"All done. Come back tomorrow for another acupuncture session, and you'll be fine."
An hour later, Wan Yunting removed all the silver needles from Guo Kainian's legs. He stood up and returned to his chair. Guo Liang, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately berated the sullen Guo Kainian, "Are you mute? Don't you say thank you to people?"
"Dad..."
"Slap!"
The response was a slap from Guo Liang on the back of his head. He scolded, "You unfilial thing! You just hang around with Han Yuze and his gang all day, indulging in extravagance. If your brother weren't still young, I would have handed the entire company over to him. Do I need a useless person like you polluting the environment at the company?"
"Dad, what are you saying? Can you give me some face..."
Guo Kainian felt wronged but dared not retort. However, with Wan Yunting, Director Li, and the nurses present, Guo Liang's reprimand made him feel particularly humiliated.
"Then why don't you thank Doctor Wan?" Guo Liang cursed. He had no intention of giving his wayward son face.
Looking at Wan Yunting, who was packing up his silver needles, Guo Kainian's eyes widened. He had always believed that this bastard had done something to him, causing his legs to be in this condition.
Wan Yunting, after tidying up the needles, looked up at Guo Kainian, who sat before him with a wronged expression, like he had eaten a fly. Finally, under his father's pressure, Guo Kainian gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you..."
"Heh heh..."
Wan Yunting responded with a sneer and then ignored him. He picked up his brush, ink, and paper, quickly wrote a prescription, and then went out to smile at Guo Liang, "Mr. Guo, this is the prescription. Go downstairs to the pharmacy and get three doses for him to decoct. He should drink a bowl of medicine in the morning and evening. Remember not to eat spicy or greasy food, or drink alcohol..."
"Mm, I understand."
Guo Liang took the prescription and then turned to Guo Kainian, who was sitting in a wheelchair beside him, and admonished, "Did you hear that? No more drinking outside from now on."
"Got it."
Guo Kainian said with a roll of his eyes, giving Wan Yunting a fierce glare before being pushed out.
"Then, Doctor Wan, I'll call you tomorrow," Guo Liang said.
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Guo."
Wan Yunting's attitude softened considerably. He walked Guo Liang out and watched him go downstairs. Back in the consultation room, Wan Yunting immediately took out his phone and called his second brother, wanting to confirm if everything Guo Liang had said earlier was true!
"Third brother, is something wrong?"
Wan Dongming, who was still at the company, answered the phone and asked.
"Second brother, Guo Liang, the chairman of Guo's Group, you should know him, right?" Wan Yunting said directly.
Wan Dongming was taken aback and nodded, "Yes, I know him."
Wan Yunting asked, "How is his relationship with our dad?"
"His relationship with our dad is quite good, I think," Wan Dongming said uncertainly.
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you remember if we ever got injured back then? For example, on the head!"
"On the head..."
Wan Dongming frowned. He recalled that during the three months Wan Yunting was in prison, their father spent every day looking for help outside...
"Yes!"
Remembering something, Wan Dongming said, "One day at noon, when he came back, he had an injury on his head. I asked him what happened, but he just said he was hit by a toy thrown by a child on the road, so we didn't press him further at the time!"
Wan Yunting nodded. It seemed Guo Liang wasn't trying to trick him, and he had no reason to. It was just that Wan Yunting wanted to confirm some things.
"What's wrong, third brother? Have you found any leads regarding your parents' affairs?" Wan Dongming asked.
"Yes, Guo Liang knows some clues, so I wanted to confirm," Wan Yunting nodded, then said, "Alright, second brother, I have something else to attend to here. I'll tell you if I have any news."
"Okay, take care of yourself."
After that, the two brothers hung up. Wan Yunting then dialed another number.
At this moment, Lin Gaofeng of Wuhu Group looked at his phone with surprise at the caller ID, which displayed Wan Yunting's name. He answered, "Doctor Wan, is there something?"
"Brother Lin, I'd like to ask you to help me investigate a business matter!" Wan Yunting said directly.
"What is it?" Lin Gaofeng was curious and didn't refuse.
"I'd like to ask you to investigate whether Guo's Group has any cooperation with Gao's Group in Shenzhen," Wan Yunting said.
"Just this?" Lin Gaofeng thought he was going to meddle in the affairs of that company.
"Yes, thank you. I'll treat you to a drink later."
"It's a small matter. I'll call you back later."
Lin Gaofeng smiled. Wan Yunting thanked him, and they hung up. However, less than five minutes later, Lin Gaofeng called him back, "Doctor Wan, I've found out. Guo's Group does have an overseas cooperation with Gao's Group in Shenzhen. I also found out that Gao's Group's Market General Manager, Gao Jiaming, is coming to Huadu tomorrow!"
Wan Yunting was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Gaofeng to find this out. He truly lived up to being Kang Hongwen's secretary.
"Thank you, Brother Lin."
Wan Yunting expressed his gratitude. Lin Gaofeng smiled and said, "It's nothing. By the way, Mr. Kang is asking if you're free tonight to have drinks at his place."
So it was Kang Hongwen helping him. However, Wan Yunting apologized, "I'm sorry, I have other arrangements tonight. Please tell Mr. Kang."
"Okay, I'll get back to Mr. Kang."
"Mm, that's all for now."
After hanging up the phone, it seemed that what Guo Liang said was all true. Then he would wait until tomorrow for him to take him to see Gao Jiaming!
"Brother Yunting, let's go eat!"
At this moment, Su Ke'er ran in and called out.
Wan Yunting looked at the time and realized it was already past six in the evening. He smiled, "Ke'er, do you want to meet my elder sister?"
"Ah, meet your elder sister?" Su Ke'er was stunned. Wan Yunting smiled, "What, scared?"
"Oh, Brother Yunting, why didn't you say so earlier? Look at me now, I'm not dressed up, nor have I prepared anything. How can I meet someone..." Su Ke'er wasn't scared at all; she just wasn't prepared.
"No need. We're just having a casual meal at home. You don't need to dress up or prepare anything special. If you really want to prepare something, then get some gifts for my niece, Wan'er. She really likes Peppa Pig," Wan Yunting said with a smile as he took off his white coat.
"Wow, Brother Yunting, you have a niece? Then we'll go buy her a gift later," Su Ke'er said happily, her big eyes shining.
"Mm, let's go now."
Wan Yunting nodded, grabbed his car keys, and led Su Ke'er out. However, this girl insisted on running back to the dormitory to change her clothes and put on some makeup before they drove away from the hospital together. They drove to a nearby toy mall, bought many Peppa Pig-themed gifts, and then headed straight for his elder sister's villa complex.
He had already called Wan Manyu in advance, so she was currently cooking in the kitchen, while their daughter was watching Peppa Pig in the living room. Hearing the doorbell ring outside, she shouted, "Mom, Dad's back..."
Wan Manyu, in the kitchen, felt a sudden jolt of panic. A chilling wind seemed to blow past her, making her hair stand on end, a feeling of dread creeping up her spine.
Wan Manyu was flustered. She knew perfectly well that the doorbell ringing outside wasn't Cheng Kai, but her third brother. So she tried her best to calm herself down, turned off the stove, walked out of the kitchen, and went directly to the yard to open the gate...
As expected, she saw Wan Yunting holding a large Peppa Pig plush toy, with Su Ke'er following behind him, her hands also carrying various gifts. Upon seeing Wan Manyu, who was dressed in a patterned home outfit, Su Ke'er appeared shy but still greeted her warmly, "Hello, sister..."
