After Yu Yu came out, he quickly drove to the hospital. He didn’t go there a lot these few days. She was alone in the hospital and he even took away her phone, so who knew how bored she was.

After he pushed open the door, she was sitting on a chair by the window, looking outside. There was a book in her hands but her eyes were not on it.

Yu Yu walked towards her and asked her with a slightly hoarse voice, “Have you eaten?”

Shu Shu nodded. He stretched out his hand to hold her hand so he could feel her temperature, but Shu Shu avoided it.

Yu Yu’s hand was frozen in mid-air.

“I’ve eaten.” Shu Shu’s voice sounded cold. Pain came because of anticipation.

Yu Yu bent down and looked at her. His eyes looked red as he hadn’t slept much for days.

Ignoring her struggles, he grabbed her hand tightly and placed it on his face.

“R’x psaau.”

“Alright.” He stood up and went to the kitchen to cook porridge. He poured a bowl for Shu Shu.

“I’ve already eaten.”

“Eat more.” Yu Yu looked at her with a serious face while still holding the bowl.

Shu Shu took it from him.

....

The next two days, he accompanied her while waiting for the court to file the case.

The second day, the news that was covered up previously suddenly shot to the headlines.

Yu Yu was stunned and called his father.

“Dad, is it you who pushed it up to the headlines?”

“Not me.” Yu Liansheng had been following their news closely as well, but he hadn’t considered doing anything with the headlines.

Yu Yu frowned, “It can’t be Meng Zhao and the guys, they’ll tell me if anything happens. It’s also impossible to be Bai Zhui, he will not act unless necessary.”

“You found Bai Zhui?”

“Yeah, it’s faster to find him.”

Yu Liansheng thought about it, then said, “Bai Zhui can’t be trusted, how did you find him.”

“I found his mistress.”

Yu Liansheng’s brows grew even tighter, “You threatened her?”

“I took a photo, or else she wouldn’t admit that she knows Bai Zhui.”

Yu Liansheng stood up. Looking down from the multi-storey high building, all the people and cars were like ants.

“You’re not wrong and you used the correct method, but you need to remember that Bai Zhui can’t be trusted, and you even obtained evidence of his inappropriate ways.”

Yu Yu frowned and thought for a while, “The case filing will be successful. Zou Jianguo will stop it but Bai Zhui will block him, so the court should not help either side. There should not be much issue with Zou Zhengyang getting caught, but Zou Jianguo or Zou family will definitely aim for revenge. If Bai Zhui wants to stay clean without any loose ends, he’ll wait for Zou family to act while he profits from doing nothing.”

“Yeah, correct, Yu Yu, once Zou Zhengyang goes into jail, you’ll be in a dangerous situation.”

The rich families were not just Zou and Bai families. He, Yu Liansheng, had been in the world of business for many years and had many complicated relationships with people in the market, so his presence will affect many people’s profit. If he wanted these people to fight Zou family openly because of him, it would be impossible because it would always be power before money.

Zou and Bai family wouldn’t capture Yu Yu openly, but it was hard to say in the dark.

“Son, I’ll get some people to protect you, don’t be too headstrong.”

“Okay, thank you dad.” Yu Yu didn’t refuse. Bai Zhui truly couldn’t be trusted.

On the night before the case was filed, Shu Shu changed her bandage.

The doctor undressed the bandage around her head. Yu Yu stood beside her and grabbed her hand by force.

Shu Shu frowned when medicine was applied on her wound. Yu Yu patted her lightly and looked at her long black-reddish wound seriously.

“Give me the mirror. I want to see.”

Yu Yu tried to force a laugh, “No need to see it, you’ll get better. Wrap it up quickly so it’ll get better faster.”

Shu Shu pouted her lips and persisted, “Let me see.”

The doctor and nurse looked awkward. Shu Shu wanted to stand up but Yu Yu pressed her down and passed her a mirror.

“It’s really not ugly, you’ll get better.”

Shu Shu looked at the mirror. On her small white face, a wound on her upper left that looked like a centipede looked extremely obvious. Her face surely didn’t look very ugly right now, but with a scar on it, it looked quite conspicuous.

She was stunned. She had always cared about her face all this time that she didn’t even allow a small pimple on her face. Now she’d got a scar on her face.

Yu Yu saw her stunned face and took the mirror back. “Wrap it up.”

The doctor quickly bandaged it up. Yu Yu held her shoulder gently.

After the doctor and nurse left, Yu Yu bent down and looked at her seriously, “Not long after this, that trash who hit you will go into jail.”

Shu Shu suddenly hugged him and cried loudly.

....

They successfully filed the case. Zou Zhengyang received the summon.

“Dad, how can this happen, how can this happen?”

“Shut up!” Zou Jianguo glared at him viciously and rubbed his brows. Because of this, he even put his face down to beg his cousin, so things shouldn’t go wrong. Was it Yu Liansheng?

He took his phone and made a phone call in his study room. After a while, he came out with a dark face.

“Jianguo, who is it?” His wife came and asked.

Zou Jianguo shook his head, “It’s not Yu Liansheng, but someone in politics. I don’t know who it is but there are too many of them who want me to get into trouble. Bai Zhui, Ye Cheng, Liu family are all possible.”

“Then what should we do? The court case is going to start, we can’t let this happen to Zhengyang!”

Zou Jianguo walked back and forth with his brows tightened. After a while, the phone rang again from the study room. He went in to take it up, and could only hear him say from afar, “Tang ge1.“

After a while, Zou Jinguo came out and told his wife, “We need to act first.”

....

“You all wait here.” Yu Yu told the few bodyguards.

The people whom Yu Liansheng found were really good. They looked very normal in casual clothing and didn’t look noticeable at all.

“Let’s wait outside the hospital room.” One of them said.

Yu Yu pondered about it, then nodded.

When they were heading up, he suddenly said, “Do you have female co-workers?”

The few of them were stunned as they heard him say, “Please contact two female bodyguards to help protect my fiancée.”

A bodyguard quickly nodded, “When should they come?”

“The earlier the better.”

“Okay, I’ll ask them to come in the afternoon tomorrow.”

Yu Yu nodded. The court will open tomorrow morning, so there shouldn’t be a problem if they come in the afternoon. Zou family shouldn’t have acted yet at that time.

When they went up, Shu Shu was doing physiotherapy exercises. A few nurses were chatting noisily with her. Shu Shu even smiled at times, she seemed to be in quite a good mood.

Yu Yu saw this and didn’t enter. He turned around and left with them. They needed to go to the court and prepare for tomorrow’s trial.

....

“Ai, Shu Shu, why is your boyfriend acting so mysterious these days?” Nurse A asked her with a smile. They all became quite close to each other after hanging out together for a few days.

Shu Shu shook her head, “I don’t know what he’s busy with.”

Nurse B smiled and said, “It must be something important, or else why would he want to leave you. You haven’t seen that heartbroken look on his face the past few days, hehe.”

Shu Shu only smiled awkwardly. Ever since she was hospitalized, Yu Yu’s performance was truly questionable but she certainly saw his true heart to her after this ordeal. But she didn’t know what he was doing as he was always not around.

Shu Shu exercised for a bit more before she went back to wash up and sleep.

In the early morning the next day, the nurse came to call her, “Shu Shu, someone’s looking for you.”

She answered her and slowly walked out.

“Shu Shu.”

Shu Shu frowned, and said the words, “Liu Xuyan.”

Liu Xuyan walked towards her. The sound of her high heels stepping on the floor sounded irritating.

With a heavy makeup on her face, she no longer had that “pitiful” look in the past. She lifted her jaw slightly as if she was still powerful even after leaving Cheng Duanyi.

“Yo, is that face of yours, destroyed?”

Shu Shu smiled scornfully, “Even if there’s a scar on my face, I still look prettier than you.”

Liu Xuyan glared at her viciously, then suddenly laughed, “Let you watch a video clip.”

Shu Shu frowned. Liu Xuyan took out her phone from her bag, then played it.

It was a fight.

“Doesn’t it look familiar?”

There were some voices in the video. Shu Shu’s eyes widened and grabbed it from her.

“Do you really think there’s no evidence, there’s a video that had recorded it all.”

“Pui! Don’t you dare to cheat me, all the CCTVs have been abolished, even if there are still some, you won’t be able to do anything to me.”

The familiar voices, and getting beaten, this was Yu Yu.

Shu Shu glared at her, “What happened?”

“Yo, you don’t know? This issue is heated up so much and the whole internet knows, but you actually don’t know.” Liu Xuyan smiled sarcastically, then said, “The one your boyfriend is up against is Zou Zhengyang, Zou..”

Liu Xuyan told her all about Zou family’s position, “Your boyfriend doesn’t know his own worth and dares to go against Zou family. I’m afraid he might not gain anything and give up his own life instead.”

“Oh yeah” Liu Xuyan’s face inched closer, “That day when you were hit, I’m in the car.”

Shu Shu gritted her teeth. Her eyes narrowed and she gave her a slap on her face. The nurses were standing far away and could only see what was happening but not hear anything. Now that they saw Shu Shu had acted, they went closer one by one. Since Shu Shu was still a patient and she couldn’t move very well, what if she got bullied instead?

“What’s happening?” Some nurses walked towards them.

Shu Shu took in a deep breath, “This person’s boyfriend is the perpetrator, now she’s come to threaten me.”

Their eyes bulged, there was still someone so shameless?

Nurse A took out her phone to take photos, while Nurse B said, “Huh, you truly opened up my eyes. Miss, if you have the time to mess with a patient, why don’t you get ready. A hit-and-run, then threatening the victim, I’m afraid your boyfriend will have to serve a few years in jail.”

Liu Xuyan stomped her feet angrily when she saw people taking photos. She looked at Shu Shu, then said in a low voice, “The trail starts at nine o’ clock, your man won’t win today, and won’t return peacefully either.”

She then turned around and left arrogantly. With her back towards her, a smile appeared on her face, Shu Shu, I’m finally going to win against you.

All her hatred and resentment were all gone at this moment. What’s left was only the concern for Yu Yu. Just like what she said, with Zou family’s position, it was as easy as squeezing an ant to death if they wanted to make a small star like Yu Yu dead.

Shu Shu borrowed the nurse’s phone and went on the internet. It was truly heated up, her name didn’t come up but it appeared as “Yu Yu’s girlfriend”. She finally knew why Yu Yu took away her phone. He didn’t want her to see all of this happening on the internet.

Shu Shu borrowed a phone to log in weibo and sent a message to Yu Yu, but he never replied. Having no choice, she asked the nurse to check Yu Yu’s phone number and gave him a call.

Yu Yu saw that it was the hospital’s number and quickly answered, “What happened? What happened with Shu Shu?”

“I’m okay, but how about you, is it fun to hide this from me?”

“Shu Shu....”

“You come back, let’s drop the case. Da Yu, we surrender.”

Yu Yu knew that she must have found out about something else. She had such a stubborn personality, so she must have known that the perpetrator had big power to suggest giving up the case and didn’t want him to get into trouble.

He felt touched in his heart, but this could not affect his desire to get revenge for her.

“It’s nothing, don’t guess blindly. We can surely make him go into jail today.”

“Da Yu.”

“Shu Shu.”

Yu Yu’s attitude was so firm and she’d never seen him like this before. Shu Shu was silent for a while before she said, “I’m going too.”

If anything happens, we will shoulder it together.

After some thoughts, Yu Yu answered, “I’ll come and fetch you.”

He hung up. There was still around an hour before the trial started. Yu Yu informed his lawyer before he got ready to go fetch Shu Shu.

“Mr. Yu, is it convenient for us to talk?”

Zou Jianguo came over. Yu Yu planned to ignore him at first, but then he heard him say, “I’m not asking you to let my son off, but there are some things that I have to say. I know your father Yu Liansheng and of course I won’t hurt him, but my wife’s father is someone in charge of the tax department. If you don’t speak to me now, perhaps he’ll frequently go and talk to your family....”

Yu Yu stood still. Although he knew Yu Liansheng wouldn’t be threatened by them, he still wanted to listen and see what else he could say. He told a bodyguard, “Go and fetch Shu Shu.”

He then gave her a phone call to let her know.

He then looked towards Zou Jianguo.

Shu Shu walked outside. The nurse waited with her, and after a while, a man in black formal clothes came to her.

“Are you Miss Shu? Mr. Yu asked me to fetch you.” Shu Shu nodded and waved at the nurse before she went into the car.

The car went further away from the hospital. Shu Shu asked him, “How are Yu Yu’s preparations going?”

The man nodded, “Quite okay, Mr. Yu has made enough preparations.”

Shu Shu nodded and leaned backwards. She suddenly frowned and glanced at the man’s back, then looked out of the window.

“Who are you? This is not the way towards the court!”
