After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Lingbo stood in front of the sink, washing his hands while thinking.

Someone walked over, and he looked up and glanced at them. Their eyes met, and they realized they were both in the same boat.

"Thank you, Dr. Xie," Lu Lingbai quickly greeted.

Xie Qinglan nodded in acknowledgment, her attitude somewhat cold and distant.

Lu Lingbai had long noticed that Dr. Xie treated his sister differently from the others.

Fortunately, the difference wasn't too obvious, so he didn't feel any psychological letdown. After all, doctors are only responsible to their patients and have no obligation to their families.

But today's comparison is a bit too obvious.

He was just chatting and laughing with everyone a moment ago...

"Is there something you need?" Xie Qinglan had just finished washing her hands and was about to leave, but after thinking about it, she patiently asked.

He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated; in the past, he would have simply turned around and left.

Lu Lingbo: "Yes, yes, yes! Dr. Xie, I want to ask you, what kind of cancer can cause vomiting blood? Also, how should we screen for and prevent it?"

He dared not disregard his sister's feelings, after all, his own broken bone was a cautionary tale.

Besides, there's a ready example right here... His gaze fell on Xie Qinglan's bandaged hand.

Even though Xie Qinglan wasn't at work that day, fate still pushed her back to the hospital, where she was stabbed in the hand by the assailant.

"Spitting blood? Who vomited blood?" Xie Qinglan's expression became much more serious; this was no small matter.

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Lu Lingbai quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no one vomited blood."

She paused for a moment and then explained, "It's like this, I just feel that my older brother works too hard. He works year-round without a break and often stays up all night. Not only that, he also has to worry about things at home. My younger sister isn't in good health, so he has to worry about her food, clothing, shelter, mental health, and even her interpersonal relationships..."

The eldest child in a family is often the one who works harder, but their efforts go unnoticed.

Lu Lingbo only hoped that his elder brother could be more relaxed and happy, without having to bear such a heavy burden.

He had no problem with his older brother doting on his younger sister; what bothered him was that his sister took everything for granted.

The younger sister already receives enough pampering, why doesn't she show some concern for her older brother in return?

She knew perfectly well that her older brother was vomiting blood and had cancer, but she still watched coldly from the sidelines without saying a word of concern.

It's disheartening to even think about it.

Xie Qinglan frowned, her attitude turning cold. "You should ask your family doctor about this, or look into the oncology department."

Lu Lingbo was a little embarrassed, realizing he had been grasping at straws in his desperation. "I'm sorry, Dr. Xie..."

"And another thing," Xie Qinglan continued, "how many younger sisters does your Lu family have?"

"Huh?" Lu Lingbai was a little confused. What kind of question was this?

"Then it seems there's only one," Xie Qinglan said coolly. "So, where does a person's concern for his sister, who only comes back to stay for a few days after she wakes up from her vegetative state, manifest itself?"

"Did he ever help his sister turn over in bed? Did he ever massage her? Did he ever feed her? Did he ever stay with her overnight?"

"..." What's going on? This Dr. Xie has suddenly become so scary.

“My brother was really too busy with work at that time, and it was also A-Jian who reassured him that he could go abroad without worry…” Lu Lingbo explained in a low voice.

If it weren't for this, why would my elder brother be willing to leave?

Xie Qinglan's expression worsened. "Back then, she was so weak that she couldn't even sit up. Even I couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't faint again. Did he really put your brother at ease?"

Lu Lingbo was so frightened that he dared not speak at all.

"Don't worry about your sister anymore. As family members of the Lu family, you are completely unqualified in my eyes."

After saying that, Xie Qinglan left.

He went outside, took out his phone, and made a call. "I've done what you asked me to do."

"Thank you, I owe you a favor." Sheng Yunchao said solemnly on the other end of the phone.

"No need, I was going to do it anyway," Xie Qinglan said before hanging up the phone.

The elders in the family all think highly of this young man, praising him as steady, reliable, and cunning, and remarkably, he also has a good reputation.

They figured that since he trusted Sheng Yunchao, they might as well curry favor with him and the two might become friends.

However, Xie Qinglan did not want to take advantage of this.

He knew that wealthy families always valued profit and sometimes disregarded sentimentality. He had seen all sorts of coldness and indifference in the world around his sickbed, so he never felt resentful.

If you're pursuing profit, don't pretend to be loyal and righteous; that would be too hypocritical.

-

Sheng Yunchao looked at the phone that had been hung up, but didn't seem to care much.

He will definitely remember favors and won't disregard them just because the other party is indifferent.

He picked up his phone and sent a message: "[Senior, congratulations on your full recovery! How about we have dinner together tonight to celebrate?]"

There was no reply from the other end, of course. He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Today, after receiving the test results, she was probably busy sharing her joy with Lou Xiao.

Previously, the Lou family had some reservations about the engagement banquet, feeling that the engagement should not have taken place while Lu Sijian's condition was unclear, and that it could have been postponed.

It was Lou Xiao's insistence that led him to push things forward, and he also secretly gave him a hand, which barely managed to get the engagement banquet going.

Uncle Ling brought in tea. "Young Master, please have some tea."

He held the tray and said in a steady voice, "That's wonderful. Miss Lu is alright. All the opposition from the Lou family will surely be gone."

Sheng Yunchao lowered his eyes and drank his tea, ignoring him.

Uncle Ling: "Of course it doesn't matter, you would just splash it down with a wave."

Sheng Yunchao lowered his eyes and stared at the tea in his hand, a hint of warmth gradually appearing in his peach blossom eyes.

Uncle Ling: "Other people's fiancées are always more interesting to fight over, don't you think?"

Sheng Yunchao finally looked up and glanced at him. "Don't talk nonsense. I don't have any special fetishes. By the way, this green tea is good. I'll drink this from now on."

He recently changed his tastes and suddenly developed a liking for green tea.

Uncle Ling knew in his heart that it was probably related to that young lady from the Lu family again.

"Young Master Lu has notified them to check out of the hotel. They'll be heading back to the Lu family home tonight, right?" he couldn't help but remind them.

Seeing Sheng Yunchao's gaze gradually turn cold, he couldn't help but sigh.

The phone on the table suddenly rang; it was a message from Lu Sijian.

[Not today, I'm busy.]

Sheng Yunchao suddenly laughed, "So what? At worst, I'll just go to the Lu family right now, snatch her away, and hide her away."

The fact that they could see each other every day during this period made his greed grow wildly. Once he had every day, he wanted every moment. If this continued, he might not want to be apart for even a second.

No wonder she was so adamant about rejecting my advances before; after all, I really wasn't a good person.

Many people praise him for being humble and polite, unlike Lou Xiao who is unreasonable, but in reality, he is even more domineering and unreasonable than Lou Xiao.

Uncle Ling gasped, looking at the young master with a hint of madness. Sure enough, he still had some peculiar fetishes!

Ding-dong, another message came in.

I'll treat you to dinner another day.

"So, are we still going to rob it now?" Uncle Ling asked, scrutinizing his young master's expression.

Sheng Yunchao forced a smile and said, "What are you trying to steal? I'm just a CEO, not a domineering person."
