Bound by Secrets

Chapter 5: Lu Chen Yu's Donation

The ring on her middle finger was simple, elegant, and tasteful, exactly the style Xu Lan Yi liked. But in this moment, Xu Lan Yi inexplicably felt as if she had fallen into a trap from which she could not escape.

A flash of a black shadow passed by; it turned out she hadn't been mistaken. Xu Lan Yi didn't expect that she was still thinking about that person even now, just because of a similar face. How could Chen Yan Ran treat her like that? It was impossible...

At this moment, Dong Cheng was immersed in joy. He secretly counted the days in his heart, and this was already the fifteenth time he had proposed to Xu Lan Yi in five years. Dong Cheng always knew every detail about Xu Lan Yi's preferences. He had even chosen that ring for her five years ago. How could he not give her what she liked?

Lovers eventually unite, which is originally the most beautiful wish in the world. Even strangers would stop and offer their blessings, seemingly beautiful everything, but it made Xu Lan Yi feel extremely painful.

Feeling the cold touch from Xu Lan Yi's fingertips, Dong Cheng's eyebrows also slightly furrowed.

"Xiao Yi, let's go to the hospital together and tell Uncle Xu this good news!" Dong Cheng's tone was very obvious in its consultative meaning, and also had a bit of expectation.

Sure enough, as soon as Dong Cheng's words fell, Xu Lan Yi pulled her hand back.

"Xiao Yi..." Dong Cheng suddenly stagnated, and his eyes also dimmed.

Perceiving Dong Cheng's abnormality, Xu Lan Yi's heart also ached, knowing that she had hurt Dong Cheng again.

Hospital? Xu Lan Yi promised Dr. Chen that she would gather 200,000 in three days. This 200,000 was the life-saving money for her father, but Xu Lan Yi could not trouble Dong Cheng again.

She originally didn't want Dong Cheng to know about this matter; she already owed him so much. Five years of time, such companionship could surpass everything.

Thinking of this, the shadow once again appeared in front of Xu Lan Yi's eyes. After all, she would think of the man named Lu Chen Yu again, or rather, she just remembered such a similar face. Lu Chen Yu's appearance once again told Xu Lan Yi a fact: she simply could not forget Chen Yan Ran.

Five years could take away all her past hopes, but it could not stop her from thinking about the past when she was alone at midnight.

Chen Yan Ran will always be the mole on her chest, hidden in the muscle, painful in the heart.

"Dong Cheng, Dad is also fine there, he is very well. The bar is quite busy these days, and I want to take this opportunity to earn more money." Xu Lan Yi tried her best to find an excuse, she didn't want Dong Cheng to know about her father's affairs. Knowing her excuse was very poor, Xu Lan Yi couldn't help but want to escape.

Just as Xu Lan Yi wanted to turn around and run away, Dong Cheng suddenly embraced her.

Dong Cheng gave her five years of companionship, but the two of them rarely had such intimate moments. This embrace was also unfamiliar to her, but very warm.

The job at the nightclub was found by Dong Cheng. She, who did not graduate from university, had to bear her father's medical expenses. After experiencing setbacks again and again, she finally chose this place. Lu Chen Yu was absolutely right, she was for the money. Countless nights, she also got drunk alone, and on those nights, Dong Cheng watched her from a distance, but she met Chen Yan Ran in her own dreams.

"Xiao Yi, don't run away, don't avoid, don't refuse me, okay? I have already heard about the hospital's affairs, how can 200,000 be gathered in a short time? I said, I will face this matter with you, and this time I am not ready to let go."

Dong Cheng's voice was very gentle, but his tone had an undeniable meaning.

Finally, Dong Cheng still knew.

Xu Lan Yi stopped struggling, but Dong Cheng hugged her tighter.

Lu Chen Yu saw all this in his eyes, his face became even more gloomy, but a desolate smile overflowed from the corners of his lips.

Five years, some things are also time to make a conclusion.

Xu Lan Yi was finally unable to resist Dong Cheng. They had known each other for many years, and Dong Cheng was very familiar with her temperament, naturally hitting the key point at once.

When the two came to the hospital together, Xu's father was still sleeping. He has been asleep for five years, and Xu Lan Yi doesn't know how long she has to wait. But as long as her father can wake up, she is willing to do anything.

At this moment, Xu Lan Yi's heart was sinking bit by bit. The three-day agreement, this is the first day. She not only did not raise enough money but also lost her precious first time. If Dong Cheng was not present, Xu Lan Yi really wanted to cry. Even though there were thousands of thoughts in her heart, Xu Lan Yi's face still looked very calm, she didn't want Dong Cheng to worry.

After visiting her father in the ward, Xu Lan Yi wanted to visit Dr. Chen.

"Dr. Chen, how is my father's condition? I will find a way about the medical expenses..." In the end, Xu Lan Yi's mood became a bit low.

Dr. Chen had just gone to check on the patients, and when he saw Xu Lan Yi, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed.

"Miss Xu, congratulations! I just received the notice that the Shengyu Group has raised donations for your father. As for the surgery fee, it is no longer a problem."

As the attending physician of Xu's father, he has watched Xu Lan Yi grow from a naive girl to a person who can stand on her own over the years. Dr. Chen naturally knows her difficulties, and now that the matter is resolved, he is also happy for Xu Lan Yi.

Shengyu Group? The words quickly flashed through Xu Lan Yi's mind. Yes, Chen Yan Ran, no, the nanny of Lu Chen Yu's family did say it was true.

Lu Chen Yu, he is the president of the Shengyu Group.

For a moment, Xu Lan Yi didn't know what to say. She didn't know why Lu Chen Yu would do this? But, no matter what, he is always just Lu Chen Yu and will never become Chen Yan Ran.

Why isn't he Chen Yan Ran? Why?

Seeing Xu Lan Yi daydreaming there, Dr. Chen asked with concern, "Miss Xu, are you okay?"

Xu Lan Yi waved her hands repeatedly, trying to hide the unease in her heart. In the end, she couldn't help asking, "Dr. Chen, why would the Shengyu Group donate to my father?"

Dr. Chen knew she would definitely be puzzled, so he directly told her the ins and outs of the matter, "Shengyu Group donates a sum of money to our hospital every year, every year in July, but this year for some reason, it was two months earlier. Your father is really lucky, just caught up."

Xu Lan Yi's heart finally calmed down, all of this was just a coincidence, then, she would no longer have any involvement with that man named Lu Chen Yu.

He is not Chen Yan Ran, Xu Lan Yi once again told herself not to think too much.

Coincidences are never just one. Lu Chen Yu thought that this good play was just beginning.

When Dong Cheng came over, he happened to hear the conversation between Xu Lan Yi and Dr. Chen.

He originally wanted to go back to that home, then to be soft with the old man, and take back the 200,000 to deal with the emergency. Now it seems that it is no longer needed, Dong Cheng naturally feels happy. But he can't even help the woman he likes, which also makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing Dong Cheng coming, Xu Lan Yi couldn't help but want to share the joy with him.

"Dong Cheng, it's great, Dad is saved, this is really great!"

Even to this day, the person who can make Xu Lan Yi happy is still him. Chen Yan Ran from before, Lu Chen Yu now.

Dong Cheng and Xu Lan Yi thanked Dr. Chen together, and Dong Cheng left the hospital because he had something to deal with. These days, because of the engagement, Dong Cheng has hardly had a peaceful day. He also hopes that he can deal with these matters as soon as possible and give an account to Xu Lan Yi. Of course, it is also an account to himself.

When night falls, the night belongs to Xu Lan Yi. The matter of the 200,000 has come to an end, and she still needs to work hard to earn more money for unexpected needs.

When she returned to the nightclub, Xu Lan Yi felt a sense of being in a different era.

When she entered the door, Xu Lan Yi was stopped by the new security guard.

"Miss, this is not the place for you." However, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old teenager, with a face full of childishness, spoke with a sense of righteousness.

Xu Lan Yi couldn't help but smile, "Little brother, which point do you think I don't look like a person from here?"

Indeed, Xu Lan Yi's temperament makes people unable to associate her with the nightclub at all. When she first came here five years ago, someone said to her, "This is not the place for you."

Five years later, when she heard this again, Xu Lan Yi just smiled and ignored it.

It wasn't until she showed her work card that the young security guard sent her in with a stunned look.

Entering the door, it was another scene.

The surroundings were filled with deafening sounds, occasionally accompanied by some blushing and heart-pumping moans. Xu Lan Yi couldn't help but shake her head, five years, although she adapted to the environment here, she still felt shocked.

Such a place, where is it for doing business? It's for having fun.

The words of the nanny in Lu Chen Yu's family were indeed good, he has countless women around him, Xu Lan Yi is just one of them!

While feeling sad, Xu Lan Yi was also warning herself that this person has nothing to do with her anymore.

"Yiyi, you're finally here, the guest in 2601 has been waiting for you for a long time." Wenwen looked at Xu Lan Yi with a complicated look, as if something was missing compared to before.

Xu Lan Yi smiled embarrassedly, "I'm going now!" She hardly considered who this guest was, anyway, there are so many guests every day. Since someone is willing to buy her drinks, why not?

After Xu Lan Yi left, Busty Sister didn't know when to come over. She patted Wenwen's shoulder, "Little girl, see, you should learn this in the future. Maybe one day you can meet a big boss, and it's just a matter of minutes to become a phoenix on the branch!"

Busty Sister has been feeling emotional, Wenwen glared at her and walked away.

"Now even the little girl selling drinks has such good capital, it's really hard to get by!"

After that! Busty Sister shook her chest and went to look for a target.

Just arrived here and there is business, Xu Lan Yi naturally feels very happy. She knocked on the door, but no one responded.
