Chapter 585: I Feel Bad For Him
“Once I sell the stones, let’s go to the jewelry store and have some fun.” Jiang Yao was feeling generous. “I’ll buy you a custom-made diamond cat tag with your name on it!”
Moe wagged his tail even more vigorously after hearing what Jiang Yao had to say. Obviously, he was very pleased.
Huang Chengjing must be on his way to his company, anxious and excited to open the stones, Jiang Yao imagined. She thought he was a pretty awesome person since he trusted her and played along with her shenanigans. He had the guts to take risks and was okay with letting loose once in a while.
Even though the sum of money spent was no big deal for the Huang family, Jiang Yao saw Huang Chengjing as a person that she could develop a deep friendship with, just because he had faith in her.
Jiang Yao parked her car in the hospital’s parking lot. Moe was feeling lethargic and chose to nap in the car instead. On her way up, she dialed Lu Xingzhi’s cell phone.
It took a while for him to pick up the call. Instead of Lu Xingzhi’s voice, Jiang Yao heard a symphony of noises from the other end of the line. There were shouts, cries of children, and people screaming at the top of their lungs.
“Where are you?” Jiang Yao stopped in her tracks and asked.
“I’m on the train to Province C.” Lu Xingzhi stood upright, afraid that a passerby would accidentally knock his cell phone away from his grasp. “I will arrive at Ying County tomorrow early morning. Once I am over there, I’ll have to give up my phone, so you won’t be able to contact me. If you need anything, you can give Brother Liang or even Weiqi or Xuyao a call. As for people you need in the research lab and the pharmaceutical company, I had Brother Gu contact some people overseas. He will contact you right away once he has some updates.”
Jiang Yao answered in acknowledgment. She decided not to tell him the reason why she called.
She felt bad for Lu Xingzhi, her husband, for involving himself right away in the special forces unit selection process after his recovery from a serious injury. She had no idea how difficult it would be for him, so she did not want to burden him with more things.
Initially, she wanted to deliver the purchased raw stones to Jindo City and have an expert, probably through Lu Xingzhi’s connection, open them before selling them off there.
Perhaps another time, she thought. He had had enough on his plate for now.
“Did you bring the medicine I left at home? How about waterproof tools? It has been raining in Ying County for the past few days. I asked a friend from Ying County and she told me that it is currently the rainy season over there.”
“I know.” The superiors did inform them of the weather conditions in Ying County earlier on. Truthfully, it was welcomed by the superiors as the rain would increase the difficulty of the selection process.
Listening to Jiang Yao’s concerned nagging, the noise and chaos around Lu Xingzhi suddenly ceased to exist. He had her love, her affection, her care and that was all he needed.
One of them found a seat while the other stood at the hospital entrance as they kept talking over the phone until it was time to end the call, reminded by a loud blast of the train’s air horn.
“The signal will get interrupted after the train starts moving. Let’s end it here. I’ll give you a call if I have some time after I arrive at Ying County. If otherwise, don’t worry. I’ll call you after the selection process, we’ll see each other very soon!” Lu Xingzhi said hurriedly before ending the call.
