Chapter 634: Blood Clan Loyal Butler vs. Godly Lady 63
"Xier, pour me a glass of water." Lu's mother suddenly said.
Quan Jiu poured her a glass of water. When Lu's mother took the water, she calmly pulled her arm out of Chen Peisi's arms.
Chen Peisi didn't notice Lu's mother's estrangement at all, and suggested:
"What's so good about drinking water? There's bird's nest in the kitchen. Aunt Lu, I'll ask Aunt Li to serve you a bowl."
Mother Lu shook her head: "No, I'm a little thirsty, just drink some water."
Chen's father noticed that the atmosphere was not right and came out to smooth things over:
"Normally, you'd be reluctant when I took a sip of your precious bird's nest, but now you're offering it to Aunt Lu. It seems like I'm raising someone else's daughter."
He seemed to be complaining, but anyone with a discerning eye could understand that he was planning to get married.
Mother Lu took a sip of water and placed the cup on the table.
"I don't know whose son is so lucky to marry Pei Si in the future."
Without waiting for Father Chen to respond, she looked at Quan Jiu again:
"Xier, give Zhiyao a call. Aren't you guys going out on a date tonight?"
Quan Jiu: “…”
How come she didn't know she had a date tonight?
Facing the gazes of three parties, she had no choice but to call Lu Zhiyao.
When the call was connected, Quan Jiu's voice was filled with gnashing teeth:
"When will you come over?"
After calling uncles and aunts all afternoon, she was really tired.
Lu Zhiyao chuckled softly, misunderstanding her meaning. The man's voice was low and intoxicating:
"Missed me?"
Quan Jiu: “…”
Why did she have to open her mouth to make noises?
Father Chen lowered his eyes slightly, but actually he pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.
Quan Jiu met the gazes of the Chen family father and daughter, and could only bite the bullet and said with the attitude of a little woman in love:
"Yeah, I missed you."
On the other side, Lu Zhiyao listened to her charming voice, his eyes deep.
Although he knew that she didn't do it voluntarily, a warm feeling still welled up in his heart when he heard her say that.
"Where are you?"
"The Chen family."
Lu Zhiyao glanced down at his watch and walked towards the underground parking lot:
"I'll be there in about twenty minutes."
Quan Jiu didn't expect him to come so soon, so he could only continue: "Then I'll wait for you."
After the phone call was hung up, the faces of Chen's father and daughter were not looking good. Chen's father was not a soft persimmon. He looked at Quan Jiu with a coercive and scrutinizing look.
"Is this Zhiyao's girlfriend?"
Bringing people to the door in person was clearly a warning to the Chen family.
Lu's mother shook her head.
A glimmer of light appeared in Chen Peisi's dead eyes.
"It's my fiancée."
The light suddenly went out again.
Quan Jiu watched as Lu's mother taught Chen's father and daughter a lesson for her, and decisively chose to be a silent vase.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but when Lu Zhiyao came to pick her up, the Chen family's father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief faster than she did.
………
After consultation with several experts, it was decided to perform a craniotomy on Lance.
On the day of the operation, Quan Jiu made a special call to Lu Zewen:
"Although the doctor said the surgery isn't very risky, any surgery carries risks. Are you sure you don't want to come?"
An acquisition meeting is being held in the huge office.
Lu Zewen, wearing a gray suit, sat in the main seat, his eyes lowered as he stared at the fingertips playing with the pen:
"I have a meeting to attend."
"Okay."
Quan Jiu didn't force it.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zewen stared at the off-screen phone for a long time without moving.
The conference room was silent. A group of employees looked at each other, no one dared to urge the man who was lost in thought. Or the secretary beside him couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him quietly:
"Boss Lu, it's the next department's turn to report..."
Lu Zewen raised his head calmly: "Let's start."
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sighed that it was just his illusion. He thought that Mr. Lu was affected by the phone call, but now it seems that he is still the cold-blooded businessman who puts work first.
The design manager turned on his computer and said, "Over the past month, we've made some minor adjustments to our post-acquisition market plan. We hope to..."
“Pah.”
The sound of a computer closing.
The manager looked up in horror, staring at Lu Zewen's cold face, thinking that there was something wrong with his report.
It shouldn't be.
He hadn't even gotten to the point yet.
Lu Zewen stood up and walked out of the meeting room: "The meeting will be postponed to tomorrow."
He strode out.
He doesn't want to go.
But in just a few seconds after hanging up the phone, all he could think about was the day of the hunt, when the werewolf protected him while he was stabbed and bleeding profusely.
Lu Zewen frowned slightly, looking impatient:
"I really owe him."
………
Hospital.
"I'm sorry. We tried our best, but no one expected that Mr. Lance's body structure would be different from that of ordinary people. Our medicine is ineffective on him..."
The doctor spoke with a look of regret.
When Lu Zewen arrived at the hospital, he heard these words, and his face changed slightly:
"What do you mean? A minor surgery can kill a person?!"
The doctor was frightened by the evil spirit on him and took two steps back, hiding behind Lu Zhiyao:
"We understand the family's grief, but Mr. Lance has a special medical condition, and every one of our doctors has done their best."
Lu Zewen's brain was buzzing. He had already thought of it on the way here. After Lance recovered, he would give him some money as a way of repaying him for saving his life. From then on, they would go their separate ways and owe each other nothing.
But unexpectedly, before he had a chance to speak, the two of them were really even.
"Where are the others?"
Lu Zewen couldn't explain how he felt.
Doctor: "Still in the emergency room."
When Lu Zewen pushed the door open, he saw a layer of white cloth. Amidst the nurses and doctors' attempts to stop him, he pulled it open.
The man with deep features lay peacefully on the operating table with his eyes closed. His lips were pale, but his facial features were still sharp.
The electrocardiogram and blood pressure index on the side had stopped, and it was at this moment that Lu Zewen had to face the news of Lance's death.
Quan Jiu covered the white cloth again: "You are late."
“…”
"But it doesn't matter. You didn't want to come anyway. Even if Lance died, I guess you wouldn't feel anything."
Lu Zewen stood in front of the operating table with an expressionless face.
Quan Jiu didn't say anything more and let the doctor push Lance out of the operating room.
Lu Zewen didn't know how he got back to the company.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city center. The neon lights outside the window were blurry, but what he remembered was the scene of the first time he brought Lance home.
The wrinkled little wolf cub couldn't even transform into a human form. Every day he would scream, wag his tail, howl like a wolf, hug his ankles with all four limbs, and chase him for milk.
In order to prevent the werewolves from taking people back, he brought the wolf cub with him. He would lie on his shoulder during every meeting, and everyone in the company thought he had a pet dog.
Naturally, he would not have a good attitude towards the werewolf. He would pick it up, lift it, throw it, and swing it around at any time. But the wolf cub was lucky and lived to see the day of its transformation.
