Chapter 725: [(725)] Secrets slipped out Chapter 725: [(725)] Secrets slipped out Zhu Huicang became proud, “Whether a man knows how to date has nothing to do with looks.”
Otherwise, why would it be him, Zhu Huicang, who got married before the handsome Cao Yong.
“Aren’t you going to think of a solution for Cao Yong?” Li Xiaobing criticized her husband for not being loyal enough to his brother.
The doorbell rang, Huang Zhilei and Wu Lixuan arrived.
Everyone gathered. At lunchtime, everyone surrounded the big round table, with a hotpot set up in the middle.
“Come on, don’t be shy.” Zhu Huicang, responsible for setting the atmosphere, got up and invited the old classmates to eat on behalf of everyone.
Li Xiaobing gave her husband a look: asking Cao Yong to cook some food for her.
Without the need for them to direct, Cao Yong had already grabbed a strainer to help everyone cook their food. Considering the junior sister was quite thin, he cooked more meat for her.
After chatting with childhood friends and then turning back, Xie Wanying saw her bowl was nearly piling into a small mountain of meat, which scared her, “Senior Brother, that’s enough. It’s too much, let others eat.”
“If you think it’s too much, put it back in his bowl. Who let him serve you that much?” Li Xiaobing egged her on.
A deathly silence fell over the dining table.
The Senior Brother was kindly serving her meat, how could she treat it that way in return. Xie Wanying felt embarrassed down to her toes.
Huang Zhilei snickered, nearly spraying cola from his mouth: At last, there was someone even worse at playing matchmaker than him.
Cao Yong puzzled over why the IQ of the old classmates, husband and wife, seemed to have dropped.
This mess could only be cleaned up by him. Picking up the serving chopsticks, Cao Yong moved half of the untouched mountain of meat from the junior sister’s bowl into his own, asking, “Would you like to eat something else?”
Xie Wanying then sent Cao Yong a surreptitious glance: There was someone at the table who seemed to need looking after more than anyone else.
It was Zhao Zhaowei. Because he was sick and couldn’t eat a lot of meat, Zhao could only eat a little lean meat and more vegetables.
Cao Yong gave his junior brother a look: Should I say something?
Zhao Zhaowei waved his hand, no need, no need, coming to Senior Cao’s home for a meal was enough to brag about in front of his classmates.
“Did you argue with your grandfather?” Unable to keep hospital news under wraps, Zhu Huicang pointed his chopsticks at Zhao and said, “Your grandfather said you’ve become quite capable.”
“No. Senior Zhu, it’s not that I’m capable, it’s just that my grandfather’s mind got a bit muddled because of my issue,” Zhao Zhaowei said.
“Feeling any better?”
The concern from his Senior Brother made Zhao Zhaowei very happy, “Yes, much better.”
“Mm-hmm.” Zhu Huicang put down his chopsticks, reached out and patted Zhao on the shoulder comfortingly, “You work hard from now on. The priority is to get well first. If you have any grievances, just speak up directly to that Tao person, following your Senior Cao’s style.”
“I know he’s not like Senior Cao,” Zhao Zhaowei said dejectedly.
“You’ve forgotten, your Senior Cao learned from him in the beginning. Don’t think nonsense on your own, how could he possibly not actively help you with your treatment.”
“Didn’t Senior Cao fall out with him later on?” Zhao Zhaowei inadvertently let slip a secret, scaring himself enough to shrink back.
The dining table went quiet.
Zhao Zhaowei regretted it to death in his mind. He had only heard about this affair from his grandfather. As to the specific reasons behind their fallout, all the informed parties kept tight-lipped. His grandfather warned him, never to bring it up in front of Cao Yong.
As two of the hospital’s surgical stars, each holding key positions in two famous surgical departments in the hospital, both Cao Yong and Tao Zhijie are considered recent prides of the eight-year program’s history. The two men are of similar age. Tao Zhijie, being one year senior to Cao Yong and having gained fame earlier, surely must have his own merits to have mentored such a talented junior.
