Chapter 781: Looks Good on the Surface

“Can you teach us kung fu?” Su Zhixing asked.

Wang Yao was stunned. He replied, “You still haven’t forgotten about that at a time like this.”

“It is precisely because of this incident that I feel the urgent need to invite you over,” Su Zhixing replied.

“Ha-ha, what I have learned may not be suitable for you guys,” Wang Yao said.

“How do you know if it’s not suitable without trying?” Su Zhixing asked.

“We’ll see,” Wang Yao said, once again politely declining.

...

Thousands of miles away in Dao...

“What do you mean?” Li Fang stared at Jia Zizai, who was sitting in front of him.

“I’m sorry, the doctor I know just left for the provinces to treat someone,” Jia Zizai said. “Your son will have to wait for a little.”

“Alright, we’ll wait,” Li Fang said.

He did not show any displeasure. Perhaps he had not placed too much hope in this matter in the first place. He had to wait. Jia Zizai had to wait as well.

“This feeling of pinning hope on others is really bad,” Jia Zizai said.

“At the very least, Mr. Wang is reliable,” Hu Mei whispered.

Jia Zizai nodded in agreement and said, “But I don’t know where he went or why he left in such a hurry.”

He knew that Wang Yao’s trip to Dao was for their business, but he had left the city before the matter could be solved. He hadn’t even told them before leaving. Since he was in such a hurry, it must have been something urgent. Now that their main reliance was gone, they had to wait.

...

In Jing, after a day and a night, most of the poison in Su Zhixing and Meng Wushuang was removed. The two recovered beyond the imagination of doctors.

“What kind of medicine is it?” a doctor asked. “How can it be so magical?”

“Who is that young doctor?” a nurse asked. “What hospital is he from?”

The doctors and nurses who knew about the two patients were very curious about Wang Yao’s situation. He was so young but amazing.

“He looks like he doesn’t have a girlfriend, right?” a nurse asked.

“Are you in the mood again?” another nurse asked.

Whenever Wang Yao came, the beautiful little nurse would come forward on her initiative.

“My brother-in-law is quite attractive,” Su Zhixing said with a laugh.

“Brother-in-law?” The beautiful little nurse was stunned. Her face flushed with undisguised disappointment.

“Yes, my future brother-in-law,” Su Zhixing said.

“Sod, he’s not your brother-in-law,” the nurse said.

After three consecutive days of taking the medicine, Su Zhixing and Meng Wushuang were able to get out of bed and walk around. After tests using advanced medical instruments, they found that their bodies were not in serious trouble. Restorative treatment would be next.

“Since I’m all recovered, is it possible to leave the hospital?” Su Zhixing asked.

He was tired of staying at the hospital. Although they were in a warm and cozy ward, ultimately, it was not as good as home.

“I’ve asked the doctor, and you’ll have to stay here for another week to see if there’s anything unexpected,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“What unexpected accidents? Isn’t my brother-in-law here?” Su Zhixing asked.

“You’re almost in your late 30s, yet still don’t have a filter to your words,” Su Xiaoxue said. “Settle your wedding this year first!”

On the second day of his hospitalization, Wang Yao had seen a beautiful woman. At first glance, he could see that she was from the army and very beautiful. The look in Su Zhixing’s eyes dramatically changed when he saw her.

“Where is she from?” Wang Yao asked.

“Sichuan. They are engaged, but they haven’t officially gotten married yet,” Su Xiaoxue replied.

“Is she from the army too?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, her name is Xu Xiaoya,” Su Xiaoxue said. “Her grandpa and my grandpa are old comrades-in-arms. When they were in the womb, infant matrimony was set.”

“Infant matrimony?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, let me tell you, the people in the courtyard all love this,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“No one was engaged to you?” Wang Yao asked.

“No,” Su Xiaoxue happily said. “I’m the only girl in my family. My grandpa and grandma loved me so much and feared that I would lose out.”

“Fortunately, you’re not engaged, or I’d have to snatch someone’s bride,” Wang Yao said.

Su Xiaoxue’s face blossomed into a sweet one when she heard that. She leaned tightly against him.

This child! Song Ruiping just happened to see it.

Su Xianghua had also returned from abroad and rushed to the hospital. After confirming that his son was not in danger, he invited Wang Yao to dinner at his home that evening to express his gratitude. After all, they were not a family yet. Wang Yao’s kind intentions were very rare.

Song Ruiping returned with them. Su Xiaoxue even cooked a couple of dishes.

In the evening, Wang Yao drank two glasses of wine. Everyone seemed much happier.

When Wang Yao returned to the courtyard, it was after 10 p.m. He thought, It’ll be time to go back in a few days.

A few nights prior, while eating at the Su house, he received a call from his father asking him how things were going. Unknowingly, he had been away for nearly a week. During this period, he hadn’t called to report his safety, so his parents were worried. When they heard he was having dinner at Su Xiaoxue’s house, they were overjoyed and asked him to stay in Jing for a few more days instead of rushing back.

As for Su Zhixing and Meng Wushuang, they could probably be discharged in another week. Two weeks after that, they would basically be the same as they were and live normal lives.

Nothing happened overnight. The next morning, Wang Yao met a man in the hospital. It was Guo Zhenghe.

“I heard that Brother Zhixing was injured, so I’ve come to visit.” Guo Zhenghe’s face still had the same harmless and brilliant smile. “Sir, your medical skills are excellent indeed.”

“I’m flattered.” Wang Yao felt uncomfortable seeing the man and his smile. It was a fake smile.

“Where’s Xiaoxue? Is she not with you?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“She has classes today,” Wang Yao replied.

The two men said a few words and fell into a state of silence. Guo Zhenghe showed the ability he had learned from his officialdom through the years of finding topics out of thin air.

“Brother Zhixing, when you are well, I’ll buy you a drink,” Guo Zhenghe said.

“Sure, that’s a deal,” Su Zhixing said.

Guo Zhenghe turned to Wang Yao and asked, “Are you free this afternoon?”

“I’m sorry, but I’ll be having dinner with Xiaoxue,” Wang Yao replied.

“Oh, OK. Maybe next time.” Guo Zhenghe left with a smile.

“How do you feel?” Wang Yao asked Su Zhixing.

“Much better. I’ll go down and wander around after my IV drip. Wait, do I still need to have this IV drip?” With his “divine doctor” around, he did not feel the need to inject those things.

“I’ve looked at it, and those are nutrients that can help your body recover,” Wang Yao said.

During this time, he had been involved in and studied Western medicine, especially these drugs. Therefore, he knew what kind of drugs were in the bottle Su Zhixing was being injected with. Western medicine had both advantages and disadvantages.

“Hey, that fellow should’ve left, right?” Su Zhixing glanced at the direction of the door.

“He’s far away,” Wang Yao said. He was sure about that.

“What do you think of your competitor?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Competitor?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, he likes Xiaoxue too,” Su Zhixing said.

“He’s nothing much,” Wang Yao bluntly said.

“Mmm, I don’t think much of him either,” Su Zhixing said. “He smiles brightly, but he’s a very insidious fellow under the surface. You have to be careful of him.”

“You know that too?” Wang Yao was surprised.

“Of course, after Xiaoxue got well, that fellow’s thoughts jumped out,” Su Zhixing said. “He wanted to marry Xiaoxue. At that time, you guys were not in a relationship. As for who my sister can marry, I had to check carefully. After the investigation, I found out that he is a typical hypocrite.”

Wang Yao laughed. That word was very derogatory.

“He smiles like sunshine and looks harmless, but what he does behind the scenes is disgusting,” Su Zhixing said.

“I thought you were having a good conversation with him just now,” Wang Yao said.

“On the surface, I have to be friendly,” Su Zhixing said. “Although I don’t like him, I don’t think it’s necessary to fall out with him. One doesn’t slap the smiler, right?”

“You’ve almost recovered,” Wang Yao said. “I’m leaving Jing, so I just wanted to let you know.”

“When? Why are you in such a hurry?” Su Zhixing asked.

“In two days,” Wang Yao replied. “There are still some things to be dealt with at home.”

“Alright, sure,” Su Zhixing said.

Wang Yao gave Su Xiaoxue a prescription for the Primordial Spirit Soup. “This is for him to nourish his body.”
