When he first went to study dicine, Liu Zheng’s idea was to rely on this skill to make a living.
With such an original intention, Liu Zheng also did not aspire to make a lot of money.
He never thought about making a fortune of two million in one go by treating patients.
Although today, Tang Jiancheng indeed produced two million in cash for him, and that was for his dical fee.
But Liu Zheng understood that ordinary families could not afford such an amount of money.
Therefore, one should not judge normal circumstances based on exceptional cases.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Liu Zheng gave a slight smile and humbly said, "Encountering a patron like the Tang family today is indeed rare. When I treat people, I don’t expect wealth or great riches, and if it were soone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to offer so much for a dical fee."
"It is better to be down-to-earth and not aim too high. If you lift yourself too high, the fall will be hard when it cos."
The more humble and cautious Liu Zheng was, the greater and more impressive he beca in Qin Wanru’s eyes.
Now, the way Qin Wanru looked at Liu Zheng had beco distinctly different.
There was admiration in her eyes, and within that admiration, there also brewed a touch of affection.
For her, she had seen many outstanding n.
But she had never t soone like Liu Zheng, who remained unmoved in the face of such great temptation and was still so humble and cautious.
How could she not be fond of such a man?
Qin Wanru’s gaze and deanor, all of it, fell into the eyes of Liu Suqiu who was sitting nearby.
Seeing this scene, her heart imdiately panicked.
In such a context, a series of very exquisite dishes were served at the table.
Qin Wanru smiled and held the waiter, said sothing to her, and the waiter went out. Not long after, a bottle of red wine was brought in.
Soon, the red wine was opened, and then poured into the goblets of the three people.
The red wine, like red agate, appeared exceedingly gorgeous and lovely under the light.
Picking up her goblet, Qin Wanru swirled it and said to Liu Zheng, "Co, I toast to you. Thank you for your help today."
Liu Zheng picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Qin Wanru’s, and then tilted his head back to finish it in one go.
Seeing him polish off a glass in one gulp, Liu Suqiu blinked in surprise, then frowned.
"Liu Zheng, you’ve been drinking, how are you going to ride your bike later?" she asked.
Hearing her, Qin Wanru across the table couldn’t help laughing and interjecting, "It’s already so late today, riding back to the village is sowhat dangerous. Why don’t you two relax and drink tonight? I will arrange a room for you here, and you can stay and rest. You can return to the village tomorrow."
After hearing her words and turning to see the mischievous smile on Liu Zheng’s face, Liu Suqiu imdiately caught on.
She pinched Liu Zheng’s arm hard, saying, "You... tell , did you plan this all along?"
Liu Zheng, feeling the pinch painfully, put down his wine glass imdiately, and with his other hand, grabbed Liu Suqiu’s hand.
Liu Suqiu felt a flutter in her heart when her hand was caught, and when she tried to pull it back, she found that Liu Zheng had pressed it against his thigh.
Liu Zheng did not answer Liu Suqiu’s question; instead, he began to eat and drink.
As for Liu Suqiu’s hand, it was being kneaded and played with by Liu Zheng’s larger hand.
This caused Liu Suqiu’s face to blush.
Sitting there, her heart thumped wildly.
Only when both of their hands grew sweaty did Liu Zheng finally release hers.
"Yo! What’s going on here? Wan Ru, how co you’re dining here and didn’t even give a heads-up?"
The three of them were enjoying their al amidst laughter and conversation, though Liu Suqiu felt sowhat conflicted, she still wasn’t in a bad mood, seeing as she was dining here.
However.
There was soone who did not want to let them finish their al in peace.
Just as the three were halfway through, soone pushed open the door of the private room from the outside.
Then, the person who ca in made a beeline for Qin Wanru.
When he had finished speaking and sat down, the three people inside the room and the newcor were all taken aback.
Because they all knew the person who had co in.
The newcor was Huang Mingze, a friend of Liu Zheng, and the playboy who had previously tried to take Liu Suqiu away.
And he was the very sa boyfriend that Qin Gang had ntioned he wanted to introduce to Qin Wanru.
For this reason, when she saw him, Qin Wanru’s face turned quite unpleasant.
The smile that had been on her face was now nowhere to be seen.
After Huang Mingze took a seat beside Qin Wanru, he naturally turned his gaze to those present.
At the sight of Liu Zheng, he too was taken aback.
"You? Liu Zheng?"
Hearing him call out Liu Zheng’s na, Qin Wanru couldn’t help but be startled as well.
"You two know each other?"
She looked from Liu Zheng to Huang Mingze, a look of surprise evident on her face.
Seeing Qin Wanru’s confusion, Huang Mingze couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Of course we know each other, we’re old acquaintances."
As he laughed heartily, he pointed at Liu Zheng and said, "He’s my high school classmate."
Watching Huang Mingze laugh boisterously, Liu Zheng frowned, thinking to himself in annoyance how soone like Qin Wanru, could end up being friends with soone like Huang Mingze.
While he was still puzzled, Huang Mingze opposite him bluntly said, "You know? Wan Ru is my fiancée."
As he spoke, he had already lifted his arm and placed it directly on Qin Wanru’s shoulder.
Hearing Huang Mingze’s words, Qin Wanru’s face instantly turned very displeased.
She stretched out her hand and pushed his palm away.
"Stop there! Huang Mingze, the marriage proposal your family and my dad talked about, that’s between you two, but I never agreed to be your girlfriend, let alone fiancée."
Huang Mingze, being called out on the spot, couldn’t help but lose face, his expression turning sowhat gloomy.
But Liu Zheng, not one to be afraid of stirring things up, outright sneered.
"Yo! What era are we in? You still haven’t gotten rid of that habit of taking advantage of won upon eting them?"
Qin Wanru never had much of a good impression of him in the first place.
And now, with Liu Zheng mocking him like this, Huang Mingze felt as though he had lost all face.
His expression turned even uglier, his eyes glaring at Liu Zheng with not just resentnt but a deep-seated fury borne of sha and anger.
However, he quickly laughed again and pointed at the food and drink on the table, saying, "Tsk tsk! The al you’re having today isn’t cheap. I wonder if you’re paying, or if Wan Ru is picking up the tab?"
