Chapter 148 Difficult to Solve
They were just elders from the two families who casually made a joke. Who would really take it to heart?
"I already have someone I like, and you'll be able to see him soon, Uncle Zheng. I'm destined to disappoint Sister Ling'er's friendship."
Huo Jinzhi had not expected this, and he began to explain in a serious manner, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
The door was opened unexpectedly. Zheng Linger, wearing a beige long dress, walked in slowly. She was holding a tray in her hand, which contained the things that needed to be changed for the water bottle.
"Brother Huo, I know you don't want to involve me too much. Don't worry, what happens between us is not a big deal to me." Zheng Linger spoke directly, as if she regarded his so-called love for someone as a polite empty talk.
"I have been studying medicine for many years. If we get married, we will definitely be able to have children."
Such a serious look made Huo Jinzhi feel a little amused and helpless. The worry in his heart had already disappeared without a trace because of Shen Zhuyi's words.
"If you don't believe me, when I recover, I'll take you to meet my love. Although I haven't really taken her home yet, I've decided to get a marriage certificate with her in the near future."
Huo Jinzhi's explanation was particularly straightforward, and when he thought of that person, there was a gentle smile in his eyes.
This behavior proved that what he said was not a temporary lie, and that loving someone cannot be concealed.
Zheng Mingguo couldn't help but grin and was almost about to set off a firecracker to celebrate.
But Zheng Linger looked at Huo Jinzhi in astonishment and stood there in a daze.
"My daughter, even if your brother Huo has someone he likes, you don't have to be so disappointed. He is in poor health, so you just act as his attending physician and help him." Zheng Mingguo paid attention to his daughter's emotions, then coughed, forcibly suppressed the smile that was coming out of his mouth, and made a suggestion.
"Impossible, you can't lie to me about this!" Zheng Linger simply didn't believe that given Huo Jinzhi's current situation, there would be someone willing to marry him.
Huo Jinzhi couldn't help but frown at the overly confident tone: "Why would I lie to you?"
The injury itself was a pain in Huo Jinzhi's heart that was difficult to mention. At this moment, Zheng Lin Er spoke in such an attitude, which made some of the concerns in his heart emerge faintly.
"After you change the water bottle, you can leave. It's almost the same if you let someone else do it."
This is a direct order to expel you.
Zheng Linger understood what he meant. She put on a stern face, turned around and walked out, closing the door heavily to vent her anger.
"Ling'er's mind hasn't been clear lately. I think studying abroad has damaged her brain. You...don't bother with her. I'll teach her a lesson when we get back."
Zheng Mingguo originally wanted to poach Huo Jinzhi and have him stay by his side in the future so that he could find someone considerate and sensible to help him with some things. But now he is reluctant to say it out loud.
"Uncle Zheng said that our two families have a close relationship. I don't mind telling you that my lover is a very good girl. I am very lucky to have her love."
"As for Ling'er's matter, I don't care about it. Outsiders' words can't hurt me personally." Huo Jinzhi said as he closed his eyes slightly. He had been lying in the hospital for the past few days and he was also worried.
When Zheng Mingguo returned home, he saw his daughter sitting there. She had a stern face, but there seemed to be tiny flickering lights in her eyes. He didn't know how many thoughts she had.
"I'm warning you, suppress all those inappropriate thoughts. If you affect his recovery, I will make you fatherless!" Zheng Mingguo immediately understood his daughter's thoughts and suppressed them all.
"I just want to help Brother Huo test that little sister-in-law. Who knows whether this kind of girl is sincere or not?"
Zheng Linger snorted lightly and defended herself, her words full of arrogance.
He knew a lot after studying abroad, but the little girl on the island might not be that simple.
As the troops moved in, Huo Jinzhi's salary was definitely the highest on their island. That little girl might be planning to take Huo Jinzhi's money!
"Over the years, I've seen many girls out there who choose to sell themselves for a little money, or even... try to sneak out by any means possible."
"It's fine if Uncle Huo and the others don't know about it, but now that you know about it, don't you plan to find someone to try it out?"
Zheng Linger spoke in a rather exaggerated manner and even gestured with her hands. It was a bit funny when she spoke in such a serious tone.
"You see people resorting to unscrupulous means, that's because they have the ability. As long as it doesn't affect you, don't worry about it. I'll take you to the brain department for a thorough checkup tomorrow."
Zheng Mingguo reached out and tapped his daughter on the head, and couldn't help muttering as he walked.
"Could it be that you've read too much and damaged your brain?"
He thought about it and still felt worried, so he went out to ask someone whether it would be better to go to the psychiatric department or the neurology department directly. Maybe he should also look for some psychologists who are popular abroad?
Zheng Linger didn't expect that her idea was completely rejected by her father. She bit her lower lip and her expression became more dissatisfied.
"If you don't help me, I'll find a way myself!"
After she finished muttering, she quickly walked towards Zheng Mingguo's study.
Most people wouldn't even dare to look at the things in here, but Zheng Linger seemed to have been here countless times. She found what she needed with ease and passed the message to Commander Zhou and the others.
When the news of Huo Jinzhi's serious illness spread on the island, Chen Zhuyi was helping others deliver food. She stood aside, her originally weak and pale face now flushed red, with tiny beads of sweat on her forehead.
"I learned about the situation when I secretly went to find Commander Zhou and heard him communicating with his adjutant." Ye Xumei immediately told everything he heard.
Combined with the little information given by Cheng Zhuoyue, Ye Xumei pieced together a story in his mind.
Huo Jinzhi was ordered to protect everyone in a critical moment. He should have escaped unscathed, but he was accidentally ambushed. Everyone was fine, only he was injured.
"He hasn't come back for such a long time. Maybe he has some difficult-to-treat illness. Why don't you go find Commander Zhou now? Even if it's just to meet him, it would be great!" Ye Xumei said, becoming a little more anxious.
"Impossible." Chen Zhu shook his head, his face not looking good: "I'll go ask Commander Zhou!"
