Tang Li chuckled and said, "He's not disgusted by your dirtiness, he's afraid you'll be disgusted by him. He has Helicobacter pylori!"

Chen Lei choked hard.

He felt that President Lu's murderous gaze was going to burn Miss Tang to ashes.

Where did Miss Tang get her courage?

Lu Jianshen didn't know what to say, even though Tang Li's excuse was indeed a good one that would make the people at the table less bothered by him.

But he was really upset. How did he end up with Helicobacter pylori?

The other people at the table didn't understand what Helicobacter pylori was either, and they looked at each other blankly.

Ah Fei laughed and said, "It's nothing. Brother Ah Shen looks perfectly healthy. There's no germ there!"

Afei's wife laughed and said, "I saw it on a short video. Helicobacter pylori isn't a serious problem, it's nothing!"

Everyone was smiling, and an awkward conflict was easily resolved.

Bai Jingyue, however, was not entirely at ease.

She doesn't understand what Helicobacter pylori is. She's been blind for over ten years, isolated from the outside world, and is now incredibly backward.

After returning home, she anxiously asked her son if he had any serious illness.

When Lu Jianshen was stumped by his mother's question, he stopped hiding anything from her.

He explained his obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, but was afraid that his neighbors would mind and not understand.

"What exactly is Helicobacter pylori?"

Lu Jianshen explained helplessly, "Tang Li lied and made things up so that Afei wouldn't think I looked down on their family."

Bai Jingyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thankfully her son's health was not seriously affected.

It's all thanks to my daughter-in-law's high emotional intelligence.

She suddenly tugged at the brat's arm. "Look at you, your emotional intelligence is nowhere near as high as Tang's. You've had this obsessive-compulsive disorder since you were little, and I shouldn't have spoiled you. I should have made you change!"
