245 245 Examination
“Hello, old master Lu.” Chen Yi walked forward and smiled, “After hearing that you were sick, Jingjing pestered me to find a doctor for you. Dr. Peter is a famous specialist in the industry. He had been staying in the laboratory before, and I’ve spent a lot of effort contacting him. When he heard about your illness, he immediately rushed over.
“But when we went to the hospital, you were already discharged. The nurse said you weren’t in good health, but now it seems you are in much better shape now.” Chen Yi and Tan Jing were indeed mother and daughter. They knew how to push the responsibility to others.
“Although my body hasn’t recovered completely, it’s almost recovered. I appreciate your concern, Mrs. Tan.” Old Master Lu was unhappy, but they were already in his house, so he couldn’t be too harsh. “If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
Tan Jing didn’t expect Old Master Lu to recover so well, nor did she expect him to reject her so quickly. However, they had already invited Dr. Peter here. How could they not cook after cutting the vegetables?
“Grandpa Lu, Dr. Peter took an 18-hour flight for you and even changed three stops midway. He was exhausted from the journey, but he rushed to the hospital to see you without resting as soon as he got off the plane. You can’t let him come all the way here for nothing, right?” Tan Jing said.
Lu Qing wanted to laugh after hearing that. “You took an 18-hour flight and even changed three stops. I’m afraid you’re a doctor from Antarctica. Would there actually be any good doctors there?”
Tan Jing’s face stiffened. She only wanted to complicate things and did not consider the situation. When she heard Lu Qing’s words, she could only change her words. “I mean, his journey took a total of 18 hours. In the middle, he had to take a bus and train and transfer to a plane before arriving here.”
“Since that’s the case, then all the more we should let him have a good rest.” Old Master Lu said with a straight face, “It’s already past lunch, and our family doesn’t have the habit of having afternoon tea. However, it’s too early for dinner, and I won’t pester you to stay here either.”
Lu Qing made a gesture to send the guests off. “Please.”
“Didn’t you pay me to come here to treat your illness?” Dr. Peter asked in a foreign language. “Why are you chasing us away?”
Chen Yi was not fluent in the foreign language. Although Tan Jing could take the exam, she spoke poorly. In addition, the doctor had a strong accent, so Tan Jing did not understand what he meant.
However, Lu Qing understood but did not say anything and only asked the butler to see them out.
When he returned to his room, Old Master Lu was still a little angry. When Tan Jing saw him earlier, he only thought that she was too scheming for a child. Now, it seemed that not only was she scheming, but she also didn’t have enough intelligence. She was stupid.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry. You had to see someone that you didn’t like.” Lu Qing walked in and apologized to his grandpa after sending them off.
Old Master Lu’s face darkened as he lectured his grandson, “Don’t interact with this family in the future, especially Tan Jing. One look and you can tell that she’s not a kind person. Grandpa doesn’t object to you making friends. It’s you who has to see them with clear eyes. Don’t make friends with just anyone.”
Lu Qing disliked Tan Jing more and more. Lu Qing did not know about this at all. Not only did she not inform him before bringing Dr. Peter to his house, but she also repeatedly asked to see his grandfather. His grandfather was clearly full of energy. Why would they still need a check-up?
“Don’t worry, Grandpa.” Lu Qing promised him, “I won’t be friends with her. At most, we’ll only be classmates.”
Old Master Lu believed in Lu Qing. As long as he said he would not talk to those people, these two would not be friends. He suddenly thought of the girl Zhuang Liu had brought over earlier. Whether in terms of speech or behavior, she was steps ahead of Tan Jing. They were the same age, but one was heaven, and the other was hell.
“Grandpa, it’s time to take your medicine. Let’s take your medicine first.” Lu Qing took the pills.
Old Master Lu was no longer resistant to eating pills because these pills could indeed make his body better. Moreover, he looked forward to meeting the person who made these pills. He wondered what kind of powerful person could make such pills.
“Xiao Qing, when is that doctor coming to give me acupuncture?” Old Master Lu could not help but ask.
Lu Qing calculated the time. “The doctor said it would be a week later. It’s only been two days now. We still have to wait for a while.”
Old Master Lu was a little anxious. “I really want to see him soon.”
Lu Qing smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely get the doctor to meet you personally.”
