Outside the dormitory building of Nanxi University Affiliated Hospital, Lu Jing slowly drove in and found a place to park.
Who knew, the moment he alighted from the car, an acquaintance spotted him:
"Doctor Lu bought a car?"
"No, it’s a friend’s."
The person in front of him was one of Lu Jing’s dorm mates, Dr. Tan Xiaofeng from the emergency department, and can be considered Lu Jing’s senior.
Dr. Tan Xiaofeng took a closer look and then sniffed around Lu Jing.
"Dr. Tan, what are you doing?"
Looking and sniffing around, it was quite eerie.
"Doctor Lu, I can smell it, you reek of the stench of love!"
Lu Jing quickly took a step back:
"Dr. Tan, where did you get that idea from? Do I?"
"Then tell me, why didn’t you come home last night?"
Almost burst out laughing.
Why was everyone around him so perceptive?
Just one night away from home had been noticed.
One really shouldn’t do bad things!
"Alright, alright, no more questions. When you have time, bring her over for us to meet, we’ll help you check her out."
"Check her out"? What was that about?
I seemed to have heard it in college, but never experienced it myself, so, naturally, I was curious.
But Dr. Tan was busy going to work and didn’t have time to explain, so she hurried off.
Lu Jing pondered over this the entire way, but didn’t figure it out by the time he got back to his dorm room.
With nothing else to do and it still being early, he lay down on the bed to catch up on some sleep.
When he woke up, it was already past noon.
The phone by his pillow had two unread messages, both from the same person.
He had intended to call.
But Lu Jing had accidentally set his phone to silent, so he hadn’t heard it ring.
Upon seeing the content of the messages, Lu Jing’s emotions became complex.
They were almost entirely filled with various kinds of worrying instructions, like not to eat what shouldn’t be eaten, to take medicine on time, and to take care of his health.
The medicine would be delivered tomorrow, and after that, Aunt Li would prepare it daily on time. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fıre·net
If he was busy, it could even be delivered directly to his department.
In essence, it meant one thing: this matter was settled, and Lu Jing had no right to object!
When did this person become so naggy?
He hadn’t seen it before.
Just then, the phone suddenly vibrated, and upon seeing the caller ID, he was startled:
"You girl, how come you haven’t called home for several days?"
It was clear that Lu’s mother was genuinely worried about her daughter.
"I really forgot, sorry, sorry, I’ll definitely remember from now on, okay, Mom?"
"I hope you really will remember, and that matter with the little girl, how long are you planning to drag it out?
Last time you said you’d explain after work, where’s the explanation?"
Lu Jing slapped his forehead: he had genuinely forgotten about it.
"Ahem, Mom, Yaoyao is my goddaughter, and everyone else just follows others blindly, right?"
"Yes, she’s my best friend’s daughter from abroad, four years old this year, very cute."
"Girl, are you sure you aren’t deceiving me?"
Lu Jing couldn’t help but laugh:
"Mom, what good would deceiving you do me?"
Hearing this, Lu’s mother finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"Having your assurance, I can explain it to people, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to say anything."
Lu Jing of course understood:
"Mom, do a lot of people talk to you about this?" he asked.
"Most people just ask and leave it at that, but that woman, Jiang Qiu, said some really ugly things!"
Jiang Qiu, the adopted daughter of the Jiang family.
Though adopted, her status in the Jiang family was even better than that of their own children.
Mentioning this person, Lu Jing’s expression turned cold:
"Hasn’t she always been ? When we were kids, she often warned us privately not to associate with Jiang Ye, claiming the Jiang Family was too high for us!"
Lu’s mother certainly knew about this, not just her, but the entire Lu Family.
Thus, even during those difficult years, the cousin never once asked Jiang Ye for help.
