The driver accidentally got his suit dirty while checking the car earlier. Now, seeing the members of the Lu family come out of the villa, he hastily took out a few gift boxes from the trunk.
These gift boxes were repeatedly reminded and instructed by the old master and his wife to be delivered personally to the Lu family.
Unfortunately, the boxes got crushed during the earlier collision with a truck, so their appearance wasn't very appealing.
"You must be Mr. Lu?" The driver politely handed the gift boxes to Lu Zhenhai, "These are some small tokens of our appreciation. Please accept them."
"How can we do that..." Lu Zhenhai hurriedly declined, "You're being too kind! These past few years, we..."
"No need for the gifts! Just hurry and take her back. Don't keep the family waiting!" Xu Aiqin directly interrupted their conversation, took back her gaze, and didn't even bother watching the spectacle. She went straight into the house.
These shabby gift boxes must not contain anything valuable. Their family doesn't need this kind of stuff!
Suppressing her sarcastic smile, Lu Muyao followed Xu Aiqin's footsteps, looking like a triumphant victor. She couldn't believe how inferior Qingyan's original family was, and it was truly satisfying!
Several nannies followed along with a mix of disdain, contempt, and pity.
Only Lu Zhenhai stood awkwardly in place. "You have a safe trip... You can consider these gifts as my token of appreciation to the elders of your family, too. It's also a little something for Qingyan."
"But this..." The driver couldn't be the one deciding this, these gifts were specially instructed by the old master and his wife to be given to the Lu family.
"Qingyan." Lu Zhenhai looked at Qingyan and said gently, "Be obedient and filial to your parents over there... Don't worry about us, and focus on them in the future, understand?"
The meaning of his words was clear. He wanted Qingyan to stop thinking about them and prioritize her new family.
"Mr. Lu, please accept these gifts as a token of our appreciation. Mr. Lu?" The driver wanted to say that the boxes contained thirty sets of villa and shop deeds and keys, a thirty billion bank card, as well as millennium ginseng, ganoderma, and other rare treasures that couldn't be bought in the market...
All these were small tokens of appreciation from the old master and his wife.
But looking at Lu Zhenhai's back as he went inside, the driver was filled with doubt. Did he feel like this family didn't like Miss Lu?
Was it just his imagination?
Qingyan effortlessly picked up the car door and put it back in place. The driver was amazed. Did Miss Liu really fix it by herself? Along the way, she casually looked out the window, her beautiful face pleasing to the eye. The driver occasionally glanced at her through the rearview mirror and saw a glimpse of Mrs. Liu in her younger years. Every move exuded sophistication.
"Are we going to Taoyuan County?" Suddenly, she spoke up, looking at the driver.
"Taoyuan County? That's where Old Master's family is from. Your home is in Jing City," the driver replied.
Jing City was a first-tier city with a highly developed economy. It was divided into four regions: east, west, south, and north. The most backward area was the north region, and the slowest-developing county in the north region was Right River County.
Right River County had four towns: Spring City, Summer City, Autumn City, and Winter City. Landlord Lu was the richest man in Winter City. He had struggled half his life and finally became the richest man in a small town on the edge of Jing City, which was the most backward, Right River County. His personal wealth had exceeded one billion RMB, which was why Xu Aiqin looked down on others.
After entering the house, Lu Muyao looked out the window unintentionally and couldn't believe what she saw. "Mom, their car..."
"What's wrong?" Xu Aiqin followed her gaze, unimpressed. "Muyao, let me tell you, from now on, you have nothing to do with Qingyan! Don't treat her as your sister anymore. Block all her contact information. Even if she finds you to borrow money through other means, you are not allowed to lend her any, understand?"
"No, Mom, how I saw it earlier, that car had our city's license plate number? It seemed like Jing A... or five consecutive sixes?"
Such a license plate number was an extraordinary existence in Jing City!
Because the car had parked sideways at their villa entrance earlier, Xu Aiqin only saw the side of the car and didn't see the license plate clearly. But when Lu Muyao mentioned it, she smiled, feeling that her daughter was too ignorant!
"Muyao, in our city, having a license plate number with five identical digits means you're at the top of the pyramid! That silly girl's family is in Taoyuan County. You must have seen it wrong!"
Even their own license plate number was not a good one...
How could Qingyan's family have such a beautiful license plate number?
"Unless her family lives in the Bi'an Lake Villa!" Xu Aiqin sneered.
Bi'an Lake Villa is the most famous, expensive, and best-located villa area for the wealthy in Jing City, located in the center of the city, the most valuable land!
In the Rolls-Royce, the driver respectfully spoke, "Miss Liu, your home, Bi'an Lake Villa, is still 20 kilometers away. If you are tired, you can take a rest."
Under her long eyelashes, Liu's morning dew-like eyes were clear as water. Her home is in Bi'an Lake Villa?
The most expensive villa area in Jing City?
"Can we go to Jingkang Hospital?"
Jingkang Hospital is a municipal hospital with the best medical resources and is not far from Bi'an Lake Villa.
"Miss Liu, are you feeling unwell?" The driver was suddenly nervous and said, "I'll speed up..."
"Before leaving, I want to visit Granny Lu in the Lu family."
Only Granny Lu was truly kind to her in the Lu family.
Since learning that she was not a blood relative of the Lu family, Granny Lu has been bedridden and hospitalized...
The driver did not expect her to be a filial child. While he agreed, his impression of her improved.
Ten minutes later.
The car stopped at the entrance of Jingkang Hospital. Liu got out of the car and said softly, "Uncle Liu, please wait for me somewhere."
"Okay."
In the 301 ward of the inpatient department of Jingkang Hospital, there was an elderly woman with gray hair lying on the bed.
Because of the torture of illness, her face was weak, her body thin and bony.
When Liu pushed the door in, she was still in a coma, her eyes closed and her face colorless.
The wrinkles on her forehead made her look a little more old.
Liu walked lightly to the bed, and the bitterness in her heart spread little by little.
When did the once spirited old lady become like this?
"Miss Liu." The young doctor who was doing rounds looked up at her and then lowered his head to write in the medical record book, "You came just in time, let's talk."
He put away his pen and raised his harmless face, staring straight at her with his charming eyes.
"As you know, now various treatments for heart disease are not effective for the old lady. Before, increasing the dosage could prolong her life for a few more days, but not anymore."
"You know better than anyone else that this is the end stage of heart failure, which means the heart has reached the end and cannot be reversed. Actually, it's a miracle that she has lived this long..."
