Afterwards, Lu Mian asked some more questions about the surgical plan and details, and basically had a good grasp of what to expect.
She comforted Fu Yu a few words.
Fu Yu wasn’t worried about the medical skills or the efficacy of the special medicine, but he was concerned that the surgery costs would be too expensive and put pressure on Lu Mian.
He beat around the bush a few times, but Lu Mian didn’t reveal any information to him, which made Fu Yu even more anxious. However, he didn’t know who else to ask.
"Mianmian, there’s really nothing much with me, and you still have school. Why don’t you go back first?"
Lu Mian laughed, "If I leave, who’s going to sign the consent form for your surgery?"
"You..." Fu Yu was increasingly helpless, "I’m your uncle, how come you’re taking care of me now?"
Lu Mian shrugged her shoulders.
Seeing Lu Mian, Ya Ling thought to himself, this girl, that’s just how she is. Although the youngest, she would go to great lengths to care for those around her. She was always like a superhero, tirelessly running around for the people she cared about.
"Little uncle, just focus on your surgery."
Lu Mian finally reminded Fu Yu of a few things to be mindful of, and Xiao Qimo said that the special medicine would soon arrive in Jinjing and she had to personally pick it up. Only then did Lu Mian say goodbye to Fu Yu.
As the two were walking down the stairs, Lu Mian happened to meet Shen Yixin who had come to the hospital.
Shen Yixin was still the image of gentle propriety, greeting them generously,
Xiao Qimo nodded coolly in response.
"Miss Shen, thank you," Lu Mian sincerely expressed her gratitude.
Shen Yixin, with her insightful mind, instantly understood the meaning behind Lu Mian’s words and smiled softly, "If it weren’t for you bringing the special medicine, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity. Miss Lu, we’re even now."
Lu Mian returned with an open and honest smile, "Okay, we’re even now."
"Are you in a hurry to leave?" Shen Yixin asked.
"Yeah, I need to pick up the shipment. Let’s talk another day."
Lu Mian spoke succinctly and had only taken a few steps when Shen Yixin hesitantly called out to her with a bite of her lip, "Miss Lu!"
Lu Mian turned back, puzzled.
Seeing that Shen Yixin seemed to have something to say and not being particularly interested in their girlish topics, Xiao Qimo took a few steps ahead and called Mo Nie to come to the entrance to pick them up.
Shen Yixin slowly approached, her eyes shyly fixed on Lu Mian, she inquired softly, "Miss Lu, you know Mr. Mi Lu, right?"
Lu Mian had previously mentioned something about Mr. Mi Lu to Shen Yixin, who had kept it in mind.
Lu Mian paused, "Not really."
"It’s okay," Shen Yixin thought Lu Mian might not find it convenient to say and quickly continued, "I mean... I don’t mean anything by it, it’s just that the music festival in August is already being prepared. If you happen to know Mr. Mi Lu, could you please remind him? A lot of people are looking forward to his appearance..."
"..." Lu Mian, seeing the star-filled look in Shen Yixin’s eyes, sighed, "Miss Shen, what I said before..."
"Miss Lu, I have something else to attend to, I’ll be leaving first!"
Seemingly not wanting to hear anymore, Shen Yixin promptly turned and hurried into the elevator.
Lu Mian stood in place, her lips parting slightly, and had no choice but to swallow back the rest of her words.
Xiao Qimo came back over, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing." Lu Mian glanced warily towards the man beside her and muttered, "Sorry."
Just apologize first.
Xiao Qimo, thinking she was apologizing for having ignored him for that brief moment earlier, gently ruffled the girl’s hair, his tone warm, "What are you talking about, I’m not so petty as to not have that much tolerance."
Mo Nie drove the car, taking Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian to the Jinjing Expressway Station to pick up the cargo.
This batch of cargo was the first batch of RE Factor refined by Netherman, personally escorted all the way from the farm by Mo Fan, who treated it with utmost importance.
Such a healing-class miracle drug, which had only existed in theory and had never been seen before, was officially leaving the farm laboratory and making its appearance to the world.
Anyone aware of its value understood that once the RE Factor was introduced, it could shake the entire medical field.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the expressway station, and Mo Fan had just reached the station as well.
Mo Fan handed over a precious metal thermal-insulated safe with a combination lock to Mo Nie, then clasped his fists towards Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian.
"Mr. Mo, Miss Lu, mission accomplished, and it has been delivered safely," he said.
With that, Mo Fan let out a huge sigh of relief; he finally found his sense of purpose.
Helping to escort something was still within his capabilities.
Lu Mian patted Mo Fan on the shoulder with familiarity, a face full of gratification: "Hard work. Why don’t you stay in Jinjing for a couple more days? Why the rush to leave?"
After coming down from the expressway and delivering the goods, Mo Fan was going to turn back immediately; his schedule was very tight.
That’s why Lu Mian and the others came directly to the highway to pick up the cargo.
Mo Fan shook his head, somewhat helplessly, "Isn’t it because of the business with the Chixia Sect and the Mercenary Alliance..."
After saying a few words, he chuckled, "It’s okay, Miss Lu. Mainly because I have a mission this time, next time I have a chance, we can spar!"
"Oh?" Lu Mian raised her eyebrows, her interest piqued immediately, "We could spar now, and it wouldn’t be impossible. Don’t worry, it won’t delay you too much."
Mo Fan: ...Why does that sound off?
The little bit of confidence that Mo "Glass Heart" Fan had managed to regain took another hit.
At this moment, all he wanted to do was squat on the ground and draw circles...
Xiao Qimo looked at the two of them and laughed helplessly.
This time, Lu Mian kindly spared Mo Fan.
As Mo Fan had some private matters to discuss with Xiao Qimo, Lu Mian took the opportunity to check the RE Factor, pulling Mo Nie away with her.
Mo Nie kept looking back every three steps, watching his former brother Mo Fan, then looking at Lu Mian, finding it unbelievable.
Miss Lu and Mo Fan’s relationship, it’s actually this good?
The Mo Fan he remembered was always the most taciturn and coldest, with a perennially stoic face, unchanging.
But now, it seemed he had changed a lot...
He always thought Mo Fan was the most difficult subordinate to deal with among them; unexpectedly, Miss Lu had become so close with Mo Fan.
He felt a bit envious of their interaction for no apparent reason.
Meanwhile, Mo Fan, watching Lu Mian walk more than ten meters away, quietly asked Xiao Qimo.
"Mr. Mo, do you know who saved me back on Yinye Island?"
He had been bothered by this question for a long time.
Xiao Qimo pondered for a few seconds, "I do."
"Who is it?" Mo Fan pressed eagerly.
Xiao Qimo didn’t plan to disclose it, and looking at him, he said indifferently, "It’s not someone you need to worry about, you don’t know the person."
Mo Fan tapped the back of his head; it really wasn’t Miss Lu, huh...
That time, he seemed to have indeed heard Miss Lu’s voice, but the person was wearing a black robe, too tightly covered for him to see the face...
Xiao Qimo’s tone was very cold: "He blew up the island, causing an explosion. Ensuring no innocents were harmed, that was what he ought to do."
Mo Fan looked up at Xiao Qimo, and from his tone, he seemed to understand some entangled grievances.
He nodded a little despondently, "Alright then."
Afterward, he looked deeply in the direction of Lu Mian.
