Chapter 21: Inviting People Home
Zhao Xuanlang had nothing to hide anymore, so he nodded and said, "Dad, tell me, does Zhong Nianyao really have any real abilities?"
Father Zhao looked at the ashes in Zhao Xuanlang's hand, his face full of seriousness. "That classmate of yours is definitely not an ordinary person. Since she can see your situation and saved you this time, she might really be able to solve your problem."
"Hubby, you mean—" Mother Zhao was very excited. She reached out and tightly grasped Father Zhao's hand, with a hint of nervousness in her expression. "That classmate has a way to solve Xiaolang's unfortunate situation, right?"
"I don't know yet." Father Zhao shook his head and then looked at Zhao Xuanlang. "Xiaolang, your injuries aren't serious. After you're discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning, go straight to class! Then, you can personally invite Miss Zhong to come visit. Regardless of whether she has any real ability or not, she saved you this time, and we should thank her."
Zhao Xuanlang nodded, and then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Because he remembered that he had mocked Zhong Nianyao several times before because of Li Jingming's matter. Now Zhong Nianyao saved him once, and even if he wanted to completely solve his problem, he still needed to go to Zhong Nianyao. For a moment, he felt that he didn't know how to face Zhong Nianyao.
"Xiao Lang, what's wrong?" Zhao's mother noticed Zhao Xuanlang's strange expression. "How is your classmate? Or does she have any other requests?"
Zhao Xuanlang scratched his hair and said awkwardly, "Actually, there's nothing else. It's just that in the past—"
When he got to this point, he felt like he couldn't go on any further. However, he still told everything that had happened in the past in detail.
"So the Zhong Nianyao you're talking about is the youngest granddaughter of the Zhong family, the daughter of Zhong Mingxin!" Father Zhao nodded, his tone filled with endless emotion. "When Zhong Mingxin was young, he was a stunning figure in the imperial capital. Many women from prominent families and noble ladies considered him their best match. You know, when he suddenly brought home a daughter, countless girls were heartbroken. It's a pity that he disappeared more than ten years ago, and his life or death is unknown now."
"Is Zhong Nianyao's father really that powerful?" Zhao Xuanlang was surprised. "Why haven't I heard anyone mention him?"
"It's been many years." Zhao's father sighed, "What a pity for such a great man."
Everyone knew that after being missing for so many years, there was a high probability that he was no longer alive. However, I heard that the Zhong family was still sending people to search for him, so they probably hadn't given up hope.
"Is this the time to talk about this?" Zhao's mother interrupted his father's sigh. "The fact is, your son has offended someone. That girl might be the only one who can save your son."
Suddenly, Zhao's father's expression became serious. He looked at Zhao Xuanlang and said, "Tomorrow, no matter what method you use, even if you have to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, you must invite this person to my house. Otherwise, don't come back."
"Dad, there's no need to be so exaggerated!" Zhao Xuanlang felt a little speechless, "Besides, I——"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao's mother. "Stop arguing about you and me. Your father is right. This concerns your life. Dignity is not important at all."
After a few words, Zhao Xuanlang was left speechless.
After seeing that Zhao Xuanlang was fine, Zhao's father and mother decided to go home.
Anyway, here in the hospital, there are nurses to take care of us, and bodyguards are guarding the door. Nothing will happen in one night.
Now they have more important things to do, which is to go home as soon as possible to make preparations.
Zhao Xuanlang will invite people over tomorrow, but if he wants to persuade them to help, it will not be an easy task. Especially since Zhao Xuanlang has offended many people in the past.
Lying on the hospital bed, Zhao Xuanlang could hardly sleep the entire night.
As long as he thought about what his parents said, he couldn't fall asleep. Moreover, thinking about having to ask Zhong Nianyao for help tomorrow, his mood became even more chaotic.
However, even so, he had no intention of escaping. Because he knew in his heart that the only person who could save his life now might be Zhong Nianyao. So, no matter what, he had to go on this trip.
Zhao Xuanlang came to the hospital early in the morning.
The gauze on his forehead was particularly eye-catching. When he walked on the street, many people couldn't help but cast strange glances at him.
As if he hadn't seen anything, Zhao Xuanlang went straight to Zhong Nianyao's classroom.
