Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 596: That’s Your Own Sister
CHAPTER 596: CHAPTER 596: THAT’S YOUR OWN SISTER
About five minutes later, a charity rescue organization’s vehicle pulled up at the curb, and two workers clad in white coats stepped out.
After verifying her identity, the two workers helped the middle-aged woman up from the ground and then slowly walked her toward the car.
Midway through, the woman turned her head to look back, with a clear expression of gratitude in her eyes.
Lu Jing called out to her,
"Zhao Huilan, your fate is in your own hands!"
The rest of your life will depend on your own choices.
Others can’t help with this kind of thing.
Not sure if she took it to heart, but everyone had done their best, hadn’t they?
After the rescue organization’s vehicle drove away, the group finally headed home.
The Nurse Director and Dr. Jia lived in the same area, so they took two cabs.
Old Hu and Old Huo had their own cars and were busy with other things, naturally, they wouldn’t stay long.
It was getting late, and it was well past time for Jiang Yuan to finish class.
"Let’s go, home, otherwise Xiao Yuan might not be able to get into the house when she returns."
Jiang Ye snorted coldly,
"If she can’t get in, then she can’t get in. Who asked you to agree to let her stay at our place?"
Again with this?
Shouldn’t Lu Jing be the one with objections to this kind of thing?
But now it’s turned the other way round!
"Enough already, she’s your own sister!"
Really, sometimes I don’t know what to say.
If Jiang Ye were a woman, she’d probably be cursing already, but alas, being a man, what can he do besides sulk?
A little sister shouldn’t interfere with one’s own romance, no!
Clueless jerk!
It’s almost better not to have a sister at all.
At that moment, Jiang Yuan, who had just left school, sneezed mightily twice.
A classmate asked,
"Are you coming down with a cold? I have some cold medicine here, do you need it?"
Jiang Yuan shook her head repeatedly,
"No, no, I hate taking medicine."
A minor cold or something, I’ll tough it out; it can boost my immunity, too.
"Where are you heading now? Not going back to the dorm?"
"Ah, I’m staying at my sister-in-law’s place."
The classmate was quite surprised,
"Your sister-in-law is also in Nanxi City?"
"Yeah, my sister-in-law is a doctor at Nanxi University Affiliated Hospital. She’s really amazing."
"And your brother?"
When it came to her own brother, Jiang Yuan’s expression wasn’t so bright, and she didn’t brag as she responded,
"Humph, he’s a firefighter."
Once the classmate heard her brother was a firefighter, he seemed to lose interest and didn’t inquire further.
Jiang Yuan wasn’t dumb; she could clearly see what the classmate was thinking,
"I’m off, my sister-in-law is waiting for me to get home."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"See ya tomorrow."
With that, she walked away without looking back,
And naturally, she didn’t see the disdainful expression on that classmate’s face.
Even if she hadn’t seen it, it wouldn’t be hard to guess.
Classmates for so long, who wouldn’t understand each other a little bit?
Jiang Yuan was someone who played her cards close to her chest, never revealing her identity publicly, always secretly watching the joke, watching those people make fools of themselves.
This trait was very similar to her sister-in-law’s; no wonder the two got along so well.
....
When the taxi arrived at the fire station, Jiang Ye and the others had just returned.
Lu Jing hurried down from the car,
"Xiao Yuan?"
Jiang Yuan looked over,
"Eh, sister-in-law?"
After meeting up, the two clasped hands,
"Sister-in-law, you went out with my brother?"
Lu Jing nodded,
"Yeah, that’s right."
Jiang Yuan saw Lu Jing’s face was all smiles,
"Is everything settled?" she asked.
This afternoon, her sister-in-law had looked so serious. How had she become so relaxed?
