157: Allergic Reaction

Allergic Reaction

0Lu Ning had always kept everything to herself, so he was afraid that Lu Ning would not say anything.1

She shook her head. "Daddy, I'm fine. Go see Jingzhi."

Lu Zhi nodded. "Don't be afraid, he's fine now. The doctor said that Jingzhi's condition is stable, and that he'll wake up when he gets better. He had an allergic reaction."

"An allergic reaction?!"

He nodded. "Maybe he ate something at his classmate's house."

"But isn't Jingzhi only allergic to mangoes?"

He nodded again. "We'll have to wait for the allergic source report."

Lu Ning nodded, and let Lu Zhi leave to see Lu Jingzhi.

Resting her arms on her legs, she peered down at the ground.

An allergic reaction…

The first person that came to her mind was Lù Yue'an.

However, she's lived with Lu Jingzhi for so many years—how could she not know that Lu Jingzhi is allergic to mangoes?

As she was about to get her phone to dial Old Zhu, a pair of slippers abruptly showed up before her eyes.

Lu Ning was surprised; she raised her gaze to find Huo Jinyan squatting in front of her.

He took the slippers and placed them on the ground. Then, he held Lu Ning's ankles and helped her remove her wet and dirty slippers, and slipped the new ones on.

Thereafter, he passed her a bag. "You're still wounded, and wet clothes are bad for your health. Go change."

Lu Ning looked up at him.

Huo Jinyan pointed to a room at the end of the corridor. "I've asked around, nobody's in that room. You can change there."

He pulled her up; Lu Ning simply gawked at him without moving.

Just as she was about to say something, someone called out to Lu Ning.

"Ning'ning, why are you drenched?"

Lu Ning and Huo Jinyan turned around at the same time.

"Uncle Jiang? You're here too?"

Jiang Yu walked closer and looked at Lu Ning. "I came with your parents. I just settled the hospitalization procedures, Jingzhi needs to be hospitalized for observation."

There were some bills in his hands.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Yu looked at her. "It's fine, don't worry about it. As for you, Uncle will get someone to find you a change of clothes." While he spoke, he was about to make a call.

Lu Ning hurriedly stopped him. "There's no need, Uncle Jiang. I have some clothes here."

She raised the bag in her hand, then turned around, walking towards the room Huo Jinyan had been pointing at.

Huo Jinyan turned around and watched her go in.

"President Huo?"

Jiang Yu turned around and was a little taken aback to see Huo Jinyan; he did not have time to take a good look at him just now.

Huo Jinyan turned towards him.

"Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yu looked at him; he had heard that Huo Jinyan vanished from the capital some time ago. So, it turns out he had come here.

Blinking, Jiang Yu pondered for a moment. "President Huo, you… know Ning'ning?"

Huo Jinyan nodded. "She's my…" He paused for a moment before continuing, "Friend."

Jiang Yu perked his eyebrows in surprise.

Huo Jinyan didn't have many friends, and he isn't someone who likes to make friends. How did Ning'ning befriend him?

However, Huo Jinyan had even said it himself. As unexpected as it is, it's very credible.

Jiang Yu looked at him. "President Huo, will you still be staying in A City for a while?"

Huo Jinyan nodded. "Yes."

"Then, how about I treat you to a meal when you're back in the capital?"

This meal would not be some simple meal.

Huo Jinyan understood this, and so did Jiang Yu.

Huo Jinyan looked at him with a cheerless gaze. The list in Jiang Yu's hand crumpled as he clenched his fist.

This Huo Jinyan… his gaze is really a little frightening. Even if I'm older than him and have seen a lot of things, this look of his is still unsettling.

Jiang Yu wanted to pass it as a joke, but Huo Jinyan replied, "Sure."

?!

He almost suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Huo Jinyan agreed?!
