Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Mrs. Lu Clashes with the Female Rival_1

When she saw that there was a strange woman in Lu Tingli’s room, her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Young lady, who are you, and why are you in my son’s room?" Mrs. Lu’s voice contained a tinge of visible displeasure.

Where does this slutty little vixen come from!

Is she trying to destroy the relationship between her son and Bao’er?

It’s all over now. Just now, she even heard arguing, and she doesn’t know if Bao’er misunderstood something!

If it weren’t for her sanity holding her back, an imaginatively enraged Mrs. Lu would have definitely grabbed a broom and chased her out.

"Mrs. Lu, hello." Jiang Rou, upon seeing that she was Lu Tingli’s mother, immediately placed great importance upon her, adjusting her hair before politely saying, "Let me introduce myself, I’m a doctor from the research institute’s medical team, and also the leader of the in-house opera troupe. My name is Jiang Rou, you can call me Rou, or Dr. Jiang."

"I heard Captain Lu was injured in the earthquake, so I came to visit and express my concern," she added, to convey her care for Lu Tingli.

Mrs. Lu slightly lifted her eyelids, glanced at her, and responded indifferently, "Is that so..."

After saying that, she ignored her and instead happily engaged Xia Ningxing in conversation about family matters.

"Bao’er, have you eaten? If not, I’ll go and make you something right now."

"Mrs. Lu, I’ve already eaten, there’s no need to trouble you," Xia Ningxing replied with a smile.

"Oh, there’s no need to be so polite." Hearing this, Mrs. Lu couldn’t help but playfully scold her.

Compared to her cool demeanor towards Jiang Rou, Mrs. Lu’s attitude towards Xia Ningxing was as if she was her own daughter; anyone with clear eyes could see the difference in warmth and distance.

Jiang Rou maintained her smile on the surface, but she was nearly gnashing her teeth. She hadn’t expected that Lu Tingli’s partner would be so close with his mother!

To those unaware, they would probably think the two were mother and daughter!

Truly envious!

However, she seemed to think of something and suddenly exclaimed with a sigh, "Mrs. Lu, I heard before the earthquake struck that a young girl went to Tom City to find Captain Lu. If it weren’t for her seeking him out, Captain Lu wouldn’t have left the lab. You know, the research institute’s labs are earthquake-resistant. If he hadn’t gone out, he wouldn’t have been buried underground and gotten injured."

She had heard people mention a girl looking for Captain Lu before and hadn’t taken it seriously, but looking at the situation now, she guessed it was probably the woman before her.

Heh, she just didn’t believe Mrs. Lu would still be kind to the girl who got her son injured after knowing the truth!

However, she was clearly going to be disappointed. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu didn’t even blink.

Instead, it was Xia Ningxing who furrowed her eyebrows, looking at Lu Tingli as if to confirm the truth of this statement.

"Baby Xing, don’t listen to her nonsense," Lu Tingli suddenly spoke up, his displeasure evident as he tightened his gaze on Jiang Rou, his voice icy, "Dr. Jiang, do you know what the situation was like then? Why are you trying to sow discord here? That day, our team had already completed its mission, and we weren’t in the lab. We had each returned to our rooms to rest. If it weren’t for Ningxing suddenly coming to find me, I might have already been asleep."

"Would one still be unharmed in the midst of an earthquake while awake, let alone asleep?"

"Dr. Jiang, don’t you think?"

His pointed question left Jiang Rou red-faced and speechless.

She stammered, "So, so that’s how it was..."

"Young lady, it’s getting late, and it’s about to get dark outside. You should head back now, so your family won’t worry," Mrs. Lu said after she was finished, unable to hold back her urge to send the guest away.

Having lived for most of her life, she could see that this woman before her was interested in her son, but unfortunately, what she disliked the most were these types of women who enjoyed stirring up trouble.
