The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 88 Mo Jiaolan’s Troubles
Li Shiyun smiled, "I just arrived and heard about his car accident, combined with your relationship with Mo Jiaolan and Chen Yuhe, so I made some connections."
Ling Feng nodded, "You’re really amazing, and quite accurate too."
Seeing her indifferent expression, feeling like she had changed into a different person since her return, Ling Feng couldn’t help but continue asking, "What’s wrong with you? Why do you seem so strange?"
"Is that so?"
Li Shiyun glanced at him and shook her head, "You’re overthinking it, I’m fine!"
"Oh."
The room fell silent, both of them having things they wanted to say but not knowing where to start in the moment.
Even though it was late into the night, Li Shiyun didn’t mention going to sleep, and Ling Feng didn’t want to get up and go back to his room either.
They just sat in silence for a while before Li Shiyun suddenly spoke out, "The matter with Chen Gang isn’t simple, it wasn’t an accident, someone did it on purpose!"
"Really? How do you know?" Ling Feng asked.
"I’ve only heard about it too, it should be the work of a competitive partner. Don’t look at him as the richest man in Hua County, but it’s not as easy as others imagine, he’s under a lot of pressure too!" Li Shiyun said.
Ling Feng nodded, "Funny enough, he actually wants to arrange his daughter’s marriage and marry Chen Yuhe to a coal mine owner!"
"That’s normal, no matter how close a business relationship is, it’s not as solid as becoming relatives. That’s something from ancient times, right? Alliances through marriage, intermarriages and such." Li Shiyun said nonchalantly.
After listening, Ling Feng was speechless and sighed, "It seems like being born into a wealthy family isn’t all that great after all; there are times when you aren’t in control of your own fate!"
"Of course, I also..."
Li Shiyun’s words were only half-spoken when she suddenly shut up and chose not to continue.
Seeing Ling Feng looking at her with a puzzled expression, she smiled and changed the subject, "And about Mo Jiaolan, I only heard about her situation after I returned home. Do you know what kind of difficulties she’s facing?"
Ling Feng sat up straight upon hearing this, "What happened? I’ve been wanting to ask, but she won’t tell, and Chen Yuhe didn’t tell me either!"
"I heard that she promised the old master of the Mo Family that within a year she would achieve a sales target of fifty million for Junlin Hotel. If she fails, she will follow the family’s arrangement and marry a rich heir from the provincial city." Li Shiyun explained.
Ling Feng’s eyes widened in surprise, "Fifty million!"
"That’s right, it’s an impossible task. A small county, how could it possibly reach such a high sales volume?" Li Shiyun nodded in agreement. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"No wonder, ever since I first saw her, I noticed that she seemed depressed, as if she was troubled by something. One time, after taking a phone call, she drank a lot of alcohol and got completely drunk!" Ling Feng finally understood!
Li Shiyun let out a small sigh, "That must be because of this matter. It’s said that the deadline is fast approaching, less than three months away I believe?"
After hearing this, Ling Feng stared at her in astonishment, "You know about this too?"
"Yes," Li Shiyun nodded.
She didn’t want to speak further, but Ling Feng’s curiosity got the better of him. So he asked, "How do you know about this? Can you tell me?"
"Telling you doesn’t matter, you would find out sooner or later anyway," Li Shiyun nodded, "It’s the power of my family. The Li Family still holds some sway in Donghua Province, we have contacts with various prominent families, so we’re well-informed."
Ling Feng was taken aback, thinking to himself, so that was it; he had guessed that her background wasn’t humble, and now it seemed her status was even higher than he’d imagined!
But then another thought struck him, he couldn’t help asking, "You’re so concerned about the Chen family and the Mo Family, it’s not because of me, is it?"
Li Shiyun was startled, and then her face bloomed with a blush as she glared at him, "Because of you? Don’t flatter yourself!"
Ling Feng chuckled, her face already betrayed herself; denial was pointless!
He felt delighted inside and didn’t want to dwell on the topic anymore, so he asked, "Are you going back to Shiliu Village tomorrow morning? Do you want to wait for me and we can take Mo Jiaolan’s car back together?"
"No need, I’ll just take the early bus back. How have you been these past few days?" Li Shiyun inquired.
Ling Feng didn’t answer; instead, he purposely held back information, "Wait until you get back, and you’ll see, there will be a surprise waiting!"
"Really? But I’m not that interested," Li Shiyun said, curling her lips.
The room fell silent once more. After a while, Ling Feng stood up and said, "It’s getting late; I won’t keep you from resting anymore."
"Alright then, we’ll talk after I get back to the village," Li Shiyun also stood up.
The two stood facing each other in silence for a moment before Ling Feng had no choice but to turn and leave.
A lone man and a single woman in a room, and the other person seemingly having some interest in him, he actually wanted to try and stay longer. However, facing Li Shiyun, he couldn’t act carefree and playful as he did with Wang Yan, so he had to drop the idea.
At the doorway, Ling Feng turned, smiled, and said, "Rest well."
"You too."
The door closed slowly. Ling Feng looked back for a few seconds before turning and going back to his own room.
The next morning, after getting up, he went out and saw that the door opposite was open with cleaning staff at work inside, evidently Li Shiyun had already left.
Feeling a hint of disappointment, he went downstairs to the lobby where Mo Jiaolan was already waiting.
The two completed the check-out process and then prepared to visit the hospital.
Just then, Chen Yuhe called Ling Feng and said, "Don’t come to the hospital, that Mr. Gu is practically going insane!"
"What? What happened?"
Ling Feng was taken aback.
"My dad waking up yesterday already shocked them, but today, all his fractures in his legs and body healed, which stunned them even more. They’ve been asking me repeatedly where you are and how to contact you; I’ve turned them down every time!"
Chen Yuhe paused, lowering her voice, "Now Mr. Gu has people pacing back and forth outside the ward, it looks like they’re waiting for you to show up!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile, "Alright, I got it. Since your dad is fine, I won’t come up. I’ll head back to Shiliu Village first."
"Yeah, you go back first, and we can meet up at my place once my dad is discharged from the hospital," Chen Yuhe suggested.
Ling Feng knew the thing he had done this time was too astonishing; Mr. Gu was looking for him probably to find out what methods he used to heal Chen Gang’s illness so quickly.
But he simply couldn’t explain it. Even if he did, no one would believe him, so it was better just to avoid seeing Mr. Gu at all!
As he got into Mo Jiaolan’s car to return to the village, Ling Feng remembered something he hadn’t done and took out his phone to call the old pharmacist from the previous night.
"The matter I promised to take care of has been handled. The person is in the orthopedic ward of Central Hospital. When you arrive, just mention my name and you’ll be allowed to see the patient," Ling Feng said.
"Okay, but aren’t you there?" The old man asked.
"I am busy with some other things, so I’ve already left," Ling Feng replied; after thinking it over, he added, "If anyone asks about the prescription or my contact information, please keep it confidential for me."
The old man on the other end readily agreed, "Don’t worry, I just wanted to satisfy my own curiosity. I won’t tell anyone any information about you!"
