Chapter 223 Seeds of Doubt



On the day of the operation, Lu Anning stood guard at the door of the operating room the entire time, praying that everything would go smoothly.

Waiting was the most difficult part. Lu Anning waited from dawn until dusk, finally waiting for the lights in the operating room to dim. Chu Huan took off his mask and walked out, letting out a long sigh. Lu Anning looked at him, her heart in her throat, not daring to think the worst.

After a while, a faint smile appeared on Chu Huan's lips.

"Congratulations! The operation went smoothly."

Hearing this, Lu An Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. A faint sadness surged in his heart, and only the word "thank you" remained.

"It's my job! Next, it depends on how he recovers from the surgery."

When the person was pushed back to the ward, Gu Yu had just finished his lecture and rushed over, running into Lu An Ning.

Lu Anning greeted Gu Yu with a smile as usual. Gu Yu glanced at her and thought about what happened yesterday. He was not as kind as when they first met. He just responded lightly and looked much colder.

Lu Anning didn't try to get close to him, but listened carefully to Chu Huan's instructions on what to pay attention to after the operation.

"I'm almost done with my work. I'll see when the patient wakes up. Then I'll have Dr. Gu treat him with acupuncture and medication. He'll recover faster."

Gu Yu was still very serious about his design major, but when Lu An Ning contacted him, Gu Yu's attitude immediately changed. Lu An Ning saw it, but did not dwell on it too much, and did not mention anything about what happened yesterday.

Everything was explained clearly. Lu Anning received a call from Tang Jingyuan, who came to pick her up to go home. Just as she was about to leave, Gu Yu suddenly stopped her when she saw this.

"Lu Anning!"

Gu Yu frowned and looked at the calm woman in front of him, with displeasure in his eyes.

Lu Anning met his gaze and asked in confusion, "Doctor Gu, do you have anything else to say?"

Gu Yu snorted coldly: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Seeing that Lu Anning was not understanding, Gu Yu cleared his throat and reminded her: "About what happened yesterday."

That’s right!

Gu Yu felt that regarding what happened yesterday, Lu An Ning should at least apologize to him for her strong attitude. After all, she was the one who needed his help.

"Yesterday, what happened?"

"Lu Anning!"

Gu Yu clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and said bluntly: "My sister was injured because of you, and you have no intention of bowing your head to apologize. Aren't you afraid that I won't care about the dean's affairs? Now, you are begging me. Lu Anning, you should treat others with the attitude of begging."

Lu Anning suddenly understood. "Doctor Gu is a direct disciple of a renowned Chinese medicine master, a man of skill and compassion. I believe in your professional abilities and that you wouldn't bring your personal emotions into your work like those lesser doctors do. They're two completely different things, how can we confuse them? What do you think?"

Lu An Ning smiled, and his words left Gu Yu with nothing to find fault with. It was like a punch hitting cotton, and the anger in his chest was even greater than before.

But Lu An Ning had already said so. If he took his emotions out on the patient again, wouldn't that be admitting that he was unprofessional? Not only would his own reputation be at stake, but it would also be a big deal if it damaged his master's reputation.

Gu Yu gritted his teeth and glared at Lu An Ning: "Then let's talk about private matters. I tell you clearly, Yaoyao is the apple of the Gu family's eye. If I find out that you are causing trouble for her, not only me, but the entire Gu family will not let you go."

Lu Anning looked straight into his eyes and smiled faintly.

"Miss Gu is the envy of everyone. However, Doctor Gu, are you sure your Gu family didn't favor the wrong person?"

Gu Yu frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Do you believe there are two people in this world who are exactly alike? If Dr. Gu has time, why not go and learn more about the daughter of Jiangcheng's former Lu family, the girl named 'Lu Yunxi'?"

Lu Anning smiled mysteriously, and without waiting for Gu Yu's reply, she walked around him and headed for the elevator. As they passed by, Gu Yu saw the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she had seen through some unknown secret.

Lu An Ning deliberately didn't say it out loud. Some things are often more effective if the Gu family discovers them little by little on their own than if she said it out loud in person.

Ignoring the gaze staring at him from behind, Lu An Ning walked into the elevator without looking back. The door slowly closed, and Gu Yu withdrew his gaze. However, Lu An Ning's words remained in his mind, lingering.

Could the Lu Yunxi she mentioned be related to my younger sister?

He thought of Zhao Zheyan, opened his phone and was about to call him when Lu Yunxi called at that moment.

"Hello!"

"Brother, are you done with that? Let's go out for dinner tonight! I found out about a good restaurant that serves your favorite food."

Gu Yu listened to the sweet voice in his ears, his heart softened, and the thought that had just popped up disappeared instantly.

The little sister is innocent and well-behaved, and she doesn't look like a scheming person. Lu Anning must be jealous that the little sister has the love of her family, while she is just an orphan, so he deliberately slandered her in front of him.

Or maybe it was because her younger sister had a verbal engagement with Tang Jingyuan when she was born, which made her uncomfortable.

As an orphan, it is understandable that she feels inferior and anxious when she sees her innocent and well-behaved little sister.

How could he doubt his own sister!

Hearing Lu Yunxi's call, Gu Yu came back to his senses: "Okay! You wait at the hotel, I'll come to pick you up."

"No need. Second brother, I just arrived at the hospital entrance. Come down, I'll wait for you."

Gu Yu hung up the phone and walked quickly towards the destination. His younger sister was afraid that he would be tired, so she didn't let him run back and forth. He shouldn't doubt such a caring sister.

At the hospital entrance, Lu Yunxi had just hung up the phone when she saw a Maybach slowly stopping not far away. The unique license plate showed the unique identity of the car's owner. She raised the corners of her mouth and her eyes fell on the man in the driver's seat.

The beautiful lines outlined the perfect facial features. He was the man favored by Nuwa, but unfortunately, he was ruined by Lu Anning.

She admired the man in the car with a burning gaze, not concealing her inner desire, and involuntarily moved closer. At this moment, a figure came into her sight. Lu Yunxi's face suddenly changed, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
