“What’s wrong?” Dong Qingxue asked, puzzled. How could the matter involve her daughter?
Upon hearing her aunt mention her, Xiao Feifei knew what was coming, but she didn’t care, acting as if nothing had happened.
“Sister-in-law, Feifei is in a relationship!” Wen Wanyun said in an exaggerated tone. “How can this be? And with a man who has no ability? Sister-in-law, let me tell you, as her aunt, I absolutely disagree with this. Look at Shao Zhiguo, whom I introduced to Feifei! He’s young and promising. Although he can’t compare to the Xiao family, he’s from a prominent family in our hometown. Now that he’s developing in the capital, he’s doing very well. Only a man like him is worthy of Feifei.”
When they heard that Xiao Feifei was in a relationship, everyone in the Xiao family was taken aback. As for Wen Wanyun’s latter half, they completely ignored it.
“Feifei, you’re in a relationship, and you didn’t mention it? Which young man is it?” Dong Qingxue asked with great interest.
“Feifei, who is it exactly?” Xiao Tian also asked curiously. Isn’t it Li Se?
“Oh, my granddaughter is in love?” Xiao Zhanguo rushed out, looking confused, expectant, and happy.
Xiao Feifei said, “Just ask my aunt. Anyway, she strongly opposes it.”
“Wanyun, do you know which young man it is?” Xiao Tian quickly asked.
Wen Wanyun thought for a moment and said, “It seems to be that Li Se. He’s not worthy of Feifei at all. Just by looking at his attire, I feel he’s not good enough. If Feifei marries him in the future, won’t she have to suffer?”
“Haha, granddaughter, you have good taste!” Xiao Zhanguo burst into laughter.
“If it’s Doctor Li, then it’s not surprising. But is the development a bit too fast?” Xiao Tian hesitated.
“Not fast, not fast, I like this pace of development!” Xiao Zhanguo laughed heartily.
Wen Wanyun was stunned. What was going on? According to her expectations, the Xiao family should have been furious, but why was everyone so happy?
“Cousin, what’s going on? Feifei found such a man, and you’re happy?” Wen Wanyun was confused. How could such a situation occur?
Dong Qingxue smiled and said, “As long as Feifei likes him, it’s fine. Our Xiao family doesn’t need to arrange a marriage. Didn’t I also marry into the Xiao family from an ordinary family? I think the most important thing is that the child likes him.”
“Cousin, how can that be? If Feifei marries him, she’ll have to suffer,” Wen Wanyun quickly said.
“How could that be? Little Li is a good person, and our Xiao family is so wealthy, how could we let Feifei suffer?” Dong Qingxue smiled.
Wen Wanyun wanted to say more but was stopped by Xiao Tian. “Wanyun, I understand what you’re thinking. Feifei is my daughter, the princess of my Xiao family. I will not allow her marriage to be used for profit. I hope you won’t mention this matter again in the future!”
Wen Wanyun was extremely dejected and could only nod. The Xiao family wasn’t playing by the usual rules.
Xiao Zhanguo couldn’t be bothered with Wen Wanyun. He looked at Xiao Feifei and smiled, “Uh, Feifei, when will you bring Doctor Li back for a meal?”
Xiao Feifei blushed slightly, “Grandpa, it’s too early. I’m still testing him. Besides, this guy isn’t just a little bit of a playboy. We’ll see.”
She managed to brush it off. After all, they were just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, so she couldn’t really have Li Se visit the Xiao family as a son-in-law.
The next day, Li Se went to the Lin family, primarily to follow up on Mr. Lin’s condition. It had been some time since his last treatment.
“Li Se, thanks to you, my grandfather’s condition has almost completely recovered,” Lin Wanqiu came out to greet Li Se.
“One follow-up visit, and there should be no major problems,” Li Se said with a smile.
Mr. Lin’s condition had indeed improved, but he was still in bed, being cared for by professional doctors and nurses.
Upon seeing Li Se, Ye Fang let out a cold snort but didn’t say anything. She had been forced to back down by Li Se last time.
Seeing Ye Fang’s gaze, Li Se couldn’t help but say, “Aunt, do you still remember something?”
Hearing this, Ye Fang’s expression changed. Previously, she had been forced to call him Daddy to beg Li Se to treat her grandfather, and in the end, she still hadn’t fully complied. She was angry. If she could, she really wanted to drive this fellow away.
Lin Wanqiu quickly nudged Li Se, feeling a bit awkward.
Li Se just smiled and stopped paying attention to Ye Fang. He went to the bedside and took Mr. Lin’s pulse.
“Little Doctor, thanks to you, I’ve managed to keep this old life,” Mr. Lin said gratefully.
“Elder Lin, I am a doctor, and this is my duty,” Li Se said calmly.
After the follow-up, an hour had passed.
“Li Se, would you like to stay for dinner at my place today?” Lin Wanqiu invited.
“No need for dinner, after all, some people don’t welcome me,” Li Se glanced at Ye Fang, smiled faintly, and prepared to leave.
“I’ll escort you.” Lin Wanqiu knew who Li Se was referring to. Who else could it be but her mother?
As he walked out of the Lin family, he saw Lin Junhao walking towards him, accompanied by a handsome and dashing young man of about the same age as Lin Junhao. They were walking and chatting.
“Divine Doctor Li!” Lin Junhao saw Li Se and couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
Li Se merely nodded.
“My grandfather’s condition is almost recovered, right?” Lin Junhao asked.
“Basically no problem,” Li Se replied.
“Oh, Divine Doctor Li, let me introduce you. This is the youngest president of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce, Luo Lin, who just took office these past two days!” Lin Junhao introduced.
Hearing this, Li Se looked at Luo Lin with some suspicion and asked, “What’s your relationship with President Luo Bei?”
“He’s my father. I’m his illegitimate son. I didn’t intend to reveal my identity easily, but with the trouble my father and elder brother are in, as the youngest son, I naturally have to step forward and turn the tide of the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce!” Luo Lin appeared gentle and refined.
Li Se mused but didn’t say much. He cupped his hands and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
“Divine Doctor Li, since you’re here, let’s have a meal together. It’s lunchtime now,” Lin Junhao immediately urged him to stay.
Li Se was about to refuse.
“Li Se, let’s eat out. Come with us,” Lin Wanqiu said with anticipation.
Li Se hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, “Alright.”
