The next morning.
Lu Bai did not have the self-awareness of an " internet celebrity " at all. In the morning, he got up and made a three-yuan instant noodles and two vegetable leaves. After a casual breakfast, he took the bus to the Third Mental Hospital of the Imperial Capital, which was also located in the suburbs.
"Xiao Bai, you're here to see Mommy again?"
"Yes…"
Because Lu Bai came here often, the nurses and doctors in the hospital had a deep impression of this handsome boy who always had a cold expression on his face. As time passed, they became familiar with him.
These hospital staff had more or less heard about Lu Bai's family. Although they admired Lu Bai for being brave enough to bear the huge debt of 600 million yuan from his family at the age of 20, they secretly felt that Lu Bai was indulging in wishful thinking.
That was 600 million! Even if Lu Bai was young, he might not be able to repay the money in his next life.
After Lu Bai walked to the ward, the two nurses started chatting.
"Hey, did you listen to the song 'Lonely Brave'?”
"Four times! I'm crying from listening to it, eh? Speaking of which, the author of Lone Hero seems to be called Lu Bai as well. Could it be..."
"Uh, it should be just the same name. I even followed Lu Bai's Weibo.”
"That's true. The internet says that talented people are usually ugly. That Lu Bai is definitely not as handsome as our Xiao Bai.”
"Sigh, what a pity. Xiao Bai is quite handsome and responsible. It's just that our family has too much debt. Who would dare to find a boyfriend like him? That's 600 million yuan. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy…"
In ward 13, a thin woman in a striped hospital gown was sitting by the bed and looking out the window. Her face was haggard and her hair was disheveled. Her eyes were fixed on the window, and it was obvious that she was not normal.
However, from her facial features, it could be seen that this woman should have been very beautiful when she was young.
At this moment, the doctor in the white coat reminded him with a pleasant expression.
"Sister Li, your son is here to see you!”
That's right, this crazy female patient was the biological mother of Lu Bai's body. Because her husband committed suicide, her family owed a huge debt and became mentally unstable. She was admitted to a mental hospital.
Hearing the doctor's words, Ms. Li turned around and looked coldly at Lu Bai, who was behind the doctor, and said in an indifferent tone.
"He is not my son."
Lu Bai, who was holding a fruit in his hand, could not help but be shocked when he heard this. After all, strictly speaking, he was indeed not Madam Li's son. He was just an imposter who had taken over the magpie's nest.
Could it be that the telepathy between mother and son had allowed this seemingly crazy woman to sense that Lu Bai was actually an imposter? If he thought about it further, could it be that Ms. Li was deliberately pretending to be crazy to avoid debt?
Hiss.
Lu Bai was terrified. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. After all, the Lu family was once a billionaire. To be able to marry a billionaire, other than her looks, her brain must not be too bad.
However, Madam Li was a psychopath now, so no matter what she said, people would think that she was crazy. Therefore, when she said that Lu Bai was not her son, the doctor did not take it to heart at all. He only chuckled and said.
"Sister Li, take a closer look. How can this not be your son?”
However, this time, Ms. Li ignored the doctor and turned to look out the window without looking back.
"Doctor, it's fine. I'll accompany her for a while.”
"Oh, okay. Xiao Bai, you can bring her out to the lawn to relax. But if she has any abnormal reactions, you have to call a nurse or a doctor immediately.”
"Oh, okay."
The reason why Lu Bai often came to the hospital to visit her was because he wanted to show filial piety to the original host. Although this biological mother did not acknowledge him, it was better than nothing. After all, the mental hospital was a repressive and closed environment. Even a good person would go crazy if he was confined in there every day.
The weather was not good. Lu Bai was about to bring Mother Lu out for a walk when the weather outside changed. It began to drizzle. Helplessly, Lu Bai had to borrow two umbrellas from the nurse before leaving.
However, just as Lu Bai and his wife were about to leave the house, Mother Lu suddenly said in a low voice without looking back.
"600 million, how are you going to pay it back?"
Hearing this, Lu Bai was shocked again because this tone did not sound like the tone of a mental patient!
Could it be that his previous guess was right? Mother Lu wasn't sick at all. She was just pretending to be crazy to avoid a huge debt?
Did Mother Lu really see through Lu Bai's fake identity?
However, after saying this, Mrs. Lu held the umbrella and went out without looking back. She ran all the way to the lawn outside and squatted down without moving. No one knew what she was doing.
That crazy behavior made Lu Bai wonder if he had heard wrongly. Helpless, he could only chase after her and squat beside her with an umbrella.
"Um, Mom, what did you just say?”
Lu Bai asked tentatively, but Mother Lu completely ignored him. She just squatted on the lawn with an umbrella in her hand. Lu Bai did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this, so he could only squat with her.
After the two of them squatted side by side for five to six minutes, Mother Lu suddenly turned her head and asked with a wooden expression.
"Are you a mushroom too?"
Lu Bai: "???"
I'm the dividing line of the umbrella
"Xiao Bai, why did you turn off your phone for the entire morning?”
On the crowded subway, Lu Bai held the railing with one hand and the phone with the other. On the other end of the phone was the slightly irritable voice of Zhang Yadong from the wheat field music company.
"Uh, I'm sorry. My phone froze last night, so I managed to fix it.”
Lu Bai's words rendered Zhang Yadong speechless.
To be honest, Zhang Yadong had long disliked Lu Bai's outdated 1,000 yuan old phone. It was hard to believe that Lu Bai could persist in using a broken old phone for so long in this era where young people had to use good phones even when they were weak.
Zhang Yadong really wanted to give Lu Bai the latest phone. He could even get ten of them. However, ever since he gave Lu Bai a new computer, Zhang Yadong felt that it was inappropriate.
With Lu Bai's income of four million yuan in half a year, although most of the money was used to pay off debts, it was not difficult to change to a similar phone. However, he still chose to live frugally and even a somewhat shabby lifestyle.
This was Lu Bai's own choice. The company could increase the remuneration to express goodwill, but if they kept giving things, it would feel like they were giving alms to others.
Lu Bai had always had a cold poker face, so no one could figure out his personality. Therefore, when dealing with Lu Bai, everyone in the wheat field could not help but be careful, afraid that Lu Bai would run away if something went wrong.
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Zhang Yadong suppressed his impulse and said,"
"Xiao Bai, the first thing is that there are already five companies that have come to discuss the copyright purchase plan for Lone Brave with us. CEO Song knows that you don't like to participate in such matters, so he asked me to tell you to rest assured that the company will definitely make the most reasonable copyright plan.”
"The second thing…Can you update your Weibo? Your new fans are going crazy. They're starting to browse our company's official Weibo again. They're saying that if you don't update, they'll give the company's works low marks and bad reviews…"
Lu Bai was speechless.
