Because she still had to work in the afternoon, Lu Anran was ready to leave after eating.
Gu Liangchen wanted to send her off, but she shook her head and refused. “Let’s keep it low until you and Zhu Lanyi are officially divorced. That way, we will have less trouble with each other. I’ve had enough gossips to deal with at work.”
Gu Liangchen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded. “The incident involving the picture was because of my negligence, but the villa, it was in your name.”
But before he could finish, Lu Anran interrupted him, “I will continue to live at the dormitory. Otherwise, I would appear guilty.”
Then she got up and left the private room.
Almost as soon as she left, Zhu Lanyi pushed the door open and came in.
She walked towards Gu Liangchen and demanded, “Can you tell me where Lan Sheng is now?”
Gu Liangchen lit a cigarette and said nonchalantly, “At Zhongxin Hospital.”
Zhu Lanyi’s expression changed. “Doesn’t that mean you handed him over to the police? Gu Liangchen, he is only 17 years old!”
Gu Liangchen raised his eyebrows and smirked. “The police don’t take care of hypoglycemic patients.”
“What do you mean?”
“I asked people to inject him with insulin, not poison.” Smoke came out of Gu Liangchen’s mouth. His voice turned deeper and more pleasant. “This time, I just gave you a wake-up call. If there is another time, I might not be so kind.”
Only then did Zhu Lanyi realize that she had been tricked. If he hadn’t threatened her with the video of her brother doing drugs, she wouldn’t swallow her pride and say those words in front of that b*tch!
It turned out to be insulin…
She gritted her teeth and scoffed, “Since you care about her so much, why don’t you tell her the truth? Wouldn’t she be more grateful to you?”
He leered at her. “The things you did were extremely filthy that I can’t bear to besmirch my woman’s ears.”
With Lu Anran’s temper, if she learned the truth, she would definitely avenge her father at all costs. Gu Liangchen was afraid that Lu Anran would do something vile to get back at them.
He must not let her take that risk.

Back at the hospital, Lu Anran went to the Patient Department first. From a distance, she saw several strange men strolling around in the corridor.
She was right.
Gu Liangchen sent people to protect her father early on.
She was touched by his effort, and she felt her burdens weighed a bit lighter.
She entered the ward, and two nurses were massaging her father. Their movements were meticulous and gentle, and they were very attentive.
Although she still resented Gu Liangchen, she couldn’t be that unfeeling. She was grateful for what he had done for her father.
At least she could go to the research institute peacefully.
Dean Huang kept his promise and settled the matter satisfactorily. In order to dispel the rumors, he even forged a real estate certificate in her name. He showed much effort.
She was still had a lot to do in the afternoon. Lu Anna called her when she was off work and asked her to eat at home.
Although she had misgivings about Lu Anna, she chose to give her the benefit of the doubt. Before finding evidence, she still had to act as usual, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Lu Anna was now rich and lived in a high-end villa.
When she arrived, both mother and daughter were waiting at the door.
As soon as she got off the car, Lin Rushuang greeted her affectionately, “Ran Ran, What took you so long? Was the traffic that bad again? Your sister and I have been waiting for you.”
Lu Anran smiled aloofly. “It’s okay.”
She then passed her by and walked directly to Lu Anna, then asked with a half-hearted smile, “Why did someone as busy as you suddenly invite me over? What’s the matter?”
