The Crazy Son-In-Law

Yao Jianguo, who had always been silent, also spoke up at this time, “Alright, alright, stop that. Yao Cen, why don’t you drive me to school first.”

Once Liu Yunxiang saw that no one was with her this time, she immediately began her daily rambling.

“Well, you are all having a revolt here. I’m really blind to choose your family. My daughter married a loser, and Yao Jianguo, you are nothing better. How many years have you been an associate professor? You don’t even get a chance at those annual evaluations! You men are all losers in the Yao family!”

Yao Jianguo felt surprised when he heard he was suddenly mentioned, but the words really hit him where it hurt.

He was currently an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at Hamana City University.

He knew nothing about the business side of things and had no interest in it, so after he took over part of his family’s business, he gave it to Yao Cen and he just wanted to concentrate on his studies.

It’s just that he had stopped at an associate professorship for over a decade and was never promoted to any higher position.

One of the key reasons was that he was not very sociable.

Hamana City University was one of the best and most funded universities in the country, and if he could pass one of those annual evaluations, a professor position would be a sure thing.

Yet he failed that each time.

Although he didn’t care about the extra income, he cared about his reputation, and it had always been his wish to take that “associate” out from his title.

The next annual evaluation would be around the corner soon, and he was worried and bitter about it.

He had been used to that rambling of Liu Yunxiang at home, and Yao Jianguo knew that there would be no end to it if he said anything, so he simply shut up.

Yao Cen started the car and drove towards the university.

Liu Yunxiang muttered for a while longer, and when she realized no one said anything, she gradually quieted down.

Half an hour later, they got to the entrance of Hamana City University, and Xiao Shun followed Yao Jianguo out of the car.

Yao Cen had to go back to the company in the afternoon, and if he went home he would have to face Liu Yunxiang alone, so he simply stayed outside for some quiet time.

On the other hand, Xue Cheng went straight to the hospital after the banquet and had a full body checkup.

It’s September and Hamana City University was accepting its fresh students.

Xiao Shun did not follow Yao Jianguo into the campus, but stood at the entrance of the school for a while for a good view of those youthful faces as well as the gorgeous legs of those campus beauties.

He turned around and was about to leave when three people came up to him and the older one of them looked familiar.

Before Xiao Shun could remember where he had seen that face before, the man walked over quickly, with a smile on his face, and said respectfully, “Master Xiao? What are you doing here?”

Only when he heard the voice did Xiao Shun remember that this person was exactly Zhou Shuqing who had wanted to be his student. Because last night he was wearing a surgical gown and a surgical cap on his head had his hair was tied up, Xiao Shun only found him familiar but couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.

“Oh, my father-in-law teaches here.”

Xiao Shun said. Certainly he couldn’t say he was here for those beautiful faces and legs, or it might tarnish that respectable image in his mind.

“Your father-in-law? What’s his name? I had been at the medical school for a while, so I might even know him.”

Zhou Shuqing said a little excitedly. If he knew Xiao Shun’s father-in-law, he might have a chance to be his student!

“Yao Jianguo.” Xiao Shun found nothing to hide here, and said honestly.

Zhou Shuqing heard it and could not think of anything. After all, he had left the medical school for quite a few years, and besides, Hamana City University was huge, with many departments and hundreds of faculty members, so it was impossible for him to know them all.

But a slightly younger, middle-aged man with thick glasses beside him spoke up, “Is he from the Department of Chemistry?”

“I guess so.” Xiao Shun said.

“Oh, I know your father-in-law then! He’s an associate professor now, and he’s a very good teacher.” The man with glasses said in a calm tone.

“I’ll be sure to get to know this Professor Yao some day.”

Zhou Shuqing said, and then he changed to a different topic.

“I wonder if Master Xiao has a moment now? If it’s convenient for you to check on a patient with me, I will be grateful.”

Xiao Shun thought to himself, “I have got nothing better to do anyway. There’s no harm in going along with him.”

“Yes, I’m fine with that.”

“That’s really great. Master Xiao can definitely help my teacher with his illness.” Zhou Shuqing said with an excited expression.

The two men beside him, however, examined Xiao Shun up and down with a look of disbelief on their faces.

If even those legendary figures at the city hospital were at their wits’ end, what could this young man possibly do? Professor Zhou must have deceived.

Xiao Shun got into an Audi Q5 with the three and then it drove all the way towards the hospital next to the university.

Zhou Shuqing introduced Xiao Shun to the two with him on their way, and all those complimentary he had said about Xiao Shun had made him even a bit bashful.

Soon the four came to a separate ward in the hospital.

They were greeted by an old man with silver hair and a face full of spots. The old man was wearing a thick down jacket at this time, and his lower body was also covered with thick layers of clothing. He was wrapped up like a loaf of bread.

“Shuqing, come and have a seat. I have to trouble you again.” The old man said kindly.

“Mr. Wang, what you’re talking about. This is what I should do.” Zhou Shuqing said.

“And this is…?” The old man asked when he noticed Xiao Shun.

“Oh, this is Master Xiao. A new friend of mine. He has a marvelous knowledge of acupuncture, so maybe he can help you.”

Zhou Shuqing turned to Xiao Shun and introduced him, “Master Xiao, this is my teacher, Wang Baisong, who is also the honorary president of Hamana City University.”

Wang Baisong looked Xiao Shun up and down with a pair of cloudy eyes, shook his head and said, “Even you can’t cure my disease completely, this young man…”

He knew how prideful this student of his had been, yet today he kept calling him master, and he felt slightly disappointed as his teacher.

Zhou Shuqing looked a little awkward.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Wang Baisong got this disease when he was young, and as he got older, the symptoms only became more and more serious. Whenever he had a fit of this disease, he would feel like he was thrown in to an icy cellar, and even in the summer, he would have to wear thick layers of clothes. Those doctors he had gone to could not find any problems so surgery was not possible and he could only get by with herbal treatment.

“I can cure this mister’s illness completely.” Xiao Shun said indifferently.

At these words, the man with glasses just now spoke up, “Young man, don’t you brag. Even those doctors from the capital can only relieve my father of some of his symptoms, and you? I think we better just keep things the way it is.”

The man with the glasses was Wang Baisong’s son, Wang Wenyao.

Zhou Shuqing had seen what Xiao Shun could do, and with his knowledge of acupuncture, he could fully trust Xiao Shun, “Mr. Wang, I think we can let Master Xiao have a try…”
