Chapter 280 Awkwardness



Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but look in Chen Yan's direction.

Shen Yan looked at him with a bad expression, looking embarrassed as if she had been exposed.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen understood.

She wondered why such a mysterious doctor would suddenly accept Shen Yan's invitation; it seemed Shen Yan had found something on him.

"So what do you want with her?"

Lu Zheng, who was standing next to him, couldn't stay calm and immediately asked a question.

He assumed that Zhang Zhou was looking for Qiao Zhen because of something emotional.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen was also a little worried, but she was silently praying in her heart.

"I came to you to ask about what happened between your friend and me, but I didn't expect you to help me out."

Zhang Zhou gave a somewhat awkward smile.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing had happened.

If we don't step on any of Lu Zheng's landmines, the auscultation can proceed smoothly.

Meanwhile, Shen Yan's face was extremely pale.

She originally thought that their private conversations wouldn't be made public, but she didn't expect Zhang Zhou to be so inconsiderate of their feelings.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan's expression stiffened.

Lu Xiao, who was standing next to him, chuckled upon hearing this and said with a smile.

"I thought Miss Shen had some special abilities, but it turns out she's just relying on Sister Qiao Zhen."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen immediately changed the subject.

"Alright, I'm not that much older than you, stop calling me 'sister' all the time, it makes me sound like I'm much older."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao was about to retort, but seeing Lu Zheng standing to the side, he shrank back and stuck out his tongue.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from inside the study: "Mo Hai, why hasn't the doctor I invited arrived yet?"

Qiao Zhen immediately realized what was happening and pushed Zhang Zhou to the door of Old Master Lu's house: "Mr. Lu, treating Old Master Lu's illness is more important. You can continue with your work and I won't disturb you any longer."

After blurting out those words, Qiao Zhen ran downstairs without looking back. After shaking off Zhang Zhou, she clutched her chest, still shaken.

Thankfully, I didn't say anything more just now.

When she looked up, she was met with Lu Zheng's ambiguous smile.

Qiao Zhen felt like she had been tricked.

The problem is, what a coincidence that this doctor happens to be the same person as his previous business partner?

It was only after Lu Zheng specifically informed him that this happened.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like Lu Zheng did it on purpose.

But soon, Qiao Zhen discovered something even more speechless.

That is, even if Qiao Zhen felt like she had been tricked, she didn't dare to get angry at Lu Zheng.

After all, who told her to be dependent on others and cling to their coattails?

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen suppressed her resentment and gave Lu Zheng a forced smile.

"Lu Zheng, if it was Mr. Zhang, why didn't you say so sooner?"

"If I told you in advance, there wouldn't be any surprise, right?"

Lu Zheng smiled.

These words were even more infuriating, but Qiao Zhen barely managed to hold back.

"Don't you know that Zhang Zhou expressed his feelings for me before, and then expressed his feelings for my friend as well?"

Qiao Zhen was really having a headache about having to reunite with such an awkward person in this situation.

If it were work, that would be fine, but this was at a private residence, and Qiao Zhen personally greeted them.

"Oh." Lu Zheng nodded, looking as if he was just realizing it.

Qiao Zhen was too lazy to argue with him. She rolled her eyes and asked, "So, are you and Zhang Zhou on good terms?"

Lu Zheng sneered: "What makes you think I have a good relationship with him?"

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but take Lu Zheng's arm: "Didn't you kiss me in front of him before?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zheng seemed to be provoked and shook off her hand.

Seeing Lu Zheng gasp in surprise, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but ask in confusion.

What's wrong with you?

Lu Zheng's lips were taut, and his face was as black as charcoal.

“Yesterday, when Chenyan was in my car, she insisted on sitting in it and wouldn’t get out. I bumped into her and got a bruise while trying to pull her out.”

"Oh dear." Qiao Zhen said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

But then she remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Wait, you're telling me she rode in your car yesterday?"

Seeing Qiao Zhen's puzzled expression, Lu Zheng seemed to see Qiao Zhen getting the short end of the stick, and his brows relaxed slightly: "Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Nothing much..." Qiao Zhen silently rolled her eyes at him.

I want to make her jealous.

She won't let him have his way.

At that moment, Lu Zheng broke out in a cold sweat.

"Let go," Lu Zheng said through gritted teeth.

Qiao Zhen then realized that although she looked apologetic, she had never let go of his arm.

She said deliberately, "Don't be angry. My mouth and body are two separate systems, and they don't obey the commands of a single brain."

Lu Zheng glanced at her coldly, then ignored Qiao Zhen and strode towards Old Master Lu's study.

Qiao Zhen was naturally unhappy to see this, so she quickly followed Lu Zheng's footsteps, saying as she walked, "Let me also go see Grandpa Lu, he's so seriously ill."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng suddenly stopped and turned to ask, "Then let me ask you, what illness does Old Master Gu have?"

Qiao Zhen's smile froze, and then she stammered, "This... I dare not say it casually, in case I curse the old man."

"Hmph." Lu Zheng sneered, "You're quite the smooth talker."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen thought she was being praised and hurriedly chattered beside him, "How dare I call myself master? Of course you are the master here."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng's face darkened, and even his mouth pursed into a straight line.
