Chapter 469: Chapter 469 Sister-in-law, Take Care

Could it be that you’re still so upset that you want to leave?

That won’t do—someone definitely won’t let you go.

As Lu Jing was changing his shoes, he asked in return,

"Is everything settled?"

The man straightened his back,

"Yeah! It’s settled!" His reply was firm and definitive.

Lu Jing looked up,

"Are you sure?"

Why so distrustful?

As a woman, she of course understood other women.

Superstar Qu could even call in the fire brigade, which clearly showed just how much she was capable of.

She didn’t seem like someone who would easily give up.

The man sighed in frustration,

"I said all that could be said. Her thoughts and actions are none of my business!"

It’s not like I’m the one who asked for it. Besides, I didn’t want it either.

It’s not my job to take care of whatever others want to do, right?

All I can do is ignore it, not encourage it, and not give her any hope.

As for everything else, I really don’t know.

Lu Jing obviously understood the man’s thoughts, but her heart just couldn’t take it.

Why couldn’t he be petulant when it was the right time?

Don’t they say that a coquettish woman has a better life?

"Jiang Ye, I don’t want to see a single thing about you and her on the internet a third time."

Three strikes and you’re out—if it happens one more time, I really won’t be able to tolerate it.

I consider myself to be quite lenient, but I’m no Holy Mother Mary.

After hearing her words, the man coughed and then chuckled,

"Yes, yes, yes, I will obey my wife’s command! I promise!"

Lu Jing had already changed her shoes and picked up her bag,

"That’s for the best!"

Saying so, she was about to open the door and leave.

But she was stopped by the man,

"Wife, you haven’t said where you’re going?"

The corner of Lu Jing’s mouth twitched,

"Where can I go? Do you think I’m you? The hospital needs me to cover a shift."

It’s serious business, okay?

It’s not like you, with all your messes.

Jiang Ye had a bunch of words stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down, and it was terribly uncomfortable.

In the end, he could only get out four words,

"I’ll drive you there."

But Lu Jing flatly refused,

"No need. I don’t need it."

The hospital is just diagonally across, it’s not that far.

Besides, right now, I really don’t want to be with you, otherwise, who knows if I’d be able to keep from hitting someone.

So, let’s just forget it.

It’s better for both of us.

Jiang Ye sheepishly touched his nose,

"Alright then, when will you be back?"

"I don’t know."

At the very least, I have to wait until someone comes out of the operating room.

Otherwise, the outpatient clinic will really have no one, and then we’d receive complaints.

...

After Lu Jing went downstairs, she looked far off towards the main entrance. The several figures that were there before had already gone.

It seemed they had left.

She shook her head in amusement: They didn’t seem very patient. I thought they would stick around.

As she passed the guardhouse again,

"Sister-in-law heading out?" the guard asked.

Lu Jing nodded,

"There’s a bit of an issue at the hospital."

"Then take care, sister-in-law."

"Alright."

After exchanging greetings, Lu Jing stepped out of the fire brigade’s main doors.

It wasn’t long before she reached the hospital across the street.

The benefit of being close was that even if you were in a hurry, you’d make it on time.

Hurriedly ascending the stairs, she arrived at her department. Without delay, she changed into a white coat and again hurried downstairs to the outpatient clinic.

When Lu Jing arrived at the outpatient office, there were already four or five patients waiting to see a doctor.

Sitting down, she didn’t even have time for a sip of water before she began calling patients,

"Patient number 69, please come to examination room 2."
