Chapter 21: Xiangxiang Pavilion is Smashed

  PS: The ending of the previous chapter has been modified a bit. Friends who have read it can take another look, don't say whether it connects with the previous chapter or not.

  After returning from Xiangxiang Pavilion, Wang Xu lay in the dormitory, feeling a little annoyed. Bainong Xin had offended those scammers to prevent him from being taken advantage of, and those guys would not let it go so easily. This matter must be settled. Bainong Xin was just a restaurant owner and an outsider, and he couldn't withstand the harassment of those guys. Letting others bear the consequences for himself was also not Wang Xu's style.

  However, when Wang Xu first came to Yun City, apart from knowing Zhang Yimeng and Yun Chong, he didn't have any connections. As for Miao Runfeng, Wang Xu didn't think that curing someone's illness was a big favor.

  "Hmm, this is all Cloud's doing. Tomorrow, go to Cloud's house and take a look around, see if he has any ideas?" After lying in bed for a while, Wang Xu made up his mind that Cloud must have had a reason for deliberately exposing those two swindlers, so there should be a way to deal with them properly.

  The next day was Sunday, and Wang Xu happened to be off duty. After having breakfast in the morning, Wang Xu went out to buy some nutritional supplements and first went to Guo Haiyun's home.

  It's been a month since I came to Yun City, and Wang Xu still hasn't gone to Guo Haiyun's house. To say the least, it's a bit embarrassing.

  Guo Haiyun lived in the hospital's family dormitory, Wang Xu knew the address and easily found it. Guo Haiyun opened the door, saw that it was Wang Xu, and hurriedly smiled and welcomed him in, complaining: "You kid, you came but didn't call ahead of time."

  "It's just a holiday, and I thought I hadn't been home yet, so I came over to take a look." Wang Xu said with a smile.

  Guo Haiyun has a son and a daughter, his daughter got married early, and his son doesn't live with the old couple either. Instead, their little grandson is left here for Guo Haiyun and his wife to take care of.

  Guo Haiyun's partner had eaten breakfast and taken the child out to play, leaving only Guo Haiyun at home. She led Wang Xu into the living room, where she was brewing tea, and complained: "You've come, so you've come, what's the point of buying things?"

  Guo Haiyun said, putting the tea in front of Wang Xu, with a smile: "However, you've come at just the right time today. Later, Liu Qiancheng from Gaochuan Province is coming, otherwise I would have left too."

  "Is Liu Lao coming too?" Wang Xu was taken aback and asked in surprise.

  "Yes, I've known Liu Lao for a long time too. He arrived in Yun City yesterday and called me this morning to say he's coming over." Guo Haiyun smiled and nodded, asking puzzled: "How do you know Liu Lao?"

  "Liu Lao I don't know, but I met Liu Lao's newly accepted disciple last night, who was my roommate in college," Wang Xu explained.

  "Haha, so that's how it is." Guo Haiyun nodded and smiled, asking: "Then you should also know why Liu Lao came to Yun City."

  "I heard it's about He Minhua of Yunhua Group." Wang Xu nodded.

  "Ah, it's all because of He Minhua." Guo Haiyun nodded and said: "He Minhua's illness is quite strange, I heard that Yun Lao also went to see her a while ago."

  "Didn't Yun Lao diagnose it correctly?" Wang Xu asked, feeling quite surprised. Yun Chong's medical skills were among the best in the entire Jiangzhou Province, yet he couldn't even diagnose He Minhua's illness?

  "Yes, Old Yun didn't do a good job either. Not just Old Yun, all the famous doctors in Jiangzhou have gone to diagnose He Minhua, but unfortunately no one was able to cure her." Guo Haiyun said, this illness of He Minhua's is being kept secret from outsiders, and many famous doctors have returned without success, now it has become a topic of discussion among many famous doctors in Jiangzhou.

  Two people were talking in the living room when the doorbell rang outside. Guo Haiyun smiled slightly and said, "It must be Old Liu who has arrived." After speaking, she hurried to open the door.

  It was Liu Qiancheng who came, and behind him was a young man about the same age as Wang Xu, who was Wang Xu's roommate Peng Shan.

  "Ha, Wang Xu you're also here!" Peng Shan exclaimed in surprise as he saw Wang Xu in the living room.

  "Yes, today is a holiday, so I came to visit Grandpa Guo." Wang Xu also stood up and smiled at Peng Shan, then looked at the old man in front of Peng Shan: "Liu Lao, just now Grandpa Guo mentioned you."

  "Come, Old Liu, let me introduce you. This is one of my younger colleagues, Wang Xu. He's young but his medical skills are not bad at all. He's only been in Yun City for a month, but he's already making a big splash at the First Affiliated Hospital." Guo Haiyun hastily added from the side.

  "But what about that Wang Xu who cured Miao Runfeng from the Yun City Health Bureau with just one dose of medicine?" Liu Qiancheng asked with a smile.

  "It just so happened that I cured Miao Tuanzhang, and it's actually made Liu Lao laugh." Wang Xu hastily said, he didn't think that Liu Qiancheng would know about him curing Miao Runfeng.

  "The young man is humble." Liu Qiancheng smiled and looked at Wang Xu: "Last night, I was chatting with Lao Yun about you, and I specifically took a look at the few prescriptions you wrote. At such a young age, you have achieved so much, it's impressive."

  "It was actually Wang Chong who told me." Wang Xu couldn't help but smile wryly, these older generation of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were quite sociable and had connections with each other.

  However, this can be understood. Although a wave of traditional Chinese medicine has risen across the country since the beginning of the new century, truly capable traditional Chinese medicine doctors are still in the minority, especially among the older generation of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, there are only a handful who know and understand each other.

  Liu Qiancheng also couldn't stop praising Wang Xu, and Guo Haiyun was even more delighted. After Wang Xu defeated Wang Chenlong, Guo Haiyun was still worried that Wang Xu would be expelled, but unexpectedly, Wang Xu cured Miao Runfeng's illness with a single dose of medicine, which was truly unexpected.

  Because of Wang Henian's relationship, Guo Haiyun always treated Wang Xu as his own grandson. Seeing Wang Xu grow up, he also fulfilled his wish.

  Wang Heyan's medical skills are exquisite, but he is now hiding in a small place like Qingfu County. In Guo Haiyun's opinion, this is a complete loss for the traditional Chinese medicine community. Wang Xu's current medical skills can be considered to have reached a high level. If he could make a name for himself nationwide, it would not be considered a waste of Wang Heyan's medical skills.

  Liu Qiancheng was very talkative. Several people sat in the living room, chatting and laughing, time passed quickly, and before they knew it, they had been talking for more than two hours.

  Guo Haiyun looked at the time and it was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon, her husband had not returned yet, fortunately she led Wang Xu and others to have lunch together.

  As they went downstairs, Guo Haiyun and Liu Qiancheng walked in front, while Wang Xu and Peng Shan followed behind. In the living room, due to Liu Qiancheng's presence, Peng Shan had been very polite and hadn't whispered much to Wang Xu. Now that the two were lagging behind, Peng Shan suddenly spoke softly to Wang Xu: "Xiao Xu, I heard Yang Han is also in Jiangzhou."

  Wang Xu, who was walking downstairs, heard Peng Shan's words and suddenly froze. He then recovered and looked at Peng Shan calmly, saying: "Don't mention Yang Han in front of me from now on."

  "Xiao Xu, actually Yang Han she..." Peng Shan was about to say something else, but was abruptly interrupted by Wang Xu: "If you want to be my friend, don't mention her in front of me."

  "Alright." Peng Shan sighed helplessly, he had heard the news last night and was thinking of telling Wang Xu today, but he didn't expect Wang Xu to have such an attitude.

  "Whatever, I won't bother with their affairs anymore." Peng Shan muttered to himself, feeling a deep sense of helplessness. The relationship between Wang Xu and Yang Han was indeed complicated enough.

  "Yang Han!" For this whole year, Wang Xu had been deliberately trying to forget this name, and he thought he already had, but today hearing Peng Shan mention it in front of him, his heart felt a wave of annoyance.

  As for Yang Han, Wang Xu couldn't quite put his finger on the feeling. If he said he had feelings for her, that wasn't entirely true; if he said he didn't have feelings for her, that also wasn't entirely true. For this girl who had taken his first time in a confusing and unclear way, he always felt a deep sense of loss.

  With this episode of Pengshan on the way, Wang Xu's mood obviously fell a lot. At the dinner table, he drank a lot of white wine. If it wasn't for Pengshan pulling him aside, Wang Xu would probably have drunk himself under the table.

  After dinner, Wang Xu was a bit dizzy even though he hadn't drunk too much. Peng Shan personally escorted Wang Xu back to his dormitory. Seeing Wang Xu's sudden loss of spirit, Peng Shan couldn't help but feel some regret. Maybe he really shouldn't have mentioned Yang Han in front of Wang Xu.

  After Peng Shan left, Wang Xu slept in the dormitory until 4 pm before waking up, and his head still hurt a little.

  After getting up, he washed his face and drank a cup of water, only then did Wang Xu feel a little more awake. He couldn't help but smile wryly to himself - this was the second time he had gotten drunk, and it seemed like the first time was also because of Yang Han.

  "Yang Han!" As soon as he thought of Yang Han, a figure emerged in Wang Xu's mind - a lovely young girl wearing a white dress, with long black hair casually tied back, and a sweet smile on her face that revealed a pair of captivating dimples when she laughed.

  "Not a fellow traveler." Wang Xu muttered in a low voice, changed his clothes and walked out of the dormitory.

  Just as Wang Xu walked down the dormitory building, he ran into Han Yixue who was also going downstairs. Han Yixue was also on break today and wore a light yellow casual short-sleeved shirt and shorts, wearing a baseball cap, seemingly planning to go out for exercise.

  "Dr. Wang is going out too?" Seeing Wang Xu, Han Yixue smiled and greeted him.

  "Yes, I plan to go out and take a walk." Wang Xu smiled and nodded.

  "Any plans? If not, want to play tennis together?" asked Han Yixue with a smile.

  "No, I'll just go take a walk around Yun Lao's place." Wang Xu smiled and shook his head.

  "Go to Yun's old house!" Han Yixue was taken aback for a moment, and smiled: "Just right, I'll pass by Yun's old house on my way, wait for me for a while."

  As she said this, the key in Han Yuxue's hand pressed lightly, and a silver-white Ferrari not far away let out two soft beeps, which was exactly Han Yuxue's car.

  When Han Yixue said so, Wang Xu did not refuse either. He smiled and got on the car, and the two of them left the dormitory gate together.

  "Huh? Wait a minute?" As the car passed by Xiangxiang Pavilion, Wang Xu subconsciously glanced to the side and saw that the neon lights on top of Xiangxiang Pavilion were dangling in mid-air, the glass door was shattered, and the inside was messy, clearly showing signs of having been smashed.
