Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 512

Chapter 512: We Meet Again
“It’s fine! I can purchase them at the stores in Jin City.” Jiang Yao shook her head. “If we need Colonel Lin to get what we want, I don’t know what kind of rumors will go around in the platoon.”

Those were common medical equipment easily found in the market. She used to be a doctor and knew where to find them.

After notifying Mrs. Lin of her plans, Jiang Yao went back home, got her car keys and went to town. It took her just a little while to buy everything she needed before returning to the platoon.

Without any delays on the road, it took her only a little over an hour to do her shopping. By the time she returned to the platoon, it was only noon.

Coincidentally, before entering the gates of the platoon, she saw a person in combat uniform with his back turned against her leaning onto a car seemingly in a conversation. Just from the silhouette itself, Jiang Yao knew that the person was Lu Xingzhi.

The sounds of the engine also attracted his attention as he looked back and immediately walked toward Jiang Yao.

“Who’s in the car?” Jiang Yao asked.

“The sickly Old Man Du,” Lu Xingzhi paused briefly and continued, “together with Du Chen and their chauffeur.”

“They’re here for Mrs. Zhou?” That was the first thing Jiang Yao thought of.

Lu Xingzhi nodded and motioned for her to enter.

Jiang Yao had him resume his conversation as she chose to wait for him in the car.

Old Man Du did not have any connections in the platoon and the Du family was an outsider here so their car could not enter the platoon compounds. As Lu Xingzhi did not permit entrance, they could only talk to him outside the gates.

Jiang Yao sat in the car and saw Lu Xingzhi approach them. The chauffeur stepped out from the car and immediately opened the trunk, retrieving two foldable wheelchairs from within. He then opened the doors of the passenger seat and carried Old Man Du onto one of the wheelchairs before repeating the process on another person sitting in the rear seat.

It was Du Chen.

Jiang Yao was surprised to see Du Chen; she expected to see, Du Shihua or Du Shixian, the sons accompany their father, but it was Du Chen instead.

Even though they were both in a wheelchair, Du Chen seemed to be in better spirits than his grandfather. Jiang Yao had heard from Luo Ruoran that Old Man Du was in the hospital for the past few days, admittedly he came over to discuss his daughter, Mrs. Zhou’s arrest even though he was still far from having recovered.

The chauffeur did not tend to Du Chen after placing him on the wheelchair. Instead, he approached Old Man Du and pushed him toward Lu Xingzhi. Du Chen glanced in Jiang Yao’s direction before wheeling himself over.

“Mrs. Lu, we meet again.” Du Chen greeted the woman in the car, just like that day at Zhou Weiqi’s former workplace.

They were some distance away, so Jiang Yao did not bother to listen to what Lu Xingzhi and Old Man Du were talking about. Yet, she was very aware of Lu Xingzhi’s expression, whose face was as aloof as someone listening to an unimportant announcement
