Chapter 52 Revisiting Li Zhong
"This is definitely not the case." Xia Liu couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, Fang Fei really had a keen eye, she could even see this.
"Forget it, I thought you were interested in Xue'er. Before she left, I took the opportunity to take some candid shots of her, originally planning to send them to you to keep, sigh, never mind." Fang Fei played with her phone while sighing.
"Sister Fang, do I look like that kind of person?"
"You very much do!"
"Then why don't you send them to me!" Xia Liu, putting on a raffish air, looked at Fang Fei, saliva almost dripping out, partly joking and partly serious, after all, he didn't know when he would meet Huang Xue again, keeping her candid photos as a memento seemed like a good idea.
"Heehee, see, exposed, huh? You can have the photos, but first you have to accompany me to a place." Fang Fei smiled brightly, she knew Xia Liu would put on such an act.
"Where to?"
"To daddy's house."
"Let's do that another day." Upon hearing they were going to Li Zhong's house, Xia Liu refused without a second thought, he didn't think Li Qinqin would be polite.
"I'm not only sending Xue'er's candid photos but also mine." Seeing Xia Liu refuse, Fang Fei shook her phone and looked seductively at Xia Liu.
"Sister Fang, that's not right to say, I'm definitely going, it's been several days, I want to see how Qinqin is recovering."
"Sure, we're going to see Qinqin, let's forget about the photos then."
"Come on Sister Fang, can't I admit I was wrong?"
"Character!"
Laughing joyfully, Fang Fei completed a transfer to Xia Liu and then drove off towards the county government.
Li Zhong's house was bustling today, Director Lin Hongsheng and several doctors were present, all invited by Li Zhong.
At the arrival of Xia Liu, Li Zhong was thrilled to death, and so was the familiar Lin Hongsheng. This promising young man, who had cured hereditary diseases with just a few needles; if it wasn't for the matter of identity, Lin Hongsheng would have knelt down to apprentice himself.
"Wife, go call Qinqin, tell her Fang Fei and Divine Doctor Xia are here!" Li Zhong shouted happily to Xu Fang.
Li Qinqin had been resting at home for many days, her body had long since recovered, during which she had gone to the hospital for a re-examination, and sure enough, her disease had completely healed. However, Li Zhong wouldn't let her go out, so she had locked herself in her room for several days.
Upon hearing that Xia Liu and Fang Fei had arrived, Li Qinqin quickly came out from her room. After greeting Fang Fei, she grabbed Xia Liu by the collar: "I'm going to gouge out your eyes!"
This sudden action stunned everyone present, and only Fang Fei knew the context. Li Qinqin was a very traditional woman, and having been seen naked by Xia Liu, it was no wonder she was furious. Last time she was too weak from her illness, today catching Xia Liu off guard, it wouldn't be Li Qinqin if she didn't take the chance to teach him a lesson.
Unmoved by Li Qinqin's attack, Xia Liu leaned back, hugged Li Qinqin, then lay on the couch, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't hit him.
"Qinqin, what are you doing, stop it right now!" Seeing his daughter attack Xia Liu, Li Zhong shouted furiously, feeling as though he had lost all face.
Not to mention his daughter and Xia Liu hugging and cuddling; the main point was that Xia Liu was their benefactor. Without Xia Liu, it wouldn't be long before their family fell apart. Now his daughter was attacking their benefactor directly.
"Qinqin, get up quickly. How could you hit Divine Doctor Xia!" Xu Fang was also anxious. Both her and her daughter's illnesses had been cured by Xia Liu, and now her daughter was hitting Xia Liu in a fit of madness.
Lin Hongsheng and his colleagues were extremely embarrassed, not knowing what had happened. It seemed like they were watching a young couple squabble.
Only Fang Fei had a clear view of the situation. Xia Liu's hands kept hovering around; Qinqin was actually presenting herself to be bullied...
"Mom, he, he..." Li Qinqin struggled to get up from Xia Liu and with a mournful face, didn't know how to explain. Was she supposed to say that he had looked her over or that he was groping her just now?
"You little fool, shut your mouth. How dare you hit Divine Doctor Xia?" Xu Fang sternly reprimanded Li Qinqin and then hurriedly apologized to Xia Liu.
Just then, a young man walked through the open door. As soon as he appeared, he greeted everyone present, "Mayor Li, good, Director Lin, good, Auntie, good."
"Eh, isn't this Young Master Liu?" Li Zhong said in surprise, remembering that he had met him in the city when he was still working there, visiting a pharmaceutical company.
"Mayor Li can just call me Liu Mang. I just returned from America today and came here to see you before even going home," Liu Mang said with a beaming smile, scanning around, finally fixing his gaze on Li Qinqin and Fang Fei.
"Giggle, what a fitting name, 'rogue.'" Seeing Liu Mang staring at her, Fang Fei couldn't help laughing out loud. This guy looked decent but what a name he had...
"Hehe, Miss, you're mistaken. Liu is the Liu from Liu Bei, and Mang means radiance," Liu Mang was not offended. Given that his name was prone to misunderstanding, having Fang Fei, a beautiful woman, joke about it made him even happier.
Xia Liu could feel that ever since Liu Mang appeared, Li Qinqin seemed distracted and seemed lost in thought.
"Haha, let me introduce, Liu Mang, the heir of Liu Pharmaceutical..." Li Zhong explained Liu Mang's identity with a naively happy grin.
"Liu Pharmaceutical, that's a well-known pharmaceutical company in the city!"
"I heard they are also preparing to collaborate with the state!"
"That's a truly powerful pharmaceutical company indeed!"
"Right, Young Master Liu is also a medical student and just returned from America today. He probably brought back a lot of important clinical experience!"
The colleagues of Lin Hongsheng started to discuss excitedly. They were very familiar with Liu Pharmaceutical since many of the medicines in the hospital were supplied by them. Seeing the heir of Liu Pharmaceutical today made them quite excited.
Listening to the people discussing him, Liu Mang's smile widened. This feeling was very pleasurable for him. However, he was quite dissatisfied with Xia Liu's expressionless face, not to mention that he was still holding a knife peeling an apple!
"Qinqin, my study in America was to find a cure for you," Liu Mang said earnestly to Li Qinqin after the noise around had subsided.
"No need, I've already gotten better," Li Qinqin didn't want to deal with Liu Mang. For some reason, Liu Mang gave her a very sinister feeling, a feeling she had since their first meeting years ago.
"Qinqin, you don't need to be like this. I brought back a very advanced set of equipment this time, which can definitely cure you," Liu Mang finished, attempting to take Li Qinqin's hand.
Unexpectedly, Li Qinqin moved to Xia Liu's side and then clung to his hand, "My boyfriend has already cured me. You don't need to go to any trouble."
"Boyfriend?" Liu Mang, as well as everyone else at the scene, was taken aback. Just as Li Zhong was about to speak, Fang Fei stopped him.
In fact, Li Zhong knew that Liu Mang had been interested in his daughter for several years. With this incident now, letting them resolve it themselves might not be a bad idea.
