Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1318 Change of Mind

  Wang Zhengdao slowly let go of Xu Chunliang and sat back in his chair. No matter what, he should not vent his anger on Xu Chunliang. If it were not for Xu Chunliang, he would have personally caused an inhumane human tragedy. How would he, his children, and the entire Wang family have the face to face the world?

Wang Zhengdao's gaze returned to the appraisal result again. Being always suspicious, he began to question the authenticity of the appraisal result.

Xu Chunliang said: "In fact, the best way is for you and Mei Ruxue to do another appraisal."

Wang Zhengdao's voice was low and hoarse: "Why did you think of identifying them?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Out of curiosity, I always feel that the Qiao family is not good to Mei Ruxue. Qiao Rulong is so disappointing, but he still gets the family's favor. No matter how sensible Mei Ruxue is, she can't get the protection of her family. If it's just because she is Qiao Yuanshan's illegitimate daughter, it doesn't seem to make sense. At first, I just wanted to investigate the relationship between Mei Ruxue and the Qiao family, but her parents are gone, and Qiao Rulong is not in Dongzhou. Instead, it is most convenient to take Wang Jiancheng's sample, so I helped them do an identification by the way, but I didn't expect the result to be like this."

Wang Zhengdao's heart was bleeding. He was basically certain that the appraisal report sent by Xu Chunliang was authentic. If he wanted to confirm his relationship with Mei Ruxue, he only needed to do another appraisal. Now it seemed that there was no need for this at all. As Xu Chunliang said, unless Wang Jiancheng was not his biological son.

Wang Zhengdao could guarantee this point without a doubt because he had done a paternity test. He began to try hard to recall the past. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. How could he be so confused? Why had he never doubted the relationship between Mei Ruxue and himself?

Xu Chunliang said, "There is no hatred without reason in this world. Originally, the engagement between Wang Jiancheng and Mei Ruxue had been cancelled. Why did you suddenly bring up the past again, and after Wang Jiancheng's car accident? Is it because you think your son's car accident is related to the Qiao family? You knew that Mei Ruxue was just an illegitimate daughter, but you chose her as the target of revenge. There must be other stories behind this."

Wang Zhengdao sighed, which was tantamount to acknowledging Xu Chunliang's guess.

"Although I don't know what happened specifically, someone must have deliberately guided you to do this. With Mr. Wang's wisdom, he shouldn't have fallen into someone else's trap." Xu Chunliang could conclude that there must have been an unclear and bloody relationship between Wang Zhengdao, Qiao Yuanshan and Mei Xiqing, which led to the current chaotic situation.

Wang Zhengdao felt a pang of pain in his heart. He was undoubtedly being tricked. The person behind all this knew long ago that Mei Ruxue was his daughter. He had vaguely guessed how vicious this person was that he actually set up a scheme to have his daughter marry his son.

"Xiao Xu, I hope no one else knows about this."

Xu Chunliang looked at Wang Zhengdao: "What's in it for me?" Wang Zhengdao obviously believed the appraisal report, so he softened his attitude and begged Xu Chunliang to keep the secret.

Wang Zhengdao said with difficulty: "If, if your appraisal report is true and correct, I am most likely her father. I... I admit that Mei Xiqing and I had a relationship, but I didn't know she was pregnant, let alone that the child in her belly was mine." It has come to the point now, and concealing it has become meaningless. It is better to be honest with the young man in front of him.

Xu Chunliang sighed and said, "You were quite messy when you were young." Needless to say, both Wang Zhengdao and Qiao Yuanshan had a relationship with Mei Xiqing, and both had negative distance contact.

Wang Zhengdao did not mind Xu Chunliang's teasing. He was now completely confused. If Xu Chunliang had not revealed the truth in time, he would have made a big mistake. Mei Ruxue was his daughter, but he had known nothing about it for more than 20 years. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more distressed he felt. The Qiao family had treated his daughter so unfairly. In the past 20 years, he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father at all.

Xu Chunliang said: "If you are willing, you can provide me with a sample and I will find someone to identify your relationship as soon as possible. Of course, if you don't believe me, you can find someone to check it yourself. I can keep it confidential for you, but not without conditions."

Wang Zhengdao whispered, "Don't worry, I will cancel their engagement and try my best to make sure there are no flaws."

Xu Chunliang said: "It is impossible to be perfect in this world. Why do you want to target Mei Ruxue? If someone deliberately led you to do this, then this person must have known the truth long ago."

Wang Zhengdao stood up tremblingly, as if he had aged a lot in an instant. He came to the French window, no longer domineering. He put his hands on the French window and whispered, "Thank you, I want to calm down."

Xu Chunliang had already achieved his goal, so there was no need for him to stay. He pointed to the appraisal results on the table and said, "Take your time to think about it. I'm leaving now."

After Xu Chunliang left, Wang Zhengdao pressed his forehead against the French window and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Qiao Yuanshan, I know you are still alive..."

Old Mr. Wang was packing up to return to the capital with his grandson when Wang Zhengdao quietly walked in.

Wang Laodao: "Zhengdao, I haven't seen you all day, what have you been doing?"

Wang Zhengdao pursed his lips and said, "Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

Mr. Wang saw that he was in a bad mood and couldn't bear to blame him any more: "If you have something to say, just tell me."

"Dad, I've thought about it over and over again these past few days. I may have made a mistake in arranging Jiancheng and Xiaoxue's marriage. You're right. We should respect the choices of young people."

Mr. Wang looked at his son in surprise. What happened today? His attitude took a 180-degree turn. In fact, Mr. Wang had always been reserved about this marriage. He also knew that his son had the intention of revenge by facilitating this marriage, but since everything had been decided, he was too lazy to object.

"Have you told Jiancheng?" Wang Zhengdao shook his head: "I plan to discuss it with you before telling him."

Mr. Wang said, "I am old now. I don't want to interfere in the emotional affairs of young people, nor can I. You two should just discuss it."

"Dad, you are right. I was a little extreme in my actions and didn't consider things comprehensively. I only cared about the reputation of our Wang family and ignored the feelings of the Qiao family, which invisibly caused damage to the relationship between the two families."

Old Wang said calmly: "It's not that serious. Your uncle Qiao is also an open-minded person. Zhengdao, tell me the truth. Have you encountered any trouble?"

Wang Zhengdao shook his head and said, "No."

Wang Laodao said: "You don't have to lie to me. In fact, Jianming sees this matter more clearly than you do. He thinks this marriage is not suitable."

Wang Zhengdao was a little surprised because his nephew Wang Jianming had never said this in front of him.

Mr. Wang said: "Jianming and his wife should know Xiaoxue better than you do."

Wang Zhengdao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that the old man would not be able to accept the twists and turns of this marriage, but now it seemed that the old man saw it so clearly, so it would be easy to deal with. As for his son, he didn't like Mei Ruxue in the first place and was not very active in this marriage. The reason he agreed was for the sake of the Wang family's face.

Wang Zhengdao felt fortunate from the bottom of his heart. If Xu Chunliang had not told him the truth in time, things would have gotten out of control and their Wang family would have become a laughing stock of the world.

When Wang Zhengdao was considering how to bring this up with the Qiao family, his assistant came over cautiously and whispered, "Boss Wang, Lexing Group has received a lot of calls today. Boss Li wants to meet you."

Wang Zhengdao actually received a call from Li Changji today, but he was upset and didn't answer it.

Wang Zhengdao guessed that it was still about the China-Korea Industrial Park, and said impatiently: "Tell her I'm not free today."

"But she said it was urgent."

As soon as Xu Chunliang returned to Dongzhou, he heard the bad news. Due to an emergency, the Olympic Sports Center asked them to adjust the time of the investment promotion meeting. Originally, they were scheduled from Tuesday to Thursday, but now they hope they can adjust it to Monday to Wednesday, or simply shorten it by one day. The reason was that the concert originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday had a hot box office, so the organizer decided to add an extra performance. This performance was scheduled for Friday, which means that they have to start setting up the venue and rehearsing on Thursday.

  When Xu Chunliang heard about this, he immediately became furious. Did the management of the Olympic Sports Center fail to distinguish between the big and small Wang? They only focused on the immediate interests and changed the things that were originally agreed upon?

Xu Chunliang immediately called the Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, Lu Ming. Although this investment promotion conference was hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, the Culture and Tourism Bureau was also deeply involved, and half of the exhibition booths were given to the Bureau.

Lu Ming had a cooperative attitude this time and did not think of taking over the initiative. He knew very well that this investment promotion conference was Xu Chunliang's home court, and their Cultural and Tourism Bureau was only responsible for playing supporting roles and could not confuse the main and the secondary. He was also not aware of the Olympic Sports Center's sudden request to postpone the date.

"Chunliang, do you mean that the investment promotion conference has been shortened from three days to two days?"

Xu Chunliang was obviously annoyed: "Brother Ming, don't you know?"

Lu Ming said: "I really don't know, they didn't inform me."

Xu Chunliang said, "I'm confused. What the hell is so great about it? Renting the venue is just giving them money. They didn't give us any discounts, but I accepted it. They changed the agreed time without any hesitation. Fuck them. The concert paid more? Even the investment promotion conference had to give way to the concert?"

Lu Ming said: "Chunliang, don't be angry yet, I will ask about the situation later."

"What do you want to ask? If celebrities come to Dongzhou for a concert, can they come without your Cultural and Tourism Bureau's approval?"

Lu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little brother clearly put the blame on him. He advised, "Chunliang, calm down first. I'll ask right away what the situation is. I really don't know."

Xu Chunliang said, "It's up to you. Anyway, I'm telling you this. The time I've set cannot be changed. If the Olympic Sports Center insists on unilaterally breaking the contract, I'll go and talk to Secretary Wang."
