âMom, heâs fine. Xingzhi was injured during a mission. Heâs in the hospital now. Youâll see him when you get there. If Xingzhi were seriously injured, would I be in the mood to joke around with Xiaoxiao?â She took Mrs. Luâs palm and comforted her. Then, she asked the three of them to follow her to the hospital.
It was quite a distance from the airport to the hospital. She drove the car very steadily and only arrived after about 40 minutes.
Jiang Yao knew that Mrs. Lu and the others were concerned about Lu Xingzhiâs injury, so she brought them directly to Lu Xingzhiâs ward. When they entered, Lu Xingzhi was on the phone. When he noticed they had entered, he quickly said goodbye and put his phone away.
âXingzhi, let me look at you.â As soon as Mrs. Lu put down her luggage, she ran toward Lu Xingzhi and lifted his clothes up and down to look at him.
Lu Xingzhi pulled his pants tightly, his face full of fear. He was afraid that when Mrs. Lu got agitated, she would pull his pants to see if his lower body was injured.
âMom, itâs nothing. Itâs just a superficial injury. âLu Xingzhi hurriedly stepped back. âItâs nothing. Besides, my wife is such an amazing doctor. What can happen to me? Itâs just a superficial wound. Iâll be fine after staying in the hospital and recuperating for a while. â
âHeâs fine. Donât you think that Xingzhi is in good spirits?â Second Uncle Lu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Xingzhi was in good spirits. âYour mom and I were really shocked last night.â
âBrother, your face is injured too?â Lu Xiaoxiao noticed the gauze on Lu Xingzhiâs face at a glance. âIs it serious?
Only then did Mrs. Lu place her gaze on Lu Xingzhiâs face. She reached out to remove the gauze. When she saw the scar, her tears fell.
Lu Xiaoxiao was also shocked when she saw that. âWhat happened? You disfigured your handsome just like that?â
Lu Xiaoxiao had only been in the north for a short period, but she was already speaking with an accent. Jiang Yao laughed.
âListen to yourself.â Second Uncle Lu raised his hand and hit Lu Xiaoxiao on the forehead.
âItâs fine. Itâs okay even if Brother gets disfigured. Jiang Yao wonât mind him.
Besides, he doesnât rely on his face to make a living.â Lu Xiaoxiao nudged Mrs.
Lu. âAunty, donât be sad. Look at him; heâs fine. Itâs just a superficial wound. Donât cry. â
Lu Xiaoxiao tried to coax Mrs. Lu. She had lost her mother when she was young. Mrs. Luâs role in her life was that of a mother. So when she saw Mrs. Lu crying, she felt terrible.
Her personality made her more willing to be a monkey that could make her elders laugh.
â1tâs okay, Mom.â Jiang Yao quickly responded.
âEverythingâs fine now. Heâll be discharged from the hospital in a while and can go home to recuperate.â
âHow long is a while?â
That question was not asked by Mrs. Lu, Second Uncle Lu, or Lu Xiaoxiao.
Instead, it was asked by Lu Xingzhi, who had been standing there silently.
Jiang Yao could not help but roll her eyes at Lu Xingzhi. âWhen youâre discharged from the hospital, youâre not allowed to jump around without my permission.â
âJump around?â Lu Xingzhi was very dissatisfied. âThe one jumping around is a monkey, like Xiaoxiao..â(To be continued read on Bon )
