"I have a call." Jing Yu said to Qi Jinnian, and then took the phone to a corner with few people. On the screen was the number of Professor Luo, the teacher. Jing Yu answered the call, "Teacher."
"are you free tonight?"
"Nothing, I'm not on duty tonight."
"That's perfect. Can you work overtime tonight? I'll give you five times the overtime pay."
Being able to make money is better than anything else for Jingyu. Even though she stayed up all night last night, she didn't think it mattered. So, she agreed without hesitation and asked, "Is there something urgent at the hospital?"
"It's not the hospital. It's Madam Yu's place." Professor Luo said, "Madam Yu asked you to go there this afternoon and accompany her to a dinner party tonight."
"Do we need a doctor to accompany us to the dinner?" Jing Yu felt strange.
"The weather has been getting colder recently, and her legs are hurting more and more. In fact, the doctor can't help. But that's how rich people are. They feel more at ease with a trustworthy doctor by their side. As for the dinner, my wife said it would be better to take you with her instead of an old man like me, so she asked you to go to her place this afternoon."
"Okay, I'll take a taxi there this afternoon."
Jingyu hung up the phone, and Qi Jinnian came over and asked, "Are you working again?"
"Well. Let's get in the car and go back." Jing Yu yawned and looked at his watch. "We can still sleep for a few hours if we go back now. Don't call me at noon. I won't eat."
"You didn't eat breakfast either?"
"hold head high."
Qi Jinnian made a "tsk" sound and grumbled, "You're a doctor, but you don't even take care of your own health. When you get busy at night, you might not be able to eat again."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Jingyu went back to her rental house and took a nap. When she woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. When she was about to call a car to her wife's house, her wife had already sent a driver to pick her up and take her to the villa halfway up the mountain.
It took about an hour's drive to get there.
It was warm in the villa. Jingyu was invited by the servant to the dressing room on the second floor. The lady was standing in front of the mirror and was being helped by the servant to change into a dress. When she saw Jingyu coming in, she looked up and smiled gently, "Doctor Jing, did I bother you today?"
"No, I just happen to be free today." Jing Yu shook her head. Even though the lady in front of her was already over 50 years old, she still looked stunning at the moment. She was wearing a calm black dress, looking elegant and dignified. Her exquisite and perfect makeup and well-maintained skin made her look ageless.
Jing Yu thought of Yu Zeyao's father, the man he had met in Baiyu Palace today. Compared with him, this Mrs. Yu was gentle, kind, and much more approachable. And the male owner of this room had never been seen. I'm afraid that the couple did not live together.
"Is there something wrong with you looking at me like that?" The lady looked herself up and down.
Jing Yu came back to his senses, shook his head, and praised sincerely: "Yes, I think it's beautiful."
Madam smiled gently, "You have to accompany me to the dinner tonight, so you should also put on some makeup and change your clothes. It's not that your dress is indecent, it's because of the occasion. You must wear a formal dress to enter. Sorry for bothering you."
Jingyu didn't bring a dress, but the lady had obviously made preparations and asked the servants to take her to put on makeup and change into a white dress.

The dinner started at 7pm and was held on a luxurious cruise ship.
Jingyu and her friends drove all the way to the pier.
The lady could barely support herself with her legs for half an hour, so she did not sit in a wheelchair when she got off the car. She folded the wheelchair and let the servant hold it in her hands.
The cold wind howled on the brightly lit dock, blowing up the skirts of the women. Jing Yu quickly took a cloak from the car and put it on his wife, saying, "Madam, you have to find a warm place to sit down. This kind of wind will have a great impact on your leg injury."
"Yes. I'll have to trouble you tonight."
The lady nodded to Jingyu.
"Madam." At this moment, a voice sounded, and then a group of well-trained men in black respectfully invited the madam and her onto the cruise ship.
The dinner hadn't officially started yet, but the cruise ship was already full of people, including gentlemen, nobles, businessmen, and politicians.
As soon as the lady appeared, everyone gathered around respectfully to greet and congratulate her. The lady responded generously and appropriately. Jing Yu was always acting as a personal doctor, and his attention was only on the lady's legs, so he was always watching her nose and her heart.
After walking around, the lady was invited to rest in the luxurious room of the cruise ship due to special circumstances.
Jing Yu massaged her legs, and the lady said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. It's boring sitting here. The dinner outside is about to start. You should go out and take a look. I know you young people like lively places."
Jing Yu nodded slightly.
She didn't like crowded places. In the past, her father would occasionally hold business parties at home, and usually, she and Jingrong would avoid them whenever possible. But at this moment, she actually missed the hustle and bustle of those times. Unfortunately, everything could never go back.
She was a little seasick, so she didn't stay in the room for long. She said goodbye to her wife and prepared to leave the room. However, just as she put her hand on the door handle, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Jing Yu didn't expect there to be someone outside the door. The sudden force startled her and she subconsciously took a step back. When she saw the person standing at the door clearly, she was stunned and stood there for a long time without moving. Only the fingers on the door handle trembled.
At this moment, Yu Zeyao didn't expect that there was someone at the door, and he didn't expect it to be her.
His deep pupils swept over her, his gaze becoming more complex and profound. He stared at her in a dress, with makeup on and her hair tied up, and he didn't look away for a long time.
The two of them just stood at the door, looking at each other. They were only half a meter apart, and the light fragrance on his body could clearly enter her nose. He could also see her flawless cheeks and her elegant and delicate long hair.
"Why are you here?" Yu Zeyao was the first to speak. His eyes were fixed on her face, not moving away for a moment.
Jing Yu came back to his senses and subconsciously took a step back, keeping a greater distance from him. Yu Zeyao saw this small action clearly, and his eyebrows were furrowed into a "chuan" shape, and his eyes became even colder.
She calmed down a little, then turned her eyes away from his face and replied calmly: "I am the Madam's personal doctor tonight."
Yu Zeyao turned his gaze towards his mother. Madam Fang Chupei smiled meaningfully at her son and nodded, "Tonight is your celebration banquet. I thought that Dr. Xiaojing and you know each other, so I took the initiative to ask her to come with me."
Jing Yu heard what his wife said and it seemed that she brought him to the dinner party on purpose, not for her legs.
She did not ask for confirmation again, but just looked back at the lady and said softly, "Madam, I will go out first."
