234: Chapter 234: Just Get Married

After a full hour, Song Xiaodong finally finished administering the acupuncture.

By then, he was utterly exhausted and had to be helped into an adjacent room to rest by Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan.

In the next room, Ning Chongqing was checking on the elderly gentleman.

After a while, he couldn’t help shaking his head repeatedly.

“Professor Ning, how is it?” Ding Shanhuan asked anxiously.

Ning Chongqing said, “The old man’s heartbeat is strong.

I estimate he will wake up soon.

Song Shenzhen really lives up to his reputation.”

Ding Shanhuan imdiately burst with joy, but then felt sowhat depressed.

If things were so good, why was Professor Ning still shaking his head and sighing?

Little did he know that Ning Chongqing was in awe of Song Xiaodong’s formidable ability, while he himself practiced Western dicine and could not learn anything from watching Song Xiaodong perform acupuncture.

After a while, the old gentleman actually opened his eyes and even claid he was hungry and wanted to eat.

This was beyond exciting for all mbers of the Ding family—it had been days since the old gentleman had eaten anything.

In the living room, Ding Haixing’s face had turned as black as coal.

His leg was broken, and at this mont, not a single person was attending to him.

He was left to groan in pain, occasionally receiving scornful glances from passersby.

When Ding Shanhuan and the other Ding family mbers finally ca downstairs, Ding Haixing imdiately called out, “Dad, don’t let that charlatan deceive you.

He asks for a million a day—that guy is a big fraudster aiming to swindle our Ding family’s money.”

“You foolish child!” Ding Shanhuan raised his hand and smacked Ding Haixing across the face with a heavy slap.

“Dad, why are you hitting ?” Ding Haixing covered his face, a look of grief and indignation on his face.

“Are you still unwilling to accept it?

Let

ask you, if it weren’t for you stopping Hailong, Mr.

Song would have directly treated your grandfather’s illness without all these complications.

If you hadn’t spouted nonsense at that ti, we would have paid fifty thousand a day.

But now, because of your careless words, our Ding family has to pay double that amount.

And you still don’t recognize your mistake, continuing to ramble nonsense here.”

Ding Haixing stamred, “What?

Dad, please don’t tell —that guy really managed to save Grandpa?”

“Nonsense, your grandfather has already started to eat.

What do you think, saved or not?”

Ding Haixing’s face turned dark in an instant, and then he noticed that all the Ding family mbers were looking at him with great annoyance.

“I…

I didn’t know he was this…

Divine Doctor.

Who would have thought…

It wasn’t intentional.”

Ding Haixing wanted to explain further, but the anger in everyone’s eyes did not dissipate.

Ding Shanhuan snorted coldly and said, “This ti you almost destroyed our Ding family.

This is unforgivable.

So starting today, you’re not allowed to step outside the Ding family’s gate for a year.”

“Ah!

Better to just let

die, then.”

“Then go die!” Ding Shanhuan was nearly out of his wits with frustration.

He had already been lenient with Ding Haixing, who still failed to realize it.

He had ambitions for his life, and yet how did he end up with such a useless son?

Although Ding Haixing was resentful in his heart, his father’s attitude and the looks from others finally made him realize that if he talked any more, he might truly provoke a public outrage.

So, he wisely fell silent.

“So he doesn’t easily treat people for a reason—it’s really hard on him.” Watching Song Xiaodong, who was lying on the bed nearly drained of all strength, Miao Qingqing murmured softly.

“What did you expect?” Miao Xuanxuan imdiately said.

“Xiaodong is not a bad person.

Didn’t you see him stopping to help the sanitation workers on the road?

It’s just that his thod of healing is too draining, which is why he doesn’t readily intervene.”

“You seem to know quite a bit.” Miao Qingqing looked at Miao Xuanxuan.

Miao Xuanxuan tried to appear confident in front of her sister but soon puffed out her chest and said, “Of course, I know.

That ti when I went to Dongzi’s place, I saw one of his patients, so I knew.”

“Oh…” Miao Qingqing didn’t suspect a thing and said, “I was really thoughtless this ti, but I also truly realized that he’s indeed very talented, and I’ve co to see him in a new light.”

Miao Xuanxuan blinked and said with a grin, “Did you fall in love at first sight and then want to devote yourself to him?”

Miao Qingqing gave Miao Xuanxuan a blank look and said, “I haven’t thought about getting a boyfriend so soon.

I have so much work right now.

But you’re free all day, you could consider it, huh?

If you were with him, it would be a great help to our family too.”

Miao Xuanxuan rolled her eyes and said, “Hey, Miao Qingqing, can’t you be less pragmatic?

How can you associate love with interests?

Isn’t that annoying?”

“I’m just speaking practically.

Even in love, you have to consider various conditions and think comprehensively.

Honestly, I feel you two would be quite a good match, and you could get along with him.

If I were with him, I’m afraid we’d be incompatible and fight every day.”

“Ha!

You wish.

Do you really think Dongzi would fancy you?”

Miao Qingqing laughed and said, “The sa goes for you, doesn’t it?

After all, you’re also a mber of our family.”

Miao Xuanxuan pouted, looking at Song Xiaodong lying on the bed, and thought to herself that she was also reluctant to date Song Xiaodong, especially since he said he couldn’t date for the next two years—who knew what he was up to.

“Hey, are you smitten?” Miao Qingqing tapped Miao Xuanxuan on the shoulder.

Miao Xuanxuan lifted her chin and said, “Pfft!

Don’t project onto .

You two are renting rooms and doing this and that, and dad is now forcing you two to be together, so just obediently accept it.”

Miao Qingqing spoke indifferently, “If you want

to accept it, that’s fine.

From now on, I’ll stay at ho to attend to husband and children, and you can manage the company.”

Miao Xuanxuan snorted and said, “Hey, Miao Qingqing, aren’t you setting

up?

I don’t want to manage so lousy company.

Marry or not, it’s up to you.

Don’t think that just because you want to marry soone, they’d be willing to take you.”

“If he’s not willing to marry , then he’ll marry you.”

At that mont, Song Xiaodong opened his eyes, and Miao Xuanxuan imdiately asked him, “Hey, Dongzi, tell us, which one of us would you marry?”

Song Xiaodong had been too tired before and was oblivious to the outside world.

Suddenly hearing Miao Xuanxuan ask this, he was sowhat bewildered.

“Yeah, tell us who you want to marry?” Miao Qingqing also curiously asked at this point.

Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Qingqing, then at Miao Xuanxuan, and then suddenly winked and said, “What’s the difference in marrying either?”

“What do you an?” both asked in unison.

“I an, you two look so alike, how would I know who I’m marrying when the ti cos?

I’d definitely mix you up now and then, so…

might as well marry both of you.”

“Go to hell!”
