"Okay, as long as you like it." Lu Jiaming didn't insist on the issue of address. He smiled and asked, "Are you at home now?"
"No, I just left the hospital and prepared to go home. Are you back?"
"Hospital? Are you sick?"
"It's not me, it's my grandma who is sick and hospitalized. My mother is here to take care of her. I will send some things over."
"Oh..." Seeing that his girlfriend was not sick, Lu Jiaming relaxed a little, but immediately asked with concern, "Is grandma seriously ill? I'll go to the hospital to see her elderly person tomorrow."
He couldn't wait to reveal his identity in front of the Fei family elders.
Fei Xue was slightly shocked, and immediately said calmly: "It's not serious, it's just that you are getting older, and it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable. The doctor said that you should just rest more and rest more, so... well, you don't need to be so busy.
It’s a toss-up.”
"No matter how busy I am, I should still visit my elders."
Fisher was a little embarrassed. She didn't even tell her family who her boyfriend was, so she suddenly took him away...
Seeing his girlfriend's hesitation, Lu Jiaming understood and said with a smile, "You haven't told your uncle and aunt about us yet, have you?"
Fisher was also direct and admitted: "I only said that I have a boyfriend, but not who it is. My mother has too many things. I'm afraid that as soon as she finds out, she will immediately investigate all the eighteen generations of your family."
This was indeed the reason why she didn't want her mother to get involved so soon.
The two of them have just established their relationship and their relationship is not yet stable. It would be too rude to investigate this.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiaming said: "I understand auntie's feelings very well. I am worried that my baby daughter will meet someone unkindly, and I want to quickly understand and check it. It is quite normal. Don't worry, my ancestors are fine for eighteen generations. Just let auntie check it out."
"..." Fisher is a bit emo.
Didn't he understand his polite rejection?
"Tomorrow is Monday. I'm very busy. Let's see..."
"Okay." Seeing that his girlfriend still refused to back down, Lu Jiaming did not push her, and said considerately, "It's a little late, so I won't go to you. You drive carefully, and I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow."
"Well, you too, go home and have a good rest."
The guilt was always there in her heart, so Fisher did what a girlfriend should be like, being gentle and caring.
————
On Monday morning, Fisher had to go back to work and hold a regular meeting, so he naturally didn't have time to go to the hospital.
But there are also caring people in grandma's ward.
Fei's mother ate the delicious breakfast brought by Zhuo Yilin, and then looked at the white coat who was massaging the old mother's body and bones on the other side of the hospital bed, feeling a little complicated.
She chatted with her daughter on WeChat last night and confirmed that the "boyfriend" her daughter mentioned was indeed not Dr. Zhuo, which made her so melancholy that she couldn't sleep well all night.
She can understand her daughter's grievances. From a mother's perspective, she also feels grievances for her daughter.
But seeing that such an outstanding young man could not become her son-in-law, she felt very sorry.
Emotional matters cannot be forced, hey, I can only follow my daughter's wishes.
After breakfast, Fei's mother got up and packed the lunch box.
Zhuo Yilin was still massaging her grandma. When she heard the noise, she turned around and immediately said, "Auntie, please leave it alone. I'll clean it up when I leave later."
Mother Fei smiled and said, "I can still do this."
After packing her things, Fei's mother walked to the bedside and saw that her old mother was being massaged very comfortably. Then she looked at Zhuo Yilin's technique. A layman could tell that the technique was professional and formal, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Dr. Zhuo, aren't you a surgeon? Do you know how to practice traditional Chinese medicine?"
Zhuo Yilin explained frankly: "In order to take care of others, I went to study acupuncture and massage in traditional Chinese medicine."
Fei's mother understood immediately, "Is she your previous fiancée?"
"Um."
Fei's mother had a kind face and didn't think much about it. On the contrary, she felt more and more that this man was quite good.
Kind-hearted, considerate, and attentive.
In today's society, how many men can do this? They are simply rare.
She doesn't want her daughter to marry a mama's boy or a trustworthy boy who spends all day working, playing games, and lying around. Not to mention not caring about his wife, she actually wants her to support him.
Look at Dr. Zhuo, he is really a rare treasure.
"Xiao Zhuo, it's okay, you can take a rest." Grandma spoke slowly and raised her hand to signal him to stop.
"Okay, grandma." Zhuo Yilin pulled the quilt over her and covered her. She stood up and told her again, "You must have soreness in your waist and legs after lying down for a long time. You can turn over properly. If you still feel uncomfortable, call a doctor or get some help."
I can call you."
Fei's mother said quickly: "How is this possible? You are already busy enough."
"It's okay. Xiaoxue has to go to work. I happen to be in this building. It's close. It will be easier to handle anything."
Seeing how sincere he was, Mother Fei scolded her daughter in her heart. She couldn't help but said: "That girl Xiaoxue has been pampered and spoiled by us since she was a child. She has a bad temper and is very willful. You..."
Zhuo Yilin understood the meaning of her words, smiled and said, "It's not Xiaoxue's fault. I'll wait until her anger subsides before we have a good talk with her."
When Fei's mother heard this, her eyes lit up, "You mean, you...will wait for Xiaoxue? Oh, that will delay you."
Zhuo Yilin looked shy, a little embarrassed in front of his elders. He paused and said, "In my case... I have no plans to start a family, so there is no need to delay."
Grandma listened silently and understood, and quickly pulled the red thread, "Xiao Zhuo, don't worry, wait for that girl to come over, I will tell her that she has listened to me since she was a child."
Zhuo Yilin originally thought that he wanted to thank his grandmother, but unexpectedly he turned to look at her and said unhurriedly: "Grandma, this matter is not urgent. Don't force her, otherwise she will blame me even more and think that I bribed her behind her back.
you."
Although, this is indeed what he did, saving the country through curves and starting from the elders.
But if you see through it, don't tell him, otherwise he will be charged with multiple crimes.
Mother Fei is such a shrewd person. She understood immediately and said, "Don't worry, Jiang is very smart. We will find ways to make sure she doesn't blame you!"
Zhuo Yilin smiled low-key, and his cell phone rang. He took it out of his pocket, took a look, and said politely: "Auntie, grandma, I have something to go back to the department. Come back when you have time."
"Okay, go and do your work."
After sending Zhuo Yilin away, Fei’s mother called her daughter without hesitation.
"Fisher, I see you are getting more and more arrogant! Grandma is in the hospital, and I am also in the hospital. Are you just turning a blind eye?"
Over there, Miss Fei, who had just finished the meeting, said helplessly: "Mom, I have to go to work, okay? I'll go there when I get off work in the evening."
"It's so late after get off work, we all have to rest, why are you here? I don't care, you order the food in the restaurant at noon and pack it up for delivery. I will send you the menu later!"
"Mom, at noon I..."
Before Fisher finished speaking, his mother had already hung up, leaving no room for her to refuse.
Before I could recover, my phone rang again.
Taking a closer look, Lu Jiaming...
this--
You don't need to answer to know what's going on.
After returning to the office and closing the door, she answered the phone: "Hello, senior."
"Are you busy?"
"We just finished the meeting, what happened?"
"I'm free at noon, do we want to have dinner together?"
Fisher: "..."
What the hell is going on?
If she had to go to the hospital to deliver meals, Lu Jiaming would definitely go along with it. He made a strong statement last night.
"Xiaoxue? Why don't you speak?"
"Oh, yes, I... I'm very busy at noon, so I don't have time."
"What about tonight?"
"In the evening... it should be okay." She thought that she had gone to the hospital at noon and would have no plans after get off work in the evening.
"Okay, we'll see you tonight."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Fisher already received the menu from his mother on WeChat.
A high-end restaurant in the city center.
Obviously she could just call the restaurant and ask someone to pick it up, but she had to instruct her daughter, who had a serious career and was busy at work, to run errands!
I don’t know what this mother is thinking!
However, she didn't dare to complain. After all, her grandmother was in hospital, and as a junior, it was the basic filial piety for her to deliver meals.
So Fisher called the restaurant and handed over the menu.
Skip work early at noon and go to the restaurant to pick up food.
But I never expected that when a person is unlucky, his teeth will get clogged if he drinks cold water.
There are restaurants everywhere in Jiangcheng, and she unexpectedly met her real boyfriend here who was dining in the lobby.
When he was called by a familiar voice, Fisher thought he was hearing something.
It wasn't until the second sound came that she turned around in shock.
Then I saw a figure standing up on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked very familiar—Lu Jiaming!
She froze on the spot, dumbly waiting for Lu Jiaming to come to her before she blinked and came to her senses.
"You... what a coincidence, you are eating here?" She smiled dryly and was the first to say hello, with a guilty look on her face.
"Well, you said you were not free at noon, so I made an appointment with some colleagues to talk about something." He turned back and pointed to the window, where two men and one woman were sitting.
Fisher took a look and saw that everyone was in suits and leather shoes, very professional, and it seemed that they were indeed discussing business.
"Oh, then go and have dinner with them." Fisher pushed him, wanting him to go back quickly and not ask anything.
But how is this possible.
Lu Jiaming looked at her with eager eyes, after all, he hadn't seen her for a few days.
"You also invited friends to have dinner here?"
"Ah, uh... yes." She tucked her hair behind her ears uncomfortably.
"Where are your friends? How many people are there? Why don't we share a table? I'll ask the manager to change to a larger table or find a private room."
"No, no need, I..." Fisher always felt that he was very articulate, but now he really couldn't make up lies.
She was afraid that if she told a lie, she would have to tell countless lies to cover it up, and she would end up feeling more sorry for others.
Lu Jiaming clearly saw that she was hiding something and was lying, but he did not expose her. Instead, he looked at her good-naturedly, with an even encouraging look on his face.
"Hey, okay..." Fisher surrendered, slumped his shoulders, and confessed, "I'm here to pick up the food. My mother wants to eat the food here. I asked the restaurant to prepare it and I will send it to the hospital right now.
"
"Oh..." Lu Jiaming nodded and responded. He was not angry at all that she hid it from him. Instead, he suggested expectantly, "In that case, I will go with you. The lunch box is quite heavy, and you are alone.
How can I carry it?"
Fisher knew he was going to do this and confessed again, "Senior, what if I say I don't want you to go?"
"Um?"
"I'm not ready for you to meet my family so early."
"Then I'll take you there. I'm downstairs and can't go up."
