Pursuit

  When the cruel truth was presented before her eyes, her heart suddenly felt empty and her tears dried up instantly. Now she couldn't cry even if she wanted to, all that was left was her hand clutching the contract trembling violently, and her pale face devoid of any blood color.

  At this time, it wasn't just her who was in pain. Lu Zhou's heart was also riddled with wounds. Her rejection and disgust were so obvious, trampling on his proud self-esteem. As the president of the Lu Group, he had always been the one to give others a cold shoulder. Who dared to say no to him?

  He took a deep breath and suppressed the sour emotions in his heart, finally switching to a gentle tone.

  "Pack up and go to the hospital to see your mom in a little while!"

  "My mom? Hospital?"

  Upon hearing these two words, she finally came back to her senses. After reacting, her face suddenly changed and she hastily asked:

  "What's wrong with my mom?"

  "Last night she somehow heard that your dad is going to jail and fainted. She's now at the city central hospital!"

  He looked at her rare panic and unease in front of him, the depression in his heart dissipated a little, at least this time she didn't turn a cold eye to him with full defense.

  "What?"

  She suddenly became anxious, jumped down from the bed, rummaged through her clothes and said discontentedly.

  "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

  He reached out and grabbed her, his voice tinged with anger.

  "At that time you were drunk! If it wasn't for my people keeping an eye on your mom, she would have probably died already, do you know that?!"

  Last night, he drove her home from the bar, but she threw up all over him and the car. He had wanted to take her home so her mom wouldn't worry, but halfway there, he received a call from his subordinate saying that her mom had fainted and was being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

  He simply took her to his own place, anyway, she was already his person, living together was a matter of time. After settling her down, he rushed to the hospital overnight and arranged for the best doctor in the city to see her mother. In fact, asthma is not a fatal disease, as long as you take good care of it, treat it well, and maintain a good mood, there will be no life-threatening danger.

  But with her economic ability and her way of handling things, it will only make her mother's situation more and more dangerous. That damn woman, why doesn't she think about relying on him for once?

  She listened to his words and was slightly stunned, it was clear that she did not expect him to make people pay attention to her mother. Later, she forced herself to move her lips and said two words.

  "Thank you!"

  "Xu Liu'ou, is this what you call pursuing freedom and happiness?"

  Her aloofness made him furious, and he flung away the arm that was holding hers, coldly scolding her.

  "The freedom and happiness you've been pursuing are the result of three years of hard work, it's not having enough money to treat your mom's illness in time, it's not being able to rescue your dad when he's in trouble."

  She was so interrogated by him that she couldn't say a word, and could only bite her lip and turn her head away. Yes, he was right, three years had passed and she hadn't made any progress, thinking that after graduation she would find a job to take good care of her mother, but who would have thought that so many things happened before she even graduated.
