Chapter 22: She’s with someone else.

“Director, could you send someone else for the Fengcheng research trip this time?” Lu Ping’an came to the director’s office of the supply and marketing cooperative.

He made an excuse to refuse, “I have some urgent family matters recently, and I might not be able to go to Fengcheng!”

The whole supply and marketing cooperative knew his background and treated him with respect.

Even the director did.

They all indulged him.

Every time there was a business trip or research assignment, they would first ask for his opinion.

If he wanted to go, he would go.

If not, they would send someone else.

This time, he thought it would be the same.

However, the director’s attitude was beyond his expectations.

The director was very firm, “Ping’an, the newly opened supply and marketing cooperative in Fengcheng needs a young man like you who is knowledgeable, quick-witted, and experienced in management. You must go this time!”

The old commander had specifically instructed him to transfer Lu Ping’an to a more remote place to temper his character.

No matter what excuse Lu Ping’an used this time, he would not agree.

Lu Ping’an knew that no matter what he said, the director would not change his decision, so he turned and left.

He then took out a match, lit it, and the restroom was immediately filled with smoke.

Lu Ping’an closed his eyes and silently counted the time.

Five days.

Shen Hongxing hadn’t come to see him for five days.

In the past, she couldn’t hold back for half a day, but this time it had been so long.

He couldn’t believe that Shen Hongxing would really leave him?

She was just still angry about him forgetting their date that day.

He dared to bet that in at most two more days, she would definitely not be able to hold back and come to make amends.

Therefore, he couldn’t leave here under any circumstances. How could he miss the opportunity for Shen Hongxing to take the initiative to admit her mistake?

He had to find a way to get the director to send someone else to Fengcheng.

Old Wu, the cleaner, finished mopping the floor and went out, not forgetting to kindly remind him, “Chief Lu, the floor is quite wet after just being mopped. Watch your step, don’t fall!”

Just this one sentence gave Lu Ping’an an idea.

If he got injured, not only could he get the director to cancel his Fengcheng research trip, but if Shen Hongxing knew he was injured, she would definitely not be able to sit still and would immediately come to see him.

Yes!

That’s it.

Looking at the wet floor, he fell straight down.

With a “bang.”

Old Wu, who had just walked away, heard the sound and hurried back in, only to see him lying on the ground.

“Chief Lu, Chief Lu…”

Old Wu called him several times, but Lu Ping’an didn’t respond.

Scared, he quickly went out to call for help.

Soon, Lu Ping’an was sent to the nearest clinic.

The doctor had just finished a preliminary examination when Qin Xianglan, Lu Zhonghua, and Old Man Lu rushed over.

Seeing Lu Ping’an lying unconscious on the bed, Qin Xianglan rushed over and cried loudly, “Oh, my son, please don’t have anything wrong. Mom only has you, one child. If anything happens to you, how will your mother live?”

“This family member, the patient slipped in the restroom, and the preliminary examination suggests a head injury. You can’t shake him like that!” The doctor saw her shaking Lu Ping’an vigorously and quickly stepped in to stop her.

“What are you crying for!” Lu Zhonghua rebuked her angrily, and Qin Xianglan finally let go of Lu Ping’an.

Old Man Lu anxiously asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is he now?”

“Director Lu may have hit his head. To be safe, it’s best if the old commander arranges for him to have a brain CT scan at the military hospital!”

Lu Zhonghua was relatively calm, “Dad, the doctor is right. Ping’an hit his head; he should go to the military hospital for a thorough examination!”

Old Man Lu looked at Lu Ping’an, who was unconscious on the bed, and finally called the military hospital.

Lu Ping’an was transferred to the military hospital.

At lunchtime, Shen Jianguo went to the Grand Theatre to find Shen Jiaojiao, “Jiaojiao, Ping’an fell and has been transferred to the military hospital! Quickly, go ask your team leader for leave and go to the hospital to take care of him!”

Shen Jiaojiao’s first concern wasn’t Lu Ping’an’s condition.

Instead, she asked Shen Jianguo, “What about my sister? Does she know about Brother Ping’an’s injury?”

Ever since Old Man Lu found out that Shen Jiaojiao wasn’t the biological daughter of the Shen family, he had been extremely displeased with her.

He always said that with such biological parents, Shen Jiaojiao couldn’t possibly be a good person.

But her parents didn’t believe it.

Children are shaped by their parents’ upbringing.

They had always placed great emphasis on Shen Jiaojiao’s education since she was young. How could she be bad?

If anyone was bad, it was Shen Hongxing.

She had grown up around that gambler and Wang Meili, learning from their example. She would only bully their kind Jiaojiao.

When Shen Jiaojiao heard that Shen Hongxing didn’t know about this, she knew her chance had come.

She immediately went to find her team leader.

Lu Ping’an had just come out of the CT room when the doctor told him…

Old Man Lu said, “Old Commander, further examinations have been done. Ping’an only suffered a minor concussion. He can be discharged from the hospital after two days of observation!”

Hearing the doctor say this, everyone in the Lu family breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Shen Jiaojiao ran in from outside. She directly threw herself onto Lu Ping’an and cried, “Brother Ping’an, how are you? Do you know that when I heard you fell down the stairs, I was terrified, I was so afraid that I would never see you again!”

Tears fell one after another.

What genuine affection!

Shen Jianguo and his wife kept helping Shen Jiaojiao, “Yes, Ping’an, you don’t know how Jiaojiao ran all the way from the Grand Theatre. She ran and cried, saying that if anything happened to you, she wouldn’t live either!”

However, Lu Ping’an’s mind wasn’t on Shen Jiaojiao at all.

His eyes were fixed on the doorway.

Shen Jiaojiao had come, so Shen Hongxing should also know about his injury.

After a long time, no one came in.

He moved his lips and hoarsely asked Shen Jiaojiao, “Where is she? Why didn’t she come?”

Everyone knew who he meant by “she”!

A flash of anger crossed Shen Jiaojiao’s eyes. He had indeed started to care about Shen Hongxing.

She wouldn’t allow it.

Maintaining her usual kind appearance, Shen Jiaojiao wiped her tears and said, “Brother Ping’an, don’t blame my sister. She might have something very important to do!”

“What could be more important than our Ping’an!” Qin Xianglan angrily scolded, “Ping’an, in my opinion, that wild girl is involved with another man and wants to break off the engagement with you!”
