230 230 Going out to eat
Although old master Lu had agreed to try traditional Chinese medicine therapy, he was still confused. Was it the hospital setting him up, or had someone really given him acupuncture without him knowing?
Who was the one who did acupuncture? Zhuang Liu was the one who sent the tonics. He said that he gave them out of concern for his elders. He didn’t mean anything else. Old master Lu just ate it after smelling it and didn’t think much about it. If Zhuang Liu was really the one who treated him, what was Zhuang Liu’s purpose?
Old master Lu could not comprehend what was going on. Comparing the Zhuang family to the Lu family was like comparing the moon to the stars. Even if the main Zhuang family was not here, there was no need to curry favor with him. The difference between the two families was huge.
Moreover, the other party was very smart. He seemed to know that Old master Lu didn’t believe in Chinese medicine, so he didn’t reveal any information during the treatment.
“Let’s check the surveillance cameras.” Lu Qing ordered the guard, “See who did it.”
Old master Lu also reacted quickly. “Yes, check the surveillance cameras!”
However, the results of the investigation were beyond their expectations. The footage on the surveillance camera in the past few days has gone missing, especially during the times when Zhuang Liu appeared. There were very few traces of him in the surveillance video, as if he had deliberately blocked them.
“How did this happen?” Old master Lu’s face was stern.
“Who touched the surveillance camera?”
“It should be the person who is treating you. The other party is very smart, ” They’ve thought it through. They know that there are guards guarding the place and nothing will happen and we won’t be checking the surveillance cameras either. That’s why they blocked it.
“It’s also because we think that the hospital is absolutely safe that we don’t have the habit of checking the surveillance cameras. That’s why we’re in a passive position now.”
“Find out who it was. We have to know who’s behind this!” Old master Lu ordered.
Just as Old master Lu and Lu Qing were struggling over who treated old master Lu, two of the ‘culprits’ involved were preparing to go to an extremely important dinner.
“Xiao Mo, what do you think of this?” Zhuang Liu was trying on a new suit. It was a black shirt, black pants, and a white shirt. It was something traditional.
Xiao Mo touched his chin and said, “It doesn’t look like you’re going for dinner. You look like you are about to have a meeting.”
Zhuang Liu threw the clothes aside, and the place was already filled with the clothes he had ruled out.
Two days ago, he had received a message from Tan Rou that she was ready to take him out for a meal. He had been so happy that he had laughed from time to time during work hours, but in his joy, he had been struggling with what to wear.
For this reason, he postponed a family gathering in the capital city and personally picked out clothes for himself. After two days of picking, he still did not choose a suitable set of clothes.
If he wore a sweater, he would look a little out of place and not in line with his identity. If he wore a suit, just like Xiao Mo had said, he would look like a businessman. He should wear a long trench coat. He was sitting in a wheelchair, so no trench coat would look good on him.
After so long, even the private tailor was defeated by him, and he still couldn’t find a decent piece of clothing.
“I believe that no matter what you wear, Miss Tan Rou won’t mind.” Xiao Mo spoke like an oblivious young man.
Zhuang Liu glared at him. “What’s the use of having you?”
Xiao Mo didn’t understand why he had said the wrong thing again. “Third master, please hurry up. It’s almost time for you to meet up with Miss Tan Rou.”
Zhuang Liu looked at the pile of clothes and finally chose a neatly ironed white shirt, just like what he usually wore.
However, Tan Rou had carefully matched her outfit. She wore a beige floral long-sleeved dress, five-centimeter high heels, and two white crystal bracelets. Her hair was slightly loose, and she had a plain floral headband as decoration. She looked simple, fresh, and natural.
Compared to her, Zhuang Liu felt that he was too rude. She had dressed up meticulously while he came to the appointment in a white shirt.
“Here, fruit tea.” Tan Rou handed the fruit tea that she had been carrying for a long time to Zhuang Liu. “I saw it on the way and thought you would like it, so I bought you a cup.”
Zhuang Liu did like it. He would like anything that Tan Rou would have given to him. After getting the fruit tea, he couldn’t wait to open it and drink it, but he was stopped by Tan Rou.
“You can’t drink it now.” Tan Rou pressed his hand down. “You won’t be able to enjoy dinner after this then.”
Zhuang Liu looked at their hands and felt full even though he had not eaten.
“So, where are we going to eat?” Zhuang Liu actually stuttered.
Tan Rou blinked. “Now, that’s a secret.”
Zhuang Liu was moved. “Okay, I’ll follow your lead.”
“Yes. You’re always the one making arrangements! Just follow mine today.” She pushed Zhuang Liu’s wheelchair from behind.
Xiao Mo, who was following behind, felt that he was a little redundant.
