Chapter 4: Distorting the Truth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sun Xiao’s face turned pale. She indeed did not have any evidence. If she really pursued the matter…

A cold look flashed across Lu Zhen’s eyes. As expected of someone who used to be in the entertainment industry. She wanted to distort the truth with just a few words. Who gave Wu Yu the confidence to attack her people?

“Mom, the first thing you expressed concern about when you come to the ward is not me, who almost died, but Rou Rou’s reputation?” Lu Zhen said weakly and changed the topic.

When life and reputation were compared, it was up to oneself to decide which was more important.

“No, Zhenzhen, how can Mommy not care about you?! I only asked about it first since I heard someone slandering your sister.”

“Mommy, I said it. Before I woke up, I felt that someone wanted to suffocate me. When I heard Sun Xiao and Xiaorou arguing, I knew that that person was Xiaorou.”

Lu Zhen stared straight at Wu Yu and sneered. Wu Yu had always liked to put on an act. She would see how she would deal with it now. She knew that she could not kill Lu Rou this time, but it was good to let her feel the pain of being slandered.

Wu Yu was shocked by Lu Zhen’s cold gaze. She suppressed her palpitations and said, “Zhenzhen, there must be a misunderstanding.”

“Mom, I just wanted to wipe my sister’s face. How could Sister misunderstand me?! Sister actually said that I wanted to kill her. I’m so close to her. Why would I want to kill her?”

“That’s right! Zhenzhen, you’ve always been on good terms with Xiaorou. How could she treat you like this?”

This mother-daughter pair echoed each other, making some people who were not Lu Zhen’s fans confused.

“So, Mom, do you trust Lu Rou more?”

Following the mother and daughter’s words, Lu Zhen’s expression turned pale, and her eyes were filled with undisguised despair.

Wu Yu’s sharp eyes caught a glimpse of someone secretly taking photos at a close distance. She instantly sobered up and was led by the nose by Lu Zhen.

“Zhenzhen, I can’t determine the truth without evidence, but since you’re so sure, I’ll believe you.” With that, Wu Yu stood up and walked in front of Lu Rou. She raised her hand and slapped Lu Rou.

The loud slap shocked everyone in the ward.

“Lu Rou, do you know your mistake?”

“Mom! You can’t listen to my sister’s one-sided words. I really just wanted to wipe my sister’s face. Why must you side with her when there’s no evidence?! Do you have to make me die to prove my innocence?!”

Lu Rou cried and shouted at the door. Without giving everyone a chance to react, she slammed into the wall.

“Ah!”

Wu Yu screamed and ran to hug Lu Rou. Everyone instantly came back to their senses and panicked.

When Lu Zhen saw this, she held her chest and panted desperately.

Sun Xiao had been paying attention to Lu Zhen. Seeing this, she quickly shouted, “Sister Zhenzhen, what’s wrong?”

Lu Zhen fell into Sun Xiao’s arms and muttered, “You were the one who wanted to kill me, but you’re trying to force me to die?”

Before Lu Zhen fainted, tears fell from the corners of her eyes. It was heartbreaking to see.

Of course, Lu Zhen was pretending to faint. She could feel the doctor treating her and hear Sun Xiao’s screams.

“Can you say that Lu Rou is innocent just because she hit the wall? Then does that mean that every death row prisoner can prove that he didn’t kill anyone as long as he hit the wall? I saw with my own eyes that Lu Rou wanted to suffocate Zhenzhen! Don’t think that Lu Rou can distort the truth just because she hit the wall. I will find evidence! Just you wait!”

Sun Xiao’s cries were right beside Lu Zhen’s ear, making her heart ache. She had only helped Sun Xiao, who was wandering the streets, on the spur of the moment, but Sun Xiao had spent a few years repaying her.

In her previous life, Sun Xiao had told her that Lu Rou had covered her towel. At that time, she had reprimanded Sun Xiao and said that it was impossible. After that, Sun Xiao had repeatedly told her to be careful of Lu Rou, but she did not listen. She even had a feud with Sun Xiao. Back then, she was really stupid!

Wu Yu naturally knew that she had to retort Sun Xiao, but Lu Rou’s condition made her dare not to stay. She could only follow the doctor out.
