Chapter 303 - Little Miracle Doctor
Beauty and the Bodyguard
âThat wonât help.â Lin Yi waved his hand, not looking at the log Xuemin was handing him. âIf heâs Grandpa Guanâs patient then Iâll just take a look with you.â
âSounds good! Iâll give him a call and ask him over right now.â Xuemin nodded- what Lin Yi said was true. Having Lin Yi treat Elder Liu would be much more effective.
âOh? Is the patient nearby?â Lin Yi was a bit surprised.
âThatâs right. Heâs in the area, a few minutesâ time away. It wonât take longâ¦â Xuemin said as he reached for his phone.
âAunt, Sun Jingyiâs too much! Is the Wu family of no concern to her whatsoever? We Wus are a Wulin family, part of the four big houses! What are the Suns? Itâs a great enough honor as it is for me to propose a marriage with a house as new as the Suns, yet..! That old man of the Sun family just goes and says that he doesnât want to involve himself with the affairs of young people! He told me to work on it myself!â Wu Chentian, the most promising member of the Wu family, said. He was known as Lilâ Wu of the Iron Fists.
âTheir business is really flourishing these days, and they have their connections in the political world- theyâre new, yes, but very qualified to be on the same level as other ancient houses!â Liu Tianyi eyed his nephew.
âBut Jingyi and I are childhood friends! And there she goes finding herself a boyfriend in secret, sheâs gone too far! I even embarrassed myself because of her!â Chentian complained. âWould I have lost my wallet if it werenât for her? I got looked down on because of that!!â
âOkay, okay! Tian, Iâll help you out!â Wu Huiru spoke up. âYour uncleâs father still needs to stay here for a while for his treatments, so Iâll help you start a company for that Sun girl to see what Wu men are made of!â
âThanks, auntâ¦â¦â Chentian couldnât be happier at that response- heâd been worried how heâd get by in a new and unfamiliar city, but heâd be able to make a name for himself in the business world with his auntâs help! Heâd show that Sun Jingyi what he was made of!
The phone in the living room started ringing.
âWho is that this late? Tianyi, didnât I say to have the telephone wire unplugged at night? What if it disturbs dadâs rest?â Huiru complained upon hearing the ringing.
âUnplug it? What if something important comes up?â Tianyi eyed his wife.
âThere wonât be anything that important! The phoneâs permanently linked to the villa, the callerâs probably looking for the old owner!â Huiru pouted. âAny of our acquaintances would call our handphones!â
âYeah, uncle- auntâs right. Just ignore it.â Chentian didnât like how the ringing was interrupting his imminent business talk with his aunt.
Tianyi frowned, ignoring his wife and nephew as he picked the phone up. âHello- Iâm Liu Tianyi.â
âTianyi? Iâm Guan Xuemin- bring your father over, I have an expert with me here who can take a look at your father, see if thereâs any chance for a cure.â Xueminâs voice sounded from the other end.
âYes, thank you, Elder Guan! Iâll bring my father over right away!â Tianyi was very grateful how Xuemin had his fatherâs illness in mind.
The Lius were big shots among the other biggest houses, but that was because Old Liu Zhenhu was still alive. Theyâd most definitely drop down a level should Zhenhu pass away!
He hung the phone up and glared at his wife. âI almost let you ruin everything! Elder Guanâs invited an expert over for father- you think you couldâve taken responsibility if weâd missed this phone call?!â
âIâll bring dad down right away!â Huiru lowered her head and quickly went upstairs, not giving any retort. Tianyi was getting more and more manly recently, and she couldnât really mess around as much anymore.
âHmph! Be careful!â Tianyi called out.
âChentian, come and help out!â Huiru hinted to Chentian with a look- Old Elder Liu was a big shot, after all. Should he have a liking to Chentian, thereâd be no doubt that even the elder of the Suns would pay tribute if Zhenhu said something about the marriage.
Chentian, naturally, went upstairs with his aunt willingly.
Ten minutes later and Zhenhu was walking down the stairs with Chentian and Huiru helping him. Tianyi was in the car outside already, waiting for them.
Zhenhuâs sleepiness was washed away after hearing that an expert was there- he was filled with hope. After all, even an old man like him wanted to live for a few more years if he could.
He wasnât afraid of death, but he simply didnât want to leave his children and grandchildren just yet.
Aunt Liu opened the door for the Lius to enter the villa and living room, where Xuemin and Lin Yi were waiting. Lin Yi was visibly stunned upon sighting the patient Xuemin was talking about- it was Liu Zhenhu!
(Aunt Liu is Xueminâs maid, if you donât remember. Chinese people have very few surnames..)
Chentian was stunned as well, and as were Zhenhu and Tianyi, although for different reasons. Hope and excitement could be seen in their faces- Xuemin had managed to get Zhenhu this little miracle doctor! Was there hope for a cure after all?
Chentian wasnât looking too good- never would he have expected to meet Lin Yi here, sitting with Miracle Doctor Guan, no less!
He was about to say something when he thought better of it- this wasnât the Wu or Liu households, so he had no right to speak here. He could only glare at Lin Yi hatefully.
âLittle miracle doctor! I wasnât expecting to see you here!â Tianyi was getting a bit excited- he went over to shake Lin Yiâs hand right away! This boy was under Guan Xueminâs recommendation- it had been a huge mistake for them to have let the guy go without having him leave a contact number that day!
Lin Yi wasnât responding to the hand shake offer at all- that old man was alright, but that was about it in this family. Everyone else had left a bad impression on Lin Yi.
