Perhaps to make their act more realistic, Du Zheng visited her every day, fed her and pushed her out to bask in the sun when the weather was good.
She was only a small star and few people could recognize her when she wore a mask and sunglasses. However, Du Zheng frequently pushed her wheelchair around the garden and his gentleness made people envious. As they became more envious, people started to pay attention to them. They often heard other patients whispering to their family members. “Who is that girl in the wheelchair wearing a mask? I heard that the person pushing her is her husband. He’s really handsome and loving.”
More people starting asking around and the nurses unintentionally spread some gossip when they were resting. “I didn’t think that Chairman Du was such a man of substance. He’s one of the most eligible bachelors, yet he quietly married a small star.”
Small star?!
Gossip started to get heated as everyone starting asking about that masked girl. After asking around for a while, the truth was revealed. She was Jin Ling’er.
“Jin Ling’er married Du Family Corporation’s Du Zheng secretly!”
“When Jin Ling’er was admitted to the hospital after a car accident, Du Zheng affectionately accompanied her!”
“The sparrow flies up the branch and transforms into a phoenix!”
Shocking headlines quickly appeared in the news. Not only were the patients and their families in shock, but the entire entertainment industry and celebrity gossip columns also blew up. Rumors spread overnight as people speculated about their relationship. Many reporters called their assistants and managers, asking them to explain the details. The situation was becoming very undesirable.
During her break, Xia Yingluo took some time to read the news and smiled at Wei Lingnan, who was in the same car as her. “Look at what you did. Brother Du Zheng has to tolerate so much gossip due to that signature. Things are about to get interesting.”
Wei Lingnan glanced at his beloved girl. “I’m just helping them. With that slugging pace the two of them are progressing, when will they be able to see their hearts clearly?”
Xia Yingluo smiled again. “Fine. This time you were useful.”
She was in a good mood. She glanced at the news again and hummed a song.
Looking at the delicate side-view, Wei Lingnan wanted to reach out to stroke soft long hair. His fingers move, but he did not dare to touch her. She already resented him and it took a long time before he could mend their relationship. He did not wish for their fragile relationship to be destroyed by his impulsiveness.
Xia Yingluo minded her business and hummed a song. Suddenly, she said, “Brother Du Zheng’s family must be going crazy, right? With his status, news that he quietly married an ordinary girl would be earth-shattering. His mom would probably object to his marriage.”
“Yes.” Wei Lingnan faintly answered. “Not everyone doesn’t have family restrictions like me.”
Xia Yingluo looked at him in annoyance, but she did not realize that she almost smiled.
With her head in her hands, she thought for a moment. “I think it is time to visit Ling’er. It’s a tough time for her and Brother Du Zheng now. No matter what, I should protect their relationship.”
Wei Lingnan said, “You haven’t even had time to care about yourself.”
Xia Yingluo said, “Are you talking about the World Tree? Recently it received a lot of energy. Although it can’t be very strong, at least it won’t die. It is really annoying. I think it’s good that it’s in this half-alive state. I don’t wish for it to be born on Earth because it will endanger humans.” Ignoring the protests of the World Tree in her mind, she smiled. “Don’t you agree.”
“Yes.” Wei Lingnan was enchanted by her smile and replied without thinking.
Thus, she smiled again and lazily stretched. “I’m exhausted. Let’s take a break tomorrow. I want to visit Ling’er at the hospital.”
The next day, she ordered a bunch of flowers from Wei Lingnan’s Starlit Florist and went to visit Jin Ling’er.
She walked along the long corridor to the single VIP ward and just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard a sharp scolding from the room. “Jin Ling’er, who do you think you are? How dare you try to scheme your way into a rich household at such a young age! Let me tell you, as long as I, Sheng Yuqiong, am here, you will never be able to do as you please! Don’t think that you’re so amazing after creating some fake news. You can only marry my son over my dead body!” After that, there was a string of curse words such as “bitch” and “slut.”
Xia Yingluo’s face darkened. She knew that it was Du Zheng’s mother.
Jin Ling’er endured the allegations and answered, “Aunt Sheng, you are mistaken. Du Zheng only signed as my husband to help me stay in this hospital. Why would I use this method to marry into a wealthy household?”
Sheng Yuqiong sneered. “Ah Zheng voluntarily signed for you? You must be dreaming! Do you think that I don’t know my own son? He doesn’t care for these aimless things! You must have shamelessly seduced him, vixen!”
“Aunt Sheng!” Jin Ling’er felt aggrieved after being called a vixen and indignantly called out. “I respect you as Du Zheng’s mom, that’s why I’m being courteous to you. However, that doesn’t mean I will tolerate all your scoldings! I’m not a vixen! I have a clear conscience!”
“As if you have a clear conscience!” Sheng Yuqiong was furious and sneered. “If you really have a clear conscience, do you dare to swear that you don’t like Du Zheng at all in front of me? And that you won’t ever be entangled with him or ever want to marry him?”
“I…” Jin Ling’er was speechless. She did not deliberately seduce Du Zheng, but this was a separate matter from whether she liked Du Zheng. She liked him a lot and wished that she could marry him one day. How could she be willing to swear to something like that in front of Sheng Yuqiong?
“Feeling guilty now?” Sheng Yuqiong already saw through her act. “I’ve seen many young and poor girls like you! All of you are just greedy for our family’s money, right? Are 5 million dollars enough? Take it and get far away from me!”
“Aunt Sheng!” This time, Jin Ling’er was really angry and her voice trembled. “You can’t humiliate me like this!”
Xia Yingluo could not bear to hear their argument anymore and pushed open the ward door.
The two women in the ward stopped arguing and turned around to look at her.
“Yingluo?” Jin Ling’er was the first to speak. “Why are you here?” She did not want to be seen in her most pathetic state, so she smiled awkwardly. “What a coincidence! Come, sit over here. I’m having a chat with Aunt Sheng right now.”
Xia Yingluo knew Sheng Yuqiong and at this time, Xia Yingluo coldly said, “Sheng Yuqiong.”
Sheng Yuqiong saw her and felt a little awkward. She did not know if she heard her insulting Jin Ling’er just now. She forced a smile and said to Xia Yingluo, “Oh, so it is you, Yingluo. Why are you here today?”
