243 243 The Vicious Family
Tan Jing had been busy dealing with Tan Rou recently and had forgotten to find a doctor for Lu Qing’s 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.
“Mom, Old Master Lu has been discharged.” Tan Jing said happily to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi was a little surprised. “Didn’t you say that he was seriously ill? Why did he suddenly get discharged?”
Tan Jing said, “Mom, there are only two situations when you’re discharged. One is when you’re cured, and you go home. The other is when you’re desperate, and there’s no need to stay any longer. Think about it. There’s been no news from Old Master Lu for so many days. It can’t be that his health has improved. Moreover, it’s not like his family can’t afford to stay in a high-class ward. Now that he’s suddenly discharged, he must have given up on treatment.”
“Since they’ve given up on treatment, then let’s not waste our time.” Chen Yi said.
“No! This is our chance!” Tan Jing said anxiously.
Chen Yi didn’t understand. They have already given up on treatment, so what chance did they still have? “What chance?”
Tan Jing smiled and said, “If we bring the doctor over now and cure Old Master Lu, won’t it be to our credit? If he can’t be cured, it means that his life is bound to be over, and they won’t 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.”
Chen Yi was enlightened and praised her daughter’s intelligence. “As expected of my good daughter. You’re incredibly smart and capable.”
“Mom, quickly call and ask where Dr. Peter is.” 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.
“Got it.” 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.
“Dr. Peter has already arrived in the city.” Chen Yi put down the phone and adjusted her five-figure dress. “Let’s go. I’ve already asked him to meet us. We’ll go to the Lu family’s house directly.”
Tan Jing was relieved. She held Chen Yi’s arm and said affectionately, “Thank you, Mom.”
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.
“Who are you? What are you here for?” 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.
“This is Dr. Peter. He came here to treat Old Master Lu.” Tan Jing introduced anxiously. “We heard that Old Master Lu was in critical condition, so we brought Dr. Peter in from abroad. Don’t worry; Dr. Peter is very famous in the industry. He will definitely cure Old Master Lu.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? When has my old master gotten critically ill?!” 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? “Hurry up and leave. Don’t cause trouble here.”
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.
“I’m Lu Qing’s friend, Tan Jing. Please inform Lu Qing about it. He will definitely let me in.” Tan Jing quickly told him who she was.
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. “Tan Jing? What are you doing here?”
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.
“Lu Qing, this is Dr. Peter. He’s 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. It’s all their fault for not making it clear and making us misunderstand that Grandpa Lu was seriously ill.” Tan Jing was very good at talking. With just a few words, she pushed the responsibility of her ill-speaking to another person.
