Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 411 - 424: She Wore the Wrong Shoes

At that time, Wei Linnan’s cold inorganic eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled silently: "Of course. I guarantee that no matter how much you suffer because of this experiment, it will not affect any of your current responsibilities, not now and not in the future. You can continue to take on your responsibilities for the family and for your wife like now, and you can have healthy children with her."

Lu Shifeng was not worried that he would break his promise. In the ancient history of the Lu Family, there were records of dealings with this mysterious underground base, and it was said that this base always kept its promises.

So, Lu Shifeng agreed to his terms, using himself as a test subject, in exchange for Su Xingyu’s facial restoration.

However, he could no longer ask Wei Linnan to treat Jue unless he allowed the entire Lu Family to become the experimental field for that eerie base for generations to come.

He could not bring the Lu Family to such a situation for the sake of a sick child.

Even if that child is his beloved biological son, he cannot.

Lu Shifeng watched the sleeping Jue in the car, his heart aching faintly, he owed this child too much in this life.

With such a guilty mind, he remained silent for the rest of the journey, accompanying the child and Su Xingyu to the hospital.

The Bentley came to a stop.

He carried the child into the operating room.

The child was already asleep, and the surgeon in green surgical attire asked, "Mr. Lu, do you want to wake him up?"

Lu Shifeng took a deep look at the child, his voice low: "Let him sleep, just give him the anesthesia." Such a big surgery, even adults would be afraid, let alone Jue, such a fragile child? Even though Jue was autistic and might not know what was happening, he did not want to scare the child.

Let Jue be directly anesthetized, so that when he wakes up, he will have a healthy heart, unknowingly.

The surgeon nodded, called over the anesthetist, and politely asked Lu Shifeng and Su Xingyu to leave, closing the operating room door.

Su Xingyu and Lu Shifeng retreated outside the operating room to wait.

The light was on in the corridor, and it was very quiet.

Lu Shifeng said to Su Xingyu, "The child will be fine."

Su Xingyu nodded, but her expression was still filled with deep, unshakeable worry.

Faintly, from a room not far down the corridor, a woman’s noisy voice echoed.

Su Xingyu felt a bit agitated and distracted, and to divert her attention, she asked, "What’s going on?"

Lu Shifeng glanced over there: "It’s Zhuang Heng who arrived and is being kept in that room."

Only then did Su Xingyu remember what Lu Shifeng had mentioned in the car, that she had asked him to bring Zhuang Heng, and he decided to keep her in a room, away from others.

However, the soundproofing in that room was too poor.

"Jue is already like that, and she still has the mind to make such a fuss?" Su Xingyu, already tense and uneasy, heard Zhuang Heng’s voice and felt even more agitated. It was faintly Zhuang Heng demanding to be let out, saying things like wanting to see the child and badmouthing Su Xingyu. Su Xingyu got angry and couldn’t help but speak up.

Lu Shifeng instructed the driver who was with them: "Go and tell Zhuang Heng that if she makes more noise, I’ll have her sent back."

The driver went.

Su Xingyu had expected that this would quiet down Zhuang Heng, but instead, Zhuang Heng raised her voice even more, loud and clear through the corridor: "Su Xingyu! I know you’re out there! What tricks did you use to bewilder Shifeng, you won’t die a decent death! If anything happens to Jue, I will never forgive you! If Jue dies on the operating table, I’ll come back as a ghost to haunt you!"

Su Xingyu’s face changed immediately.

Zhuang Heng could insult her all she wanted, but with Jue still in the operating room, how could she curse Jue to die on the table!

She turned and quickly walked towards the room where Zhuang Heng was being held.

Lu Shifeng’s face was also dark, quickly following suit.

He had called Zhuang Heng, partly due to Su Xingyu’s request and partly because Zhuang Heng was Jue’s biological mother. But what kind of mother curses her child to die on the operating table?

This Zhuang Heng really had crossed the line!

They quickly arrived at the door of the room where Zhuang Heng was held.

"Open the door," Su Xingyu said coldly to the guard at the door.

The guard looked to Lu Shifeng for confirmation.

Lu Shifeng nodded grimly.

Thus, the guard opened the door for Su Xingyu.

Zhuang Heng, who had been shouting and swearing inside the room, wore an elaborately tailored low V-neck dress, with a coquettish cashmere coat and a dazzling platinum and diamond necklace, looking charming. When she saw the door open, she glared at Su Xingyu outside and was about to push her, but Lu Shifeng behind Su Xingyu grabbed her wrist.

Zhuang Heng yelped in pain, tears welling up: "Shifeng!"

Her voice was full of grievance and seduction, undulating in tone.

Lu Shifeng frowned at Zhuang Heng’s outfit, where her delicate snowy skin peeked through the low V-neck dress, but his focus was—Jue was like that, yet this woman still found time to dress up and go out?

In contrast, Su Xingyu was simply wearing a bathrobe, hurriedly mismatched slippers with one bunny head and one bear head, looking woefully pitiful.

Zhuang Heng had initially intended to complain to him, these days Lu Shifeng had been deliberately avoiding her, and the times she got to see him were countable. Anxious in her heart, she had no choice but to gamble by dressing up at night to attract him, hoping he would be swayed by her beauty.

But seeing Lu Shifeng’s implicit disdainful gaze, in contrast to his casual shirt and Su Xingyu’s disheveled state, she realized how out of place she was.

Su Xingyu was indeed quite a sight, not only wearing a bathrobe, with a coat draped over and mismatched slippers, but also wearing a mask. The mask was one of those usually kept in Lu Shifeng’s Bentley. Although her face had been treated recently, Lu Shifeng instructed her to take good care, avoiding sunlight in the short term, so she still wore a mask when going out. Even if it was night now, with her mind fully on Jue, she did not even notice herself, instinctively putting on the mask when she got out of the car, thinking nothing amiss.

But in Zhuang Heng’s eyes, it seemed to be because Su Xingyu was disfigured and didn’t care about her appearance. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Damn it, what qualifications does a disfigured ugly woman have to compare with her!

Yet no matter how unwilling her heart was, Zhuang Heng had to calm down and explain the reason for her ornate attire, "I... I haven’t been feeling at peace these nights, maybe because Jue and I are connected. I haven’t been sleeping well at all. I hadn’t gone to sleep yet when I received a call from the butler—I attended an event this evening and didn’t even get to change my clothes..."
