So You're Such A Doctor Song - Chapter 429
Chapter 429: Li Zhongchi Wanted To Curse. Why Couldn’t He Tell That He Was So Useless?
Shen Liu said with a smile, “Binbin, don’t scare her.”
Li Shaobin glared at Li Zhongchi as he endured the pain at his thigh. Really, he was having such a rare sweet moment with Ruan Yang during breakfast. Why must they join in?
Li Zhongchi completely ignored his gaze and continued to study Ruan Yang. He even captured some nervousness within her eyes, but now, she was as calm as water. “Miss Ruan, I’ve heard Binbin mention you several times and I’ve always wanted to meet you. I didn’t expect that we would bump into each other so coincidentally. How do you find the breakfast here?”
“It’s pretty good.” Ruan Yang nodded. “The view is good too.”
Shen Liu smiled and said, “Binbin, did you stay with Miss Ruan last night? I didn’t see you return to the Li Household and I was told that you didn’t return to the villa in the northern area either.”
Li Shaobin said shamelessly, “Yeah, I slept at her place last night.”
Ruan Yang felt her face heating up unnaturally. Was there a need for him to be so straightforward?
Li Zhongchi was silent for a while before he said, “Bring Ruan Yang home if you have the time. Grandma is getting old. She’s been nagging about you.”
“Oh, alright,” Li Shaobin agreed and he lowered his head to start picking out the coriander for Ruan Yang.
Li Zhongchi said, “Your sister-in-law doesn’t like to eat coriander either. Why don’t you pick it out for her too?”
“No, I only do it for my woman. Sister-in-law is your woman. You should do it yourself.” Li Shaobin didn’t even look at him and put the stewed noodles in front of Ruan Yang.
Ruan Yang took a few bites, put it aside, and began to eat the fruit salad.
Li Shaobin ate her leftovers with gusto and seeing his brother like that made Li Zhongchi rub his glabella with frustration. It looked like his brother would become a slave to his wife sooner or later.
After Li Shaobin and Ruan Yang were done, he wiped his mouth and said, “Bro, we’re done, so we’ll make a move first. You pay.”
“Let’s wait for your brother and sister-in-law.” Ruan Yang held him back. It didn’t seem very appropriate to leave just like that.
“If you say so.” Li Shaobin sat back down obediently.
Li Zhongchi wanted to curse. Even if the little brother whom he doted on for so many years didn’t listen to him, there was no need for him to listen so well to a woman. Why couldn’t he tell that he was so useless?
He took a sip of porridge slowly on purpose and asked casually, “Right, Miss Ruan, have you any idea when you want to get married?”
Ruan Yang was speechless. These two brothers were always so straightforward when it came to marriage. “Mm… I think I will let nature take its course.”
“What’s considered nature taking its course?” Li Zhongchi asked. “I only got married to Binbin’s sister-in-law after dating for three years.”
“I think the period doesn’t matter,” Ruan Yang said. “Some couples are together for seven to eight years but they might not know each other well. I don’t think the period matters. What’s important is whether you can feel the other party’s heart.”
Shen Liu smiled and interrupted, “Then can Miss Ruan feel our third brother’s heart? He’s the precious treasure of our family. Ever since he was young, nobody could bear to let him be disadvantaged.”
Upon hearing that, Li Shaobin looked at Ruan Yang with anticipation. He also wanted to know the answer to that.
Ruan Yang took a sip of tea and felt her body warming up as she said softly, “He’s really good to me. I don’t know how he treats others, but it’s fine as long as he’s good to me.”
Li Shaobin nodded sweetly. “Yangyang, don’t worry. I’ll definitely be 10 times better to you in the future.”
Ruan Yang smiled and held his hand. Li Shaobin was already dumbfounded. He really wanted to chase Li Zhongchi away. “Bro, how long exactly are you going to take?”
“Are you in a rush?” Li Zhongchi glanced at him lazily and ignored him as he continued to ask, “I heard Miss Ruan has already left the entertainment industry. What are your future plans? Will you still return to the entertainment industry?”
“I don’t think so.” Ruan Yang thought for a while and said, “I haven’t considered that yet. It’s too cold in the winter. Let’s wait for winter to be over.”
Li Zhongchi: “…”
Shen Liu let out a laugh. “Miss Ruan is really humorous. However, the weather is so cold that it does make one feel like staying at home. That’s great too. It’s not a big deal if you want to be a housewife in the future.”
“I might do something I like,” Ruan Yang said with a smile. “But I haven’t thought through it yet.”
“It’s okay, take your time. Only, if you’re with Shaobin, I’m afraid the Li Family wouldn’t approve of your return to the entertainment industry,” Li Zhongchi said gently. “Miss Ruan, please don’t take it to heart. I just say certain things in advance.”
“Big Brother.” Li Shaobin frowned. “I won’t disapprove of anything Ruan Yang does. Yangyang, don’t you mind my brother. He can’t make the decisions. I’m the decision-maker in our family.”
Li Zhongchi wasn’t angry either. He merely looked at Ruan Yang lightly.
Ruan Yang smiled and told Li Shaobin, “It’s okay.”
“Alright, we’re almost done.” Li Zhongchi finally stood up. “I’ll pay for this meal. It’s not very busy in our house lately; Miss Ruan can come over anytime for dinner. I believe our family members would all look forward to seeing you too.”
The four parted at the car park. When Ruan Yang got into the car, Li Shaobin said anxiously, “Yangyang, don’t be angry, and don’t mind what my bro said…”
“It’s alright. I understand your brother’s concern.” Ruan Yang patted his hand gently.
“Aiya, it’s not like that. His concerns don’t matter. What matters is that even if you returned to the entertainment industry, I’d still be with you,” Li Shaobin said. “If worse comes to worst, I’ll be a bodyguard like Old Yan and stay by your side every day.”
“Don’t be silly; I won’t return to acting. Don’t worry. I’m already… tired of that place,” Ruan Yang said. “I might open a Western food restaurant when I regain my memory and make some pastries in the kitchen. It might be quite interesting too.”
“That’s fine too. I’ll go over there to eat every day,” Li Shaobin said with a grin. “Yangyang, I still have a meeting at Li Hall. Do you want to go over to Li Hall with me to take a look?”
“Nah, it’s too cold. I’ll go home,” Ruan Yang said.
Li Shaobin didn’t force her and went to Li Hall immediately after taking her home.
Hu Zhi saw him walking with a spring in his step and hurried over. “Boss, someone caused trouble in the winery last night.”
Li Shaobin’s face sank. “Who’s tired of living and dared to cause trouble on my territory? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Hu Zhi glanced at him and said softly, “It’s Qin Xian. He got food poisoning from the food in our shop. The police came over last night and detained Old Ma from the kitchen. The manager got him out this morning but yesterday was the most crowded day of the week. Our recent business will definitely be affected.”
“F*ck. Isn’t Qin Xian that b*stard who always follows Xin Ziao around? He did it on purpose.” Li Shaobin’s face became ashen. He wasn’t especially angry. After all, the loss of one winery wasn’t significant to him. He was just angry that Xin Ziao had a part in this.
“Xin Ziao’s moves are quite obvious,” Hu Zhi said. “I reckon… he wanted to warn you. It looks like he really cares a lot about Ruan Yang.”
“Heh, would I be afraid of him?” Li Shaobin said. “If he makes trouble with me, I can also make trouble with him at his company branch. Let’s see who’ll have the last laugh.”
Hu Zhi’s head hurt. “Boss, must the two of you bite at each other like this?”
“What bite? I’m not an animal.” Li Shaobin hit his head. “Make trouble with his mom. I don’t like the look of that Wang Yuting. I heard she’s pretty fond of playing with investments. Find a way to swindle all her money and find a way to make Wang Yuting and her husband get a divorce.”
Hu Zhi stared wide-eyed at him. “Boss, that’s too sinister. Would that trifle the Xin Family? Are you sure Old Master Li wouldn’t beat you up?”
“That’s why you must make sure you do it without a trace. It’s alright if they suspect us, but as long as there’s no evidence, it’s all empty words.” Li Shaobin went to his meeting happily after saying that.
Hu Zhi watched his retreating back and felt his head hurting. Li Shaobin came up with such a foul plan to make his hurt again.
———————-
After the meeting, Li Shaobin went back to his office.
What happened in the morning made him feel defeated. He used to think that those kinds of things were very simple but he didn’t expect himself to retreat in defeat right after he started his invasion.
He had to do some research.
After looking for a long time and flipping through several books, he felt his heart starting to boil the more he looked. F*ck, when you didn’t learn about those kinds of things, you really wouldn’t know, but once you started learning, it really got intense.
Because he was too absorbed in his reading, Hu Zhi only knocked and entered when night fell. “Boss, didn’t you say that you were going back to the Li Household for dinner? Aren’t you leaving yet?”
“Oh, right.” Li Shaobin suddenly remembered. He switched his computer off reluctantly and returned to the Li Household for dinner. He’d go to Ruan Yang’s house earlier after dinner so that he could practice the new knowledge he had just learned.
…
However, when he was at home waiting for dinner, he began to feel frustrated. “Why isn’t dinner served yet? Hurry up; I still have something to do after dinner.”
He Mingshan was angry. “What do you have afterward? You sound as if you’re the president of the country. I haven’t even seen you around all day long.”
“You don’t know anything. All of you don’t know anything.” Li Shaobin only wanted to quickly finish his dinner and go.
“I don’t know anything? Do you think I don’t know? You want to see Ruan Yang again, right?” He Mingshan was vexed. Her son was the type who didn’t stay once he had a girlfriend. In the past, she was hoping he would find a girlfriend as soon as possible. Indeed, a mom would always feel conflicted.
When Li Xiaoxia, who was at the side, heard that, he snorted loudly at Li Shaobin.
“Stop snorting.” Li Shaobin was very delighted. He rubbed his head and said, “Ruan Yang will be your aunt in the future. You have to be filial to her, do you understand?”
