Chapter 148: 119 The Girl Who Deals with the Clown While Doting on Him (1 update)_1 Chapter 148: 119 The Girl Who Deals with the Clown While Doting on Him (1 update)_1 By the time Jiang Qimeng led the way, Jiang Yiyao’s hearing had already recovered.

She was indeed a bit bewildered just now, then exaggerated the truth on purpose, merely to scare them a bit. After all, it’s rare for everyone to gather together, so why not have a little fun?

Little did she know that Jiang Qimeng would make such a fuss to the extent of calling a doctor over.

Thanks to Jiang Shanshan, no one felt unfamiliar with Lu Han, whether they had met him before or not.

When Jiang Qimeng mentioned Doctor Lu had arrived to take a look at Yiyao, all the members of the Jiang family’s generation turned their gazes toward them.

Lu Han hadn’t expected to hold such a status in the eyes of the Jiang family members.

“I’m fine now, thank you, Doctor Lu, for making the trip.” Jiang Yiyao said with a smile, her tone still respectful and deferential, without making inappropriate jokes about Doctor Lu and Jiang Shanshan.

“Just now you said you couldn’t hear, and now you say it’s nothing. Aren’t you just playing with us? Not being able to hear can be a major or minor issue. Since Doctor Lu is here, let him take a look at you,” someone said.

Jiang Qimeng insisted on Jiang Yiyao cooperating and playing patient while staring at her continuously, making Yiyao instantly understand.

Lu Han stood beside, watching the sisterly act unfold.

“Alright, then I’ll trouble Doctor Lu,” Yiyao said.

“No trouble at all, it’s my duty,” Lu Han responded calmly, his demeanor stable, as though he was just treating an ordinary patient.

As Jiang Yiyao prepared herself, Lu Han took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and like a magic trick, pulled out a pair of disposable gloves, put them on, and tugged on Jiang Yiyao’s ear, shining the flashlight into it.

“The eardrum looks a bit red to the naked eye. Although your hearing seems unaffected for now, I would advise, as a friend, to get a detailed check-up at the hospital,” he described earnestly.

His tone wasn’t exaggerated, and his speed was even, making everyone present believe he was simply describing his examination results objectively.

When she thought of that momentary deafness earlier—though it lasted only about ten seconds, those seconds, when she could see people’s lips moving but couldn’t hear a single word, were indeed terrifying for her.

The ears were her own, and not being able to hear was a big deal. Jiang Yiyao started to panic, “Doctor Lu, no, my dear brother-in-law, you’re not lying to me, are you? Do I really need to go for a check-up? If so, I’ll register for your appointment, okay? Will you be working tomorrow?”

Lu Han: “…”

Brother-in-law?

If she hadn’t called him that, he might have seriously considered giving her a thorough check-up. But since she called him brother-in-law, Lu Han suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He coolly shook off Jiang Yiyao’s hand and threw the gloves into a nearby trash can. At the same time, he pulled out a small bottle of disinfectant from his coat pocket, sprayed his hands, and his clothes too.

The crowd: “…”

Lu Han sprayed firstly the spot where Jiang Yiyao had tugged at him.

The one with the darkest and most displeased expression, Jiang Yiyao: “…”

Was Doctor Lu implying she was dirty? Was he disinfecting his clothes just because she touched him?

Shanshan never mentioned that Lu Han was such a clean freak, did she? He may be handsome and charismatic, but who could stand such fussiness in everyday life?

“Who did Miss Jiang just call brother-in-law?” Lu Han asked coldly.

“Lu Han, Yiyao is young, still a high school student. When we all get together, we like to joke around. She was just joking with you; don’t take it to heart,” Jiang Shanshan said as she approached, her tone assuming the posture of Lu Han’s girlfriend.

“That kind of joke isn’t funny at all. Better not to make it again, as it can easily make someone… feel sick,” Lu Han said straightforwardly. He had been deeply disgusted by that call of ‘brother-in-law’ and didn’t hesitate to tell them directly.

Jiang Shanshan shivered slightly; had the sunlight been any stronger, she feared she might have fainted from Lu Han’s sharp remark of ‘feeling sick’.

The statement left Jiang Shanshan, who was infatuated with Lu Han, speechless, but Jiang Qimeng, who was close by, couldn’t stand to see Lu Han belittle their Jiang family like that.

Being admired by a girl from their Jiang family would be understandable if he were a wealthy second-generation. But Lu Han came from a simple background, raised in a single-parent home, unclear whether his father was alive or dead, ranking much lower than them in social status. What did he have to be so proud of?

Still find them disgusting?

Can he ever speak properly?

After Lu Han finished examining Jiang Yiyao and made his stance clear, he prepared to leave. However, Jiang Qimeng wouldn’t accept it and she stopped him.

“Lu Han, as a man, don’t you think it’s very disrespectful of you to speak like that?”

“…”

Respect?

Just as Lu Han was about to retort, Jiang Qimeng beat him to it, “Do you even know how Shanshan praises you every time we dine together? In our eyes, Lu Han is a ‘peerless gentleman like a jade person on the road’—a perfect man.”

“Yet just a moment ago, you completely destroyed the good impression Shanshan has painstakingly created for you in front of us, do you realize that?”

“Why do I need her to create a good impression for me? And why must I ensure that all of you have a good impression of me?” Lu Han couldn’t understand and sarcastically questioned in return.

The underlying message was, what did it matter to him if the Jiangs had a good or bad impression of him?

To say such a thing, isn’t it quite strange?

Jiang Qimeng: “…”

Jiang Qimeng, known for her eloquence, was also left speechless by Lu Han’s counter-question.

The most terrifying thing about a person is that they don’t care about anything anymore; whatever you say or do doesn’t affect them at all—it’s as insignificant as a passing breeze.

Jiang Shanshan didn’t expect Lu Han to dare to retort Jiang Qimeng like that, considering he should have known that Qimeng’s father is Jiang Tao.

Even if her uncle wasn’t currently the dean of Huanan Hospital, his relationship with the old Ke was mutually beneficial. Offending Jiang Qimeng like this, didn’t he fear that her uncle would use every means to avenge his daughter and make things difficult for him?

Even though Lu Han had previously rejected her confession, the person Jiang Shanshan was angry with wasn’t him, it was Tang Su.

If it hadn’t been for Tang Su’s sudden interference, cutting in between her and Lu Han, she believed that it would have been just a matter of time before she succeeded with Lu Han according to her original plan.

It was Tang Su’s abrupt intrusion that disrupted her pace, making her confession too hasty and without enough preparation, so it was normal that Lu Han couldn’t accept it right away.

“Lu Han, how can you speak to sister Qimeng like that? She’s the most precious daughter of my uncle, even my aunt isn’t allowed to speak harshly to her. Apologize to her quickly.”

Jiang Shanshan thought that urging Lu Han to apologize was for his own good, otherwise his work at the hospital might not go as smoothly as before.

Even if he performed well in the surgery for Old Wu today, and there wouldn’t be any changes during Old Wu’s hospital stay, but Old Wu was from Beijing, and he would eventually leave the hospital and return to Beijing, right?

Once Old Wu was discharged and back in Beijing, that’s when Lu Han’s dark times would begin.

She still liked him and didn’t want to see Lu Han ostracized in the hospital or her uncle arranging to have him sabotaged.

“Really? She’s your uncle’s most cherished daughter, but what’s that to me? Just because of that, should the whole world pamper her? Are the Jiangs living in an ivory tower?”

Jiang Family: “…”

The Jiang family took the hit collectively once more.

Lu Han, heedless of Jiang Shanshan’s counsel, instantaneously became the target of the Jiang family’s animosity.

“No way, Lu, who do you think you are? Just a poor doctor, what’s with the act? If it wasn’t for Shanshan liking you, do you think you’d deserve our respect?” Jiang family member number one was indignant.

Following closely, Jiang family member number two also stood up to echo, “Exactly, why don’t you go and find out about our Jiang family’s background, Lu? Do you believe that once you leave this rural resort today, we can have Dean Jiang make your life a living hell?”

No sooner had Jiang family member number two finished speaking than a small stone, seemingly flicked from nowhere, just so happened to fly right into his mouth.

By the time he realized what was in his mouth was a pebble, he spat it out furiously, “Dogshit, where did this little stone come from?”

The unruffled Lu Han stood there, as steadfast as Mount Tai, simply watching the Jiangs make fools of themselves before him.

He didn’t want to waste words on these clowns, but considering that the young girl hiding and peeking with her friend seemed to be enjoying the show quite a bit, he decided to stay a bit longer. Let her have her fill of the spectacle, and he would leave when she gets tired of it.
