"The key issue is, I’m still his wife in name, and I still need to take care of him at the hospital, even if it’s just going through the motions, it makes me feel disgusted."
Whenever Liu Chao was mentioned, Wang Xiru’s face was full of loathing; she really seemed to detest Liu Chao to the utmost.
"By the way, how’s everything going with your grandfather’s matter? How much longer will it take to sort out?"
After chatting for a while, she didn’t continue to talk about Liu Chao. Changing the subject, she asked about my grandfather’s situation.
So I told her the truth, that there hadn’t been any progress recently; it was a complete mess.
She comforted me kindly, telling me not to worry, to keep searching slowly, and that if the person exists, we would find him sooner or later.
Honestly, I am quite anxious, as I don’t want to stay in that city for too long.
I spent a day with Wang Xiru and also made time to keep Aunt Wu company.
Three days later, I returned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall.
I was counting on the chance that massage therapy might increase my odds of finding someone,
but to my dismay, those who came for massages were basically old ladies and gentlemen; I had no choice but to settle for asking them for information.
Having nothing better to do, I wandered around the villa complex, hoping to get lucky.
That afternoon, as I was sitting at the door idly basking in the sun, a woman walked over.
She hesitated at the door for a long while before coming in, looking at me with a puzzled face and asked, "Young master, where is the old Master Li that used to be here? Are you new?"
I took a closer look and couldn’t help but be taken aback.
This was a young mother holding a child, very beautiful, full of the charm of a young matron, and dressed very brightly and stylishly, obviously from a wealthy family.
She had a pair of frogskin glasses on her face, and at first glance, she looked like a big star.
At first sight, I found her very pretty.
At second glance, I felt a strange sense of familiarity.
I suddenly remembered, wasn’t this the daughter-in-law bullied by her father-in-law that Liu Yueyue and I encountered on the slide the other night?
Never thought I’d see her again.
In my mind, I was involuntarily reminded of those big and white...
While thinking, my eyes involuntarily scanned the neckline of her dress.
Truly an overwhelming beauty, ravishing beyond words.
No wonder that old guy couldn’t resist.
What man wouldn’t be moved by such a woman?
She exuded a noble air that was innate, not only displayed in her attire but more so in her demeanor and tone.
Especially her height, which was tall.
Wearing high heels, she must be over 1.75 meters tall.
The old master she was mentioning was a famous person here, an old Chinese medicine practitioner with skilled hands.
I definitely didn’t know him, but I heard he got caught in bed doing something he shouldn’t have with a female client by her husband and now who knows where he’s skedaddled to.
The woman pursed her lips, seemingly a bit hesitant.
As she passed by me, I caught a whiff of a faint orchid fragrance.
That unique aroma swayed my heart unwittingly.
Elegant and refined, fragrant without being cloying, probably just .
She wore a purple dress which perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.
Indeed, purple has a more flavorful taste.
Around her neck, she wore an emerald necklace, and on her wrist, a delicate ladies’ watch.
They didn’t look ostentatious, but I knew they must be of considerable value.
She seemed to be a woman who cared greatly about her appearance; her whole attire was meticulous.
Honestly, this is the first time I’ve met such an exquisite woman.
Even the wealthy Sister Ying couldn’t compare.
After all, some things are innate; money can compensate for some of it but not much.
"Is it you who’s feeling unwell, or the child?"
I took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Well, my child’s digestion isn’t great, often leads to indigestion. I’ve come here before for Master Li’s massage, and it worked well, so I thought..."
The woman slowly began to speak, her voice gentle and her tone refined.
It gave me a sensation of being caressed by the spring breeze, making me feel completely at ease.
