Sun Mingzhu and Sun Mingxin returned ho, their hearts full of anger.
Qiao Peilan imdiately noticed that sothing was off with her two daughters, and she pulled them aside to ask, "Why do you look so aggrieved? Who bullied you?"
Sun Mingxin snorted, speaking through clenched teeth, "It’s the three sisters from the Qiao Family, they were simply too bullying, especially that Qiao Lao San, she’s absolutely despicable!"
"What? They actually dared to bully you!"
Hearing this, Qiao Peilan’s anger flared up, and she imdiately demanded, "Quick, tell what happened!"
"That Qiao Lao San said bad things about in front of Lu Zijin, deliberately trying to destroy my relationship with him, and as a result, Lu Zijin has been cold to recently and hardly pays any attention to ."
As she spoke, Sun Mingzhu was on the verge of tears from grievance.
Sun Mingxin chid in, indignantly, "My sister and I were so mad that we went to confront Qiao Lao San, but Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin both defended her. What’s more, Lu Zijin even went to see Qiao Lao San. If we didn’t confront them today, we wouldn’t have known they started secretly contacting each other!"
"Mom, you have to think of sothing. If this goes on, Lu Zijin might really be taken away by that ugly Qiao Lao San!"
After hearing her daughters’ complaints, Qiao Peilan was also fuming with rage.
She angrily shouted, "Outrageous! That woman of unknown origin, she should take a good look at herself in the mirror, she’s so ugly and yet she dreams of seducing my future son-in-law!"
"No, I must call the Qiao Family and talk to my brother about this, let him discipline that adopted daughter of his!"
Saying this, Qiao Peilan took out her phone and called Qiao Weiguang.
As soon as the call was connected, before Qiao Weiguang could speak, Qiao Peilan unleashed a barrage of accusations.
"Brother, what on earth is going on? Your two biological daughters are rude and uncultured enough, but that ugly adopted daughter is even worse, she’s ugly and yet copying others to seduce n, like a seductress, I don’t understand how you’ve been educating them!"
"I’m telling you now, I don’t care if your third daughter seduces others, but tell her not to dream of seducing my Mingzhu’s boyfriend. If she doesn’t restrain herself, don’t bla us for being unkind!"
All these years, no matter how outrageous Qiao Peilan’s behavior was, Qiao Weiguang always let it slide, considering their sibling relationship and trying to avoid confrontation.
But now, hearing her insult his three daughters like this, Qiao Weiguang could no longer endure it.
He clenched his phone tightly, and spoke word by word in a stern voice, "Qiao Peilan, your unreasonable nature truly hasn’t changed since childhood. In the past, no matter how unpleasant your words were, or how illogical you were, I endured it because you’re my sister, but I will not allow you to insult my daughters!"
"And let tell you, my three precious daughters are not for you to criticize. If you dare to speak ill of them again, don’t bla for being an unforgiving brother!"
With this, Qiao Weiguang didn’t give Qiao Peilan a chance to respond and hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone from the phone and recalling Qiao Weiguang’s words, Qiao Peilan was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.
"Dare to call unreasonable? Illogical? And dare to hang up on ? No wonder his three daughters are so uncultured, it’s because of the poor example from the top!"
"Since you’re an unfeeling brother, don’t bla for being an unfaithful sister!"
After cursing for a bit, Qiao Peilan turned to her daughters and said, "From today on, we cut all ties with the Qiao Family. We’ll take our own righteous path while they take their solitary one!"
"From now on, when you see those three brats from the Qiao Family, you don’t have to be polite to them!"
Sun Mingxin quickly reminded, "Mom, don’t forget about Lu Zijin. We can’t let Qiao Lao San take him away!"
Qiao Peilan snorted, "You’re right, we mustn’t let Qiao Lao San succeed!"
Sun Mingzhu remained silent, but her gaze was even more ruthless than Qiao Peilan and Sun Mingxin’s.
She clenched her hands tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms without her even noticing.
Lu Zijin was hers alone, and Qiao Lao San would not take him from her!
anwhile, as Qiao Peilan and her daughters were seething with anger and plotting urgently, on the other side at the hospital, Qiao Jing had followed Lu Zijin into the patient ward.
She first took the patient’s pulse and, based on the pulse condition, perford acupuncture to alleviate the patient’s symptoms, and then developed a follow-up treatnt plan.
Seeing how effortlessly she identified the patient’s issues and accurately treated them, Lu Zijin was once again impressed, growing more and more admiring of her dical skills and increasingly fond of her as a person.
After leaving the ward, walking alongside the girl, Lu Zijin gave a gentle smile and suggested, "There’s a nice café downstairs in the hospital, let treat you to a cup of coffee to thank you for helping out again."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing’s lips curled slightly, and she said lightly, "Coffee is fine, no need for thanks, it was just a small effort. Besides, didn’t you help last ti too?"
Last ti, when Yang Xiaoxiao tried to renege on a bet, she called Lu Zijin, and he imdiately agreed to prepare a dical report for her.
So, speaking of which, it was just mutual assistance, no need for thanks.
Since she put it that way, Lu Zijin didn’t insist on ntioning gratitude.
After arriving at the café, they found a seat near the floor-to-ceiling windows, drinking coffee and discussing the previous patient’s case.
After chatting for a while, Lu Zijin couldn’t help but think about the past.
He sipped his coffee, and with so nostalgia, said, "Co to think of it, Qiao Jing and I used to sit together like this to discuss patient conditions and treatnt plans."
"But most of the ti, Qiao Jing did the talking while I listened, occasionally offering so suggestions."
Qiao Jing chuckled lightly, "You’re too modest, your dical skills are excellent too, giving lots of inspiration and help."
She was speaking the truth; Lu Zijin worked at one of the top hospitals in the capital, and as its director, how could his dical skills be lacking?
After she finished speaking, Qiao Jing suddenly noticed that Lu Zijin seed to be in a daze.
She asked, intrigued, "What’s wrong?"
Upon hearing her voice, Lu Zijin snapped out of his daze.
He lifted his eyes to look at the girl sitting opposite him, paused for a few seconds, and then said honestly, "Just now, when you said that, I was suddenly in a trance, feeling that you really resemble Qiao Jing, because she’s said the sa thing before."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing was the one who ended up in a daze.
Because of Lu Zijin’s words, she couldn’t help but recall that recently, whether it was Zhan Nanjing, the Zhan Family, Lu Zijin in front of her, or even Xu Moqian, Lin Xiuxiang, and others, they’ve all ntioned how similar she is to the missing young lady of the Zhan Family.
In addition, the three adorable little ones from the Zhan Family also gave her an inexplicable feeling of closeness...
