Chapter 254: That Kind of Problem

“Brother, don’t get agitated. I have my reasons for calling you. Just trust me.” Xie Zheng said to the two of them in a low voice, “Anyway, Dr. Ye is taking a break right now and won’t be seeing you. Why don’t you talk to me first?”

"Excuse me, sir, what's your name? We don't know you yet." Bai Weiwei looked up at him with a bright smile.

“Xie Zheng,” he replied.

“So it’s Mr. Xie.” Bai Weiwei whispered to Zhao Kai, “Brother Kai, since Dr. Ye is resting right now, let’s go and hear what Mr. Xie wants to see us about. We’re just killing time anyway.”

Zhao Kai firmly disagreed and tried to go inside, but there was no announcement from inside Jishengtang to let the next patient in.

He didn't dare to go inside rashly; there were warning signs posted on the wall.

Cutting in line or jaywalking will result in a permanent ban from seeing a doctor.

"Don't worry, I'm not a liar." Xie Zheng glanced at them, his tone meaningful. "Anyway, you're all penniless, so you're not afraid of me swindling you."

Zhao Kai, "!!!"

Bai Weiwei, "!!!"

I was really hit hard.

At this moment, Bai Weiwei felt even more directly the shame that poverty brought them.

If it were someone else, they could be more subtle.

But the unruly Xie Zheng truly didn't know how to give any face.

This is also where his personal charm lies.

Say what you mean.

"Brother Kai, let's go and hear what Mr. Xie has to say."

After Bai Weiwei finished speaking, she didn't pull Zhao Kai along, but instead started walking to catch up with Xie Zheng.

Zhao Kai could only follow with a sullen face.

If he doesn't go, that wanton woman might even be tempted to leave with this man.

Xie Zheng led them to the street intersection behind the Jishengtang storefront.

Zhao Kai's face darkened, and he asked impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say by bringing us here?"

"I'd like to ask, what's wrong with this brother's health?" Xie Zheng asked Zhao Kai with a gossipy look on his face.

When Zhao Kai met Xie Zheng's curious gaze, his pride as a man couldn't take it anymore. His face burned with embarrassment, and he clenched his fists, suppressing an expression that threatened to explode.

"What do you mean by asking this?" Did this man lure them here to humiliate him?

Do they know each other?

It's one thing to look down on them for being poor, but to even bring up their illnesses to mock them—are they even human?

"Don't misunderstand, I'm doing this for your own good." Xie Zheng stood there lazily with his hands in his pockets, his tone indifferent. "Aren't you guys very close to Dr. Xiao Bai? I went in and asked, hehe."

Xie Zheng chuckled, and Zhao Kai and Bai Weiwei's expressions became subtle and guilty.

Xie Zheng sneered, "Dr. Xiao Bai said that she is not close to you."

"By the way, I heard you two conspired to harm Bai Zhi, right? And apparently it was illegal? People are waiting to report you two to the police as soon as they see you." Xie Zheng said sternly.

"Huh?" Zhao Kai and Bai Weiwei looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is it illegal for the two of them to be together?

Zhao Kai and Bai Zhi are not married.

They will at most be subject to moral condemnation.

However, Zhao Kai's gaze towards Bai Weiwei darkened.

This woman and her mother have bullied Bai Zhi quite a bit over the years.

Bai Weiwei even dared to steal the belongings left by Bai Zhi's biological mother.

Could it be this?

Xie Zheng continued, his face fierce, "Besides, Bai Zhi said she absolutely won't treat you. If you go in, she'll kick you out immediately. Also, with your poor appearance, you can't afford the medicine from Jishengtang, so you'd better not go in and humiliate yourself."

Bai Weiwei's expression had softened, but Zhao Kai was still not giving up. "No, we can't trust his words. How do we know Bai Zhi won't treat me if we don't try?"

As for the medical expenses, they really didn't have much money, but they had just received their wages yesterday, and hadn't sent any home; the three hundred yuan was all in his possession.

Bai Weiwei angrily grabbed Zhao Kai, "They refused to treat us back in Bincheng. Do you think things will change just because we're in Nancheng?"

Bai Weiwei truly regretted compromising with Zhao Kai, abandoning her work to come to Nancheng, only to suffer the humiliation inflicted upon them by Bai Zhi.

However, seeing the handsome man before her, she felt that this trip to Nancheng was worthwhile.

Zhao Kai's gaze at Bai Weiwei was practically spitting fire.

He suddenly felt like he was being dragged down by this woman.

If he hadn't resisted her temptations and insisted on marrying Bai Zhi, he would now be the grandson-in-law of the legendary healer.

It's true that you can't buy foresight.

While Zhao Kai remained silent, Xie Zheng's voice reached his ears again.

"Hey buddy, is something wrong with you in that area?"

He had just asked Doctor Ye a question out of his own wit, and Doctor Ye had given him a tactful answer.

Zhao Kai, "!!!"

Zhao Kai gritted his teeth, met Xie Zheng's mocking gaze, and felt like killing him.

Ignoring Zhao Kai's liver-colored expression, Xie Zheng bluntly said, "Let me tell you, there's no use in treating your illness."

Zhao Kai, "!!!"

"Besides, how can a grown man like you openly go to see a female doctor for this? Aren't you ashamed?"

"I..." Zhao Kai explained, "I went to see Doctor Ye."

Xie Zheng didn't bother listening to him at all. He glanced at Zhao Kai in a certain spot and offered him advice.

"Actually, you don't need to see a doctor for this illness. With rest and time, it will heal on its own. You need to relax, okay?"

Bai Weiwei expressed her strong agreement with Xie Zheng's statement, saying, "Mr. Xie, you are right, he should be supported."

Bai Weiwei had been with so many men in her past life, so she knew a little bit about it.

That kind of problem is sometimes related to a person's emotions and mindset.

The more nervous you are, the less effective you become.

Xie Zheng looked at Zhao Kai with disdain and said in a tough tone, "Don't go to Jishengtang. Aren't you ashamed? If I had a problem in that area like you, I wouldn't even have the courage to go out. I would just hide under the covers and cry. You dare to come all the way from Bincheng to Nancheng to embarrass yourself. You have a really big heart."

Xie Zheng's sharp words dealt Zhao Kai another blow.
