Chapter 57: Lu Residence
Lu Shangjin seemed to be on the road. He panted as he said, “I don’t know. I’m still in Donghai City at the moment. I’m going to board the plane. I’ll let Chengzhou pick you up.”
Gu Mang pursed her lips.
The Lu Family was complicated. She didn’t want to get involved in their mess but her doctor’s instinct was compelling her to do otherwise.
“Okay,” Gu Mang finally agreed.
Lu Shangjin instantly felt relieved as he said, “Thank you.”
…
The girl wearing a baseball cap left the school’s gate carrying a black bag. A black SUV was waiting by the roadside, barely visible through the shadows.
Lu Chengzhou stood under the cold street lamp, his long fingers holding a cigarette. Smoke encircled him.
His black jacket gave off a cold vibe.
Seeing the girl with the baseball cap coming, he snubbed the cigarette on the ashtray.
The girl’s casual strides with her long, straight legs emanated a powerful presence. She walked up to him.
Lu Chengzhou pulled the door open for her. “Get in.”
Gu Mang bent down and entered the car. Lu Chengzhou followed her in. The door closed and Lu Yī started the car.
Lu Chengzhou turned his head to look at Gu Mang and opened his mouth to say something.
The girl’s pretty hand pressed down the brim of her cap, covering up most of her face. She switched to a comfortable posture and closed her eyes.
It seemed like she didn’t want to interact with him. Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes. This kid seems irritated that we’re troubling her again. Does she need a little wooing?
He thought for a moment, he leaned forward to open the storage box in front and grabbed a box of white chocolate and placed it on her lap.
Gu Mang opened her eyes and saw a box of chocolates opened on her lap. They were black and white with twelve zodiacs designs on them. It was a box of limited edition chocolates from a luxury brand. One box cost 37000 yuan.
What a rich guy.
Gu Mang poked the brim of her cap up with her finger, showing her pretty face.
She picked up a piece of white chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth. The smooth and sweet taste lingered on her taste buds. Her eyebrows raised slightly as her mood lightened.
Lu Chengzhou then piped up, “The old lady is in much better condition than she was a few days ago. Her condition worse all of a sudden and she just fainted.”
Gu Mang looked at him, her eyes surly. She gave a cold, queer smirk and said slowly, “You have to ask Lu Xiwei about this.”
There was suddenly a chilly gleam in Lu Chengzhou’s jet-black eyes. “You mean they didn’t use the medicine that you left them?”
Gu Mang gave a lazy murmur of a.s.sent. Her eyes, obscured in the dark, were as chilly as a cold lake. As a doctor, she absolutely hated conceit.
The most authoritative female brain specialist in medical circles?
Lu Yī batted his eyes in disbelief. Was the young master humoring Ms. Gu?
What was going on?
…
A group of people stepped through the Lu residence’s entrance.
Gu Mang walked beside Lu Chengzhou lazily with her hands in her pockets.
Just like the other day, the old grandmother’s courtyard was filled with family members from every which branch.
Upon seeing Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang again, the members of the second branch of the family felt guilty.
Lu Xiwei, of the second branch, was feeling especially guilty after causing the recent disaster. Lu Chengzhou took Gu Mang straight to the old grandmother’s room.
Not even Lu Ruoshui dared to stop them.
Lu Xiwei and the three military doctors were overwrought with worry as they discussed the treatment plan.
“Ms. Lu, let’s do the surgery. If you don’t do it, the old lady will die.” A military doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Lu Xiwei consulted the relevant materials and her face was taut. “Give me some time. I must find a better way.”
Since Gu Mang was able to remove the blood clot without surgery last time, she could definitely do it again.
She didn’t believe that Western medicine couldn’t match up to the old and outdated traditional Chinese medicine.
