Chapter 760: Quite Filial After All
Seeing the assertive expression on Zeng Xiaoi’s face, Xiao Yi opened his mouth, wanting to protest sothing, but after hesitating for a bit, he ultimately softened.
Forget it, if I have to take her joyride, so be it. It’s not like she’s going to eat , right?
If I don’t cater to her wishes and end up irritating her, I would only be inviting endless trouble.
In his heart, Xiao Yi weighed his options and finally decided to grit his teeth, not worry about it too much, and just go along with her for now.
The three doctors nearby, initially very unhappy with Zeng Xiaoi’s attitude and wanting to speak up for Xiao Yi, couldn’t help but shake their heads after seeing Xiao Yi’s expression. They all realized that their idol, the young Doctor Xiao, although extrely skilled and dominant in dicine, seed to be a complete pushover in matters of the heart, and it looked like he was going to be eaten alive by this wealthy miss.
As Zeng Xiaoi saw that Xiao Yi didn’t say anything more, a satisfied expression appeared on her face. She turned to Dean Chen and the three doctors and said, "Dean Chen, and the three doctors, I’ll leave the rest to you. Please contact us right away if there’s any situation."
"Sure, of course, no problem. Miss Zeng, please rest assured, we’ll definitely call you the mont the patient wakes up," Dean Chen hurriedly responded.
"Dean, who is this little girl? She’s a bit too domineering!"
Watching Xiao Yi slump ahead like a frostbitten eggplant, with his head drooping down, following Zeng Xiaoi who stood tall and chest out, with a powerful aura and an aggressively dominant attitude, Doctor Niu, who was known for his stubborn temperant, couldn’t help but look sowhat displeased as he asked Dean Chen, sensing that Dean Chen obviously knew her.
Dean Chen’s attitude towards Zeng Xiaoi made him feel that he clearly recognized her.
"Yeah, why would Doctor Xiao end up with such a domineering girl? Did you all see that? It’s a wonder how he can put up with it."
"Exactly, how can one live like this..." the other two doctors also chid in.
"The miss of the Zeng family, do you think she could be anything other than strong-willed?" Dean Chen chuckled.
"The Zeng family? Are you talking about that Zeng family?"
Hearing Dean Chen’s introduction, the three doctors were all montarily stunned. They were obviously aware of the Zeng family, one of the old Four Great Families, now one of the Three Great Families, not as formidable as the Zhao Family but still an extrely powerful clan. They had all discerned that Zeng Xiaoi was not an ordinary girl, but they had not imagined her background to be so prominent.
"Which other Zeng family could it be?"
Dean Chen looked at their faces, nodded in approval, and was very satisfied with the expressions and reactions of the three doctors.
"Even if she is from the Zeng family, what does it matter? When dealing with boys, you can’t always be like this..."
Doctor Niu, coming back to his senses from the shock, was still sowhat dissatisfied.
"Right, a girl being too strong is ultimately not a good thing. According to traditional Chinese dicine, n are yang and won are yin, yin and yang should be in harmony. Now, it’s completely reversed, and surely it won’t end well."
"Exactly, did you hear how Doctor Xiao addressed her? Officer Zeng. Even in such a private setting, he still calls her officer. It shows how badly he gets bullied by her usually. She’s so power-hungry. It’s a classic case of soone who can’t separate work from personal life!" the other two doctors also agreed, nodding their heads continuously.
"Alright, alright, it’s getting late, we should go back and rest. We, old fellows, shouldn’t concern ourselves with such trivial matters of young people and worry about it idly!"
Looking at his subordinates filled with righteous indignation, Dean Chen couldn’t help but laugh silently, while in his heart, he beca even more aware of how important Xiao Yi’s status was to them and beca more convinced of the excellence of Xiao Yi’s dical skills.
"That’s true. Let’s go. I just rembered we haven’t eaten yet. Co on, let’s find a place and have a few drinks."
The doctors, after all, weren’t idle gossips filled with aningless chatter, and they were just expressing their concern and sympathy for Xiao Yi montarily. After hearing Dean Chen’s words, they quickly refocused on their own matters.
.......................................
"Relax a bit, I’m not your teacher, nor am I a man-eating tiger. Why so nervous?"
Sitting in the car, Zeng Xiaoi, looking at Xiao Yi sitting beside her like a well-behaved primary school student, staring straight ahead, couldn’t help but say.
"You’re neither a teacher nor a tiger, but you’re much more terrifying than either of them," Xiao Yi thought to himself, but he managed to squeeze out a smile on his face and said sowhat awkwardly, "Officer Zeng is joking. If you were a tiger, I reckon many people would rather run over and let you eat them."
"Your mouth is quite sweet."
No matter how strong Zeng Xiaoi was, she was still a girl, and at this mont, she was in a good mood because the person had been resuscitated. Being called beautiful made her feel instantly comfortable, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly uncontrollably. She glanced at the rearview mirror, a smug look appearing on her face. She was quite confident in her beauty—apart from an almost perfectly sculpted face, her figure was exceptionally perfect due to her frequent exercise, whether it was the proportions of her body and legs or the curviness of various parts.
Everywhere she went, she firmly captured the gaze of everyone, which was the best proof of that.
With these thoughts in mind, she once again glanced at Xiao Yi next to her. Seeing his still sowhat restrained face, she thought for a mont, sighed, and decided not to continue telling him to relax.
So things can’t be changed in a day or two, after all. He was a boy from the countryside, not used to seeing the wider world. It was probably unavoidable for him to act restrained in front of her. She believed that after spending more ti with her and getting to know her better, he would gradually open up.
As Zeng Xiaoi mused to herself for a while, she naturally thought of Xiao Yi saving soone just before, and curiosity sparkled in her eyes as she asked, "Xiao Yi, did you really learn your dical skills from your grandfather?"
She found it hard to believe that a barefoot doctor could teach a child such advanced dical skills.
"Yeah, of course it’s true. Everything I know, I learned from my grandfather, hehe."
Xiao Yi nodded and smiled.
"Your grandfather, was he really a barefoot doctor?"
Zeng Xiaoi looked at Xiao Yi’s expression, which didn’t seem fake, especially when he ntioned his grandfather, the warmth and sparkle in his eyes couldn’t be hidden—it ca from the heart.
"That... should be so?"
Xiao Yi hesitated, and his tone grew unsure. He really couldn’t confirm what a barefoot doctor was. If it ant practicing without a license, without formal education, then he supposed the old man might qualify, because he never rembered him having any dical license, but then again, were there any barefoot doctors as incredible as the old man?
To be honest, Xiao Yi had no idea just how skilled the old man truly was, but what he was sure of was that he had never seen a case the old man couldn’t cure.
"Should be?"
Witnessing Xiao Yi’s expression, Zeng Xiaoi was also taken aback. What did he an? Did he not know himself?
"Officer Zeng, what do you an by ’barefoot doctor’?"
Hearing Zeng Xiaoi’s voice, Xiao Yi snapped back to reality and looked at her earnestly as he asked.
"Of course, it refers to soone who doesn’t have a dical license, doesn’t work in a hospital, just wanders around the villages or runs small clinics, practicing dicine illegally."
Zeng Xiaoi organized her thoughts and replied.
As a police officer closely related to the law, Zeng Xiaoi might not have specialized legal training, but she still knew quite a bit about the basics.
"Oh, then that’s it."
Xiao Yi nodded, his face showing a hint of embarrassnt as he said, "My grandfather probably doesn’t have a dical license, and he doesn’t work in a hospital either."
As he finished speaking, it seed he thought of sothing, and he continued, his voice tense with worry, "But Officer Zeng, rest assured, my grandfather’s dical skills are very high, and he has never deceived anyone or made any mistakes!"
Looking at Xiao Yi’s anxious explanation, Zeng Xiaoi felt a mix of irritation and amusent in her heart. Was he worried about her investigating his grandfather? Did he really think she, a police officer, could do anything and everything? Let alone the fact that his grandfather wasn’t from G City and who knows which corner of the world he was tucked away in, even if it were within the jurisdiction of G City, unless there was a major incident or soone brought a complaint, she wouldn’t go out of her way to investigate.
Moreover, he sounded so sure when saying his grandfather had never deceived anyone. How could he know that? He might not have seen any deceit after he beca sensible, but how could he know what happened before? And as for the talk about high dical skill and never making mistakes—that’s fooling ghosts; even if there had been mistakes, he wouldn’t know...
This way of shirking responsibility wasn’t very clever...
However, it did show that he was quite filial and concerned about his grandfather.
Zeng Xiaoi’s lips curled slightly in her heart, her impression of Xiao Yi improving slightly, and the look she gave him softened a bit.
