It's no wonder Bai Jingyue suspected that Dr. Jiang had been overly concerned about Lu Jianshen's childhood and was deliberately trying to get close to her.
At first, Bai Jingyue found Jiang Xu quite approachable, but gradually she felt that Jiang Xu seemed to be a bit tactless.
Lu Jianshen was stunned for a moment.
He never expected his mother to ask such a question.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Dr. Jiang and I are just friends. I've already made things clear to her about this."
Hearing this, Bai Jingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Jingyue righteously reminded her son: "You are a married man now, and you have to be responsible for your wife and your son!"
Bai Jingyue was worried that her son would become an irresponsible person like his father, and she had to urge and remind him in a timely manner.
"I understand, Mom. I'll help you find another nursing home. My people are all there. I'll feel more at ease if you're there. The surgery is all done now."
Bai Jingyue nodded.
If Dr. Jiang had feelings for her son, she wouldn't be able to stay at this hospital.
Otherwise, she could openly enjoy the special care people give her, yet she couldn't support her son's betrayal of the family.
She was just an ordinary woman, and her thoughts weren't that complicated.
"Shen, Dr. Jiang was injured while saving me, so you should give her appropriate compensation."
Lu Jianshen nodded.
He will certainly compensate Jiang Xu, but this time, monetary compensation will hardly quell the Jiang family's anger.
What the Jiang family wants may not be financial compensation.
Jiang Xu was discharged from the hospital after her surgery; she felt uncomfortable staying in the hospital.
Previously, she was a doctor saving lives in the hospital, but now she is a patient who needs a doctor's care.
Upon learning that she might never be able to hold a scalpel again, Jiang Xu remained remarkably calm, not uttering a single word.
But this calm was abnormal; for two or three days in a row, she didn't say another word.
Grandpa Jiang was furious. When the matter was brought up, he said angrily, "You became like this because you were trying to save Lu Jianshen's mother, and he hasn't even given you a single explanation yet?"
Jiang Xu remained silent; she had done all of this willingly.
I never expected that my right hand would be ruined.
Jiang's mother, standing beside her, had red eyes and a look of resentment on her face.
"You've been thinking about him constantly, and now you've risked your life to save his mother. Don't you think he'd still want to marry you?"
That's what Grandpa Jiang was thinking too.
Marrying Jiang Xu to Lu Jianshen is the only way to quell the Jiang family's anger.
"That brat got off easy, Xiaoxu. I'll make sure he marries you!"
Jiang Xu remained silent, sitting there quietly, her right hand completely numb.
The butler came in from outside and said, "Master, Mr. Lu has arrived."
Grandpa Jiang was furious.
Seeing Lu Jianshen bring those gifts to apologize, the more he looked at the gifts, the angrier he became.
Do you think this can be made up for with a gift?
Lu Jianshen frowned slightly without showing any emotion. "What does Old Master Jiang need me to do? Just say it."
Old Master Jiang had saved his life before, and now it was Jiang Xu. Lu Jianshen knew that he had to repay this debt of gratitude.
"My request is very simple. You know, Xiaoxu has always liked you. You two should be together. Don't drag my granddaughter into this."
Lu Jianshen frowned. He had considered this possibility on his way here.
But he still thought that the old man probably wouldn't force him to do something against his will.
If it's just monetary compensation, whether it's hundreds of millions or billions, I'll accept it all, but sacrificing my marriage is unacceptable.
"Grandpa, do you really think this is appropriate? Bringing up marriage at this critical juncture is tantamount to forcing the two of us together. Such a marriage will not be happy."
Jiang Xu gripped her fingers tightly, and the gauze bandaging her palms unconsciously seeped blood.
Upon hearing this, she looked up at Lu Jianshen, her eyes slightly red.
Lu Jianshen continued, "I know that you are interested in investing in the field of smart healthcare, sir. If you need any help from me, please feel free to ask!"
When Old Master Jiang heard this, he just snorted dismissively.
"Lu Jianshen, do you think you can get rid of the Jiang family with a little money?"
“I know, sir, you saved my life. I can never repay the Jiang family’s kindness. However, it is impossible for me to marry Jiang Xu.”
Lu Jianshen's refusal was unusually firm.
He didn't want to ruin his own marriage, nor did he want to ruin Jiang Xu's future; there was no need for that.
“If you truly love your granddaughter, I can help her contact a rehabilitation doctor in Germany. It may take some time, but I am confident that she will recover.”
Old Master Jiang's face turned red with anger. He pointed at Lu Jianshen and shouted, "Get out! I don't want to see you, and I, this old man, will never forgive you! Get out!"
Lu Jianshen stood at the Jiang family's door for a long time without leaving.
Chen Lei walked over and said, "President Lu, it's getting late. Why don't we head back first and visit the old man again tomorrow?"
Lu Jianshen shook his head. There were some things he had to get the Jiang family's forgiveness for today.
Even if he waits here until dark or until tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter.
Chen Lei wanted to say something, but when he turned around, he saw that the area outside the wall was full of reporters.
Why would reporters come here at this time? Were they reporters hired by the Jiang family?
The old man of the Jiang family doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like this, so who is playing dirty tricks behind the scenes?
