Chapter Ninety - Cherished Love is Hard to Abandon

  ps：

  Everyone has a small place in their heart, an unforgettable him/her that cannot be mentioned, can only be reminisced about in the deep of night...

  "Stop right there!" Lu Xiansheng shouted loudly, but Li Lao'er completely ignored him and moved swiftly like the wind.

  I must have owed her a lot of debts in my previous life and wasn't a good person.

  Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath and quickly caught up with her, grabbing hold of her.

  Dragged away with a stumble, Li Luo'er turned her head around, a pair of hazy and misty eyes welled up with tears.

  Just as he was about to lose his temper, Lu Xiangsheng saw her like this and stretched out his sturdy arm, tightly embracing her into his arms.

  Stroking her thick black hair behind her back, Lu Xiangsheng rested his chin on the top of her head and said softly, "Foolish girl, what are you running for?"

  "I thought I could face it, but as soon as I saw her, I felt like I wasn't even qualified...". The words weren't even out yet, but tears were already streaming down.

  Li Luo tightly pressed her face against his chest, taking deep breaths of the scent on him.

  Like a child, afraid of losing their most beloved toy gift.

  "Idiot!" Lu Xiang Sheng indulgently kissed her hairline, secretly delighted in his heart.

  This girl, although her heart is wavering, has already understood herself.

  "Ah..." He took a sharp breath in, and only then did Lu Xuan Sheng feel the pain.

  Li Luo'er wiped away her tears and looked up at his already pale lips, only then did she feel something was off about him.

  One lowered head, one cry of surprise, turned back to look, and found that all along the way were deep red bloodstains.

  "I don't know who's stupid, why are you barefoot?!" Li Luo'er was shocked.

  "For you!" His body trembled slightly, but he still held her tightly.

  "Don't move, I'll help you back to rest, and have them bandage you up!" Li Lu'er supported him, wanting to head back.

  Lu Xuan Sheng hooked his lips with a smile, "Go to your place."

  "Are you afraid of embarrassing yourself? Or are you afraid that I'll be embarrassed? Or is it that you're afraid..."

  Li Luo hadn't finished speaking yet, but was cut off by those two icy lips.

  In public, such a clingy display is really ruining the atmosphere!

  Li Luo gently pushed him away, and he didn't refuse either.

  His pale lips regained some color, Lu Xiangsheng endured the pain, limping his legs, and returned to the house with Li Lu'er.

  The air in the room was tense and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

  Chen Zhiquan sat on the bed with Zhuo Ying still sniffling on his lap.

  A Hua stood by, his expression still serious, but with occasional flashes of worry in his eyes.

  Li Chao was hunched over the round table, constantly drinking water with a gurgling sound.

  "Ahua, would you mind finding a doctor?" Lier said softly, breaking the discord in the room.

  Ah Hua swept a glance at Lu Xiansheng and Li Lao'er, then turned around and rushed out.

  Li Chao furrowed his brow and moved a red wooden chair in front of Lu Xiangsheng, stopping it there. "Brother Xiangsheng, do you want to sit here or over there?" He raised his chin, nodding towards the direction of the bed.

  "That's it!" Lu Xian Sheng sat down immediately, but didn't let go of Li Luo'er's hand.

  Chen Zhiquan's face suddenly fell, "What's going on?"

  "Are you blind?" Lù Xiǎng Shèng said coldly. Zhì Quán was stunned and swallowed back the rest of his words.

  Zhuo Ying lay on the bed, turning her head to look at Lu Xian Sheng and Li Luo Er's tightly clasped hands, then stretched out her hand with a "whoosh" sound and pulled the bed curtains shut.

  Out of sight, out of mind!

  Pouting with puffed up cheeks, tears streaming down non-stop.

  Small delicate hands clenched into fists and stuffed into mouth. Hoping they wouldn't see her ugly appearance.

  "Awesome brother! You've changed! You're not Ying'er's awesome brother anymore...... Never again...... Waaahhhhhh......"

  Listening to the uncontrollable sobbing sounds, Chen Zhiquan looked left and right, finally deciding to sit at the door...

  "Zhiquan, what are you doing sitting there? Go out and take a walk!" Li Chao shouted at him.

  After spending a long time with Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan, I have come to understand many things.

  "Let's go!" Chen Zhiquan patted his buttocks and followed Li Chao to the front yard.

  A classical courtyard, but with a strong Arabic flavor.

  Luxurious and elegant. Romantic and pastoral.

  This is simply heaven!

  Walking to a fountain, Chen Zhiquan wiped off the dust on the marble slab and sat down directly.

  Li Chao sat next to him, watching the crowd rushing by, his initial excitement gone.

  "What do you think of your sister and the monster?" Chen Zhiquan asked directly.

  Having love is just not knowing if there's fate! Lui Chao replied straightforwardly.

  "What about Zhuo Ying?" As soon as Chen Zhiquan finished saying this sentence, he felt a chill on his back and his spine turned cold.

  "So lovely, so innocent, so pure... and so beautiful!" Lei Chao said carelessly, recalling the stunning impression he had when he first saw Zhuo Ying, truly different from all the girls he had known before.

  That kind of temperament that comes from within, noble and unquestionable.

  Chen Zhiquan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he grabbed Li Chao's arm with one hand, "Brother! You're really my good brother!"

  Li Chao heard the vague and uncertain news, staring at Chen Zhiquan's change, suddenly feeling that nothing good would happen. "Brother Zhiquan, I have something to do, I'll go first, wait a while..."

  "Ah, you think you can escape! Reacting so quickly!" Chen Zhiquan dragged Lei Chao down, forcibly pinning him to the ground.

  Li Chao's face was flattering, "Zhi Quan brother, can't even go to the bathroom?"

  "Damn it!" Chen Zhiquan grabbed Li Chao with one hand, "Can't you talk about something serious for once?"

  "Go on... nothing good is going to come out of this..." Li Chao sat down with a scowl, waiting anxiously for Chen Zhiquan to speak.

  "You're going to hook up with Young Princess as your girlfriend!" Chen Zhiquan's face was full of expectation.

  "My god... Zhi Quan ge... aren't you being too sinister? You can go if you want to... I'm not going no matter what... even if I were beaten to death, I still wouldn't go..." Li Chao said with a stammer, his voice carrying some subtle changes.

  "You're such a fool, how can you not want the benefits that are being handed to you on a silver platter? Are you stupid or something?" Chen Zhiquan continued to persuade him with a bitter tone, "You have to understand that Ying'er is the only child of the Zhuo Corporation, this status! This family background! If you can be with her... it's equivalent to struggling 200 years less! Good fortune will extend to your children and grandchildren, isn't that great?"

  Li Chao smiled bitterly and scratched his head, "If he doesn't struggle for 200 years, is he still a man?"

  "How can it be! You're such a stubborn kid, how can you be so unreasonable?" Chen Zhiquan said with an air of seniority, analyzing the situation.

  "Zhiquan, you want to clear the way for Xuansheng's romantic relationships with good intentions, but you can't push me out as a shield! I'm not a god, in my heart... there's only Yiyun!"

  When Li Chao mentions Yun's name, a glimmer of light flashes in his eyes, it is happiness, it is hope, it is persistence.

  Looking at Li Chao's serious expression, Chen Zhiquan also didn't dare say anything more.

  This child is much younger than himself, but his heart is so determined.

  Chen Zhiquan let out a deep breath and rubbed his forehead, sitting by the fountain in distress.

  Remembering the expectation and joy when Ying'er appeared at Zizhu Mountain Villa with big and small bags, I suddenly felt that many things were beyond my control.

  "Isn't Zhuo Ying going to school? It's a bit early to talk about National Day holidays, isn't it?" Lei Chao asked, wondering if children from wealthy families didn't have to go to school.

  "Up, that's because her dad couldn't outdo her, so he agreed to let her come here. After National Day, she can take a break...” Chen Zhiquan spoke with careful tone and weight, without mentioning Zhuo Ying's dependence on Lu Xiansheng.

  "Oh." Lei Chao responded thoughtfully, and since he didn't want to say anything more, she didn't ask again.

  "Go back and see how Lu Xiansheng's foot is!" Chen Zhiquan patted Li Chao's shoulder, his tone carrying fatigue.

  Li Chao didn't say anything and just followed behind him.

  Returning to the other courtyard, unexpectedly Zhuo Ying was still snuggled up in bed. Completely ignoring that the room had already been turned upside down.

  "Stop the bleeding quickly and give me gauze."

  "Luckily it's not a metal item, otherwise we would have had to send it all back to the city."

  "It's a bit infected, but taking some anti-inflammatory medicine will be fine."

  "Let's give some intravenous drips first and replenish some physiological saline."

  "Is there anywhere else you're uncomfortable?"

  Lu Xiansheng was surrounded by a group of white-robed doctors. They were chattering noisily with seven mouths and eight tongues.

  Li Luo'er stood on one side, quietly watching Lu Xuan Sheng.

  "Alright. That's enough. Ah Hua... have them leave." Lu Xian Sheng seemed a bit impatient, waving his large hand to signal Ah Hua to take them away.

  A Hua led the way, holding some golden leaves to shoo them away.

  "Your foot is crippled, I don't think there's anything fun about this, let's go home." Chen Zhiquan said with a sneer, looking at Lu Xiansheng's foot.

  Lu Xuan Sheng let out a cold hum and suddenly stood up, straightening his body. "Do you believe I'll cripple you first?"

  "Ah! Monster!" Chen Zhiquan shouted as he leapt backward in a single bound.

  "Huh, do you know what this is?" Lu Xiansheng looked at Chen Zhiquan with a pleased expression.

  "A centipede dies but does not stiffen!" Chen Zhiquan said with a laugh, "Haha... could it be that a camel that starves to death is bigger than a horse?"

  Lu Xuan Sheng's face had more and more black lines, but after glancing at his own bed, he suddenly changed color and limped to the bedside.

  Li Luo'er had originally wanted to support him, but it seemed like she understood something, and quietly retreated.

  She pulled open the curtains and gently patted the small body curled up on the bed.

  "Ying'er?" Lu Xuan Sheng softly called out to her.

  Zhuo Ying reluctantly opened her eyes and turned over, turning her back on him.

  Lu Xiangsheng chuckled and continued to pat her, "Alright, don't be angry anymore, look at that little face all tear-stained! Not pretty anymore!" It was as if he was coaxing a child, or rather, in Lu Xiangsheng's or Chen Zhiquan's heart, she had always been a child.

  Zhuo Ying finally sat up under Lu Xian Sheng's gentle and soft words.

  A crumpled dress and a small open shirt with creases all over the place, this is clearly not her usual style.

  It seems this kid has been hurt a lot, at least in her own heart.

  "Xuan Sheng brother, don't be infatuated anymore... you don't like Ying Er at all... that sister, what's so good about her? Where can she compare to Ying Er?"

  Zhuo Ying cried and said, her small hands clenched tightly, the palms were scratched by fingernails until they hurt.

  Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I like you, treating you as a younger sister, but she is different, you are still young... don't understand these things."

  "You're cheating! When Zixia sister left at first, you said I was still young, but now you say I'm still young..."

  Zhuo Ying hadn't finished speaking when she saw Lu Xuan Sheng's face change color.

  Without waiting for Zhuo Ying's explanation, Lu Xian Sheng suppressed his anger and left the small hut.

  Chen Zhiquan smiled wryly as he watched his back, shrugging his shoulders.

  "It seems that she who has long gone is still his fatal pain..."
