Chapter 967: Chapter 955: Complaining to Lu Zijin
Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, the three little ones hesitated for a mont but eventually gave in.
“Fine, we’ll head back first and co again next ti.”
As soon as Qiao Jing spoke, the three little ones obediently agreed. Zhan Nanjing couldn’t help but exclaim, “You three really treat Xiao Jing like your real mom!”
Compared to Xiao Jing, her words as their aunt had absolutely no weight!
Qiao Jing affectionately patted the heads of the three little ones, “Go on.”
Only then did the three little ones reluctantly wave goodbye to her and got in the car with Zhan Nanjing to leave.
Watching the car drive away, Qiao Jing intended to turn around and head back inside.
Just then, another car sped towards them, coming to an abrupt stop at the gate.
The car door opened, and Sun Mingzhu and Sun Mingxin got out aggressively, striding directly to Qiao Jing and forcibly blocking her way inside.
Qiao Jing glanced at the two of them expressionlessly and coldly asked, “I wonder what brings you two here uninvited?”
Sun Mingxin snorted coldly and rudely rebuked, “How dare you ask why we’re here? Qiao Lao San, you’re well aware of the filthy things you’ve done!”
Qiao Jing didn’t bother with pleasantries either, coldly saying, “If you’re here to pick a fight, then save it and get lost early. I don’t have ti to waste on nonsense with you.”
She had long noticed the strong hostility from the Sun sisters towards her.
Since the other party wasn’t friendly, she wouldn’t show them a good face either!
Sun Mingzhu gritted her teeth and glared at Qiao Jing with resentnt, “You must have badmouthed in front of Lu Zijin, right? That’s why Lu Zijin has been distancing himself from lately, ignoring .”
Hearing the commotion, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin ca out from the house, just in ti to hear Sun Mingzhu’s words.
Before Qiao Jing could say anything, Qiao Hong sneered and spoke first, “Didn’t my third sister make it clear enough last ti at the hospital? Director Lu has no interest in you at all; it’s just your wishful thinking, getting carried away!”
“He distanced himself from you because he clearly wanted to avoid getting entangled with you, so he drew a line early to prevent further misunderstandings!”
“Nonsense! Not a word of truth cos out of you three sisters’ mouths, just lies!”
Sun Mingzhu was exasperated, her face twisted with rage, “It’s definitely Qiao Lao San who slandered in front of Lu Zijin, trying to drive a wedge between us, hoping to snatch him away from !”
Sun Mingxin chid in indignantly, “That’s right, Director Lu was so good to my sister before, it was obvious he liked her, but since eting Qiao Lao San at the hospital last ti, his attitude changed abruptly—it must be Qiao Lao San’s doing! Don’t try to deny it!”
Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, her lips curling into a mocking smirk, “I’m honestly curious, where do you two sisters get this confidence from?”
“Qiao Lao San, what do you an!”
Sun Mingzhu’s eyes widened with anger, her tone icy.
Qiao Jing unhurriedly said, “With your aggressive, unpleasant deanor going around making unreasonable demands, do you think Lu Zijin is blind enough to like you? If he actually did, that would indeed be strange!”
Sun Mingzhu, already furious, was further infuriated by these words.
Sun Mingxin also felt unjust for her sister, gritting her teeth, “Stop talking nonsense! Watch us tear your mouth apart today!”
With that, the Sun sisters charged toward Qiao Jing, swinging their hands, ready to attack.
Just then, a calm male voice approached, “What are you all doing?”
The voice was quite distinct; just by hearing it, one could tell it was Lu Zijin.
Everyone present was surprised by Lu Zijin’s sudden arrival.
Qiao Jing was no exception, though she didn’t let the surprise show on her face.
In contrast to her calm deanor, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin’s expressions were quite evident, both displaying shock.
But the biggest reactions still ca from the two Sun sisters.
Sun Mingzhu and Sun Mingxin’s actions froze, their faces changed dramatically, and the hands they had reached out to strike Qiao Jing hastily pulled back.
Unfortunately, their actions did not escape Lu Zijin’s watchful eyes.
As Lu Zijin walked closer, he frowned at the two of them and asked again, “What are you doing?”
Facing Lu Zijin, Sun Mingzhu instantly put on a different face, assuming her usual gentle posture as if the rude and unreasonable shrew from before wasn’t her at all.
To maintain her sister’s image, Sun Mingxin imdiately pointed fingers at Qiao Jing and angrily said, “Director Lu, you’re just in ti. This Qiao Lao San is too outrageous!”
“She not only insulted my sister but also belittled you, saying you have poor eyesight and judgnt. My sister and I couldn’t bear to hear it, so we argued with them.”
It was clear Lu Zijin did not believe Sun Mingxin’s story, observing her with obvious skepticism.
Although unsure of what had happened, he could clearly see that Sun Mingzhu and Sun Mingxin’s stance earlier was not at all like they were just arguing; they were clearly about to get physical!
Seeing Sun Mingxin twist the truth, Qiao Lin couldn’t bear it and imdiately refuted, “Nonsense! Clearly, you sisters ca uninvited to cause trouble, falsely accusing our Xiao Jing of badmouthing you in front of Director Lu and claiming she was trying to steal Director Lu by disrupting your relationship!”
Qiao Hong chid in, “Exactly, we just spoke a few truths, and you sisters beca desperate, trying to hit us!”
“Do you think everyone is as uncouth as you? My sister and I are well-mannered; we would never stoop to such vulgar acts as getting physical with others!”
Sun Mingxin, neck braced, lied without blushing or showing a hint of guilt.
Sun Mingzhu turned her head, trying to explain to Lu Zijin, “Director Lu, I didn’t, please don’t believe their nonsense…”
However, as Sun Mingzhu spoke, Lu Zijin had already started walking towards Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing watched Lu Zijin approach and raised an eyebrow slightly, asking, “Did you need sothing?”
Lu Zijin nodded and straightforwardly said, “It’s like this, a patient just arrived at the hospital with symptoms similar to Zhang Chao before—a high fever that won’t subside and no identifiable cause.”
“I tried the treatnt thod you taught last ti, but it didn’t work. I assu the symptoms are similar, but the root causes are different. So, I wonder if you’re available to co and help take a look?”
“Sure, I’m free. Let’s go.”
Qiao Jing agreed without hesitation.
Their conversation had no awkwardness or formality, like friends who had known each other for many years.
Sun Mingzhu stood to the side, repeatedly trying to join the conversation but found no opportunity to interject.
After greeting Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin, Qiao Jing left with Lu Zijin, discussing the patient’s condition as they got into the car.
Watching them leave together, Sun Mingzhu was practically seething with jealousy.
Sun Mingxin was also furious; the thought of her handso and wealthy brother-in-law being taken away made her feel reluctant.
If her sister couldn’t secure Lu Zijin, how could she benefit?
Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin couldn’t be bothered with the Sun sisters anymore. They turned around and went back inside, slamming the door behind them with a “bang.”
