Chapter 124 The Expensive Gift He Gave Her
"Qin Yuan, now I understand why Baron said you always get your salary deducted!"
Butler Xu's helplessness was practically written all over his face.
Qin Yuan remained silent: ...I think I've come to some understanding myself!
Wen Ni walked over at this moment. As she passed Qin Yuan, she glanced at her sideways and said, "I'm not deaf. Please speak behind my back, thank you."
"..." Qin Yuan silently turned around and drew circles.
"Good morning, Mr. Lu!" Turning her head, Wen Ni smiled slightly and nodded to Lu Jianxun, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"It hasn't been long, hurry up and sit down to eat, Comrade Wen!" Lu Jianxun said, raising his hand, "You sit next to Jinye..."
"side."
He finished speaking only the last word.
Wen Ni had already pulled out a chair and sat down with ease, even having half a slice of bread stuffed into her mouth...
She habitually tried to cross her legs, but a stack of newspapers fell on her knees, stopping her from doing something uncouth and potentially revealing!
She met Lu Jinye's warning look while she was eating bread!
I almost forgot, she's wearing a cheongsam dress right now. And this is in front of former Commander-in-Chief Lu Jianxun.
As soon as he let go, the bread slice fell back onto the plate with a thud...
Inside the dining table, outside the dining table.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at her every move...
Then they all turned to look at Grandpa Lu Jianxun, who was sitting in the main seat!
Lu Jianxun was only stunned for a moment, but his expression softened quickly, and he burst into a hearty laugh!
"Haha, Comrade Wen, don't just eat bread! There's also jam and ham here! Oh, and vegetables too! Eat some of everything for a balanced diet!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Wen Ni accepted the gift with both hands.
Since Lu Jianxun didn't say anything to lecture her, she didn't need to pay attention to the strange looks others were giving her and just ate heartily on her own!
She always eats attentively, a habit she developed while on the team.
After all, if we don't hurry up and compete with those hungry wolves for food, there might not be much left, and we'll just have to go hungry!
Butler Xu and the cook exchanged a glance, genuinely surprised as they had never seen such a scene before.
Although they knew that Lu Jianxun treated Wen Ni differently, they also knew that Old Master Lu always paid the most attention to etiquette!
He was known for his strict military discipline when he was in the army, and he was the king of rules in the Lu family. None of the young masters and sons dared to violate his rules!
But now they're easing the restrictions on Wen Ni again and again, not only waiting for her to eat together, but even laughing when they see her eating so freely!?
"Comrade Wen, I have a gift I'd like to give you."
When Old Master Lu spoke again, he raised his hand and handed over an antique brown-black box.
Why give her a gift if it's not a holiday or festival?
Wen Ni harbored suspicions.
She turned her eyes and saw that Lu Jinye, Qin Yuan and the others were clearly stunned when they saw the box!
Her intuition told her that this object was no ordinary thing.
Thinking this, she immediately threw down her chopsticks, grabbed a tissue, and carefully wiped her hands clean.
Then he stood up, bowed, and very formally took the box from Old Master Lu with both hands!
Lu Jianxun watched her actions with eyes full of admiration!
"Mr. Lu, what is this?"
"Open it and take a look."
With permission, Wen Ni carefully opened the lid of the box.
The light dispelled the long-sealed darkness inside the box.
What Wen Ni saw was a book lying quietly at the bottom of the box. To be precise, it was more like a notebook as thick as a dictionary!
Simply flipping through two pages, one can see that although the handwriting is delicate, there is a hidden strength in the strokes!
After a quick glance, Wen Ni realized that this was actually a medical notebook! The contents recorded the research process and conclusions of various medical and surgical clinical experiments in great detail!
On the last page of the notes
A bold, flowing handwriting was printed on it, reading "[Li Zhongfang]"!
"Li Zhongfang... This, this is actually a handwritten letter from Li Zhongfang, the mother of Chinese surgical medicine!?"
It was rare to encounter something that caught Wen Ni's eye and made her beam with joy!
She gripped the box tightly with her hand, as if she couldn't bear to part with it!
As medical students, no one is unaware of Li Zhongfang's name. She dedicated her entire life to the advancement of Chinese surgical medicine, solving countless surgical problems and elevating Chinese medicine to a level unmatched by any other country on the international stage!
She is a role model of the times and a meritorious figure of China!
Her handwritten notes are priceless treasures, invaluable and irreplaceable, for countless medical and surgical professionals!
"I knew you would like it."
Looking at the joy on Wen Ni's face, Lu Jianxun's aged eyes revealed a gentle tenderness as he murmured, "Afang will definitely agree too. I'll give it to you!"
"Sir, are you really going to give this handwritten letter away?" Butler Xu couldn't help but step forward. "This is the only keepsake that the old lady left you!"
"Butler Xu is right, sir, please reconsider," Qin Yuan sighed.
The Lu couple's love was stronger than gold, and this handwritten letter was Lu Jianxun's only keepsake!
Old lady!?
Hearing their conversation, Wen Ni's eyebrows furrowed in surprise!
When she suddenly realized what was happening, she subconsciously looked at Lu Jinye, who was silent!
Feeling her gaze, he looked back and answered affirmatively, "You heard me right, Li Zhongfang is my grandmother."
"!!"
The next second, Wen Ni immediately closed the box. "Mr. Lu, I can't accept something so valuable."
"Why can't we have it?" Lu Jianxun waved his hand and instead asked her, "Comrade Wen, tell me, what is the original intention of those who study medicine?"
"A doctor's heart is benevolent, naturally meant to save lives and heal the wounded."
"Yes, to save lives and heal the wounded!"
Lu Jianxun pointed to the notebook box in her hand.
"It's just gathering dust here! Of course I have to hand it over to someone who can make the most of it, so as not to let down Afang's decades of hard work, right?"
"Can……"
"Given your medical expertise, I've never seen anyone as outstanding as you at such a young age! Jin Ye, have you?" Lu Jianxun posed the question to Lu Jin Ye.
Lu Jinye slowly shook his head, then looked intently at Wen Ni. "You are indeed the most suitable person to possess it. Since Grandpa has entrusted it to you, you should accept it."
"But this is far too valuable."
"You're not deliberately declining this gift because you think it's too much for an old man like me, are you?" Lu Jianxun deliberately put on a stern face.
"How could that be?" Wen Ni hugged the notebook box tightly, thought for a while and finally relented, "Then, I thank Mr. Lu in advance!"
"You're welcome." A smile returned to Lu Jianxun's face.
“But I can’t just take your things for nothing… How about this, I’ll owe you a favor, and whatever you ask, I’ll do it for you.”
"Girl, that's a serious matter! I didn't expect you to repay me in any way!"
Lu Jianxun's eyebrows curved into a smile, and he was in an extremely happy mood.
"If you really have to do something for me, then I'll trouble you, old man, just take good care of Konno for me!"
