CHAPTER 637: CHAPTER 130: DOES ZUO YUQING KNOW YOU’RE HERE TO SEE ME?

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingchen’s face was so dark with concern that it felt like water could drip from it, his lips thinly pressed, his jaw tensed. It was clear that he was in a very bad mood.

In his mind, Song Qiao’s lively, beautiful face appeared, and he immediately felt an intense and peculiar sensation rise within his heart.

Song Qiao was hospitalized... From the tone of Lu An’an’s voice, it seemed somehow related to him.

It was as if he had overlooked something crucial.

Knowing that Lu Jingchen would be coming, Lu An’an didn’t rush to find Song Qiao’s attending physician and was waiting near the elevator instead.

When Qin Zhe finished his call, he just happened to see Lu An’an pacing near there. Hesitating for a moment, he still spoke into the phone, "Mom, I really am fine. It’s the agent I told you about who had an accident. I need to go check on her... Yes, if they agree, and if you want to come, then I’ll have An Ke talk to her mom, because she wants to come too, you two can come over together... Alright, mom, I know what you want to say, can we talk when I get back? I have something to deal with now, hanging up... Yes, take care of yourself, don’t work yourself to exhaustion... "

By the time Qin Zhe hung up, Lu An’an had already noticed him and greeted him with a smile.

Embarrassed, Qin Zhe thought it over and still walked towards Lu An’an, rehearsing in his mind what to say before speaking up, "An’an sister, my mom and An Ke’s mom heard that Sister Qiao is in the hospital and wanted to come visit her. I wonder if that’s alright."

The mothers of both him and An Ke hadn’t known each other until they met, and later it turned out they lived in the same community, making the two mothers quite chummy.

An Ke was not one to keep secrets. When her mother called half an hour ago asking if she would be home tonight, An Ke told her mother the news of Song Qiao’s injury and hospitalization. Song Qiao had been a great help to them when she first took them under her wing, so both her mother and Qin Zhe’s mother were very grateful to Song Qiao.

Upon hearing that Song Qiao was injured and hospitalized, the two elders thought of personally making some soup to bring to the hospital for her to drink.

This was the only thing they felt they could do.

Upon hearing Qin Zhe’s words, Lu An’an was taken aback at first, but then promptly replied with a smile, "Of course, they can. Qiaoqiao is always easy to talk, she will be happy to see them too. But this is really troubling the two elders."

Qin Zhe quickly waved his hand saying, "Not at all, not at all. If my mom knew she could visit Sister Qiao, she would be extremely happy. She has been wanting to personally thank Sister Qiao for taking such good care of our family."

Lu An’an was well aware of Qin Zhe and An Ke’s situation. Even though initially she didn’t know much, Song Qiao had later shared some details with her, and she knew that Song Qiao had always been helping Qin Zhe and An Ke.

Smiling, Lu An’an added, "Qiaoqiao is a good agent, you’re lucky to be under her guidance. After all, she’s a kind-hearted girl, always trying her best to teach and help you guys."

Qin Zhe was taken aback, and then promptly nodded with a relieved smile on his handsome face, "I know!"

...

When Lu Jingchen arrived, Qin Zhe was already back in the room with An Ke, taking care of Song Qiao. Only Lu An’an was standing alone in the corridor.

The man radiated a cold aura, his tightly pressed lips a testament to his bad mood.

Lu An’an had been feeling unpleasant as well. Before seeing Lu Jingchen, she pondered how to reprimand her older brother, despite it feeling like an act of great disrespect and potentially dangerous, but when she thought about Song Qiao still unconscious in the hospital room because of her, all her fearful feelings evaporated.

But now, seeing Lu Jingchen with an icy face and aura of gloom, her resolve to reprimand him vanished, and she stepped forward somewhat fearfully, greeted him with a, "Brother."

Approaching closer and seeing the man’s somber expression and those dark, chilling eyes, Lu An’an instantly realized her big brother was truly angry.

So terrifying...

The man stopped in his tracks, looking indifferently at Lu An’an, his voice low and indifferent, "How is she?"

Lu An’an let out a sigh of relief, steadying her emotions, not intending to hide the truth, "She hasn’t woken up yet. I was about to wait for you so we could go together to her attending physician to understand the situation. Brother, what exactly happened between you, Qiaoqiao, and... Zuo Yuqing?"

Why were An Ke and Qin Zhe saying that Song Qiao’s injury and even her unconsciousness were because of Zuo Yuqing and her big brother?

Lu Jingchen didn’t speak, his jaw clenched tight, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

Frowning slightly, Lu An’an cautiously looked at her older brother and did not continue to ask any further.

Perhaps because the marriage between Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao was already an open secret in An City, many people knew about Song Qiao. Moreover, at the time at Huayi, it was the company’s executives who personally emphasized Song Qiao’s identity over the phone, so the doctor treating Song Qiao was a professor-level figure in this hospital and quite well-known in the medical community.

When Lu An’an and Lu Jingchen entered the doctor’s office, the doctor was examining the X-rays he had just received. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately turned his head and stood up to greet them with a flattering smile on his face, "Mr. Lu, Miss Lu has arrived, this is...?"

Lu An’an explained, "We’re here to find out about Song Qiao’s condition."

The doctor immediately understood and hurriedly invited Lu Jingchen and Lu An’an to sit on the sofa before taking out the X-rays taken for Song Qiao and said, "Mrs. Lu’s injury on her waist isn’t too severe. There’s also a bruise from the impact that might cause quite some pain in the next couple of days, but other than that, there are no issues. Two or three weeks of rest should be enough, and it’s especially important not to engage in any intense exercise during the recovery period..."

...

When Song Qiao woke up, it was already dusk.

Without opening her eyes, she could already smell the familiar scent of antiseptic, immediately realizing she must be in a hospital.

She opened her eyes slightly, only to be stung by the brightness and closed them again, taking quite a while to adjust. What she saw were the white ceiling, white walls, and an IV drip above her head. She tried to move but the pain was so intense that she couldn’t help but gasp and let out a groan.

"Qiaoqiao, you’re awake?" Lu An’an, who had been dozing off, immediately opened her eyes when she heard Song Qiao’s groan and saw Song Qiao grimacing in pain on the hospital bed having probably touched the sore spot. She hurried over.

With one hand covering her painfully aching waist, tears almost falling, Song Qiao looked at Lu An’an and the first thing she said was, "An’an, could I be paralyzed from the waist down?"

Lu An’an stiffened at Song Qiao’s words, immediately spitting to the side several times in rejection, poked her head and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you be paralyzed from the waist down? Stop having such wild thoughts."

With lips pursed and holding her waist, Song Qiao had a look of wanting to cry but failing to do so, pitifully said, "Then why do I only feel intense pain in my waist but no feeling in my feet?"

She only felt an intense pain in her waist, so painful that she almost didn’t want her waist anymore, but her feet felt nothing.

Upon hearing Song Qiao’s words, Lu An’an was startled and quickly stood up, flipped over Song Qiao’s blanket on the bed, and asked, "Really no sensation?"

As she said this, she directly pinched her hard!

Song Qiao, "...ouch, An’an, stop pinching me!" Damn, that hurts, how much strength did she use?

Ah, wait, she could actually feel the pain?

A smile immediately spread across Song Qiao’s face, but because her waist hurt so much, the smile was uglier than crying, "An’an, it turns out my feet are still there!"

Lu An’an, "...Song Qiao, you realize it’s your waist that’s injured, not your legs broken."

Song Qiao, covering her waist and grinning sheepishly, then cringed with the pain, "I just woke up, I was simply too nervous."

It was at this moment that someone opened the door to the ward, and both Song Qiao and Lu An’an looked over to see Lu Jingchen, who wore only a white shirt with no jacket, walking in.

Upon seeing Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao was taken aback, then quickly recalled everything that had happened before she passed out, and immediately averted her gaze, coldly refusing to look at him.

"Qiaoqiao, you woke up?" Seeing that Song Qiao was awake, Lu Jingchen immediately quickened his pace to her bedside, his tone full of concern and gentleness, "Do you feel pain anywhere? Hmm?"

Song Qiao did not speak, clearly showing that she didn’t want to deal with Lu Jingchen.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Lu An’an thought quickly, then stood up, looked at Song Qiao with a smile and said, "Qiaoqiao, since you’re awake, I’ll go out and buy some dinner for you."

Song Qiao’s lips moved, and she finally nodded, "Okay!"

When Lu An’an left the ward, it was just Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao left inside, and the man sat directly on the bedside, reaching out to move the hair that fell in front of her behind her ear, calling her in a gentle voice, "Qiaoqiao..."

Song Qiao immediately turned her head away, avoiding his touch, with a shallow smile on her face, she asked with a smile, "Why are you here? Isn’t Zuo Yuqing also injured? Don’t you need to take care of her? Does she know you’re here to see me?"
