The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 688 - 171 Lu Yulin

For the entire week, Song Qiao flooded the hospital with visits, aside from her time spent at the company.

On Monday, Song Qiao did not go to the company to work; instead, she took a leave to visit her maternal grandfather in the hospital.

Lu Jingchen didn’t say much, but he did drive her to the hospital entrance, mentioning that he would come to visit her grandfather during his lunch break and then they could have lunch together.

Song Qiao didn’t refuse; their relationship seemed to be recovering over time, yet Song Qiao was very clear that there was still a barrier between them.

Because of Lu Jingchen, Elder Mu had been moved from a regular ward to a high-class one, and even hired a caregiver.

However, just as she reached the door of the ward, Song Qiao heard pleasurable laughter coming from inside, her curiosity piqued, she opened the door and saw Mu Shinian and a boy who appeared very unfamiliar sitting on the couch, laughing heartily over something; Elder Mu’s cheerful laughter could also be heard.

Nanny Zhang, just out from the washroom with washed fruit, saw Song Qiao at the door and immediately smiled, saying, "Miss, you’re here."

Nanny Zhang’s voice also alerted Mu Shinian and the boy inside the ward, who both looked towards Song Qiao at the door.

Upon seeing Song Qiao, Mu Shinian immediately stood up with a bright smile and said, "Sis, you’re here."

Song Qiao looked at the boy in the ward who was about the same age as Mu Shinian, his face somewhat familiar and even bearing a resemblance to Lu Jingchen, which captured her curiosity.

After hearing Mu Shinian’s words, Song Qiao came back to her senses and asked, "Shinian, why are you here? Don’t you have classes on Mondays?"

Mu Shinian took the fruit from Song Qiao’s hand and explained, "The school gave us a day off today; don’t you remember, sis? I told you about it yesterday."

Only then did Song Qiao recall the phone call from Mu Shinian the previous day; it had been in the evening, plus she was preoccupied with Lu Jingchen’s antics, naturally, she hadn’t remembered it well.

Now, hearing Mu Shinian’s words, Song Qiao felt somewhat ashamed.

Walking into the ward, Elder Mu, leaning back on the hospital bed, looked at Song Qiao and said, "Xiao Qiao, haven’t I told you? Work is important, I’m not in any serious condition, you don’t need to trouble yourself coming to the hospital to look after me."

Song Qiao walked in and, with a smile, responded to her grandfather, "Grandpa, are you getting tired of me?"

"How could I possibly get tired of you? You’re the one who ends up exhausted from all this running around."

Mu Shinian took two bunches of grapes from the fruit Song Qiao had brought and went to the washroom to wash them.

This was Lu Yulin’s first encounter with Song Qiao. Although he had often heard Mu Shinian mention his older cousin, he had only heard about her until now. But upon seeing Song Qiao’s appearance, the word ’beautiful’ immediately formed in his mind.

Song Qiao, hearing what her grandfather said, smiled and turned her gaze towards the boy who had stood up but didn’t seem to know where to put his hands and feet.

Lu Yulin, realizing Song Qiao’s gaze was on him, smiled awkwardly and quickly introduced himself, "Hello, Shinian’s cousin, my name is Lu Yulin."
