shopping with her cousin.”

"I had no choice but to agree, but as soon as she left, her cousin seemed like a completely different person. He...he..."

Lu Yuanqing handed her a glass of water and told her to drink some first.

Lu Yuanhuan took the drink but didn't drink it. Instead, she continued, "Zhang Xiaoya's cousin keeps trying to touch me inappropriately. I don't dislike him, so I said I wanted to leave, but he wouldn't let me go and even tried to drag me into the alley..."

Lu Yuanhuan's fear at the time still terrifies him, and he can't help but tremble when he thinks about it now.

"If I hadn't been discovered at that moment, I would have..."

Lu Yuanqing also found out what happened next.

The person who saved Lu Yuanhuan was Gu Yushan, the police officer in charge of the case after she was wrongly accused of stealing money and reported it to the police.

It's such a coincidence.

Even more coincidentally, he was also the policeman who was in charge of dealing with Niu Aibao in the commune.

Isn't that a coincidence?

They're originally from the city.

He was assigned to a remote area at the time, but returned to the city based on his own abilities.

Last time we dealt with Niu Aibao, and now we've solved the money theft problem.

Lu Yuanqing didn't recognize the other person at the time, having only met him once.

Now they've saved Lu Yuanhuan again.

"Is this... fate?" Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh.

"Third brother..."

Lu Yuanhuan called out to him shyly.

Seeing that she was shy, Lu Yuanqing stopped teasing her.

But, "it's all just fate!"

It is said that stories are not made without coincidences.

That's right, Gu Yushan saved Lu Yuanhuan, and now he's Lu Yuanhuan's marriage partner.

Lu Yuanhuan pursed her lips, her expression becoming more complex. "Who knew he was Zhang Xiaoya's blind date? Both families had met, and they were even going to set a date for the wedding!"

That's life! You really can't predict what kind of life fate will arrange for you.

Zhang Xiaoya's cousin bullied Lu Yuanhuan, so Zhang Xiaoya was an accomplice.

Ironically, the person who saved Lu Yuanhuan was Zhang Xiaoya's fiancé.

After being stopped, Zhang Xiaoya's cousin, fearing being arrested, started making up all sorts of lies.

What? Lu Yuanhuan is his girlfriend.

If Lu Yuanhuan and Gu Yushan know each other, there must be something between them.

I'm just afraid of all the slander that will follow if I take responsibility.

Public opinion is a powerful force; after his outburst and the subsequent spread of rumors, it seems that Gu Yushan and Lu Yuanhuan really do have something going on.

Whether it's true or not, in the eyes of those onlookers, they have something to hide.

But Gu Yushan originally had a girlfriend!

When Zhang Xiaoya found out, she went completely insane!

She didn't blame her cousin for his physical advances, nor did she blame him for making up stories about her fiancé and Lu Yuanhuan to shirk responsibility.

She blamed only Lu Yuanhuan.

She was even more ruthless, making the whole thing public knowledge.

"So you agreed to marry Gu Yushan just to get revenge on Zhang Xiaoya for spreading rumors that you are... um?" Lu Yuanqing had heard a lot of gossip about Gu Yushan and his younger sister.

Now he just wants to know Lu Yuanhuan's true thoughts.

Lu Yuanhuan turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly, but nodded when Lu Yuanqing pressed her for an answer.

"I do want to get revenge on her!"

Why should she introduce her morally questionable cousin to her? She so easily treats her as a connection, and even after knowing everything, she still wants to ruin her reputation like this. Just for her cousin, she doesn't even care about her fiancé.

During this period, both she and Gu Yushan were troubled by these inexplicable rumors.

Gu Yushan was resolute. After he carefully explained to Zhang Xiaoya, she still sided with her cousin.

What else is there to say?

Gu Yushan immediately dissolved the engagement with Zhang Xiaoya, demonstrating his innocence through his actions.

But he was being too naive.

Spectators don't judge right or wrong; they just want to see more explosive gossip.

Even though the engagement wasn't dissolved, Zhang Xiaoya went berserk, targeting only Lu Yuanhuan.

Now is the perfect time to get both of these high-profile figures involved.

That's how this inexplicable marriage came about.

Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh, but still advised, "Xiao Huan, these kinds of rumors won't hurt you as long as you don't care!"

"I know!"

"You knew it, yet you still made yourself look so miserable?" Lu Yuanqing glared at her. She had a cold but didn't go to see a doctor, instead just stayed at home and let it fester.

All those sentimental thoughts came from having a cold and being all alone; all sorts of vulnerable feelings surfaced at that moment.

Lu Yuanhuan smiled ingratiatingly, "I know I was wrong. I didn't think things through for a moment. I won't do it again!"

When she catches a cold, she feels useless and like she's being bullied.

I couldn't figure it out for a while, and I got stuck on a dead end.

Lu Yuanqing slapped her on the forehead; this time he was really scared to death.

"If you're unhappy, we'll go home. I'll be there for you, and no one will bully you. So don't worry, home will always be your support. As for the marriage, whether it's impulsive or revenge-driven, as long as you're troubled, don't be afraid of the consequences. At worst, just come home with me!"

It's impossible not to be scared when I'm suddenly getting married.

Lu Yuanhuan didn't know why he had become like this.

Why did she suddenly agree to Gu Yushan's proposal?

She had clearly decided that even if she were to get married in the future, her marriage partner would have to be approved by Lu Yuanqing before she would agree.

Is it impulsive?

Yes, a little!

Zhang Xiaoya has gone too far. She knows how much Zhang Xiaoya cares about her fiancé, Gu Yushan.

He always talks about it with a boastful expression.

Now, in a way, she has introduced Lu Yuanhuan to a potential partner.

But now that his family is with him, Lu Yuanhuan regrets it.

She shouldn't have impulsively agreed to the marriage.

No one can be more reliable than family.

However, faced with Lu Yuanqing's insistence on going home with him or quitting altogether, Lu Yuanhuan thought for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "Third Brother, I know you're good to me. Even if something is a huge deal, it's nothing to you. But why should I leave?"

"It's not my fault. If I leave, won't it just make people think it's my problem?"

"I don't want to. I, Lu Yuanhuan, am an upright person. Why should I run away in defeat?"

"Third Brother, I've made up my mind. Although I don't like Gu Yushan yet, he's a good person and a good marriage prospect. If I marry him, I'll be the one who benefits! I can also make Zhang Xiaoya angry. I'm happy!"

She's grown up now and can't rely on her third brother to solve everything for her.

She needs to solve this herself.
