Chapter 108 Moving into the Tao Family
"Second Brother, Headmaster Tao, Miss Tao, you still have school tomorrow, so go back and rest first! I'll take care of things here."
Wan Qiqi felt that having a group of people gathered around was pointless; they could only wait idly, so it was better to leave her there alone. Tao Jing had stayed since the afternoon, fulfilling her duty as a friend.
“The night is long, and his fever won’t go down. He’ll be busy tonight. How can you, a woman, bear it?” Wan Ziyan disagreed with leaving Wan Qiqi alone.
Wan Qiqi said, "There's also Doctor Ge, so there's no need to worry."
Wan Ziyan retorted again: "It's even more unacceptable for a woman like you; it would damage your reputation."
Wan Qiqi glanced at him and felt that he had the potential to be a contrarian, refuting everything he said.
What's wrong with taking care of a patient?
Her reputation is already ruined, so what difference does a little more make?
Tao Jing then added, "Sister Wan, how can you, a woman, be out with two men? It damages your reputation."
Wan Qiqi raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the three faces as if asking: So what do you plan to do with me? Leave the patient here and go back to sleep with you?
Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and it seemed there was more than one person; they were getting closer and closer.
Wan Qiqi turned around and saw the two people behind Ge Langzhong; her pupils dilated instantly.
What's going on? Two more of them?
She couldn't help but wonder what Ah Jiu had said when he went to her house to deliver a message that would make Chen Yongnian and Chen Yongxing rush to the town overnight.
"Second brother, why aren't you at home taking care of Mother and your wife? What are you doing here?" Wan Qiqi's face darkened, and her gaze fell on Chen Yongnian. "Didn't I tell you to rest at home before I left? Why didn't you listen!"
Wan Qiqi's imposing presence startled everyone present.
Tao Jing thought to herself: Sister Wan is so domineering!
Tao Ran frowned slightly, looked at Chen Yongnian, and felt that he and Chen Yongnian were truly in the same boat, and his goodwill towards him immediately increased.
Wan Ziyan then realized something was wrong. It seemed that his younger sister was the one in charge in the Chen family, not the one being ordered around by these people.
Chen Yongnian lowered his head silently, not daring to speak.
Chen Yongxing avoided his gaze, then glanced at Chen Yongliang, who was unconscious on the bed, and continued, "Sister-in-law, we were also worried about you and Third Brother. How can we be at ease with Third Brother's current condition?"
Wan Qiqi's expression remained somber. She didn't respond to his question but instead asked, "What will you do now that Insect Girl is in trouble?"
“Sister-in-law, Doctor Sun came to see me today. My wife is fine and will be alright.” Chen Yongxing stepped past the crowd and looked at Chen Yongliang, saying, “But third brother, you are in the most danger right now, aren’t you?”
Wan Qiqi did not refute it, but that was indeed the truth.
Taking the opportunity, she said to the other three, "Now that my husband has come, you can all go back in peace, right?"
Chen Yongnian's appearance left everyone speechless and powerless to refute.
Seeing that the three of them still didn't move, Wan Qiqi asked again, "Headmaster Tao, if you come home late, will you be able to enter the house?"
Tao Ran, having his tail stepped on by Wan Qiqi, could only sigh, "Fine! Let's go back first and come back tomorrow."
He led Tao Jing a few steps outside, and seeing that Wan Ziyan hadn't followed, he asked, "Ziyan, aren't we coming?"
Wan Ziyan's gaze lingered on Wan Qiqi, then turned to Chen Yongnian, meeting his eyes, and said, "Since two people have come, why don't Qiqi and Ajing go back to the Tao family? Why do the three of you need to squeeze in here?"
Wan Qiqi wondered, what is Wan Ziyan up to? Why is she living in the Tao family's house?
Chen Yongnian then said, "I agree. My wife, you may go back to Miss Tao, but my second brother and I will stay here."
Wan Qiqi glared at him. She was a patient herself, so what right did she have to take care of others?
Chen Yongxing chimed in, "That's right, sister-in-law, you must be tired after a long day. Why don't you go back and stay with Miss Tao?"
Tao Jing was happy to let Wan Qiqi move in, as she needed someone to talk to.
Tao Ran and Wan Ziyan stared at each other for a long time before Tao Ran helped Wan Ziyan persuade Wan Qiqi to rest.
Finally, seeing that the group was going on and on, Doctor Ge gave them a push and got Wan Qiqi to agree to sit in the Tao family's house.
The Wan family and the Tao family were separated by only two households. Wan Ziyan escorted the person to the Tao family before leaving.
The Tao family home is about the size of the Hefeng Academy, with elegant and grand decor that makes people feel comfortable as soon as they step inside.
Wan Qiqi had visited ancient towns before, and the Tao family's house felt similar to the old houses in the ancient town, but with even better scenery.
Tao Ran was quite surprised by Wan Qiqi's reaction.
Although the Wan family in Wanjia Village is considered a small family with very good conditions in the village, it is still far behind the wealthy families in the town.
Unexpectedly, Wan Qiqi remained nonchalant about these matters, as if she had seen it all.
Therefore, Tao Ran became more curious about Wan Qiqi; this person seemed far more mysterious than they knew.
"Cough cough!" A cough interrupted Tao Ran's thoughts. He looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing outside the hall.
Without saying a word, he strode over, a smile spreading across his face, and obediently called out, "Wife."
Tao Ran grinned and said, "Sister-in-law!"
Wan Qiqi looked over.
The woman was dressed in a plain-colored long dress, standing gracefully with an elegant demeanor; she was clearly a lady from a prominent family.
A faint smile appeared on her lips as she softly called out, "Madam Tao."
Madam Tao, Luo Lan, smiled faintly and glanced at Tao Ran. "You didn't announce your guest beforehand? The guest rooms haven't even been cleaned!"
Tao Ran pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.
If it weren't for Wan Ziyan, how could he have suddenly brought him back? It's all his fault!
When Wan Qiqi saw it, her eyes nearly popped out of her head!
The person before me was both obsequious and coquettish, completely different from the Tao Shanzhang I had met before.
Luo Lan was standing there, speaking gently and politely, yet she had Tao Ran completely under her thumb.
