Chapter 13 Despair

"???"

"Aunt Liu, I know you're anxious, but just hold on!"

Lu Xuan helped Aunt Liu up and asked with a frown.

It was the first time he had seen Aunt Liu in such a state of panic.

After helping Aunt Liu back to the sofa, Lu Xuan asked her what had happened.

Aunt Liu grabbed his hand, her face filled with anxiety.

"Lu Xuan, please help Su Yao!"

She couldn't find anyone who could help Su Yao right now!

Lu Xuan was the only person she could rely on at the moment, so Aunt Liu placed all her hopes on him.

"Su Yao? What happened to Su Yao?"

Lu Xuan felt that something wasn't right.

Aunt Liu gritted her teeth, "It's Shenghua Group!"

Then, she told him everything the Shenghua Group had done.

Including how Su Yao was isolated on the set.

"They even threatened that as long as any production team dared to hire Yao Yao, they would suppress them."

"If they can't have her, they'll ruin her!"

Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Beneath his seemingly calm face was an icy rage.

Shenghua Entertainment had gone too far!

If they were targeting someone else, Lu Xuan might not have bothered, but they were targeting Su Yao, his 'wife'!

Lu Xuan had seen Su Yao's efforts over the past two months.

Even he himself was ashamed of his own lack of effort compared to hers!

But Shenghua Entertainment's actions had directly destroyed those efforts!

They directly denied, destroyed, and trampled on everything Su Yao had done!

Especially their final provocative phone call, made Lu Xuan clench his fists.

Weren't they being a little too much?

Who did they think they were? Gods?

How dare they so easily decide someone's fate!

"Hoo—"

After calming down, Lu Xuan opened his phone and searched for *Xian Mo Qing Yuan* (Fairy and Demon Love Story).

What greeted his eyes were vulgar insults!

The traces of hired internet trolls were too obvious; Lu Xuan saw through them at a glance.

Clearly, this was also Shenghua Entertainment's doing.

"They want to completely ruin Su Yao?!"

Lu Xuan had never been so angry.

Not only because of Su Yao, but also because of Shenghua's dirty tactics.

Even the strongest person would break down if they encountered something like this, right?

"Aunt Liu, where is Su Yao?"

Lu Xuan turned to look at Aunt Liu.

The most urgent thing was to calm Su Yao down and keep her away from the internet.

The only way to avoid cyberbullying was to stay away from the internet.

Aunt Liu looked worriedly outside, "She went out and hasn't come back yet."

Lu Xuan's heart tightened, "Alone?"

"Yes, I wanted to follow her, but she wouldn't let me, afraid it would upset her even more, so I agreed."

"I'll call her and see." Lu Xuan dialed the number.

But the ringtone rang inside the house.

Su Yao didn't take her phone!

Rumble—

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out in the open air!

It struck the hearts of the two people in the room, something bad was about to happen!

It was raining!

And it was a massive storm!

Bean-sized raindrops accompanied by violent winds slammed against the glass, making a thudding sound.

"Damn it! The weather forecast was actually right!"

Lu Xuan swore directly.

It was at times like these that the weather forecast was frighteningly accurate!

He didn't have time to think, so he grabbed an umbrella by the door and rushed out.

"Aunt Liu, if we don't come back too late, remember to call the police!"

......

The torrential rain poured down from the sky without reason.

Plastic bags were constantly swept into the sky by the strong winds, only to be slammed against the glass of the building.

There was little traffic on the road, and pedestrians hid wherever they could.

But in the heavy rain, there was still a person holding an umbrella, constantly searching for something.

"Where could she be!"

Lu Xuan wiped the rain off his face, the hand holding the umbrella showing bulging veins.

He stood in the rain, calmly thinking of any places Su Yao might go.

If she was sheltering from the rain somewhere, then Lu Xuan would at most have made a wasted trip.

But he feared the worst-case scenario!

Su Yao was currently facing the lowest point in her life.

People in this period are most likely to have suicidal thoughts, and Lu Xuan was afraid that Su Yao would be unable to think straight!

He didn't want this strong, flower-like girl to have her hope of life taken away by some disgusting scum at an age when she should be smiling brightly!

"Where? Where could she be!"

After searching all the nearby shops and shelters, Lu Xuan couldn't find Su Yao's figure.

The worst had happened!

She hadn't chosen to shelter from the rain, but was still lingering outside!

"Calm down, calm down..."

Lu Xuan forced himself to calm down, then thought about everything Su Yao had told him.

"She once said that when she's feeling down, she goes for a walk in the park alone."

"The park? The park!"

In the heavy rain, Lu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He knew where Su Yao was!

Lu Xuan broke into a run, heading towards the only park nearby.

......

Central Park.

On a roadside bench, a thin figure was sitting there, covered in mud.

Next to her was a dazzling white lily, which was now being battered by the wind and rain.

"We're really alike."

Su Yao weakly reached out and carefully protected the lily.

The lily survived.

But Su Yao felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter.

"I protected you, but who will protect me..."

She smiled self-deprecatingly.

In her mind, many figures suddenly flashed past, finally settling on a tall figure.

"Lu Xuan?"

She shook her head with all her might, shaking off the rain.

But the figure in front of her still stood firmly there.

Accompanied by heavy breathing, a white umbrella was firmly held over Su Yao's head.

"Phew, I finally found you."

"Looks like I have the potential to be a detective."

The familiar voice was especially clear in the howling wind and rain.

After resting for a while, Lu Xuan plopped down next to Su Yao, splashing some water.

The umbrella was still held over Su Yao's head.

"Why are you here?"

"You... shouldn't have come."

Su Yao didn't expect Lu Xuan to actually appear, she wanted to avoid him, but in the end, she just shrank back.

She didn't expect Lu Xuan to come looking for her.

Or rather, she didn't expect anyone to come looking for her!

"Why did you come?"

She had already given up on herself.

"Why?"

A strange surge of anger rose in Lu Xuan's heart, but after seeing Su Yao's eyes, the anger quietly subsided.

These eyes used to be full of light!

"......"

His heart ached inexplicably.

He was silent for a moment, then shrugged casually, "Because I'm your legal husband."

"Isn't it natural for a husband to bring an umbrella to his wife?"

His body was already shivering from the cold, but Lu Xuan still moved the umbrella closer to Su Yao.

The girl next to him needed it more than he did.

"You..."

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Su Yao's eyes trembled violently.

On her pretty face, it was hard to tell if it was tears or rain.

And when she saw that half of Lu Xuan's body was being soaked in the rain, her heart also trembled.

"......"

Su Yao stopped talking and moved closer to Lu Xuan, so that both of them could be under the umbrella.

She didn't speak, and Lu Xuan didn't know what to say.

After noticing the girl's action, he sighed slightly in his heart.

This was fine, as long as Su Yao didn't do anything stupid.

The rain kept falling.

Su Yao sat there silently, and Lu Xuan sat beside her, also in silence.

The rain would eventually stop.
