Chapter 416: Dawn
Many people were watching.
Whether it was the people Qi Yan had brought with her or the people in the hospital who had heard the commotion, all of them looked at this “bloody” scene in shock. However, no one dared to step forward to help, because they were afraid of being beaten up.
Then, an old man’s weak voice sounded from inside the operating theater. “An…”
“Grandpa!”
Lu An came back to her senses immediately. She let go of Qi Yan, turned around, and ran into the operating room.
“Grandpa, Grandpa!”
When she saw her grandfather lying weakly on the operating table, but clearly awake, the little girl instantly collapsed and wailed.
At that moment, all her tension dissipated and she calmed down. Lu An collapsed next to the operating table, but Ling Chuan picked her up. She pursed her lips and trembled slightly as tears flowed silently.
“Grandpa is fine, Grandpa is fine…”
The old man had walked through the gates of hell, and thought that his life was already at an end. However, he had been pulled back forcefully.
At that moment, tears welled up in Qi Xiuyuan’s eyes. He held his granddaughter’s little hand in his big and rough one and could only repeat the words, not knowing what else to say.
In his dream, after he died, his obedient granddaughter turned into a demon, and started a massacre…
Fortunately, it was just a dream, a dream!
“Grandpa, are you hungry? Does it especially feel like you can’t taste anything? Do you want to eat something?”
Lu An gradually recovered, and Ling Chuan helped her sit down next to the operating table.
Just then, little Anzi very smartly came over. Its white belly opened, and it took out porridge that had been perfectly preserved.
“Okay, okay.”
Grandpa just nodded repeatedly, his tears still flowing silently. His heart ached to the extreme.
Lu An smiled and wiped away her grandfather’s tears. Then, she considerately fed him the porridge.
On the side, Ling Chuan and Big Brother stood quietly, and a certain little Ergou wagged its tail.
Although it was dark in the operating theater, it felt warm and peaceful.
Many people poked their heads in for a look, and some couldn’t help but tear up.
They were glad for the warmth of this moment.
On the other side, Qi Yan, the doctors, and the reporters were all nervous.
Hadn’t things already been settled?
He had already been euthanized and died in 20 seconds, but he could still come back to life??
What kind of demon was Lu An?
Qi Yan was about to explode with anger. She was even more worried that Grandpa would identify her as the culprit. Before she could do anything, she was surrounded by the police.
“We received a report that someone was euthanized with malicious intent. Who was the person who reported it?”
“Here.”
Ling Chuan and Big Brother Lu Boran stepped forward.
…
Videos of Lu An beating up the doctors and Qi Yan were forwarded like crazy online.
Those online users who didn’t know Lu An and were seeing her for the first time were utterly frightened!
The doctors in the video were beaten black and blue, and Qi Yan’s face was bloody and disfigured!
[Oh my god, what kind of grudge is this? Isn’t this person too scary? *shock* *shock* *shock*]
Many people blacklisted Lu An; the sight of her horrified them.
[I heard that she even harmed her own grandfather. To think that everyone was fighting over her magazine just a second ago! Right now, I just want to say that how happy people were fighting over the magazine just now is how disgusted I am now! This person is simply inhuman!]
In particular, some stubborn online users insisted on taking Lu An’s side, believed in her, and even liked her more after everything came out, which thoroughly disgusted many online users.
[It’s a national disgrace to be blacklisted! Who knows how those Chinese medicine and traditional music masters who were still cheering for her feel? Scary!]
There was even a new hashtag, #BanLuAn#.
A large group of online users were clamoring for Lu An to take a hike and be punished for what she had done.
Some of the endorsement companies that Lu An had rejected even came out to stir up trouble.
[You don’t know, but when she was popular earlier, a certain company even called to sincerely invite her to work with them. Guess what happened in the end? She couldn’t be bothered with them at all, and even scolded them a few times. Do you think this is human behavior?]
[They want to collaborate with you because they think highly of you. In the end, you throw that in their face. Do you really think you’re so amazing?]
[Speaking of which, I felt that there was something wrong with her from the start. She doesn’t deserve so much attention!]
People spoke up one after another, and a recording of Lu An taking calls from the companies was even posted online.
For example —
“I’m sorry, who is *beep*?”
For example —
“Why are all of you asking for *beep*? Who does *beep* think they are?!”
And —
“Don’t ask about *beep*. *Beep* is a fool. Why are you looking for them? Are you looking for a beating?”
Certain words were deliberately censored.
Vulgar words weren’t allowed on many variety shows or programs, and many programs would censor them.
When the online users heard this, they naturally thought that Lu An was scolding someone.
She even changed her voice while she was at it. Did she think that no one would know it was her?
Everyone was indignant.
[D*mn, whenever I see her, she looks refined and has a strong aura, but she’s actually such a vulgar person?? How can those who work with her bear it?]
[Speaking of which, isn’t her father the same? Sure enough, like father, like daughter. This isn’t something that can be changed even if one’s family environment is changed. It’s Qi Yan who knows what it’s like to be human.]
And so on and so forth.
However, most of Lu An’s fans didn’t believe it.
[I think it’s definitely some sort of misunderstanding. Our little sister wouldn’t do something like this for no reason.]
[That’s right, I believe in Little Sister. Before she says anything, I won’t take sides!]
[That’s right! We also advise some people not to jump to conclusions. Haven’t you learned your bloody lesson after what happened before? Don’t be used by others. It doesn’t feel good to suddenly realize you’re a fool and to feel ashamed!]
One after another, Lu An’s fans waited for her to clarify things.
Many people also stopped talking nonsense after seeing their comments.
However, there were still some people who were willing to be someone else’s gun, or just wanted to trample Lu An to death!
Trample a little more, and a little more.
[So? No matter what happened, is this a reason for almost crippling someone?]
[She already scratched Qi Yan’s face so badly. Who knows if it can recover! In a world where looks matter, she has destroyed someone else’s life, do you know that?]
[That’s right. I don’t know why so many people are actually going against their conscience and saying that they won’t take sides. Not taking sides is actually taking Lu An’s side, right?! It’s because people like you support her that she’s become more and more arrogant, and can even beat up people in public!!]
Qi Yan’s fans in particular became even more indignant.
However, Lu An’s fans didn’t fight them, nor did they argue anymore. They just waited, waited, and waited.
They remained unmoving and maintained a steady watch like mountains. Even if it was dark and dirty, they believed in their little sister and waited. Then —
There was a ray of light, as pure white as an angel finally descending to the world!
Chapter 417: Mass Exodus of Fans
After the South City police station investigated the matter thoroughly, they personally came out to give an explanation.
Lu An’s grandfather, Qi Xiuyuan, had suddenly fainted at home. Little Anzi, the robot, had been worried about his safety, and called for him to be sent to the hospital. Who would have thought that the old man would be forced by the hospital to sign an euthanasia form. Lu An had arrived just in time.
Lu An had beaten up the doctors and Qi Yan because of her grandfather.
According to the hospital’s explanation, Grandpa Qi Xiuyuan himself wanted to die, and desperately asked the hospital to euthanize him. However, according to Qi Xiuyuan’s statement, the doctors drugged him and forced him to sign the form.
At present, there was no evidence to prove which side was innocent. However, according to the records of the little robot that had been taking care of Qi Xiuyuan, there was no such thing as illness or pain, or of the old man feeling tormented, nor did he want to die.
After that, the South City police station even specially uploaded a video of a professional reporter interviewing little Anzi.
In the video, little Anzi’s cute big eyes withdrew to play images from Grandpa’s life.
A warm yellow Labrador was lying next to it. From time to time, it would paw in the direction of the reporter if the latter got too close, as if it was afraid that the reporter would hurt little Anzi.
“19:00. Grandpa just finished dinner. I forced him to go out to the courtyard to digest his food, and we played chess. After that, he went to take a bath and to sleep.
“The bathroom scene is a violation of privacy. I’ll only show you the head and hands.”
The scene switched to the bathroom, where the old man was in the warm bathtub.
Little Anzi kept the old man’s body pixelated, leaving only the head and hands clear. It could be seen that the old man was in a good mood, and would chat with the robot briefly from time to time, mostly about his granddaughter, Lu An.
For example, what was his granddaughter doing now? Was she eating properly? She might have forgotten to eat or sleep again.
“The next morning, which was today at 7:00, I dragged him out for a run of 30 meters. After Grandpa threatened me, he sat on the couch and rested. I did a full-body check on him. The results were that his body was a little weaker than before, but there was no problem.”
A clear chart of the old man’s physical stats was displayed on the screen.
The numbers were normal.
“7:45. As I was keeping an eye on him, I went to the kitchen to make him breakfast.
“He was picky and said that he didn’t want meat, but sweet things. Taking his health into account, I gave him two sweet glutinous rice balls…”
And so on and so forth.
In the video, although Grandpa was quiet from time to time and even sighed slightly, he didn’t show any signs of wanting to die, nor of suffering so-called pain and illness, as the trash doctors had said.
Once this video was released, a lot of online users commented on it.
Some wanted a similar robot model, and there were even some who wanted to kowtow to the dog and the little robot. They felt that the little machine could take care of the elderly better than an ordinary person.
Those who said that Lu An was faking filial piety and had tossed the old man to the side were simply slapped in the face.
Then, Grandpa Qi Xiuyuan came out to clarify things.
It had to do with the wicked deeds of his other granddaughter, Qi Yan.
“She harmed her own brother in order to gain sympathy for herself. She came to our house just to look good and because she felt that we had a better reputation. Unfortunately, our family wasn’t as dazzling as she thought!”
Qi Xiuyuan was basically throwing Qi Yan out with his authoritative words.
The moment she saw him again, she threatened him, wanted to send him to heaven, and framed An’an. She was no longer his granddaughter, and never would be!
However, Grandpa Qi Xiuyuan didn’t dare tell Lu An everything.
It wasn’t because he wanted to let off Qi Yan, but that he was afraid that his An’an would do something stupid. If she really harmed someone, she wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility.
He didn’t want his good An’an to be tainted because of this person.
When they found out the truth, all the online users were dumbfounded!
[O. M. G.. Is there something wrong with this Qi Yan?? Isn’t she too scary??]
[Those who spoke up for Qi Yan before, are you still going to say it now? She wasn’t even going to let her own grandfather off. She’s lucky that Lu An didn’t kill her!]
[That’s right. If it were me, I might have beaten her up even more ruthlessly than Lu An! D*mn, she’s inhuman!]
The online users quickly went crazy and bombarded Qi Yan.
Lu An also personally came out to explain things.
She absolutely didn’t regret beating up Qi Yan and those quack doctors. She was willing to bear all the consequences, but even if it happened again, she would still hit them! She was already being merciful by not beating them to death directly.
Many online users praised Lu An for being so tough.
However, there were still many people who felt that Lu An was too ruthless. They felt that any one who did wrong should be punished by the law, and she shouldn’t have taken it into her own hands.
Lu An’s fans ignored these people and wished them well, that no matter what happened to their family, they would always be rational, and no matter how others bullied him, they would never fight back.
There were also many people who latched onto how impolite Lu An had been in refusing the collaborations.
Unfortunately, before they could say anything else, they were slapped in the face by “You Direct, I Film.”
Li Zheng: [I was going to use this in the official broadcast tonight, but since all of you are talking about it, let me release a preview for everyone. I hope those who maliciously hurt others will at least apologize properly.]
Li Zheng uploaded a video of Lu An taking calls.
Very quickly, everyone learned that Lu An had never scolded anyone since the beginning.
She was indeed a little impatient and didn’t want to deal with all that, but she was only scolding herself.
Lu An’s fans found it funny and heartbreaking.
It was funny because Little Sister was too capable. She actually scolded herself as a fool in front of everyone!
It was heartbreaking because Little Sister had been misunderstood and called vulgar!
Now that there was evidence, they naturally had to help Little Sister slap everyone else back in the face.
The paid trolls didn’t dare say anything else.
Even the big shot Tao Qian came out to speak up for Lu An.
Tao Qian: [Little Sister Lu has already arranged to do a variety show with me. Those companies without any standards shouldn’t jump out to delay her. They were declined, but still want to make their presence known, while I’m still in the queue. Who do you think you are?]
As the most representative master of variety in the entertainment industry, Tao Qian’s words fired up everyone!
[Ahhh, Lu An is too awesome! It’s Tao Qian, it’s a master! Saying something like looking to do an endorsement with her because they thought highly of her — I’m sorry, she doesn’t need you to think highly of her at all, alright?]
[Even Master Tao Qian is in the queue. Who do you think you are? Hahaha, idiot companies, get lost!]
Lu An’s fans were about to die of excitement. Sure enough, Little Sister never disappointed them!
On the other side…
With regards to Qi Yan, it was a mass exodus of fans.
[D*mn, I’ve really never seen such a shameless person!!]
[Speaking of which, I’ve long felt that there’s something wrong with her! With her former brothers, it can’t be a coincidence every time, right?]
[I heard that it was because her current mother got into a car accident and she just so happened to be donating blood at the time that the two of them discovered their blood relation? My god, I suddenly have a speculation. Forgive me for not being able to not think badly of her, but do you think —
[She also arranged that?]
“Gasp!”
Chapter 418: Did You Deliberately Orchestrate Mom’s Car Accident?
Many online users who saw this comment went crazy with shock!
[Surely not, right?]
[She’s not that scary, right?]
[Oh my god! My scalp is numb!!!]
Some people were doubtful and couldn’t believe it.
However, even more people fell silent. They felt that… there didn’t seem anything strange about it?
[She can even lift a hand against a relative whom she knew for so long, let alone a biological mother whom she never met before.]
[So what if it’s her biological mother? Didn’t she collude with someone else to euthanize her grandfather? Although she hasn’t admitted it, the doctors wouldn’t euthanize someone else’s grandfather for no reason if they hadn’t received instructions to do so. It’s clearly her; it’s just a matter of finding evidence.]
Many people felt that it was very strange, and even went to the Weibo account of Qi Yan’s mother, Zhang Xinhui, to persuade her to investigate.
Don’t be harmed for no reason.
Because of what happened before, Zhang Xinhui had been following the Weibo headlines. In order to support her daughter, she even specially opened a Weibo account.
When she saw what the online users said, Zhang Xinhui fell to the floor and was dumbfounded. “…”
…
On the way home from the police station, Qi Yan looked suspiciously at the Beijing big shot.
Qi Yan’s image had clearly already collapsed and she was scolded by everyone. Why was he still protecting her?
“Mr. Xing, I don’t actually understand. Why are you helping me like this?”
Finally, Qi Yan voiced her doubts.
The man had gloomy features and was dressed in an immaculate black suit. He had a pair of black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and his expression couldn’t be seen at all.
He should be in his thirties? In fact, he was even older, and his slender fingers were curled at his sides.
He was very thin, and gave off the feeling that he was frail, but not the way a sickly person was. Conversely, there was something inexplicably familiar about this man’s noble air and pale skin – where had she seen it before?
Qi Yan stared doubtfully at this Beijing big boss.
After a moment, he said, “Miss Qi, not everyone in this world is as upright and optimistic as those people.
“I’m a businessman. The people who hate me the most are those who think themselves righteous.
“Conversely, Miss Qi, as long as you want to fight for the best for yourself, no matter what it takes, this all aligns with my own views. It’s just that I’m bound by this world in the end, and I can’t cross the line, but I support you.
“To put it another way, if there’s no one like you, Miss Qi, who is willing to act, how can you set off those people’s grandeur?
“This world has always operated without reason. If everyone is a good person, then what’s the point?
“In comparison, I think Miss Qi should be treated kindly.
“What do you think?”
The man’s voice was warm and deep. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he crossed his legs and glanced at her from the side. He had the smooth and shrewd air of someone who had experienced a lot.
Qi Yan thought that things probably weren’t that simple, but she still said politely, “No matter what, thank you for saving me, Mr. Xing.”
“You’re welcome. If you encounter any difficulties, you can look for me immediately.”
An expensive card was handed to her.
It was a pure gold card with his private contact on it.
It simply had the word “Xing” on it, followed by a string of numbers.
Qi Yan paused for a moment. After some hesitation, she finally said, “May I ask Mr. Xing’s name?” After knowing him for so long, she still didn’t know his full name, nor had she even seen his face clearly. Thus, she was a little worried.
It felt like something was about to happen.
“Why? Little girl, are you curious about me?”
The man smiled slightly and put his hands together. He simply reached out and patted her head, then said in a doting and comforting tone, “Don’t worry. You’ll find out when you need to.
“You’re home. Be happy, hm?”
The man’s lips curled up in a gentle and elegant smile. His deep and magnetic voice was like that of fine wine.
It was bewitching…
Qi Yan naturally didn’t say anything else. She nodded obediently, then silently went into the house with the name card.
The man only turned around slowly after watching Qi Yan enter the house. He asked the driver in a deep voice, “How much longer can we hold on for?”
“CEO Lu, it should be another two to three months.”
“Two to three months?”
The man narrowed his eyes. After a long while, he said in a low voice, “Alright, that should be enough.
“Drive.”
“Yes, yes!”
The driver hurriedly started the engine.
Qi Yan poked her head out with a suspicious expression after the man drove away. She hadn’t heard the conversation in the car, and she looked at the gold name card in her hand. The corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up in a smile.
Perhaps, he just really liked her.
Although her face now…
Qi Yan rubbed her cheeks, which had been scratched by Lu An. She gritted her teeth, her expression already filled with hatred.
…
“Mom?
“Mom, what are you doing?”
When Qi Yan entered the house, she realized that it was dark inside, and there seemed to be a heavy smell of smoke. Her mother was sitting on the sofa. She looked disheveled and nothing like an elegant lady at all. Instead, she looked like a roadside beggar, or someone who had just lost a fight.
Qi Yan looked very puzzled, and hurried over to her mother.
Her mother just raised her head and glanced at her, completely oblivious to the scars on her face. Her gaze dropped slightly. After a long while, she looked back at her and said, “Yan Yan, I want to ask you something.
“I, I heard that you orchestrated my car accident back then. I want to ask you: Did you deliberately orchestrate my car accident so that I would discover that you are my biological daughter?”
Her mother suddenly turned around and even held her hand. Her eyes were filled with fervor, grief, and anticipation!
Qi Yan inexplicably panicked. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she hurriedly pulled her hand back. “Of, of course not!
“Mom, where did you hear that?
“How could I do something like that?
“I didn’t know who you were at all in the beginning!”
Qi Yan looked incredulous. She didn’t know who was slandering her like this.
“Right, I knew it!
“How could my daughter do such a thing?!”
Zhang Xinhui gave a simple reply. Her eyes were already filled with tears as she said, “No, I have to scold them! I can’t let my daughter be slandered like this! No!”
With that, Zhang Xinhui hurriedly got up and turned around to take out her phone to scold the people who had slandered her daughter.
Qi Yan inexplicably panicked and pulled her back. She had a slightly guilty expression on her face as she comforted her gently. “Alright, Mom, let them say whatever they want. After experiencing so much, I finally understand: As long as you believe me, I don’t care what other people say.”
“Really?”
