Chapter 279 Quiet Departure
Chapter 279 Quiet Departure
After the two ended the call, Huang Yang scolded Cao Liyun: "She saved your father's life, and you're still doubting her. Aren't you repaying kindness with enmity?"
Seeing her husband's dissatisfaction, Cao Liyun asked, "Honey, what's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
“I just asked Song Jianguo. Lu Mingxuan is his son-in-law. I gave a gift of money to his daughter when she got married a while ago, but I didn’t go. His son-in-law is indeed an associate doctor at Jiangcheng Hospital, and his name is Lu Mingxuan.”
"Impossible! I was inquiring about the wife of the president of Jiangcheng Group, who is also Qiao Hongwei, the deputy director of the Economic and Trade Bureau. Doesn't she know whether her husband's hospital has this person or not?"
Cao Liyun looked at Huang Yang and argued with him logically.
"However, Chairman Song said that his son-in-law is the vice president of Jiangcheng Hospital."
Suddenly, Huang Yang remembered something and looked at his wife, asking, "Isn't Lu Xinjun the director of Jiangcheng Hospital? Lu Mingxuan also has the surname Lu, could it be..."
"Impossible. Qiao Hongwei is Lu Xinjun's wife. Doesn't she know whether her husband's hospital has this vice president?"
For a moment, the couple couldn't figure out whether Qiao Hongwei was lying or Song Jianguo was telling the truth. Both of them were well-known figures in Jiangcheng.
"Whether this person exists or not, I'm going to call my dad right now and tell him not to be fooled by people with ulterior motives."
When Huang Yang tried to stop her, Cao Liyun had already dialed Kang Jiansheng's number, leaving him with no choice but to look at her helplessly.
The Kang family in Zhenkang.
Kang Jiansheng had just lain down when his phone rang. He picked it up, saw it was his daughter calling, and quickly answered.
"Hey, Xiaoyun, is something wrong so late?"
“Dad! The Lu Mingxuan who saved you is a fake. He is not the director of Jiangcheng Hospital at all. I have already asked someone to find out.”
"Xiaoyun, what do you mean?"
“Dad, those two might be scammers. They're specifically targeting elderly people like you and Mom, trying to steal from our house. I'm reminding you, make sure you keep your property certificate and bank cards safe and don't expose them to outsiders. Also, if you don't call me at seven o'clock tomorrow morning to let me know you're safe, I'm calling the police!”
Cao Liyun's suspicions and her words on the phone angered Kang Jiansheng.
"Is it meaningful for you to keep harping on whether Dr. Lu is the hospital director? I don't know anything else, I only know that he saved my life, he's my savior!"
"dad……"
Beep beep, the phone has hung up.
After Kang Jiansheng ended the call, he was still angry about his daughter's call. At this moment, Cao Bingxin, who came out of the bathroom, asked, "Whose call was that? Are you still angry? Be careful of your heart!"
"Xiaoyun, I think she's just making trouble out of nothing. She insists that Dr. Lu and Miss Song are swindlers who came after our things, and she even said that if we don't call her at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, she'll call the police!"
Lu Mingxuan, who had just returned from getting water from the living room, overheard this scene as he walked to the master bedroom. He paused for a moment, then carried the water into the guest room.
"What's wrong? Are you still angry about Mayor Xie?"
Seeing the somber look on Lu Mingxuan's face, Song Qiao asked.
Lu Mingxuan adopted a more composed demeanor: "No, go to sleep. We'll set off before seven tomorrow morning. I'll take you somewhere to watch the sunrise."
"Before seven o'clock? That early?"
Song Qiao put down her phone, took the water glass Lu Mingxuan handed her, and asked...
"Yes, you can see the most beautiful sunrise there. If you go too late, you won't be able to see it."
Hearing this, Song Qiao nodded happily: "Okay, then let's leave quietly before Uncle Kang and Aunt Cao get up, so they won't have to busy themselves with breakfast."
"Okay! I'll just call them to say goodbye on the way."
Lu Mingxuan came here to check on Kang Jiansheng's heart condition. He didn't go to the hospital after getting off the plane, and that was part of the reason he stayed overnight. Now that he sees that she's alright, he's relieved.
The two lay on the newly made bedding by Cao Bingxin, smelling the sunshine and feeling the warmth and kindness of the couple. In any case, having had such a period in their lives and knowing such a couple was a gain.
Lu Mingxuan held Song Qiao and turned off the bedside lamp: "Go to sleep!"
The town was so quiet at night that you could hear the chirping of insects and the rustling of grass. The two embraced and closed their eyes.
The next morning, Cao Bingxin woke up first, opened her eyes and hurriedly sat up in bed: "I overslept, hurry up and make breakfast!"
She had already promised Song Qiao that she would accompany them to visit the scenic spots today. Having lived here for so many years, she knew best which places had the best scenery.
Cao Bingxin's voice woke Kang Jiansheng. He opened his eyes, picked up his phone to check the time, and then sat up to get dressed.
"I walked too much yesterday and actually fell asleep. Honey, get up and cook dinner. Young people get hungry easily."
Cao Bingxin glanced back at him and said, "You should sleep a little longer. You were feeling unwell yesterday, so you need to rest. I'll cook the meal."
Kang Jiansheng, wearing trousers, said, "I know my own health problems. Yesterday's problem was caused by the plane shaking, but I'm fine after taking some medicine."
After getting up, the two walked out of the master bedroom one after the other.
Kang Jiansheng first went to the living room to drink a glass of water, then returned to the kitchen to help Cao Bingxin cook.
They prepared several dishes for breakfast: millet porridge, scallion pancakes, soy milk, and steamed buns. The couple prepared them in the kitchen, making sure to close the door so as not to make any noise that might wake the newlyweds in the guest room.
"Honey, I'm watching the pot. Could you go outside and see if the two of them have gotten up yet?"
Kang Jiansheng, having heard no noise outside, grew suspicious and reminded Cao Bingxin to go out and check.
“These young people stay up late looking at their phones. It’s not too late to call them after the millet porridge is cooked.”
Kang Jiansheng sensed something was wrong. He checked his phone; it was almost eight o'clock. The two of them hadn't made a sound. He glanced at Cao Bingxin and went outside.
The guest room was quiet. Kang Jiansheng coughed and went to knock on the door: "Dr. Lu, Miss Qiao, get up and have breakfast!"
There was no response. Kang Jiansheng's heart clenched. His daughter's words from last night echoed in his ears. He pushed open the door and saw the neatly folded bedding on the bed. He hurriedly called for his wife.
"Bingxin, come and take a look."
Upon hearing Kang Jiansheng's call, Cao Bingxin quickly turned off the millet porridge on the stove and went outside.
"Hey old man, what are you doing in the guest room?"
The newlyweds hadn't even gotten out of bed yet; it wasn't right for him to barge in like that.
"They're gone!"
Before leaving, Lu Mingxuan left a note that read: "Uncle Kang, Aunt Cao, we're sorry to have bothered you. We're leaving now. Thank you for your warm hospitality and trust."
The note was written in vigorous handwriting, with "Lu Mingxuan" written below.
"They must have heard Xiaoyun's phone call last night and left!" Kang Jiansheng said dejectedly.
Cao Bingxin took the note and glanced at it, then looked at the neatly made bed and sighed, "It's all because of Xiaoyun, she doesn't know what's going on here and just talks nonsense."
Kang Jiansheng looked at Cao Bingxin: "It's also your fault. You came in and started discussing this with me again. Dr. Lu must have overheard it when he went to the living room to get water."
Kang Jiansheng glanced at the water glass on the bedside table and said.
"Don't just stand there, quickly call and ask where they are!"
Kang Jiansheng reminded Cao Bingxin, who hurriedly reached for her phone and dialed the number she had saved for Song Qiao the night before.
