Became the Terminally Ill Supporting Male Lead's Rabbit Spirit

Chapter 56



Lu Zhe sat on a single sofa with a straight posture. His expression was calm as he replied, "Uncle Su, I don\'t need any thanks. If anyone else had been in danger instead of Su ZhiYuan, I would have helped them too."

During the fire, Lu Zhe had unhesitatingly saved Su\'s Father and Su\'s Mother. This time at the construction site, he had also rescued Su ZhiYuan.

Others might have considered the risk to their lives, but Lu Zhe knew his own life would be short.

Su\'s Father waved his hand, "No, your kindness to the Su family isn\'t as simple as just once or twice."

Lu Zhe had practically saved their entire family.

Su\'s Father said, "You were also injured this time. Your father wouldn\'t be happy about that when he finds out. I\'ve thought about it, and I plan to transfer 10% of Su Corporation\'s shares to you. What do you think?"

Everyone knew what Su Corporation meant. Even 1% of its shares would be worth several billion, let alone 10%.

More importantly, Su\'s Father transferring these shares to Lu Zhe meant he valued him as much as a member of the Su family.

Beside them, Su ZhiYuan was shocked, but since Lu Zhe had saved both his life and his parents\' lives, he felt his father\'s decision was reasonable.

Su\'s Mother hadn\'t expected her husband to make such a decision, but saving someone\'s life was an enormous debt of gratitude, and money was just material wealth. Lu Zhe had saved their family multiple times, so 10% of the shares was indeed appropriate.

Moreover, privately, she hoped Lu Zhe would accept the shares.

After all, to her, her daughter was more important than shares, and Lu Zhe was a smart child who should know how to choose.

The living room fell silent, with only the subtle sound of the servant pouring tea. The two little ones had already been taken upstairs by the servants to bathe, and Ji Chi had returned to his room to rest.

Su Ci sat next to Su\'s Mother, but her gaze remained fixed on Lu Zhe. She looked at him expectantly, hoping he would accept the shares.

Su Ci didn\'t think her heart was being unreasonable at all. She believed Lu Zhe deserved this, considering he had risked his life to save people both during the fire and at the construction site.

She was so worried about him.

Money wasn\'t nearly as important as Lu Zhe.

The bright lights fell on the young man\'s head. Lu Zhe wore a black T-shirt that made his features appear even more handsome. Seeing Su Ci winking at him, he curved his lips slightly and said, "Uncle Su, I cannot accept the shares."

"You won\'t take the shares?" Su\'s Father\'s sharp eyes examined Lu Zhe.

Even Su ZhiYuan was shocked.

Lu Zhe nodded seriously, "No."

He had stolen the Su family\'s little princess, which had already compensated for all the life-saving favors.

Su\'s Mother\'s gaze unconsciously turned to her daughter beside her, only to see her daughter staring at the young man opposite them with her dark eyes, not blinking once.

She sighed again.

Su\'s Father had originally planned to give some shares to Lu Zhe as thanks, but now that he had been refused, there was nothing he could do.

This young man Lu Zhe was nothing like that cunning Lu Chen who always put profit first.

Su\'s Father looked at Lu Zhe with approval, "Since you won\'t accept Su Corporation\'s shares, then the Su family will continue to owe you these favors. If you ever need anything from the Su family in the future, feel free to ask."

Only then did Lu Zhe agree.

After chatting for quite a while longer, Su ZhiYuan needed to discuss some matters about the construction project with Su\'s Father, so they went to the study.

Just then, a servant came to find Su\'s Mother, saying that little Su Ning was looking for her.

Su Ci thought her brother\'s timing was perfect.

Su\'s Mother looked at her daughter, then at Lu Zhe, frowning as she temporarily left.

Suddenly, only Su Ci and Lu Zhe were left in the living room.

The girl quickly got up and walked over to Lu Zhe, taking his hand, "I\'ll help change your bandages."

Yesterday, it was Su Ci who had helped change the bandages, and afterward, she had sneakily put Lu Zhe\'s medicine in her suitcase.

Her suitcase had already been taken back to her room by the servants.

"Come on," Su Ci pulled the young man.

Lu Zhe had no choice but to stand up and follow her upstairs.

In the hallway, Su Ci walked close to Lu Zhe, "Why won\'t you accept my family\'s shares?"

"I\'m already holding the Su family\'s most precious treasure in my hand." Lu Zhe squeezed the soft little hand that had slipped into his palm. "If I accepted your family\'s shares too, your parents would be angry when they found out."

Su Ci looked at Lu Zhe in surprise; it was rare to hear him praise her.

Her dark eyes lit up, and joy spread across her delicate features.

She smiled and leaned against Lu Zhe, pressing him, "If I\'m the Su family\'s precious treasure, then am I your dearest darling?"

Lu Zhe looked down at her, "Yes."

Getting the answer she wanted, Su Ci\'s eyes curved into crescents with happiness.

She lifted her chin and kissed Lu Zhe\'s cheek with her beautiful red lips, "That\'s your reward."

Lu Zhe raised his eyes and looked toward Ji Chi, who had just walked out of his room and was looking in their direction.

Instinctively, Lu Zhe\'s large hand rested on the girl\'s waist.

Ji Chi closed the door. He walked past Su Ci and Lu Zhe holding a cup, nodding to them as he passed. His expression remained neutral as he walked out of the hallway and went downstairs.

When the servant saw Ji Chi with an empty cup, they quickly came forward and said, "Young Master Ji Chi, do you need water? Let me help you."

Ji Chi refused, "Thank you, but there\'s no need. I can do it myself."

During his time at the Su family home, even though the servants were very respectful to Ji Chi, he always did things himself and rarely asked the Su family\'s servants for help.

He clearly knew his position.

He was only staying at the Su family temporarily, and none of this had anything to do with him.

Ji Chi walked into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water.

Unconsciously, the scene of the girl standing on tiptoe to kiss that young man called Lu Zhe floated through his mind.

Water spilled from the cup.

Ji Chi\'s lowered eyelids trembled slightly. He put down the water pitcher and took a cloth, wiping the wet countertop with practiced movements.

In the hallway, Su Ci hadn\'t expected someone to witness her kissing Lu Zhe, but fortunately, it was only Ji Chi and not her parents.

Lu Zhe asked the girl, "Is his room next to yours?"

Su Ci blinked, quickly realizing that "he" referred to Ji Chi. "Not next door, it\'s several rooms away."

Lu Zhe\'s hand remained on the girl\'s waist, pulling her even closer, "I remember you saying he\'s your mother\'s friend\'s son, staying here temporarily."

Su Ci nodded, "Yes, he\'ll move to the school dormitory after classes start. Right now, he works two part-time jobs, leaving early and returning late, so he doesn\'t spend much time at our house."

Lu Zhe\'s lips tightened slightly, "Mm."

"What\'s wrong?" Su Ci was curious why Lu Zhe would ask about Ji Chi, given that someone with his personality rarely showed interest in things or people.

Meeting the girl\'s clear, bright eyes, Lu Zhe gave a light laugh, "I\'m a bit jealous."

Su Ci looked at him, not understanding.

Lu Zhe\'s cool lips kissed her beautiful eyes, "I want to live under the same roof as you too."

The girl\'s eyes brightened, and she buried her face in Lu Zhe\'s chest, trembling with laughter, "Are you being jealous?"

She thought the poor little thing speaking such sour words was too cute!

......

Previously, Lu Zhe had left many things behind when he went to C City because of Su Ci, and he had become busy during this period.

Su Ci was understanding and didn\'t disturb him, only asking about his wound during their video calls at night.

The food show hadn\'t finished filming yet, and Su Ci wasn\'t one to give up halfway. When she arrived at the guest lounge, the other three guests were already there.

Since Su Ci had given the investigation materials to Xie Yumin last time, she hadn\'t paid attention to how Xie Yumin had handled the matter.

However, seeing Xie Yumin and Guan Jing sitting far apart from each other, it was clear that their relationship had soured.

Who could tolerate their close friend stabbing them in the back?

As long as Xie Yumin wasn\'t too emotional and maintained a clear head, she would know how to handle her relationship with Guan Jing.

Seeing Su Ci arrive, Xie Yumin\'s cold face finally showed a smile, "You\'re here?"

"Your expression tells me you\'re surprised?" Su Ci sat down in the seat next to her.

Xie Yumin spoke frankly, "I thought you wouldn\'t come to film anymore."

Now that Su Ci\'s identity has been exposed online, everyone knows she is the daughter of the Su family. Netizens have been hotly discussing her, with all sorts of comments.

Today, Su Ci wore a honey-orange dress that made her skin look as white as snow. She slightly raised her chin and smiled, "The online comments can\'t hurt me."

She wouldn\'t stop recording just because some haters said nasty things.

Xie Yumin nodded. The daughter of the Su family has enough capital to be arrogant and capricious.

Over there, Guan Jing saw Su Ci arrive and hesitated whether to go over and chat with her. However, seeing Xie Yumin chatting and laughing with Su Ci, she was so angry that she almost broke her nails.

Xie Yumin somehow found out about the little tricks she had been playing behind the scenes. After a big fight with her, she moved out of the company\'s rented apartment.

Now, she and Xie Yumin are in an adversarial relationship. Seeing Xie Yumin attaching herself to the Su family\'s young lady, she couldn\'t bear it.

After hesitating for a while, Guan Jing finally got up and walked over to Su Ci. Her tone was somewhat flattering, "Miss Su Ci, I heard that Qin Shiyan is also a guest for today\'s recording."

Everyone in the industry knows that Qin Shiyan tried to ride on the Su family\'s coattails, and the Su family\'s young lady dislikes Qin Shiyan.

Su Ci looked at her.

Guan Jing seemed encouraged and was very proactive, "Qin Shiyan\'s actions are too annoying and disgusting. She deliberately stepped on you in the last two hot searches. I really couldn\'t stand it. If you\'re willing, I can help you get back at her later."

Xie Yumin, for the first time, realized how ugly her former friend\'s face was. She turned her head away, not wanting to see Guan Jing again. Every time she saw her, she only felt that she had been blind before.

Su Ci was speechless. Qin Shiyan\'s character had issues, and Guan Jing wasn\'t much better. "My business isn\'t something you should meddle in."

Her voice was cold, directly snubbing Guan Jing.

Guan Jing didn\'t expect Su Ci to be so direct. Feeling embarrassed, her smile stiffened. She secretly resented Su Ci\'s arrogance but could only sit back in her seat awkwardly.

The staff announced that the recording was about to start.

Su Ci walked into the recording studio and found that Qin Shiyan had already arrived. She was quietly sitting in her guest seat and politely greeted Su Ci and the other guests as they entered.

Her face was rosy, as if she wasn\'t the one who had been exposed as not the adopted daughter of the Su family, angering netizens and the company.

Even the cunning Guan Jing couldn\'t help but glance at Qin Shiyan a few times. She had expected to see Qin Shiyan in a miserable and haggard state, but instead, Qin Shiyan\'s mental resilience was so strong that she acted as if nothing had happened.

Guan Jing found such people the most terrifying.

Su Ci also had to admire Qin Shiyan\'s thick skin. She half-closed her eyes and sized up Qin Shiyan. She wasn\'t afraid of a troublesome opponent, but she was wary of an enemy who hid their knives behind a smile and had a meticulous mind.

Before the recording started, Qin Shiyan was still sitting next to Su Ci. She sincerely apologized to Su Ci, "CiCi, I\'m sorry. It was my fans who hurt you and made you unhappy."

She looked at Su Ci earnestly, "The company has taken all my resources and given them to others. My fans have also unfollowed me. I\'ve been punished. Will you forgive me?"

After Su Ci sent her a message scolding her for riding on the Su family\'s coattails and having no relation to the Su family, both the company and her fans were furious.

As a popular young actress, the company had arranged many resources for her. After this incident, the company was wary of her offending the Su family, so the resources originally meant for her were given to other artists. Her fans collectively unfollowed her, calling her a liar and launching a cyberbullying campaign against her. Many even waited downstairs at her company, throwing things at her.

During this time, except for the originally scheduled variety show and film roles, she stayed alone in the hotel, not daring to go anywhere.

She endured all this with gritted teeth.

The more others wanted to see her as a joke, the more she couldn\'t become one.

Qin Shiyan\'s tone was sincere, even pleading, "CiCi, can you forgive me and let me off?"

Everyone around them pricked up their ears, secretly enjoying the drama.

Before, Qin Shiyan was so glamorous, relying on the Su family and debuting to instant fame, with resources pouring in and easily pushing other artists aside. Everyone could only secretly resent and envy her.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shiyan had a fall from grace.

The little newcomer turned out to be the real heiress, while the fake heiress tried to suppress the real one but ended up suffering greatly.

Now, seeing the once-glamorous Qin Shiyan humbly begging for mercy in front of the Su family\'s young lady, everyone couldn\'t help but sigh.

Su Ci rested her chin on one hand and asked the director who had taken his seat, "Director, hasn\'t the recording started yet?"

She didn\'t even look at Qin Shiyan.

The director, being addressed, felt a pang of anxiety and quickly responded, "It\'s starting now, it\'s starting now."

Where on earth did that guy Many find this little ancestor? Initially, Su Ci was just a beautiful newcomer, but in the blink of an eye, she became an untouchable gold mine.

Completely ignored, Qin Shiyan\'s expression was a bit forlorn, but when the recording began, she quickly adjusted her facial expression.

The recording started, and the screen was quickly filled with flying comments.

"Finally, the live broadcast of this show. I\'m here to see the Su heiress."

"I\'m here for Su Ci."

"Su Ci is so beautiful. Is she wearing makeup today? I see the other female guests are all made up, but her face is so clean, not even eyeliner or eyeshadow."

"She\'s wearing no makeup! My friend is one of the crew members, and she told me Su Ci looks even more beautiful in person, with superb skin."

"Before, I mistakenly thought Su Ci was funded into the production, and the camera was using beauty filters for her. It turns out I was ignorant. She\'s a fairy who has been beautiful since childhood."

"I remember Qin Shiyan\'s crazy fans accusing the Su heiress of plastic surgery. Why aren\'t they speaking up now?"

I heard that the Su family has high looks, and Su Ci is so beautiful purely because of her parents\' good genes.

"Why is Qin Shiyan still here? Doesn\'t she feel awkward sitting next to Su Ci? Her fans also accused Su Ci of imitating her teardrop mole. I wonder if the fans\' faces hurt?"

"Qin Shiyan didn\'t have a teardrop mole before. It only appeared a few months ago. Clearly, she was imitating Su Ci. I\'m curious where her fans got the audacity to accuse Su Ci?"

"I always felt Qin Shiyan\'s teardrop mole was out of place, given her looks. Only her fans gushed about how nice it looked."

"No wonder I felt Qin Shiyan\'s teardrop mole was awkward. It\'s meant to be on a face like Su Ci\'s!"

"Woohoo, I also want to get a teardrop mole. Su Ci\'s mole is too beautiful."

"Enough said, Su Ci\'s divine beauty is blowing up."

...

Most of the people who questioned Su Ci\'s beauty were Qin Shiyan\'s fans. After Su Ci posted photos from her childhood to adulthood and proved her identity, Qin Shiyan\'s fans didn\'t dare to spray anymore.

Knowing that Su Ci hadn\'t had plastic surgery, wasn\'t using beauty filters, and was even wearing no makeup on camera, netizens were truly captivated by this face. Faced with such a beautiful face, who could resist not being moved?

Each person had a small eco-friendly grill in front of them, and long tables were set with plates of skewered meat.

The director announced, "This episode, we\'re grilling our own food."

Since the addition of Su Ci and Qin Shiyan as guests, the show has gone from being unremarkable and lacking buzz to attracting a large wave of traffic.

The director didn\'t care about the bickering between Su Ci and Qin Shiyan, as bickering meant heat.

The director had the staff help the guests set up their grills, "Grill whatever you want to eat."

Su Ci was glad it was just grilling and not cooking.

If she had to cook in front of so many netizens, she definitely wouldn\'t want to. After all, she had no cooking skills, and she didn\'t want to be flustered in front of so many people, damaging her image of beauty.

Su Ci casually took a few skewers of beef and placed them on the grill, waiting for them to cook.

Xie Yumin, Guan Jing, and Nan Yi all started grilling.

Grilling was no big deal for them; everyone had tried it at parties.

Nan Yi, in particular, was very skilled at flipping the skewers, which sizzled with oil.

"Who burned their food?" The director, busy with work, smelled something burning.

Su Ci felt a bit embarrassed, "Mine." The beef on the grill was completely blackened.

"CiCi, you\'ve never grilled anything before, let me help you. Here, I\'ve already grilled this, you can eat it first," Qin Shiyan said beside her, placing the grilled meat skewers on a porcelain plate and handing it to Su Ci.

She grilled it very well, the skewers brushed with honey sauce, golden in color, glistening with oil, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, extremely tempting.

"Wow, I really want to eat it. To be honest, Qin Shiyan\'s grilling skills are really good."

"Su Ci is a rich young lady, how would she know how to do these things? Usually, the servants at home prepare everything for her."

"Now I finally understand how to distinguish between a real rich girl and a fake foster daughter. They are separated by a barbecue."

"So what if Qin Shiyan\'s grilling skills are good? She has a crooked mind, lies without batting an eye."

"Why do I feel Qin Shiyan is so humble? It seems like she\'s trying to curry favor with Su Ci."

"The one before, be bolder, remove the \'seems,\' she is indeed currying favor with Su Ci."

"What\'s wrong with currying favor with Su Ci? I\'d also like to cling to the leg of the Su family\'s young lady."

"I don\'t cling to legs, I\'d be a leg hair for Su Ci, look at me, I can grill for you every day."

"Who would want to eat Qin Shiyan\'s stuff? Su Ci, don\'t eat it, I can make it for you."

...

Then, the netizens saw Su Ci directly refuse Qin Shiyan\'s meat skewers.

"You can eat mine." Beside her, Xie Yumin handed a skewer of grilled lamb to Su Ci, "It doesn\'t look very good, but the taste should be okay."

"Okay, thank you." Su Ci accepted Xie Yumin\'s skewer.

Su Ci refused Qin Shiyan but accepted Xie Yumin\'s, her attitude towards Qin Shiyan was very clear.

Rejected, Qin Shiyan\'s expression was forlorn, she quietly continued grilling.

At this moment, staff pushed a small cart in.

The director smiled, "I also specially prepared sugar water for everyone."

The staff served sugar water to each guest.

When the staff served the sugar water to Su Ci, he slipped, spilling the entire bowl of sugar water on the ground.

He was so scared that he quickly apologized, "I\'m sorry, I\'m sorry..." He had heard that this one was the young lady of the Su family, not to be offended.

Su Ci was not injured, she looked at the staff who was panicking and found it amusing, was she that scary? "I\'m fine, you don\'t need to be nervous."

The director asked the staff to refill a bowl.

"There are clean bowls and chopsticks here." Qin Shiyan smiled and told the staff.

"Thank you." The staff quickly took the bowl and refilled a bowl of sugar water for Su Ci.

Su Ci couldn\'t grill, so she decided not to try and just ate the sugar water prepared by the program team.

The recording studio was filled with the aroma of grilled food, the recording was about to end, and the food on the long table was almost eaten up by the guests.

Beside her, Su Ci scratched her neck again, she felt itchy.

Su Ci frowned, what was going on?

Soon, her face also began to itch, she couldn\'t help but want to scratch.

Suddenly, her head also started to itch, Su Ci was stunned.

Were her rabbit ears coming out?

In the recording studio, Su Ci suddenly stood up, "I\'m not feeling well."

With that, she quickly walked out, leaving everyone and the netizens in shock.

Su Ci ran back to the restroom quickly, locking the door behind her.

Her face was itchy, her head was itchy.

What was going on?

After a while, Su Ci felt the rabbit ears on her head, she opened the front camera of her phone, and saw herself with a pair of rabbit ears on her head, and red rashes on her face.

She was shocked, her eyes wide, what was happening?

Su Ci immediately called Lu Zhe, asking him to come and pick her up, then she called her brother Su ZhiYuan, asking him to control the situation.

The other guests came out of the recording studio and found Su Ci locked herself in the restroom.

No matter who knocked on the door, she didn\'t open it.

It was unclear how long it had been, a tall young man walked over, the crowd still wondering who this new rising star was, looking so outstanding.

The young man knocked on the door twice, whispering something.

The next second, the door opened, and the handsome young man was pulled in.

Aliali: 6756d87fbd5e46c308ce46df

The door was closed again.

"What is Miss Su playing at?" Guan Jing sneered.

"Whatever she\'s doing, it\'s none of your business. I advise you to mind your own mouth," Xie Yumin said coldly and left.

Guan Jing was choked with anger, "You..."

Inside, Su Ci wore a hat and a mask, only revealing a pair of dark eyes, "Lu Zhe."

Her voice was choked with tears.

Lu Zhe rushed over in a hurry, his breathing a bit unsteady, "What happened?"

Su Ci took off her hat, revealing a pair of snow-white, fluffy rabbit ears, then she took off her mask, revealing many red rashes on her fair little face.

Su Ci couldn\'t help but cough a few times, "My face is so itchy."

Woo, she had turned into an ugly rabbit spirit!
