The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

She wiped her tears away.

Grasping Yan Lu’s hand, she looked up again with a resolute expression, “Xiaolu, let’s go.”

“Ding”

The elevator stopped on their floor.

Doors slowly opened.

Zhang’s mother entered first with Yan Lu, while Bai Lian was the last to get in, only glancing back at the elevator’s entrance. She gazed faintly at the sign for the ICU—

SICU.

Surgical Intensive Care Unit.

The same ICU where Shen Qing had been admitted the previous time.

Chairman Liu watched the elevator doors close and turned his head, “What did the court and Zhao Jingzhou say?”

“Zhao Lu is already preparing to come to Xiangcheng. The court has commenced the trial, and the subpoenas will be in their hands by tomorrow.” The administrative assistant had arranged everything properly, “That Zhang Shize is shrewd, reporting himself to the police immediately, but for intentional assault cases, he’s looking at at least seven years of imprisonment.”

Thinking he could escape by turning himself in at the police station.

But Chairman Liu wasn’t a pushover.

Even if Zhang Shize engaged Zhao Jingzhou, he was still looking at a minimum of seven years’ imprisonment.

“Beep”

The ICU machine suddenly flashed wildly.

The doctor on duty and nurses quickly ran over, “Take him to the emergency room first!”

“What about President Xu?” Chairman Liu’s complexion changed, not worried about Zhang Shize’s case, but now concerned only for Liu Xinming’s life!

The administrative assistant immediately made a call to Xu En, “Please wait a moment!”

At Xu En’s end.

The assistant helped look into Yan Lu’s affairs and heard some rumors, he was completely flustered, and as he traced the matter between Yan Lu and Zhang Shize, cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Despite Xu En being in the middle of an online meeting, the assistant knocked on the door, “President Xu, this is urgent, I must speak with you right away.”

Xu En raised his hand, pausing the meeting and muted the microphone.

He gestured for the assistant to speak.

“This matter involving Chairman Liu, has a lot to do with Yan Lu and Miss Bai. Yan Lu’s agent asked me for Chairman Liu’s number. The entertainment circle is shunning Yan Lu, and the exact details are still unknown,” the assistant knew the seriousness of the situation, “The assault on Chairman Liu is no small matter, and Miss Bai is definitely investigating, I think you should be cautious in how you handle this.”

The assistant started looking into Yan Lu’s current situation as soon as he learned that Bai Lian was looking into her whereabouts.

News from the entertainment circle always spreads quickly, and word of Chairman Liu’s intent to blacklist her had traveled fast.

Xu En’s mind was in disarray, and within a few seconds, he made a decision, “First, sever cooperation with the Liu Family. As for Alian, I will ask around. Also, there’s no rush to contact Dr. Lance.”

Around eight in the evening.

Zhang’s mother and Yan Lu supported each other as they walked ahead, the streetlights elongating their shadows.

Bai Lian looked down slightly, observing the two silhouettes.

Manager Xin carefully extended her hand, offering Bai Lian her school uniform jacket.

“Thank you,” Bai Lian reached out to take it, but didn’t put it on, simply walking slowly down the stairs, her brows and eyes drawn together, her tone calm, “So why did Zhang Shize hit him?”

“I don’t know yet.” Manager Xin was somewhat coming to her senses, replying from behind Bai Lian, her gaze fixed on Yan Lu.

It was related to Yan Lu, but Yan Lu had been silent all this while.

Bai Lian followed her gaze,

Nodded her head, her tone even, “Okay.”

Manager Xin was more than a decade older than Bai Lian and should have seen her as just a child, yet standing next to Bai Lian, she felt an inexplicable pressure.

But the other party was polite in her speech and actions.

Not far from the hospital, a black business van parked steadily by the roadside.

The passenger window was half open.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, Manager Xin had no trouble recognizing that this not-too-luxurious business van was somewhat different from those she was familiar with.

She was quite surprised. This girl was Zhang’s younger brother’s classmate?

This kind of vehicle wouldn’t attract much attention in Beicheng, but it was conspicuous in Xiangcheng. She hadn’t expected Zhang Shize to have such well-to-do classmates, and it seemed that she got along quite well with Zhang Shize.

The rear car door opened.

A chill poured out.

A kid resembling a jade ice sculpture sat in the back, cradling a Chinese cabbage, and raised his head belatedly at the sound, then rested his chin on a pillow.

“Get in the car first.” Bai Lian instructed Zhang’s mother, Yan Lu, and the others to get into the vehicle.

After Manager Xin got in, she sat down somewhat awkwardly.

She just couldn’t ignore the cold air coming from the driver’s seat, and couldn’t help but look over.

All she could see was the back of a head, and the outline of a chiseled profile, with pale slender fingers resting on the steering wheel, and a Bluetooth earpiece in his right ear, speaking to someone.
