Lin Xiao never expected that Wang Wei was unable to leave due to leading the tour, so Wang Handong would come in his son's place.
What she didn't know was that this elder really liked her; from her appearance to her family background, she was an impeccable daughter-in-law.
Moreover, if they could marry Lin Xiao, their son's future career would be doubly insured, putting their minds at ease.
Because Wang Wei was born and raised in Paris, he has a natural free and easy personality like the French, but lacks the hard work and perseverance of the older generation of Chinese.
Wang Handong often felt that he didn't expect his son to expand his business empire, but only hoped that his son could maintain the family fortune he had built up over half a lifetime.
If he could form a marriage alliance with the Lin family, with Lin Haitao's support in China and Lin Xiao's support as a virtuous and understanding wife, Wang Wei would have no worries about his future.
This is why he was so concerned when his son told him that Lin Xiao's friend had encountered danger while skiing and needed help.
Not long after Wei Changfeng's enhanced test results came out, and while everyone was discussing how to take the next medical measures more safely, Wang Handong, driven by his driver, had already arrived at the Albertville Municipal Specialist Hospital.
Lin Xiao was startled to see Wang Handong arrive in person and quickly went to greet him.
Wang Handong immediately comforted Lin Xiao upon seeing her, and then went with her to see the attending physician.
With this French citizen of Chinese descent who has lived in France for several years there to help handle everything, everyone felt much more at ease.
Wang Handong speaks fluent French and communicates smoothly with the attending physician. Before coming, he also consulted local French doctors and even Chinese orthopedic doctors in Paris, so he already knew a lot about Wei Changfeng's condition when the doctor introduced it to him.
The doctor advised that Wei Changfeng, with a relatively severe closed fracture, should undergo surgery locally before considering returning to China.
Especially after learning that the injured would have to endure a long flight of more than ten hours to return home, the doctors insisted on their opinion that no matter where they had the surgery, the wounds must be properly stabilized before they could travel for extended periods of time.
Wang Handong explained the situation to everyone and also introduced the opinions given by Chinese and French doctors he consulted in Paris, which were the same as those of the attending physician.
So Zhao Hui signed the informed consent form for Wei Changfeng's surgery, even though he couldn't understand a single word on it; Wang Handong helped translate it sentence by sentence.
With a local French guarantor, all procedures went smoothly.
After seeing Zhao Hui sign the surgical consent form, Wei Changfeng looked at him pitifully and said, "Should I write a will first? I heard that there's a one in ten thousand chance of allergic reaction and death from anesthesia."
Whenever he acts cute or pitiful, he looks like a weak and helpless puppy.
Zhao Hui's initial great anxiety was relieved upon hearing his words, because the contrast was simply too strong:
The man, who was so thin and tall that he looked like a long strip when he lay on the hospital bed, was now whimpering like a puppy. The scene was both heartbreaking and somewhat funny.
This was Wang Handong's first time meeting Wei Changfeng. He didn't know many domestic celebrities, and since the other party was lying in bed in a hospital gown, he didn't recognize him at all.
But looking at his sickly yet exquisitely handsome face, and his weak and listless manner, I couldn't help but murmur a soft compliment: "This child is really good-looking."
Hearing this, Wei Changfeng, who was sweetly cuddling with his agent, suddenly turned to Wang Handong and said obediently, "Thank you, Uncle. Everyone says so."
Lin Xiao, standing next to Wang Handong, was both amused and exasperated, unsure whether Wang Handong was truly seriously injured.
If you say his injury isn't serious, the doctor says he needs immediate surgery; if you say his injury is severe, he can still find time to hear others quietly praising him, and even manage to give a self-praise while obediently replying.
Before Lin Xiao and Wang Handong could speak, Zhao Hui couldn't hold back any longer: "Alright, alright, you're not going to die, just wait patiently for the surgery. But we don't know, does leg surgery require shaving?"
"What?" Wei Changfeng was suddenly shocked.
Prep is a necessary step in the surgical procedure, which involves removing all hair within a certain number of centimeters of the wound to prevent infection. If the injury is to the abdomen or legs, hair in important areas such as the lower abdomen often needs to be removed.
Wei Changfeng lay on the bed, utterly dejected, and said to his agent, "Brother, if they make me shave my skin, I really don't want to live anymore."
Zhao Hui glanced at him helplessly, then turned to Wang Handong and Lin Xiao and said, "Please tell the doctor that we are ready and can go into the operating room at any time to follow the doctor's instructions."
Surgery isn't something you can do whenever you want; it depends on whether the doctor has time, and you also need to fast, abstain from water, and meet all the required physical indicators.
As they walked, Wang Handong asked Lin Xiao hesitantly, "Is this injured boy your friend?"
Lin Xiao smiled politely. She dared not and did not want to get involved with such a popular man, as that would make her the enemy of many women.
So he said, "That person is a celebrity, how could we ordinary people possibly know him? But I do know his manager, Zhao Hui, the man who looked a few years older than him just now."
Lin Xiao rarely lies, but sometimes lying can solve many problems and save a lot of unnecessary explanations, so she occasionally does it when she has no other choice.
"Oh, she's a celebrity. No wonder she looks familiar. She's really good-looking, just different from ordinary people."
Wang Handong was still marveling at Wei Changfeng's appearance, because the moment he saw him, Wang Handong sensed a deep sense of crisis for his son: if that boy had some kind of relationship with Lin Xiao, it seemed that Wang Wei would have no chance at all.
