The moment Lu Xingzhi read the notice in the newspaper; he left the house with Jiang Yao. They took a detour to Golden Harbor and gave Zhou Weiqi a ride to the Zhou family’s. They went there to retrieve his personal items. Just as Lu Xingzhi expected, Mr. Zhou allowed Zhou Weiqi to only take his own stuff away; everything given by the Zhou family, such as his car and all cash in his possession had to be returned to the Zhou family, nothing was to be taken away.
Zhou Weiqi had no reservations and did not even look back when he walked out of the Zhou family’s house.
The money was transfered into his bank account yesterday afternoon; while they were having dinner afterward, he gave Lu Xingzhi the biggest embrace, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
With his hands on the steering wheel, Lu Xingzhi stole a glance at Zhou Weiqi. “I’ve had people transfer the ownership of Golden Harbor over to you, it’s your house now.”
Zhou Weiqi was surprised; he instinctively turned his attention toward Jiang Yao.
“What?” Jiang Yao asked.
“I’m afraid Jiang Yao’s going to kill either Brother Lu or me.” Zhou Weiqi chuckled. “That’s an actual house!”
“So, did you decide to go with Liang Weiqi or Lu Weiqi?” Jiang Yao smiled.
“Nah, I’ll change it when I get married. I’ll take my wife’s name then.”
After dropping Zhou Weiqi off at Golden Harbor, Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao returned to Kin City. He was busy on the phone; in a discussion with Director Lee regarding this afternoon’s hospital visit.
Director Lee would not be present during the afternoon, so he had the Assistant Director handle the affair instead. Lu Xingzhi had a more formal-looking dress delivered by lunchtime for Jiang Yao to change into. She was dressed in black, with a hat and a face mask on, only her eyes were uncovered.
They arrived right on time and entered the empty office prepared by the Assistant Director. The Du family, including Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ning were already there waiting.
Once they were all in the office, the Assistant Director left.
“Master Lu!” Du Shihua greeted.
Mrs. Du allowed her gaze to wander onto the figure draped in black standing behind Lu Xingzhi.
“The Divine Doctor is a woman?” Mrs. Du was surprised. She had assumed that the Divine Doctor was a man in his fifties, just like the specialists in the hospital who were of an older age.
“Who says the Divine Doctor has to be a man?” Lu Xingzhi retorted coldly.
Jiang Yao looked at Du Chen, in a wheelchair, and caught a surprise look that flashed across his face. Yet, it felt a little different from Mrs. Du’s same surprised reaction.
“I want to see your previous medical records.” Jiang Yao lowered her voice and had the Medical System do a scan on Du Chen.
