Chapter 629: Grace of Life
ing portrayed as some kind of god, but I think it's all a bit exaggerated."The ripples blinked and said."Don't you like him"Duanzongqing asked directly."I don't like him! He doesn't like me, why shoul..."Father, please rest assured! I can still distinguish what is light and what is heavy. Besides, she knows about my engagement and has proactively avoided me several times, refusing my invitations. This time, if it wasn't for the chance encounter with her while I was making rounds, I might have been in real danger."
At this moment, Zhang Xuetou was even more inclined towards Yun Siyu because of her understanding and maturity.
"It was me who had her make the call. She should have confirmed her surroundings were safe before contacting home, and to avoid suspicion, she hasn't returned to the Zheng family's residence. That's because she doesn't want to put me in an awkward position."
Before that, she didn't even know I was your son, she just thought I was an ordinary playboy.
Zhang Fenglin heard his son's obvious attempt to speak well of the other party. Although he didn't show it on his face, he started thinking about it in his heart. He didn't blindly contradict his son, but instead smiled and said:
“Hearing you say that, she seems like a good girl. Meeting her was purely coincidental, and this time she saved you again. We can't just let it go. You have injuries and can't move around easily now. I'll arrange for the butler to send her some things first, and then we'll see what we can do to improve her work environment. What do you think”
"Father, don't frighten her, and please don't make a big fuss. Siyu saved me not for repayment, doing this will only embarrass her. It's better to be low-key. I'll thank her in person when I'm feeling better."
Zhang Xuetao said it naturally.
"Alright, you two are friends. I won't interfere with how you handle this. However, before your injury fully recovers, our Zhang family must show our appreciation. Otherwise, if we do nothing, people will think you're ungrateful. You were saved and then went silent - that wouldn't be appropriate."
Zhang Fenglin stated directly.
"My father said, 'Then you arrange for someone to represent the Zhang family in apologizing first. I'll apologize personally once I'm healed. That way it will be more sincere.'"
"Good, my son is becoming more and more prudent in handling things now."
After praising his son, Zhang Fenglin let the weary-looking son rest first and left the bedroom.
The moment Zhang Fenglin turned around, his face changed. He went into his study and directly ordered:
"Butler, look into this 'cloud silk rain' that the young master mentioned."
"Yes, sir, do we still need to send a gift of thanks to her"
"Of course we should send something. We can't let Tao feel like we don't value this nurse. Once you find out more, I'll think about what kind of appropriate gift would be suitable."
"Yes!"
Just as the two of them finished speaking, the doorman came to report that Miss Duan had arrived.
"Please have her come in."
R ripples wore a light purple dress today and came to Zhang's residence in NN City with her violet bird. When she saw Zhang Fenglin waiting for her, she was slightly surprised, then politely greeted him:
"Hello, Uncle Zhang!"
"The ripples are here! Have you come to find Xuetao"
“Yes, Uncle. We were supposed to try on the dress tomorrow, but I'm afraid it might be too rushed. If something isn't right, we wouldn't have time to make changes. So I wanted to come today and see Xue Tao. Is he not here I called him last night, but he didn't answer.”
The ripples spoke somewhat uncertainly.
"Hi! It's nothing major, I was going to keep it from you. Since you're here already, your father decided to tell you himself so you wouldn't guess and hurt the feelings between the two of you."
Zhang Fenglin said with feigned helplessness.
"Xuetao, what's up"
He was ambushed last night and shot, but he's past the danger now after a morning of recovery. He just took his medicine and went to sleep.
"What"
Ripple pretended to be startled, then her face turned white instantly. She stood up abruptly and said anxiously:
"Where is Brother Xuetang I want to go see him, and I won't disturb his rest."
"I'll have the butler take you there."
Ripples pretended to be a little weak-legged, and Ziyuan immediately stepped forward two steps, supporting her arm, then followed the butler into Zhang Xuetao's bedroom.
Looking at Zhang Xuetao who was already fast asleep, Lian Ri walked over gently, lightly touching the other's hand, her eyes immediately becoming red.
Then she took the opportunity to feel his pulse. It was strong and forceful, just a little slow, clearly showing he was deeply asleep. Anything about him having just escaped danger was a lie.
After making sure the other party was alright, Lian Yi pretended to be heartbroken. She held the other person's hand and wiped her tears for a while before being helped out of the bedroom by Zi Yan. Then, with red eyes, she said goodbye and mentioned that she would go back and tell her father, vowing to catch the culprit who hurt Xue Tao's brother.
As the ripples of news left the Zhang residence, an hour later a carriage arrived at their doorstep laden with gifts and medicinal herbs.
Duan Jia's statement made Zhang Fenglin very satisfied. He also believed that someone wanted to sabotage the marriage between their families. If his son really died on Duan Zongqing's territory, he would definitely turn against the other party and take secret action. The person behind this was trying to kill two birds with one stone: they killed a person and made the two sides clash, further destabilizing Xia Guo.
After that, NN city became tense. Checkpoints at the entrances and exits were strictly enforced, and many plainclothes officers were running around the alleys, investigating suspicious individuals. For a time, everyone was on edge, and people spoke more cautiously.
Everything happening outside was unknown to Yun Si Yu. After waking up from her nap and having a quick dinner, she rushed off to take over the shift. The outgoing nurse was eager to leave work, so the two only exchanged a few brief words before she departed.
Then Yun Siyu went to work with peace of mind, until after 10 pm. When the hospital was quiet, Zhang Guanjia came to find Yun Siyu with his people.
Hello, is this Nurse Yunsiyu
"May I help you, sir Would you like to see a doctor I can call one for you."
Yun Si Yu had never met Zhang Guanjia before, so she addressed him in a professional manner.
"No need, I am Zhang's steward. I came here today especially to see you."
Zhang Guanjia politely said.
Yun Si Yu's eyes flashed, and she knew the other party's purpose. However, she still spoke calmly and confidently:
"Zhang Guanjia, because I'm at work and can't leave for too long, if you have anything to say, please be brief."
Then, he led the person into the adjacent treatment room.
"The big boss instructed us to send a gift as a token of our gratitude for saving the young master when he was in the most danger."
Immediately, the butler waved his hand, and a small box appeared on Yun Si Yu's table. Upon opening it, they found gold bars inside.
Yunsi Rain furrowed her brow, then said calmly:
"Thank you for your kindness, General. I saved Young Master Zhang because we knew each other before. I couldn't just stand by and watch him die, and I didn't save him for the money."
"If the Cloud Nurse said that, could I understand it as you not accepting the gift because you want the young master to owe you a favor Is that what you're doing for him"
Zhang Guanjia said without being polite.
"You"
wisps of cloud and rain gathered, then she took a deep breath and said in a cold voice:
"Zhang Butler, I know that your young master is going to marry into the Duan family, and I have no intention of disrupting this. I won't pester Young Master Zhang any further. Since you've said so much, I'll accept this gift."
In two days, I will leave NN city. I will not hinder any of you, and I hope that you will show mercy.his family members together, including the grandchildren. Then he explained the current situation, including the news that the eldest and youngest had picked up in the county yesterday, and asked ever...
