Lu Jin quickly slipped back to his room and locked the door.
Lu Yuan came to the door and wanted to look at the intercom in the room. He realized that it was no longer working, and so was the doorbell system.
He immediately understood and looked in the direction of Lu Jin's room. He then opened the door and nodded at the two people at the door. He said gently, "Hello, are you General Xiao and Miss Xiao Ye?"
General Xiao suddenly saw Lu Yuan and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Xiao Ye sat quietly in her wheelchair and nodded at Lu Yuan. She said politely, "I'm Xiao Ye. Are you Mr. Lu Yuan? Director Song said you were at home. "
Lu Yuan smiled and let them in. He said, "I was in the kitchen just now and didn't hear the doorbell. I'm sorry."
General Xiao came back to her senses and quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. We were too presumptuous. I'm really sorry to disturb you. "
Gu Nianzhi was in her bedroom when she heard outsiders talking in the living room. She curiously poked her head out to take a look.
The father and daughter sitting in the middle of the living room were General Xiao and Xiao Ye.
Gu Nianzhi knew what was going on. She quickly changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash her face and comb her hair. She came out and said, "Hey, why is Sister Xiao Ye here so early? Have you had breakfast? President Lu made delicious doughnuts. If you haven't eaten them, come and have some with us … "
When Xiao Ye saw Gu Nianzhi, her hands involuntarily gripped the blanket covering her legs. She said nervously, "Nianzhi, I'm here today to apologize to you."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
Huo Shaoheng heard the noise outside from the dining room. He wanted to come over and say hello, but when he heard Xiao Ye's words, he stopped in his tracks.
She quickly scanned the living room, then looked elsewhere, but didn't see Lu Jin.
Something was wrong. Something was wrong.
He wasn't in a hurry to go out. He carefully thought about Lu Jin's words and actions after he came back last night. He concluded that after he and Gu Nianzhi went out last night, Lu Jin had probably had a conflict with his father, Huo Guanchen.
Xiao Ye had said that she wanted to apologize the moment she saw Gu Nianzhi. It was very likely that Lu Jin and the Xiao family had a feud again.
He quietly took out his phone and dialed Huo Guanchen's number.
As she waited for Huo Guanchen to answer the phone, she thought that Lu Jin's reputation as a patient with severe interpersonal disorder was not in vain. He could clash with two families the moment he met …
Huo Guanchen had just woken up when he heard his personal phone ring. He quickly grabbed it to check.
The people who knew his number were all very close family members, friends, and subordinates.
The name that appeared on the phone was "Shaoheng."
Huo Guanchen was overjoyed and quickly answered the call. He smiled and asked, "… Shaoheng? Why are you calling me so early in the morning? "
In his memory, the number of times Huo Shaoheng had called him could be counted on five fingers.
Huo Shaoheng asked directly, "General Huo, after we left yesterday, did you and the Xiao family have a conflict with Professor Lu?"
Huo Guanchen was stunned for a moment, and he despised Lu Jin even more.
Not only did this person not understand the ways of the world, but he also liked to snitch on others behind their backs …
His expression darkened, and he said unhappily, "You called so early in the morning to seek justice for your father-in-law? Yes, we did talk a little yesterday, but your father-in-law is amazing. He scolded the heavens and the earth. It's fine if he scolded me, but he actually scolded President Chen until he was embarrassed! "
"Xiao Ye almost died for Nianzhi. What's wrong with President Chen saying a few words? As for getting him to lose his temper in front of her? President Chen is already decades old, but he's been scolded like a grandson by him. "
Huo Shaoheng calmly listened to Huo Guanchen's complaints and continued to ask, "What conflict did Professor Lu have with you yesterday? Can you tell me in detail?"
Huo Guanchen stood up unnaturally and said, "I just said a few words, and he jumped into a rage."
"What exactly did he say? Who said it? Under what conditions? Can you tell me clearly?" Huo Shaoheng was relentless.
"You're interrogating a criminal!" Huo Guanchen was furious and hung up the phone.
He was also a little guilty, because the main reason why Lu Jin had flown into a rage yesterday was because he had said that he thought highly of Xiao Ye and had once thought of letting Xiao Ye and Huo Shaoheng be together.
He didn't like Lu Jin. It was fine if it was Gu Nianzhi. He was indeed capable, but if she also had a family background, wouldn't that be the icing on the cake?
Huo Guanchen also knew that it was impossible to separate Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng, so he was even more indignant. He had taken advantage of them with his words to balance himself.
Now that Lu Jin had complained, Huo Guanchen was both embarrassed and annoyed with Lu Jin.
Huo Shaoheng looked at his phone. He was completely sure that something had happened yesterday, and that Huo Guanchen was the one who had started it.
No wonder Lu Jin had been strangely quiet after he came out, and then he had the wild idea of electing the prime minister. It seemed like it was all his father's fault.
He just didn't know what was going on with the Xiao family.
After Huo Shaoheng figured it out, he came out of the dining room.
At this moment, Gu Nianzhi was already sitting next to Xiao Ye. She asked in confusion, "Sister Xiao Ye, why are you apologizing to me? I should be the one thanking you! "
Xiao Ye was slightly surprised. Did Gu Nianzhi not know what her father had said?
While she was hesitating, General Xiao said bluntly, "It's like this. After you left yesterday, Xiao Ye's mother complained because she was in a bad mood. She was indeed rude and shouldn't have said that. We completely accept Professor Lu's words. Today, we specially came to apologize to Miss Gu and Professor Lu."
Xiao Ye nodded. "Where's Professor Lu? I want to apologize to him personally. "
In a flash, Gu Nianzhi understood.
Just like Huo Shaoheng, she had also thought of Lu Jin's strange behavior last night. Now, just like Huo Shaoheng, she quickly scanned the room. As expected, he had hidden somewhere …
She was angry, amused, and a little confused. However, she still said calmly, "What are you talking about, Sister Xiao Ye? Did you really offend my father? But if you want to apologize, why didn't you apologize last night? Why did you wait until now to apologize? "
Although Lu Jin didn't go out, he was still very concerned about the movements in the living room.
However, he had disabled the internal communication system in the apartment, so he couldn't even use the surveillance cameras. Therefore, he took out a homemade device and stuck it on the door so that he could clearly hear the voices in the living room.
When he heard that not only was Gu Nianzhi not angry with him, but she also wondered why the Xiao family didn't apologize in person last night, Lu Jin finally felt relieved.
He thought happily, She's my girl after all. Her elbows are straight, and she doesn't turn on the outside at all!
Relieved, he wasn't so nervous anymore. He quietly opened the door and looked in the direction of the living room with his homemade glasses through the crack of the door.
Xiao Ye was a little embarrassed when she heard Gu Nianzhi's words. She hesitated for a moment and said humbly, "We were wrong. We should have apologized in person yesterday, but Professor Lu left in a hurry …"
"Oh, really? Then may I ask how your mother offended my father? "Gu Nianzhi was even more curious and deliberately said," No wonder my father was so angry when he came back yesterday. "
Lu Jin heard it in his room and thought in confusion, "… How was I angry after I came back? I've been performing very well … "
Xiao Ye wasn't wary of Gu Nianzhi getting to the bottom of it. From what she said, it seemed like Lu Jin hadn't said anything since he came back. She felt even more embarrassed.
While she was hesitating, General Xiao said sincerely, "Miss Gu, Xiao Ye's mother was upset last night and vented her anger on your father."
Gu Nianzhi immediately interrupted him and said with a smile, "General Xiao, Sister Xiao Ye, I thought the greatest sincerity in an apology was honesty. You're hesitating, so it's really hard for me to tell if you want to apologize or if you're here to complain. " "No, no, no! We're not here to complain! " General Xiao was anxious. It would be better if he didn't hear Gu Nianzhi. Although he knew what Gu Nianzhi meant, he was worried that Gu Nianzhi would misunderstand. That would make it even more difficult for him to ask Lu Jin to operate on Xiao Ye.
Sweat quickly broke out on his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He said in one breath, "It's because Miss Gu, you were too casual yesterday. Xiao Ye's mother felt sorry for her, so it was inevitable that her words were harsh …"
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "… Did she say it again after we left?"
General Xiao quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no! That's what you said when you were still around! "
"… Then why did you apologize to my father?" Gu Nianzhi pressed on, and her face became paler and paler. "I don't understand this logic."
"I hadn't left yet when Sister Xiao Ye's mother, Principal Chen, said those words. But for Sister Xiao Ye's sake, I didn't argue with Principal Chen. What did you say after that to make my father angry? "
General Xiao and Xiao Ye looked at each other and felt that it was difficult for them to resist Gu Nianzhi's question.
Gu Nianzhi looked at them and became even more unhappy. She said lightly, "Besides, even if it's because of what Principal Chen said yesterday, Principal Chen should be the one apologizing. How could it be General Xiao and Sister Xiao Ye? Also, why didn't you apologize to me, but to my father? What are you still hiding? "
Lu Jin was overjoyed when he heard this.
Not only did his daughter not blame him for talking nonsense outside, but she was also always thinking of him. She insisted that someone else had offended him and even wanted the "culprit" to apologize personally!
Lu Jin couldn't help but shed fatherly tears.
He pushed the door open and strode out. He said excitedly, "That's right! What are you still hiding?! Coming to my house to apologize is an ulterior motive! "
When he finally saw Lu Jin come out, General Xiao immediately said anxiously, "Professor Lu, I apologize to you on behalf of Xiao Ye's mother. I also want to ask, is it really possible for Xiao Ye's injuries to recover to how they were before they were injured?"
Lu Jin immediately stopped in his tracks and glanced at Gu Nianzhi guiltily.
His medical skills were too advanced for this world.
Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng, and Lu Yuan had all advised him not to be too high-profile. He had to try his best to keep up with the times. He just had to be a little ahead of them.
However, he had been so angry yesterday that he had almost revealed his background. He had indeed been very unsteady.
However, before Lu Jin could think of a way to answer General Xiao, Gu Nianzhi had already slowly stood up and said, "So you two aren't here to apologize, but to seek medical treatment. Actually, why do you have to do this? Sister Xiao Ye saved my life. Even if you didn't say anything, I would have thought of a way to find someone to treat you. "
Xiao Ye knew that Gu Nianzhi was unhappy. She was ashamed and sad. She said in a low voice, "Nianzhi, it's right for me to save you, but it's a favor for you to help me. I understand that. It's all my fault. I've been too depressed this year, and my emotions have affected my family. "
"My mother wasn't such a person. She was too worried about me."
As a daughter, it was only right for her to protect her mother. Gu Nianzhi wouldn't say that Xiao Ye had done something wrong.
However, she also had a father, and she had to protect her father.
Gu Nianzhi could ignore her own affairs, but she was very sensitive about her father's affairs.
You could look down on her, but if you dared to look down on Lu Jin, Gu Nianzhi would fight with her life on the line.
Gu Nianzhi walked over and held Lu Jin's hand. She said seriously to General Xiao and Xiao Ye, "General Xiao, Sister Xiao Ye, my father is a scientist. He's not good at interpersonal relationships, and he's not very good at talking."
"He's good, soft-hearted, and kind, so people always bully him."
"If anyone offends my father, they offend me, and it's even more serious than offending me. So if you want my father to treat you, let your mother apologize to my father first. "
General Xiao: "…"
Xiao Ye: "…"
Not very good at talking?
Then who was the person who had "fought with words and killed everyone" at their house yesterday?
Not only did he embarrass headmaster Chen, but even his future in-law, Huo Guanchen, had been humiliated by him..
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Lu Yuan: "…"
Good, soft-hearted, and kind?
He didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be Lu Jin's biggest fan!
Look at how thick this fan filter was. Even Lu Yuan, who had always been protecting Lu Jin, couldn't stand it anymore.
He tried to smooth things over. "… Maybe it's a misunderstanding. Come, sit down and talk. Just talk about it."
Lu Jin was overwhelmed by the joy of Gu Nianzhi's indiscriminate "shielding". He said without hesitation, "Of course it's not a misunderstanding! That headmaster Chen is just being sarcastic and echoing Huo Guanchen! "
"Huo Guanchen feels that Nianzhi isn't good enough for his son. He even said that he used to think highly of Xiao Ye and wanted the two of them to be together! And he said it in front of me! How can I tolerate you saying such things? If I tolerate this, my daughter will be looked down upon by Huo Guanchen for the rest of her life! "
"And her mother …" Lu Jin pointed at Xiao Ye, who was becoming more and more embarrassed. "Her mother obviously wants the Huo family to feel that they owe their family! It's best if my daughter takes the initiative to withdraw and make room for her daughter! "
Xiao Ye's face turned pale, but she still firmly denied it. "Professor Lu, my mother didn't mean that …"
General Xiao knew what headmaster Chen was thinking. Although he didn't agree with it, now that it had been clearly stated, he still denied it. "Professor Lu, you're really thinking too much. Although General Huo said those words, our family doesn't have such intentions. "
"You really didn't?" Lu Jin looked at Xiao Ye without hesitation and said, "If you swear that you won't steal my girl's man now and in the future, I'll treat you."
"I'll say the ugly words first. If you go back on your word after you're cured, I'll make you return to your current state in minutes. Don't blame me for being ruthless then! "
