Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Not a Seventeen or Eighteen-Year-Old Young Girl

"Well, you guys go ahead and eat; we’ll just wait here."

Ahem.

"Aunt, have you eaten yet?"

"We’ve eaten, on the plane."

A private plane at that, so the meal definitely wasn’t your average airplane food; it was quite good.

With that, the three of them continued eating, at the fastest pace they could manage.

Jiang Ye was the first to put down his chopsticks, getting on with the task of booking a hotel.

Fortunately, there was a five-star hotel not far from the hospital, just a few minutes’ walk away.

But, Jiang Ye definitely wouldn’t let a group of elders blow in the cold wind and walk at late night.

So, he also arranged for hotel shuttle service.

Of course, Lu Jing wouldn’t have to stay here all night. He’d only need to wait until all the medical reports were out, and if there were no issues, he could be discharged.

It might be past midnight by the time all the reports came in.

"Uncles, Aunties, Aunt, Uncle Three and Auntie Three, I’ve booked the hotel for tonight. We’ll just have to make do for now."

For Jiang Ye, those regular five-star hotels outside were indeed something to just make do with.

Five stars, you have to know there are different levels, right?

The Lu Family’s elders weren’t fussy:

"As long as you’ve booked it, it’s okay."

"Exactly, Xiao Ye is so thoughtful."

Clearly, the Lu Family’s elders all highly approved of Jiang Ye.

Who wouldn’t be happy to have such a son-in-law?

They could wake up from sleep smiling, you know?

And Jiang Ye, every time in front of the Lu Family, always seemed to act the part of the dutiful son-in-law.

It has to be said, sometimes a little pretense is quite effective.

Lu Jing watched on with a plain look, while Lu Yan, having been through all this before, knew all about it, right?

So, aside from the scoffing, there was a hint of deliberate mocking.

Heh, who are you putting on a show for?

Thinking back...

Seeing that it was about time, Lu Jing took the initiative and said,

"Mom, Dad, Aunt, Uncle Three and Auntie Three, why don’t you go back to the hotel first? Once we get all the reports here, we’ll head back to the hotel too."

If the Lu Family hadn’t arrived so quickly, Lu Jing hadn’t planned to stay at a hotel.

Driving back would take less than half an hour, which is quite convenient.

Lu’s mother and the others naturally had no objections:

"Alright, we’ll go to the hotel first then."

Since Lu’s mother had spoken, everyone else wouldn’t say much else.

Jiang Ye couldn’t leave, so Lu Yan accompanied the family to the hotel.

Once again, only the two of them were left in the hospital room, and Jiang Ye’s lips curled up slightly:

"Finally they’re all gone," she said softly.

How could you not be nervous in the face of so many in-laws?

The psychological pressure was huge.

Lu Jing couldn’t help but laugh:

"Weren’t you handling things quite effortlessly? My parents have been praising you non-stop!"

Jiang Ye cleared his throat and said,

"It’s psychological."

Pfft~

Lu Jing laughed uncontrollably. This person actually has psychological baggage?

So difficult!

"But tonight, we’re staying outside; the team won’t..."

The man stretched out his hand and pressed it against the woman’s forehead:

"Don’t worry, Mr. Xing knows."

The big boss being in the know, he certainly must have given his approval.

Besides, any other member of the team would handle it the same way in this situation.

It’s all about understanding human relationships!

Hearing Jiang Ye say that, Lu Jing was finally reassured; he was concerned about causing trouble.

There are so many rules in the organization; it’s easy to cross a line if you’re not careful.

As they were talking, a nurse came in:

"Let’s take your temperature."

Jiang Ye took the thermometer:

"I’ll do it."

Lu Jing didn’t refuse; it’s not like he was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
