Chapter 351: Chapter 351 What Does Kyoto Look Like_1
The name struck Lu Jingyi like a bomb, leaving her stumped and dim-witted. She let her gaze fall and forget to even blink.
This was the name of her biological mother according to Lin Xiao.
Didn’t Wan Hui hate Wan Ping? Why would she still associate with them?
“Yes.” Lu Jianjun didn’t hide anything. There was no need to; as a soldier, he could easily get this matter investigated. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
How could Lu Zhendong not know Wan Hui?
They were both unaware that some things simply couldn’t stand scrutiny – both were stubborn in their own ways.
But wasn’t this exactly what Lin Xiao had counted on?
“That incident from back then…”
Lu Jianjun cut him off assertively. “I don’t know anything about that incident. If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my unit now.” Without looking back, Lu Jianjun departed hastily.
Watching his son’s retreating figure, Lu Zhendong sighed, feeling his son’s inability to forgive him.
“Give your brother some time, Xiaojing,” he advised.
Lu Jingyi snapped back to reality, forcing a guilty smile. “Dad, I’m fine. I can be discharged already. Can you arrange for my discharge?”
Lu Zhendong nodded, his voice gentle. “Okay, okay. Let’s get you discharged.”
Lu Jianjun, on his way out of the hospital, bumped into someone unintentionally.
“Watch where you’re going,” said the other person gruffly.
Lu Jianjun immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Lu Jianjun turned to face the person he had run into. “It’s you, the nurse.”
The nurse shot Lu Jianjun a disdainful look. “I have a name, you know. Weren’t you in Magic City? Why are you in Kyoto now?”
“Why are you in Kyoto?” Lu Jianjun had seen her many times during his frequent hospital visits, when she had been assigned to care for his commander. He had always assumed she worked at the Magic City hospital. So why was she now at the Kyoto hospital?
“I transferred to the Kyoto hospital,” the nurse replied cheerily. “Actually, I moved here together with my uncle.”
“I have business to attend to.” Lu Jianjun was in no mood for idle chit-chat.
“In future, don’t call me ‘that nurse’. I have a name – Zhou Rui.” Zhou Rui called out to Lu Jianjun’s retreating figure.
Seeing that he simply ignored her and went on his way, she shrugged it off and got back to her duties.
After her discharge, Lu Jingyi returned to the living quarters arranged for her by Lu Zhendong, not wanting to raise any suspicions.
“Dad, you can go back to work. You’ve been off for quite a few days. I’ll also be going back to work tomorrow.” From now on, she needed to hold onto her job and save up money – and obtain the money Lin Xiao owed her.
“Okay, okay, our little Jing has grown up,” Lu Zhendong said fondly, patting his daughter’s head. This illness seemed to have made her significantly more mature.
“As for older brother, I’m not in a hurry. I’m confident that he’ll accept me with time.”
Contented, Lu Zhendong left.
Meng Yunhan and Old Zhao returned to the town with the child, carrying their belongings.
“Old Zhao, you guys are back.”
Leading Little Huzi by the hand, Old Zhao replied jubilantly, “Yes, we’re back. It’s summer break, so we decided to return.”
“Old Zhao, you’ve been to Kyoto. What’s it like?” Many people in the town had never been to Kyoto, so naturally, they were curious about Old Zhao’s experience.
“I’ll share with you some other time.”
Little Huzi was docile. He walked quietly by his grandfather’s side, not causing any fuss or whining to be carried.
Upon arriving home, they let Little Huzi play in the yard while Old Zhao and Meng Yunhan began tidying up the house.
It was a long process that took up most of the day. When they got hungry, they made do with a little bit of noodles.
By the time they were done cleaning the house, it was already getting dark, and Little Huzi was already up from his nap.
