Lu Fanghua

Biodata

Background / History

After Lu Fan's parents died, Lu Fanghua became his sole dependable family support. She protected and provided for him throughout the period when he was considered foolish, preventing him from being left destitute. Lu Fan's father had also entrusted her with enough cash to sustain him lavishly for life. 4

As principal of Dragon University, Lu Fanghua arranged exceptional protection and accommodation for Lu Fan: he received a faculty dormitory to himself and professor-level treatment. Her intervention also had serious consequences for anyone who physically harmed him; a prior attacker was reported for campus bullying, lost their educational opportunity, and was imprisoned. 4 13

When Lu Fan revealed that his mind had cleared, Lu Fanghua recognized the change in his lucid speech and clear eyes. She was overwhelmed with relief, affirming that she would remain his strongest support and transferring one million yuan to him after learning he intended to pursue repayment from those who had deceived him. 4

Lu Fanghua later continued to welcome Lu Fan at her villa, accepted a handbag he bought for her, and prepared family dinners. She invited Bai Linglong to dinner and attempted to introduce her to Lu Fan, believing the two might suit each other. 42 43 44

• Wears professional attire at work, including a white professional skirt. 4
• Often wears a floral apron while cooking at home. 42

Personality

Lu Fanghua is deeply protective and affectionate toward Lu Fan. She worries about his meals, money, clothing, friendships, and ability to care for himself; she filled his wardrobe with clothes and shoes and instructed him to use a laundry hamper for dirty clothes. 4 10

Her affection does not make her naive. She is aware that Lu Fan's classmates have repeatedly deceived him and had intended to settle those matters herself once they graduated. Upon learning of his recovery, she instead supported his wish to handle the claims personally. 4

She is also emotionally affected by the burden of protecting Lu Fan. After he leaves her office with the transferred money, she breaks down crying over the hardships and grievances she endured while safeguarding him. 4
