Chapter 1154: Who Handled Whom? It Was the Young Lady Who Got Him
Everyone in the hospital room looked over, and at a glance they saw King Jingyao coming over with Wang Jingchuan.
As soon as he saw Gu Anxi, he reprimanded her, "Made trouble again?"
Lu Xueman immediately spoke up when she heard this, "Mr. Wang, Gu Anxi actually used unreleased materials on Lu Heng, including Professor Bo, I always thought he was a rule-abiding person, didn’t expect him to..."
"Didn’t expect what?" King Jingyao smiled lightly and sat down by the bedside, casually questioning.
Lu Xueman’s expression froze, and after a while, she began somewhat awkwardly, "Just didn’t expect them to be so heartless."
"Since you think it’s bad, wait for Xichen to come back and take it out, I guess you think Lu Heng’s extra twenty centimeters of leg are unnecessary, right?" King Jingyao said with a hint of sarcasm.
At this, Lu Xueman’s face completely stiffened. She never expected King Jingyao to say such things, so she couldn’t respond for quite some time. The old lady glanced at her, full of disdain, thinking she was not presentable. Fortunately, back then Bo Nianyao did not lose his head and went crazy about marrying her, otherwise, where would excellent Xichen come from, and without Xichen, how could there be that kid keeping him company?
So, everything was perfectly arranged.
At this moment, King Jingyao looked at Gu Anxi and asked with concern, "How are you doing?"
Gu Anxi shook her head, "It’s fine, much better now."
King Jingyao fondly pinched her ear, "You say you’re much better now, but you don’t know how scared your sister-in-law was. She’s not in good health and called me several times urging me to come and check on you. So here I am, leaving the meeting halfway."
Wang Jingchuan naturally chimed in, "Exactly, Mr. Wang left everyone behind to come over, and now Mr. Zhou is presiding over the meeting."
Just as he finished speaking, the door opened again, and Zhou Yunchen came in.
King Jingyao was a bit on edge, "Why are you here too, Yun Chen? Aren’t you hosting the meeting?"
"Congwen called several times, she’s not able to come, so she let me check." Zhou Yunchen remained composed, which made King Jingyao want to chase him out.
This Zhou Yunchen was really bad, taking advantage of his appreciation to do whatever he pleased, truly detestable.
Zhou Yunchen acted like he was everyone’s elder brother, coming over and giving heartfelt advice... The old lady and Mrs. Bo exchanged a glance and remained silent.
Lu Xueman felt even more unpleasant, watching Gu Anxi being so favored among these bigwigs, as if everyone treated her like a treasure. She felt uncomfortable inside and couldn’t find a chance to seek justice for her son, feeling extremely suffocated.
King Jingyao seemed to notice her thoughts, turned slightly toward her, and smiled faintly, "Anxi has gone through so much for Lu Heng’s surgery, and yet Mrs. Lu, you feel sorry for Lu Heng. I truly have nothing to say, if Mrs. Lu cared for her son properly, things wouldn’t be this way."
Lu Xueman’s lips moved, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything.
King Jingyao patted his pants, "One should know gratitude, right?"
Lu Xueman remained silent for a long time, finally speaking hoarsely, "Lu Heng has liked her for many years... searched for so long, now..."
"Anxi has done no wrong to him, after all." King Jingyao lightly coughed, "Just because you like someone doesn’t guarantee reciprocation..."
He himself liked Anxi and wanted to pursue true love by marrying her, but Anxi only liked Xichen. Forcing her to marry wouldn’t be meaningful, it wouldn’t be the feeling he liked.
Of course, he wouldn’t dare say such rebellious words in front of the old lady. If he did, she’d surely beat him to death. King Jingyao knew when to stop, glanced at Lu Xueman, and then had Wang Jingchuan escort her out.
Seriously, his precious sister was recovering her health, could just anyone come in?
Wang Jingchuan was naturally skilled in speech, and with a few gentle words coaxed Lu Xueman out. At the door, he sincerely said again, "Mr. Wang made it very clear, Mrs. Lu still doesn’t see the situation."
Lu Xueman remained dazed for a while, then spoke hoarsely, "Shouldn’t Gu Anxi give an explanation on this matter?"
"Little Gu’s explanation is preserving that part of Dr. Lu’s leg, what more do you want? Besides, Little Gu has been very interested in medical research lately, she’s such a talent who might one day develop a mechanical leg most suitable for Dr. Lu, by then Mrs. Lu would be too thankful to count, no?"
Lu Xueman heard hope in his words and hastily asked, "Really?"
She hesitated again, "Can’t be, this isn’t a work of a moment."
Wang Jingchuan wore a wide smile, "Don’t trust my words? Take good care of Dr. Lu and wait for the good news!"
Lu Xueman left half-believing.
Back in the hospital room, Wang Jingchuan returned, and Gu Anxi was speaking with Zhou Yunchen, "By the way, Beauty’s hand got burnt, Chen Ming brought her, I haven’t managed to ask you to check."
Zhou Yunchen frowned, "Got burnt?"
Gu Anxi leaned against the bed and nodded, "Yes, seems quite severe."
Zhou Yunchen promptly made a call. This time King Jingyao lightly coughed, leaned closer to Gu Anxi and whispered, "You’re not well yourself yet still care about others’ affairs, just want to watch the drama, huh?"
Gu Anxi lightly coughed and sighed, "Nothing escapes you, elder brother."
King Jingyao pinched her cheek, "As soon as your tail lifts, I know where you’re going, little rascal that you are."
Saying this, he got up, "Alright, I need to return to the office, I managed to sneak out and can’t rest properly. Originally, if everything was fine here, I’d go back early to accompany your sister-in-law."
He somewhat begrudgingly looked at Zhou Yunchen, then threw out a line, "It’s not easy being the boss."
Then, without bothering Zhou Yunchen further, he said a few words to the old lady and greeted Mrs. Bo, and left with Wang Jingchuan. Though he complained, he was also being considerate; Beauty’s hand was burnt and naturally Zhou Yunchen, as her brother, should go visit. Furthermore, he’d have to inquire about Chen Ming and Beauty’s personal matters, half a day wouldn’t be enough.
Outside, Old Wang chuckled silently.
Wang Jingchuan accompanied the laugh, "Really, did Chen Ming really settle with Mr. Zhou’s sister?"
"Tch, with his no-good demeanor, does it seem likely?" King Jingyao snorted, "It’s clearly the girl sorted him out."
The secretary-general clapped his hands and laughed, "You’re truly a master strategist."
Upon hearing this, Old Wang was naturally coaxed into happiness, went to the office, and said no more.
Back in the hospital room, Zhou Yunchen hung up the phone, looking at Gu Anxi.
