Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit Chapter 225

There was one last candidate who shared the same profession as her, both graduates of the medical school.

Currently working at the National X Laboratory as a senior engineer.

Reading through these resumes, she had to admit that Lu’s mother was right about them being high-quality stocks.

However, Lu Jing had no interest whatsoever.

If she really was interested, that Jiang fellow would probably have to rush back overnight.

"Mom, let’s not, I’m currently..."

She hadn’t finished her sentence when she was interrupted by Lu’s mother:

"Don’t tell me you’re still not considering it, girl. You’re twenty-seven, almost twenty-eight, how can you be so untroubled?"

The anxiety was killing her parents.

She had been abroad before, which went without saying, but now that she had returned to Jing City, naturally, she had to follow the local trends.

Capitalist lifestyles don’t fly here in our country.

Lu Jing felt that the best course of action was to get away as soon as possible.

"Mom, I’m going out to buy some things."

She had long known her cousin was getting married, but Lu Jing had always been too busy to go shopping for a wedding gift for Lu Li.

Today, having no other plans, she thought it might be nice to take a stroll.

Lu’s mother naturally didn’t persist:

"Are you going alone?" she asked.

"My sister-in-law and cousin don’t have time to accompany me."

She wasn’t a three-year-old girl who needed to be chaperoned by adults.

Lu Jing left the house, driving her father’s car, an old black Audi A6, which must be about ten years old.

It would be hard for many people to believe.

A member of the Lu Family driving the same old car for ten years?

In reality, not just Mr. Lu but other members of the Lu Family, like Third Uncle Lu, her cousin Lu Yan, and her cousin Lu Li, including Lu Jing herself, they all refrained from being extravagant and lavish, keeping a low profile.

After all, the Lu Family had seen tough times.

So to be safe, they thought ahead.

Better to spend the money on something worthwhile.

The car wasn’t fast, in fact, it was going very slowly.

The roads of Jing City hadn’t changed, but the buildings around had been almost completely replaced.

For example, the old church was now a dance studio.

The former pool hall had become a dental clinic.

Skyscrapers soared, both majestic and magnificent.

Eventually, she parked in the parking lot of a well-established shopping center.

Lu Jing was fairly familiar with this place.

Perhaps because it was early, there weren’t many people, just a few visitors scattered around, and employees of the luxury stores were seen cleaning.

But, Lu Jing had no intention of entering these stores.

Bags, jewelry, accessories, etc., her cousin didn’t lack any of these things.

Plus, to give such gifts would really lack personal touch, wouldn’t it?

So, Lu Jing wanted to find a more heartfelt wedding gift.

However, after several rounds of looking, she hadn’t found anything that caught her eye.

Just then, her phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was that person again.

"Wife, what are you up to?"

"Shopping this early?"

It was just past nine, and on days off, she normally wouldn’t have even been awake yet.

Lu Jing rolled her eyes:

"None of your business. What do you want?"

She was busy, after all.

On the phone, Jiang Ye chuckled twice:

"Your cousin is getting married tomorrow, and you’re out shopping. Are you planning to buy her a gift?" he asked.

Lu Jing couldn’t help but look around, had this man installed a surveillance device on her?
