Qiu Ge greeted him, then explained, "Mr. Zhou, we’ll first handle your admission procedures and perform a simple physical examination."
"The detailed examinations will begin tomorrow, after you’ve had a good rest."
"Alright, we’ll follow your arrangements, Dr. Qiu," Zhou Yan agreed.
Qiu Ge beckoned with her hand, and the students and assistants behind her came forward. They escorted Zhou Yan and his two children into the Little Red House.
Qiu Ge then shifted her gaze to the other three people.
In the center was a handsome and distinguished man in his fifties with an imposing air.
Flanking him were also a young man and woman.
However, the young woman, despite her age, had a full head of silver-white hair, which made Qiu Ge do a double take.
"And you are...?"
The distinguished man replied in a deep voice, "Dr. Qiu, I’m a friend of Mr. Zhou’s. Now that he has arrived safely at the hospital and needs to rest and adjust to the time difference, I won’t disturb him any further."
He then turned and instructed the young man beside him.
"Lu Yao, you stay here, in case Mr. Zhou’s family or Mr. Vega need anything..."
This distinguished man was Lu Yao’s father, Lu Zhezhi, and also the chairman of Kaiyuan Biology.
The woman with the silver-white hair was his niece, Zeng Ni.
Lu Zhezhi gave Qiu Ge a nod, then got into the Rolls-Royce with his niece and slowly drove away from the Little Red House.
As soon as he was in the car, Lu Zhezhi’s expression grew even darker.
Zeng Ni secretly pouted. Then she said in a coquettish tone, "Uncle, don’t be angry. I didn’t realize you brought me here with the intention of setting up a blind date. You should have told me explicitly."
"If I had known, I wouldn’t have dyed my hair this color."
Lu Zhezhi shook his head and said helplessly, "Your mother has spoiled you rotten."
"But I’m not angry at you. I’m angry at Yan Feifan."
"He showed absolutely no respect."
Zeng Ni asked, puzzled, "Is it because he didn’t come to greet us personally? Didn’t that Dr. Qiu say he has a surgery scheduled tonight?"
Lu Zhezhi snorted coldly and said, "A ’scheduled’ surgery means it isn’t an emergency."
"I refuse to believe he couldn’t spare ten or twenty minutes."
"Lu Yao is his savior, for heaven’s sake, but he was extremely reluctant about scheduling Mr. Zhou’s surgery."
"This man may have medical skills, but he’s ungrateful and disloyal—a man utterly devoid of virtue."
"I just can’t understand how that young lady from the Yu Family could reject your cousin and fall for a scoundrel like him."
Zeng Ni giggled and said, "Uncle, what’s so hard to understand? If Su Ye likes even a man like Mr. Yan but can’t stand your cousin, it just proves one thing: your cousin is even worse..."
Noticing Lu Zhezhi’s face darken even more, Zeng Ni quickly changed the subject. "Uncle, right now, we’re the ones asking him for a favor."
"No matter how angry you are, you just have to endure it."
Lu Zhezhi said in a cold tone, "To dare disrespect our Lu Family like this, this Yan Feifan is the first."
"I don’t know if he’s young and reckless, ignorant and fearless, or so confident in his talent that he’s become an arrogant madman who looks down on the world."
"We’ll just have to wait and see..."
