In the afternoon, as Auntie Chai went to the bathroom, Lu Man took the opportunity to quietly tell Xia Qingwei, "Mom, Auntie Chai has been taking quite a lot of care of you and since she's getting discharged tomorrow, I want to give her something."
"Right," Xia Qingwei agreed with Lu Man, "We need to thank her."
However, what should be given to Auntie Chai as a token of gratitude was a difficult question on its own.
Already they owed Han Zhuoli money for her hospital bills and hence did not have much money to spend on a gift.
"But what should we give?" Xia Qingwei became anxious and panicked.
Giving it some thought, Lu Man said, "Why don't I make some pastry or something, it will be easier for her to take it back home too."
Even Xia Qingwei felt that Lu Man's idea was quite good.
Hence, once Lu Man returned home, after preparing dinner for Xia Qingwei she also made some Chinese desserts. She even made some more for Zhou Cheng and Xu Hui to try.
Unfortunately, Lu Man did not know that the food she had been preparing all along for them, was being snatched away by Han Zhuoli, not leaving even a single bit for them. Similarly, even the desserts prepared today would not be spared.
Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng who had followed Lu Man home today could only stare wide-eyed at how pretty the desserts that Lu Man made were. With just one look at them, he felt hungry and quickly swallowed his saliva so that he would not be caught drooling at the sight of the desserts. Sadly, although these desserts were made especially for them, Zhou Cheng could only look at them but not taste making him feel very stifled.

Usually, Lu Man would spend the night at the hospital to accompany Xia Qingwei.
Thus, the next morning, she woke up earlier than usual, and immediately went back home to take out the pastries, she had made last night, from the fridge.
Upon returning, she just happened to hear laughter from the hospital room.
"Older Sister Chai, your son has is such a fine-looking man," Xia Qingwei's voice that seemed to carry a smile could be heard from the hospital room.
"Normally he's so busy with work, I can't even expect him to visit when I'm in the hospital." Although Auntie Chai was complaining, it was obvious from her tone that she was proud of her son.
"Being busy is good, young people being busy means that they have ambitions and that's good. If they had no ability and just stayed at home all day with nothing to do, you'll get anxious and angry. Furthermore, this child is also very filial!" Xia Qingwei smiled and said, "Even though he's busy, he wholeheartedly takes care of both of you."
"Yes, even though he's busy, he's definitely filial. I can understand him, otherwise, I would have disowned him a long time ago," Auntie Chai felt that her son was really very good, and after hearing Xia Qingwei praise him, she started to boast about her son.
It was just that only she could complain about him, and if someone else spoke bad about him, she would fall out with them.
"Man Man, you're back," Xia Qingwei saw that Lu Man was at the doorway, and quickly beckoned her over, "You came just in time, your Auntie Chai is got discharged, and she's going to leave now."
As Lu Man hurriedly entered, she saw the back view of a man standing by Auntie Chai's bedside and felt that it was quite familiar, but at that moment she could not remember where she had seen him before.
Also, it just happened that the other person turned around upon hearing what Xia Qingwei said. Just a moment ago he was smiling, but upon seeing Lu Man he was stunned for a while.
Lu Man was so shocked that her mouth fell slightly open, no wonder she found the back-view of the guy slightly familiar, "Manager Wu?"
"Lu Man," Wu Lize also smiled, "What a coincidence!"
Lu Man's whole expression was one of disbelief, "Yes, this is really too coincidental."
Auntie Chai looked at Lu Man, then looked at Wu Lize, "You two know each other?"
"Yes, I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, Lu Man applied to our department yesterday, and I was the one who took her interview," Wu Lize said with a smile on his face.
However, due to his job, Wu Lize rarely visited.
Also, since Lu Man was Lu Qi's assistant before, and just to make her life more difficult Lu Qi used to make her already busy job even busier, thus the number of times Lu Man could visit Xia Qingwei was even lesser that Wu Lize.
Therefore, the two had not met each other until today.
Wu Zhiguo, who was at the side, said, "Ah, Lu Man why didn't you tell me earlier that you were applying for a job at the Han Corporation and that too my son's department.! If you had at least told us the department or company, we could have connected the dots and informed our son and he would have hired you already with no need of an interview."

Xia Qingwei smiled, "It's better not to make trouble for Lize, anyway, Lu Man was hired in the end, so isn't that a good thing?"
"Yes, moreover Lu Man herself is very outstanding, so even without using any relations, she would have been hired," Wu Lize smiled.
He still could not believe that Lu Man was Lu Qiyuan's daughter.
The differences between them were too vast.
Also, no matter how you look at Lu Man, she was not like what Lu Qiyuan and Lu Qi had said.
Suddenly Wu Lize remembered what his mom had mentioned sometime in the past, she had said that her hospital roommate's daughter was very pitiful, her biological father was like a step-father, and even her step-mother and step-sister were bullying her.
Could it be Lu Man?
If it was like that, then everything made sense.
"Then after Lu Man officially starts work, you have to take more care of her," Wu Zhiguo promptly said without even taking time to think.
"Of course," Wu Lize smiled and nodded his head.
On the contrary, it was Auntie Chai who did not say anything, and even her smile was a bit forced.
After Wu Zhiguo finished packing, having bid goodbye to Xia Qingwei and Lu Man, he proceeded with Wu Lize and Auntie Chai to go home.
Suddenly Xia Qingwei remembered, "Aiya! Right the pastry you made for Auntie Chai, have you given it to her?"
"Ah, I was so shocked seeing Manager Wu here that I completely forgot about it," Lu Man raised her hand to check, "Isn't it still in my hand now?"
"Quickly run fast, send it over now maybe she hasn't left yet," Xia Qingwei hurried her.
"Alright," Lu Man nodded, and hurriedly chased after them.
It just happened that luckily Auntie Chai and the others had not left yet and they were still waiting in front of the elevator.
Just as Lu Man was about to walk over, she heard Auntie Chai say, "Lize, as for what your dad said just now about taking care of Lu Man, you can take care of her, but don't fall for Lu Man."
Wu Lize frowned, "Mom, why are you suddenly talking about this? I just met Lu Man yesterday that too only once. I quite admire her ability, but there's nothing else. Don't just go on saying stuff like that, if someone heard it they might misunderstand. I'm a man, so it doesn't matter to me, but this is bad for Lu Man. Especially since she's working under me and I'm her superior, this will affect her reputation.
"Am I not telling you just now? It's not like I'm going to your company and nagging at you. I'm not saying that you really fancy Lu Man, I'm just giving you a reminder. After all, Lu Man is very pretty so I won't find it strange if you take a real liking to her. But I'm telling you right now itself that I won't agree to it," Auntie Chai impatiently threw Wu Zhiguo's hand off her, "Why are you always pulling on me?"
"Lu Man is such a good girl, she's filial and resilient, how can you speak of her like that? Don't you quite like her normally? She didn't offend you right?"
"I do like her, but I only like her as an ordinary person from the younger generation. Moreover, she is someone who needs help, it's not that we won't help her. Of course, if it's possible to help her, we will do everything within our means to help her. But this doesn't mean that I'll accept her as my daughter-in-law. Helping others is one thing, but we also have to consider the reality of the situation right? Lu Man's mother's health is like that, so even if the surgery was a success, that illness cannot be cured and she must be taken care of and she needs to be medicines to ensure that she's alright. That's a bottomless pit, and in the future, the amount of money spent will become more and more since it's not that after this surgery, everything is well forever. Lu Man's father is also one of a kind that it's already good enough for her if he doesn't make trouble, so how can he be relied on to help Lu Man? In the future, whoever marries Lu Man, is not truly marrying only Lu Man."
Even now Auntie Chai could feel Wu Zhiguo continue to pull on her, thus she impatiently pulled him away from her, "I told you to stop pulling on me!"
