Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

The smell of disinfectant in the hospital made Lu Yang frown.

He didn't like the taste.

Walking down the corridor of the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department, I carefully scanned the area but didn't find the person I was looking for.

gone back?
should not.

Before getting out of the car, he had already instructed Xiao Jiu to look around the hospital parking lot to see if Secretary Xu's car was there. Once he found the license plate number, he was to call him immediately.

Just now, before he climbed up to the corridor of the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department, his phone rang, indicating that Xiao Jiu had found the girl's license plate in the hospital parking lot.

Since the car is here.

That person must still be alive.

Just then, a bald, middle-aged man in a white coat over a suit ran over, panting, and said enthusiastically to Lu Yang, "Chairman Lu, just let me know if you need anything. Come to my office for tea. I'll have someone pull up all the patient records for today for you to look through at your leisure."

As she spoke, she turned to a middle-aged nurse behind her and said, "Head Nurse Zou, go and retrieve all the patient files from your obstetrics and gynecology department for today and bring them to my office."

Nurse Zou didn't speak, but nodded slightly. Before leaving, she glanced at the young Lu Yang with a slightly curious look.

Lu Yang frowned.

He didn't say anything.

Although he was suspected by some of them of being spoiled brats who broke the rules.

But his eyes weren't wrong either; he's just not a second-generation heir, but a first-generation heir.

Lu Yang's eyes swept around the corridor of the obstetrics and gynecology department twice more, and then glanced at the offices of doctors in various departments.

They still haven't found the person they're looking for.

I felt a little disappointed.

He then turned to the middle-aged bald man beside him and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Vice Dean Zhou."

The balding man said happily, "No trouble at all, Mr. Lu, please. Officially, you are a major taxpayer in Pengcheng and are entitled to higher-than-average medical services. Personally, my son now idolizes you, Mr. Lu, and wants to learn from you for the rest of his life. Every time he comes home, he tells me, 'Dad, being able to join Mr. Lu's company and work alongside him is the happiest thing in my life.'"

You say I only have one son, as a father, how can I not share his glory?
So today, since we've run into each other, Mr. Lu, please don't stand on ceremony with me; I must let you be properly entertained.”

So there was this other layer of relationship.

No wonder, the vice president of a top-tier hospital in a prefecture-level city would fawn over a private entrepreneur like this.

The saying "Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them" is indeed a principle that holds true in any era.

Lu Yang said politely, "Xiao Zhou is a very good person. He graduated from a prestigious university and is already a middle manager in the company at a young age. With two more years of training, I think he can go down and take charge on his own. He will also have the opportunity to move up to the core management level in the future."

Society is a network of human relationships.

The other party gave me face.

Lu Yang couldn't refuse to give him face.

Moreover, having a father who is the vice president of a top-tier local hospital is a testament to the connections that this middle-level employee, Xiao Zhou, has.

It works well.

Sometimes it can be the deciding factor.

For example, right now, in less than 10 minutes, Lu Yang already had the information he wanted.

After flipping through two pages, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

But it was quickly pushed back down.

I resisted the urge to continue searching until I had read through all the patient files in the stack in my hand.

Get up.

Lu Yang handed the file back, "Thank you for your help, Head Nurse Zou, but the person I'm looking for isn't in here. I might have remembered it wrong."

Head Nurse Zou thought to herself, "What a joke."

But she wasn't a newcomer either.

To be able to work in a top-tier hospital for decades and rise to the position of head nurse in the obstetrics department, one's emotional intelligence and work ability are absolutely commendable.

So she just smiled slightly and nodded gently.

He then turned his head slightly and said to Vice President Zhou, his superior, "Well then, President, I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

Just a small favor.

Although, strictly speaking, the matter is somewhat irregular.

But she dared not overestimate her own merits, and in front of the vice president, even if someone owed her a favor, they would repay it to the vice president in the future.

If she continues to linger and refuse to leave, then she's being a bit unreasonable.

Vice Dean Zhou nodded easily and said with satisfaction, "Okay, you can go ahead and get back to work."

At this moment, Lu Yang took his leave, saying, "Since the person I'm looking for isn't inside, then Vice Dean Zhou, I won't bother you any longer. I have other matters to attend to at the company. I'll remember this favor for today."

Vice President Zhou's face was all smiles, almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum. He waved his hands repeatedly and said modestly, "No need, no need. This is no favor. I haven't been of any help. President Lu, you're too kind. Please take care."

This is also a remarkable person.

Knowing that the other party was making a big fuss and using his connections to search through the hospital's patient records, it was certainly not without reason.

But since President Lu said he couldn't find it, then he couldn't find it. He didn't correct him. Instead, he generously said that he couldn't help and refused to accept the favor.

"Old fox."

Lu Yang thought to himself, "It seems I can only put this favor on Xiao Zhou from the company. I hope this young man isn't all show and no substance, but has some real talent. If so, I wouldn't mind training him well and giving him a hand in the future, even if it means getting him into the company's core senior management."

After all, Lu Yang himself is short of talent. As long as they are talented, he is not afraid to take care of them too much. This will help to get closer to each other and ensure their loyalty when they become core executives in the company in the future.

As he walked out of the deputy mayor's office, Lu Yang called out to the woman walking ahead, "Nurse Zou, thank you for your help earlier. This is my personal business card. Give me a call if you need anything; I can help with anything."

While the woman was still in a daze, Lu Yang took out a business card with only his personal phone number on it and handed it to her.

The rest of the space is blank.

Taking the business card subconsciously, Nurse Zou came to her senses and thought to herself, "What's going on? This guy is so young, but he's so arrogant, acting like he's the king of the world. He doesn't even have his workplace on his business card, just a cheap phone number. What good is that?"

Until one day, she was surprised to find that the Lu Yang on the TV was the same person she had received on a personal business card. The two people's names matched, and their appearances were at least 80-90% similar. Moreover, the Lu Yang looked more mature and had a stronger aura than before. Only then did she realize what had happened.

It turns out the other party wasn't a second-generation rich kid, but a first-generation one, a true self-made man who built a top-tier wealthy family from scratch.

This kind of person, giving you a private business card with only their personal phone number, is something you can pass down through generations, absolutely... even decades later, when it's in the hands of your children and grandchildren, they might still be able to use it.

I wouldn't dare say it changed my destiny, but it was definitely a rare opportunity.

Lu Yang is in a good mood now. He can confirm that his little secretary—no, Xu Yatou—no, let's call her Sisi from now on, she's pregnant.

After all, they've been with me for so many years, wholeheartedly, and it hasn't been easy for them.

Now he finally understood why it was Du Nini, the girl next door, who delivered the documents to him this morning.

It seems that Sister Wei Shu already knows.

Damn, she noticed it before I did! She could spot it just by looking. It seems I haven't been caring enough for Sisi. No wonder she hid after confirming her pregnancy, afraid to see me or answer my calls—she's scared…”

Lu Yang had gone to great lengths, even risking gossip, to invite the vice president of this top-tier hospital, hoping to leverage the latter's connections. He was reviewing all the obstetrics and gynecology patient files today because he was worried that, if true, the girl was pregnant but afraid to keep the child, and had an abortion without his knowledge.

It's not impossible.

Because that girl loves me so much, after she got pregnant, she was worried that I wouldn't agree to her having the child, but she was also worried that if I agreed to let her have the child, it would mean that she would have to temporarily hand over her secretarial work, find a place where she didn't know anyone to have a stable pregnancy, carry the child for 10 months, give birth, and raise the child...

They may not be able to return to this position in the future.

She had given up the opportunity to become the president of Wanyan Electronics, a position that allowed her to be independent and capable, and had worked hard to secure this opportunity so that she could stay by her beloved's side. However, an unexpected pregnancy had to shatter all of these plans, forcing her to start all over again. Any woman would probably have to think long and hard before she dared to make a decision.

Lu Yang's second source of joy was that he found no record in the file of any subsequent appointments for induced labor or any prescriptions for abortion. It was a perfectly healthy early pregnancy record.

This put his mind at ease.

Walking down the corridor of the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department, Lu Yang suddenly seemed to be deep in thought and headed towards the women's restroom.

Pushing open the door, Lu Yang didn't dare to go any further. With his eyes closed, his ears twitched, and he could already hear a soft, familiar voice coming from the second cubicle, "Tell him. Don't tell him, tell him. Don't tell him, tell him, don't tell him... Hmm, I think I miscounted, let's start over... Ugh, so annoying, I still haven't figured out what to do!"

Even without seeing her, Lu Yang could imagine that the little girl was squatting down, pouting, debating whether or not to tell him about her pregnancy.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and the more anxious I became, the more depressed and upset I got.

Lu Yang laughed, knocked on the door, coughed twice, and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and come out yourself. Don't force me to come in. Your boss is particularly impatient today. If you make a fool of yourself, you'll be fully responsible."

A multi-billion dollar company CEO, possessed by a lecherous monster, broke into a hospital women's restroom in broad daylight and molested a patient. This would absolutely be an eye-opening news story!

"what!!!"

Xu Siqi was squatting on the toilet. She had no idea that she would hear her boss's voice in the women's restroom of a hospital.

At first, she thought she was hallucinating as she let out a scream, but after it happened repeatedly, she blushed and hurriedly pretended to press the flush button.

She opened the door, covered her face, and ran out.

As for why she didn't pull up her pants, that's obviously because she wasn't actually squatting on the toilet properly.

They can't even make the whole thing properly.

Just then, as she reached the doorway, she stumbled, probably because she had been squatting for too long and her legs were a little numb. Lu Yang pulled her back and then hugged her.

He flicked her forehead and said, "Be careful. You're pregnant and still so reckless. What if you lose our baby? Can you take responsibility?"

Xu Siqi was in pain.

Pretending to be angry, she pouted and said, "Ugh, you hurt me! It hurts so much! It hurts so much..."

Actually, Lu Yang played very lightly just now.

She was secretly delighted.

This time, the boss acted like a decent person and showed some responsibility. If he had dared to say he didn't want the child, she... "I...I...I...I'll die right here."

This was probably the most vicious countermeasure she could think of against Lu Yang.

Lu Yang felt sorry for her and quickly blew on her forehead. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. There's not even a red mark. Let's go home."

As they spoke, they naturally took each other's hands.

It's probably because of the habit of spending so much time together over the past three months.

I forgot this is Shenzhen.

Xu Siqi didn't forget. She looked around timidly, then forcefully pulled her small hand back from Lu Yang's big hand.

Seeing Lu Yang looking at her with some confusion, she quickly whispered, "You're not afraid? I'm the one who's afraid. Sister Mingyue is such a good person. I can't hurt her. Besides, we made a pact before. You were the one who asked me to. When we get back to Pengcheng, we have to be careful about how we behave... Let's go quickly while no one's around."

A moment of emotion doesn't mean anything; she has that much self-awareness.

If you think that because of a moment of emotion, and because of the little life in your belly, you can replace Sister Mingyue in this lousy boss's heart, and become the real Mrs. Lu instead of Sister Mingyue, then you're dreaming.

Moreover, the final result will definitely not be satisfactory, and may even make the person in front of her think that she is an ambitious and scheming woman, and completely hate her.

Seeing her cautious and careful demeanor, Lu Yang felt both heartache and relief, and finally accepted her choice.

"Well, I'll do as you say. But it's not a big deal if you walk in front, the secretary walks in front, and the boss walks behind. I'll keep an eye on you from behind..."

Xu Siqi hesitated for a moment, but still obediently said, "Then...then I'll go first."

Sure enough, I knew that lousy boss was just putting on an act.

snort!
Luckily, I'm quick-witted.

After she finished speaking, she thought to herself. (End of Chapter)
