"What are you here for?"
Lu Ningshuang opened her eyes at the sound of doors opening one after another, and looked at the people who came in without any hindrance, her weak voice full of self-mockery.
The private hospital where Lu Ningshuang works has investments from many parties, among which the pharmaceutical industry giant Lin is the second largest shareholder after Lu. Lu Ningshuang's biological mother is the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
The two families went to great lengths to support this only child. They specially opened a quiet sanatorium in the back mountain of the hospital to provide medical services for dignitaries and also accept some "retired" people free of charge.
Entry and exit to nursing homes are strictly controlled and require special authorization.
Lu Jin is highly valued by Mr. Lu. After he signed the invitation letter representing him to participate in the election, Mr. Lu officially authorized him to visit Lu Ningshuang at any time.
But he didn't know this "importance".
The electric door stopped moving and Lu Jin stood at the door without moving.
"You've opened so many doors, and now you still need me to invite you?"
Lu Ningshuang had already seen Lu Jin's movements from the surveillance video, but that didn't stop her from mocking him, "I didn't expect that now I have to look at your face, too?"
Meeting her cold gaze, Lu Jin felt inexplicably guilty and nervous, as if he had been seen through.
"Miss..."
Lu Jin thought of Mr. Lu’s instructions.
After signing in the study that day, Mr. Lu opened up his heart and spoke very openly to Lu Jin.
He said that he lost his wife when he was young and his son in middle age, that he was old and had difficulty walking, that his granddaughter lost her parents at a young age and was left alone, and that she was suffering from illness and was in great pain.
He said he felt bad for his granddaughter and that he had no choice...
"After all, I am not a father or a mother, and I cannot replace the role of parents.
What's more, her father passed away suddenly, leaving behind a lot of mess. I'm old now, and I'm exhausted by her father and the company's affairs, so I can't take care of her in everything...
Lu Jin, you are a good kid. I knew it the first time I saw you, so I helped you get out of the quagmire of the past and funded you to go to the university you longed for.
I am a businessman. I value returns above all else. The only reason I saved you was out of my still-extinguished conscience.
You are a smart child, and you naturally understand that there are no benefits for you. On the contrary, your family of origin and your past experiences are a hidden danger that may affect the group."
Mr. Lu patted Lu Jin's shoulder solemnly and sighed deeply. His eyes behind his reading glasses no longer had the sharpness he had in the business world.
"When you have time, please spend more time with my little girl. She is a very pitiful little girl.
Lu Jin, don't let Lu Chengfeng, who once had a conscience, fail miserably. "
As his memory returned, Lu Jin walked to the bedside with his long legs and reached out to pick up an apple that was still wet.
"Let me peel an apple for you, it can help you replenish your vitamins."
"No, it's so tasteless!"
Lu Ningshuang sneered, but didn't chase him away.
Lu Jin sat on a solid wood round stool with his head slightly lowered. The not-so-bright autumn light outside the window shone on the corners of his face, painting the other half, which did not match the gloominess of the young man.
Even with the help of Mr. Lu, his painful childhood still left an indelible mark on him. Even though he had a balanced diet in recent years, he was unable to fully replenish the energy he had lost.
He is tall and thin, but his smile is quite sunny.
"Miss, here you go."
Lu Ningshuang suddenly thought of her father who starved her to death after her mother's death. Her childhood memories were not clear, there was only a lonely shadow.
She took the apple, took a bite, and then frowned.
Lu Ningshuang never eats apples because the bland sweetness can't overcome the bitterness in her mouth. Apples placed in the house only serve as a fragrance.
"Could it be that it's broken?"
Seeing Lu Ningshuang frowning, Lu Jin's heart began to lift. Could it be that he had messed up again?
The young lady is in poor health, please don’t eat too much!
Looking left and right, he didn't see any trash can, so he simply reached out and urged:
"You can't eat it, spit it out!"
Lu Ningshuang pushed the fruit flesh against one side of her cheek and sat there motionless. She actually laughed at Lu Jin's anxious look.
The succession of the old housekeeper is directly related to the identity of the person in charge of the group. The selection cycle is very long and the competition is extremely fierce.
When all matters were finalized and relevant materials were prepared, Lu Jin officially stood in front of Lu Ningshuang as a candidate.
"Miss, I will run for the position of housekeeper of the old house."
He concealed his excitement and solemnly shared this joy with Lu Ningshuang.
Unexpectedly but understandably, Lu Ningshuang, who had already known about this, got very angry with him.
"Are you here to show off or to laugh at me?"
"Why, you want to find me through the back door?"
"You, an outsider, have lived there openly! As for me, I may sound like the little master, but in fact, there is probably no place for me there!"
"I was thrown into the hospital when I was born. I don't have a home at all!"
What bothered Lu Ningshuang was that the home she had never returned to was now occupied by a stranger who had no relationship with her, and that in the future, this person would take away everything she had.
The girl's eyes, which were scarlet due to anger, suddenly became crystal clear, and tears as big as beans rolled down like pearls, soaking the white quilt.
She huddled alone at the head of the bed, the square ward imprisoning her for her entire life.
Lu Jin walked down the street with a heart full of tears and a daze. The hustle and bustle of traffic flashed before his eyes, and finally stopped at that monotonous and pale color.
The study tasks and housekeeper training tasks were very heavy, so Lu Jin reduced the time he spent visiting Lu Ningshuang from Wednesday weekend to half a day on Sunday.
Lu Jin was extremely talented in mathematics and was highly valued by the college. The professor signed him up for a national competition without saying a word, and by the time he found out, the list of contestants had already been announced.
This kind of competition for school glory cannot be refused at all, and no one can ignore the social impact and skip the competition.
When he came back half a month later, he found himself waiting for Lu Ningshuang outside the emergency room.
"What happened to the young lady?"
In his hand, he was holding a gift that he had bought with the scholarship that had just arrived.
"It's nothing, you'll get used to it. That's just how Miss Lu's body is."
The one who answered him was a nurse passing by.
"Where's Director Lu? Why didn't you notify him when the young lady went to the emergency room?"
Lu Jin pulled the nurse excitedly, and the nurse rolled her eyes unconsciously and twitched her arm impatiently.
"I'm on a business trip abroad! I'm so annoyed by your touching me. Be careful that my husband sees us!"
Lu Jin stood there in a daze, looked up at the three big scarlet words "Rescue in Progress", dragged his legs to the chair and sat down.
Habit?
How to get used to it?
He looked at the empty corridor and leaned back in his chair dejectedly. It turned out that this was the life the eldest lady led.
It was wrapped in gold and jade, but inside was a pool of mud, which was even worse than the sea of suffering that he had struggled to escape from.
Lu Jin prayed silently in his heart: Miss, you must hold on!
……
Lu Jin opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling. The deep-seated vigilance made him sit up suddenly. However, when he met the pair of abyss-like dark eyes not far away, he froze in place in an instant.
"Don't be so nervous. I asked the security guard to move you here. Ahem, you slumped on a chair outside the emergency room in the middle of the night and almost scared a nurse."
Seeing the girl with an IV on the back of her hand, Lu Jin realized belatedly that this was the eldest lady's room.
Um, Miss——
Lu Jin was so nervous that he fell off the accompanying bed. He ran inside with a grin and looked at Lu Ningshuang carefully.
"Miss, how are you? Aren't you..."
"Rescue, right?"
Lu Ningshuang tapped on the computer and said calmly, "You'll get used to it."
"How can I get used to this?!"
Lu Jin screamed, every rescue was a matter of life and death!
Lu Ningshuang squinted at him and said, "You are surprised by what you have seen. Don't you want to be a housekeeper? From today on, every time I perform a rescue operation, you will be watching from outside.
If you're worried about not being able to make it in time because you're out of town, that's okay, I have a private jet.
By the way, let’s see who dies first, me or my old man.”
Lu Jin: “Ah?”
