Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Go Check the Trending Topics Yourself

However, the village chief burst out laughing:

"Doctor Lu, there is a call for you in the office."

A call?

Everyone present was surprised.

Who could blame them when none of their cell phones had signal?

It was probably envy more than anything.

Lu Jing was initially stunned too, but quickly realized who must have called, and his expression changed dramatically.

Finally, Doctor Wei stepped in and tugged a few times:

"Doctor Lu? Xiao Lu?"

Lu Jing then stopped cursing inwardly and turned to Doctor Wei:

"Doctor Wei, why don’t you come with me?"

After all, it was everyone’s first time in the village, and they were all strangers here, especially since it was late at night.

"Okay, I’ll come with you."

The two put down their water cups and followed the village chief.

Along the way, Doctor Wei didn’t miss the opportunity to tease and poke fun:

"Yo, who could it be? Calling you less than a day in?"

Lu Jing cleared his throat:

"Nobody."

He was still quite annoyed. Wasn’t a certain jerk supposed to be out flirting?

Doctor Wei wasn’t foolish, how could he not hear the undertones?

"Did he annoy you?"

"Yeah." There was no point in denying it.

"If someone went to the trouble of finding the village phone, it shows some sincerity. If there’s a misunderstanding, just talk it out. We’re all adults here, let’s not be childish or impulsive."

It seemed that everyone advocates reconciliation rather than separation.

Lu Jing compressed his lips:

"I know, and I’ve never doubted him. I’m just upset."

It would be strange if Lu Jing could sit still after trending on the front page of the social network with another woman.

As an outsider, Doctor Wei wouldn’t meddle too much. He had already said what needed to be said, and besides, it seemed that no real harm had been done.

"Alright, let’s go in; we’re here."

It was too cold to stand outside. The mountain winds made it chill to the bone at night, unbearable.

The village committee office was actually a row of three big tile buildings.

Lu Jing and Doctor Wei entered and saw an old-fashioned desk phone on a worn-out office desk, a model rarely seen in the city anymore.

The receiver was off to one side, clearly indicating the line was still open.

Doctor Wei gestured with his eyes several times: Answer it!

Lu Jing then stepped forward and took several deep breaths before picking up the receiver:

"Hello?"

The person on the other end of the line had been waiting.

Upon hearing the familiar female voice, he laughed:

"Wife~"

Lu Jing was in no mood for idle chatter:

"Speak to the point!"

The man on the phone finally sensed something was off:

"Lu’er, what’s wrong?"

Hadn’t everything been fine before he left on his business trip?

How good everything had been was still fresh in his memory; inwardly, he was mulling over some more of the same.

Of course, Lu Jing had no clue about his thoughts at the moment. If she did, she would probably hang up directly.

"What’s wrong? You tell me."

Uh.

Jiang Ye scratched the back of his head:

"I really don’t know, wife. What exactly is the problem? Can you tell me?"

Lu Jing frowned:

"You don’t know?"

How could that be believable?

Jiang Ye kept responding:

"I really don’t know. I just got back this morning and then was in meetings all day."

Where would he find the time to pay attention to anything else?

Except maybe to check on his wife.

Having discussed thus far, what more could Lu Jing say?

"Then you might want to check the trending topics from the past few days; after that, you’ll understand why.

It’s getting late, I need to go back and rest. We’ll talk later."
