The President Made Me Trend

Ever since Mother Lu underwent surgery, Lu Yucheng had been staying at the hospital, only feeling slightly relieved when she finally woke up. Upon regaining consciousness, the first thing Mother Lu asked was whether Father Lu was still upset with Lu Yucheng.

For a moment, Lu Yucheng didn’t know how to respond. He furrowed his brow and comforted her, “Mom, don’t worry about it. Focus on recovering. I remember you always disliked the smell of disinfectant in hospitals, didn’t you?”

“Sigh, Yucheng, I want you to remember that no matter what happens in the future, he is still your father, the one who raised you. So, don’t hold a grudge against him, especially since he entrusted you with the Lu family business, okay?” Mother Lu understood both Father Lu and Lu Yucheng’s temperaments, knowing they were both notoriously stubborn. It was precisely because of this that she feared a complete fallout between father and son.

“I understand, Mom,” Lu Yucheng replied dismissively. If it weren’t for Lu Xuan’s involvement, Lu Yucheng would have wanted to maintain family harmony. He was actually very filial, even towards the strong-willed Father Lu. However, Father Lu’s current favoritism towards Lu Xuan and rejection of Mo Qinghuan was something he couldn’t tolerate.

While browsing his phone, Lu Yucheng stumbled upon news about Mo Qinghuan from the past few days. His brow furrowed as he read that Mo Qinghuan had fainted and been rushed to the hospital, and during her recovery, she had narrowly escaped a poisoning attempt.

Lu Yucheng’s heart felt like it was suspended in mid-air. He told Mother Lu, “Mom, I have something urgent to attend to. If you need anything, just ring for the nurse, okay?”

“Yucheng, I’m fine. Go take care of your business,” Mother Lu said. As Lu Yucheng was about to leave the ward, she suddenly spoke again, “By the way, how is Qinghuan’s scandal being handled?”

“I’m on my way to see Qinghuan now. Her phone hasn’t been reachable. Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll make sure Qinghuan is safe and sound and bring her to you,” he reassured her, feeling anxious. How could he, as her husband, not have known about the dangerous situation Mo Qinghuan was in? Poisoning? Just the thought of the word ‘poison’ made his heart tremble.

He couldn’t bear to imagine what would happen if the poisoning attempt had succeeded and Mo Qinghuan had died. He would probably go mad, and even tearing the culprit apart wouldn’t be enough to express the pain of losing Mo Qinghuan.

After making some calls, he found out Mo Qinghuan hadn’t returned to the Lu family home. So, he drove to the talent agency to find her. As a celebrity, she rarely had the chance to be out in public. If she wasn’t resting at home, she must be at the agency.

However, when Lu Yucheng arrived at the agency, the entrance was already surrounded by Mo Qinghuan’s fans. They were demanding an explanation from the agency about how such a security lapse could have allowed the terrifying poisoning incident to occur.

Parking his car at the entrance, Lu Yucheng frowned at the fans’ frenzy, but it confirmed the significant impact of the poisoning incident. He took out his phone and called Huo-Jie, instructing, “I’m downstairs at the agency. Is Qinghuan inside?”

“Yes, Mr. Lu, Qinghuan is indeed with us,” Huo-Jie replied, glancing at Mo Qinghuan and noticing her pale complexion. She couldn’t help but wonder if there was trouble brewing between the couple.

Upon hearing from Huo-Jie that Mo Qinghuan was indeed at the company, Lu Yucheng finally felt a bit relieved. He instructed, “Alright, please send someone to bring me in. The entrance is already surrounded by Qinghuan’s fans, and I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to get inside.”

“Understood, Mr. Lu. I’ll arrange that right away.” After hanging up, Huo-Jie arranged for Xiaoxue to escort Lu Yucheng through the back entrance. She then turned to Mo Qinghuan, who already looked shaken and now seemed even more distressed, and asked curiously, “Qinghuan, did you have a fight with Mr. Lu? That doesn’t seem right. You two have always had a good relationship. Even if there were minor disagreements, it wouldn’t lead to Mr. Lu searching for you all over the place, would it?”

“He truly doesn’t know about me leaving.” A man who, because of her scandal, didn’t even want to stay at home, how could he be curious about where she went? But Mo Qinghuan kept these thoughts to herself; the conflict with Lu Yucheng was no longer important. The main issue was that someone actually wanted her dead. Who could be so heartless?

Meanwhile, in front of the television, Shen Meng had just taken a shower to wash away the stench of last night’s alcohol. Upon hearing that Mo Qinghuan had been poisoned at the hospital and nearly killed, her face changed dramatically.

She had only bribed reporters to stake out the hospital to capture photos of Liang Yi visiting, aiming to confirm their affair with explosive news. She hadn’t instructed anyone to poison!

Shen Meng began to feel restless, biting her lip, fearing that the investigation might lead back to her. After all, the news reported that the incident had a huge impact and the police were already involved. Her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the sofa, biting her fingernails, wondering how she could completely sever ties with this incident.

However, she then thought, the police were only investigating the real culprit behind the poisoning, not her bribing reporters to stay at the hospital. Even if they found out later, she could easily claim she was being framed and had nothing to do with it!

Thinking this, Shen Meng smiled happily, looking at Mo Qinghuan’s pale face on the news, she scoffed, “Mo Qinghuan, Mo Qinghuan, turns out there’s someone else in this world who hates you as much as I do? Serves you right. I really hope those toxic compounds find their way into your stomach and you disappear from this world. Then my greatest wish would be fulfilled.”

She always blamed her current predicament on Mo Qinghuan, believing that if Mo Qinghuan hadn’t returned from America and competed for the lead role, she would have been basking in glory instead of having to navigate various drinking parties and being taken advantage of by sleazy men.

So when she heard that Mo Qinghuan hadn’t been poisoned, she was filled with disappointment and anger, wishing there weren’t so many people around Mo Qinghuan to protect her. Then Mo Qinghuan would surely be doomed, right?

Watching the TV, Shen Meng continued to mutter to herself, “Mo Qinghuan, you got lucky this time. Just wait and see, one day I’ll make your situation worse than mine, and then you’ll understand what it’s like to be in unbearable pain!”

Lu Yucheng, led by Xiaoxue, arrived at Huo-Jie’s office and indeed found Mo Qinghuan inside, looking frightened. In his memory, Mo Qinghuan had always been independent and confident, capable of handling and resolving any situation. But this poisoning incident must have truly scared her, making her so tense.

Feeling heartbroken, he stepped forward and wrapped Mo Qinghuan in his arms possessively. This scene filled Huo-Jie and Xiaoxue with envy; perhaps no matter how deep the misunderstanding between a couple, it could be resolved with a simple embrace.
