“It was you, wasn’t it?” Zhang Cuihua doted on her son.
Li Se scoffed, “Where’s your proof that it was me?”
Zhang Cuihua’s expression flickered, as Li Se was still at a distance from Zhang Tiezhu, and hadn't even touched him throughout. Yet, she was certain Li Se was behind it.
“If anything happens to my son, I’ll deal with you!” Zhang Cuihua said fiercely. She didn’t care who Li Se knew; if her son had any problems, she would never let Li Se off the hook.
“Prepare the three hundred thousand yuan for me quickly, otherwise your son will never recover.”
After saying this, Li Se turned to Wei San. “Old Wei, the matter is handled. Let’s go.”
Wei San nodded.
The group quickly departed.
Zhang Yunyun grabbed Chen Dakang’s arm. “Dakang, quickly think of a way. Tiezhu can’t have any problems.”
Chen Dakang had already distanced himself from Zhang Yunyun, stating coldly, “What’s it to me? Return the three hundred thousand yuan to them promptly. What kind of people are they? They refuse to get married but keep the three hundred thousand yuan. Have they no shame?”
Zhang Yunyun and Zhang Cuihua flushed red.
The surrounding crowd finally understood the situation.
“So they took the three hundred thousand yuan betrothal gift, but now they’re not getting married and won’t return the money. Truly shameless.”
“They made me misunderstand just now. This family is truly bad.”
“People like this are bloodsuckers, parasites!”
“…”
Everyone began to point fingers at Zhang Yunyun’s family.
Zhang Yunyun, ignoring the gossip, grabbed Chen Dakang’s arm. “Dakang, that three hundred thousand yuan… Tiezhu took it to start a business…”
Before she could finish, Chen Dakang interrupted her. “With that blockhead’s brains, starting a business? He should just work in a factory screwing bolts. Damn it, stop the nonsense and get the three hundred thousand yuan ready!”
Chen Dakang had transformed into a debt collector, and his words were extremely effective, striking fear into Zhang Yunyun’s family.
“Alright, stop the nonsense. Get out!” Captain Liao issued the eviction notice.
Chen Dakang lingered no longer, leaving Zhang Yunyun’s family behind and departing alone.
Zhang Yunyun and Zhang Cuihua had no choice but to carry the dragging Zhang Tiezhu away. Along the way, they attracted countless disdainful glances, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.
In the private room.
“Doctor Li, with a single word from you, I can resolve all these troubles for you,” Wei San said nonchalantly.
With his capabilities, dealing with Chen Dakang and Zhang Yunyun’s family was indeed a matter of a single word.
“No need, I’ll handle it myself,” Li Se replied, shaking his head.
After eating and drinking their fill, Li Se bid farewell. He needed to return to the hospital quickly. In his haste, a red car seemed to have lost control.
Screech!
Bang!
The red car collided directly with him. Li Se couldn’t dodge in time and was sent flying a long distance. Fortunately, he had his internal energy to protect him, or the impact would have cost him half his life.
“Are you alright?”
A pleasant and somewhat anxious voice rang out.
Li Se looked up. Before him stood a typical Jiangnan beauty, with a delicate oval face, eyes as pure as water, a well-defined nose, and a small cherry-like mouth.
Beautiful, truly beautiful.
“Let me take you to the hospital,” Xia Shuyu said worriedly.
Li Se shook his head. “No need, I can get there myself.”
“No, I must take you!” Xia Shuyu couldn’t just leave him like this. That collision had sent him flying, but she found it strange that he wasn’t bleeding.
Li Se didn’t say any more and got into Xia Shuyu’s car to head to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Li Se intended to have Xia Shuyu leave. However, the woman insisted on taking him for a check-up. Reluctantly, he agreed.
After confirming he was fine, Xia Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Your body is really good. To be hit like that and have no issues, you’re truly strong.”
Upon hearing this, Li Se felt something was amiss.
Xia Shuyu also realized her words might have been ambiguous, and her pretty face turned red. She quickly explained, “I didn’t mean it like that. I meant your body is great, very healthy.”
“I didn’t misunderstand anything else either,” Li Se replied awkwardly.
Returning to his mother’s side, Li Se paid off the hospital bills, got his mother a room, and brewed some traditional Chinese medicine for her to drink.
“You can also treat illnesses?” Xia Shuyu asked, surprised.
Li Se looked at Xia Shuyu in surprise. “You haven’t left yet?”
“I was still worried,” Xia Shuyu said, still concerned. Although the examination showed no issues, she worried about internal injuries.
Li Se understood her concern and smiled. “Don’t worry, I am a doctor myself. When I say it’s alright, it’s alright. Besides, didn’t we just have it checked?”
Chen Xiulian was in much better condition now. She looked at the beautiful girl beside her son with some curiosity and asked, “Son, who is this?”
“Hello, Auntie. My name is Xia Shuyu,” Xia Shuyu introduced herself politely to Chen Xiulian.
Seeing how beautiful Xia Shuyu was, Chen Xiulian couldn’t help but praise her son. “Yes, my son’s medical skills are excellent. He cured me of an illness the hospital couldn’t.”
“That impressive?” Xia Shuyu sounded somewhat astonished.
“Give me your hand,” Li Se beckoned.
“You’re not trying to take advantage of me, are you?” Xia Shuyu frowned.
Li Se was almost amused. “I’m taking your pulse.”
Xia Shuyu then extended her fair hand.
After taking her pulse for a dozen seconds, Li Se made a diagnosis. “You’ve been experiencing bloating, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and irregular bowel movements recently?”
“Yes, how did you know?” Xia Shuyu asked, surprised.
“I told you, I’m a doctor,” Li Se smiled faintly and wrote out a prescription. “You have indigestion. Get the medicine according to this prescription, and you’ll recover in three days.”
“Okay!” Xia Shuyu no longer doubted him.
After a moment of hesitation, she said to Li Se, “Um, could you come with me to see a patient?”
“Sure!” Li Se agreed readily, mainly because Xia Shuyu was genuinely kind, and he had a good impression of her.
“Shall we leave now?” Xia Shuyu asked.
Li Se nodded. His mother’s condition was no longer a major concern.
The two left the hospital together, with Li Se getting into the passenger seat of Xia Shuyu’s car.
Xia Shuyu was wearing a cartoon t-shirt and a light green skirt. Her fair, flawless legs exuded extreme allure.
For a moment, Li Se found it hard to look away, involuntarily swallowing. He then struggled to shift his gaze.
“Do I look good?” Seeing Li Se’s shy expression, Xia Shuyu couldn’t resist teasing him.
