Chapter 297 - Lu Boyan was Attacked? (2) (1/2)
The photographers clicked rapidly on their shutters.
It must be a sensational news to capture the image of Lu Boyan being hit!
Yet—
Just as the recorder was about to hit Lu Boyan, Su Jianan rushed up, hugging onto Lu Boyan tightly—
The shutters had gone off even more intensely than before.
The family member of a worker attacked Lu Boyan furiously, Su Jianan s.h.i.+elding her husband with her body—how touching would that news article be?
Seeing that the recorder was about to hit Su Jianan’s back, Lu Boyan suddenly carried Su Jianan and made a turn, and ended up s.h.i.+elding a Su Jianan who was trying to s.h.i.+eld him. The recorder hit his spine, and there was a heavy “thud” sound.
“Snap—Snap—”
The cameras were searching for a variety of angles to record that dramatic moment. Security had reacted immediately, taking the family member out of the conference hall.
At the moment, Su Jianan finally reacted, she lifted her head and looked at Lu Boyan, stunned.
“Why did you charge over?” Lu Boyan frowned, looking upset, yet he used his remaining energy to hug Su Jianan tightly, completely revealing his state of panic.
Su Jianan looked lost, “I… I don’t know…”
Everyone was ready to watch the show, waiting to record his moment of humiliation. But for her, she only wanted to protect Lu Boyan.
That moment, her body had acted before her mind did; her actions were completely by instinct.
She had never considered whether she would get hurt herself, whether it would be painful. She only knew that she could not allow Lu Boyan to get attacked in front of the media.
Her lost yet firm look softened Lu Boyan, “It was just a recorder. If it really had hit me, it might not have injured me. But it would be different for you.”
Su Jianan was dainty and delicate. If the recorder had hit her, the bruises would probably persist for more than a mere few days.
He rubbed Su Jianan’s head and said, “Don’t do this again.”
Su Jianan nodded and asked, “Are you hurt?”
Lu Boyan smiled. “Mrs. Lu, I’m not that fragile.”
Su Jianan brushed the tip of her nose. “Oh.”
Just then, she noticed the cameras snapping at them in the corner of her eye. Su Jianan’s face reddened, and ran out frantically.
Due to that accident, the press conference had ended earlier than planned. Lu Boyan brought Su Jianan back to the office.
Lu Boyan retrieved some doc.u.ments, and held Su Jianan’s hand. “Let’s go home.”
“It’s only six,” Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan in astonishment. “I had already forgotten when was the last time you had returned home before 10 p.m. Can you really… return so early today?”
Lu Boyan was going to joke with Su Jianan, but upon hearing that, he restrained his smile. Caressing Su Jianan’s small hand in his palm, he asked, “Have I neglected you lately?”
Su Jianan pouted, showing her disagreement. “I’m not a three year-old. Why do I need your company?” She said half-jokingly. “You can just focus all on what you need to. I’m still waiting to see you win this battle!”
“Wait until I’m done with this, I’ll take you to France,” Lu Boysan said.
“Eh?” Su Jianan was really surprised that time, grinning from ear to ear. “You still remember?”
Lu Boyan did not agree or disagree. His brows were expressing a sort of pleasantness.
He remembered everything he had told Su Jianan.
Including the promises he had made to her.
From Su Jianan’s angle, the joy in Lu Boyan’s eyes and the shape of his face were extremely clear, making her heart flutter.
She did not know why exactly, but she found Lu Boyan more attractive than ever.
When the two of them reached home, news about the press conference at Lu Enterprises had been released on the net.
To their surprise, the news of Su Jianan rus.h.i.+ng up the stage to protect her husband, ending up with Lu Boyan s.h.i.+elding her instead, had ended up as the headline.
In comparison, Lu Boyan’s responses to the Fanting Garden collapse incident had received less attention.
And so, it was inevitable that some people had gone to Han Ruoxi’s Weibo to make sarcastic remarks, sneering at her for making a big deal out of dining with Lu Boyan in the past. They urged her to look clearly, since that was true love.
Han Ruoxi’s image was incredibly aloof and cold, and would never care about her Weibo comments. But in reality, she would pay attention in secret.
Seeing such comments among a sea of praises naturally made her mad. She called Kang Ruicheng, “When do you want me to start doing something?”
“Why the rush?” Kang Ruicheng said calmly, “Didn’t you say you want Su Jianan to initiate leaving Lu Boyan, and also to ruin her reputation? I’ve already said I will satisfy you, and so I will do it. As for you, you only need to cooperate with me, and just watch the show.”
“Kang Ruicheng,” Han Ruoxi asked coldly. “Could it be that you like Su Jianan and you have qualms about harming her?”
“…”
“…”
“So what if I do like her?” After a moment of silence, Kang Ruicheng’s att.i.tude changed drastically; every word he uttered was stinging and cold. “You have no right to intrude into my business.”
Han Ruoxi was so angry she slammed the phone—she was used to being dominating and in control, but with Kang Ruicheng, she had no choice but to submit.
Han Ruoxi had only managed to calm down after some time.
That was right. As long as she could see Su Jianan become the target of hate and humilitation. What would this little bit of indignation mean to her?
