Chapter 859 Returning to the Sheng Family's Old Residence

In fact, Cheng Gang's claim that he was destined to survive was something he did by taking advantage of the situation, and he was quite clever in doing so.

Now that Yin He has saved him, he'll be completely devoted to Yin He from now on.

Cheng Gang will be promoted in the future, and his fate will be tied to the Yin family.

The kind of relationship where everyone prospers or suffers together.

Yin He learned the art of managing people from a young age; he's very clever.

Of course, Lu Xingye didn't intend to explain the details to Shen Lu.

It was already 7:30 p.m. when we arrived at the Sheng family's old residence.

The old man has a very regular schedule; he usually goes out for a walk around this time.

But today I'm still waiting for my granddaughter to come home for dinner, and I only ate some snacks to tide me over since I was hungry.

It's clear how much Grandpa Sheng cares about his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

Shen Lu didn't bring any local specialties with her on this trip, but the old man didn't care at all.

He glanced at his granddaughter and found that apart from being a little tanned, she was fine, which put him at ease.

"You silly girl, why didn't you tell us you were going abroad? We made your aunt and me think something had happened to you again."

Grandpa Sheng was genuinely worried because his daughter had left and never returned.

His daughter could disappear at any time. If another granddaughter were to become like that, would he even want to live?

Shen Lu knew the old man was worried, and she felt embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I really didn't think that much at the time."

"The mission was urgent. As soon as Director Li called, I packed my things and left. I even forgot to ask the school for leave."

Grandpa Sheng tapped Shen Lu's forehead with his finger and sighed helplessly, "You, I think your temper is exactly the same as your mother's."

Although he is young, he is truly capable of sacrificing his life for righteousness.

That girl sacrificed her family for the country, didn't she?

He only hoped to receive news of Mingzhu before he died.

Whether it's life or death, we need to know.

As for Shen Lu, Grandpa Sheng was particularly pleased when he heard that she didn't want to study math.

Studying medicine is great; even if you're busy with work, you can still see each other a few times a year.

As long as I don't go to those damn classified units, my granddaughter can still enjoy being with me.

But now, he is not sure.

My granddaughter is pursuing a different path, and she seems to be doing even better than in mathematics.

Even though she was only a freshman in college, she already had assignments coming her way.

Will she still be able to quietly be a doctor after that?

Grandpa Sheng was worried about his granddaughter's future.

Lu Xingye had already started serving food to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu has a habit when eating: she only takes food from the area next to her; if she can't reach it, she won't eat it.

That's because Lin Rou always taught her that way back in the Shen family.

It is said that one should know etiquette at the dining table and not just focus on eating. It's okay to eat a few less bites, but acting like you've never had good food before will make people look down on you.

He rambled on and on, wasn't he just trying to mistreat her?

Shen Lu was too lazy to argue with this woman, so she simply ate the food in front of her.

She wasn't particularly greedy; when Lin Rou wasn't around, she would buy whatever she wanted to eat herself, so there was no need to argue with her.

But in the Sheng family, the old man doted on his granddaughter, preparing a large table of delicious food so that she could try it all.

Shen Lu was too busy to care for herself, but the old man wanted to personally serve her food.

With Lu Xingye around, there's no need for the old man to intervene.

Lu Xingye took the serving chopsticks and put some food on Shen Lu's plate.

Give her a few extra bites of whatever she likes to eat.

Shen Lu hadn't eaten anything for a day and a night, but she drank two bowls of chicken soup, ate two bowls of rice, and also ate a lot of vegetables.

"I think I ate too much." Shen Lu patted her round belly.

I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, and I haven't been eating well either.

Although the food at Shen Siqi's hospital cafeteria was decent, it was only once or twice a day.

Later, in their haste to get on the road, what food could they possibly have along the way?

Furthermore, the ingredients used abroad are somewhat different from those used domestically.

If she were to follow local customs, she genuinely wouldn't be able to eat anything.

I shouldn't do as the locals do, especially since I didn't bring my own food.

"This is nothing, eat as much as you want."

Grandpa Sheng felt sorry for her; the little girl had lost weight these past few days.

Shen Lu gained a pound or two during the Chinese New Year.

But who can blame her for having suffered so many misfortunes lately?

I haven't been eating or sleeping well, and I've probably lost four or five pounds.

Not only did Grandpa Sheng notice that his granddaughter had lost weight, but Lu Xingye did too.

He frowned: "I've been making sure you eat well these past few days and make sure you regain the weight."

Grandpa Sheng originally had some reservations about Lu Xingye's relationship with a young woman.

But seeing how meticulously he took care of his granddaughter, that feeling disappeared.

Now I'm slowly accepting this grandson-in-law.

Anyway, the kid has already told everyone that Xiaolu is his fiancée, so even if the old man doesn't accept it, there's nothing he can do.

It seems like Xiao Lu really likes this guy, so now's not the time to break them up.

Grandpa Sheng would never admit that, apart from his own grandson, Lu Xingye was the young man he admired the most.

If this doesn't work, he doesn't know what else to choose.

Lu Xingye's aunt was also at the dinner table, and she was very pleased to see how well he was behaving.

"Hoshino must be very busy lately. I'm sorry to have troubled you with the deer's matter."

My aunt was being polite, but it was the truth.

Since they couldn't contact Shen Lu before, they could only contact Lu Xingye.

It's not that Lu Xingye's connections are stronger than the Sheng family's, but rather that Lu Xingye's mother's family has some influence.

He's been familiar with people in that circle since he was a child.

Therefore, it's more convenient to ask him.

As it turns out, asking Lu Xingye was indeed helpful.

Lu Xingye quickly found out where Shen Lu had gone.

He couldn't reveal too much, so all he told the Sheng family was that Shen Lu was going to work as an assistant to Director Li.

The patients this time were not in Beijing; they left in a hurry, which is why they didn't tell their families.

Whether the Sheng family believes it or not, this reason is sufficient.

Shen Lu knew she had worried her family, so she said a lot of things during the meal, making the old man and her aunt smile from ear to ear.

She went back to school the next day.

Shen Lu has fallen behind in many courses. Although she knows a lot of the knowledge points, systematic learning is still very necessary.

Fortunately, she has a good memory and can remember a book after reading it only once.

She can only guarantee a correct answer when the teacher calls on her to answer a question.

If she can't pass the teachers' spot checks, it will be difficult for her to ask for leave in the future.

Shen Lu's situation is special; she has already been formally approved by the dean of the academy.

She also has to undergo assessments from time to time; she can't be idle.

The counselor was worried about Shen Lu's health, seeing her working like a camel.

"Shen Lu, if you're too tired, don't take on so many side jobs outside."

"I know your abilities, but your health is just as important; you are still young."

"You don't know, we medical students have endless patients to treat once we start working. You don't have to worry about being idle in the future."

"Since we still have time, it's okay to play a little longer."
