Chapter 346 - I’ll Handle It For You (3)
Luo Anning sat on the couch and covered her eyes with one arm before saying in a tone laced with disappointment, “I don’t know. Marriage is not a game and I want to manage it well too, but…”
In her memory, her father had always been a responsible man who would be able to put away his pride and spend time with his wife and daughter after work, regardless of how busy he was.
During the weekends, her father would take her and her mother out for some leisurely time together. He would be happy to do so even if they were just going out on a stroll in the park near their home.
On the other hand, her mother was her father’s best assistant, and a gentle, mild-mannered and virtuous wife.
Not only did she help him manage the company well, she also kept the household together.
She admired her parents’ tacit chemistry and loving relationship.
Catherine seemed to have seen through her thoughts as she picked up her mug of coffee to take a sip. She stared at the coffee table while enjoying the velvety texture of the coffee on her tongue.
…
“Good morning, Young Master Tang! Young Master Rong is waiting for you in the CEO’s office. Please enter,” the Secretary said smilingly while gesturing for him to enter.
Staring at the secretary’s face, Tang Chao whistled frivolously and said, “What a waste. It’s such a pity that a gorgeous girl like you has to stand so far away.”
Blushing shyly after hearing his compliment, the secretary looked down and said, “Young Master Tang, I still have some things to handle. I’ll be leaving now.”
Tang Chao smirked and sauntered into the office.
“Seriously, what’s the matter? You were so eager to summon me.” Tang Chao took a seat on the couch and stared at Rong Yan who was frowning.
“Xiyan’s right hand is crippled,” said Rong Yan.
Tang Chao stopped smiling and he asked, “And then?”
Rong Yan rubbed his forehead in frustration and said in fatigue, “Contact the overseas specialists. We must get her hand treated. She’s a doctor and her right hand is just like her second life because she uses it to hold her scalpel.”
Tang Chao murmured, “Why do you want me to do it? Does her right hand being crippled, have anything to do with me?”
“Chao!” Rong Yan yelled angrily.
“Yes!” Tang Chao answered instinctively.
Rong Yan sighed and stood up before walking towards the wine cellar. He poured two glasses of whiskey and walked back to the couch. “Xiyan only got injured because she tried to save Anning. I should be responsible for what happened to her. It’s only right for me to take care of her and the most important thing to do now is to treat her hand.”
He took a sip of alcohol after handing a glass to Tang Chao, and the burning sensation filled his throat.
Tang Chao grabbed the whisky but did not sip it immediately. Instead, he fiddled with it with his left hand and said, “If I remember correctly, Mo Xiyan’s mentor Zhou Zhong is a medical prodigy. Why bother hiring another specialist? Her teacher can solve her problems.”
Rong Yan squinted and heaved a huge sigh of relief. He rubbed his throbbing forehead and punched Tang Chao’s shoulder. “You really saved me a lot of trouble!”
He was so fixated on hiring a specialist to treat Mo Xiyan’s hand that he forgot about the fact that Mo Xiyan’s mentor who brought her overseas back then, was a prodigy in the world of medicine.
If Zhou Zhong were to find out that his best disciple’s right hand was crippled, he would definitely rush back immediately to perform the surgery for her.
With that issue solved, Tang Chao raised his glass, but before he could even take a sip, Tang Chao’s phone suddenly started ringing.
