Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The Person You Don’t Want, She Treasures as a Gem
“I really don’t know, I just heard about it. And the hospital is making some big moves lately. They’re planning to high-salary poach talent and even plan to bring in a kidney specialist from abroad for consultations. Miss Lu, I’ll let you know when the time comes.”
“Thank you for that,” Lu Wanwan said, grateful.
“This is the first time I’ve heard of money being returned after it’s been paid out. What’s with the new investor?” Xu Yuan was curious.
“Come on, Dean Wang is that kind of person too, right?”
She speculated, “Do you think this might be someone like a former student of Dean Wang’s, specially entrusted by him?”
Lu Wanwan nodded, “Very likely. I’ve called Dean Wang’s family. Dean Wang was recently sent abroad for treatment. I plan to visit him when he returns to the country to recuperate.”
The two chattered on as they prepared to leave the hospital.
“Lu Kexin, who let you in?” Before Lu Wanwan could leave, she saw a woman with a double-C bag inside the hospital.
Lu Kexin was startled, not expecting to run into her, “Sis, what a coincidence.”
“Thought it was someone else. Isn’t that the drag-along?” Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Lu Kexin was irritated but didn’t dare to confront a fight master.
“Lu Kexin, don’t tell me you’re here to see the doctor,” Lu Wanwan asked bluntly.
Over the past few years, whenever Lu Kexin felt unwell, she always went to high-end private hospitals like Saint Mary’s Hospital, never this place. So, there were concerns about her impure motives.
“I’m just here to visit a friend. So sis, you can rest assured,” Lu Kexin said innocently, “I don’t even know what you’re worried about. I’m getting engaged and have a lot of things to keep me busy. I don’t have time to meddle in other people’s affairs.”
Xu Yuan chuckled sarcastically, “Engaged? Who’s so blind?”
Lu Kexin lifted her chin, “Sister Xu, it’s not nice to say Mr. Gu is blind.”
“It’s Gu Annan. Didn’t my sister tell you?” Lu Kexin covered her mouth in surprise, “I thought you two shared everything.”
Xu Yuan’s brows tightened as she glanced at Lu Wanwan and realized it was true.
“No point in chit-chatting with you guys, I’ve got lots to prepare for. By the way, you’re going to attend my engagement, right?” Lu Kexin asked with a deliberate smile, “After all, we’re family. You can’t miss such an important event. If it’s alright with you, then I’m off, goodbye.”
Watching that smug retreating figure, Xu Yuan ground her teeth, “That wretched girl did it on purpose. You treated her so well back then, and she stabs you in the back at the first opportunity, trying to snatch away everything you like! Disgusting! But Wanwan, could there be some mistake? If Gu Annan is getting engaged, it should be with you, not her, right?”
Xu Yuan remembered clearly the look on Gu Annan’s face when he stood up to Ling Xiaoxue’s people that day.
It definitely seemed like there was a chance. If it had been back when they were still in school, Lu Wanwan would have definitely secured him!
Unfortunately, times have changed, and if she didn’t like Gu Annan, there was no point in fighting with Lu Kexin over an engagement just for the sake of competition.
“There’s no mistake. Let’s not talk about this,” Lu Wanwan said curtly, frowning nonchalantly.
“Just watching that little bitch strut around makes me so angry,” Xu Yuan shook her head as they walked, “Forget it. If you don’t want him, let her treasure the trash. It’s laughable.”
Their voices faded as they moved further away.
“Mr. Gu, everything has been arranged. That looked like Miss Lu up ahead, do you…” Zhao Chen, who came back with documents in hand, stopped mid-sentence as the sudden drop in temperature froze him.
