In the kitchen, the last main dish was still boiling in the pot—spicy boiled fish.
Lu Jing had just reached out to serve the dish when he was stopped by Mrs. Qin:
"Don’t touch it, it’s all talk. When Old Qin and the others come back, they’ll handle it."
Lu Jing looked at Mrs. Qin, puzzled.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you so earnest?"
"Pulling you in here was just to talk about something, it wasn’t convenient outside," she whispered.
Finally, he understood.
"Is there something you want to tell me, sister-in-law?" he asked.
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin still let out a sigh before speaking:
"Well, sister-in-law, let me apologize to you first!
I mean, it’s your first time coming to our house, and as your sister-in-law, I’ve caused such an upsetting situation, I really am sorry."
Another few sighs followed.
Lu Jing was confused. What was going on?
"Sister-in-law, could there be some mistake?" he asked.
Mrs. Qin took Lu Jing’s hand again:
"No mistake, sister-in-law. I truly didn’t know about you and Captain Jiang, so I invited Wei Lin to our home for dinner this afternoon.
By the time Old Qin told me, it was too late to do anything about it.
If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have invited Wei Lin over."
Look at how awkward it’s gotten now, right?
Thinking about it, Old Qin probably called Captain Jiang out to apologize in private first.
The couple always handled things quite well; naturally, they didn’t have bad relationships with people.
After understanding, Lu Jing didn’t quite know how to respond for a while. It wasn’t easy to explain such things to outsiders.
"Sister-in-law, it’s really okay. I heard from Jiang Ye that Miss Wei is your colleague, which is quite normal," he said.
Mrs. Qin, seeing that Lu Jing truly didn’t mind, finally relaxed:
"Yes, both Wei Lin and Fu Xue are from our department. Oh, by the way, I heard that you, sister-in-law, are a doctor at the neighboring affiliated hospital?"
Mrs. Qin was momentarily surprised:
"That’s really tiring, and you often can’t accompany your family."
In orthopedics, you could need to perform surgeries at any time. Just standing for several hours for a single surgery, with your mind highly focused, was not something everyone could handle.
"It seems, sister-in-law, that you really do department."
Otherwise, why would a delicate girl...
Orthopedic surgery really requires physical strength!
Electric saws, drills, hammers—you have to wield them all, regardless of whether you’re male or female.
That’s why they say, female doctors in orthopedics are as rare as male gynecologists.
Meanwhile, downstairs.
Old Qin had already found his son and was now eagerly following behind the two of them.
"I’ll say, Old Jiang, you’re quite the player, I saw everything this afternoon!"
Jiang Ye immediately realized:
"Instructor Qin, can you keep your thoughts clean?"
How could someone in charge of political propaganda and team morale even think of those things?
"Then explain, those wounds on your chest, and the knife on the ground, what’s that all about?" Orıginal content can be found at novel_fіre.net
"If I say I stabbed myself, would you believe it?"
"Well, there you have it."
It was the truth, but no one would probably believe it if he said it out loud.
Old Qin did not have the bad taste to pry into others’ personal matters:
"That Doctor Lu, she’s the one you’ve been waiting for six years for?"
"Man, Old Jiang, you move fast."
Just before, you claimed the girl wouldn’t forgive you, and now, it hasn’t been that long, and you’ve already brought her home.
