The moment Lu Jingchuan sat down, the air in the room seemed to slow down.
Fortunately, Lu Yan has been calming the atmosphere, chatting back and forth with Shen's mother, and occasionally passing on Shen Zhinian's opinions. It seemed as if Lu Jingchuan was being excluded.
The meal became increasingly difficult to swallow. Lu Jingchuan put down his bowl and chopsticks without taking more than two bites, and said sarcastically with gloomy eyes: "I was originally worried that Secretary Shen would have no one to take care of him, but I didn't expect that I was overthinking it."
"Speaking of which, I really want to thank Mr. Lu for being so timely." Shen's mother praised Lu Yan very much, praising him for about ten minutes.
In Lu Jingchuan's cold expression, Shen Zhinian hurriedly stopped talking and said, "Let me clean up the dishes."
"I'll take care of it." Lu Yan took the initiative and said, "Send Aunt Shen back by the way."
"Yes, the time has come." Mother Shen looked at the clock after his reminder.
Shen Zhinian was hesitating about how to persuade Shen's mother to return to the hospital. When Lu Yan suggested it naturally, she was extremely grateful and her eyes were filled with gratitude: "That's really troublesome, Mr. Lu."
She is now lame on one leg and really can't do any better.
"If Ms. Shen keeps saying thank you like this, I might start collecting rewards." Lu Yan had already put away the table and was joking while twisting the bag.
Shen Zhinian took it seriously: "Of course."
But Lu Yan just smiled, looked at Lu Jingchuan meaningfully, and helped Shen's mother out with the other hand.
There was only the faint sound of two people breathing in the quiet ward.
Lu Jingchuan sat near the end of the bed like a Buddha. He didn't say anything or leave. He flipped through his phone and occasionally answered a call: "Yes, send it over."
What was delivered? Does he want to work here?
Shen Zhinian couldn't help but speculate, all he could see in the corner of his eyes was him, and she really couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
His dark face definitely couldn't be called happy, so what was he doing here? Simply don't like her association with Lu Yan?
A few minutes later, another call came in.
Lu Jingchuan answered and stood up to walk out.
Shen Zhinian paid close attention to his movements and breathed a sigh of relief the moment he walked out of the ward. Before she could relax, Lu Jingchuan left and returned with a bag containing medicine in his hand.
"This is a special medicine that promotes healing." Lu Jingchuan threw the medicine to Shen Zhinian easily and seemed to mention it casually.
Shen Zhinian opened it in confusion and saw that it was a medicine prescribed by a doctor. It was expensive, not good for the fetus, and had serious side effects. Chanjuan removed it from the medicine list.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. I can just take the medicine prescribed by the hospital." She politely declined.
"The medicine prescribed by the hospital is slow to take effect and will seriously delay your recovery time. Can't you trust me?" Lu Jingchuan was ignored and refuted again and again. His patience was lost and his tone became more serious.
Of course Shen Zhinian knew that the price of not having a fetus would be a slower recovery.
Her silence was nothing more than adding fuel to the fire, completely irritating Lu Jingchuan.
"Shen Zhinian!" Lu Jingchuan rushed to the bedside, grabbed her wrist, and asked sternly: "If you are tired of this position, you can just say so! There is no need to be so humiliating!"
"Mr. Lu, do you think I was involved in a car accident?" Shen Zhinian was fed up with being repeatedly accused and suspected by Lu Jingchuan when he was the most tired and weak. He changed his usual obedience and blurted out what he originally wanted to hide: "That car went straight to the car." I came, even if I hid behind the street sign, I wasn’t spared.”
Lu Jingchuan's anger stopped on his face, and he was obviously quite surprised by this information.
Shen Zhinian immediately saw his surprise and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Mr. Lu doesn't care about his subordinates at all. Even raising a dog is too indifferent."
"No, Gu Yuan'an obviously..."
"It's really interesting. Mr. Lu didn't confirm to the person involved that something happened to me. Instead, he listened to a new person who had a problem with me. Mr. Lu, if you are here to deliver medicine, I would like to express my gratitude and please leave. " Shen Zhinian was so angry that he laughed and his heart was filled with despair. At this time, he didn't care whether he would anger Lu Jingchuan.
Lu Jingchuan's face was sullen. It was really inappropriate to continue the conversation when both parties were full of anger and grievances.
It just so happened that he was going to ask Gu Yuanan what was going on, that he had the guts to lie.
He stood up and left silently.
Shen Zhinian was stunned and stared at his back walking towards the door. So obedient? Compared to this, why didn't you say a word? are you angry?
While he was thinking wildly, Lu Yan left and came back again, still carrying the chill of the night, holding a cup of hot milk tea in his hand: "I brought you something to drink, secretly, don't let the doctor know."
Shen Zhinian stared at the cup of milk tea blankly, feeling strange in his heart.
Although Lu Yan and Lu Jingchuan were brothers, they were worlds apart. Lu Jingchuan never touched Yang Chun Shui. Not to mention buying such snacks, clearing the table, and even preparing the rice himself was a huge gift to Shen Zhinian.
But Lu Yan seems to be able to do everything with ease.
"If me being here makes you uncomfortable, then I'll leave first." Lu Yan noticed her strange mood and suggested thoughtfully.
"That's not true, it's just that Mr. Lu has been busy here for the whole day and it's time to go back and rest."
"That's right. Then I'll leave first and come back to see you tomorrow." Lu Yan said, picking up his coat and saying goodbye to Shen Zhinian.
Shen Zhinian thought he was just being polite, but she didn't expect that at breakfast time the next day, he would appear in the ward on time, along with a dark-faced Lu Jingchuan next to him.
"Lu Yan, you're here too diligently. When did you get on such a good terms with Shen Zhinian?" Lu Jingchuan said angrily.
Lu Yan smiled and asked: "Jingchuan is also very free today? I heard that Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu are going to your company, don't you have to entertain them?"
Shen Zhinian listened and took the initiative to speak to Lu Jingchuan: "Mr. Lu, if you have something to do, just go and do it."
"Are you driving me away?" Lu Jingchuan asked with raised eyebrows after hearing this.
What else was he going to say? The phone vibrated violently. Even from a few steps away, Shen Zhinian could see the words "Gu Yuan'an" on the screen.
The joy she felt from Lu Jingchuan's visit disappeared. She lowered her eyes and said in a dark tone, "I just hope that Mr. Lu will do what he needs to do."
"Hurry up, don't keep Miss Gu waiting." Lu Yan added fire at the right time.
Lu Jingchuan's face turned darker, but the phone still urged him, so he had no choice but to pick it up and walk out.
When there were only two people left in the ward, Lu Yan's eyes suddenly became serious. He stared at Shen Zhinian and asked in a low voice: "Miss Shen, after thinking about it all night, I still think it is more direct to ask you."
Shen Zhinian was stunned and said blankly: "Huh?"
"Aunt Shen said that my child is three months old. What do you mean?" He locked Shen Zhinian's eyes tightly to prevent her from avoiding his gaze.
Shen Zhinian's expression suddenly tightened and he swallowed nervously.
