Chapter 81: Little Aunt?
Translator: Lordbluefire
The three of them walked to Father Lu’s ward.
On the way there, Chu Cichen asked, “How’s Mr. Yun?”
“His situation is very good,” Fang Panxia replied. She was clad in white. After coming back to the country, she had been working in this hospital. At this moment, her hands were in her pockets as she warmly spoke, “The special medicine has a great effect. It has been through animal testing overseas, and we also have chosen over ten humans for the clinical trial. I feel that it shouldn’t be a problem to extend Mr. Yun’s life for five years. Bro Chen, you don’t have to worry about this.”
Chu Cichen’s attitude was cold as he replied, “Hmm.”
After that, he glanced at Lu Cheng at the side. “Is your father doing good?”
Lu Cheng helplessly sighed. “Not too bad. He even gave me a call this morning, wanting to force me to get married. His voice was so loud that I felt like my ears were about to go deaf.”
Chu Cichen instructed, “It’s better to be more respectful to the elderly.”
“…I understand.”
As the three of them chatted, they soon arrived at the orthopedics department.
Yesterday, they left after the old man Shen Ruojing had saved was wheeled out of the operation theater. Hence, Chu Cichen didn’t know that the old man was there. Now after they arrived at the VIP ward, Lu Cheng called out. “Father, Bro Chen is here to see you!”
He pushed the door open as the sound of his voice rang out. However——
The room was completely empty.
Lu Cheng was stunned and hurriedly made a call. However, his father didn’t want to pick up, so he had no choice but to call the nurse, who did pick up his call. “Mr. Lu…”
“Where’s my father?”
“The old sir wants to go fishing so we are currently heading to the riverside…”
Lu Cheng grew angry. “His leg is still injured. What fishing? Bring him back immediately!”
Just as his voice faded, the nurse’s phone got snatched by Father Lu. “My leg is the one injured and not my hands, so why can’t I fish? Stop bothering me.”
Lu Cheng felt very helpless. “Father, the main thing is that you cannot get down from the wheelchair.”
“How would I not know about this? I am not suffering from dementia, so I naturally know this. Don’t worry, the nurse is accompanying me. It is all your fault. Why didn’t you give me a grandchild to accompany me? If I have to recuperate for one hundred days, doesn’t that mean I have to lie in the ward for a hundred days? Hmph! Unfilial child!”
He hung up directly after speaking.
Lu Cheng: “…”
He helplessly glanced at Chu Cichen. “Let’s meet him next time when there’s an opportunity.”
Chu Cichen nodded. He placed the fruit basket in his hands down and turned to leave.

Father Lu found the best fishing spot in Sea City. After they parked the car, he instructed the nurse and family maid to bring along the fishing equipment.
He then stopped at a particular spot.
As he stared at the currents flowing in the wide river, he suddenly felt his mood becoming more relaxed.
This was the best spot to fish. Hence, many elderly loved coming here for fishing.
Father Lu met a few of his good fishermen friends on the way here. After greeting them, he got the nurse to push him to a place nearer the river as he began fishing.
Just when he was fishing, he heard the people beside him chatting.
“…Really awesome. Don’t you guys know that she only used a short time to catch a few big fishes?!”
“Really? She is more impressive compared to Old Lu?”
“Much more! The main point is that she is still young, yet she has more patience than us…”
Father Lu immediately grew interested. “Who are you guys talking about?”
“Miss Shen!” The people beside him moved over and started chatting with him. “In the past, we heard that Miss Shen’s fishing skills were excellent but have never seen it before. Today, she actually came here. Didn’t you say before that you wanted to compete with her? Do you want to give it a try today?”
Father Lu immediately grew interested. “Sure!”
He had long since heard of this person called Miss Shen. This woman loved fishing as much as them and was extremely good at it. Father Lu always wanted to compete against such an expert, so he got the nurse to take him around to look for her.
From afar, he saw a large black umbrella blocking the sunlight.
A young woman around twenty-plus years old was clad in loose-fitting exercise attire, lazily lying beneath a chair underneath the huge umbrella. She was wearing shades, and one of her hands was casually on a fishing rod. Her legs were crossed and she looked extremely comfortable.
Father Lu was pushed over toward where the woman was.
All of a sudden, the woman moved. She sat up straight and directly hoisted the rod. Very soon, a fish of over ten kilograms were pulled out of the river,
Her casual hoisting movements made it seem as though the fish was weightless. She then tossed it into a fishing net at the side and straightened the fishing line before tossing the rod out again…
Her series of movements were extremely proficient. One could tell she was a veteran with just a glance.
Father Lu’s eyes brightened. “Benefactor, so it is you!”
His voice was so loud that Shen Ruojing’s hands trembled. She turned over and saw an old man with bright eyes in a wheelchair currently being pushed over by a nurse. This old man was extremely passionate.
“…” Shen Ruojing fell silent before asking, “You are?”
“I’m the person you saved at the hospital!” Father Lu gestured at his leg. “If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my leg!”
Only now did Shen Ruojing connect this old man with the disagreeable elderly at the hospital yesterday. She calmly spoke, “Oh, so it’s you?”
“Yup, yup. It’s me!” Father Lu directly stopped his wheelchair beside her. “I came here to fish. You also like fishing?”
“Hmm.”
“Benefactor. Hmm, are you married? I have a son…”
Shen Ruojing immediately interrupted him. “My children are already five years old.”
During these years when Shen Ruojing was slacking, she had made a few good friends among the elderly. The hobbies of these people were very diverse, but they all had a common unique point—they liked to matchmake her. All the elderly she knew would almost immediately ask her, “Are you attached?”
Shen Ruojing had long since grown immune to this, so her direct reply directly cut off the other words Father Lu wanted to say.
Father Lu: “…My son doesn’t have the fortune then. How about I accept you as my god-daughter?”
“Old Lu, don’t take advantage of Little Shen!”
His fishing friends at the side immediately interrupted. They treated Shen Ruojing as their little sister. If Old Lu accepted her as a god-daughter, wouldn’t their status be a generation lower than Old Lu’s?
Father Lu immediately understood. “In that case, I’m also your big bro in the future, and you are my little sister! You can look for me if you need any help. I’ll back you up!”
The other elderly: “Tsk, we were already her friends since long ago. If you want to back Little Shen up, go and join the queue~”
“I’m different. My son has some power in Sea City, and even if it is something he cannot help with, I can ask him to look for his big bro…”
As Father Lu said this, he directly took out his phone and called Lu Cheng. “I’ll get my son to come right now, so he can get acquainted with his little aunt. Can you guys do the same?”
The others: “…”
Father Lu called Lu Cheng and directly shouted, “Smelly brat, come to the riverside now to look for me! I’ll introduce my new god-sister to you. She is now your little aunt!”
Lu Cheng felt very helpless. “Okay, wait for me there. I’m heading over immediately.”
