Yu Zhiming looked at the big-eyed girl Ning Lan in front of him and felt that she was quite honest and did not use sweet words to explain, so he decided to try her skills first.
After all, talents are rare. If this girl's ability can really impress Yu Zhiming, he wouldn't mind giving her a chance.
In order to eliminate the possibility of cheating, Yu Zhiming took her into a soundproof office and turned off all the lights.
The office was instantly shrouded in absolute darkness.
Yu Zhiming asked someone to randomly call a resident doctor from upstairs to serve as a model for Ning Lan.
Under Yu Zhiming's supervision, Ning Lan touched the resident's face for five or six minutes in the darkness where she couldn't see anything before she spoke to indicate that it was okay.
After the resident left, the lights in the soundproof office came back on, and Yu Zhiming pointed to his desk.
“Just draw it there, and leave when you’re done.”
Yu Zhiming added: "Just draw a sketch, not something abstract or cartoon-like. The more detailed the better."
Ning Lan nodded and sat down at the desk. She took out the sketch paper from the pen holder, spread the paper on the desk, and started drawing.
Drawing a portrait sketch takes a long time, and Yu Zhiming doesn't have that time to stare at her.
After arranging his assistant Jiang Ge to supervise Ning Lan's painting, Yu Zhiming packed up and went home...
After seven in the evening, Zeng Yan brought her elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew to the Youyou Hotel for a buffet...
Zeng Liang was completely relieved when he saw his little son eating non-stop.
For more than a month, his youngest son either cried or made a fuss every time he ate, and he never ate his meal honestly.
Zeng Liang looked at Zeng Yan beside him and sized her up.
Compared to when she was at home, he found that this sister was very good at dressing up and had become at least two or three times prettier.
The next moment, Zeng Liang vaguely discovered that his sister was actually a little similar to Dr. Yu.
Is this what everyone calls a couple look?
This discovery made Zeng Liang feel uneasy...
After finishing the buffet, Zeng Liang rejected Zeng Yan's suggestion to go out and play. He asked his wife and the children to go back to the hotel room first, and he took Zeng Yan into the hotel's tea room.
After drinking a cup of tea, Zeng Liang asked, "Ayan, is Doctor Yu really that good to you?"
Zeng Yan looked up, met Zeng Liang's gaze, nodded, and said, "He's always concerned about my studies and life. A few days ago, I got into trouble, and it was my uncle who took the trouble to fix it."
Zeng Liang asked worriedly, "Did you get into trouble again? What kind of trouble? Is it serious?"
Zeng Yan said vaguely, "It was actually a small matter at the beginning. I didn't expect the other party to take advantage of it and do something weird. However, my uncle intervened and they shot themselves in the foot."
She added with a hint of arrogance, "Now that the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Public Security Bureau have both intervened, those people should at least be dismissed from their posts."
Looking at his sister's shining eyes, Zeng Liang became even more worried. It seemed that Dr. Yu's rage for his beloved had made his sister fall deeper and deeper into trouble.
Zeng Liang thought it would be better to be more direct.
"Ayan, Dr. Yu may be handsome and talented, but he's getting married soon and is busy with work. You shouldn't disturb him too much. You should move out from his place."
"Brother will rent you a house."
Zeng Yan laughed and said, "My uncle is not afraid of me disturbing him, so he doesn't need to move out."
Zeng Liang's expression suddenly changed, and he said seriously, "Zeng Yan, if you still recognize me as your big brother, then listen to me and move out of Dr. Yu's place."
"Zeng Yan, you need to keep your distance from Dr. Yu."
Zeng Yan was stunned by Zeng Liang's sudden change in attitude, and the word "keep your distance" made her eyes widen.
"Brother, you know everything?"
Zeng Liang's heart sank at these words, and he said bitterly, "Zeng Yan, Zeng Yan, you... you... I didn't expect it to be true. How could you... How could you?"
Zeng Yan said obediently, "Brother, don't be angry. I didn't hide it from you on purpose. It's my mother who didn't let me tell you."
Zeng Liang was furious and asked loudly, "Your mother also knew about this?"
Zeng Yan hummed and said, "Of course my mother has always known about it. She only told me during the Spring Festival."
“I was also very shocked when I heard it.”
Zeng Yan said solemnly again: "Brother, don't worry, I just have another brother, you will always be my big brother."
Zeng Liang was confused when he heard this.
"Wait, Ayan, please explain to me carefully, how did you get a new brother?"
"It seems we are not talking about the same thing."
Zeng Yan blinked and asked guiltily, "Brother, can you tell me what you want to say first?"
Zeng Liang took a deep breath and said with a straight face, "Zeng Yan, first tell me the truth. What is your relationship with Dr. Yu? Don't roll your eyes at me. Tell me the truth."
Zeng Yan knew she had messed up and started to stammer, "Well, well, my mom won't let me tell you."
Zeng Liang slammed the coffee table and threatened, "Zeng Yan, if you don't tell the truth, I'll go ask Doctor Yu directly."
Under Zeng Liang's angry gaze, Zeng Yan said timidly, "Brother, I can tell you, but you have to promise me first that you must keep it a secret and not tell our dad."
Zeng Liang nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"You swear!"
Zeng Liang glared and said, "It's not that complicated. I promised, so tell me now!"
Zeng Yan hummed softly, "Well, well, my uncle is not actually my uncle. He and I actually have the same mother."
Zeng Liang was stunned. After digesting this shocking news for a while, he asked, "Is Doctor Yu really your mother's son?"
Zeng Yan nodded and emphasized, "Brother, you just promised to keep it a secret."
Zeng Liang asked again: "Does Doctor Yu know?"
Zeng Yan nodded again and said, "My mother said that my uncle knew about it, but he just didn't recognize him. My mother said that this is a good thing, so as to avoid embarrassment."
Zeng Liang said, "So Dr. Yu knew. That explains why he's so nice to you."
Zeng Yan giggled and said, "It was only after I knew about it that I understood why my uncle was so nice to me. However, my uncle probably doesn't know that I already know it, hehe."
Zeng Liang saw Zeng Yan's silly smile and teased her, "What's so funny about calling your brother 'uncle'?"
"Hey, who is Dr. Yu's father?"
Zeng Yan shook her head and said, "My mother didn't say..."
After nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming received two photos sent by Jiang Ge.
One is a photo of the resident, and the other is a sketch taken from a photo.
Seeing the sketch, Yu Zhiming couldn't help but sigh, "He's really good at it. The painting is so lifelike, it's like a replica."
He also noticed that the sketch actually showed several acne scars on the resident's face, as well as a rather obvious mole.
Yu Zhiming nodded approvingly and instructed Zhou Mo, "Tell Jiang Ge to tell Ning Lan to come to my office at 8:30 tomorrow."
Zhou Mo immediately called Jiang Ge.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Mo received a call from Feng Mo.
"Assistant Zhou, please tell Dr. Yu that the American patient received shingles virus-induced treatment upon returning to the United States."
"He developed shingles covering nearly 70% of his body. His persistent fever, exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, caused multiple organ problems. He ultimately died of cardiac arrest despite failed rescue efforts..."
Just then, the door opened and Zeng Yan came back happily with bags in her hands.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm back!"
"This is a gift from my elder brother and his wife..."
