Ruan Qingling's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "It shouldn't take too long. I need to go out for a while."
Song Shiting frowned slightly and asked her, "What are you going to do?"
Ruan Qingling recounted her previous visit to Lu Yuanping to Song Shiting: "Since we're all connected to someone surnamed Lu, I should also try to build a good relationship with him."
She spoke those last few words slowly and heavily.
Song Shiting's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but it quickly disappeared: "Then be careful."
Ruan Qingling: "Don't worry, I'm just going to meet the Song family today."
After Ruan Qingling left, Song Shiting kept staring at the empty doorway of the ward. When she was there, the ward had a certain vitality, but after she left, the ward felt strangely empty.
...
Lu Yuanping had already called Lu Hongming, and the two of them waited for a long time at the bird house.
Lu Hongming looked outside; no one came over.
He said, "Grandpa, you really met a girl with amazing massage skills? And she even promised to teach you massage techniques? She won't stand you up, will she?"
Lu Yuanping said, "What pigeons? We were talking about thrushes that day."
Lu Hongming touched his head, realizing that his grandfather had misunderstood her: "I wasn't talking about thrushes or pigeons, I meant she might not be coming."
Lu Yuanping shook his head and said, "I think that girl is a person who keeps her promises. Whether a person lies or not can be seen from their eyes. I guess something happened today that delayed her."
Lu Hongming asked, puzzled, "Grandpa, you're so sure after only meeting him once?"
Lu Yuanping smiled slightly.
"Mr. Lu is indeed a man of keen insight." Ruan Qingling's clear voice rang out at the door.
Lu Yuanping chuckled.
Lu Hongming turned his head and froze. He never expected that it would be the woman he had invited many times to treat his grandfather, but who had always refused.
To my surprise, she actually agreed to Grandpa's request!
"It's you?" he exclaimed in surprise.
Ruan Qingling smiled faintly and said with the same questioning tone, "So it was you."
Lu Yuanping looked at the two of them and asked, "You two know each other?"
Lu Hongming then recounted the story of the massage sketch: "Grandpa, we asked her for that sketch before."
Lu Yuanping chuckled and said, "Fate, it really is fate."
Ruan Qingling also said, "It really is fate."
She looked at Lu Hongming and said, "Since you want to learn, I believe it will be much simpler. I will demonstrate according to that picture, and you will understand it more easily."
Lu Hongming nodded and said, "Okay."
He wasn't a professional to begin with, and even just following the instructions from the diagrams took him a long time.
Ruan Qingling directly massaged Lu Yuanping's acupoints, demonstrating the procedure.
Now it's easier to remember.
Lu Hongming learned quickly: "Learning this way really feels different."
Ruan Qingling said, "Okay, remember it well later."
Lu Hongming nodded.
Having finished her task, Ruan Qingling prepared to leave.
Lu Yuanping quickly called out to her, "Young lady, don't leave so soon. You are truly talented. Where are you working now?"
Ruan Qingling smiled slightly and said, "I was fortunate enough to receive this technique from an old man. For the time being, I don't have any work in this area."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanping was surprised and immediately said, "You really have skills."
Lu Hongming said from the side, "How about we invite you to be my grandfather's caregiver?"
Ruan Qingling didn't come here for a nursing job. She smiled slightly and said, "I'm not originally from Jingcheng. I came here only because my husband is going to stay in Jingcheng for a month."
Such a beautiful and capable girl, how come she's already married?
Lu Yuanping asked in surprise, "You're already married?"
Ruan Qingling smiled slightly: "Yes."
Lu Yuanping said regretfully, "Oh, I still don't know your name."
Ruan Qingling said confidently, "My name is Ruan Qingling."
Lu Hongming was stunned for a moment, feeling as if something huge had struck a nerve, causing him a sharp pain.
He looked at Ruan Qingling with disbelief.
The woman had beautiful features, a melodious voice, and exquisitely delicate features: bright almond-shaped eyes, cherry lips, and arched eyebrows. She looked as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Is she the kind of person that Ruan Meiying described as having a vicious heart, being petty, and holding a grudge?
The surprise in Lu Hongming's eyes was all too obvious.
Seeing this opportunity, Ruan Qingling smiled slightly and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Lu Hongming opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say. His emotions suddenly became complicated again!
Lu Yuanping asked, "Your surname is Ruan?"
Ruan Qingling smiled slightly: "Yes, sir, my surname is Ruan."
Lu Hongming couldn't help but ask, "What's your relationship with Ruan Mushan?"
Ruan Qingling didn't hide anything from her; the purpose here was to cut off all of Ruan Meiying's escape routes. She asked, "Do you know her too?"
Lu Hongming nodded solemnly.
Ruan Qingling said, "We just had a test."
Lu Hongming asked directly, "And the result?"
Clearly, this question was asked hastily.
Only after asking the question did I realize how abrupt my question had been.
Ruan Qingling also looked at Lu Hongming with a surprised expression.
Lu Hongming had no choice but to explain, "I spoke too quickly just now. It's like this, I was a little surprised. My family and the Ruan family have some history together, you could say they are old friends."
Ruan Qingling had a gentle, refreshing smile on her face.
So that's how it is!
Lu Yuanping felt like he was getting senile. How come he still couldn't understand a single word they were saying?
He asked his grandson, "What were you saying just now? What did you mean? Why didn't I understand a word you said?"
Lu Hongming couldn't tell Ruan Qingling in front of her how many things he had done to harm her, but his face turned bright red as he said, "Grandpa, I'll tell you later, there might be a big misunderstanding in the meantime."
Lu Yuanping is the kind of person who wants to know things immediately; how could he possibly wait for them to be unraveled slowly?
"What misunderstanding?" he asked.
Lu Hongming, recalling what Ruan Meiying had told him before, said, "We may have all been deceived. Ruan Meiying is not the long-lost daughter of the Ruan family."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yuanping's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by calm.
He nodded and said, "Since we've been deceived, we should cut our losses as soon as possible."
For Lu Hongming, however, this matter was no longer as simple as just cutting his losses.
He couldn't say it to Ruan Qingling's face, so he could only say, "Grandpa, I'll tell you about my matter later."
Seeing his grandson's serious expression, Lu Yuanping simply nodded.
Ruan Qingling had no intention of staying any longer; she had already achieved the result she wanted by coming out today.
She's going back.
"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Lu Hongming wanted to keep Ruan Qingling, but he realized he had no excuse to keep her there...
