“What is this?”
“Supplements.”
“I can see that. But what exactly are you trying to do?”
Su Rongrong had only expected Lu Yiming to drop her off at the hospital, but to her surprise, he got out of the car with her—bold and shameless as ever. And if that wasn’t enough, he pulled out a whole bunch of supplements from the trunk. What was he trying to prove?
“This is Solar-God oral liquid. It’s good for regulating the nervous, immune, digestive, and circulatory systems.”
“And this is Red Peach K, rich in porphyrin iron to help treat iron-deficiency anemia.”
“Also, this American ginseng is pretty decent.”
Su Rongrong: Was I asking you for a rundown of the health benefits?
“Lu Yiming, I’m here to accompany my grandfather for his check-up.”
“I know. I’m here to visit a patient too. Since I was the one who brought him to the hospital, it makes sense for me to show some concern, don’t you think?”
“You—”
She almost burst into curses right there. Su Rongrong had to admit—Lu Yiming had mastered the art of getting under her skin.
“I’ll check on my patient, you look after your grandfather. We’ll mind our own business.”
Sounded perfectly logical—except the “patient” and “grandfather” were the same person!
“Lu Yiming, what exactly are you trying to do?”
“Bring a gift.”
Su Rongrong: (ˉ▽ˉ；)…
Her grandfather had been a government official before retiring. Although only at bureau level, he was a man of integrity and righteousness. In her eyes, there was no way he’d accept a gift from someone like Lu Yiming—especially given his ulterior motives.
Besides, she and Lu Yiming hadn’t even sorted out their own situation yet, and this shameless man was pushing the limits of her patience.
Truly, the more shameless someone is, the more invincible they become.
“Oh, by the way, I asked a friend yesterday to find a cardiovascular expert. I already got in touch, and he’s available. How about scheduling it for this afternoon?”
“Lu Yiming, I can handle my grandfather’s affairs myself.”
What a joke—calling in a specialist? Did he think the Su Family couldn’t get one themselves?
The Su Family was still an influential household. They had more than enough connections.
“This is Magic City. The Su Family doesn’t have much reach here, does it?”
“You…”
Once again, Lu Yiming hit the nail on the head. The Su Family’s roots weren’t in Magic City, so they did need help here. Of course, it would only cost them some time. The final outcome would still be the same.
Su Rongrong hadn’t expected Lu Yiming to think ahead of her this time.
“Alright, it’s almost time. Don’t make your grandfather wait.”
Lu Yiming carried the gifts and walked ahead.
Faced with such shamelessness, Su Rongrong really had no better response than stomping her foot in frustration.
“Lu Yiming, I’m warning you—don’t say anything inappropriate inside!”
At the door of the hospital room, Su Rongrong stood in front of him with a stern face.
It was her most serious warning. In their past life, Lu Yiming might have been intimidated by it. After all, he had wronged Su Rongrong first. Besides, at that time, the Lu Group was in no position to fight back against the Su Family’s revenge.
But now, things were completely different.
By pure coincidence, he had become her grandfather’s savior. That alone ensured Su Rongrong couldn’t really do anything to him.
“Relax, I get it.”
“You get what?”
Su Rongrong hadn’t even finished explaining, and yet Lu Yiming claimed he already understood?
Before she could react, Lu Yiming pushed the door open.
“Grandpa, I came to see you!”
Su Rongrong: (ˉ▽ˉ；)…
He said “Grandpa” so naturally, it once again redefined Su Rongrong’s understanding of shamelessness.
The room was in the VIP wing. For the Su Family, arranging such a room was easy. After all, her grandfather had been a bureau-level official before retirement.
But at this moment, the old man looked puzzled.
Grandpa?
Since when did he have a grandson he hadn’t seen in over 20 years?
Lu Yiming: Uh… would she believe me if I said I slipped up?
“And you are?”
The old man studied Lu Yiming suspiciously. The young man looked clean and well-mannered, but clearly confused—didn’t even recognize his own elders?
“Move aside,” Su Rongrong said through gritted teeth, ready to explode.
“Rongrong?”
“Grandpa.”
“And this is…?”
“A classmate. Not that close.”
That introduction was sharp.
Not that close, yet he came bearing gifts? Did she think her grandfather was senile?
Besides, the old man knew his granddaughter well—proud and stubborn. Ordinary men never caught her eye.
But this young man… seemed to be an exception.
Su Rongrong: (ˉ▽ˉ；)… Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
Where was he going with this? Like hell she liked Lu Yiming. She couldn’t wait to beat him up!
The problem was, none of her usual tactics worked on him.
Lu Yiming’s behavior earlier was like a piece of clingy gum—impossible to shake off. This kind of shameless man was truly the first she’d ever encountered.
Right now, Lu Yiming had on a respectful and polite expression, completely different from his usual arrogant demeanor. What a performance.
Su Rongrong mentally scoffed again.
“Sorry, that just slipped out.”
As long as he didn’t feel embarrassed, the awkwardness fell on everyone else.
Lu Yiming fully embraced that principle.
After putting down the gifts, he immediately showed concern for the old man’s health—his words warm and gentle. Even Su Rongrong, watching from the side, was stunned.
She was his real granddaughter, yet even she couldn’t match that level of attentiveness.
“Young man, take a seat and let’s talk.”
Her grandfather was no fool. One glance, and he saw through Lu Yiming’s intention—wasn’t it just to pursue his precious granddaughter?
Well then, let’s see what this kid is really made of.
“I heard from Rongrong that you’ve had some heart issues. Coincidentally, someone in my family knows an expert in that field.”
The old man raised a brow. Showing off his connections already? Wasn’t that a bit too eager?
Typical young person—too impatient, not steady enough.
He remained expressionless, but internally, he was already analyzing everything. Regardless of this kid’s background, this was the first time his precious granddaughter had ever brought someone of the opposite sex to see him. He had to vet him thoroughly.
Well, if Su Rongrong knew what her grandfather was thinking, she’d probably break down in disbelief.
She brought him?
She couldn’t even get rid of him!
“No rush. Young man, how old are you?”
“Same age as Rongrong—graduating this year.”
“Oh? Are you a local?”
“Yes.”
“Have you found a job yet?”
Oh, right. Her grandfather had retired from the Procuratorate. The way he asked questions made it feel like he was interrogating a criminal.
Meanwhile, Su Rongrong was completely dumbfounded.
Why was he asking all this?
Wasn’t he supposed to be helping her get rid of him?
