“Watch out!”
Lu Wanmian shouted urgently, then lunged forward. With a loud crash, the bottle smashed against her arm.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Lu Siyuan reacted quickly, turning to shield Lu Wanmian as he kicked the attacker away.
Seeing Lu Wanmian’s bleeding arm, Lu Siyuan panicked: “Mianmian, are you alright?”
She looked at him weakly, her face full of relief: “Brother, as long as you’re fine.”
With that, her vision went dark, and she fainted.
Lu Siyuan held her tightly, shouting in a panic: “Mianmian, what’s wrong?”
He no longer cared about finding Yun Manyin. He scooped Lu Wanmian up in his arms and hurried outside: “Quick, take my sister to the hospital!”
The group was thrown into a flurry, rushing frantically toward the bar entrance.
Of course, Lu Wanmian hadn’t actually fainted—the injury wasn’t severe enough to knock her out. When she’d lunged forward earlier, she’d deliberately angled herself to avoid serious harm. This way, she could both stop Lu Siyuan from finding the female lead and make him feel guilty.
Lu Siyuan carried Lu Wanmian out of the bar, and the group piled into the car, speeding toward the hospital.
They raced to a nearby hospital. After getting out, Lu Siyuan carried Lu Wanmian into the lobby, shouting: “Doctor! Quick! My sister has fainted!”
Seeing this, the medical staff quickly brought over an emergency stretcher bed. After placing Lu Wanmian on it, they rushed her toward the emergency room.
As Lu Siyuan pushed the stretcher bed forward, he issued a harsh warning: “You must save my sister! If anything happens to her, I’ll make you all pay with your lives!”
The medical staff broke out in a cold sweat.
Lu Wanmian, who was faking unconsciousness, couldn’t help but click her tongue inwardly. What a Great Villain—just like a tyrant.
Still, judging by how frantic he was, he really did care about his cheap sister.
Lu Wanmian was rushed into the emergency room for treatment, while Lu Siyuan and his men waited anxiously outside.
His sister had suffered so much outside, and now, right after returning, she’d taken a bottle for him. It was heartbreaking.
He was filled with regret.
If only he’d found her sooner, she wouldn’t have had to endure so much.
Half an hour later, the doctor came out and told him that Lu Wanmian was fine—she’d just gotten her arm cut by the bottle. The wound was a bit deep, but a few stitches would take care of it.
Hearing this, Lu Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good!”
Then he added seriously: “Stitch the wound neatly, and use the best medicine. Make sure there’s no scarring.”
Girls cared about their looks, and he didn’t want his sister to be left with a scar and a psychological shadow because of this.
The doctor nodded repeatedly, assuring him there would be absolutely no scarring.
Before long, Lu Wanmian was wheeled out of the emergency room and transferred to a VIP ward.
Lu Wanmian “woke up” at just the right moment.
Seeing her awake, Lu Siyuan, who had been keeping vigil by her bedside, was overjoyed. He grabbed her hand, his eyes glistening with tears: “Mianmian, you’re finally awake. You scared me to death.”
Then he couldn’t help but chide her: “How could you take a bottle for me? That was too dangerous.”
Lu Wanmian looked at him with feigned fragility and said: “At that moment, I just thought my brother couldn’t get hurt, so I lunged over to block it for you. I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Lu Siyuan was deeply moved. Aside from Yun Manyin, it had been a long time since anyone had been this good to him.
He wiped his tears and looked at her with firm determination, admonishing, “Wanmian, even if you worry about your brother, you must never do something so foolish again. Your brother’s skin is thick and his flesh is tough—not just a bottle, even knives and guns can’t hurt me.”
Lu Wanmian grabbed his hand tightly and said with concern, “Brother, even if you’re tough, you’re not made of iron. You need to protect yourself properly.”
Lu Siyuan felt warm inside at his biological sister’s concern and nodded eagerly in agreement.
Seeing the deep bond between the siblings, the subordinates nearby were moved to tears.
Just then, someone suddenly felt something was off—they seemed to have forgotten something important.
A bodyguard snapped back to reality and exclaimed, “Sir, I think we forgot about Miss Yun.”
Lu Siyuan’s heart jolted, and he remembered—they had left Yun Manyin behind.
He panicked: “Oh no, Yun Manyin is still at the bar waiting for me to rescue her. Wanmian, you rest here at the hospital. I’m going to the bar to find her.”
He stood up to leave, but his phone suddenly rang—a call came in.
He picked up the phone and answered. After hearing what the caller said, his face filled with shock: “What? The bar was raided by the police, and Yun Manyin and the others were taken away?”
The caller said, “Yes, they’re all at the station now. But Yun Manyin is safe and sound—don’t worry.”
After hanging up, Lu Siyuan grumbled in frustration, “Who the hell called the police?”
Behind him, Lu Wanmian’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint. Of course, it was she who had called the police.
At the time, she had thought that if she couldn’t stop Lu Siyuan, she would call the police and get them involved. That way, Lu Siyuan wouldn’t be framed again.
Now the plan had gone smoothly.
Worried about Yun Mengyin, Lu Siyuan turned and instructed his subordinates behind him: “You two stay here and look after the young miss. The rest of you, come with me to the police station to pick people up.”
With that, he hurriedly left with his men.
Lu Wanmian watched their departing figures and clicked her tongue. By the time he got there, it would probably be too late.
She guessed right. When Lu Siyuan arrived at the police station with his men, Yun Manyin had already been picked up by the male lead. He had come for nothing.
He anxiously called Yun Manyin, but she didn’t answer. In the end, he could only return to the hospital dejectedly.
Lu Wanmian watched Lu Sixing’s crestfallen expression and felt especially pleased.
This was just the beginning—there was more excitement to come.
Prodigal brother, just wait for the next move.
Lu Wanmian’s injuries weren’t serious, and she could have skipped the hospital stay, but Lu Siyuan insisted she be hospitalized for treatment, so she had no choice but to stay.
The next afternoon, once her injuries had improved, she completed the discharge procedures and left.
Lu Siyuan had gone to the group company to handle business. Before leaving, he said the old master of the Lu family wanted to see her, so he had his personal bodyguard A Kai drive her to the Lu family’s old residence. He would rush over once he was done.
Lu Wanmian tidied up briefly, followed A Kai out of the hospital, and headed to the Lu family’s old residence by car.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, A Kai thought back to Lu Wanmian’s reckless driving the day before and asked curiously, “Young miss, you were driving so fast yesterday—where did you learn that skill?”
Lu Wanmian glanced at him and replied calmly, “Back when I lived with my adoptive parents, they sold vegetables. The place we lived was far from the wholesale market, so after I learned to drive, I was the one who went to pick up the goods. In the mornings, to grab fresher vegetables, I had to speed, and over time, that’s how I honed my driving skills.”
Hearing this, A Kai couldn’t help but feel sympathetic. “So that’s how it was. Miss, you really had it tough.”
Lu Wanmian gave a soft “Mm” and said, “Yeah, it wasn’t easy at all.”
Before long, the car arrived at a snack street in the city. It was early afternoon, and the street was already bustling. Looking at the delicious snacks lining both sides, Lu Wanmian’s mouth began to water. She suggested, “How about we get out and grab something to eat first? We still have plenty of time.”
A Kai nodded happily. “Sure!”
He parked the car to the side, and the two got out. A Kai looked at the food stalls on both sides of the street, his face full of excitement. “Miss, I know this snack street like the back of my hand. The donkey meat shaobing, teppanyaki bullfrog, savory sauce pancakes, roast duck, roast chicken, spicy rabbit head—they’re all top-notch. And there are all kinds of pastries and snacks—absolutely delicious.”
With that, he couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Lu Wanmian glanced at him and thought to herself, So A Kai is a foodie.
A smile tugged at the corner of her lips. “Then take me to get something tasty.”
“You got it!”
A Kai cheerfully led her forward.
Following A Kai’s suggestions, the two bought two bags of barbecue, munching on skewers as they strolled along the street.
After walking a short distance, they came to a quick-fry food stall.
A large crowd of young girls had gathered around the stall, their faces flushed with excitement as they pointed their phones at a young man cooking fried rice at the stove, snapping photos while exclaiming how handsome he was.
Lu Wanmian couldn’t help but look over at the young man.
