"Mom, who did you say was picking you and Dad up?" Her breath stopped for a couple of seconds.
On the phone, Lu’s mother began,
"Aye, your Uncle Jiang’s eldest son, wasn’t it you who asked him to co?"
By the end, Lu’s mother also felt suspicious.
At this mont, Jiang Ye’s voice was heard:
"Auntie, I only heard the little girl ntion it casually. She didn’t specifically tell ."
Huh?
Lu Jing caught her breath, feeling an itch in her teeth, but she couldn’t beat anyone up over the phone, so she had to bear it:
"Mom, I rember now, I ran into him this morning. It seems I indeed ntioned to him that you and Dad were coming.
You know, our hospital and their fire departnt are directly opposite each other, very close."
Pfft~
On the phone, how heartbroken Jiang Ye was, only he himself knew.
But Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu didn’t notice anything amiss:
"Ah? Is that so? You child..."
Lu Jing quickly changed the subject:
"Mom, where are you now? I’ve just finished work, so I can co and pick you and Dad up."
"No need, we are in Aye’s car right now; we should be arriving soon. You just co here."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jing really wanted to curse soone out. She was worried if it got connected to the car’s Bluetooth, her parents would hear, which would be terrible.
Forget it.
Thinking about it, if Jiang Ye was picking people up at the airport, certainly everything at ho was sorted out.
Thus, she was sowhat relieved.
Just as she was ready to leave work, an ergency patient ca in.
After handling everything, it was already half an hour later before she hurriedly left the hospital and took a taxi to Huaining County.
...
By the ti Lu Jing got ho, Mr. and Mrs. Lu had already rested for a while, and Jiang Ye had been with the elderly couple the whole ti, answering every question they had.
"Aye, we’ve really troubled you today."
"Auntie, please don’t say that. As an elder, you seldom co to Nanxi City, and I just happened to be free. It’s only right for to pick up you and Uncle."
Mr. and Mrs. Lu felt sothing was slightly off, but they couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
At this ti, Jiang Ye spoke again:
"Uncle, Auntie, considering my relationship with Brother Yan, if it were my parents, Brother Yan would do the sa, wouldn’t he?"
It seed true.
Lu Yan and Jiang Ye, along with several others, indeed had an exceptionally good relationship.
Besides, everyone had known each other for many years; they weren’t exactly strangers.
Seeing that his elders were convinced (or hoodwinked), Jiang Ye slightly narrowed his eyes, then glanced at the woman standing dumbfounded by the door.
Lu Jing just watched helplessly as her dear dad and mom were chard by this scoundrel, feeling utterly conflicted.
But at least they hadn’t noticed, which was sowhat comforting.
After sighing deeply, she finally walked in:
"Dad, Mom!"
It had been over six years since Lu Jing and her father truly saw each other. Upon seeing him, she almost cried.
"Dad."
"Finished work?" Mr. Lu asked kindly.
Perhaps it was having been a professor for so many years, he had an indescribable air of scholarly grace.
Lu Jing nodded, then stepped forward and gently hugged Mr. Lu:
"Dad, it’s been six years since I’ve seen you!"
Mr. Lu tapped his daughter on the forehead:
"Who told you not to co and see your mom and ?"
"Well, that’s because..."
"What is it?"
Okay, she couldn’t explain it at the mont.
There were too many reasons!
