Chapter Eighty-Six: Grandpa Zeng Arrives
Angelo's family is a very important force in the committee, and he is one of the candidates who have been identified as the leader of the next committee early, so Xiao Ruo naturally has an impression of him.
"What's the matter, Ruoruo? Haven't you ever been unhappy with them?" Li Muyun became nervous, if there was a conflict between his friend and his wife, it would be the most difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
Xiao Ruo shook her head, she and Angelo had only met a few times, and the conversation was limited to a simple greeting. She frowned mainly because of Angelo's father's youngest illegitimate son, Hawke.
Although Hawke was an illegitimate child, he was very fond of Angelo's father Defino, so he could be seen at many banquets. This guy is a hungry ghost, and I don't know how many girls are bad at his hands, so after seeing Xiao Ruo by chance, he began to entangle, and even dispatched the legion to which Angelo's family belonged.
That bit of strength was naturally not in Xiao Ruo's eyes, in order to save some face for Defino, she only ordered people to abolish that guy, at least not directly extinguished.
At this time, Li Muyun mentioned Angelo, Xiao Ruo remembered that disgusting guy, and his face was naturally not much better.
It's not that this matter can't be said, she is not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, as far as what she knows, Angelo is still good, she won't be angry for no reason, so she won't hide it, and she told Li Muyun directly.
Young Master Li was very angry, Angelo knew his relationship with Xiao Ruo, and even hid this matter from him, which made him feel a little angry, but after all, the two were good friends, so he still decided to go back and ask carefully.
"You don't have to worry too much. As far as I know, Angelo has long been out on his own, and Hawke has been following his father, and Angelo may not know about this. Friends have to trust each other, don't they?" Xiao Ruo saw his expression and knew what he was thinking after a little thought.
"Ruoruo-" Li Muyun was moved. How could he have such a smart and transparent woman? Xiao Ruo thought about him so much, he was a little at a loss.
Xiao Ruo glanced at him suspiciously, not understanding why he was suddenly so excited.
"What's wrong with you? What did I just say, you feel so emotional?"
Li Muyun was speechless, it would be better if she could be less sluggish in her feelings.
"Xiu, Mr. Xiao Qin is here." Xiao Ruo and Li Muyun were left in the room. Anthony always went out on his own, although he felt extremely uncomfortable every time, but if he stayed inside, he was really afraid that he would not be able to help but do something to get out.
Li Muyun was very satisfied with this, and he finally succeeded in PK getting rid of a rival in love.
"Why is Big Brother free to come over?" Xiao Ruo frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
Xiao Qin is a busy man. He is similar to Xia Guoqiang, he has been rolling in the system for several years, and now he is in charge of the application of desert plants with Xia Guoqiang.
"Ruoruo, Grandpa Zeng is back, you can go home with me." This time has been more familiar, Xiao Qin is not polite, and he will get to the point.
"Grandpa Great?" Xiao Ruo was even more confused.
"Look at me. It's grandma's father, Mr. Zhang Ze, he has been practicing medicine for free in the southwest some time ago, and he picked medicine by the way, and he only came back today, and when he heard that you got it back, he wanted to see you. Xiao Qin explained.
Xiao Ruo couldn't help but be in awe.
By age. Mr. Zhang should be about ninety, and he can still practice medicine for free at this age, this kind of medical virtue, she can only say that she admires. Moreover, the southwestern provinces have a vast territory and many mountains and forests. The demographic composition is complex, and the economy cannot develop. With the old man's medical skills and status, if he stays in the big city, he must have no worries about food and clothing, I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles will compete to seek medical treatment, but he went there to practice medicine, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but have a great impression of this great-grandfather who had never met before.
Although she is a guest doctor, she also claims to be a person with medical ethics, after all, she has heard a lot of corruption of medical ethics in the 21st century, so she pays great attention to this aspect, but compared with Zhang Lao, there is really a big gap.
It seems that this cooperation with the Zhang family has made more snacks. In the past, she was always afraid of being used by people with intentions in the country, or distorting her original intentions, but now it seems that with Zhang Lao, she shouldn't have to worry too much.
"When?" Xiao Ruo asked.
"Let's go over this time, it's just noon to eat together, the family is ready, Mu Yun will go over together."
Seeing Xiao Qin's ridiculous eyes, Xiao Ruo blushed angrily, while Li Muyun smirked, but was glared at again.
"Young Master Li is seriously injured, it shouldn't be convenient, right?" Xiao Ruo said angrily.
Xiao Qin noticed that Li Muyun's face seemed to be a little wrong, and asked nervously, "Muyun, what's wrong?" How can it hurt? What if you're okay?"
"Someone is self-inflicted, I'm fine, big brother don't worry." Xiao Ruo coldly sarcastically said to Young Master Li, who was still silly over there, and comforted Xiao Qin out loud.
Xiao Qin is not stupid, and immediately found that this matter seemed to be boring, so he skipped it and didn't mention it. The little couple made some small awkward troubles, but he still understood, but he still asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal, big brother, don't worry." Xiao Qin just admitted that his words made Li Muyun very excited, and he felt that he had no injuries.
"Let's go over together, then." Xiao Qin saw that his condition was okay and the time was not early, so he said.
With Xiao Ruo's medical skills, she was by her side at the time, Li Muyun of course got better quickly, it looked scary at that time, but it was not too serious, after a night's rest, she was quite energetic now.
"Anthony, you go to your grandfather's house to pick up Arthur and the others, and my eldest brother and I will go first. I'll have something to tell you when I come back in the afternoon, so go to my study then. ”
Xiao Ruo felt that Anthony had been very strange in the past two days, and he was quite worried about his housekeeper, but he didn't have time now, so he only said a word to him, and went out with Xiao Qin, who was supporting Li Muyun.
Of course, Anthony knew what Xiao wanted to say, and felt her concern, but he only felt bitter in his heart.
Seeing that the time was almost noon, the car drove all the way and soon arrived at the Xiao family's residence in Yuquan Mountain.
"You must be Ruoruo! Haha, good boy, come over and let Grandpa Zeng take a look. Zhang Ze was an old man with crane hair and a childish face, with a ruddy face and strong spirits, and when he saw Xiao Ruo and a few people coming in, he immediately shouted out excitedly before a few people saluted.
Everyone in the family is here, even Yang Bing is there, and there are children with them.
"Grandpa Zeng!" For Zhang Lao, Xiao Ruo didn't have much resistance, and she could also see the old man's joy from the bottom of her heart, so she saluted very simply and called Grandpa Zeng.
"Good, good!" The old man's beard was straight, he was already very happy to see a few children just now, and now he was even happier to see Xiao Ruo, the great-granddaughter who was lost when she was a child, and she looked so sensible.
"Okay, the people have arrived, and it's not too early, let's eat first. Dad, do you have anything to say to Ruoruo after dinner?" Zhang Yun glanced enviously at Zhang Ze, who was talking and laughing with Xiao Ruo, and reminded the old man.
Zhang Yun had only seen Xiao Ruo once, and she saw it the day after she returned from the Xiao family's mansion, although Xiao Ruo also called her grandmother, but she had never been to Yuquan Mountain since then. Zhang Yun really wanted to see his granddaughter and Arthur often, but he didn't dare to call them, so he could only nag Xiao Wangshan, which made Mr. Xiao annoyed recently.
Now that Xiao Ruo and her father get along so well, she is a little jealous.
Xiao Wangshan didn't say anything, his granddaughter had a stiff relationship with his family, and he couldn't help it, but he didn't approve of Zhang Yun taking the initiative to contact Xiao Ruo, she was an elder after all, what kind of system did she become? The problem of face must not be allowed.
"If you come to me." Xiao Ruo was about to sit down at the table of her generation, when Zhang Ze spoke.
"Dad, how can this be done? If it's a junior......" Xiao Wangshan hurriedly stopped.
Zhang Ze glared at him quite imposingly: "Wangshan, I didn't say you, it's a good thing to be polite, but you can't be formal." You see, as long as you are there, which of the children dares to speak up? I know that you are busy, so you don't need to come over to accompany me in the future, I will be with you in the future. ”
Xiao Wangshan smiled bitterly, he naturally wanted to listen to his father-in-law's words, but he couldn't imagine that after so many years, the old man still didn't give him face at all.
"Dad, you've been saying this for so many years, and I'm annoyed if you don't bother me." Zhang Yun came out to play a round for her husband, and gave Xiao Ruo a look, "Ruoruo, since your great-grandfather asked you to be next to him, you can come over." ”
Xiao Ruo was still in a daze, she actually felt quite relieved, but seeing her grandfather being reprimanded by Zhang Lao in front of so many people at such an age, she couldn't bear it, and when she heard Zhang Yun shouting at this moment, she answered yes and walked to Zhang Ze's side and sat down.
"Well, okay, if you want to accompany me more in the future, I'm old, your dad and they all have no conscience, and so are your brothers, and they are still girls." Zhang Lao despised everyone, and then looked at Xiao Ruo and said pitifully.
Xiao Ruo glanced at the Xiao family elders and brothers funny, knowing that the old man was angry for himself, and he was also implicitly interceding for them, but she didn't have any disgust.
"Of course, as long as Grandpa Zeng won't be idle and bothered me. Grandpa, they are very busy at work, and you don't know that they are responsible for many people, but they are not as idle as me. Xiao Ruo replied with a smile.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, he didn't mistake this girl, she was thorough at all, and she was sensible, atmospheric, and spoke very decently.
But he could also see that Xiao Ruo was very principled, she said that it did not mean that she would accept the Xiao family in its entirety, and Zhang Lao also understood it, but appreciated Xiao Ruo even more.
