The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

Watching Xia Qiuran's departing figure, Wei Dan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sinister malice flashed in his eyes.

But in just a moment, she immediately put on a gentle expression and turned to look at Lu Zhenghan.

"Zhenghan, you absolutely have to come! I'll have Qiaoling apologize to you."

"No need, Aunt Wei. The mental illness certificate can protect Yuan Qiaoling for a while, but it can't protect her forever. If she doesn't repent, she will cause trouble that you can't handle sooner or later."

"Take care of yourself."

Lu Zhenghan's jawline was taut, displaying a cold curve, and his expression remained unchanged. After speaking, he left without looking back.

"Xiao Dan, forget about dinner. Hurry up and pack your things, take Qiao Ling and leave here. Go back and find a stable man to marry, and then this matter will be over."

After saying this, Jin Yingyue walked to Wei Dan's side and left with Lu Chuan.

They didn't look at Yuan Qiaoling once throughout the entire process, clearly indicating that she had been rejected in their hearts and would never be qualified to be a daughter-in-law of the Lu family again.

Seeing the indifferent attitude of the group, Yuan Qiaoling was extremely anxious.

"Mom, what should I do now? I want to live a good life, I want to be a rich wife, I don't want to just marry anyone."

"Don't worry, with me here, Lu Zhenghan will have to marry you even if he doesn't want to."

Wei Dan stared at the direction the group had left, his eyes filled with undisguised malice.

...

After Lu Zhenghan took Xia Qiuran and her grandparents to a state-run restaurant for a meal, Xia Qiuran went back to the hospital first, while Lu Zhenghan took her grandparents back to the military base.

But as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the military base, he saw a crowd gathered there. Not knowing what had happened, Lu Zhenghan quickly went over.

Pushing through the crowd, I discovered that it was Yuan Qiaoling and her daughter kneeling there.

"What are you doing?" Lu Chuan and his wife asked, somewhat displeased, upon seeing this.

For many years since the country was liberated, the most important principle has been equality for all.

In an era that has long since broken with the old ways and embraced new customs, kneeling in the street is an outdated custom that is criticized. Now, two women kneeling like this in front of the military base are clearly trying to provoke Lu Zhenghan.

Wei Dan and her daughter, their cheeks already glistening and red from the sun, immediately answered in choked voices.

"Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, the fact that you refuse to eat our food means you're still angry with me. My mom and I couldn't think of a better way, so this is the only way we can apologize to you. We hope you'll be magnanimous and forgive us."

Yuan Qiaoling's shoulders trembled, and she rubbed her eyes until they were red, but not many tears fell.

With so many people watching, Jin Yingyue couldn't scold them at this moment, so she could only continue to speak patiently and kindly.

"We just didn't want to trouble you. Let's just let this matter go and not talk about it anymore. Zheng Han won't pursue it any further."

"Aunt Lu, but other people won't think that way. They'll definitely think the Lu family hates us. Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Even if we go back to Beijing, some people will try their best to suppress us in order to curry favor with the Lu family. We'll definitely have no good days ahead." Wei Dan continued, her voice trembling with tears, her hands nervously clutching her sleeves.

She looked even more pitiful and aggrieved than Yuan Qiaoling.

"No, if there really is such a person, just tell me and I'll explain it to you." Jin Yingyue frowned slightly.

Wei Dan and her son showed no intention of getting up.

"Aunt Lu, anyone who dares to curry favor with the Lu family is a shrewd person. How could they let me know what they were doing? We must have been retaliated against without our knowledge."

"How about this, we'll kneel here for three days, without eating, drinking, or sleeping. That way, from the outside, it will look like you've vented your anger, and they won't target us anymore."

Wei Dan even went so far as to demand that he kneel for three days.

Lu Chuan's eyes were filled with a deep, dark aura, and Jin Yingyue's expression also turned cold.

If Lu Zhenghan really kneels for three days, his future prospects will likely be jeopardized.

Making a defenseless woman kneel at the door to beg for forgiveness will be an indelible stain on her reputation, no matter where she goes.

Moreover, if something were to happen to the two of them in this heat, Lu Zhenghan would be in a very difficult position to explain himself.

Jin Yingyue turned her head and saw that Lu Chuan was about to get angry, so she quickly spoke first.

"Xiao Dan, have you and your son thought this through? If we go to eat this meal, we'll go our separate ways from now on. If you come looking for us again, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Although Wei Dan and her daughter's behavior was somewhat excessive, it's best to resolve this matter privately if possible. If Lu Chuan really loses his temper and kicks them out, or sends Yuan Qiaoling back to prison, there will inevitably be a lot of trouble waiting for them later.

Now, a meal can solve the problem and get rid of this family, so it might not be a bad idea to give in to them.

"Aunt Lu, we just want to apologize and we will definitely not cause any more trouble. We will return to Beijing after dinner. Qiaoling's resignation has already been processed," Wei Dan said sincerely.

"Okay, then go and get ready. Just let us know when you've booked the hotel."

"Remember what you said."

Jin Yingyue's face was tense, and her deep eyes were like bottomless pools, sending chills down one's spine. She left with a single sentence before entering the military base with Lu Chuan and Lu Zhenghan.

Wei Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief; no matter what, she had finally managed to get the three members of the Lu family to have dinner with her.

Once the person arrives, things will be much easier.

The hotel had already decided to choose the guesthouse where she was staying.

...

The following evening, after finishing her work for the day, Xia Qiuran returned to her workstation to organize the medical records from the past few days.

Zhong Wenmei walked over and couldn't help but tease, "You don't even go home to rest after work. With your dedication to your job, if the hospital still doesn't let you pass your internship in a month, I'll have to go and complain to the hospital director."

"I'm all alone, and I have nothing to do back home, so I might as well stay here and look at more medical records," Xia Qiuran replied casually.

"Why are you alone? You should be in the throes of new love right now, at the very moment when you and Commander Lu are most reluctant to part." Zhong Wenmei leaned closer to Xia Qiuran and smiled maliciously.

For some reason, Xia Qiuran thought of that kiss in the storeroom again, and her cheeks involuntarily turned red. "Sister Wenmei, don't talk nonsense. There's nothing between Commander Lu and me."

"Your face turned red without any warning. Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. I'm going home now."

Zhong Wenmei smiled, picked up her backpack, and walked out.

A moment later, Aunt Lü hurried over.

"Aunt Lü? What brings you here? Is there something wrong with the plaster?"

Xia Qiuran paused, her first thought immediately being about the plaster.

"The plaster is fine, it's selling very well. It's just that I saw something very strange, and I thought I'd come and tell you about it."

"What is it?"

Aunt Lü looked around, seemingly a little embarrassed, and then whispered in Xia Qiuran's ear.

Xia Qiuran's eyes grew increasingly tense as she listened, and her expression became more and more astonished.

"What, veterinary medicine?"
