Chapter 547: Chapter 547
"Guide, you're too kind. I really envy you!"
"Hehe, what's there to envy?"
"While other men at your age get called 'sir' by female teachers every day, you really do get called 'sir' by them every day. Or maybe I should say, while others call for a teacher, you have the teachers calling for you."
Xiang Wenhua burst into laughter, so loud it sounded like a pig's squeal, before clinking his teacup with Liu Zhizhong's and downing his drink in one gulp.
Liu Zhizhong managed to lighten the mood successfully and naturally followed suit, emptying his cup.
After refilling their teacups, Xiang Wenhua continued, "It was only that night after seeing the photo of Ma Qingqing that I truly differentiated and began to feel more and more that she bore the shadow of Li Xuerui, as well as my own. After all, I've had a DNA test done and she is indeed my daughter."
"Moreover, I just flew back from the UK yesterday. I went there to get the truth from Li Xuerui. Faced with such facts, she too shed tears... Sigh..."
"She told me the truth and is ready to face the facts. However, she is now a professor of biology at King University, working on a very sophisticated project at a critical time, so she can't come back to see Qingqing for the time being."
"However, we've decided that Qingqing's surgery will be done at the British Royal Hospital. Tomorrow, all the procedures will be sorted. The chartered flight leaves tomorrow night."
"I'm shocked..." Liu Zhizhong began, but quickly nodded in agreement, "Hmm, that's good, too. Qingqing will get better rehabilitation and medical care. Maybe... this is also convenient for her mother?"
"Yes, Fang Xue, Li Xuerui. A mother's connection to her daughter is natural. Throughout the years, having watched Huainan grow up, she has missed her daughter and feels very guilty. We will do our utmost to provide compensation."
"If Guide and Professor Li think this way, that's truly a joyous ending for everyone. It's just..." Liu Zhizhong said, but still managed a bitter smile, "Ma Xudong, my former leader, is still in prison, and..."
Xiang Wenhua raised his hand to stop Liu Zhizhong from speaking and said, "That's precisely what I was going to talk about. This time when I went to the UK, I talked with Huainan and Li Xuerui. Huainan is very grateful for the way we brought him up and believes he should remember his biological father's kindness. When the summer holiday begins, he'll visit Ma Xudong, but not here in the country."
"Ah? What do you mean? Guide, are you planning something again?"
Xiang Wenhua smiled, "I've got Ma Xudong's files, all detailed. So, I've decided that on the same chartered flight to the UK with me and Ma Qingqing tomorrow, he must be on board. The relevant people are helping me handle this matter. Moreover, Ma Xudong's cancer may not be a big issue once we're in the UK."
Liu Zhizhong was truly delighted, lifting his teacup, "That's wonderful! Thanks to Guide for such a powerful move and your influential family!"
Xiang Wenhua also raised his cup and said, "Zhizhong, no need for such formality. Xiang somebody always speaks with emotional and rational appeal. Don't always call me 'Guide' either, casually is fine, call me Brother Wen Hua, or like Qingqing, you can call me Uncle Xiang!"
"Uh... Hehe..." Liu Zhizhong was taken aback, slightly embarrassed, "That... Secretary Ma has always looked favorably upon my relationship with Qingqing. Ah, to say I don't like Qingqing, that would be untrue. But I have a wife, alas..."
Xiang Wenhua chuckled and said, "It doesn't really affect things. I'm someone who values feelings and reason, and I'm not just puffing myself up. Look at me, my heart belongs to Feng Xiaoyue, but it doesn't interfere with my substantial relationship with Li Xuerui; she knows and she agrees. Young man, you should think bigger!"
"Oh, hehe... sure, sure, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you..."
Liu Zhizhong was truly excited and agitated. With such an assertive figure like Iron Fist advising him, what was there to hesitate about?
The power of the Xiang family was beyond his imagination.
Even a hardened criminal like Ma Xudong could be flown out of the country for medical treatment. Wasn't that an immense display of power?
"But remember one thing. After returning to Hu Yang Province, explain all this to Yueyue, and I hope she can forgive my youthful ignorance. Also, I hope she can understand everything considering how busy she's been with Qingqing for so long, right?"
"Of course, Guide..."
"Are you still calling me 'Guide'? Call me 'brother', call me 'uncle'!"
Overall, Liu Zhizhong's interactions with Xiang Wenhua were truly becoming better and more harmonious. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Liu Zhizhong's trip to the south had achieved its purpose, and everything was satisfactory.
As the two chatted, Liu Zhizhong's hungry stomach started to misbehave, rumbling loudly.
Understanding the reason, Xiang Wenhua actually got up and prepared six dishes for him. The two sat down to eat together, of course without drinking alcohol. Xiang Wenhua mentioned that he wanted to keep his bone marrow in the best condition for his daughter's surgery.
Having such a biological father, Ma Qingqing must be happy, right?
However, after finishing the meal, Liu Zhizhong still said, "Brother Wen Hua, how are you, Professor Li, and Secretary Ma going to balance the emotional dynamics between Huainan and Qingqing later on?"
