"Good, good! I'll call him right now and have him come over." Guan Xuemin nodded. Wei Zhao was right — examining a patient was always more intuitive than reading a case file. Having Wei Zhao consult on Old Master Liu's condition would be far better than studying it alone.
"Oh? The patient is nearby?" Wei Zhao asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, he lives right in this residential compound. Only a few minutes' drive — very quick..." With that, Guan Xuemin picked up the telephone on his desk and dialed a number.
In the family housing compound of Songshan Medical and Pharmaceutical University, inside a luxurious villa every bit the equal of Guan Xuemin's residence, a young man in his twenties was speaking indignantly to a middle-aged woman.
"Auntie, the way Sun Jingyan has behaved is a complete slap in the face to our Wu family! We Wu are, after all, a martial arts clan, one of the four great *** families. What is the Sun family? Nothing but an upstart clan. My going to propose was already a great honor to them, yet the old man of the Sun family doesn't know how to appreciate it — he says he doesn't want to meddle in young people's affairs and tells me to go earn it myself!" The speaker was Wu Chengtian, the most promising young man of the Wu family's younger generation, known as the "Little Wu Iron Hand."
"The Sun family's business has expanded aggressively these past years, and they have considerable connections in political circles. An upstart clan they may be, but they've already earned enough standing to rival the other old established families!" Liu Tianyi shot his nephew a glare.
"But Sun Jingyan and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts — she's gone too far! She secretly found herself a boyfriend and made a public fool of me!" Wu Chengtian said resentfully. "If not for him, how would I have lost my wallet? How would I have been made a laughingstock?"
"All right, all right! Xiaotian, your auntie will help you!" Wu Huiru spoke up. "In any case, your uncle's father still needs to recuperate here for some time. Your auntie will set up a company for you, and we'll show that Sun girl just what the men of the Wu family are capable of!"
"Thank you, Auntie..." Wu Chengtian was overjoyed. He had been at a loss in this unfamiliar city, but now with his auntie's help, he was determined to build a career and show Sun Jingyan just how extraordinary he was!
"Ring..." The telephone in the living room rang.
"Who could be calling at this hour? Tianyi, didn't I say to unplug the phone line at night? What if it disturbs Father's rest?" Wu Huiru complained upon hearing the ring.
"Unplug it? What if there's an emergency?" Liu Tianyi glared at Wu Huiru.
"What emergency could there be? This landline was already in the villa before — it must be a wrong number looking for the previous owner!" Wu Huiru curled her lip. "Anyone who knows us would call our cell phones!"
"Yes, Uncle, Auntie has a point. Just ignore it." Wu Chengtian had been happily discussing things with his auntie, about to delve further into how to win Sun Jingyan's heart once the company was established, when this blasted ringing interrupted them.
Liu Tianyi frowned, ignored his wife and nephew, and picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Liu Tianyi."
"Tianyi? This is Guan Xuemin. Bring your father over now. I've invited a specialist to consult on your father's condition and see whether there's any possibility of a cure." Guan Xuemin's voice came through the line.
"Yes, yes! Elder Guan, I'll bring my father over to visit right away! Thank you!" Hearing Guan Xuemin's words, Liu Tianyi nodded and thanked him repeatedly. That Guan Xuemin took his father's matter so much to heart filled Liu Tianyi with gratitude.
