All Novel Full Chapter 51 - Medical Fees Doubled
At eleven o'clock, the Cheng family's residence was still rarely brightly lit.
The door was wide open. Cheng Ling brought Lu Qi to the door and wanted to say goodbye to him.
"I won't go in. Otherwise, both sides will be unhappy."
Lu Qi nodded. "Okay, give me the total amount of the medical fees later. I'll transfer it to you."
"Okay. Good night then. You have to sleep early. It's important to cultivate a regular schedule."
Even under the dim light, Cheng Ling still caught Lu Qi's smile.
This smile was not his usual polite smile. It carried some sincerity, and Cheng Ling could not help but ask.
"Why are you smiling?"
Lu Qi stopped smiling and explained seriously, "I'm sorry, I just feel that... your instructions are very similar to a mother's reminders."
Cheng Ling was speechless.
Are you polite?
"Don't be angry, I didn't mean anything."
Perhaps seeing that Cheng Ling didn't laugh with him, he quickly explained.
Cheng Ling still didn't speak, which was quite scary.
"You... aren't going to treat my illness, right?"
Cheng Ling almost laughed when she heard this.
Treating illnesses wasn't something to be trifled with, how could she just not treat it?
She cleared her throat. "No, but the medical fee will be doubled!"
Lu Qi raised his hand and patted his chest, looking as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
"That's good. The problem that money can solve is not a problem."
The closer it was to midnight, the colder the temperature became.
As a qualified doctor, Cheng Ling would not let her patient go against the doctor's orders.
"Hurry up and go in. I'm going back, too."
"Okay, be careful when you go back. The road is slippery in the rain."
Cheng Ling agreed, opened the umbrella and walked into the rain.
She returned after two steps. Lu Qi was still in his original position, as if he was watching her leave.
"What's wrong?"
"Reach out your hand."
Lu Qi reached out his hand obediently. At this moment, Cheng Ling felt that Lu Qi was like an obedient golden retriever.
Cheng Ling dug in the pocket of her coat.
She grabbed everything in her hand and placed it in Lu Qi's.
Lu Qi's hand was big, and he steadily caught everything.
He lowered his head -- it was a pile of peanuts. There was still wet soil on it, and it emitted a faint earthy smell.
"I came out in a hurry, so I didn't have time to put it in a bag. I just dug these peanuts out tonight. You can eat them. It's definitely good for your body."
Lu Qi didn't mind putting the peanuts that were stained with soil into the pocket of his expensive windbreaker.
This time, Cheng Ling really left without looking back.
Her back was always light and firm. Lu Qi only entered the Lu family's house after she disappeared from his sight.
No one came out to greet him. He walked through the hallway and heard a conversation in the living room.
His figure appeared in the living room first, and it was Lu Xiu who noticed him.
"Ah Qi, are you done with your discussion with Miss Cheng Ling?"
Xie Wan quietly rolled her eyes.
What else was there to talk about with Cheng Ling? It was just that the two of them had found each other.
Lu Qi's expression was much better than before, and Lu Xiu was relieved. He let Lu Qi sit beside him.
The living room of the Cheng family was indeed much bigger than Cheng Ling's small villa. The antique furniture and the crystal chandelier with the high ceiling made the place look magnificent.
But there was a feeling of overdoing.
Lu Qi began to miss Cheng Ling's small but sophisticated furniture and decorations.
Everything was so perfect.
As they were discussing business, the Cheng family had invited Lu Dong and all to the side hall, which was separated from the main hall by a wall.
Lu Xiu saw that Cheng Ming was still talking non-stop about how good his business plan was.
He had a headache listening to it.
The idea was robust, but the reality was very bony. Cheng Ming's plans, let alone a year, based on the current strength of the Cheng family, probably could not be completed in 10 years.
He drank the tea that was already cold and said, "Mr. Cheng, thank you for your hospitality. Now that my brother's matter has been settled, it's not convenient for us to disturb you anymore."
Xie Wan, who was sitting at the side, was already a little sleepy, but she had no choice but to wake herself up. She immediately interjected, "Mr. Lu, why are you so polite? It's our honor to have you here. There's nothing that you disturb."
"But it's really late now. Young Master Lu is very busy. You must have been busy all day. We won't disturb your rest."
Lu Xiu nodded. He stood up and buttoned up his suit before calling Lu Dong and the others out.
Lu Qi's small villa had yet to be completed. He had to take care of the time, so that he did not disturb Cheng Ling and her grandmother's rest. And also due to the recent weather, he had to stop work from time to time.. Thus half of the project was still unfinished.
