Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After receiving a call from Xia Wan, Chen MO learned that she planned to take a break from school for a while, so he decided to visit her to find out what was going on.
Just as Chen MO was about to open his car door, he heard someone calling him.
“Chen MO, the old leader wants to see you!” Zhang Cheng approached hurriedly from not far away, his face showing a bit of urgency.
“Brother Cheng, who’s looking for me? What’s the matter?” Chen MO stopped and looked towards Zhang Cheng.
Chen MO was not sure who the old leader mentioned by Zhang Cheng was, but judging by the way Zhang referred to him, it must be a leader from the military district.
But, what would someone from the military district want with him?
“Don’t ask so many questions! The old leader is waiting for you!” said Zhang Cheng, pulling Chen MO towards his car.
“But, Brother Cheng, I have things to do!” Chen MO protested, but Zhang Cheng pushed him into the car anyway.
“Nothing is more important than this!” Zhang Cheng said as he got into the pa.s.senger seat and instructed the driver to start the car.
The car sped along, pa.s.sing by Dongxing Pavilion, which was crowded with people outside.
Chen MO looked out curiously, but the car was moving too fast for him to see what was happening.
The car stopped a couple of streets away from Dongxing Pavilion, in front of a guesthouse. Zhang Cheng got out and motioned for Chen MO to follow.
Chen MO followed Zhang Cheng, running to the third floor of the guesthouse, where they stopped outside a room.
“The old leader is waiting for you, go in!” Zhang Cheng said, knocking three times on the door.
Sounds came from inside the room, and soon the door opened from inside.
Seeing the person in the room, Chen MO was startled for a moment: “Uncle Liang?”
It was Liang Tao.
“Chen MO, long time no see! Come in!” Liang Tao said, leading Chen MO and Zhang Cheng inside.
“Uncle Liang, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? My dad would scold me if he knew I didn’t host you well!” Chen MO said with a hint of dissatisfaction. Liang Tao chuckled, “I thought I’d take a good rest this time, so I didn’t tell “But why did you come here instead of staying in Beijing? Did you discover some new business opportunity?”
Liang Tao looked at Chen MO with affection and spoke softly.
“My girlfriend lives here, and I also have some business to take care of, so I spend most of my time here,” Chen MO honestly replied.
“Oh? A girlfriend? When will you bring her to meet me?” Liang Tao asked teasingly, “I heard from Zhang Cheng that she’s a miracle doctor?” Chen MO glanced towards Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng nodded and said, “It wasn’t me who mentioned Xia Wan’s treatment of Shi Yu. I just revealed that she and you are acquainted.” Hearing this, Liang Tao laughed, “You young people sure have many secrets!”
“Since the girl has such talent, why not bring her to meet me?” Liang Tao suggested, his gaze becoming more serious, “Perhaps she…”
Chen MO immediately refused, “Xia Wan is still a student. Let’s talk about these things after she completes her studies.”
Seeing Chen Mo’s firm refusal, Liang Tao did not press further, “Then, when you’re free, invite her for a meal. I’d also like to meet this little miracle doctor Zhang Cheng talks about.”
Chen MO wanted to refuse, but he saw Zhang Cheng shaking his head at him.
Chen MO knew that if he refused Liang Tao again, it would upset him.
“Okay! I’ll arrange it!” Chen MO nodded, already thinking about how to delay the matter.
Xia Wan was facing many issues lately, including the need to take a break from school, leaving her no time for such a meal.
Seeing Chen Mo’s distracted look, Liang Tao waved his hand, “Alright, you seem to have plans with that girl. Go ahead!”
“And give my regards to your father. Let’s have a meal together when you’re free!”
Chen MO agreed and stood up to say goodbye and leave.
After leaving the guesthouse, Chen MO called Xia Wan, “Wanwan, where are you now?”
“I’m at the military hospital. Shi Yu was moved to a regular ward today, so I came to see him,” Xia Wan replied briefly.
Frowning slightly, Chen MO took the car Zhang Cheng left for him and asked the driver to take him home. Then he drove to find Xia Wan.
“What’s the rush?” Xia Wan asked as she stood at the hospital entrance, noticing Chen Mo’s tired expression..
