Chapter 43 – Mr. Lu Yudong, Miss Jiang Ci
After handling the matter, Jiang Ci and the two others returned.
She was now afraid to interact with Lu Yudong, unsure of how much he could uncover about her secrets with just a few words.
When Lu Yudong got home, Aunt Fang mentioned the WeChat message his wife sent him today.
Lu Yudong checked the time the message was sent and said coldly, "Not slow to react, no wonder she's so straightforward."
Less than a week later, Lu Yudong's secretary personally delivered a donation certificate to Jiang Ci:
Mr. Lu Yudong, Ms. Jiang Ci:
The 200 computers you donated to Love Elementary School have been distributed to the students.
With sincere gratitude!
Looking at the certificate, Jiang Ci felt a mix of emotions. Initially, she wanted her name to be alongside Shao Zheng's, but now it was replaced with Lu Yudong's.
Just now, when Lu Yudong's secretary personally delivered the certificate, everyone was already curious. Now they all gathered around to see what it was.
When they saw "Mr. Lu Yudong, Ms. Jiang Ci," their expressions froze.
It seemed that Mr. Lu and Jiang Ci were not just rumors; they were getting along better and better.
Everyone, especially Xing Baohua, felt a chill in their hearts. Their previous attitude towards Jiang Ci had been somewhat extreme, and it was time to make amends.
The next day, Xing Baohua sent Jiang Ci the news that she had become the new "New East Star."
Jiang Ci knew this was Xing Baohua's way of currying favor with Lu Yudong, and she felt somewhat uninterested.
Xing Baohua also sent it to Lu Yudong to please him.
Lu Yudong did not respond.
That day, Jiang Ci received a call from Lu Yudong in the office.
"Hello, Mr. Lu." Since everyone in the office knew, Jiang Ci didn't hesitate and directly addressed him as "Mr. Lu."
Sure enough, everyone in the office perked up their ears.
"Grandpa fainted. I'm out of town for a meeting. Go home and check on Grandpa." Although the situation was urgent, Lu Yudong's voice remained calm and composed.
"What?" Jiang Ci was genuinely concerned about Grandpa. "I'll take leave right away."
After finishing the call with Lu Yudong, Jiang Ci went to Xing Baohua's office to request leave. Xing Baohua agreed without hesitation and reminded Jiang Ci to stay safe and return after handling the matter.
When Jiang Ci arrived at the Mid-Levels Villa, she saw Yin Xuemo attending to Grandpa by his bedside.
She was quite a frequent visitor to the house.
If it weren't for her deep affection for Grandpa, Jiang Ci wouldn't have wanted to go in.
She walked over to Yin Xuemo's side.
Yin Xuemo was using a damp towel to moisten Grandpa's lips, worried they might get dry.
"Why are you only getting here now?" Yin Xuemo said with a hint of reproach. "Luckily, Yudong's house has medical equipment. The doctor said Grandpa's blood sugar was low and has already given him glucose."
"This isn't acting. Your technique isn't professional; let me do it." Jiang Ci said calmly.
She could immediately tell that Yin Xuemo's method was just for show—perhaps it worked in acting, but real patient care wasn't like that.
"Oh? Really? I haven't taken care of patients much, no experience, so you do it." Yin Xuemo said with a sly smile, stepping aside to let Jiang Ci take over.
Jiang Ci carefully moistened Grandpa's lips. She had taken care of her father for a few days and her mother for six years. Embarrassingly, despite her young age, Jiang Ci was already an experienced "caregiver."
She could hear the subtle sarcasm in Yin Xuemo's seemingly flawless words.
Yin Xuemo, seeing Jiang Ci's technique, felt a bit embarrassed about her own earlier attempts.
"Indeed, Yudong didn't marry the wrong person. If he had married me, I wouldn't be able to do this," Yin Xuemo said with a smile. "If anything happened to Grandpa, I wouldn't be able to handle it, but you're different—you're practically a nurse."
Yin Xuemo's words were clear: Lu Yudong married Jiang Ci as a caregiver for Grandpa.
And it sounded like it wasn't that Lu Yudong didn't want to marry her; it was that she didn't want to marry him.
Whether intentionally or not, as Yin Xuemo spoke, she brushed her hair with her right hand.
A bright silver bracelet on her wrist was revealed to Jiang Ci.
And the two characters on it were clear to Jiang Ci: "Dong, Mo."
Jiang Ci understood why Yin Xuemo was flaunting it in front of her.
Coupled with Yin Xuemo's earlier words, Jiang Ci suspected that Lu Yudong might have told Yin Xuemo about their marriage agreement. Perhaps he planned to marry Yin Xuemo afterward, asking her to wait patiently as he would soon divorce.
