The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 140 Preparing to Move

Seeing Chen Xiao come home, Liu Zhen immediately brought out the dishes, all of which were Chen Xiao's favorites.

Recently, the mother and son had been spending little time together, and it had been a long time since they had sat down to enjoy a good meal.

It was already so dark, so Liu Zhen had naturally already eaten.

However, seeing her son gobbling down the food she had made, Liu Zhen felt a great sense of accomplishment.

While eating, Chen Xiao casually said, "Mom, how about we move?"

Liu Zhen was slightly stunned, thinking she had misheard.

After confirming that she had heard correctly, she asked, "Move? Where are we moving to?"

Chen Xiao said casually, "The houses at Tianhai Yi Pin, I went to see them today, and they're pretty good."

Hearing this, Liu Zhen gasped.

She knew about the houses at Tianhai Yi Pin; they were all villas, and she had heard that even the cheapest ones cost tens of millions.

It could be said that every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, so how could she be wrong?

But the next moment, Liu Zhen curled her lips. "You brat, you're just making fun of your mother. Your mother doesn't have the good fortune to live in such a nice house!"

Chen Xiao looked at his mother seriously and said, "Mom, I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying to you."

Liu Zhen was dumbfounded. "You really bought a house there? Where did you get so much money?"

But then, after another thought, Liu Zhen couldn't help but ask,

"Chen Xiao, tell Mom the truth, is this house Ziqing's...?"

"Of course, even if it is hers, Mom won't gossip. It proves that you two have a good relationship."

"It's just that Mom might not be able to get over that hurdle in her heart. I don't want people to say that my son is a kept man."

Liu Zhen's voice grew softer and softer, obviously afraid of hurting Chen Xiao's self-esteem.

Chen Xiao laughed heartily. "Mom, what are you thinking? Don't worry, that house isn't Ziqing's, and your son isn't a kept man. That house was earned by my own abilities. Don't forget, your son is now a divine doctor. Just live there with peace of mind, and no one will gossip!"

Hearing these words, Liu Zhen finally felt relieved.

She also knew that her son's medical skills were superb, and perhaps he had cured some big boss's incurable disease, and the big boss had casually given him a house.

She often saw such plots in novels!

However, she didn't guess everything correctly. Chen Xiao didn't rely on treating people, but on catching ghosts for people.

Liu Zhen happily smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the temple to ask for a fortune and pick an auspicious day when I have time, and we'll move in!"

Chen Xiao was speechless. With him around, what was the point of asking for a fortune?

But it was good as long as his mother was happy, so he wouldn't say anything more.

After eating, Chen Xiao returned to his room.

In fact, he had been thinking about one thing all along, and that was the yin-yang jade on his chest.

This jade clearly possessed self-awareness and had easily swallowed an infant spirit, which was really evil.

But after Chen Xiao tried various methods, he couldn't communicate with it, so he had to give up for the time being.

Nothing happened overnight, and the next day after dawn, Chen Xiao went to work after breakfast.

He had planned to sneak away after clocking in as usual, but as soon as he went out, a little nurse came to find him.

"Assistant Chen, Assistant Chen, I finally found you. Dean Hao is looking for you, so hurry up and go!"

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned and responded, but he felt confused in his heart.

He wondered what Dean Hao could want from him?

Could it be that there was news about Song Anran?

Chen Xiao thought of this possibility and was immediately overjoyed, quickly walking towards the dean's office.

Since their farewell at the last night banquet, Chen Xiao had not heard from Song Anran again.

In fact, he had also taken the initiative to call Song Anran's phone in his spare time, but the phone had never been connected.

"Chen Xiao, you're here."

After entering the dean's office, Dean Hao greeted Chen Xiao calmly and didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Dean Hao, I heard you were looking for me. Is there anything urgent?"

Dean Hao nodded. "Well, it's not an urgent matter. In a few days, there will be a medical seminar and exchange conference in the provincial capital. Our hospital will also send doctors to participate, and I have already recommended you."

So it wasn't about Song Anran. Chen Xiao was slightly disappointed.

Seeing Chen Xiao like this, Dean Hao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? You don't have anything to do, can't you participate? I've already registered you!"

Chen Xiao was speechless. You've already acted first and reported later, so why are you asking if I have anything to do?

"It's okay, I can go."

Dean Hao was overjoyed upon hearing this. "That's good, Chen Xiao. I believe you will definitely win glory for our hospital this time. I'm optimistic about you!"

Chen Xiao smiled weakly. He had no interest in things like winning glory for the hospital!

However, he also took the opportunity to bargain and asked Dean Hao for a few days off.

Dean Hao did not hesitate and granted the leave with a wave of his hand!

After saying goodbye to Dean Hao, Chen Xiao left the hospital.

Going to the provincial capital to participate in the medical seminar, he didn't know how long it would take.

So before going, he planned to settle the matter of moving.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xiao still knocked on Gu Zhendong's door.

Although it was a bit abrupt, he decided to invite this old neighbor to move over together.

"Yo, Chen Xiao, you're a rare guest. What wind brought you here!"

Gu Zhendong seemed very excited when he saw Chen Xiao.

He had no friends, not even someone to talk to. At least Chen Xiao's arrival could make him less lonely.

And when Chen Xiao explained his intention, Gu Zhendong's eyebrows and eyes clearly revealed a bit of joy.

But he hesitated, "This isn't good, that's too much trouble!"

Chen Xiao punched Gu Zhendong. "Alright, why are you being so polite with me? Don't forget, we have a common enemy, the Liu Sect. Living together will make it easier to deal with any problems!"

"Okay, then I'll accept your kind offer!"

Gu Zhendong stopped pretending to be polite and finally agreed.

Chen Xiao didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Just as the two were discussing when to move, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out outside.

Gu Yutong opened the door and walked in.

Gu Zhendong asked in surprise, "Tongtong, why are you back so early today? Did school let out?"

Gu Yutong lowered her head and said hesitantly, "No."

Gu Zhendong's face suddenly darkened, and his voice became stern. "If school didn't let out, why are you back? What's going on?"

Gu Yutong said in a low voice, "Dad, our homeroom teacher wants you to go to school."

Gu Zhendong was stunned. Was he being called in as a parent?

At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly asked in surprise, "Tongtong, what happened to your face? What happened?"
