Chapter 57 Only He Can Wait

I thought my son would be in trouble, but I didn't expect it to be difficult.

Mother Lu suddenly turned her sharp gaze to Father Lu who was curled up on the sofa, and Father Lu curled up into a smaller ball, just coughing.The coughing sound became more and more false, but still refused to stop.So Mother Lu knew that he was determined to get medical treatment.

Thinking that her son would have to spend extra money to hire a nurse, Mother Lu gritted her teeth and forced herself to volunteer and go to Shanghai with her.

Lu Mei only felt that she had done her filial piety by giving up the money, and she didn't notice the abnormality of other people in the house.Hearing that her mother said she wanted to accompany her to see a doctor, she diligently helped her pack her things.

After the last disguise was torn apart bloody, Lu Zhenzhong stood there stiffly.I didn't move for a long time.After a long time, he finally got over the choking breath, and the dead expression on his face began to revive.He murmured: "It was temporary, and there was a small accident by accident. It's not really borrowing money, it's just a little turnaround."

Father Lu stopped coughing.

Mother Lu gave him a distressed look.

Lu Mei knew that he was thin-skinned, so she didn't pick up this topic again.

Mother Lu cooked the last hot pot ingredients into noodles, and everyone ate it hastily. Lu Zhenzhong took his parents back to Shanghai by train.

After two hours, the three of them had arrived at Lu Zhenzhong's home in Anting Xinyuan.

Mother Lu has never lived in this house before or after the renovation.When buying this suite, Lu's father took her to see the house together for the sake of arrogance.

"It's convenient to go back and forth. Just drop us at the train station when you leave."

After Lu's mother entered the room, she relaxed and spoke.Strong accent.The words and characters used are all native languages.In the past, Sang Baiyue always said that she couldn't understand what Lu's mother was saying.After visiting the house, Lu's mother smiled and praised: "It's beautiful. Everywhere is beautiful."

There was work in her eyes, and soon she was busy doing laundry, mopping the floor, and cleaning the table.Lu Zhenzhong couldn't stop him, so he had to help put the vegetables brought by Yilin into the refrigerator.

Lu's father lay on the brown leather sofa crookedly, moaning and chirping as he watched the people in front of him busy.

Another day off.Under psychological pressure, Lu Zhenzhong filled out the leave form on OA.

The second time I went to the cancer hospital, I was relatively familiar with it, and the efficiency was much higher.At about ten o'clock in the morning, Lu's father was already lying on the hospital bed and started the injection.At around 10:40, it was lunch time at the hospital.Lu Zhenzhong took his mother to the cafeteria together.

According to the results of their discussion, Lu Zhenzhong went back to work in the company that afternoon and the next morning.The next afternoon, I came back to the hospital to help Father Lu go through the discharge procedures.

Mother Lu stayed in a small place for decades, and suddenly entered the labyrinth-like hospital. She gritted her teeth and didn't say the word "scared".

On Tuesday afternoon, after lunch, Lu Zhenzhong was about to go to the cancer hospital to pick up his father as planned, but was stumbled by the deputy team leader, Han Jicheng.Holding the tablet, Han Jicheng insisted on discussing the data with Lu Zhenzhong.

Seeing that the time passed from one o'clock in the afternoon to two o'clock in the afternoon, and the hospital billing window would be closed any later, Han Jicheng kept talking about the data on the ppt.

Lu Zhenzhong couldn't listen anymore, he put his hand on Han Jicheng's shoulder: "Old Han, I have to go out this afternoon to pick up my dad from the hospital."

Lao Han was stunned, and it took him a while to digest Lu Zhenzhong's words. He put away the tablet computer with a displeased face, but instead of leaving, he said displeasedly: "You lack professionalism."

"What?" It's not that Lu Zhenzhong didn't hear it, but he didn't react.

"You think you're the only one who has trouble at home? My wife is divorcing me. Dongzi's twin brother was just arrested on suspicion of murder. Old Zhao's mother began to be confused for a while, and cognitive impairment was diagnosed early. That's it. Ah Hui is young and carefree. Which middle-aged person doesn’t carry a heavy burden? Lu Zhenzhong! Do we ask for leave as often as you do? Should we continue to work like you?”

At first, Lao Han's tone was resentful, but later he was almost angry.The volume also changed from a soft voice at the beginning to a shout later.

Lu Zhenzhong looked at the roaring Han Jicheng in astonishment.

Colleagues looked sideways.

Bingbulin came back from a business trip in Germany and just walked into the office area with a suitcase.A "Lu Zhenzhong" nailed her in place.

Together with Bingbulin, there is also Boss Tang from the R&D center.

The atmosphere became stagnant in an instant.

A moment of sadness appeared on Lu Zhenzhong's face.The blows from colleagues are not comparable to the helpless parents waiting in the hospital.Lu Zhenzhong silently glanced at Han Jicheng, picked up the car keys without hesitation, and turned around.

Turning around, I saw Boss Tang's cautious eyes staring over.

Their eyes intertwined, there was Boss Tang's secret dissuasion, and there was also Lu Zhenzhong's obstinate stubbornness.

In the end, he left.

He can make Jing Li wait for him for a few hours, but he can't make his elderly parents wait for him for a few hours.

Bingbulin watched Lu Zhenzhong the whole time, but Lu Zhenzhong didn't give her an inch of gaze.Lu Zhenzhong passed by.Bingbulin lowered her eyes silently, covering her overly emotional eyes.

After Lu Zhenzhong left, Boss Tang and Bingbulin walked past the office area where Lu Zhenzhong's team was located, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Han Jicheng grabbed his hair regretfully.

"I'm sorry. That was not my intention. No, no, no, I said what I really think, but I shouldn't say it in this way at this time..."

Ah Hui clenched his fists tightly.Brother Zhong has already left, what kind of apology does Lao Han say!
The other colleagues quickly got busy on their own.The leaderless members of Lu Zhenzhong's team looked a bit sad.Probably Lao Han exposed the cruel life they wanted to cover up in public.

Lao Han gave Lu Zhenzhong [-] critical strike points, but he didn't hate Lao Han.Lao Han is a technical geek and notoriously lacking in emotional intelligence.He always asks for leave, which drags down the team. It is reasonable for colleagues to complain.

It's just that the team can still function without him, but it's impossible for the parents to move without him.

His elderly parents are waiting for him, and only he can wait.

He has no right to choose.

As Lu Zhenzhong drove the car, moisture gradually rose in his eyes.

While waiting for the traffic lights, he quickly wiped his eyes.

It is said that men do not flick their tears lightly.Just not to the heartbreak.

At this point, he went through the discharge procedures, and Papa Lu, who spent 3 yuan in two days, seemed much calmer.

Sitting in the car and isolating outsiders, Lu's father talked about the embarrassing things about Lu's mother in a sarcastic tone: "Your mother made me dinner at 4 pm yesterday. I had breakfast, lost my way, and was sent back by security. I went to the same cafeteria at 10:[-] noon to get me lunch, got lost again, and was sent back by security for the third time. Tsk.”

Mother Lu was used to being belittled, so she kept silent.Lu Zhenzhong didn't want to be a minion for the tiger, so he didn't make a sound.
