Chapter 2136: Covering the Sky with One Hand

“See her off, make sure she gets in the car.” Lu Zhenzhen said.

Gao Zhe glanced at her, nodded, and took his hand off Nan Jiaojiao. “Let’s go.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked back worriedly, Lu Zhenzhen wasn’t looking at her; she was staring solely at the coffee table in front of her, her gaze lowered, and the halo of light couldn’t dispel the shadow looming over her.

At the hospital entrance, Bo Yanching stood by the car with a cigarette in his hand. Seeing people come out, he extinguished it promptly.

Nan Jiaojiao rushed over, surprised, “How did you know I was here?”

“I called Mr. Gao.”

Nan Jiaojiao immediately felt for her phone, indeed finding two missed calls from him. Though her phone wasn’t on silent, she had apparently been busy with something and missed the ringtone.

“Sorry, I didn’t hear it.”

Bo Yanching tousled her hair and looked up at Gao Zhe, who was following them down the steps. “Mr. Gao.”

“Is it convenient to speak with you for a moment?”

Bo Yanching glanced at Nan Jiaojiao and nodded, “Convenient.”

He opened the car door, coaxing Nan Jiaojiao inside. He tapped the car door, and Han Chuan, sitting in front, heard it and rolled up the window.

Yet, the two men stepped aside a few paces.

Gao Zhe passed him a cigarette; Bo Yanching took it, pulled out a lighter, and first gestured to Gao Zhe. Gao Zhe waved, so he lit the cigarette with his own lighter.

“Jiaojiao was frightened; once you go back, pay a bit more attention to her mood.”

Bo Yanching said, “I will. Do you need help?”

“No need.”

Gao Zhe took a drag on his cigarette, white smoke spilled from his thin lips, blurring his expression and making it indistinct. “Mr. Bo doesn’t need to do anything, the Lu Family has me.”

Bo Yanching’s eyebrows twitched.

No wonder.

He could have just returned after dropping them at the hospital entrance, but he intentionally came over to say hello. Even though they meet often, they still weren’t close enough to speak privately behind Nan Jiaojiao’s back.

Gao Zhe knew how good Nan Jiaojiao’s relationship with Lu Zhenzhen was.

If Nan Jiaojiao asked, Bo Yanching would definitely investigate.

After all, having been healthy for decades, suddenly coughing up blood…

Gao Zhe saying he has the Lu Family was subtly telling Bo Yanching not to do anything or investigate.

Bo Yanching understood the unspoken words and didn’t clarify, merely saying, “Okay.”

Gao Zhe: “Thanks.”

Bo Yanching nodded slightly, gesturing with the cigarette in his hand, “Too bad for Mr. Gao’s smoke, Jiaojiao doesn’t like me smelling of cigarettes; I’ve only had a couple of puffs. When there’s time, let’s have a proper smoke together.”

Gao Zhe chuckled, who invites someone to smoke, “Same here, I must toss mine.”

The two men exchanged smiles and extinguished their cigarettes.

One headed toward the car, the other back into the hospital.

Before opening the car door, Bo Yanching glanced back at Gao Zhe, who had just slipped through the glass doors, his silhouette no longer visible.

The Lu Family…

It’s likely not going to be peaceful.

If Gao Zhe wished, he could sweep away everything; as for any secrets within the Lu Family, what he lets others know is only what he wants them to know, and as for anything else, no one else can reach in, nor would he allow it.

Bo Yanching opened the car door; Nan Jiaojiao was eating a small cake. The car was dark, and she had cream on her lips, bending over to look his way, with the light from outside illuminating her face.

Bo Yanching got inside, rolling down the window.

Nan Jiaojiao leaned in, raising her hand, and naturally, he took her, holding her on his lap.

She couldn’t steady herself and slid into his arms, smearing the cream on his shirt.
