In the ward, Anna heard footsteps and suddenly looked up, seeing Lou Yuming. She happily got out of bed immediately. "Yuming, you're finally back!"
But before her hand could touch the man's clothes, he suddenly waved his large hand and ruthlessly pushed her away.
Even when he disliked Anna the most, he had never been so rough.
Shao Cheng couldn't help but wonder what had happened to make him so angry.
"...Yuming?"
Anna was startled and quickly put on a wronged expression. "What's wrong?"
Lou Yuming didn't have time to waste with her. He threw the chat log, which he had someone restore, at her. His voice was as cold as if it had crawled out of a cellar. "Who allowed you to touch my phone?"
Anna's face turned ashen. Her eyes widened so much that her eyeballs were about to fall out.
She was truly blinded by emotion, forgetting that with his abilities, restoring a chat log was as easy as pie!
A miscalculation! It was a complete miscalculation!
"What phone, what did I touch?"
Shao Cheng quickly walked over and looked at the phone. His face darkened.
Stupid, so stupid! Was her brain clamped by a door or hit by a car? How could she come up with such a trick!
Lou Yuming had always disliked outsiders touching his things, let alone her impersonating him to text Song Xi! She must have had a death wish!
"I'm sorry!"
Anna immediately admitted her mistake, crying profusely. "Yuming, I'm sorry. I... I just cared too much. I had just woken up, and I acted on impulse. I'm sorry..."
Facing her helpless sobs, Lou Yuming remained expressionless, even feeling disgusted.
"You wanted to sow discord between Song Xi and me." His eyes sliced through her wronged face like knives. "What right do you have?"
Anna froze on the spot. Her tears stopped in her eyes.
Lou Yuming had nothing more to say. He took his phone and looked coldly at Shao Cheng.
"Effective immediately, break off the engagement with Shao Anna."
"No!"
Anna lunged forward, grabbing Lou Yuming's hand and crying out in despair. "Yuming, I was wrong! Please, give me another chance. I really didn't mean to!"
But this time, she had completely crossed his line.
Lou Yuming's expression was distant and cold, with a sense of deterrence. "Shao Cheng, control your sister."
With that, he coldly shook her off and strode away.
"Yuming—!"
Shao Cheng grabbed Anna and roared, "Have you made enough of a scene?"
Anna screamed hoarsely, her delicate features contorting. "Let go! I'm going to find Yuming!"
Slap!
Shao Cheng slapped her across the face. Even he, usually refined and gentle at the hospital, lost his composure.
"After doing something like this, aren't you embarrassed enough? You've nearly disgraced the Shao family!"
"What did I do!" Anna roared wildly. "What's wrong with me defending my love! I did nothing wrong! It's Song Xi, that bitch Song Xi seduced him! It's all because of her! She deserves to die, she deserves to die!!"
She looked no different from a patient in a psychiatric ward!
"Madwoman!"
Shao Cheng decided he didn't care about her anymore. Let her do whatever she wanted.
Unexpectedly, Anna suddenly grabbed him, her eyes bloodshot. "What Yuming said earlier was just him being angry, right? Brother, you have to help me!"
"Impossible!" Shao Cheng said decisively. "Anna, I told you before, stop playing those clumsy tricks of yours. Don't end up losing everything. This is your own doing!"
He coldly pulled back his white coat. "I will find a suitable reason to break off the engagement and try to save you some face. If it weren't for the fact that you have the surname Shao, I wouldn't bother with you!"
"Shao Cheng—!"
Anna looked incredulous and began to brandish a knife at her neck, threatening him. "If you don't help me, I'll die right in front of you! If Grandma finds out, she'll hate you!"
Shao Cheng sneered. "Threatening me with Grandma again? Trying to play suicide games with me, sister, you've really picked the wrong person."
The door slammed shut with a bang.
A nurse, hearing the commotion, intended to check, but Shao Cheng stopped her. "It's nothing, she's just having a tantrum. If anyone in room 306 presses the call button, don't go."
He was truly heartless, so cold-blooded to his own sister.
Anna gave a bitter laugh, the knife falling to the ground. Then, covering her face, she sobbed heart-wrenchingly.
...
Song Xi learned about the annulment of Lou Yuming and Anna's engagement from Ge Baitao.
Ge Baitao said, "Xixi, you won't believe it, the whole circle is discussing it now. It's so lively!"
Song Xi was also puzzled. He had rushed back overnight for Anna yesterday, so why did they suddenly break up today?
"What was the reason?"
Ge Baitao replied, "They're saying it was due to seeing each other infrequently, leading to emotional distance. Hah, what are they trying to imitate, the entertainment industry? What kind of feelings could they possibly have? Meeting twice a month was already a lot. This kind of excuse can only fool those who don't know the truth."
"Besides, they were never really together, were they? I think Uncle Lou never really acknowledged her."
But he seemed to care quite a bit.
Song Xi couldn't understand it anymore. Men's hearts were like needles in haystacks, especially Lou Yuming's. No one could figure him out.
However, with the engagement officially broken off, she felt a sliver of joy in her heart.
Ge Baitao asked, "By the way, Xixi, how is it at the big factory? Just focus on your training. That kind of trending topic last time, I can get rid of it with one click now! Dai Ze is really amazing; I've learned a lot from him!"
Song Xi nodded. "Thanks to you, Taozi. Don't worry, I won't disappoint you!"
After hanging up, the trainees also returned from their break.
Song Xi was about to resume training when her phone suddenly vibrated. A video call came through; it was Lou Yuming.
