Chapter 280 That girl is nice
Spending the day with Lu Min was truly unbearable.
Wei Qianqian felt like she was walking on thin ice, living in constant fear. Fortunately, Lu Min was weak and listless. Although his fever had subsided, he hadn't regained his energy.
The next day, Wei Qianqian went to work, leaving Lu Min alone at home.
"Dr. Wei." Yu Zhan went for a follow-up examination, and he stood in front of Wei Qianqian's computer with the test report in his hand.
Wei Qianqian rested her chin on one hand, holding a pen in the other, staring blankly at a certain spot.
"Dr. Wei?" Yu Zhan called her again.
Wei Qianqian then realized what was happening.
"So fast?" Wei Qianqian asked, holding the medical report.
Is it fast?
She had been spacing out all morning, but thankfully there weren't many patients today.
"There's nothing seriously wrong with you now. Come back for a check-up in six months," Wei Qianqian said. "Don't overexert yourself; you still need to rest and recover properly."
“Okay,” Yu Zhan replied.
Yu Zhan knew that Lu Min had returned injured, but since there was a doctor in his family, he wasn't too worried.
After a brief chat, Yu Zhan left.
Li Hai followed behind him from outside the door.
“Mr. Yu, now it’s…” Li Hai.
"Give me the car keys," Yu Zhan said. "You go back to the company first."
Li Hai handed the car keys to Yu Zhan.
Yu Zhan was going to pick up Luo Shu.
Today, Luo Shu went to Madam Ling's place to deliver the clothes that Xu Qiaomu had sent back.
Madam Ling didn't ask for many styles or quantities of loungewear. Knowing the connections within the Ling family, Xu Qiaomu quickly resolved the matter so that she could completely sever her ties with them.
Before Yu Zhan left, he greeted Luo Shu and then told Gan Chang'an to go back first.
When Yu Zhan called Luo Shu, Madam Ling was looking at clothes with little interest.
Looking at her solemn expression, Luo Shu knew that her mind was not on the clothes.
The styles of loungewear are all similar, with no special requirements and are easy to make, but Xu Qiaomu did not slack off because of this; she has excellent handiwork skills.
Luo Shu had already unpacked and re-inspected the package before it was delivered.
Madam Ling was satisfied with the quality of the product, but all she could do now was sigh.
"Madam Ling, is this... inappropriate?" Luo Shu couldn't help but ask.
Madam Ling shook her head helplessly, "I'm not dissatisfied, I just feel suffocated."
Luo Shu roughly understood her emotions.
"Can you chat with me for a bit?" Madam Ling asked.
“Of course,” Luo Shu agreed.
After finishing Madam Ling's order, she basically had nothing to do. She tried to avoid taking any orders lately, as she wanted to get some rest.
Without Yu Yu present, she couldn't finish all the work by herself.
Luo Shu followed Madam Ling to the pavilion, and the two sat down at the same time.
Hot apple and orange tea was brewing on the table, along with Hangzhou desserts.
"You must have heard the rumors circulating outside," Madam Ling sighed. "Old Ling has worked hard his whole life, finally reaching this position, and this has just happened. Outsiders don't know, only we do. That girl from the Xu family..."
They were probably dissatisfied with the early morning hours.
“Old Ling needs connections, and the Xu family has a good reputation in the city. At first, I thought our two families would be able to form a bond so easily.” Mrs. Ling poured a cup of brewed fruit tea.
Rumors have been circulating that their wedding is imminent, but it seems only those on the inside know that the eldest daughter of the Xu family has already run away.
If this matter is simply left unresolved, or if public opinion simply fades away, it will likely further damage the Ling family's image.
Luo Shu listened quietly without making any comments.
“Actually, I liked another girl in the early hours of the morning,” Mrs. Ling said.
It's just that the girl wasn't suited for the early morning, and besides, she probably already knew about Su Ting's death.
“I tried to get the girl to cooperate at first, but she didn’t like the early morning hours either.” She frowned.
The conditions at dawn weren't bad, but it seemed like none of the girls around him liked him. Why was that?
"Madam Ling, what kind of outcome do you hope for?" Luo Shu asked.
"That girl from the Xu family is quite nice," Madam Ling said with a smile.
Judging from the craftsmanship of that garment alone, it was undoubtedly superb.
Although Madam Ling had Xu Qiaomu on WeChat and the two would communicate about designs, that was all; she never revealed anything about Xu Qiaomu's private life.
Madam Ling couldn't be of much help.
Luo Shu understood what Madam Ling meant, but there was nothing she could do about it.
At this moment, a maid came over and said to Madam Ling, "Madam, you might need to take a look at this outfit."
Luo Shu thought the voice sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, so she turned her head and took a look.
That maid was Xu Can.
Xu Can was also taken aback when he saw Luo Shu.
She never expected to run into Luo Shu here. After returning home that night, she even looked up Luo Shu's information online.
Luo Shu was indeed the designer she mentioned, but she hadn't admitted it at the time. It was unexpected to run into her here today.
Xu Can was responsible for personally organizing Madam Ling's clothes at the Ling family home, and would usually help her with styling and other tasks.
She has a certain fondness for clothing matching and design, so naturally she pays attention to clothing-related matters, and recognizing Luo Shu is only natural.
"What's wrong?" Madam Ling asked.
Xu Can was too embarrassed to say, "Why don't you go and take a look?"
Madam Ling and Luo Shu exchanged glances, then got up and walked towards the dressing room.
"It was fine when I brought it back, but when I was tidying it up, I noticed that the collar of the clothes was unstitched and one of the buttons was missing. I couldn't find it." Xu Can felt a little guilty.
She was responsible for bringing the clothes back. She went to the restroom halfway through, and when she came back, she found the clothes in this state.
There are naturally no cameras in the walk-in closet, so it's impossible to find out the reason or who did it.
Luo Shu took the clothes and looked at them.
This garment doesn't look like it was accidentally smudged or damaged; it looks like it was done intentionally.
It's impossible for the quality of a handmade, custom-made garment, such as the buttons and hem, to be this poor. Besides, the garment undergoes multiple checks before being sent here.
So, the clothes only went wrong when they got here.
Madam Ling paused for a moment, but did not blame Xu Can. "It's alright, it's not a big problem."
She glanced at Luo Shu beside her and asked, "This... I might have to trouble you again."
“It’s alright, but I can’t take it. I have to send this dress back to her and wait for her to alter it before sending it back. It will probably take some time, you see…” Luo Shu.
Luo Shu couldn't take over Xu Qiaomu's custom-made clothes; that was a matter of principle.
"I'm fine with it, it's just that I'm sorry to trouble you all, I'll cover the expenses." Madam Ling smiled.
"Okay." Luo Shu nodded.
"Madam, I'm sorry, it was my fault for not watching carefully." Xu Can bowed his head and apologized.
She didn't want to lose her job because of this. It was already quite good to be able to work under the mayor's wife. In addition, Mrs. Ling was kind and had a rare good temper. The compensation she paid was also quite generous.
Even though she didn't do it herself, she was still somewhat afraid of being implicated if something happened under her supervision.
"It's alright, it's not your fault," Madam Ling comforted her.
