243 243 The Vicious Family
Tan Jing had been busy dealing with Tan Rou recently and had forgotten to find a doctor for Lu Qingâs grandfather. That day, she suddenly heard the news that Old Master Lu had been discharged from the hospital. She was stunned for a while before she reacted.
âMom, Old Master Lu has been discharged.â Tan Jing said happily to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi was a little surprised. âDidnât you say that he was seriously ill? Why did he suddenly get discharged?â
Tan Jing said, âMom, there are only two situations when youâre discharged. One is when youâre cured, and you go home. The other is when youâre desperate, and thereâs no need to stay any longer. Think about it. Thereâs been no news from Old Master Lu for so many days. It canât be that his health has improved. Moreover, itâs not like his family canât afford to stay in a high-class ward. Now that heâs suddenly discharged, he must have given up on treatment.â
!!
âSince theyâve given up on treatment, then letâs not waste our time.â Chen Yi said.
âNo! This is our chance!â Tan Jing said anxiously.
Chen Yi didnât understand. They have already given up on treatment, so what chance did they still have? âWhat chance?â
Tan Jing smiled and said, âIf we bring the doctor over now and cure Old Master Lu, wonât it be to our credit? If he canât be cured, it means that his life is bound to be over, and they wonât blame us for it. Moreover, if we go over now and offer to treat Old Master Lu, regardless of whether he is cured or not, the Lu family will definitely be grateful.â
Chen Yi was enlightened and praised her daughterâs intelligence. âAs expected of my good daughter. Youâre incredibly smart and capable.â
âMom, quickly call and ask where Dr. Peter is.â Tan Jing was burning with anxiety. She wished she could bring the doctor to the Lu family now so that Old Master Lu would not die early.
âGot it.â Chen Yi immediately took out her phone to ask for news about Dr. Peter.
Tan Jing was overjoyed. As long as she seized the opportunity to help Lu Qing save his grandfather, Lu Qing would thank her regardless of whether she succeeded or not. As long as Lu Qing owned this to Tan Jing, things would be much easier in the future.
When the time came, the first thing she asked Lu Qing to do was to stay away from Tan Rou. Every time she saw them standing together, she felt uncomfortable, especially when Lu Qing was biased toward Tan Rou, intentionally or unintentionally. It made her feel like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.
âDr. Peter has already arrived in the city.â Chen Yi put down the phone and adjusted her five-figure dress. âLetâs go. Iâve already asked him to meet us. Weâll go to the Lu familyâs house directly.â
Tan Jing was relieved. She held Chen Yiâs arm and said affectionately, âThank you, Mom.â
The mother and daughter of the Tan family made an appointment with Dr. Peter and rushed to the Lu family. However, when they reached the door, they were stopped by the butler.
âWho are you? What are you here for?â Butler Lu had never seen Chen Yi and her daughter before, and they did not have an appointment. He could not allow them in just like that.
âThis is Dr. Peter. He came here to treat Old Master Lu.â Tan Jing introduced anxiously. âWe heard that Old Master Lu was in critical condition, so we brought Dr. Peter in from abroad. Donât worry; Dr. Peter is very famous in the industry. He will definitely cure Old Master Lu.â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? When has my old master gotten critically ill?!â Butler Lu had followed Old Master Lu for many years and also treated Old Master Lu as his own family.
This time, when Old Master Lu fell sick, he was worried sick as well. Now that Old Master Lu had almost recovered and had returned home, and he was extremely happy. How could he listen to this mother-daughter duo curses him like this? âHurry up and leave. Donât cause trouble here.â
When Tan Jing saw him chasing them away in a hurry, she thought that Old Master Lu was really critically ill and did not want anyone to know. The more he did not let her in, the more she wanted to show off.
âIâm Lu Qingâs friend, Tan Jing. Please inform Lu Qing about it. He will definitely let me in.â Tan Jing quickly told him who she was. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Butler Lu did not dare to chase her away when he heard her say that. He asked her to wait for a moment and went in to ask Lu Qing.
Soon, Lu Qing rushed over. When he saw Tan Jing, he did not look like he welcomed her. âTan Jing? What are you doing here?â
Tan Jing saw his ugly expression and felt a little unhappy. However, the purpose of this trip was not to be angry with Lu Qing. She was here to do business.
âLu Qing, this is Dr. Peter. Heâs here to treat Grandpa Lu. He just arrived today. We went to the hospital as soon as he arrived, but the nurse said that Grandpa Lu had already been discharged. Itâs all their fault for not making it clear and making us misunderstand that Grandpa Lu was seriously ill.â Tan Jing was very good at talking. With just a few words, she pushed the responsibility of her ill-speaking to another person.
