Chapter 798: A Forced Absolution
The first picture showed her at the airport, the wind had blown away the scarf covering her face. The next one was a little different, she did not know how they had snapped this, but it was of her at the hospital, right after she had finished donating blood and was receiving intravenous drip treatment. The photos were unedited, and in both of them, one could see that she seemed sickly and her complexion was as pale as a ghost.
Yan Huan’s adultery once again became a trending topic.
“Yan Huan transfused nearly 1300cc of blood to her ex-husband. It seems that there’s more than meets the eye about her adultery. It wasn’t adultery, instead, she was giving her blessing” Underneath this article were a few more pictures, all of them depicting Lu Yi with a young woman. Both of them seemed to be very intimate with each other.
“A mysterious woman is now in Lu Yi’s life. She’s generous with her spending, one month’s expenditure can be more than 10 million. Meanwhile, Yan Huan tried to secretly donate 10 million to charity.”
In no time, this news once again exploded with popularity in the entertainment field.
A few months ago, people were still shaming her online. Now, she was suddenly absolved. Many people turned from shaming her and hating her, to becoming dear fans of hers.
There was even a saying that became quite popular online.
‘One should marry a wife like Yan Huan.’
1300cc of blood… No sane person would dare to do such a thing to themselves. Drawing out 1500cc of blood would be enough to kill someone, yet she had dared to donate 1300cc of blood. When something happened, why didn’t the woman who spent tens of million dollars appear? Why didn’t she donate her blood?
A whip-like cracking sound was heard, as Sun Yuhan threw her brand-new phone down onto the floor. The screen of her phone shattered instantly. Every broken piece of the screen reflected a different color, as well as the twisted grimace on her face.
Who was spreading such lies? She had so obviously committed adultery, being with another man and acting like a promiscuous woman. Now, she was suddenly a chaste woman. What is this Yan Huan? She’s just a cheap and shameless unwanted woman.
Sun Yuhan might not have any money, nor did she have much fame. However, she lived a dignified life, which was much nobler than some people.
However, was this really the whole truth? It seemed like she had more than a few secrets.
For example, she had never saved Lu Yi before, it was he who saved her.
Also, she had purposely injured her leg. Furthermore, she used all the opportunities to corner Lu Yi to make that promise.
Lu Yi placed the notebook on his leg, tapping away on the keyboard with his fingers. When He Yibin entered, he thought that Lu Yi had returned to his workaholic self, even when he had not fully recovered yet.
Hence, he honestly felt that Lu Yi should apply for the Most Hardworking Employee Award. He was hanging between life and death, yet he had not forgotten about his work. He really wanted to know what was Lu Yi’s brain like. Even after seriously injuring his head, he was busying himself the whole day. Does his head not hurt? Or does he think with his toes and not his brain?
He walked over and leaned over to get a closer look, his eyes widened after a while.
“Lu Yi, did you write this?” He pointed a finger at the recently trending news topic online.
“Sort of.” Lu Yi did not deny it, saying, “The majority of it was fabricated by netizens, all I did was reveal some truths. If it was my mistake, then I shall carry the burden, not anyone else.”
“I’m the scumbag., I’m the one who committed adultery.”
“Lu Yi, have you gone mad?” He Yibin suddenly felt a desire to pick up the scalpel again and open up Lu Yi’s brain, scolding, “If you do this, you’ll ruin yourself.”
“No, I won’t. I can endure this little damage, and I’m not afraid of others investigating me.”
He closed the notebook and set it aside.
After that, he pulled out a book from beside him. He was not a talkative person; he could be overly quiet.
He Yibin placed his hand on Lu Yi’s forehead, saying, “Tsk, it isn’t burning up, so how come you’re doing such unreasonable things. Your good name is about to be destroyed.”
“I don’t care.” Lu Yi leaned backward, feeling extremely tired.
“When can I be discharged from the hospital?”
He Yibin did some mental calculations and replied, “If you want to leave earlier, then maybe in three days. Only one more full examination and if there’s nothing wrong, congratulations, you will continue to live. You might not live for another 10 or 20 years, but if you want to stay here for a while longer and donate some more money to the hospital, I have no objection to that.”
“Understood,” Lu Yi began reading again, but he was not sure if anything he read was actually entering his mind.
Even though he was holding the book upside-down, his eyes were still fixed on the book. His onyx-black eyes reflected the darkness of the night, bleak and barren without the dotting light of the stars and moon.
Three days later, Lu Yi’s head was still wrapped with a bandage. Although the results of the examination were not too terrible, they were not exactly ideal either. At least, he was allowed to leave the hospital and continue recuperating at home.
The key thing for recovering from an illness was to rest. It would be impossible to return to his healthy self within one week. However, He Yibin felt that a psychopath like Lu Yi would just go straight to work instead of resting at home.
However, it would be safer not to go to work at all. After all, his brain had been injured. What if he overworked his brain and became stupid?
Lu Yi did not have many memories now He Yibin was afraid that after this brain injury, Lu Yi would become increasingly stupid with each subsequent impact.
Lu Yi opened the door and did not utter a word to anyone. Instead, he immediately gathered his belongings and left.
He picked up his few pieces of luggage and walked towards his room.
The house was not brightly-lit inside. Although the entire house was quite warm, he still felt a little chilly. After opening his wardrobe, he hung the few clothes he had inside it. After hanging them up, he carefully counted the pieces of women’s clothing inside. The number was the same as it had always been.
However, after closing the wardrobe, he stood in front of the table unknowingly and placed his fingers on the table. It was as if he was trying to touch something, but there was nothing on the table.
“Knock knock…” the air was filled with the sound of someone knocking on the door outside.
He walked over and opened the door, the person standing there was none other than Sun Yuhan.
“Lu Yi, you’re back!” The minute Sun Yuhan saw Lu Yi, her eyes brimmed with tears. Instantly, she walked forward and embraced Lu Yi, wrapping her arms around his waist, her voice breaking as she said,
“Lu Yi, you really scared me. Luckily, you’re alright. Thank goodness, you’re alright. Otherwise, I would not continue living.”
Lu Yi merely stood there, with his back ramrod straight. He stood firmly like a great pine tree, so grounded that not even a powerful thunderstorm would ruffle his branches.
He lifted his hand up and placed it on Sun Yuhan’s shoulder. Then, he pushed her away and turned around, before walking out. Sun Yuhan was left standing there, completely thunderstruck, both her hands still awkwardly held up in midair.
