o, what do you mean Don't you trust me" Lu Hanchuan frowned tightly.He couldn't let go of Xiaoya, but he and Xiaoya were impossible."I didn't doubt you." Knowing Lü Hánchuan was angry because of her...She originally planned to wait outside for Yao that woman to come out and give her a good scolding.

But now she really couldn't wait any longer. If she waited any longer, that woman Shi Yao would probably climb onto Han Chuan's bed!

In the office of Lu Group's president, Fu Xiaoyao was still unaware that Qi Ya was already on her way to cause trouble for her.

She was put on the sofa by Lu Hanchuan, watching him call the doctor. Her eyes flickered, "Mr. Lu, do you think we'll be misunderstood"

"What misunderstanding" Lu Hanchuan put down the phone and looked at her.

"Of course, it's our relationship," Fu Xiaoyao said, propping her hands on the armrest of the sofa. "Just now when you carried me up, a lot of people saw us. They must be guessing what our relationship is."

"Let them guess." Lu Hanchuan replied nonchalantly.

Fu Xiaoyao gave a light smile. "Mr. Lu, you're really open-minded, aren't you But what if they say I'm the little lover you found, Mr. Lu Wouldn't your image be ruined"

"No." Lu Hanchuan walked over and sat down across from her.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, “Why not.”

"My employees wouldn't spread gossip, and you're not some little thing. I'll have Qiao Mu explain later." Lu Hanchuan poured her a glass of water.

Fu Xiaoyao took it, "That's how it is, then I'll trouble President Lu, especially Mrs. Lu. Today's incident will definitely reach Mrs. Lu's ears. You must explain it to her clearly, or else she'll misunderstand again."

She said it as if casually.

Lu Hankan listened, his brows furrowed. He said in a deep voice, "You don't need to mind her."

"Why"

Lu Hanchuan's thin lips moved slightly, just about to speak, when the door of the office was knocked.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes unpleasantly, but still swallowed the words back. He turned and said, "Come in!"

A person outside the door was granted permission and gently pushed the door open to walk in. It was a doctor wearing a white coat.

"Mr. Lu," the doctor greeted Lu Hanchuan first.

Lu Hanchuan pointed at Fu Xiaoyao's ankle, "Come here, take a look."

"Yes." The doctor glanced at Fu Xiaoyao, thinking to himself, This must be the woman that everyone in the group was talking about, the one Lu always carries. She's really pretty, no wonder even Lu, who usually doesn't get close to women, has fallen for her.

It just seems like I've seen it somewhere before.

But where he had seen it before, he couldn't recall. It was just very familiar to him.

Without much thought, the doctor feared angering Lu Hánchuan and hurriedly took off the medical bag from his shoulder to examine Fù Xiǎoyáo's ankle.

After checking, the doctor nodded and turned to open the medical kit. He rummaged through it for some antiseptic iodine.

Lu Hanchuan stood aside and asked, "How badly is she twisted"

"It's pretty serious, my shoulder is dislocated and out of place, and I also strained some ligaments. I can't walk normally for at least a month, but luckily I didn't break any bones." The doctor replied after finding the iodine.

Upon hearing about her injuries, Fu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

It was Lu Hanchuan who heard the doctor say that his bones were unharmed. His expression relaxed slightly, and even his heart felt inexplicably lighter.

"Miss, I'm going to realign your bones now. Please bear with the pain." The doctor put on a pair of medical gloves and gently reminded Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded, indicating that she understood, then took a deep breath, her hands clutching the sofa cushion tightly, and looked at the doctor, signaling that she was ready and could proceed.

The doctor, having received her consent, reached out and grabbed her foot. With a swift and forceful movement, he twisted it.

Just a snap, the doctor took his hand away from Fu Xiaoyao's foot. "Done," he said.

Fu Xiaoyao's face was pale as she opened her eyes, seeming still a little disbelieving. "That's it"

"You're all good now, Miss. You can try moving around a bit." the doctor said.

Fu Xiaoyao did as she was told, and found that her feet could really move. A look of surprise appeared on her face, “It's really better, but it still hurts."

"It's quite normal, you've strained your ligament. Take half a month to recuperate and it'll be fine once your ligament recovers." The doctor sprayed Dr. Fu Xiaoyao with pain relief.

Lu Hanchuan also handed Fu Xiaoyao a tissue, "Wipe your sweat."

Fu Xiaoyao, hearing this, raised her hand and touched her forehead. Only then did she realize that her forehead was actually wet with sweat.

It must have been when I was getting my bones set, sweating from the pain.

"Thank you." Fu Xiaoyao smiled as she took the tissue.

Lu Hanchuan hummed softly, his thin lips parted slightly, his eyes gazing at her with a complex expression, "You were in pain just now, weren't you"

"Huh" Fu Xiaoyao's movements paused slightly.

Lu Hanchuan repeated, "When I was setting your bones, I saw your face turn pale from the pain. Why didn't you scream"

Fu Xiaoyao tilted her head, "Why shout"

"Shouldn't you scream if you're in pain" Lu Hanchuan said, a little puzzled.

For some reason, he felt that she was the type of person who would scream if she was in pain.

Not like that, where despite the intense pain, you grit your teeth and endure it silently.

Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head and smiled meaningfully, "It's right to shout when you're in pain, but I wouldn't do that."

"Hmm" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at her swollen ankle, her voice laced with coldness. "People who cry out when they're in pain are usually weaklings. And I am a strong person, so I don't need to cry out. Besides, this little bit of pain is nothing. I've experienced pain that was far worse than this."

"More pain" Hearing her words, Lu Hanchuan's heart suddenly clenched, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Fu Xiaoyao replied, "Yes, it was so much pain, it was like being worse off than dead. So this kind of bone setting pain compared to that kind of pain, it's simply a small witch seeing a great wizard."

"Is the kind of pain you described, feeling worse than death, related to the person you want revenge on" Lu Hanchuan asked.

When she just uttered those four words, "life is worse than death," he saw a fleeting flash of hatred in her eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao curled her lips, "That's right, it is related to my enemy, because the kind of pain I said was inflicted on me by my enemy."

Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips, remained silent, and a feeling of disgust towards the enemy she mentioned rose in his heart.

What exactly did the enemy she spoke of do to her

The doctor who was silently applying medicine to Fu Xiaoyao, noticing the sudden oppressive atmosphere, silently shrank his neck, reducing his presence.

After putting the medicine on Fu Xiaoyao, he left a few bottles of medicine she would need later and quickly made an excuse to leave.

He hadn't left long when Qiao Mu came in, his face clouded with anger. "President Lu, we found out why the elevator malfunctioned."

Lu Hanchuan's eyes sharpened. "What reason"

Fu Xiaoyao also looked at Qiao Mu, wanting to know the answer.

Jo Mo sighed, "This elevator accident was an accident, not a human error. The main reason was that the elevator's sheave rusted and hadn't been lubricated for a while, so the chain wasn't smooth when it descended."

"Rust on the pulley" Lu Hanchuan's face darkened, "How could it rust What are those maintenance guys doing"

"This is the maintenance department's fault. Because the dedicated elevator is only used by Mr. Lu, it has the lightest load and is the least likely to have an accident, so the maintenance department has been negligent and hasn't conducted regular inspections." Qiao Mu said.

Lu Hanchuan's fist clenched, "This is outrageous! Announce it, all employees of the maintenance department are fired, and notify the entire industry, no one is allowed to hire them!"

Because it's not easy to make mistakes, they become complacent and lazy. Who would dare to employ such a person wholeheartedly!

Fortunately, today it was only the chain that rusted. If the chain had broken, who would be responsible for the consequences!

And today, the people riding the elevator weren't just him. There was also Shi Yao, the beloved daughter of the Shi family. If something were to happen to her here, how would the Shi family ever let it gobeen coming to see you often these past few days asking for your forgiveness" "That's right, but I haven't agreed..." 。Lu Hanchuan put down his teacup and replied. 。The old man pinched the bridge of...
