Chapter 88 Too Many Doubts
The two walked back home.
When he got home, Lu Jingshen told Li Shaofen and Lu Guojiu that he had something to do at work and would try to go back in the afternoon and come back next week.
Li Shaofen said, "If you have something to do, go back first and let Xiaoxia stay at home for two days before going back."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled on the side. Sometimes blood relationship is really not that important. As long as people get along with each other sincerely, they will actually have a lot of feelings for each other, like her mother-in-law.
Lu Jingshen could only say to Li Shaofen, "Mom, we finally don't have to live apart anymore. Can you please stop snatching Xiaoxia from me recently?"
Li Shaofen quickly said, "Mom didn't think enough about this. You two should go back together. But come back next week if you have time."
Lu Jingshen quickly agreed.
After lunch, Li Shaofen packed a lot of vegetables, dried fruits, and cleaned chickens for them, filling up a bag.
Now that the family is well off and earns more, Li Shaofen is more willing to spend money on them.
After Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned to the city, they sent the things home and then called Dr. Chen's home.
As a result, Dr. Chen's family said that Dr. Chen was hospitalized and undergoing chemotherapy in the Oncology Department of the City Central Hospital. He now has an infection and is in the intensive care unit and cannot see visitors.
There's really nothing I can do about it. I can't just ignore the patient's body and disturb their treatment, right? I can only wait and see if Dr. Chen is feeling better before visiting him again.
After returning home, Ai Xiaoxia said that she didn't care, as she had been through so many years and was not close to them, but without an answer, she was still not at peace inside.
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia so depressed, Lu Jingshen thought of taking her out for a walk. Coincidentally, Sun Qiang called him yesterday and said that the barbecue restaurant had been decided and asked Ai Xiaoxia to go over and take a look at the decoration when she was free. He thought of taking Ai Xiaoxia there to change her mood.
Ai Xiaoxia really wanted to do something to divert her attention, so she went with Lu Jingshen to the store that Sun Qiang mentioned.
When they went there, Sun Qiang happened to be there. After greeting each other, Sun Qiang said to Ai Xiaoxia, "Sister-in-law, we're waiting for you to design the store."
Ai Xiaoxia thought the store looked good, with two floors. Sun Qiang was a big businessman, so the store he chose was indeed not small.
She said, "I'll go buy some paper, a pen, and a ruler and start drawing the floor plan. The renderings will be ready in two days, and we can start decorating soon. I see this place used to be a restaurant, so the renovations are mostly done on the surface. The walls and the kitchen won't be much changed, so it won't take too long."
She also wants to save costs as much as possible, and of course doesn't want to make it too independent. It is better to appropriately cater to the aesthetics and habits of contemporary people.
Sun Qiang said, "I've found a place to order the range hood and those grill pans. We'll be working on both at the same time and we'll be open before New Year's Day."
"Then let's open it earlier. By the way, I'll recommend a friend to come work here. He's from our compound, he's a good person, and he's helped me before." Ai Xiaoxia greeted Sun Qiang in advance.
"If sister-in-law says that he is a good person, then there will be no problem. Just let someone come directly when the time comes." Sun Qiang said.
Ai Xiaoxia talked to Sun Qiang about some things about opening a store. Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia's enthusiasm and smiled. He didn't know why this girl loved doing business so much, but she did have talent.
After saying that, Sun Qiang rushed out to buy paper, pen and ruler.
Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia looked around the store again. Ai Xiaoxia also looked at the original building, wondering how to make the least changes and achieve the best effect.
After finishing the shop business, it was already late, so Sun Qiang dragged the two of them to have dinner together.
It was already dark when Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned home.
Before, Ai Xiaoxia wanted to pursue Lu Jingshen, but her life experience made her want to put that matter aside. After finishing the drawings and finalizing the decoration plan for the barbecue restaurant in the next two days, she would go to the hospital to check on Doctor Chen's condition. If the condition was not good, she would go back to Dawa Village and stay for a few days to see if she could find out anything.
Seeing that Ai Xiaoxia was still distracted after returning home, Lu Jingshen was not very reassured. He had wanted to develop his relationship with the little girl as quickly as possible during this period, but now Ai Xiaoxia's background was very important to her, so he decided to resolve this matter first.
After washing up, Lu Jingshen knocked on Ai Xiaoxia's door: "Can you come in?"
Ai Xiaoxia sat on the bed and answered, "The door is not locked, come in."
Lu Jingshen walked to Ai Xiaoxia's bedside and sat on the chair next to the desk: "If you feel uncomfortable and can't sleep, I'll stay here and talk to you, okay?"
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen and smiled: "Lu Jingshen, why are you so nice?"
Lu Jingshen also laughed: "I'm not so nice to everyone."
Ai Xiaoxia moved closer to Lu Jingshen. "Lu Jingshen, am I being too sensitive? My past shouldn't be that dramatic, right? Am I overthinking it?"
Lu Jingshen said, "Didn't I tell you? Don't let any doubts remain in your heart. No matter what happens, we must give ourselves an answer."
"Yes, otherwise I would always feel uneasy. By the way, can you help me see the design direction of this barbecue restaurant?" Ai Xiaoxia handed several sketches to Lu Jingshen.
After looking at it, Lu Jingshen smiled and said, "You've drawn so well. What else can I say except praise? You are indeed a talented person, very gifted. I will definitely enjoy the best of both worlds with you in the future."
Ai Xiaoxia also smiled and replied: "Sister will help you become rich and powerful in the future."
Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia and frowned: "Little girl, do you still want to be a big sister?"
Ai Xiaoxia thought to herself, I am older than you at heart, but I can’t say it.
Lu Jingshen added, "I'm glad you're in a good mood. By the way, we've been in the city for a while now, and now that we've settled down, it's time to go visit grandma. We can't be too polite."
Ai Xiaoxia also understood this logic: "Then I'll go buy some gifts tomorrow. When you get off work tonight, shall we go to my uncle's house?"
"Okay, I'll leave the gift to you."
"Don't worry about this."
After chatting for a while, it was getting late, so Lu Jingshen went back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, Ai Xiaoxia finished making a suspender skirt for Jiang Xiuying's daughter, waiting to go to Jiang Xiuying's house with Lu Jingshen one day to formally express her gratitude.
After the clothes were ready, she saw that it was still early, so she went to the department store and bought some supplements. She knew that Wang Jinfeng was vain, so she bought her vain gifts, which were well-priced and packaged. After all, she was Lu Guojiu's biological mother, so she had to consider the monk's favor rather than the Buddha's.
At noon, Lu Jingshen looked at the gifts and felt very emotional, because they were indeed in line with Wang Jinfeng's style, but she was really vain.
In the afternoon, Ai Xiaoxia started drawing again. Being busy, she had less time to think about her life experience.
When Lu Jingshen got off work in the evening, Ai Xiaoxia was already dressed and put on some light makeup. The two of them went to their uncle Lu Guosheng's house with gifts.
However, on the way, the two of them had lunch at a small restaurant. Otherwise, it would be lunchtime if they went there, and it would not be good to delay other people's meals.
