"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt. It's all my fault. I hurt you. I... I'm a disaster. I shouldn't be alive..."

He had tears in his eyes, his mouth was trembling as he kept talking, his breathing was a little difficult, his face was a little purple, and a big hand covered his little mouth.

Ye Bei held the back of Lu Chengze's head with one hand and gently covered his mouth and nose with the other hand, staring at him with burning eyes, "Xiao Ze, look at me, follow your mother and take a deep breath, inhale and exhale..."

Lu Chengze stared into her eyes, unable to concentrate at first. His little mouth trembled constantly, and he slowly followed Ye Bei's breathing.

After several minutes, his breathing finally calmed down. Ye Bei took a tissue and wiped his nose and the tears on his face.

"Listen to me, it wasn't your fault just now. It was those people's fault. It's not your problem. You can't blame yourself for it."

"Did you hear that?" Ye Bei looked at him and stroked his cheek.

Lu Chengze nodded. He had just been crying and talking without thinking, which had consumed a lot of his energy. Now he leaned limply in Ye Bei's arms.

"All you can do is to treat your illness well and grow up well."

Ye Bei patted his little shoulder and comforted him, "No matter what you did, Mom and Dad will not blame you."

Lu Chengze hummed softly.

"It really doesn't hurt? You're lying to me." He lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Bei's bandaged arm. He remembered how the wound looked just now.

How could it not hurt!

She would just talk nonsense, obviously because she didn't want him and his brother to worry.

"Well, it hurts a little, but it's bearable."

Ye Bei knew that when getting along with Lu Chengze, she couldn’t treat him as a child, but had to treat him as an adult who was equal to herself.

She reached out and pinched his nose, "For the sake of me saving you, can you promise me one thing?"

"What?" When Lu Chengze heard her say that, he felt less guilty.

"I don't ask you to accept children of your age, but I hope you can try to get along with them, like making some friends." Ye Bei felt that he had closed himself off. Apart from his younger brother Lu Zhizhou, there were no other children to play with. As a result, he developed a morbid attitude towards the few acquaintances around him. Over time, this would be detrimental to his condition.

Originally, Ye Bei wanted to let him do what he wanted and let him take his time, but she found that was too slow and it was difficult for the child to come up with such an idea on his own initiative.

Lu Chengze looked up in surprise and found that Ye Bei had given him many opportunities to ask him to see a doctor, but she didn't do it.

"Okay, I promise you I'll try." Lu Chengze felt a little awkward and lowered his eyes, not daring to look Ye Bei in the eye.

"But I can't guarantee it will work."

Ye Bei was very patient. "As long as you are willing to give it a try, it will be fine."

"Anything else?" Lu Chengze felt a little hopeful. If she told him to accept treatment, he would agree.

Because he knew that was what Ye Bei really wanted to see.

"No." Ye Bei smiled.

Lu Chengze took another deep look at the bandaged wound on her arm, with some worry in his eyes.

He grabbed Ye Bei's hand and said, "Wait a minute... I'll go out with you."

"Don't worry, I will protect myself."

Ye Bei pursed her lips and said, "You are still a child. Whether you consider yourself a child or not, you are still a child to adults. It is our duty to protect you."

Lu Chengze looked at Ye Bei quietly, lowered his head and said nothing more.

"Okay, don't think about it. Let me see if my brother is back. Let's go down together."

Ye Bei rubbed his little head, opened the car window, and saw from afar Lu Zhizhou holding Jiang Lan's hand and walking towards them.

"Sister Bei, take a look at the trending searches on your phone. Someone has pushed you to the top again." Jiang Lan opened the car door, sat inside, and said to Ye Bei.

Jiang Lan took out his phone and showed it to Ye Bei. The hot search on it was: #叶貝疑三上位#

Many big bloggers left comments under this Weibo post, and their comments were very realistic.

momo: "The news is true and reliable! Lu Tingyan and Xu Qingwan are childhood sweethearts. Xu Qingwan is the eldest daughter of the Xu family and a famous pianist abroad. Ye Bei was promoted to the top and forced Lu Tingyan to marry her, and even forced Xu Qingwan away. The two divorced because Xu Qingwan returned to China. Lu Tingyan's white moonlight has always been Xu Qingwan. Ye Bei also used means to get to the top. So far, she has used the two children to bind Lu Tingyan and got a large sum of money, as well as child support."

"I just searched it and found out that Xu Qingwan is the eldest daughter of the Xu Group. She is a legitimate daughter. She has been excellent since she was a child. She is a famous pianist abroad and has won countless trophies. How dare Ye Bei compete with her!"

"Just tell me, how could Lu Tingyan fall for a pretty face like Ye Bei, who has no special skills and poor acting skills? It seems that he has someone he likes. Now he seriously suspects that Ye Bei might have gotten pregnant before marriage to force marriage, right?"

"As expected, reality is more dramatic than fiction. I have already imagined a plot for the domineering president in my mind. Could it be that Ye Bei is the vicious female supporting role in the novel? Now that the domineering president's true lover is back, Ye Bei should give way, and then the domineering president will be with the heroine."

"Why doesn't Ye Bei just die? Xu Qingwan and Lu Tingyan are a perfect match, but she used some tricks to separate them. Now she's using the child to ask for money. She wants some face."

"It's so annoying, why is it always her every day?"

……

Jiang Lan said, "I just received a message from Song Chengyu. He asked you not to send anything for now."

She felt that the things on the Internet were not true. Someone like Lu Tingyan would not easily allow others to threaten him, unless he was willing.

"Who is it? It's too cruel! They have been targeting you all the time. Your divorce was fabricated and this was deliberately made up. But Miss Xu Ye Bei..." Jiang Lan was still a little worried. What was said on the Internet was very convincing.

"She is indeed Lu Tingyan's childhood sweetheart, but it is not as rumored online. There is no special relationship between them." Ye Bei explained.

Jiang Lan heard her say that and no longer had any doubts. He comforted her, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu will definitely ask the public relations department to remove the hot search, and will not let go of those who want to harm you behind the scenes."

In fact, compared to Jiang Lan, Ye Bei, the person involved, is calmer.

Ye Bei handed her the phone and raised her eyebrows, "Find a few more bodyguards."

When she thought of what had just happened, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart came up again. She didn't want to see what happened today again.

Jiang Lan paused, feeling a little guilty and self-blaming, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I should have hired a bodyguard when it became a hot topic last night."

She lowered her head and gritted her teeth. If she had arranged it earlier, Ye Bei would not have been injured. She was too inconsiderate.
