1510: Opportunity

Opportunity

Mrs. Lu's smile grew wider. "Let's see who still dares to say anything bad about my daughter-in-law! Even our country has given her a medal. I think there are very few people in our country to have such an honor!"1

Every woman would want to feel proud of their family. When Mrs. Lu had just gotten married to Mr. Lu, the two of them had lived in poverty. Other people often look down upon them; their life was pretty difficult back then. 

At that moment, she could hold her head high. However, after Lu Xingzhi married Jiang Yao, those ignorant people said she was crazy. She even allowed her daughter-in-law to go to university when she should have let her stay at home to care for the two elders.

Even though Mrs. Lu did not agree with those people, she was still angry when she heard them badmouthed her daughter-in-law. She did not like what they said about Jiang Yao.

Since Jiang Yao had a Medal of Merit, she wanted to see who would dare say anything bad about her in the future!

Then, Mr. Lu gave Lu Xingzhi a look and asked him to go to the study room upstairs with him.

"Close the door."

Mr. Lu said after he entered the room. After Lu Xingzhi closed the door, he asked, "I didn't want to ask in front of your mother. Can you tell me what happened on National Day now? Yaoyao took care of you for more than a month. Are your injuries very serious?"

Before Lu Xingzhi could say anything, Mr. Lu said, "I am a man. I can handle it, so tell me the truth."

Lu Xingzhi was speechless. He nodded after a few seconds. "Yes, one of the bullets grazed my body. If the Divine Doctor did not perform a surgery to save my life, I probably wouldn't have survived."

Lu Xingzhi could not tell his family that Jiang Yao had performed the surgery on him. It was different for Jiang Yao. It would be better if he alone knew about it.

After all, it was too unbelievable—the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"The Divine Doctor?"

Mr. Lu was puzzled.

"The Divine Doctor has outstanding medical skills. No one knows her real name, so they call her the Divine Doctor. However, she is also Yaoyao's teacher. Yaoyao learned a lot from her and improved very quickly." Lu Xingzhi told his father about how Jiang Yao had studied under the Divine Doctor, and her medical skills would improve significantly in the future.

After all, Jiang Yao was preparing to graduate early. Her family would find out eventually.

"That's Yaoyao's chance. Let her learn well from her teacher." Mr. Lu did not say that he wanted to invite the Divine Doctor to their home for a meal. The doctor did not even reveal her name to outsiders. Mr. Lu thought she must be an expert with a strange personality.

"This incident can't happen again. You are a man, and you have your ambition. Your mother and I understand that and won't hinder you. However, you should understand that your mother and I worry about you every day while you are in the army. When you go out on missions, your mother is so worried that she can't sleep until she receives word that you have returned safely. You are a soldier, and you have served your country. As your family members, we are proud of you, but we worry about you too."

Mr. Lu let out a long sigh and patted Lu Xingzhi on the shoulder. "Your mother did not say anything when you joined the special forces, but she was actually very opposed to it. We wanted you to leave the army, but we knew that you would not have agreed to that. Your mother knows your temper, so she did not say anything about it. To others, you're a soldier and a guardian of our country, but to your mother and me, you're our son. It's that simple."
