Chapter 114: Chapter 111: I Have a Girlfriend Now
Early morning, eight o’clock.
In a cancer hospital in Shanghai.
Family members in the patient ward gradually started moving around the corridor, and some patients in hospital gowns were slowly moving with the accompaniment of their relatives.
At this moment, a tall man stopped at the nurse’s station in the corridor.
A nurse passing by saw such a man with a towering and sternly handsome stature standing there and immediately came over with a smile to ask proactively, “Sir, who are you looking for?”
Lu Xiao replied in a deep voice, “Lu Ganchen.”
As soon as this name was mentioned, the nurse’s eyes widened, “You’re looking for Lu up—”
She caught herself mid-sentence and hurriedly swallowed the rest of her words, not expecting this man’s identity to be so…
She quickly led Lu Xiao towards the destination.
Older people tend to wake up early, and as he appeared at the door, he saw a middle-aged man’s figure.
He was still wearing blue and white striped hospital pajamas, one hand behind his back, the other watering the kaffir lilies on the windowsill, looking spry and vigorous.
He exuded a strong vibe of a seasoned cadre.
Didn’t his mom say he was bedridden and couldn’t get up?
At that moment, a middle-aged woman came out of the restroom, holding a white towel in her hand, and on seeing her son suddenly appearing at the door, she was momentarily stunned.
This single word ‘mom’ simultaneously caused the man watering the flowers inside to pause his motion and then he turned to look over.
Lu Xiao’s mother was very beautiful and gentle, and now seeing her son, her face lit up with joy; she hurried over to him, carefully examining him, “Son, you’ve finally come back, let your mom have a good look at you.”
After hugging his mother, Lu Xiao turned to look at his father and called out a “Dad.”
The latter let out a cold snort through his breath, “You still know to come back! I was thinking you probably wouldn’t even if I were in a coffin!”
As soon as she heard this, Lu Xiao’s mother quickly turned around to scold him, “What nonsense are you talking about! It’s not easy for our son to come back; can’t you say something nicer?”
Lu Ganchen had an authoritative air, but after being told off by his wife, he managed to restrain himself from saying more and then turned to lie down on the hospital bed, looking like a severely ill patient.
“Quick, tell mom how you’ve been over there, are you tired, is it hard?” Lu Xiao’s mother eagerly asked.
Lu Ganchen, on the other hand, leaned against the head of the bed, a remote control in his hand, his eyes fixed on the television, but couldn’t help but to say, “Why bother asking him all that; you should ask if he’s brought a girlfriend back this time! He’s not getting any younger. Don’t tell me he still doesn’t have one!”
On hearing this, Lu Xiao’s mother glared back at him, “Lu, why are you always bringing up the wrong subject? How could our son find a woman in such a remote place!?”
Yet, the next second, the two of them heard their son’s deep voice:
“Dad, Mom, I have a girlfriend.”
At these words, Lu Ganchen and his wife were both stunned.
Lu Xiao’s mother was completely flabbergasted.
Her son actually had a girlfriend!?
She was so shocked she didn’t know how to react and blurted out excitedly upon recovering, “Really? Son, do you really ‘court,’ oh no, do you really have a girlfriend now?! You’re not lying to us, are you?!”
Lu Ganchen appeared to be watching television, but he couldn’t help but glance over repeatedly.
Lu Xiao slightly pursed his lips, and when he spoke again, his tone was serious, “It’s true, she’s here in Shanghai.”
