Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Lin Dong, How Are You So Amazing? Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Lin Dong, How Are You So Amazing? Not just Zhang Meilan was this agitated.
At the venue, almost all the women were similarly excited.
Some were even secretly hoping.
“Could I be that lucky person?”
People are always like this, when something lucky falls from the sky, everyone thinks it might land on themselves.
Even if they know the chances are almost impossible, they still can’t help but harbor a sliver of hope.
Zhang Meilan was the same!
She did have biological parents, and she also knew that it was almost impossible for the lucky person to be her, but she still couldn’t help daydreaming.
At that moment, under the stunned gaze of Qian Hao, she took out her phone and made a call to her mom.
“Mom, is there a chance that I’m not your and Dad’s biological daughter and that I’m actually adopted, right?”
Zhang’s mother was taken aback for a long time, then tentatively said, “Mei Lan, how did you find out about this?”
Hearing this, Zhang Meilan was instantly thrilled, excitedly saying,
“Mom, so I’m really not born to you and Dad! That’s great!”
She felt that this increased the odds of her being that lucky person by a smidgen.
Zhang’s mother was taken aback, saying, “Mei Lan, you really aren’t born to your dad and me, you are the illegitimate daughter of me and your Uncle Wang, sigh, this was something I never wanted to tell you in my entire life.”
“I never expected that you would find out on your own…”
Zhang Meilan: “…”
She was completely dazed!
And the voice of her mother continued:
“Mei Lan, you must never tell your dad about this, otherwise, he will beat me to death.”
“Bang!”
Zhang Meilan seemingly heard the sound of her dreams shattering.
She had never expected such an outcome!
After numbly hanging up the phone, she suddenly really wanted to cry.
Of course, the reason she wanted to cry wasn’t because her mother had an affair and gave birth to her, but because she couldn’t become the Bai Family’s treasured daughter.
Qian Hao saw all this and his mouth twitched.
He made a decision in his heart, planning to sleep with Zhang Meilan one more night after the evening banquet ended, and then dump her the next morning!
This woman, though somewhat attractive, was simply not all there in the head.
Such a woman, even if just for fun, should not be played with for too long, otherwise, there would definitely be regrets.
After the announcement by Bai Zhonglou and his wife, Bai Jue, who was standing at the edge of the cruise ship’s banquet hall, naturally heard it as well.
She looked nervously at Lin Dong.
Lin Dong smiled and asked her, “Sister Bai Jue, are you ready?”
Although Sister Bai Jue was somewhat uneasy, thinking that she would eventually have to face this, she nodded firmly.
“Yes, I’m ready.”
However, no sooner had she spoken than her stomach suddenly protested.
A gurgling noise issued forth.
Instantly, her face flushed red as she said, “Not good, I have a stomachache. I need to use the restroom.”
“Go ahead,” Lin Dong couldn’t help but laugh, “after all, even a fairy has to… ha ha…”
He restrained himself from saying the last two words.
With a flushed face, Bai Jue glared at him. Was he praising her as a fairy, or was he making fun of her?
Bai Jue went to the restroom.
Lin Dong was by himself at the buffet table, starting to enjoy some snacks.
The food here was indeed delicious.
It was much better than the steak at lunch.
That lunch steak hadn’t tasted very good.
Remembering the steak from lunch, Lin Dong again couldn’t help but think of Qiao Bing, and his heart soured instantly, feeling very uncomfortable.
As Lin Dong was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a voice.
“Divine Doctor Lin, you’re here too?” The speaker was Director Li of the Medical Inspection.
Beside him was also the owner of Southern Capital’s Grand Hotel, Chen Mingkai.
Both had previously made acquaintance with Lin Dong and now that they saw him, they came over to greet him.
In the outside world, Director Li was considered a person of high status and authority.
And Chen Mingkai was a well-known tycoon.
However, at tonight’s banquet, Director Li and Chen Mingkai were both just ordinary guests, seemingly inconspicuous.
But Lin Dong didn’t look down on them.
To Lin Dong, if someone showed him respect, he would return the favor. If others were friendly to him, he was naturally friendly in return.
Both Chen Mingkai and Director Li were very kind to Lin Dong, so Lin Dong was also very willing to interact with them.
The three of them casually chatted together!
While Lin Dong was chatting with Chen Mingkai and Director Li, someone was taking it all in.
That person was Zhang Meilan.
Zhang Meilan was surprised to see this, thinking to herself:
“This Lin Dong actually knows Director Li and Chen Mingkai, could it be that he got his invitation through them?”
In her confusion, she was surprised to see two more people heading towards Lin Dong.
Those two were none other than the renowned Divine Doctor of Southern Capital, Medicine King Zhuge Qingxuan, and his grandson Zhuge Lingyou.
“That’s the most famous doctor in Southern Capital, Zhuge Qingxuan, the owner of Medicine King Hall!”
“His status here at the evening banquet is considered venerable!”
Full of curiosity, Zhang Meilan wondered why such a venerable Medicine Elder Wang would approach Lin Dong? Could it be that Lin Dong knew him?
She perked her ears up, listening intently to their conversation.
“Apprentice Lingyou pays respects to the Master!”
At this moment, Zhang Meilan was shocked to hear Zhuge Lingyou utter such a phrase.
What is this?
The grandson of the Medicine King addressing Lin Dong as his master?
Are my ears broken?
This had to be a mistake!
Unconvinced, she straightened her ears even more and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation over there.
Immediately after, she heard the voice of Medicine Elder Wang.
“Young Miracle Doctor, starting today, let Lingyou follow you as an apprentice.”
“I concede that my Medical Arts are no match for yours, with you teaching him, I will have peace of mind for his future!”
Wow!!!
Hearing Medicine King’s words, Zhang Meilan’s mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a duck egg.
“It’s true, Zhuge Lingyou is taking up apprenticeship under Lin Dong! And the Medicine King even said his Medical Arts are inferior to Lin Dong’s!”
“Heavens, is Lin Dong really that amazing?”
