His daughter, who was always pale, was now ruddy. She had a rare relaxed smile on her face.
“Shuishui, what are you doing?” Chen Shan was stunned on the spot, and his eyes turned red.
Chen Shui was also very excited, but she still maintained her composure and said to Chen Shan, “Dad, after sister Xia gave me a massage, I feel that my body has become stronger.”
“Dad, I’m starting to look forward to the day when I can become a normal person. I want to go to school, and be with my friends.”
Chen Shan’s eyes reddened even more. “Okay, I will definitely try my best to make you go to school. When the time comes, I will even bring you to go hiking and do all sorts of things.”
Chen Shui nodded heavily. “Okay, then, Dad, don’t miss the appointment.”
Xia Wan looked at the two’s excited expressions and felt touched.
Even though Chen Shan had power and influence now, he loved his family very much. This made Xia Wan think of her father, Xia Hai.
If she had any strange illness, her family would find a way to cure her, no matter how poor they were. As long as there was a chance, her family would not give up.
Half an hour later, Xia Wan stopped and said to Chen Shui, “The environment here is very good, and it’s good for your recovery. From now on, I’ll come here every day to give you a massage and prepare a herbal meal for you.”
Chen Shui now looked at Xia Wan with admiration.
She quickly nodded. “Okay, Sister Xia. I’ll wait for you here.”
Seeing that Xia Wan was about to leave, Chen Shan quickly said, “Miracle Doctor Xia, stay for dinner. You’ve been massaging Shuishui for so long. How can you not have a meal? People will say that the Chen family doesn’t treat their guests well.”
Xia Wan looked at the time. It was almost noon, so she did not decline.
She wouldn’t be going out for the next few days anyway, and her father’s improving condition had basically stabilized the situation. She was really quite free these few days.
It was time to eat, and there were a total of eight dishes on the table. There was meat, vegetables, and soup.
“I don’t know what you prefer, Miracle Doctor Xia, so I asked them to make a few more dishes,” Chen Shan explained.
“Mr. Chen, please don’t call me Miracle Doctor Xia anymore. Just call me Wanwan.” Xia Wan smiled.
Chen Shan laughed and immediately changed his words. “Okay, then I’ll call you Wanwan from now on.”
“I’ve heard about Lu Lin. He’s nowhere nearly good enough for an outstanding girl like you. Don’t worry, with me around; the Lu family won’t dare to touch you,” Chen Shan said during the meal.
Xia Wan did not want Chen Shan to go against the Lu family because of her, so she explained, “Mr. Chen, it’s just that this Lu Lin doesn’t follow the rules. I know that Old Master Lu is a good person.”
Chen Shan was keenly aware of the loophole in her words and couldn’t help but ask, “Wanwan, you’ve been in town all this time. How did you know about Old
Master Lu?”
Xia Wan’s hand that was holding the chopsticks paused. She thought to herself that the person who could reach this position was a lot more than met the eye.
She randomly found a reason and said, “Grandpa has mentioned Old Master Lu to me before. When his comrades were in danger, he’d step forward to protect them. For them, he didn’t mind risking his life.
“How could such a person break off the engagement and look down on the country bumpkins? I’ve heard from Grandpa that Old Master Lu’s father was only an ordinary farmer in his generation. But now, the Lu family is very powerful. It means they have completely relied on Old Master Lu, riding on his coattails.
“An old man like him is naturally knowledgeable. Lu Lin is just a prodigal who does as he pleases by stepping on the merits of his elders.”
Chen Shan regretted asking the question. He often dealt with all kinds of people, some of who would subconsciously analyze the loopholes in words using logic.
He knew that Xia Wan had never met Old Master Lu before, but her words only affirmed his character, so he subconsciously doubted himself.
However, if he asked such a question, Xia Wan might misunderstand and think that he was suspecting something.
After hearing Xia Wan’s explanation, Chen Shan could only sigh at her intelligence. She could deduce so much from a few things.
“You’re indeed a brilliant girl.” Chen Shan complimented her and stopped talking about the Lu family. He only talked about some of his experiences when he was young. Both Xia Wan and Chen Shui listened attentively.
When Xia Wan was about to leave, Chen Shan sent her to the door and handed a red packet to Xia Wan. “The password of the card is six sixes. You can change it yourself when the time comes. This is a little token of my appreciation. You’ve already started treating Shuishui’s illness, and I can’t just sit by and do nothing..”
