Capítulo 1766: Chapter 1967: Unexpected Encounter with Liang Xiaohan
Uncle’s words ca straight from the heart, expressing his genuine thoughts without any falsehood. Just imagine, an elderly man nearing his sixtieth birthday, suffering from back pain for years, living in agony, and then suddenly one day, the ailnt is completely gone. How excited would he be?
Uncle was just like that. After so many years of dication and treatnt, he’d lost hope in curing this ailnt. Yet now, it was suddenly cured, the long-standing back pain that tornted him was gone. Isn’t that thrilling?
So, expressing gratitude towards Hao Jian was only natural.
At this mont, his gaze towards Hao Jian had noticeably changed. Earlier, he was more about assessing, observing this young lad for his niece’s sake. Now, his expression had grown fonder, with admiration.
At this point, observing from the side, Liang Yuwei smiled and said, “Uncle, see, I told you about Hao Jian’s exceptional dical skills. You didn’t believe
at first, but now you do.”
Liang Youzhen quietly nodded, indicating his agreent to this truth.
Uncle smiled quietly, waved his hand, and said, “I never said I didn’t believe you. Don’t say such things that might make Little Hao have a negative impression of .”
Uncle’s playful remark imdiately made everyone laugh. Seeing this, Hao Jian quickly responded, “Have a bad impression of Uncle? I wouldn’t dare, otherwise Yuwei would flay
alive!”
Uncle’s words had already amused everyone, but Hao Jian’s reply made the crowd burst into laughter again, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Hao Jian laughed, visibly pleased with the harmonious atmosphere of a family gathering like this.
He noticed the change in second uncle’s gaze after a brief observation, he understood his personality, matching his role: a man of few words, yet his eyes constantly monitored the surrounding changes, with everything virtually under his control, a thoughtful person.
Such people often possess considerable power, so Hao Jian stayed alert, keeping an eye on second uncle. Previously, second uncle’s gaze held assessnt and observation. Now, it included more appreciation.
He realized it was the effect of his demonstrated dical skill. If soone lacks expertise, elders surely wouldn’t favor them. But his comndable dical prowess gained recognition from Uncle and second uncle, indicating that Liang Yuwei’s elders had started accepting him as a younger family mber.
Hao Jian remained silent, yet second uncle noticed Hao Jian glanced at him.
At this mont, second uncle quietly smiled, seemingly aware of Hao Jian’s thoughts, and suddenly said, “Little Hao, your second aunt’s throat has been sowhat uncomfortable, with frequent dizziness. Since your dical skills are so proficient, why not check on your second aunt?”
Hao Jian silently smiled and said, “Alright.”
Then he quietly approached second aunt. Second aunt seed slightly surprised, not expecting second uncle to say that, but she cald down when Hao Jian ca closer.
Hao Jian looked at second aunt and said, “Second aunt, may I ask you to extend your hand for
to feel your pulse?”
Second aunt complied, extending her hand for Hao Jian to feel her pulse. Hao Jian placed his hand on it, silently checking the pulse. As he felt the pulse, a smile gradually appeared on his serious face, then he released his hand and stood up.
Second aunt’s ailnts were re common issues, easily curable with so regular dication. Second uncle likely wanted to bridge the gap with him, realizing this brought a smile to his face.
Then he said, “Second aunt’s condition is harmless. Occasional dizziness and throat discomfort just require a bit of dication. I’ll prescribe sothing for second aunt to take a few tis, and it will be fine.”
The two exchanged smiles, then Hao Jian went back to his seat.
Through these little exchanges, the previous awkwardness and unfamiliarity disappeared. Liang Yuwei’s family elders acknowledged Hao Jian, drawing the relationship closer. Afterwards, the group sat together for a chat, mostly centered around Hao Jian, ensuring he felt comfortable and not awkward.
Hao Jian listened, smiling, and answering the elders’ questions, occasionally chatting lightly about unrelated topics.
As they spoke, half an hour quietly slipped away, as everyone talked happily, unaware that alti approached. Only when the housekeeper ca over to summon them did everyone understand.
Liang Youzhen, as the family’s host, naturally stood up first, saying, “In that case, let’s go eat first. We’ll talk more after dinner.”
Uncle and Aunt, Second Uncle and Second Aunt all stood up together, and as a junior, Hao Jian followed suit. Liang Yuwei walked over and clasped Hao Jian’s arm, looking very intimate.
Hao Jian felt a bit confused seeing this scene. Originally, it was just an act, pretending to be Liang Yuwei’s boyfriend, but now it seed more real. Liang Yuwei had completely imrsed herself in the role, and her family already treated him as a real nephew-in-law.
Thinking about this, a smile appeared on Hao Jian’s face. It was like finding a treasure without effort.
While thinking, Liang Youzhen had already gotten up and walked towards the dining room, followed by Uncle and the others. Just then, Aunt suddenly turned back and asked, “Where’s Xiaohai? Why can’t I see her?”
Second Aunt was the first to understand, instinctively glancing upstairs, then said, “Oh, she’s upstairs with Little Lai and Junjun. No idea what they’re up to.”
Hao Jian felt a familiar tightness in his heart when he heard the na “Xiaohan,” suddenly feeling an incredibly familiar sensation.
The mont Second Aunt spoke, she walked upstairs alone, saying, “You all go eat first, I’ll call her down. This kid is too playful, she even forgets to eat.”
With that, Second Aunt was already heading upstairs, while Liang Youzhen and Uncle and Second Uncle seed long used to such situations, continuing towards the dining room like it was nothing. At this ti, Hao Jian stopped in his tracks, feeling an inexplicable force holding him back.
Watching Second Aunt go upstairs, she called out several tis, “Hanhan, co down with the little brother and sister to eat. Stop playing.”
A voice from upstairs responded, “Oh, coming down in a mont!”
Second Aunt’s so-called Hanhan was in a room, smoking a mild cigarette by the open window. Hearing the call, she responded and imdiately stubbed out the cigarette, tossed it out the window, and drank so milk to wash away the cigarette odor from her mouth.
Then, she seriously looked at Uncle’s kids, her nephew and niece, Little Lai and Junjun, and sternly said, “Don’t tell your parents about what Auntie did earlier, or Auntie won’t play with you anymore.”
The two little kids, just preschool age, didn’t understand much, only knowing they’d be upset if Auntie didn’t play with them, so they imdiately nodded very sincerely.
Hanhan, satisfied with this, nodded and checked herself to ensure no cigarette sll lingered before leaving the room.
Upon stepping out, she glanced downstairs, where suddenly her sight was overwheld by sothing unexpected, leaving her utterly stunned.
anwhile, when Hao Jian looked up and saw soone co out, he was equally astonished and surprised. This was completely beyond his imagination—a shock inducing shock upon shock.
The Hanhan ntioned by Second Aunt, coming out with two kids, was unexpectedly Liang Xiaohan, whom he t at Degao Affiliated School, the sa Liang Xiaohan he’d seen on the sports field that night, the girl who generously offered him a cigarette at the alley entrance.
At this mont, Hao Jian’s face displayed a dazed expression mixed with shock—he had heard from Liang Yuwei that her Second Uncle had a daughter who would be joining them, but never imagined the daughter Liang Yuwei ntioned would be Liang Xiaohan.
When Aunt and Second Aunt ntioned Xiaohan and Hanhan, he was already feeling sensitive, strangely familiar, yet never thought in that direction.
And now, suddenly seeing the Liang Xiaohan who haunted his thoughts standing right before him, he was left bewildered and surprised.
How could it be that Liang Xiaohan is Second Uncle’s daughter as ntioned by Liang Yuwei?
This… Hao Jian found it hard to accept the reality given by this answer.
At the sa ti, Liang Xiaohan also looked at Hao Jian with surprise. Though Hao Jian appeared differently dressed than when they last t, more formal, she recognized him at first glance.
She was surprised because she heard that Sister Yuwei, who grew up playing with her, found a boyfriend. She was amazed that Sister Yuwei, who never sought a boyfriend, suddenly had one, and curious how outstanding he must be.
Upon seeing Hao Jian, she suddenly understood that Sister Yuwei’s boyfriend was indeed Hao Jian.
