The weather in the south can change in an instant during winter.
When I woke up on Wednesday morning, the outside world was covered in snow, with red plum blossoms dotting the landscape, making for a very beautiful scene.
"Miss, are you going out now?" Uncle Liu asked as he saw Yu Wan coming downstairs in a down jacket.
Yu Wan gave a lazy "hmm".
This morning I arranged to go to the hospital with Tang Yue for a follow-up examination of my arm, and also to visit Meng Shen. Although Meng Shen's injury wasn't serious, his mother insisted that he stay at the hospital for further observation.
"The kitchen has prepared two servings of bone broth, one for Mr. Tang and one for Young Master Meng. Miss, please go to the car first, I'll go get the thermos." After all, Tang Yue's arm was injured while protecting the young lady. This bone broth had been simmering for several hours, making it not only nutritious but also extremely delicious.
"good."
When the driver brought Yu Wan to Shihua Hospital, Tang Yue had already arrived half an hour earlier and was in his office communicating with the specially hired therapist.
Yu Wan saw the message on her phone and turned off the screen. She first carried two thermos flasks to room 405. Seeing that Meng Shen was still fast asleep, she placed one of the thermos flasks on the bedside table and told the caregiver to give it to him later. Then she took the elevator downstairs and went straight to the office at the very end of the corridor.
She knocked twice on the door and only entered after receiving permission.
Hearing the sound, the man who had been sitting with his back to her turned around. He was short and thin, with the appearance of a frail scholar, and was handsome and refined.
With just one glance, Yu Wan looked away, no longer interested.
Tang Yue stepped forward, took the thermos from her hand, and introduced, "Wanwan, this gentleman is Xue Yi."
Xue Yi stood up and smiled at Yu Wanqian, "Miss Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future." This must be his employer; she's really beautiful.
Yu Wan put her hands in her pockets, tilted her head slightly, and asked repeatedly, "To what extent can you treat it? How confident are you? Do you have a treatment plan?"
Xue Yi remained composed despite the barrage of questions, replying calmly, "I reviewed Mr. Tang's surgical report on the way here and drafted a preliminary plan. After discussing some details with Mr. Tang earlier, the plan needs further revisions. I'll send it to your emails tonight. As for the results, Ms. Yu and Mr. Tang, please rest assured that with careful treatment, you can recover to a normal state. Of course, returning to Mr. Tang's original hand speed is beyond the scope of any treatment."
These words rekindled a sense of guilt in Yu Wan's heart.
"It's none of your business. I've injured my arm before." Tang Yue saw through her thoughts and comforted her with a smile, "As long as my right arm can be used normally, it's fine. Besides, I have another hand. If you don't believe me, let's arm wrestle."
Yu Wan chuckled: "Forget it, if both of your hands are injured, you'll really become a cripple, and I can't afford to take care of you."
After this interruption, she calmed down a lot and glanced at Xue Yi: "Just come up with a plan. Anything that can be done with money is not a small matter."
Xue Yi gave a thumbs-up with a broad smile: "Miss Yu is indeed very generous."
ox!
That's amazing!
Even among the wealthy elites of Beijing, no one would dare to say something so arrogant and presumptuous.
-
Once in the car, Tang Yue eagerly opened the thermos, and the rich aroma of bone broth wafted out. He took a sip, and the warm soup slid down his throat into his stomach, making him feel warm and comfortable all over.
"It tastes good," he exclaimed.
Yu Wan's lips involuntarily curled up.
The bone broth was a single serving, which Tang Yue drank all of, his stomach slightly bloated. He wiped his lips with a tissue, then closed the thermos and placed it at his feet.
"Are you in a hurry to go back? If not, come with me somewhere."
"Where?"
You'll see when you get there.
Seeing his mysterious demeanor, Yu Wan's curiosity was piqued. Since she had nothing else to do, she nodded.
but.
To her surprise, Tang Yue actually brought her to see Old Master Tang.
Isn't this...?
...Commonly known as meeting the parents!
The Tang family's old residence.
Yu Wan's entire body tensed up.
"What would you like to drink, little girl?" Old Master Tang's eyes lit up when he saw Tang Yue holding Yu Wan's hand. He smiled and spoke softly and gently, looking exceptionally kind, quite different from the decisive and efficient head of the Tang family that was widely rumored to be.
Moreover, he looked energetic and not seriously ill.
Yu Wan lowered her eyelids, concealing the fleeting darkness in her eyes.
Tang Yue replied with a smile, "The child is still growing, so drinking warm milk is fine."
You're the kid! Yu Wan scratched his palm in embarrassment and annoyance, but he held her hand tightly instead.
Grandpa Tang silently observed the little interaction between the two, and smiled even more heartily. He quickly told Uncle Zhang to pour Yu Wan a glass of hot milk and prepare some pastries and fruits to bring over.
After a while, Yu Wan drank some hot milk, or perhaps it was the harmonious atmosphere in the Tang family that gradually eased her tension. She looked at the unfinished game on the chessboard on the table and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Both the black and white pieces are played with sharp and elegant moves. Was Grandpa Tang just using both hands simultaneously?"
Old Master Tang stroked his beard, nodded and smiled, asking, "Interested in having a plate?"
After a moment's thought, Yu Wan countered with, "Should we be modest?"
Why be so polite? It's too much trouble.
Tang Yue curled his lips and chuckled softly a few times.
Grandpa Tang was stunned for a full half minute before bursting into laughter: "No need." He turned to Tang Yue: "You be our referee."
Before long, it was evening.
At first, Yu Wan and Grandpa Tang each won a game, but later, Yu Wan kept winning, just as agreed, without any hesitation.
As Old Master Tang's face grew increasingly grim, his breathing became heavy: "Not convinced? Let's play another game." He hadn't expected Yu Wan to be even better than him, a veteran who had been playing for over sixty years, with a more stable and aggressive playing style.
The words "It's meaningless" were on the tip of Yu Wan's tongue, but she silently swallowed them back.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhang came over with a cup of warm water and medicine at that moment and said gently, "Master, it's time to take your medicine."
Yu Wan glanced at the medicine bottle; it was a common medication for treating heart valve problems. She had seen her neighbor's uncle take it when she was a child.
After Mr. Tang took his medicine, Uncle Zhang advised him, "According to the doctor's orders, you should have rested three hours ago." Although his health was not as bad as the news had suggested, it was deteriorating year by year, and overexertion would only worsen his condition.
Old Master Tang's brows furrowed immediately.
Tang Yue then took his leave: "Grandpa, it's getting late, and I have to go home tonight. The roads are difficult to travel on today due to the heavy snow, so it's better to go back early. I'll bring her over to play with you next time."
Old Master Tang reluctantly put down the chessboard: "It's a promise, you'll come play with me again next time." Putting everything else aside, he had to get his revenge.
