Shangguan Wu said calmly, "Has it been a long time? It must be because we are too far apart and our social circles are different. You will make new friends in the future. Good luck on your college entrance exam."
The fact that she didn't interfere in Xia Zilu's life was the greatest act of kindness she could show her.
If she were to continue being friends with Xia Zilu, she feared she might be unable to resist hypnotizing her and causing her to die silently!
Shangguan Wu suppressed the hostility in her eyes and said coldly, "Alright, I have something to do, I'll stop talking now, goodbye."
Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Xia Zilu realized with a start that Shangguan Wu wasn't joking, but had truly distanced himself from her.
Xia Zilu looked at the screen. Shangguan Wu's phone number hadn't changed, but she couldn't get through. She had obviously been blocked. But just two months ago, they had made plans to go somewhere together!
Xia Zilu didn't know where things went wrong, but she absolutely refused to let the relationship she had cultivated for so long just disappear like that!
Back in her office, Xia Zilu returned the phone to Luo Wei: "Thank you, brother."
Luo Wei paused for a moment upon hearing the address, then asked, "No need to be so polite. How did your chat with your junior sister go? She's not in the capital city. Are you going back to school now? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Xia Zilu lowered her head sadly: "I'm sorry to bother you today, goodbye."
After she finished speaking, she bowed to Luo Wei and Xia Wanning at a 70-degree angle, paused for two seconds, then straightened up and turned to leave.
Xia Wanning felt a little awkward when she heard her call her "brother", but seeing her obvious disappointment and her politeness, she didn't say anything.
Xia Zilu hadn't even left the medical school when she received a call from Chu Mingshu.
She thought about it and realized that even if she hung up now, the other party could still find her. If she angered the other party, it might even harm her family!
Xia Zilu answered the phone and spoke first: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Chu, I can't take you to see the little miracle doctor."
Chu Mingshu's sharp voice rang out from the phone: "What did you say? Xia Zilu, are you playing me? I waited for you for so long and brought you to the capital, and now you're standing me up?"
Just as Xia Zilu was about to explain, she heard a male voice on the phone again: "Miss Xia, have you heard of the Xiao family in the capital? The Xiao family is a powerful and influential family. Finding the Little Divine Doctor is a matter of life and death. Since you know the Little Divine Doctor's whereabouts, it would be better to tell him. I think there are some things that I don't need to explain too clearly, right?"
Xia Zilu gripped her phone tightly.
This is the benefit of being rich and powerful. She doesn't want to be summoned and dismissed at will, so she has to be stronger than others. Only in this way can she avoid being bullied!
"I can't say," Xia Zilu insisted.
"Then please tell my older cousin yourself."
Quan Tianrui hung up the phone.
Xia Zilu, who had just arrived at the entrance of the medical school, was ushered into a black car by two tall men in black suits.
When Xia Zilu arrived at the Xiao family, she witnessed what true wealth and status really meant.
She was led into a study.
Xiao Jingming saw that it was a fresh-faced young girl, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a gentle and refined manner, "What's your name?"
"Xia Zilu".
"The world values timber above all else, and people admire the finest steeds among the best."
Xiao Jingming stared at her, pushed up his glasses, and recited another line: "Dew is heavy on the flowers, and thin sweat seeps through her clothes. Zilu, it's a pretty good name."
Xia Zilu suddenly looked up and finally saw the man's face behind the desk.
She didn't know how to describe this man. He looked refined and gentle, but she knew one thing: he was a powerful and dangerous man.
Xia Zilu quickly lowered her head, not daring to look anymore.
A smile appeared in Xiao Jingming's eyes, but he sighed and said, "I have a younger brother. He is in the prime of his life and had a very bright future ahead of him. But he had an accident and broke both his legs. Now only the Little Divine Doctor can heal his legs. So no matter what means I have to use or what price I have to pay, I will find the Little Divine Doctor. Can you understand how I feel?"
Xia Zilu looked up and saw the pained expression on his face. She suddenly thought of herself. If Shangguan Wu hadn't cured her mother's illness, she would have been an orphan without parents.
Xiao Jingming looked at her and coaxed, "Zilu, please tell me the whereabouts of the little divine doctor, okay? I can grant you three requests."
Xia Zilu shook her head: "I'm sorry, I can't say."
Xiao Jingming's expression and tone remained unchanged: "You went to the medical school to see your best friend, or is the Little Divine Doctor at the medical school? You asked the Little Divine Doctor for her opinion, didn't you?"
Xia Zilu's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.
Xiao Jingming narrowed his eyes, a shrewd glint in his eyes, and continued to probe, "The young doctor is quite young, and she's your friend, could she be your good sister?"
Xia Zilu stared at him in disbelief.
With just one glance, Xiao Jingming knew he had guessed correctly!
But things became even more difficult.
Xiao Jingming never imagined that the little miracle doctor was actually Shangguan Wu, a twenty-year-old girl, how could she possibly be a miracle doctor!
"I already know who she is."
Xiao Jingming was already thinking of ways to invite Shangguan Wu to the Xiao family.
Xia Zilu's eyes flickered as she pleaded, "Please don't make things difficult for her!"
Xiao Jingming smiled and said, "I need her to treat my brother's leg, so why would I make things difficult for her?"
"Thank you," Xia Zilu said, bowing her head.
Xiao Jingming's smile deepened, and he said gently, "Although you didn't tell me this yourself, I can grant you one request since you helped me."
"I don't……"
Before Xia Zilu could finish speaking, Xiao Jingming interrupted her: "You can go back and think about it slowly, there's no rush."
After saying that, he called out, "Tianrui, send someone to take her back."
Quan Tianrui pushed open the door and entered: "Miss Xia, let's go."
Xia Zilu turned and took two steps, then couldn't help but look back, only to find the man staring at her. Her face flushed instantly, and she quickly looked away and walked out of the study.
Xiao Jingming chuckled softly.
He had a gut feeling that this little girl would definitely come looking for him!
But the most urgent task is to heal Zhongming's leg!
Not long after, Quan Tianrui returned to his study.
Xiao Jingming looked at him and instructed, "Go and invite Madam Chu up."
Quan Tianrui nodded and left the study again.
When he brought Chu Mingshu to the study and was about to leave, Xiao Jingming asked him to stay, saying, "Madam Chu, Tianrui, the little miracle doctor we're looking for is right here, even though it's far away."
Quan Tianrui's eyelids twitched: "Who is it?"
Xiao Jingming glanced at him indifferently and said a name: "Shangguan Wu".
Chu Mingshu retorted sharply, "That's impossible!"
How could that little bitch Shangguan Wu possibly be the famous Little Divine Doctor?
That's absolutely impossible!
Quan Tianrui was completely stunned.
How could it be Shangguan Wu? It really is Shangguan Wu?!
In other words, did he lose the big picture by breaking off the engagement?
If he hadn't been with Shangguan Xinyi back then, the person sitting on a mountain of gold now wouldn't be Gu Yunzhen, but him, right?
