Chapter 160 Hello Uncle

When Qiao Yiran first learned about the ambiguous relationship between Liu Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei and it was discovered by Liu Miaomiao's mother, the advice she gave to Liu Miaomiao was: pretend to agree first, keep a distance from Lu Mingfei for a while, and then pretend to be sick.

What Qiao Yiran didn't expect was that Liu Miaomiao was actually sick.

It was only after Qiao Yiran arrived at Liu Miaomiao's house that he found out that Liu Miaomiao had already had a low-grade fever after returning from the music salon the night before.

The temperature dropped a bit last night, and Ji Ruyan thought her daughter caught a cold because she was wearing too thin clothes. For safety reasons, she wanted to drive Liu Miaomiao to the hospital for a check-up. But Liu Miaomiao just shook her head weakly and said she was fine.

Because the temperature was indeed not high, only 37.8 degrees Celsius, Ji Ruyan promised her daughter that she would wait until tomorrow morning to see the situation.

The next morning, the fever had indeed subsided. Liu Miaomiao, who had recovered her spirits, had a long phone call with Qiao Yiran, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and invited her to her home.

Because she and Liu Miaomiao hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it happened to be the National Day holiday, Qiao Yiran happily accepted her best friend's invitation.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Liu Miaomiao's house happily, she actually developed a low-grade fever again.

"I'm sorry, Yiran... You came all the way here, but I'm sick."

In the room, Liu Miaomiao curled up in the quilt, gently holding her best friend's hand, looking sick. Her little face, which was always rosy, was now as pale as paper.

Qiao Yiran quickly waved her hand: "It's okay, Miaomiao, your health is more important. It's better for you to get better soon."

At lunch, Ji Ruyan personally cooked some porridge for Liu Miaomiao, but Liu Miaomiao just took two bites and couldn't eat anymore.

Seeing that Liu Miaomiao's condition was getting worse, Ji Ruyan took Liu Miaomiao to a familiar private hospital. In the afternoon, she did almost all the tests that could be done. The fever was not caused by bacterial or viral infection, and even blood system diseases were ruled out.

After a multidisciplinary consultation in the hospital, the final conclusion was: chronic fatigue syndrome.

"Chronic fatigue syndrome?" Ji Ruyan frowned, "What disease is this?"

The doctor wiped his sweat nervously and explained with a wry smile:

"Chronic fatigue syndrome is called "Xulao" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a sub-health disease with an unknown cause, which is most common in people with excessive mental stress. It is usually caused by immune system problems or endocrine problems. The clinical manifestation is a persistent low-grade fever, occasionally accompanied by coughing.

We did a comprehensive checkup on your daughter, and she was healthy in all aspects, except for some problems with her endocrine hormone levels, so we diagnosed her with chronic fatigue syndrome. Considering that your daughter has just entered high school, and the academic pressure in high school is greater than that in junior high school, she is usually overworked, has too much psychological pressure, and has an irregular diet and lifestyle, which is indeed consistent with the cause of asthenia. "

Ji Ruyan knew that Liu Miaomiao would not have any problems with academic pressure. Her daughter's grades were always good, and because of her family's financial situation, she and her husband did not make any rigid requirements for her grades.

But if it's mental stress...

Ji Ruyan had some clues in her mind. This week, it was obvious that her daughter had been in a low-pressure state.

She is a child who cannot hide her emotions, and all her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are written on her face.

Could it be that Miaomiao got sick because of that guy named Lu Mingfei?
Ji Ruyan was a little stunned. What kind of magic did that boy named Lu Mingfei have that could make her daughter, whom she had raised with great effort for fifteen years, so obsessed with him?

Just by not letting them talk for a while, my daughter has become like this. If the two of them really get together and then break up because of something, what will happen?

After learning from Liu's father and mother that her best friend's illness might have been caused by mental stress, Qiao Yiran immediately had an idea.

Miaomiao lived such a carefree life, but suddenly she felt mentally stressed. That must be related to Lu Mingfei!
It’s all Lu Mingfei’s fault!

Qiao Yiran felt that since the cause of the disease was related to Lu Mingfei, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

In the original plan, Qiao Yiran wanted Liu Miaomiao to pretend to be sick for a week, and then let Lu Mingfei, the class monitor, visit Liu Miaomiao on behalf of the classmates.

But now is the seven-day National Day holiday. If I want Lu Mingfei to come to visit as the class monitor, I have to wait until he returns from the holiday.

But looking at Liu Miaomiao, whose eyebrows and eyes were drooping like a sick willow on the bed, Qiao Yiran couldn't bear to let her best friend suffer from illness for another day. After Liu's father hurriedly arrived and her mother temporarily changed shifts and went home, Qiao Yiran immediately called Lu Mingfei.

I called more than ten times and for an hour, but no one picked up the phone.

Coincidentally, Lu Mingfei was helping Chen Wenwen make a rehearsal schedule in the coffee shop at the time, so he turned his phone to silent mode and did not receive Qiao Yiran's call.

It was not until after dinner that he suddenly remembered that he had promised his uncle to go home today. He hurriedly took out his cell phone and saw the missed call from Qiao Yiran.

……

The taxi stopped in front of Edin Private Hospital.

Lu Mingfei paid the money and got off the car immediately before the driver gave him the change. He was so anxious that Xia Mi, who had been waiting at the door, took the change for him.

Qiao Yiran was wearing a light summer outfit and was pacing impatiently in front of the hospital entrance, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

As soon as she saw Lu Mingfei get out of the car, she immediately went to meet him.

"Finally you're here!" Qiao Yiran said hurriedly, then turned his head and saw Xia Mi following behind him.

"Who is this girl?" Qiao Yiran's pupils suddenly shrank and he immediately became alert.

How come Lu Mingfei has such a beautiful girl by his side? She is prettier than Miaomiao.

Could it be that this guy was two-timing and Miaomiao caught him in the act, which is why Miaomiao was so exhausted that she fell ill?
Qiao Yiran's eyebrows were raised, and within just a few seconds, a crazy brainstorm had already started in her mind.

However, when he saw the slightly immature face of this strange beautiful girl, Qiao Yiran suddenly felt relieved.

Since he is still a child, Miaomiao should be safe for the time being.

Wait, that's not right, what if Lu Mingfei likes this? She has heard that some perverted boys like this.

Seeing Qiao Yiran's face turn red, then white, and then blue, Lu Mingfei knew that she must be thinking about something nonsense again.

"This is me, my distant cousin Xia Mi! She is also from Shilan Middle School."

Lu Mingfei made up an identity for Xia Mi at random. Xia Mi also cooperated very well, nodded very quickly, and greeted Qiao Yiran with a smile: "Hello, sister, I am this guy's cousin."

"Oh, hello..." Qiao Yiran also greeted Xia Mi.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Lu Mingfei hurriedly got to the point. "Where is Liu Miaomiao now? What disease did she have? What's her current condition?"

"Liu Miaomiao is doing okay now. Her illness is not particularly serious, but her fever has not subsided and she has been sleeping all the time." Qiao Yiran said, waving his hand at Lu Mingfei, "Let's talk while we walk. I'll take you to Miaomiao's ward."

The biggest difference between private hospitals and public hospitals is that the inpatient department is not as noisy as in public hospitals. Here, each patient has a ward, and the space in the room is spacious.

On the way to the inpatient department, Lu Mingfei had heard from Qiao Yiran about Liu Miaomiao's current condition. There was nothing wrong with her body, except for the persistent low-grade fever.

But when Lu Mingfei asked Qiao Yiran if she knew what specific disease Liu Miaomiao had, she shook her head again.

Qiao Yiran pursed her lips, thinking that she couldn't tell you that Miaomiao was suffering from lovesickness.

She kept reminding her bestie to have some personality and not always follow Lu Mingfei's lead. If Lu Mingfei knew that Miaomiao was still in love with him, who knows how he would control her.

She was still brooding over Lu Mingfei's "cousin" who suddenly showed up.

First it was Su Xiaoqiang, and now here comes my cousin...

There was no one at the door of the ward. Qiao Yiran said that she came to pick her up while Liu Miaomiao's father was on the phone. Liu Miaomiao's father seemed to have skipped work to visit Liu Miaomiao. After arriving at the hospital, he kept calling from time to time.

The lights in Liu Miaomiao's room were off, and only a dim light was on in the corridor.

Through the glass window, Lu Mingfei could only vaguely see Liu Miaomiao's sleeping face. It turned out that the lively and cheerful Liu Miaomiao also had a peaceful face when she was asleep. Her bangs were neatly combed to both sides, and there was a heat dissipation patch on her forehead.

"Hey, I was awake for a while just now. Could it be that the medicine I took before took effect and I fell asleep again now?"

Qiao Yiran frowned slightly, "Originally, I saw Miaomiao was awake, so I wanted to find a time when Miaomiao's father was out to answer the phone, so I could ask you to go in and check on Miaomiao, but now Miaomiao has fallen asleep again."

Lu Mingfei turned his head and glanced at Xia Mi.

Xia Mi smiled and shook her head.

I don't know what Xia Mi's smile means. In front of Qiao Yiran, Lu Mingfei is not in a position to ask in detail.

However, looking at the relaxed and amused look in Xia Mi's eyes, it seemed that Liu Miaomiao's illness was not particularly serious.

"Then I'll wait here. Maybe she'll wake up soon." Lu Mingfei said. He was still a little worried about Liu Miaomiao's physical condition.

Qiao Yiran was a little hesitant. She had brought Lu Mingfei here, but she had taken a big risk. She had originally wanted to make a quick decision without being discovered.

If Miaomiao's parents knew that I brought Lu Mingfei here, I don't know how angry they would be with me.

"That's not a good idea. What if Miaomiao's father comes back and sees you?" Qiao Yiran said timidly, "How about we leave first? I'll find a free time tomorrow to call..."

Qiao Yi's voice gradually became quieter as she spoke the next few words, and the last few words were even inaudible. She only stammered in panic, swallowed her saliva, and then timidly shouted:
"Hello, uncle."

Lu Mingfei was stunned and turned around. Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Liu Miaomiao. He was standing not far from him, with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Lu Mingfei reacted very quickly and immediately bowed his head and greeted him, "Hello, uncle."

"Yeah." Liu Yue didn't say anything, just nodded and responded stiffly as if to get it over with.

He was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he looked quite tall. His height was probably around 180cm.

The first time he saw Lu Mingfei, he knew who this boy was.

Who else but that brat would be the first to know that his daughter was sick?

However, Liu Yue now has complicated feelings towards Lu Mingfei.

My daughter was sick last night. As a father, he should have stayed with her.

However, when he woke up in the morning, he saw that his daughter's fever had subsided, and there was indeed an important project at the company that needed to be coordinated that day, so he still went to the company.

To be honest, this project has been stuck for several months. Due to some details, the other company and our company have not been able to reach a consensus, so the project has been shelved until now.

Originally, Liu Yue thought that going to the discussion meeting today would be a waste of time. However, he did not expect that today's discussion meeting would go very smoothly, and the other party accepted all the harsh conditions that he rejected.

After aligning the granularity of the projects with the other company and signing the contract, Mr. Deng, the project manager of the other company, suddenly shook hands with him with a flattering look on his face.

"Congratulations, you've found a good son-in-law." Mr. Deng said with a smile.

Liu Yue was confused. Son-in-law? What son-in-law? He only had one daughter, who was not even an adult yet. How could there be such a rubbish son-in-law?
President Deng smiled flatteringly, "Are you still hiding it? My daughter and your daughter are classmates, and your daughter, Liu, is already engaged. This is no longer a secret in Shilan Middle School."

Liu Yue was stunned for a moment, feeling puzzled and furious at the same time. How could his innocent daughter, a white and green cabbage, be engaged to a wild boar?

He wanted to ask in detail what was going on, but President Deng continued to speak without asking, "I heard that your son-in-law has connections in the Black Prince Group. Can you introduce him to me? I just happened to have a project stuck."

Liu Yue finally couldn't stand it anymore, and suppressed his anger and asked: "Old Deng, who is my son-in-law you are talking about? How come I don't know him?"

President Deng was stunned. "Isn't that young man named Lu Mingfei the son-in-law of your Liu family? I heard from my daughter that your two families have been engaged for a long time. I was wondering why you, Mr. Liu, would marry your daughter off so quickly. It was only last night that I heard that your son-in-law has a relationship with the major shareholder of the Black Prince Group."

Mr. Deng did not attend the dinner party held by the Black Prince Group and Su's Energy yesterday, and did not know the details of the party. He only knew that the squad leader Lu Mingfei, who was engaged to Liu Miaomiao, as his daughter mentioned, shined at the dinner party. The beautiful shareholders of the Black Prince Group took turns to toast him.

Liu Yue cursed in his heart: Damn, where did this rumor come from?

But then he changed his mind and felt that something was wrong. He thought that rumors were never groundless. Could it be that his daughter really had a premature love affair with that boy named Lu Mingfei? That's why the rumor of the so-called engagement spread.

But what about the fact that Lu Mingfei has a friendship with the major shareholder of the Black Prince Group?

Liu Yue was upset all day with this rumor in his heart. Unexpectedly, he ran into the real culprit in the hospital.

Seeing this son-in-law who appeared out of nowhere in front of him, Liu Yue's face froze, and he didn't know what expression to use to face him.
