Chapter 16 looks familiar? A key figure?



Meng Qing returned to the villa with Shi Qian's help. Shi Qian looked anxious and told the housekeeper to call the doctor immediately.

Seeing that Meng Qing was not in a good state, the housekeeper quickly called the servants to help.

Shi Qian was already weak, and although Meng Qing was thin, she was still quite tall, so it was a bit difficult for Shi Qian to help her up.

As Shi Qian walked back into the villa from the greenhouse, he was already panting heavily.

"Uncle Liu, quick, quick, call the doctor over!"

Shi Qian helped Meng Qing to sit down on the sofa, and then fell onto the sofa himself due to inertia, panting as he called for the housekeeper.

The butler was very adept at calling doctors, because Shi Qian had been ill for many years and had a dedicated doctor to take care of him.

After the maid helped Meng Qing to her room upstairs, the doctor arrived in a hurry.

When the butler led her into the guest room, Doctor Zhijia walked up to Shi Qian, who was sitting on the sofa, and bent down to examine her.

When Shi Qian saw the doctor coming towards him, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not me, look at the one on the bed."

The doctor was taken aback, but immediately realized what was happening and walked towards the bed.

Shi Qian sat for a while until his heartbeat finally calmed down, then he stood up and followed her.

When the doctor first saw Meng Qing's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, but then quickly came to his senses and stepped forward.

He glanced at Meng Qing's slightly swollen eyes and the scratch marks behind his ears, and asked, "Did he just touch anything?"

Shi Qian immediately replied, "I just went to the greenhouse for a walk, and I became like this in no time."

The doctor nodded and said, "It's probably a pollen allergy. Luckily, it was discovered in time, so it's not too serious. I'll prescribe some medicine, and you'll be fine after a few days of rest."

When Shi Qian heard that it was a pollen allergy and not serious, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Qing already knew she might be allergic to pollen, so she deliberately kept her distance in the greenhouse just to confirm if it was true.

He had recovered by the time Shi Qian helped him out and they walked back to the villa, but he still wanted to confirm some other things.

The moment he saw who the doctor was, he knew he had made the right bet.

Sure enough, it was him.

Shi Qian's personal doctor's surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Shifeng.

This Dr. Lu has another identity besides being a doctor.

He was still the eldest son of the Lu family in the capital, who was rumored to have run away from home in his youth due to a quarrel with his family. He had come to Yancheng alone right after graduation.

However, in Yan City, which is far from the capital, almost no one knows about it.

The Lu and Meng families are old friends, so Lu Shifeng had met Meng Tianqing, the head of the Meng family. The reason he was stunned when he saw Meng Qing was because Meng Qing and Meng Tianqing looked a bit alike.

However, because Meng Qing's face was showing signs of an allergic reaction and her eyes were swollen, Lu Shifeng was not entirely sure.

If anyone from the Meng family were present, they would have sensed something the moment they saw Meng Qing.

Unfortunately, Yan City is too far away, and Lu Shifeng doesn't have much contact with the Lu family now, but he can still send messages to ask when he has time.

He wrote out the prescription and handed it to Shi Qian, explaining some precautions. He then glanced at Meng Qing lying on the bed before leaving.

Shi Qian handed the prescription to the steward and instructed him to prepare it. Seeing that Meng Qing had already woken up, he bent down to look at Meng Qing's slightly swollen eyes due to an allergic reaction and frowned.

Feeling somewhat apologetic, he explained sheepishly, "I didn't know you were allergic to pollen. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken you to the greenhouse. You've suffered all this for no reason."

Looking at the boy who had just been enthusiastically introducing the flower room to him, Meng Qing saw that he was now in low spirits, and her tone softened unconsciously, carrying a hint of comfort.

"It's okay, I just found out I'm allergic to pollen."

"That doctor looked quite young. I heard from the housekeeper that his surname is Lu?"

Meng Qing asked casually.

"Yes, Dr. Lu. I don't know his exact name. I remember when my dad brought him here a few years ago, he had just graduated with his doctorate."

"But don't let his young age fool you, his medical skills are excellent. He's the one who cured my illness."

Shi Qian, remembering that her body was still far from being "good," added somewhat embarrassedly:

"Don't let my current lively appearance fool you, I used to be in very poor health and would faint at the drop of a hat. It's all thanks to Dr. Lu that I'm much better now."

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem for you right now. Dr. Lu can handle it."

Shi Qian sat by Meng Qing's bedside and talked for a while. Seeing that Meng Qing was a little sleepy, he told him to get some sleep, closed the door, and left.

Meng Qing lay on the bed, recalling Lu Shifeng's appearance, name, and what Shi Qian had said. The age and everything matched perfectly; it was indeed Lu Shifeng, the eldest son of the Lu family.

He was also the key figure in his previous life when the Meng family found him. However, because he and Shi Qian did not have a good relationship in his previous life, Shi Qian disliked him, thought he was shameful, and thought he made his mother angry, so he often locked him in the attic.

Therefore, even though he had lived in the Shi family for several years, he had never met Lu Shifeng.

It was only later, by chance, that Lu Shifeng was deeply impressed by Meng Qing's appearance. After investigating through various channels, he discovered that Meng Qing might have some connection with the Meng family in the capital, which led to Meng Qing being brought back by the Meng family.

Although Meng Qing is not in a hurry to return to the Meng family and is not in danger at the Shi family for the time being, things are unpredictable, so it is best to make preparations as soon as possible.

He recalled the scene of Shi Qian anxiously helping him up in the greenhouse just now. That concerned look in her eyes was almost unbearable for him, something he had never felt before.

Meng Qing was used to being bullied. When she was little, she had longed for the love of her adoptive parents or a good friend.

But for him at that time, family and friendship were like trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water—something he could never reach.

At first, he wanted to make friends with people his own age, but everyone looked down on him as an unwanted bastard and didn't want to play with him.

In addition, Meng Qing's adoptive parents did not have a good reputation in the village, and most of the children's parents had warned them to stay away from Meng Qing to avoid being led astray.

Therefore, Meng Qing didn't make any friends, but was bullied by a gang. He tried to fight back, but the trouble didn't stop after he fought back.

Those people complained to their own parents, who then complained to their adoptive parents, who already didn't care about Meng Qing.

Upon hearing that someone was causing trouble, he immediately assumed Meng Qing was always getting into trouble and beat her up without asking any questions.

Meng Qing was annoyed by this, so she stopped resisting. Those people just wanted to see Meng Qing humiliated, and Meng Qing didn't react at all.

These people who had banded together found it meaningless and gradually just isolated Meng Qing, without taking any other actions.

Therefore, Meng Qing was somewhat at a loss when she rarely saw genuine care from her peers.
