Chapter 112 concerns Yang Zeyan's future.
This kind of opening is definitely not a good thing, otherwise there would be no need to ask. Du Ruoxia is in a good mood right now and doesn't want to hear it.
“Comrade Du, that old lady from the Chen family isn’t as ordinary as Commander Yang described,” Wang Hu said, forcing himself to speak.
Du Ruoxia frowned and looked at him. "What do you mean by that?"
“That old lady of the Chen family comes from a prominent family. She loves to hold tea parties in the capital, and those who attend are all influential old ladies. Her words carry a lot of weight,” Wang Hu explained.
Du Ruoxia thought of the TV shows she had watched in her previous life. The primary characteristics of a well-bred young lady were high standards and a love of finding fault. It seemed that this old lady was not one to be quiet either.
"So what if she spreads rumors everywhere? Yang Zeyan isn't in an office job, so the impact won't be significant," Du Ruoxia said, offering her opinion.
“You’ve already offended another family. If both sides attack us together, you can imagine what kind of situation we’ll face.”
Wang Hu left it at that, but Du Ruoxia already understood the meaning behind his words.
She hadn't expected this, which shows that sometimes seven mediocre minds can outwit Zhuge Liang. She wasn't stupid, but she was bound to miss some things.
"What do you mean?" Du Ruoxia stared at Wang Hu, thinking that Wang Hu must have a plan before he spoke.
Wang Hu took a deep breath before speaking, "The best way is for you to get into a good school first. Once you have a mentor, you'll have a way out, and things will be much easier then!"
"Moreover, the problem that currently binds you to this will also be solved."
Wang Hu wasn't the only one who knew about this; Du Ruoxia was fully aware of it as well. However, she hadn't received a definitive answer from the traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and a phone call couldn't prove anything, especially since it wasn't the start of the school term.
"With Dean Liu and the veteran TCM doctor working together, I believe this won't be difficult," Wang Hu said again.
Du Ruoxia's eyes immediately lit up. "How come I didn't think of that? The old Chinese medicine doctor and Dean Liu are both people who went back from Kyoto!"
After saying that, Du Ruoxia became anxious and started calculating when she would get off the train.
When Yang Zeyan came again, Du Ruoxia mentioned this matter to him. Yang Zeyan frowned and looked at Wang Hu, who dared not look Yang Zeyan in the eye and could only lower his head.
"Why are you looking at him? I already told you this, this is just an earlier announcement." Du Ruoxia grabbed Yang Zeyan's hand and said loudly. She wanted to slap his back, but then remembered that the wound there hadn't fully healed, so she changed her approach.
Yang Zeyan had no choice but to obey her and accept the task. "I'll contact them when we get to Kyoto."
"Great! I'll wait for your good news!" Du Ruoxia immediately beamed with joy. "But remember to come secretly!"
The atmosphere among the group was very harmonious, drawing envious glances from onlookers.
This atmosphere lasted until one person appeared and it came to an abrupt end.
The sudden appearance of Chen Jiwei plunged the entire carriage into silence, with everyone staring at him quietly.
Chen Jiwei's face was dark, and he stared at Du Ruoxia with wide eyes. Yang Zeyan stood up without making a sound.
"Disciplinary Committee Secretary Chen, what brings you here?" Du Ruoxia asked coldly from behind Yang Zeyan.
Because Yang Zeyan was present, Chen Jiwei did not dare to lose his temper on the spot. If he had not known that Du Ruoxia was Yang Zeyan's wife, he would have already reprimanded Du Ruoxia.
Chen Jiwei took a deep breath and coughed before speaking, "Regarding the Zhao family's matter, you could have clearly helped that child, so why did you stand by and watch him die?"
Du Ruoxia and Yang Zeyan's expressions turned cold, and she stepped forward expressionlessly.
“Disciplinary Committee Secretary Chen, I know my own limitations. Besides, that child has already been taken in by a top doctor in Beijing. Don’t you trust that doctor?”
Du Ruoxia answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, her eyes devoid of any warmth. If her attitude towards the Chen family was polite before, now it was nothing but disgust!
Chen Jiwei frowned, clearly not expecting Du Ruoxia to be involved with that doctor. Recalling what the doctor had said when he saw his old lady, his expression softened and he continued to speak.
“It’s not that I don’t trust that doctor, but I think you could go and see the child; maybe you can save him.”
This explanation was far-fetched, but in order to verify what he was thinking, he still said it.
"No need. I can't help with the child's external injuries. It was just a lucky break before." Du Ruoxia refused without any mercy.
Although medical technology isn't very advanced now, the top doctors in Kyoto have already announced the outcome of her injury, so there's not much of a chance left, especially since it involves the Zhao family, whom she doesn't want to deal with.
"You haven't even met him yet, so you should at least go and see him," Chen Jianping persisted.
"There's no need. If something goes wrong after we meet, it will be my responsibility, and I can't afford that," Du Ruoxia said, waving her hand in refusal.
Chen Jianping wanted to continue speaking, but Yang Zeyan stepped forward.
“Disciplinary Committee Secretary Chen, my wife has no obligation to save them. It seems unreasonable for you to repeatedly force her to do things against her.”
Chen Jianping was unconcerned about Yang Zeyan's questioning. Even though he knew Yang Zeyan's background was not simple, he knew that Du Ruoxia's identity was nothing to fear.
“Nephew, I’m doing this for Comrade Du’s own good. After all, your family isn’t an ordinary one. If you have an extra layer of ability to rely on, you won’t have to work so hard.”
"Although Comrade Du did not agree to acknowledge the Chen family as relatives, we still regard Comrade Du as family. She has always been the savior of my grandmother!"
Chen Jianping appealed to Du Ruoxia's emotions and reasoned with her, claiming that his actions were for Du Ruoxia's own good and that he had no personal motives whatsoever.
However, Du Ruoxia and the others knew exactly what was going on and had no desire to deal with him.
“Disciplinary Committee Secretary Chen, although I am Yang Zeyan’s wife, the country has not said that I must save people. Whether or not to save people is my own choice.”
"Secondly, whether Yang Zeyan's family is ordinary or not is none of your concern. Whatever problems I encounter are things I have to face."
Finally, I don't like others influencing my decisions, nor do I like others interfering in my family!
Du Ruoxia's words were a direct insult to Chen Jianping, showing that she didn't want his fake kindness and wouldn't accept his official pressure on her.
Originally, Chen Jianping had intended to use this method to persuade Du Ruoxia to take action, but now he was so angry with her that his chest heaved.
"You, you naive child, do you know that this concerns Yang Zeyan's future? Don't act recklessly!" Chen Jianping pointed at Du Ruoxia and said angrily.
"How come I didn't know that my future path would be paved by my wife? Could it be that my military achievements were also paved by her?" Yang Zeyan looked at Chen Jianping with a dark face.
Chen Jianping was speechless, choked by Yang Zeyan's words. He gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Du Ruoxia, "Yang Zeyan, we'll see how stubborn you are!"
After saying that, he stormed off in a huff. Du Ruoxia watched his retreating figure and grinned, "Heh, who's afraid of who!"
