"Good, good! I'll call him right away and have him come over." Guan Xuewen nodded. Wei Zhao was right — reading a case file was never as direct as seeing the patient. Having Wei Zhao consult on Old Master Liu's case would be far better than studying it alone.
"Oh? The patient is nearby?" Wei Zhao asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, he lives right here in this compound — only a few minutes by car. Quick enough..." With that, Guan Xuewen picked up the telephone on the writing desk and dialed a number.
In the faculty residential compound of Songshan Medical University, inside a luxurious villa that rivaled Guan Xuewen's own residence, a young man in his twenties was speaking indignantly to a middle-aged woman.
"Aunt, how can Sun Jingyan do this? She's treating our Wu family as if we were nothing! We Wus are a martial arts clan, after all — one of the Four Great *** Families. What does the Sun family amount to? Just an upstart clan. My going to propose was already doing the Suns a great favor, yet that old man of theirs doesn't know how to appreciate it. He says he doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of the young and tells me to make my own efforts!" The speaker was Wu Chengtian, the most promising youngster of the Wu family's younger generation, hailed as the "Little Wu Iron Hand."
"The Sun family's business has expanded aggressively these past years, and they've built up connections in political circles too. Upstarts they may be, but they're already qualified enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the old established clans!" Liu Tianyi glared at his nephew.
"But Sun Jingyan and I grew up together! She's gone too far — taking up with some boyfriend behind everyone's back, and making a fool of me in public!" Wu Chengtian said resentfully. "If not for him, how would I have lost my wallet? How would I have ended up being looked down on?"
"All right, all right! Xiaotian, your aunt will help you!" Wu Huiru spoke up. "In any case, your uncle's father still needs to convalesce here for a while. Your aunt will set up a company for you, and show that Sun girl what the men of our Wu family are made of!"
"Thank you, Aunt..." Wu Chengtian was overjoyed. He had been at a loss in this unfamiliar city, but now, with his aunt's help, he was determined to build a career and show Sun Jingyan just how capable he was!
"Ring..." The telephone in the living room began to ring.
"Who could be calling at this hour? Tianyi, didn't I say to unplug the phone line at night? What if it disturbs Father's rest?" Wu Huiru complained at the sound of the ringing.
"Unplug it? What if there's an emergency?" Liu Tianyi shot his wife a glare.
"What emergency could there be? This landline came with the villa — it must be a wrong number looking for the previous owner!" Wu Huiru curled her lip. "Anyone who knows us would call our cell phones!"
"That's right, Uncle. Aunt has a point — just ignore it." Wu Chengtian had been happily discussing matters with his aunt, ready to work out in detail how, once the company was founded, he would win Sun Jingyan's heart — and now this blasted ringing had interrupted them.
Liu Tianyi frowned, ignored his wife and nephew, and picked up the phone. "Hello, good evening. This is Liu Tianyi."
"Tianyi? This is Guan Xuewen. Bring your father over now — I've invited a specialist, and we're going to hold a consultation for your father to see whether there's any hope of a cure." Guan Xuewen's voice came through from the other end.
"Yes, yes! Elder Guan, I'll bring Father over to visit right away! Thank you so much!" Hearing Guan Xuewen's words, Liu Tianyi nodded and thanked him repeatedly. That Guan Xuewen should take such pains over his father's illness filled Liu Tianyi with gratitude.
