The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant

Chapter 231 - Cash

Chapter 231: 231: Cash

Lu Jinian, who was seated in a wheelchair, suddenly became quiet.

There were tears rolling out of Master Lu’s eyes.

Lu Jinian hadn’t complained once back when the accident had happened. He didn’t blame him nor his incompetent son, but Master Lu was well aware of how disappointed his grandson had been during these last few years.

Now, there was a bright, shining chance placed right in front of him. Even if this was just a second-year college student who wasn’t a medical student, his grandson was willing to give her a chance.

How much disappointment and desperation did he have that Jinian was able to make such a major decision with such determination?

Hong Lu, who was standing next to them, smiled and said, “That’s right. You shouldn’t miss the opportunity here. It doesn’t matter what major Dr. J is studying now. She is still an expert that the Lawrence Institute has hired with a huge sum of money. Did you think that the professors back at the institute would have the analytical abilities that are worse than normal peasants who don’t know a single thing about medicine?

“Plus, there’s no point in us trying to fool you. We also want the 10% of shares from the Lu family, right?”

“Cash,” Jing Qian added.

Hong Lu, the Deputy Director of the Lawrence Institute, was just like an emotionless robot and subconsciously repeated after Jing Qian, “Oh, yes… We actually prefer cash.”

Jing Qian was not interested in the shares from the Lu family.

If they accepted their shares, they would still have to put in an effort to help them if their company faced bankruptcy. It would be better to just take the cash and leave.

Wouldn’t it be much better to use the cash for other investments, rather than leaving it in the Lu family?

Master Lu was getting confused with Jing Qian’s wild ways, his mind in a daze.

At this moment, Master Lu was still wondering if Lu Jinian had made the right decision and whether or not he should stop him.

However, Lu Jinian realized that Professor Hong Lu showed a great deal of trust and respect towards Jing Qian.

This was why he concluded that Dr. J was definitely not an ordinary person.

Lu Jinian gave a pleasant smile on his face and said, “Alright, cash then. We’ll leave it up to Professor J after this. As soon as my legs recover, I will convert 10% of the Lu family’s shares into cash and bring it to you. As for me personally, I’ll consider you a friend of mine.”

Jing Qian waved her arms and replied, “That won’t be necessary, as I don’t like making friends. We are just making a business deal here. The next time we meet, the price will be much more than this.”

As for friends, she was always taken advantage of. Kuan Yuchen, who was in the courtyard, was an extremely good example. She hadn’t done anything and managed to get a quarter of her fortune. Jing Qian’s heart ached every time she thought about it.

Lu Jinian, who had always been calm and composed, got so embarrassed by Jing Qian that his mouth couldn’t help but twitch in awkwardness.

He didn’t know how to continue with the conversation since it didn’t follow the norm.

If his answer was ‘of course,’ didn’t that make him look stupid? Who would agree to pay more the next time he needed treatment from a doctor? This trip had already cost him a fortune.

If he said, ‘You’re too cruel,’ would it offend the doctor?

In the end, Lu Jinan covered it up with an awkward smile and moved on from the conversation.

“I followed Professor Hong Lu’s instructions and haven’t eaten anything since this morning. I’m feeling a little hungry now. We wanted to ask Professor J, when would we be doing the surgery?”

Since they had decided to do it, Lu Jinian refused to back out from it.

“Uh… You haven’t eaten anything today?”

Jing Qian was shocked. It was already eight in the evening and she had even managed to have three ice cream sundaes before coming here for the surgery.

“Doesn’t the surgery require anesthesia? He shouldn’t be eating before the surgery, right?”

Master Lu couldn’t help but feel that Jing Qian was looking more and more suspicious.

At that moment, he really wanted to bring Lu Jinian out of this place.

“I’m not like the other doctors. You could still eat as per normal, even if you are having surgery.”

Master Lu and Lu Jinian were once again dumbfounded with what they heard.
