Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit

"Cough, no…"

Lu Jing swallowed his saliva and involuntarily glanced at the person opposite him.

Old Five scratched his head and continued:

"I remember ever since you were little, you always walked around Lao Si, every time as soon as you saw him, even from a distance, you would hide away."

Hiss~

Is this a pig or what?

Lu Jing's face almost cracked open, back then he walked around because he was young, and as a model student excelling in character and learning, he really disliked some of the Crown Prince's behaviors.

Then later, when he was thirteen, the Lu Family faced a crisis, his uncle died unexpectedly, and during that time Lu Jing heard too many unpleasant remarks.

For instance: "The Lu Family has collapsed, they want to use the girl to exchange resources with the Jiang Family."

Or: "This Lu girl, young as she is, already knows how to flirt with the Young Master of Jiang Family."

There were many more even more unpleasant remarks and after that, Lu Jing truly kept his distance.

It wasn't until he entered university, started military training, and this man became his military training instructor, that they gradually got in touch.

At this moment, the silent man spoke up:

"Old Five, are you itching for a beating?"

One sentence made Old Five instantly lose color:

"No, no."

Old Five was most afraid of his fourth brother, not so much the other brothers.

After all, having been harshly disciplined from a young age, it had become a physiological reaction, and he immediately hid behind Lu Jing.

Then again he cheekily spoke up:

"Lao Si, you're so fierce, be careful your wife, Actress Gu Daping, runs off with someone else!"

Hiss!

Lu Jing instantly felt a lump in his throat and almost lost his balance.

Indeed, the news about the marriage alliance between the Jiang Family and the Gu Family had spread everywhere six years ago, and by now, they probably had married long ago?

The piercing gaze of the man shot straight towards Old Five, scaring Old Five into jumping back:

"Lao Si, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Lu Jing stood there stiff as a statue, his fingers tightly gripping the tablecloth beneath the table, his heart was anything but calm.

Thankfully, Zhou Er spoke up:

"Enough, Lao Si, don't scare Jing."

Jiang Ye, of course, knew the cunning Zhou Er and Pei San must have noticed something, so his words were not just superficial.

He narrowed his eyes slightly but said nothing more.

Lu Jing's grip on the tablecloth loosened slightly, and at this moment, Zhou Er asked:

"Jing, you've come back to the country after completing your PhD, right?"

"Yes."

"Are you planning to work abroad or stay here?"

At this question from Zhou Er, Jiang Ye, who was previously resting his legs in a relaxed posture, unconsciously let them down, no one saw his hands clenched into fists inside his pockets.

"I was originally an exchange student, so I definitely had to come back after graduation."

"So, you plan to stay in the country permanently?"

"Yes."

Zhou Er quickly glanced at Lao Si and continued to ask:

"Have you secured a job yet? I remember you studied medicine, and there are many hospitals in Jing City, which one are you planning to go to?"

Lu Jing hesitated:

"I will work in Nanxi City."

It's not that Jing City didn't offer Lu Jing positions, but in the end, he chose Nanxi City.

Firstly, because he had studied there in college.

Secondly, Lu Jing himself couldn't quite explain why, although Jing City offered larger development space and more advancement opportunities.

Hearing Nanxi City, Zhou Er and Pei San exchanged a knowing smile, trying hard not to look at Lao Si's reaction at the moment.

"Oh, Nanxi City, huh?"
