Chapter 377: Old Shop

Wang Yao had already mastered the way of handling it with these knowledge, but he had only tried a very small part of it. Most of it had not been practiced. Such an opportunity to practice and visit was very hard to come by. Therefore, he had a very detailed look.

Not only did he look at it, but he also asked questions. However, the answers given by the skilled workers had a catch. They did not reveal some of the important things. They just went over it ambiguously.

Wang Yao did not mind. He just smiled.

He still learned a lot that afternoon. It was one thing for him to have the knowledge. It was another thing to manufacture it with his own hands. But it was entirely different to see other people manufacturing it.

After coming out of Tongren Hall, Wang Yao said with a smile, “Not bad. It’s pretty good.”

“Tongren Hall is not the only old shop in Jing City. If you’re willing, I can contact other medicine shops.”

“It’s okay.” Wang Yao waved his hand with a smile.

He had sees things that could be seen in that shop. He would not be able to see things that should not be seen, no matter how many shops he went.

…

In the Su family’s house.

Song Ruiping was very perturbed. She watched as the medical staff who had been taking care of her daughter for several years removed the gauze on her daughter’s face.

She was stunned.

Although she had already thought about it and this was not the first time that her dressing was changed, she still could not believe her own eyes. Then, she cried.

This was because she saw her daughter’s face as it looked like a few years ago.

“Xiaoxue, have a look.”

She stood in front of her daughter with a mirror.

Su Xiaoxue was stunned. She shed tears of joy.

When she first suffered from this illness, she did not dare to look at her face. Her mother would not let her see her face too. Her mother was afraid that she would have any negative thoughts. She was completely disfigured due to the illness. Her once flower-like face turned into a face that was even scarier than a ghost.

Now, the beautiful face was back. She was even prettier. Perhaps God could not bear it.

It was as if she broke the cocoon and became a butterfly. It was a gorgeous transformation.

Just as the mother and daughter were elated, the maid came upstairs and said, “Madam, Mr. Guo is here.”

“Let him in,” Song Ruiping answered after hesitating for a while.

After that, she went downstairs. Guo Zhenghe was drinking tea in the living room.

“Aunty.”

“Zhenghe is here.” Song Ruiping was in a very good mood, maybe because her daughter’s appearance had been restored to its original state. Her face was full of heartfelt smiles even when she was talking.

“Yes!” Of course, a scrupulous person like Guo Zhenghe perceived the change in Song Ruiping.

“Aunty, is Xiaoxue feeling better?”

“Yes. She’s much better. It’s all thanks to the treatment given to her by Dr. Wang in the past few days.”

Song Ruiping was very appreciative and grateful towards Wang Yao.

“That’s good then. May I go upstairs and see her?”

“Umm, she has just fallen asleep,” Song Ruiping unexpectedly rejected Guo Zhenghe.

“Oh. Forget it then.”

“Zhenghe, didn’t you already go to the place? How’s work in town?”

“It’s all right. It’s a poverty-stricken county, not to mention the villages and towns. They’re typically poor and deserted. I’m specifically here to launder money,” Guo Zhenghe replied. “I’m walking through the back door.”

He did not evade these situations at all and directly revealed all of them. After all, they were all bureaucrats. He might as well say these things openly.

“Oh. Is it going well?”

“Fortunately, it’s going well. At least the funds to repair a road is clean,” Guo Zhenghe replied with a smile.

“Work hard there. Don’t be unworthy of the high hopes your family has for you.”

“Okay.”

Guo Zhenghe stayed there for about five minutes longer. Then, he got up and left.

“Aunty, you don’t have to bother to see me out. Please send my regards to Xiaoxue.”

“Goodbye.”

After getting up and walking for a few steps, Song Ruiping stopped. After all, Guo Zhenghe was of the younger generation.

The butler who went out came back and said, “Madam, he left.”

“Alright.”

Song Ruiping turned around and went upstairs. At that moment, her daughter really had fallen asleep. A smile was hanging in the corner of her lips.

Xiaoxue, I only hope that you can live a healthy life. As for the other things, we’ll put them aside for the time being…

She knew about the conversation her father-in-law had with the old man of the Guo family. However, her impression towards the young man, Guo Zhenghe, was only average. In fact, Guo Zhenghe’s behavior in the past was impeccable because he had thought about a lot of things in advance every time he came. This was because he showed his most perfect side in his life in front of everyone. However, Song Ruiping was not an ordinary person. She had a very sharp pair of eyes in judging people. Moreover, she also had a special feeling as a woman and as a mother.

If possible, my daughter should marry an honest man and live the rest of her life in peace. This was her biggest wish as a mother.

…

Wang Yao had already returned to the courtyard. Sitting on the stool, he looked at the gods in the sky.

In the room, Chen Ying was practicing the improved breathing method which Wang Yao taught her.

Time passed slowly. Soon, the sky darkened.

Another day has ended.

Wang Yao inhaled slowly and broke away from the artistic conception in which he communicated with the heaven and earth.

Jingle jangle cling-clang. Chen Ying had already started to get busy in the kitchen. After a while, the aroma of the dishes drifted out from the kitchen.

Looking at the moon that had risen, Wang Yao secretly thought to himself, There’s still some ointment left. Su Xiaoxue’s condition has also improved fundamentally. It’s time to go back.

“Sir, dinner is ready.”

“Okay.”

No. I can’t go back yet. There’s still her brother.

Wang Yao was totally clueless about Chen Zhou’s strange illness. He could treat the distortion of the meridians, but there was no regular pattern to it. He would fall ill again after the meridians had been corrected. For the time being, Wang Yao did not have any way to treat it.

What’s the cause?

He had been thinking about this in the past few days.

During dinner, Chen Ying realized Wang Yao’s abnormal state and asked softly, “What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking about your brother’s illness,” Wang Yao replied bluntly.

“Have you thought of a way to help him?”

“I haven’t for the time being.”

Ring, buzz. His phone rang as he was eating. Tong Wei was the person who called.

“Hello, Tong Wei.”

“What are you doing?”

“Oh. I’m having dinner.”

“I’m in Jing City,” Tong Wei who was on the other end of the phone said with a smile.

“What?!” Wang Yao was stunned. “Where are you? When did you arrive?”

“I just got off the plane. I’m at the airport.”

“Wait for a while. I’ll pick you up immediately.”

“It’s okay. I came with my colleagues to attend a meeting,” Tong Wei replied.

“No. I want to see you.”

“Okay. I’ll wait for you.”

“Sorry to trouble you. Can we go to the airport please?” Wang Yao asked Chen Ying with a smile.

“Okay.”

Chen Ying did not ask why and directly went out to start the car.

At this hour, there were still many cars in Jing City. There was still a certain distance between their location and the airport in Jing City. It took them more than an hour to arrive at the airport.

At the airport, Wang Yao saw a slender figure. A gracefully slender beauty wearing a slimming trench coat was standing there. She smiled and waved at him after seeing him.

Huh?!

Chen Ying was startled upon seeing the lady.

She’s so beautiful!

This was her first perception.

Wang Yao walked towards Tong Wei. Both of them gazed at each other.

“I missed you!”

“Me too!”

He hugged Tong Wei.

She’s his girlfriend! Upon seeing the scene, Chen Ying felt disappointed and heartbroken for no reason.

Tong Wei’s colleagues had already gone to the hotel.

“Where are you staying?”

“I’m staying with my colleagues. A hotel room has been booked,” Tong Wei replied with a smile.

“Why don’t you go to the place where I’m staying at temporarily? There are still rooms available.” The “small” courtyard was not that small at all. There were indeed a few rooms that were available inside.

“Sure.”

After that, Tong Wei met Chen Ying. She could not help but take a few more glances at Chen Ying. She was a beauty who was not of the average kind. She looked valiant and heroic.

“Let me introduce you two. Tong Wei is my girlfriend. Chen Ying is a friend whom I’ve met in Jing City. She’s a very nice person.”

“Hello.”

“Hello.”

“Tong Wei may be staying in Jing City for a few days. Can she stay in the small courtyard?”

“No problem,” Chen Ying responded.

The small courtyard was originally a gift from the Su family to Wang Yao, but Wang Yao had been reluctant to accept it until now.

“Let’s go.”

After getting into the car, Tong Wei called her colleague. Then, they arrived at the small courtyard where Wang Yao was staying.

This?! Looking at the quaint small courtyard, she was very surprised.

Where was this? It was Jing City, a place where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold.
