Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

The nurse said, “You arrived just in time; Miss Liang Lu just woke up. The doctor is examining her now, and she seems quite lucid. There don’t appear to be any major issues.”

Tan Rou nodded and said, “Thank you for taking care of her. We’ll be dependent on you for the next few days.”

The nurse smiled and said, “We’re paid to do this job; taking care of patients is what we should do.”

Tan Rou entered the ward where the doctor was testing Liang Lu’s eyes. Seeing her enter, the doctor said, “The patient doesn’t have major issues, but she has some minor concussions. She needs to stay in the hospital for three days of observation.”

Tan Rou said, “Thank you, Doctor. May I speak with her now?”

After checking Liang Lu’s eyes, the doctor said, “You may.”

Liang Lu opened her eyes to see Tan Rou and smiled, “Tan Rou, I didn’t expect you to be the first person I saw.”

Tan Rou smiled slightly and said, “Who did you think it would be? Boss Lu perhaps?”

Liang Lu shook her head slightly, “He had very important matters to attend to; I told him not to come.” She suddenly remembered something, “You didn’t tell him about my car accident, did you?”

Tan Rou deliberately said, “I told him right after your accident. It’s just a matter of whether he will come or not.”

Liang Lu frowned and then sighed, “There are important matters to handle over there; I really don’t want him to have to go back and forth. Moreover, Grandpa Lu is starting to think better of me. If I call Lu Qing over for such a trivial matter, Grandpa Lu would definitely be unhappy.”

However, Tan Rou said, “I don’t think Old Master Lu is a heartless man; he probably doesn’t want his grandson to become someone who only knows his business and not his family, right? If Old Master Lu learns about your injury, he should let Lu Qing come.”

Liang Lu felt a bit sad; the doctor had just told her that she had been unconscious for eight hours. If Lu Qing had known about it right away, he would definitely have rushed to the hospital by now, but he hadn’t come.

“The news to clarify your situation has already been released,” Tan Rou said, opening her phone. “Zhou Xing admitted that he had asked Liang Guo and Guo Xia to lie, and he orchestrated the car accident. The journalist who helped him fabricate the story has been caught, and they have incriminated Zhou Xing, who is certainly facing a prison sentence.”

“What about them?” Liang Lu asked.

Although she didn’t mention any names, Tan Rou knew exactly who she was referring to.

“Guo Xia and Liang Guo didn’t cause you any physical harm, and they are also quite old, so it’s difficult to convict them. However, their actions were quite malicious. The police feel that such behavior should not be condoned, hence they collaborated with the police from their hometown to issue a stern official notice criticizing this incident,” Tan Rou explained.

Liang Lu still felt somewhat unsatisfied, “They got off easy, with just an official notice to punish them.”

Tan Rou smiled, “There’s one more thing.”

“What?” Liang Lu asked.

Tan Rou said, “The police consider the child abandonment by Liang Guo and Guo Xia to be very serious, so they are undergoing re-educational criticism. They are currently detained at the police station and will probably be there for a month.”

Liang Lu was taken aback, “Really?”

Tan Rou cautioned her not to get too excited, “Although a month isn’t long, it’s enough for them to learn their lesson.”

Liang Lu laughed, “That’s good then.”

After a while, Tan Rou asked the nurse to go out and buy some food since Liang Lu had just woken up and the doctor had come for an examination before she could have dinner.

Tan Rou, concerned about Liang Lu’s situation, hadn’t had dinner either, so the two of them ate in the ward.

Just as they started eating, the door to the ward was opened. A young man rushed in, dusty and disheveled, and as soon as he entered, he said, “I’m sorry… I’m late!”

Liang Lu was slightly irritated, “Why have you just arrived?”

Tan Rou, however, was slightly surprised, “How did you know we were here? Did Zhuang Liu tell you?”

Lu Qing replied, “Yes, I saw the news and then I called Zhuang Liu.”

Tan Rou smiled and said, “Then you were quite fast; the news was only released two hours ago.”

Lu Qing was focused entirely on Liang Lu, not noticing what Tan Rou had said.
