Chapter 230: The Strange Security Guard
Li Qiao spent half an hour with Duan Jingming at the hospital before she promptly left after receiving a phone call from the laboratory.
After she left, a figure slowly emerged around the corner outside the door—her grandaunt Duan Shuhua.
With a complex expression on her face, Shuhua gazed at the slightly ajar door of the hospital room, her eyes flickering restlessly.
The old man had secretly commissioned a lawyer to notarize the division of his property and had informed Li Qiao before telling anyone else.
Did he really regard his own flesh and blood as less important than an external granddaughter?
...
Back in the laboratory, Li Qiao met up with Lian Zhen. The two sat in front of the testing equipment, flipping through the freshly printed reports.
At that moment, Academician Jiang, dressed in a white lab coat and looking weary, came over, stood behind Li Qiao and Lian Zhen, leaned on the back of their chairs and said, "Qiaoqiao, do you have a moment? There’s something... we need to discuss."
Li Qiao put down the report, nodded, and got up, "Okay."
Soon, the two entered Academician Jiang’s office. Li Qiao closed the door behind her as Jiang gestured toward the desk, indicating she should sit down.
Li Qiao took a seat. Academician Jiang slightly raised his eyelids and asked in a roundabout way, "Qiaoqiao, you’ve been working in the lab for two weeks now, how do you feel... about it?"
