The true heiress returns, and at the recognition banquet, Lu Anning publicly rejects the marriage, only to be sent to a man's bed by her "loving" mother.
"Just accept your fat...
When the dinner ended, the Bai siblings looked much better than when they arrived. Bai Yue seemed to have reluctantly accepted everyone's help, and Bai Lu was the happiest.
She once thought that she would never be able to return to Kyoto in her lifetime, but she didn't expect that there would be a day when things would turn around.
Before leaving, Bai Lu smiled at Lu An Ning.
"Sister-in-law, are you interested in investing in my coffee shop?"
Lu An Ning curled his lips: "If they join, I won't get involved."
Even if Bai Lu really changed her personality, Lu An Ning didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
She didn't know why, but she just didn't like this person from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't even find the reason.
On the way back, Lu Anning looked out the window without saying a word. Tang Jingyuan thought she was unhappy about what happened tonight and took the initiative to hold her hand.
"Unhappy? Why didn't you say much during dinner just now?"
Lu Anning forced a smile and said, "I think if I tell you the truth, you won't know how to continue the conversation."
Tang Jingyuan understood: "You don't like Bailu."
He sighed softly, "You can see that it's not easy for them to be siblings. They were friends once, and they were brothers in life and death. It's not just me, Fang Le and Zhou Yao have the same attitude. Bai Yue is injured, and he needs help right now."
"So I didn't stop him. I just didn't want to force a smile."
She couldn't force herself to like someone she already disliked. Moreover, everything went smoothly during the meal. But from her perspective as an observer, it seemed like the brother and sister were performing a double act, and the three of them accepted it all.
She didn't think too much about it. It was just a coffee shop. The worst that could happen was a loss of money. To them, it really wasn't a big deal.
Seeing that Lu An Ning was rejecting the Bai brothers and sisters, Tang Jingyuan stopped talking about them.
Lu Anning had never thought about asking about the follow-up of this matter. Helplessly, Bai Yue asked her second brother to see the doctor together for his injury, and Tang Jingyuan asked her if she wanted to go with him.
Lu Anning recalled the look on Bai Yue's face that day and was curious about how serious his injury was, so he went with him anyway.
When they arrived, Gu Yu was chatting intently with Chu Huan, seemingly discussing academic issues.
When Gu Yu saw Lu An Ning, he immediately took out the snacks he had prepared.
"This is?"
"I remember you said you wanted to eat this dried meat last time. I saw it while I was on a business trip there a few days ago and brought it back for you. Take it home and try it!"
"Thank you, second brother."
Lu Anning took it with a smile, tore open a small packet on the spot, stuffed a small piece into Tang Jingyuan's mouth, and gave another packet to Chu Huan. This scene happened to be seen by the Bai family brothers and sisters who had just arrived.
Bai Yue stared at Tang Jingyuan who was eating snacks, with a smile on her face.
"It seems like it's been so long since we last met that I didn't even realize your preferences have changed. I remember you used to not be interested in those little girls' stuff."
Tang Jingyuan smiled casually: "After trying it, I found that it is actually not bad. Do you want to try it?"
Lu Anning was about to share some with them, but Bai Yue immediately refused.
"No, I'm not used to eating these things."
Bai Lu also said: "It's too hard. If you chew it too much, your masseter muscles will enlarge and you will become ugly."
Lu Anning was stunned, looking at the dried meat in his hand and frowned.
It’s just a piece of jerky, there’s no need to make such a fuss!
She smiled slightly, didn't answer, turned around and stuffed one into Gu Yu's mouth.
"Brother, you're so handsome, so a bigger masseter muscle shouldn't affect your looks, right?"
Gu Yu smiled heartlessly and nodded; "My little sister gave it to me. Even poison tastes good."
Chu Huan deliberately said "eh" and laughed continuously, but he didn't take the words of the brother and sister to heart.
While joking around, everyone also kept busy with their business. They came here today to check on Bai Yue's injuries. The external injuries on his body were secondary; the most important thing was his numb legs.
After several rounds of questioning and examination, Gu Yu and Chu Huan's faces were not looking good. In front of the brother and sister, they did not tell the truth. Chu Huan found an excuse and asked Bai Lu to push Bai Yue for the examination. After the office closed, Chu Huan's tone suddenly became solemn.
"The situation isn't as optimistic as we thought! Based on my assessment just now, surgery to repair the nerves would be troublesome, but the likelihood of success is also low, and recovery would take a long time."
Chu Huan said this, placing his hopes on Gu Yu.
"What about you? Is there a better way? If surgery can be avoided, it would be even better."
According to Chu Huan's judgment, the nerves in Bai Yue's legs might have died, which caused him to lose consciousness and be unable to stand.
Gu Yu’s face also didn’t look good!
"His pulse is complex, and he's much weaker than his peers. It won't heal overnight. I've also examined his legs, and it's not just the bones that haven't healed properly. The most troublesome thing is that he has no sensation. I'm not very confident in treating him."
Two leaders in the medical field actually said such words. One can imagine how serious Bai Yue's injuries are.
Lu Anning didn't expect this result!
"These are all old injuries, and he's long past the optimal recovery period. Instead of asking us to come in with no certainty, I actually have a better suggestion."
The three people thought of the same person at the same time!
"Second brother, are you saying that we should ask Mom to come out and treat Bai Yue's leg?"
"I once overheard my father say that my mother seemed to have obtained a secret acupuncture technique that was lost to our ancestors, and it contains a technique specifically for Bai Yue's condition. If my mother were to take action, Bai Yue's chances of recovery would be much greater."
Chu Huan was shocked: "Yes! How could I forget about Professor An, such a great god."
Lu Anning pursed her lips: "She..."
At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, Bai Lu rushed in, and knelt down in front of Lu An Ning with a thud.
"Sister-in-law! All the mistakes I made before were my fault. Please, help heal my brother. I will do anything you ask of me."
