Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Jiang Family Has Been Unsettled Lately

Lu Family members have an inherent pride in their bones.

Thankfully, no matter how difficult it was back then, Lu Yan still managed to keep the entire Lu Family afloat.

So, when the two of them were together back in the day, the only requirement Lu Jing insisted on was: "Don’t tell the family!"

The reason was just that.

"Forget about her, how are you doing in Nanxi City? Are you used to it yet?"

After all, he had been abroad for six years.

A lot of habits change with the environment.

Lu Jing chuckled:

"Mom, it’s not my first time here, don’t worry. Everything’s going well!"

"Really?"

"Of course, if you don’t believe me, come and see for yourself.

If I have time, I can even take you around to see the sights. There’s so much good food and fun here, it’s much more comfortable than in Jing City."

Lu’s mother was indeed quite tempted, she hadn’t really gone out much since she retired.

One reason was that she simply didn’t have much interest.

Another was that her daughter had been overseas, and her husband was out in the field with students conducting research practices for 360 out of 365 days a year.

For Lu’s mother alone, it was better not to go out at all.

"Let’s see, your dad said he’s coming back, and if possible, he and I can come visit you together."

Hearing that Mr. Lu was coming back, Lu Jing was of course very happy:

"Did dad mention when he’ll be back? It’s been such a long time since I last saw him!"

Over the six years, the father and daughter had barely had any video calls.

There was no helping it, Mr. Lu was really too busy.

And at any time, he might be in the deserts or Gobi of the Northwest, or in uninhabited areas, or even in primeval forests.

There’s no signal, you know?

How could there be video calls?

"He didn’t say exactly, but based on past patterns, it should be around this time."

Lu Jing quickly said:

"When dad comes back, I’ll book tickets for you guys right away."

"Sure."

After that, the mother and daughter chatted for a while before ending the call.

Lu Jing did not know that Lu’s mother hadn’t mentioned the recent events of the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family had been anything but peaceful lately, with daily noise and quarreling, especially Mrs. Jiang, who was so upset that she stayed at her parents’ home for several days.

The main reason was that the arranged marriage between Jiang Gu and the other family was called off.

Outsiders were quite confused. Weren’t the Jiang and Gu families supposed to be approaching a happy event? Why did it suddenly fall apart?

And why was it such a fierce falling out?

But the lips of everyone in the Jiang Family were sealed tight, not a single word leaked out.

This left a group of curiously minded onlookers scratching their heads in frustration!

A select few with great curiosity had already started digging deeper.

They felt that things weren’t as simple as they appeared.

There must be something going on!

...

Lu Jing had lunch at the hospital cafeteria; it was just the right time for it.

Her dormitory did have water, electricity, and gas, but no pots, pans, or utensils.

Besides, everyone was busy with work; who had time to cook?

So, it was better to eat in the cafeteria, it was convenient and quick.

"Oh, Doctor Lu?"

"Dr. Luo?"

Just as Lu Jing had finished getting her meal and was looking for a table to sit at, she ran into Dr. Luo, who was also searching for a place to sit with his tray.

Both being from orthopedics, they were naturally familiar.

Eventually, they found an empty table in a corner to sit down.

"Aren’t you off today, Doctor Lu? Why didn’t you go out and have fun?"

Lu Jing had already started eating, but Dr. Luo on the other side asked with some interest.

"Between going out and getting some extra sleep in the dorm, I choose the latter."

Pfft~

"Right, if it were me, I’d make the same choice as Doctor Lu.

Extra sleep is truly too precious for us!"
