Jiang Ye glanced up and when he saw the surveillance cara above, a flicker of irritation passed through his mind:
"Next ti, next ti I’ll definitely hack their backend system first."
Lu Jing was unaware of the thoughts in the mind of the person beside her, otherwise, she might have personally called the police.
Self-righteousness destroys kinship!
...
After getting into the car in the underground garage, Lu Jing asked again,
"Where are we actually going?"
The man started the car and said casually,
"Don’t worry, I’m not going to sell you."
Thinking to himself: I couldn’t bear to part with you.
Lu Jing’s mouth twitched a few tis, but she didn’t press further.
Obviously, even if she continued to ask, this man wouldn’t speak if he didn’t want to.
The car slowly drove out of the garage, and soon it was on the main road.
Throughout the drive, Lu Jing didn’t interact much with him, her gaze stayed fixed out of the car window.
Jiang Ye actually enjoyed this sort of atmosphere, so he just let the woman beside him be.
It wasn’t long before the car stopped in front of an antique-looking old house.
Without even getting out of the car, one could sll the scent of traditional Chinese dicinal herbs in the air, instantly enlightening one’s mind and spirit.
Lu Jing thought Jiang Ye had co to pick up dicine, after all, his hand hadn’t healed yet, and he had no shortage of hidden ailnts within his body, usually managed through traditional Chinese dicine.
But upon entering, Lu Jing was stunned.
"Young Master Jiang has arrived?"
"Mm."
"This is Miss Lu, right? Please co this way."
???
Lu Jing furrowed her brow slightly, her gaze shifting to a certain soone in confusion.
The man gently squeezed the small hand held in his own,
"Go on, I’ll wait here for you to co out."
So, it wasn’t him who needed the dicine?
"I will not."
"Be good, listen."
"Jiang Ye, I’m not sick!"
She was furious. How could this person not even give her a heads-up?
Moreover, Lu Jing had always been extrely averse to seeing doctors.
So, upon realizing what was happening, she imdiately beca resistant.
But who was Jiang Ye?
When it ca to a woman’s health, how could he possibly indulge her caprices?
Without further ado, he wrapped an arm around her waist,
"I’ll accompany you inside!"
Hisss!
"Jiang Ye, I said I won’t go! I’m not sick!"
Jiang Ye could see the sudden change in the woman’s emotions, but still resisted his softer impulses and dragged her inside.
In the house, an old man with a white beard was already sitting and waiting, with a tea table laid out in front, and boiling water bubbling away.
"Jiang, is this how you treat a lady? Can’t you show a little tenderness? Do you think everyone is as stubborn as you?"
After saying this, he turned to Lu Jing with a smile,
"Co, co, young lady, co to this old man. Let’s have so tea, no need to be nervous."
Now that things had co to this, Lu Jing refrained from putting on airs in front of an old man, releasing the grip from his hand.
"Hello, Master."
"Don’t call Master, I am an old friend of Jiang despite our ages!"
The old man’s eyebrows, hair, and beard were all completely white, he must be at least eighty years old, right?
Jiang Ye was only thirty this year, could they be friends despite a fifty-year age difference?
The facts were: indeed, they were.
"Co, co, sit, have so tea."
A small delicate cup of tea was already being passed to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing hurriedly took it,
"Thank you, Master."
If not Master, then what? Big Brother?
Better not.
"Try it, how does it taste? This tea was from the batch Jiang brought last ti."
Lu Jing took a delicate sip,
"It’s indeed good."
Of course, it was, several hundred thousand RMB per kilogram for Da Hong Pao tea.
The old man nodded with a smile, took another sip of tea, and then slowly said,
"Young lady, you tend to worry a lot, don’t you?"
Lu Jing was taken aback for a mont, then nodded,
"Yes, it’s due to the nature of my job."
But the old man shook his head,
"This old man sees it’s not just your job that’s the cause. Your spleen and stomach aren’t in good shape either, lacking in blood, qi, with liver stagnation and general debilitation. You don’t seem very old, how did you beco like this?"
Lu Jing was quite surprised; the old man hadn’t even taken her pulse and could diagnose so much?
It seems he truly was a deeply-hidden Master!
She didn’t respond to the question.
Instead, it was Jiang Ye who tightened his lips for a mont before speaking,
"We lost a child."
At these words, Lu Jing was the first to clench her fist tightly.
