Capítulo 1063: Chapter 1051: The Zhan Family Shocked
“Oh right, big sis, second sis, I prepared a little gift for you both. Hold on a mont, I’m going to get it.”
After speaking, Wu Xirui stood up and walked away.
He went to the luggage to fetch the gifts and quickly returned.
Before coming back to the empire, he had already asked around about Qiao Jing’s current situation. He knew she was now living as the third young lady of the Qiao Family in Nandu, and she had two more sisters.
So, he specially brought gifts for these two sisters as well!
Consider it a goodwill gesture; it would only benefit him in pursuing Qiao Jing!
The gifts Wu Xirui prepared for Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin were a necklace and a bracelet respectively.
Even soone who doesn’t know about these things could tell they were valuable.
Qiao Hong imdiately shook her head, “These gifts are too expensive. We can’t accept them.”
Qiao Lin agreed, “Yes, you should keep them. Even without considering whether the gifts are expensive, this is our first eting, and there’s no reason for it, we can’t accept your gifts.”
Seeing their refusal, Wu Xirui began to appeal with emotion and reason.
“How can it be for no reason? If it weren’t for Xiao Jing saving , I might have been gone a few days ago!”
“To be honest, over the years, I’ve been plagued by this illness, almost giving up hope for life. Without Xiao Jing, I’d live in darkness forever!”
“So, compared to the gratitude I owe Xiao Jing, these little trinkets feel as insignificant as feathers. If you don’t accept them, I’ll feel really bad!”
Wu Xirui spoke with deep emotion and a captivating heart.
After listening, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin almost felt refusing him would cruelly push him back into darkness!
In the end, the two sisters had no choice but to accept Wu Xirui’s gifts.
Qiao Jing, listening at the side, could only hold her forehead in resignation.
There’s no denying, Wu Xirui really has a silver tongue and is quite eloquent!
After the gift-giving, everyone sat back down to eat.
But just after a few bites, Qiao Jing’s phone suddenly rang.
She took it out and saw it was Old Master Zhan calling, and imdiately felt a headache.
Could the old man be asking her to go to the Zhan Family again?
With so reluctance, Qiao Jing answered the call.
Before she could speak, the old man’s voice ca from the other end, “Jing Girl, you should co over quickly. I’ve been feeling unwell these past two days, haven’t been sleeping well at night, my head is spinning badly, and my chronic cough has worsened… cough, cough, cough…”
Qiao Jing, speechless, raised her hand to rub her temples.
This was exactly as she predicted!
Not to exaggerate, she could recite these lines of his by heart!
On the phone, the old man was still rambling on and on. Qiao Jing cleared her throat and interrupted him.
“I’ve been very busy these past couple of days, extrely busy, and probably won’t have ti to co over. If you really feel unwell, why not let Master Zhou co take a look first?”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Yuanshan was certainly unwilling.
He snorted with disapproval, “Zhou Fu’s dical skills aren’t as good as yours. He can’t cure my illness. My illness, only you can cure!”
“How about this, let Master Zhou see you first, and if it really doesn’t work out, I’ll co over again. I have sothing on my end now, I’ll hang up first.”
After finishing, not giving the old man a chance to bargain, Qiao Jing imdiately hung up the phone.
If she’d been slower in hanging up, she figured the old man would start acting like he was dying again!
At this ti, over at Purple Garden, the Zhan Family was also sitting at the dining table, preparing to have dinner.
After hanging up the phone, Zhan Yuanshan put away his phone and muttered with a frown, “What is this Jing Girl so busy with that she doesn’t have ti to visit , the old man? Can she really be that busy?”
Zhan Nanjing picked up a piece of at into her bowl while saying, “I can attest to that. She really is quite busy, not only going to the research institute for agricultural research, but sotis she also goes to Wonderful Hall to help Master Zhou with patients.”
“Moreover, she has another patient now, and that patient is shalessly living at her house! Do you think she can be not busy?”
When Zhan Yuanshan heard this, his brow furrowed even more, and he started firing questions like a machine gun, “What?! What kind of patient? Living at her house? Is it a man or a woman?”
Listening to their conversation, Zhan Qipei’s hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, but his handso face showed no sign of emotion, remaining as calm as ever.
Zhan Nanjing glanced at her brother, then said, “Actually, you all know the patient, and he has an unclear relationship with our family.”
“Who exactly is it? Hurry up and say it, stop playing riddles!” The old man couldn’t wait and urged.
“Alright, alright, I’ll say it plainly, the patient is Wu Xirui!”
As soon as Zhan Nanjing said this, everyone present looked surprised.
Zhan Qipei’s gaze darkened, and his expression turned even colder.
If it weren’t for the elders present, he was suppressing his emotions, the chopsticks in his hand would have broken into two pieces by now!
The incident with his wife back then was inextricably linked to Wu Xirui!
Zhan Yuanshan gave a look to his granddaughter, and asked again, “You explain it clearly, what’s going on with this situation?”
“Didn’t we go to Country M for the agricultural exchange, and one night Xiao Jing went for a walk and happened to run into Wu Xirui fainting on the street. Xiao Jing kindly sent Wu Xirui to the hospital and even personally treated him, and as a result, Wu Xirui clung onto her!”
Zhan Nanjing recounted the events once through.
At this mont, Su Manhan expressed her doubts, “Does Xiao Jing really have the ability to cure Wu Xirui’s illness?”
On this point, Zhan Qipei and Zhan Yuanshan were also skeptical.
After all, in their impression, only Qiao Jing, as the Divine Doctor Jing, would have the ability to cure Wu Xirui’s illness!
Zhan Nanjing thought for a mont and guessed, “Then maybe my sister-in-law had previously taught Xiao Jing the treatnt thod for this kind of ailnt.”
Since Xiao Jing is her sister-in-law’s sister, her sister-in-law teaching Xiao Jing dical and agricultural knowledge, is quite reasonable!
Su Manhan nodded, “This explanation indeed makes sense, it’s certainly possible.”
After hesitating for a mont, Zhan Nanjing spoke her mind, “Could it be because Xiao Jing has the ability to cure Wu Xirui’s illness, so Wu Xirui keeps sticking to her?”
“Although this way he won’t covet my sister-in-law anymore, but now he’s so clingy to my sister-in-law’s sister, it just feels like a good cabbage being dug by a pig. Thinking about it makes feel kind of blocked…”
Before Zhan Nanjing finished speaking, Zhan Yuanshan already sent over a glare.
He wore a stern expression and scolded, “What’s with the way you’re talking? After all, he’s my biological grandson, your cousin. If you’re saying he’s a pig, aren’t you calling yourself a pig too? Does that an our whole family becos pigs?!”
