"What is going on? How did you suddenly get married? Such a big matter, why didn't you discuss it with us first?" Fang Qingru was the first to recover, her hand trembling as she held the marriage certificate, evidently unable to accept the fact that Mi Jing suddenly had a flash marriage.
"Mom, don't panic, don't panic, let's hear Jingjing finish speaking first." Mi Wan gently patted Fang Qingru's back, softly comforting her.
"Yes! Honey, let Jingjing explain clearly first. The certificates have already been collected, being anxious won't help. Calm down, don't hurt your health from the anger." Mi Zhihong was much calmer than Fang Qingru, not only did he not blame Mi Jing, he even comforted Fang Qingru.
Under the persuasion of Mi Wan and Mi Zhihong, Fang Qingru's agitated emotions eased a little, her eyes glaring fiercely, directly shooting sharp looks at Mi Jing, "You have ten minutes to explain, if you don't explain clearly, you'll face the family law!"
The so-called family law was cleaning toilets. Only Mi Jing feared this punishment, and the establishment of this family law was initially to punish Mi Jing because she often caused trouble when she was little.
Under Fang Qingru's piercing gaze, Mi Jing immediately stood up straight, honestly confessing, "Firstly, the person I married is called Shen Lingxing, a very handsome man..."
"Don't say these useless things, directly explain the time, place, process of your acquaintance, his profession, character, family." Mi Jing hadn't finished two sentences before Mi Wan couldn't listen anymore. Her way of explaining couldn't fit in ten minutes, so Mi Wan rudely interrupted and reminded her.
"He's a regular customer at our store. Half a year ago, I noticed him for the first time. He's a good person, not only helpful but also very gentlemanly. He helped me twice, and today he treated me to lunch." Mi Jing tried to beautify Shen Lingxing as much as possible, but as she spoke, Fang Qingru's sharp gaze shot over again, forcing Mi Jing to highlight the key points, "He's Lulu's colleague, a doctor, overall good conditions..."
Under the intense staring from six eyes, Mi Jing felt guilty, leading her to hesitate speaking any half-fabricated, half-guessing words next.
"Keep talking!" Fang Qingru urged.
"Mom, he's coming to our home for dinner tonight, you can ask him then." Mi Jing said cheerfully, hoping to get by.
"When he comes tonight, I will naturally ask him. Now, I want to hear from you." Fang Qingru evidently intended to pursue the matter to the end.
"Mom, people see beauties differently. If you listen too much about him from me, you'll form a preconceived notion, and won't be able to objectively see who he really is tonight." After saying this, Mi Jing turned to Mi Zhihong, who hadn't spoken for a while, "Dad, I told him you are a master chef and that your culinary skills are superb, able to prepare a full course banquet, so tonight's dinner..."
"No problem, everything is on me. What does he like to eat?" As soon as cooking was mentioned, Mi Zhihong's enthusiasm soared.
Oh my! She accidentally dug a hole for herself to jump into. She only knew he liked Blue Mountain coffee, had no idea what he liked to eat.
"He's not picky about food. He always accommodates my taste when we eat together. Dad, why don't you wait, I'll make a call to ask him." After a moment of silence, Mi Jing found a reason with a straight face and steady breath.
"Okay, go ahead. When you find out, send me a message. Your mom and I will start buying groceries now."
With Mi Zhihong's permission, Mi Jing quickly slipped into the room, recalling that Shen Lingxing mentioned he was going to perform surgery, so she decided to text him instead of calling.
At this moment, Mi Jing was slowly drafting the message, while Fang Qingru in the living room was still simmering with anger.
"Look at this, all because of your indulgence! Today she dared to have a flash marriage, who knows if she'll dare to divorce tomorrow or the day after!" Fang Qingru pointed her anger towards Mi Zhihong, upsetly accusing him.
"Yes, it's all my fault! But daughters should be raised with indulgence! I trust Jingjing's judgment, so don't worry anymore." Mi Zhihong pulled Fang Qingru's hand and stood up, continuing, "Today is a great day, our daughter got her certificate! Let's go buy groceries and celebrate tonight."
"You are really carefree, what if she found someone like Han..."
"Don't say inauspicious things!" Mi Zhihong suddenly hardened his face, cutting off Fang Qingru's nagging, "We haven't even met him, can't jump to conclusions."
Finally, under Mi Zhihong's patient persuasion and enlightenment, Fang Qingru's anger dissipated, obediently following him out to buy groceries.
After completing a surgery that lasted more than two hours, Shen Lingxing's intensely concentrated spirit and focus immediately relaxed. With a soft "ding," the door of the operating room opened. As soon as he stepped out, the family members waiting outside swarmed in and surrounded him.
"Dean Shen, how's my father's condition?"
"Was the surgery successful?"
"Will there be any sequelae?"
"..."
A chorus of questions, the hospital's quiet corridor suddenly became bustling like a noisy market.
"The surgery was very successful, please rest assured." Shen Lingxing calmly removed his mask, revealing a remarkably handsome face, peacefully and gently informing everyone of the good news.
But this good news didn't bring joy to the family members; they froze for a moment before unfolding somewhat stiff smiles.
Shen Lingxing had no time to investigate the hidden agendas they inadvertently revealed. He calmly and steadily walked away from them.
"Tsk tsk, Fourth Bro, seems you've shattered the hopes of some unfilial sons again!" A tall man leaned against the railing of the outdoor corridor, he had been standing there for a while and coincidentally witnessed the scene outside the operating room. As Shen Lingxing approached, the man grinned and teased.
"Why are you here?" Shen Lingxing glanced at the man uninterestedly.
"Naturally, I have something to discuss with you." Who would willingly come to a hospital without reason! Chu Chen mentally added.
"I'm busy tonight." Shen Lingxing didn't bother asking what Chu Chen wanted, threw out a sentence, and proceeded to walk into the dean's office.
Can't you consider his feelings?
Chu Chen followed Shen Lingxing into the office with a face full of grievance, saying, "Fourth Bro, shouldn't you listen to me finish speaking?"
"Not necessary." Shen Lingxing gracefully removed his white coat, then slowly uttered three words.
"..." Chu Chen was speechless.
After a moment of silence, Chu Chen felt it was necessary to speak, "Fourth Bro, last time's matchmaking banquet was coerced by your grandmother, I was a victim too! But this time is different, the single party is personally organized by me..."
Knock knock...
Chu Chen's torrent of words was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. Jiang Jian entered carrying several large bags and boxes, seeing Chu Chen also there, respectfully greeted him, "Mr. Chu."
