Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Huang Chengjing put a more dignified face on and thanked Lu Yuqing again. "Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter, Ms. Lu. If it weren't for you, I'm not sure what would have happened!"

"Save the honorifics, just call me Lu Yuqing." She was still not used to being addressed in such a formal way.

Huang Chengjing smiled and addressed her as she wished. "Seems like we are very much indebted to the family of Ms. Jiang here. She saved my father and now Lu Yuqing took care of my daughter. If you are free tonight, I want to treat you both to dinner as thanks!"

Naturally, Jiang Yao and Lu Yuqing declined. However, they relented after Huang Chengjing's insistence.

After setting the time and location for the dinner at night, Huang Chengjing lifted the gloomy Huang Chenchen up and left. Jiang Yao suddenly remembered to ask Lu Yuqing if she had found a place to stay for the night.

"I booked a hotel before I came. It's the most convenient option since I don't know how long I'll be here for," replied Lu Yuqing.

The Lu family was very well-off and the same went for Lu Yuqing. Jiang Yao was not surprised at all to find out that she was staying at the best hotel in Nanjiang City. Lu Yuqing knew how to pamper herself.

They sat down under the shade, a place to hide from the unforgiving summer weather of early November at Nanjiang City.

"Which reminds me, Huang Chenchen's father seems to treat you a little differently?" Lu Yuqing noticed the way Huang Chengjing talked to Jiang Yao.

From Huang Chenchen's clothing, Lu Yuqing guessed that her parents were affluent people. Her assumptions were affirmed after seeing the car Huang Chengjing was driving and the way he conducted himself.

She was a little surprised though. As Huang Chengjing seemed like a man with a well-accomplished career, why did he regard Jiang Yao with so much reverence?

"I was involved in an incident here at Nanjiang City a while back. Coincidentally, Xingzhi was here in town for some business and he, along with his buddies, settled it for me. I took over some of Shengqi Hospital's shares as reparations and became its largest shareholder." Jiang Yao knew better than to keep Lu Yuqing in the dark.

"I see." She knew her brother very well and the incident that Jiang Yao mentioned had most probably angered him to the point where he went all out for retribution.

However, Lu Yuqing was not nosy and did not further inquire about the details of how Jiang Yao got her shares.

The rest of the afternoon was spent strolling around the university campus. By dinner time, they were already on their way in a taxi to the restaurant.

Huang Chengjing was a true gentleman; he had been waiting at the location for a while.

"Sister Yaoyao! Sister Yuqing!"

Huang Chenchen had changed into a different outfit and called out when she saw them walking in, vigorously waving her little hands.
