"What?"

I held onto my phone tightly, still not recovered.

On the other end, Luo Mu was roaring, "Xi Ru committed suicide! It's all because of you! If anything happens to her, I will never let you off!"

The call was quickly disconnected, leaving me speechless.

I didn't do anything wrong, so why did Wen Xi Ru have to cling to me like a plaster?

Shen Ning was away on a business trip, but upon hearing about the incident, she quickly came to urge me.

"Yi Zhu, you need to hurry to the hospital where that despicable woman is, to prevent her from getting reporters to tarnish your name."

When I rushed to the hospital, there was already a crowd gathered outside Wen Xi Ru's ward.

Shen Ning's guess was right; I was once again a step too late.

Fortunately, I had discreetly worn a mask and a hat before leaving, so no one recognized me. I could observe the situation from the outskirts of the crowd.

Wen Xi Ru lay pale in bed, with Luo Mu by her side, his eyes red.

Facing a group of journalists, Wen Xi Ru couldn't help but cry, covering her eyes with her hands as tears silently fell.

It conveniently revealed the five-carat diamond ring Luo Mu had given her and the bandage on her right wrist from the suicide attempt.

"I... I don't understand why Jiang Yi Zhu just won't let me go. I'm already suffering from depression, and she even hired people to cyberbully me."

"I couldn't bear it, so I attempted suicide, but I couldn't bear to leave Mu Ze. Mu Ze, I'm sorry! I was too impulsive and made you worry again."

Her eyes were red from crying, looking weak and aggrieved.

I thought to myself, Luo Mu probably wishes he could tear me apart right now.

After catching her breath, Wen Xi Ru began to pour out her grievances.

"Three years ago, the Jiang family's malicious competition bankrupted my family. Jiang Yi Zhu even hired people to kidnap me on my way home, and I only managed to escape after struggling."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, displaying the scars on her hands to everyone.

"I was originally a student of Teacher Wei Lang, but now I can't even pick up a paintbrush because of her."

"Even my last painting was used by her to publicly humiliate me and was burned!"

The crowd instantly became agitated.

"What? Miss Wen was actually a student of Teacher Wei Lang? Teacher Wei Lang never takes on disciples publicly. If this is true, it's such a pity..."

The Wei Lang teacher mentioned by Wen Xi Ru was a renowned international painter, and becoming his disciple was the dream of all artists.

Was Wen Xi Ru just dreaming?

I remember the teacher only took me as his disciple!
