Chapter 506 - Chapter 506 Chapter 506 How did I run into Qiao Yun here

Chapter 506: Chapter 506: How did I run into Qiao Yun here? Chapter 506: Chapter 506: How did I run into Qiao Yun here? He looked as if he had seen one of the world’s eight great wonders, which made Lu Zhanxing unable to resist scoffing inwardly. His sister was so well-behaved and sensible, was it just because she cared? Was such a big reaction really necessary, or was it a bit too exaggerated?

What Lu Zhanxing didn’t know was that Qiao Yun used to be very cold in her interactions, even if she cared about someone, it wouldn’t show so clearly.

That’s why Qiao Xun was so surprised this time.

In front of them, Qiao Yun was cold, independent, and very strong, but at the Lu Family, she seemed quite different.

Qiao Xun didn’t tease Qiao Yun any further, and turned to Lu Zhanxing with a gentle voice, “How have you been feeling lately?”

Lu Zhanxing replied excitedly, “I feel really great, eating well, sleeping soundly, feeling very energetic, and my memory has improved too, I’ve never felt this good.”

“Oh, really?” Qiao Xun was momentarily stunned by Lu Zhanxing’s agreeable demeanor, why did Qiaoqiao’s real brother seem a bit foolish?

Lu Zhanxing’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he gave an awkward smile.

Seeing Lu Zhanxing’s nervousness, Qiao Yun thought for a moment and raised her little hand to pat his head, “Don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid, uncle won’t bite.”

“Hmm?” Qiao Xun raised an eyebrow, “Why are you afraid of me?”

“No no no, not at all,” Lu Zhanxing shook his head vigorously in denial, firmly refusing to admit he was afraid.

Qiao Xun looked civilized, with no sense of authority, his almond eyes always smiling, polite and courteous to everyone, seeming very approachable.

But Lu Zhanxing was incredibly intimidated, mainly because the Qiao Family had fostered his sister for fifteen years, and he was afraid he might do something to upset them, which would then put his sister in a very difficult position.

Qiao Xun narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Zhanxing, seeming to see something as Lu Zhanxing’s eyes dodged away, he withdrew his gaze and asked, “Your memory’s improved, how exactly has it improved?”

Lu Zhanxing explained, “Just things from my childhood that I had forgotten, I suddenly remembered them all recently.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xun subconsciously looked towards Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun had heard about the improvement in Lu Zhanxing’s memory from him before, so there was no surprise on her face.

Qiao Xun immediately understood what might have caused Lu Zhanxing’s memory improvement, a hint of thoughtfulness flashed through his eyes.

“Is there something wrong?” Lu Zhanxing noticed Qiao Xun’s strange expression, and asked in confusion, “Isn’t an improvement in memory a good thing? I’m not experiencing a fleeting recovery, am I?”

“No,” Qiao Yun denied his idea, her demeanor serious.

Lu Zhanxing touched his nose, “Sister, I was just joking.”

Qiao Yun responded with an “oh,” her expression neutral and said nothing further.

Lu Zhanxing felt like he might have been disdained by his sister.

“There should be nothing wrong,” just to be safe, Qiao Xun said, “But we still need to do some routine checks.”

“Thank you, Dr. Qiao, for your trouble,” Lu Zhanxing was genuinely grateful to Qiao Xun.

Qiao Xun’s renown was great, countless people sought his services, yet he still took time out of his busy schedule to attend to his matter.

Qiao Xun waved a hand, “If you want to thank someone, thank Qiaoqiao, I’m here because of her.”

“Sister, thank you,” Lu Zhanxing turned his head towards Qiao Yun, smiling like an idiot.

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, “You are my brother.”

Lu Zhanxing was even happier.

Qiao Xun watched, feeling a bit envious as the sibling’s bond was indeed very strong.

Naturally, Qiao Yun would accompany Lu Zhanxing for the checkup, but before that, Qiao Xun asked Lu Zhanxing to wait outside the door for a moment, as he had something to ask Qiao Yun.

“What is it?” Qiao Yun asked.

Curiously, Qiao Xun asked, “Is his improved memory due to the New Life project?”

Qiao Yun softly hmm-ed in response, not denying the idea.

“That’s a bit unscientific,” Qiao Xun was baffled, and after a long moment, he said, “It’s just a tiny chip, why can it awaken his memory?”

Qiao Yun ambiguously said, “Science is quite magical.”

Qiao Xun thought for a moment, then laughed, “You are right, I was being narrow-minded.”

Qiao Yun nodded, not offering any further explanation to Qiao Xun.

The chip in Lu Zhanxing’s head wasn’t an ordinary chip. It contained an element she had brought from Interstellar, which could change a person’s genes.

The element was retained from her original chip, but only a little bit.

The real core was still in Number One.

Therefore, Qiao Yun was not anxious at all about someone coveting the Newbirth Project, because even with the chip, without the element, it couldn’t be implemented.

This matter concerned her origins, and that’s why Qiao Yun had not explained it clearly to Qiao Xun.

Qiao Xun did not continue to ask about it, knowing it would be overstepping to do so.

…

Zhou Xinyu’s expression immediately darkened when he saw Qiao Yun in the hospital corridor.

Why did he encounter Qiao Yun here?

His heart skipped a beat–could it be that Qiao Xun was at Shengqiao Hospital to meet Qiao Yun??

Was that possible?

Zhou Xinyu was stunned, but seeing Lu Zhanxing next to Qiao Yun, he was completely reassured.

He had indeed thought too much.

Qiao Yun must have come with the second young master of the Lu Family.

He did not take Qiao Yun seriously, just a young girl, glancing at her only briefly before continuing his search for Qiao Xun.

Shengqiao Hospital was too big, and after wandering aimlessly for a long time, he still hadn’t seen anyone.

Finally, he saw Qiao Xun in the hospital’s back garden.

From a distance, he saw Qiao Xun talking to an elderly man with a dignified appearance. Zhou Xinyu had the good sense not to rush over, waiting until their conversation was over before approaching.

“Dr. Qiao.”

Qiao Xun was suddenly blocked, his brows furrowing sharply, his eyes inadvertently showing impatience.

Zhou Xinyu paused, quickly explaining, “I don’t know if Dr. Qiao is available, but I would like to have a talk with you.”

“Who are you?” Qiao Xun’s expression had returned to normal, sizing up the person in front of him.

He seemed somewhat familiar but couldn’t remember who.

“My surname is Zhou, from the Zhou Family of Yuncheng.” Zhou Xinyu introduced himself, “We had visited you before, but perhaps you were too busy, so there was no chance to meet. I didn’t expect to encounter you here.”

Qiao Xun remembered who this person was, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, yet the words that came out were utterly merciless: “It’s not that I was busy. I just didn’t want to meet.”

Zhou Xinyu’s expression instantly became awkward, hardly believing what he had just heard.

He hadn’t provoked Qiao Xun, had he?

Why was his attitude so poor?

“Why is that?”

“Do I need a reason to not want to meet?” Qiao Xun politely countered.

Zhou Xinyu: “…”

He was irritated by Qiao Xun’s disdainful attitude, but as he was the one seeking help, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

“Our Zhou Family would like to ask Dr. Qiao for help saving someone.”

He did not beat around the bush, stating directly the purpose of his visit, “It’s my grandmother, she’s contracted a very strange illness.”

“I won’t do it.” Qiao Xun’s attitude was very firm.

Zhou Xinyu was choked again.

Is this a doctor?

Shouldn’t a doctor unconditionally save lives and aid the injured?

Is there such a thing as a doctor who refuses to save lives?

How could such a person even qualify to be a doctor?
