Chapter 5: He Was Waiting for Her Explanation

The secretary Li behind him quickly stepped forward and said, "All right, Boss Lu."

Secretary Li originally wanted to carry Su Yun Jiao on his back.

Su Yun Jiao, however, kept stepping back, deliberately waving her hand and saying, "No need, Brother Jingqing; I'll have the class monitor take me to the infirmary..."

Saying this, Su Yun Jiao also lowered her head and said, "I still have an English class this afternoon; if I leave, there'll be no one to help copy Lu Chi's notes."

"His own notes, why do you need to copy them for him?"

Facing Lu Jingqing's question.

Su Yun Jiao merely bit her lip, yet said nothing.

The secretary Li beside her couldn't help but feel heartbroken seeing Su Yun Jiao like that.

What a perfectly fine eldest miss—how could she wrong herself like this?

How has the Lu family treated her all these years?

"Miss Su, let me carry you to the hospital."

As soon as Secretary Li finished speaking, Su Yun Jiao feigned panic and said, "How could I trouble you… I can walk on my own."

Seeing this, Lu Jingqing took off his suit jacket, casually tossed it to Secretary Li, and said lightly, "Go drive; I'll take her to the hospital."

"Boss Lu..."

Secretary Li was stunned.

All that could be seen was Lu Jingqing half‑squatting.

Lu Jingqing himself was ramrod straight; even half‑kneeling on the ground he looked very proper.

"Well… then I'll trouble you, Brother Jingqing."

Su Yun Jiao directly climbed onto Lu Jingqing's back.

At the moment this scene unfolded.

Secretary Li stared blankly.

Wasn't he supposed to be embarrassed?

How could he get on the back so skillfully?

Zhou Xian had wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Lu Jingqing glance at him, the words he'd intended to say got swallowed.

Lu Jingqing's tone was indifferent, yet no one dared ignore him: "Please ask this classmate to grant Jia Jia a leave of absence."

Zhou Xian nodded.

Lu Jingqing then carried Su Yun Jiao as they walked out of the school.

At this moment, Su Yun Jiao lay prone on Lu Jingqing's back, obedient as a backpack charm.

Because Lu Jingqing has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his steps are very steady.

Su Yun Jiao need not worry at all about falling off.

All along the way, she just stared blankly at Lu Jingqing's profile.

What kind of person is this—why, in her previous life, did the Lu family scheme against her to make her end up like that?

After all, if Lu Jingqing hadn't come to Hai Cheng and merely developed overseas, she wouldn't have suffered this misfortune at all.

Inside the hospital.

Lu Jingqing helped Su Yun Jiao hand in the medical form, which was actually just paying the bill.

Secretary Li had been standing guard beside Su Yun Jiao the whole time; after the doctor prescribed the medicine, Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but turn her head and ask, "Uncle Xiao Li, can we go back now?"

"Uncle..."

Hearing that word, Secretary Li's face darkened.

Do I look that old!

"Just a moment; once Boss Lu goes to get the medicine, we can leave."

Su Yun Jiao asked, "Is there no medicine at Jingyuan?"

"Boss Lu doesn't usually stay at Jingyuan, and he's only just returned, so Jingyuan doesn't stock medicine."

"Oh..."

Su Yun Jiao gazed at Lu Jingqing not far away and asked, "Then when is Boss Lu leaving?"

"Miss Su, why are you asking this?"

Obviously, it's to find out exactly when Lu Jingqing will stay away from those Lu family people.

Ideally, the kind where he never returns to Hai Cheng for his whole life.

Otherwise, once six months pass, the Lu family will move against Lu Jingqing.

"Recently, the L Group set up a branch in Hai Cheng, and Boss Lu also plans to focus the next five years' development there, so he probably won't go back."

"What? Five years?"

Hearing this time, Su Yun Jiao's voice suddenly jumped an octave.

The patients in the nearby hallway all glanced at Su Yun Jiao sideways, looking at her with puzzled eyes.

Secretary Li froze: "Miss Su… do you really want Boss Lu to leave?"

"No."

Five years?

No wonder Lu Jingqing got into trouble in Hai Cheng in her previous life.

Turns out he never left Hai Cheng at all.

"What else is there to talk about?"

Lu Jingqing had already come over carrying the medicine.

Looking at that bag of gauze, iodine, and alcohol, Su Yun Jiao stood up and cut off Secretary Li's words, saying, "Nothing much, just chatting with Uncle Xiao Li."

When he heard the two words "uncle," Secretary Li felt another critical hit.

Actually, his age is not much different from Boss Lu's.

How come when I go to Boss Lu's place I'm called brother, but when I come to his place I'm called uncle?

"Xiao Li, go drive."

"Yes, Boss Lu."

After Secretary Li left, Lu Jingqing half-squatted, opened the bag, and took out the alcohol and iodine.

Seeing Lu Jingqing about to treat her wound here, Su Yun Jiao's leg involuntarily shrank back: "Here?"

"Hmm."

Lu Jingqing's movements were practiced; he quickly disinfected and wiped Su Yun Jiao's wound.

When the wound touched the alcohol, Su Yun Jiao drew a breath of cold air.

Lu Jingqing's hand paused, and he said: "Endure it."

"Mm!"

Su Yun Jiao behaved very obediently.

After Lu Jingqing wrapped the gauze around Su Yun Jiao's knee wound, the wound was treated.

"Can you walk on your own?"

Faced with Lu Jingqing's question, Su Yun Jiao's expression became somewhat affected.

Actually, she could already walk on her own.

Because she had deliberately slid down the stairs, there was some buffering.

Her limp at school was just an act; the wound only looked a little frightening.

But thinking of being carried by Lu Jingqing also counted as a way to get close to him, Su Yun Jiao deliberately replied:

"... Not very able."

"Then walk yourself."

"?"

Su Yun Jiao opened her mouth.

She just clearly said she wasn't very able!

Lu Jingqing had already stood up.

Su Yun Jiao feared Lu Jingqing would run off, so she hurriedly followed behind him.

Because her knee was bandaged, Su Yun Jiao's walk appeared especially awkward, limping like a lame person.

Lu Jingqing deliberately slowed his speed, so Su Yun Jiao could barely keep half a meter behind him.

When they arrived at the hospital's outdoor parking lot.

Xiao Li got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them.

All that could be seen was sweat already appearing on Su Yun Jiao's forehead.

As if they had come running all the way.

"Miss Su, when we arrive at Jingyuan later, would you like me to carry you back?"

Before Su Yun Jiao could speak, Lu Jingqing calmly said from the side: "No need, her legs are very agile."

"..."

Su Yun Jiao secretly clenched her small fists.

This Lu Jingqing!

How can the difference in attitude before and after be so great?

After getting in the car, Lu Jingqing closed his eyes to rest.

Su Yun Jiao remained silent.

Secretary Li looked at the two people in the rearview mirror and felt very strange.

Everything was fine; how did the atmosphere in the car become so strange?

When the car arrived at Jingyuan.

Only then did Lu Jingqing take out his ID from his suit pocket and place it in front of Su Yun Jiao: "Your ID."

Looking at the ID before her.

Su Yun Jiao's heart was uneasy.

The ID she had deliberately left behind was indeed seen by Lu Jingqing!

"Thank you, Brother Jingqing..."

Before Su Yun Jiao could touch the ID, Lu Jingqing pulled back the hand holding it, his tone indifferent: "I'm waiting for your explanation."
