After expressing his disdain, Xiang Chu hurried to ingratiate himself with his master.
"Master, I missed you so much."
Xia Weibao chuckled lightly, "Good boy, I missed you too."
Lion Tiger actually missed Xiang Chu more than him!
He was out of favor and felt a chilling malevolence towards the world...
"How’s my mom... How did you manage with her trouble? Is Zhong Wanshu’s condition getting better?"
Xia Weibao patted her chest—close call!
She almost revealed her relationship with Zhong Wanshu!
Luckily, she was quick to respond and diverted the topic.
Xiang Chu, unsuspecting of anything, honestly replied, "The hormones in her body have been cleared out, and in a couple of days, she can start the weight loss phase."
"Mhm, well done, you both have worked hard."
"Not hard at all, not hard at all." Xiang Chu eagerly sought credit, "Master, I’ve been very diligent lately, I’ve finished all the medical books you recommended."
Xia Weibao felt somewhat gratified. Xiang Chu had a good foundation and was willing to work hard—he truly was an excellent disciple.
"You’ve made great progress, keep it up—Hepburn has also improved a lot."
Previously, chatting with Hepburn was like visiting a zoo, but now he had improved so much that, apart from the words ’Lion Tiger,’ his pronunciation was impeccable.
Learning a new language is tough, which showed he really put in the effort.
Praised by Lion Tiger, Hepburn was so pleased he practically flew around her in circles.
"Lion Tiger Lion Tiger, I’m very smart."
That statement just revealed your intelligence...
"You’re both very impressive—keep it up. Soon, I’ll teach you new things."
Xiang Chu and Hepburn cheered, hugging each other in excitement!
Then they remembered they were rivals competing for favor!
So they quickly let go.
"Master, why did you go to Qinghua Village alone? Why didn’t you take us with you?"
Xiang Chu felt a bit wronged.
Seeing online that Xia Weibao had gone to Qinghua Village alone, he was beside himself with worry.
Yet with Zhong Wanshu requiring attention, he couldn’t leave.
Xia Weibao glanced at him, "With your abilities, you two probably would’ve lasted only two hours there."
Such heartfelt grief, rejected by the fierce tiger.
Coming out of the medical hall, Xia Weibao was preparing to head to the company.
She suddenly remembered hanging up on Yan Fei the night before, so she returned his call.
"Your Excellency the President, did you need me for something?"
On receiving her call, Yan Fei got a bit stirred up, even pausing the meeting he was in.
He walked onto the balcony.
"Why didn’t you say a word before leaving?"
Xia Weibao compressed her lips; she didn’t want to interact too much with Yan Fei and so her attitude was somewhat cold.
"I was busy that day."
Her voice kept him at a distance, making Yan Fei feel somewhat dejected.
"Your Excellency the President, may I ask if you needed me for something?"
"Yes, you found a solution for the epidemic, and the Medical Bureau wants to issue you an honorary certificate. When are you available?"
"There’s no need for that. I only helped the people of Qinghua Village because I wanted to, not for anything else.
Your Excellency the President, please convey a message to the Medical Bureau on my behalf. Instead of thinking about issuing me some honor, they better reflect on their medical practices.
Although Qinghua Village might be poor, their lives matter too. Locking people up like that, to speak bluntly, is devoid of humanity.
I have other things to take care of, that will be all."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Thinking about Xiang Minhai’s attitude at the time just made her angry.
How could someone as kind as Xiang Chu have a father like that.
