Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Jiang Group Really Withdraws Its Endorsement

9:00 PM, it was already late.

Lu Jing and a few colleagues from his department had just left the duck soup restaurant, and after that meal, they had grown more familiar with each other:

"Doctor Lu, we’ll be heading off first then, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After everyone had gotten into their cars and left one by one, Lu Jing finally walked towards the hospital dormitory building opposite.

Of course, at this point, Lu Jing was unaware that someone was investigating events from six years ago, and in fact, there was more than one party doing so.

Even if he knew, he wouldn’t have cared.

Six years had passed; what was there to care about?

And besides, it didn’t seem like there was anything worthy of concern.

....

Time flew by, and before he knew it, several days had passed.

During these three days, even though Lu Jing went to work on time every day, he hadn’t seen a certain person’s figure again.

Busy, truly too busy.

Moreover, both sides were busy, and not being in the same place naturally meant they couldn’t meet.

Gradually, he had managed to suppress the faint stirring in his heart that had surfaced previously.

Lu Jing didn’t usually follow entertainment news, so he had no idea about the online uproar dominating the hot search these past few days.

As he passed by the nurses’ station, he just happened to hear the Little Nurses whispering amongst themselves.

"They’ve withdrawn?"

"Absolutely true, it was just officially announced less than a week ago, right?"

"Why though?"

"Who knows? I heard the Jiang Family’s stance is very firm, they’d rather pay compensation than withdraw!"

"But why, exactly?"

Hearing the mention of ’Jiang Family’, Lu Jing’s steps halted:

"What’s been withdrawn?" he asked.

The Little Nurses at the station were momentarily stunned:

"Doctor Lu? Oh, we were discussing the hot search these past few days—the Jiang Group had only officially announced a few days ago that Gu Xiyue was their new global chief spokesperson, and just last night they officially withdrew, even posting the termination contract on their official website."

Terminate the contract?

Lu Jing frowned, not understanding: wasn’t Gu Xiyue seen as the future wife or granddaughter-in-law by everyone in the Jiang Family?

Just a few days ago, the day after that person got injured, Actress Gu rushed to the hospital early in the morning.

How could it suddenly...

Forget it, there’s no point in thinking so much about it.

Those were the Jiang Family’s personal matters; why should an outsider worry about them?

Lu Jing returned to his office, with just ten minutes left before the end of his shift, and sat down to drink half a glass of water.

But in less than two minutes, an urgent call came in.

"Hello?"

"What?"

"Alright, I know, I’ll come right over, please make sure you keep an eye on her."

The entire phone conversation had not even taken half a minute, and Lu Jing was too anxious to wait for the clock to mark the end of his shift.

"Dr. Yu, I’ve got an emergency and need to leave, is it possible for you to cover for me here?"

"Sure, sure, Doctor Lu, go ahead, no worries."

"Thank you."

He rushed out all the way, and once he descended the stairs and left the hospital building, he hailed a taxi:

"Driver, to the airport."

But at around 5:30 PM, it was peak traffic time.

The taxi took a full fifty minutes to finally reach the entrance of the airport terminal.

’Bang!’

The car door closed.

After getting out of the taxi, Lu Jing passed the security check and ran into the terminal.

At a glance, it was packed with people.

He was so anxious that a layer of fine sweat covered his forehead, and finally, he reached the service desk, where, after internal coordination by the airport staff, he finally saw the little rascal.

"Mommy Lu!"

The little girl, wearing a white princess dress, also had on a vest for unaccompanied children, flapping her arms as she threw herself towards him.

Lu Jing quickly caught her, and his heart, which had been hanging since the phone call, finally settled.

"Mommy Lu, Yaoyao missed you so much!"

Hisss~

"You dared to come to Z country on a plane by yourself? Who bought you a plane ticket?"

Do you have any idea how terribly you scared your Mommy Lu?
