The four of them squeezed around a small dining table, eating the simplest breakfast, but they all felt genuinely at ease.
Lu Gengsheng only ate a few bites and silently watched everyone else eat.
Only after all three of them put down their chopsticks did a relieved smile appear on Lu Gengsheng's thin, bony face.
"Xiaoyue, with you taking care of Yi'er from now on, I have nothing to worry about."
"And Dr. Fan, thank you for bringing so many things over again..."
Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Fan Huijun suddenly felt that Liang Shiyue was a soft and sweet girl, and quite adorable.
She is tall and has a slender figure with gentle features. Although she is not a beauty at first glance, she is very pleasing to the eye.
Most importantly, she has a good personality and genuinely likes Lu Yi.
“Uncle Lu, since I am Lu Yi’s god-sister, his elders are also my elders. Please stop treating me like an outsider.”
Lu Yi got up and started clearing the dishes.
Liang Shiyue quickly handed over a basin, and the two of them tacitly cleaned the table.
After leaving the house, one of them washed the dishes and the other did the laundry, acting as if they had been together for a long time.
Lu Gensheng glanced at the figure outside the door and lowered his voice, saying, "Dr. Fan, after I leave, I'll leave these two children in your care."
Fan Huijun had thought about it on her way here.
Since she has decided to get involved in Lu Yi's life, she won't abandon him halfway through.
"If he's willing, I'd like to bring him home. I'm an only child, and my dad dreams of having a son!"
"Uncle Lu, don't worry, I will treat Lu Yi like my own brother and won't let him suffer any grievances."
Lu Gensheng looked astonished.
But then he shook his head.
“Lu Yi has always had his own ideas since he was a child. After my cousin and his wife passed away, I wanted to go and take care of him, but he disagreed.”
“He said I should have my own life. At first, I thought he wanted to find his biological parents, but later I realized that he just didn’t want to cause me any trouble.”
Fan Huijun had already figured it out.
A teenager who is not yet an adult not only sees through life but also distinguishes right from wrong so clearly, he must be a child with a very strong sense of self-esteem!
But the more he acted like this, the more heartbroken Fan Huijun felt.
Lu Gensheng hesitated for a moment, then took a document out from under his pillow.
"Dr. Fan, I have a favor to ask, and I wonder if you would be willing to help me with this?"
Fan Huijun readily agreed, "Uncle Lu, please speak."
Lu Gensheng glanced cautiously at the two people chatting and laughing outside the door, then handed the folder to Fan Huijun.
"I want to leave all of this to Lu Yi, but I don't know if what I wrote is correct. I asked a lawyer, but several lawyers gave different opinions, and I don't know who to believe... but I believe you!"
Before Fan Huijun could speak, a figure flashed outside the window, and Lu Yi walked towards the door carrying the washed dishes.
Fan Huijun quickly stuffed the folder into her bag.
He changed the subject, saying, "Uncle Lu, I have things to do at the hospital today, I'll come see you again tomorrow."
Lu Yi put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a towel to wipe his hands, and didn't notice the brief exchange of glances between Fan Huijun and Lu Gengsheng.
"Dr. Fan, would it be convenient for you to take Xiaoyue back to the city?"
"Of course!"
"Alright, I'll see you off!"
After the two got into the car, Lu Yi knocked on Fan Huijun's car window.
He handed her a thick envelope.
“Dr. Fan, I know you’ve been good to me and my uncle, but I have to pay you back this money. Otherwise, my uncle will blame me if he finds out.”
Fan Huijun shrugged and laughed, her bright eyes blinking.
"Xiao Yi, you've already had the hospital refund my money, and you're still putting on an act with me? Don't you have too much money?!"
Liang Shiyue had no idea what the two were talking about.
I couldn't get a word in edgewise.
But she knew very well that Lu Yi's adoptive parents were not wealthy.
In addition, during those two years, both of them fell ill, and apart from an old two-bedroom apartment, they didn't leave Lu Yi with much savings.
He has survived until now by doing odd jobs and receiving overt and covert assistance from his uncle.
She had secretly slipped him money before, but it was returned the next day.
That's just his strong-willed nature; he would never take advantage of others in the slightest.
Lu Yi shook his head repeatedly, "No, the people at the hospital said that someone has already paid for me, so a refund cannot be processed."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Fan Huijun was also completely confused.
"Could the hospital have kindly reduced the fee? That's impossible. If they were reducing the fee, the hospital office would have explained it to the family... and..."
Fan Huijun took out her phone and found the refund text message.
After checking the time carefully, she exclaimed in surprise, "Was it the afternoon Uncle Lu was discharged from the hospital?"
She thought it was the day she took Lu Yi to the hospital.
It was only then that they discovered that the money had been refunded to the original payment method just a few hours after they had paid.
This means that someone else paid the money!
After a moment's thought, Fan Huijun and Lu Yi were both startled, "Lu..."
Without needing to say it aloud, Lu Yi had already guessed it.
He knew beforehand that Lu Baozhi worked at that hospital, but Lu Gengsheng's condition that day was critical, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Fan Huijun knew that Lu Yi wouldn't feel at ease until the money was returned. She tapped her fingers on the steering wheel, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
"How about we have someone look after Uncle Lu for a bit? You get in the car, and after we drop Xiaoyue off, I'll go with you?"
Liang Shiyue also gleaned some clues about the matter from their conversation.
With a worried look on his face, he said, "Lu Yi, let me go with you!"
She's now Lu Yi's officially acknowledged girlfriend, and she wants to see just how ruthless and heartless the Lu family really is.
If they dare to bully Lu Yi again, she is prepared to go all out.
