"Boss, is it like they show on TV — one needle cures a hundred diseases?" Kang Xiaofeng asked curiously after hearing all this.
"It can certainly cure a hundred diseases, but my abilities are limited," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound. Saying acupuncture can cure a hundred diseases is an understatement, but those who truly master this art, who refine it to perfection, are very few indeed."
"Oh..." Kang Xiaofeng nodded. "Then Xiaofen's illness..."
"Her illness is mainly psychological. With proper guidance, she should be able to recover," Wei Zhao said.
Kang Xiaofeng had only been curious. Hearing Wei Zhao say this, he did not press the topic further. "Boss, why did you drag me away? I wanted to wait until Xiaofen woke up..."
"Didn't you see how unstable her emotions are right now? The moment she sees you, she thinks of Kang Jingming," Wei Zhao said. "Once she wakes up, do you want to set her off again?"
"That..." Kang Xiaofeng was struck dumb. How had he not thought of that? Indeed, both of Xiaofen's outbursts had been triggered by the sight of him.
"Once her emotions have settled, we'll come back and see her," Wei Zhao said.
"Oh. Then where are we going now? Back for the barbecue?" Kang Xiaofeng asked.
"Barbecue at a time like this? Tang Zhi is at the hospital — you'd still have the nerve to go back and eat?" Wei Zhao said with a bitter smile. "Another time."
"You're right... Still, today wasn't a total loss..." Kang Xiaofeng was thrilled at having had such "intimate" contact with Lan Zhi.
"What is that Kang Jingming to you?" Wei Zhao asked suddenly, once they were in the car.
Earlier, when Liu Xinlan had spoken the three words "Kang Jingming," Wei Zhao had noticed something off in Kang Xiaofeng's expression. And since the man resembled Kang Xiaofeng somewhat and shared his surname, it was not hard to deduce that the two must be related.
"Boss..." Kang Xiaofeng clenched his fists. "To be honest with you, he's the one I mentioned before — my great-uncle's youngest grandson, and my second cousin..."
"Just about what I guessed." Wei Zhao nodded. "Xiaobo, so what are you thinking?"
"I..." Kang Xiaofeng lowered his head and fell silent...
Wei Zhao did not press him for an answer, but quietly drove on...
...
Inside Gu Mengyao's villa.
"Xu Shilan's concert was really wonderful. If only I could have been there in person!" Shen Yushu switched off the television, still wanting more. "Yao Yao, why don't you talk to Uncle Chu and ask him to sponsor Xu Shilan to come give a concert here?"
"Daddy's company isn't some children's game. How could he just do whatever he likes?" Gu Mengyao gave Shen Yushu a smack. "Xiao Shu, is it a case of big chest, no brains with you?"
"My chest isn't big at all — it's you who's too small, Yao Yao! Qiu Lingshan's is what you'd call big!" How could Shen Yushu possibly think her own figure was abnormal? Hers was the standard build.
"What do you mean, too small? I'm just a late bloomer, all right?" Gu Mengyao was furious. "With a chest like yours, you'll be lugging those around before long!"
"Hehe... I wouldn't be so sure about that?" Seeing Gu Mengyao angry, Shen Yushu made a face and did not dare say more, hastily changing the subject. "Yao Yao, what should we do for fun?"
"How should I know?" Gu Mengyao was still angry.
"How about we go out shopping?" Shen Yushu suggested.
"No," Gu Mengyao said. On matters of principle she was far more sensible than Shen Yushu. "Last time we went to that bar, we nearly got into trouble. Daddy's company might be in some kind of fix — we can't go making more mess for him."
"Oh..." Shen Yushu sounded rather disappointed. "Arrowbrand Bro went out first thing this morning. If he were here, we wouldn't have to be afraid of anything!"
