Chapter 936: Chapter 924: The Person Lu Zijin Likes
Lu Zijin carefully recalled the interactions with Sun Mingzhu and quickly remembered.
He looked at Qiao Jing, somewhat helplessly, and said, “The lunch you mentioned was actually distributed by our hospital, and Sun Mingzhu might not have known and thought it was bought by me personally.”
“As for the flowers, they were given to Sun Mingzhu by someone else; I just helped pass them along, and I might not have explained it clearly, which led to a misunderstanding.”
After listening to Lu Zijin’s words, Qiao Jing understood everything.
It turned out everything was a misunderstanding, and Sun Mingzhu was just being self-indulgent.
Although it was only a brief contact, from Lu Zijin’s words and actions, you could tell he was a very cultured person.
Someone like him, no matter how you think about it, wouldn’t fancy a girl with Sun Mingzhu’s temperament.
Thinking this, Qiao Jing nodded to herself and said softly, “Looks like my instincts were quite accurate.”
Lu Zijin looked at her in confusion, “What instincts were accurate?”
“Oh, nothing.” Qiao Jing raised her eyebrows, “Just thought your taste shouldn’t be too bad.”
Hearing this, Lu Zijin suddenly gave a bitter smile, “Yes, my taste is indeed not bad, or rather, it’s particularly good, it’s just that person…”
Seeing him abruptly stop halfway, Qiao Jing casually picked up his words, “That person doesn’t like you?”
Lu Zijin silently nodded, the bitterness on his lips deepened a bit.
Seeing him quite sad, Qiao Jing couldn’t help but comfort him, “Then she really is at a loss, such an excellent person like you.”
“Hearing what you said, I’m actually quite happy.”
Lu Zijin said this not out of politeness, but sincerely.
Hearing her say this, his mood inexplicably improved significantly, even he couldn’t understand why.
After a pause, Lu Zijin added, “Actually, there wasn’t much of a loss, although I don’t want to admit it, the fact is that the person she likes is more outstanding and capable than me.”
Qiao Jing said lightly, “You really are quite open-minded. If I liked someone, I would definitely try hard to fight for it.”
Try hard to fight…
Lu Zijin silently repeated those four words in his mind, suddenly feeling a bit regretful.
After all, he was the one who knew Qiao Jing first. If he had tried hard to fight for it initially, would the outcome be different now?
Withdrawing from his thoughts, Lu Zijin looked at the girl in front of him and said with some emotion, “It would’ve been great if I met you earlier; maybe after hearing your words, I would’ve insisted on not giving up and perhaps would’ve won her over…”
As Qiao Jing and Lu Zijin talked, they walked towards the direction of the banquet hall. Just as they returned to the banquet hall, Sun Mingzhu came walking over.
Seeing the two together, Sun Mingzhu’s expression changed instantly.
She just noticed Lu Zijin was gone, searched several times but couldn’t find him, and was planning to go out looking, only to see such a scene!
Approaching, Sun Mingzhu glanced at Qiao Jing, her eyes clearly displeased, “Why are you two together?”
Lu Zijin casually replied, “Just happened to run into each other.”
Hearing this, Sun Mingzhu’s mood instantly improved a lot.
In her eyes, Lu Zijin was proactively explaining to her.
Since he explained, it meant Lu Zijin cared about her!
“I’m going to find my sister.”
Qiao Jing ignored Sun Mingzhu, greeted Lu Zijin, and then turned and walked away.
Sun Mingzhu stared at her departing figure, her eyes full of malice.
Although Lu Zijin said it was just a coincidence, she didn’t believe it was that simple.
This Qiao Lao San must be trying to seduce Lu Zijin, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence!
Just wait, if anyone dares to steal her man, she’ll be relentless with them!
…
A day later, at the Zhan Corporation, in the CEO’s office.
Zhan Qipei sat at the desk, expressionlessly flipping through the documents in his hand, his chiseled handsome face exuding an indescribable sternness.
After Tang Yan finished reporting work, he hesitated for a moment but still spoke up, “President Zhan, yesterday when I went to check the performance at the central mall, I heard about something…”
At this point, Tang Yan paused, somewhat hesitant about whether to continue.
After all, it was just a trivial matter, usually not worth reporting, but he felt it was necessary to mention it, so he was a bit conflicted.
Seeing Tang Yan’s hesitance, Zhan Qipei glanced up at him, signaling him with his eyes to continue.
Receiving the signal, Tang Yan felt relieved to continue, “It’s just that Third Miss Qiao was deliberately provoked while shopping at the mall before; coincidentally, the eldest Miss was present and stepped in to help her out.”
“Third Miss Qiao…”
Zhan Qipei murmured softly, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, he finally resumed flipping through the documents in his hand.
At this time, Tang Yan suddenly thought of something, “Oh right, President Zhan, there’s another thing, I heard Wu Xirui is returning from overseas to the capital soon.”
“Snap——”
A crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Tang Yan was startled and looked up to see that his boss, President Zhan, had snapped a pen.
At this moment, Zhan Qipei was gripping the broken pen tightly, his hand bulging with veins, his lowered eyes dark and somber, exuding an aura of coldness.
Tang Yan only felt a chill down his back, stopped saying anything further, and quickly exited.
He knew that President Zhan harbored resentment toward Wu Xirui.
After all, a few years ago, if it weren’t for Wu Xirui, the young lady wouldn’t have been endangered, and she wouldn’t have ended up missing, her fate unknown to this day…
Meanwhile, at Wonderful Hall.
Qiao Jing was studying with Zhou Fu as usual, while Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin continued following another physician.
In recent days, Zhou Fu increasingly realized that the apprentice he had his eye on was not a simple person.
From his observations, her medical skills were not only improving daily but also becoming remarkably proficient.
More crucially, it seemed she naturally understood all these medical things, whether in diagnosis, treatment, or some more profound techniques.
With just a little hint, she could achieve an impressive level that even surprised him!
After seeing a patient, Zhou Fu finally couldn’t help but ask Qiao Jing in a low voice, “Did you actually study medicine under some renowned teacher before, and just kept it a secret because it’s inconvenient to talk about?”
Qiao Jing didn’t expect him to ask this suddenly and took a couple of seconds before shaking her head, seriously replying, “No, I didn’t.”
Though she appeared earnest while saying this, not showing any sign of deception, Zhou Fu couldn’t help but want to confirm once more, “Did you really never study medicine before?”
Faced with Zhou Fu’s repeated inquiry, Qiao Jing hesitated slightly.
Zhou Fu sensitively noticed a hint and said, “If it’s really inconvenient for you to talk about it, then I won’t ask anymore.”
“It’s not that it’s inconvenient.” Qiao Jing lightly pursed her lips, and said slowly, “Maybe… I might have learned before, but I just don’t remember.”
