Chapter 402: Chapter 402: They Are Siblings?
"It’s not that, in your eyes, is it all just about men and women? Let me tell you, it really isn’t a woman—it’s a guy, just graduated from college, majored in medicine, too. I feel like this guy has potential, so I want to keep him by my side and properly mentor him."
"That’s fine, Liu Zheng, I didn’t expect there would actually be someone who could catch your eye. I really want to see what’s so different about this guy. Let’s go, I actually want to check him out today."
"No, if you’re coming with me, how am I supposed to introduce him to you? Besides, I can’t explain everything to you right now. Also, after I get back today, I need to start studying the characteristics of this plant, so I won’t have time to look after you either."
"Do I need your care? Which part of the village am I not familiar with? Who do I not know? Also, the preliminary work for the project starts tomorrow, I have to survey things a bit, don’t I? I need to go check out the situation. You really think I came to the village for you? Stop daydreaming here."
As they talked, the two had already reached the car, and then Liu Jiaxin promptly jumped into the driver’s seat. Liu Zheng could only shake his head helplessly, but afterward, he still got into the car with her.
The car returned to the village just after noon, but this time, it did not go straight to the village committee; instead, it headed back to Liu Zheng’s clinic.
The issue with Mayor Liu had to be explained, so time was of the essence for Liu Zheng. However, he emphasized one thing: Liu Yang might really be a great help in this affair.
After getting out of the car, he saw a woman walking out of his clinic, holding a white plastic bag in her hand, which probably contained the newly prescribed medication.
"See? My apprentice hasn’t even really learned anything from me yet, and now he’s already able to treat people. Not bad at all, I’ve found myself a treasure indeed."
He turned back and then said to Liu Jiaxin. Liu Jiaxin just looked at him disdainfully and headed straight into the clinic.
"Master, you’re back!"
Upon seeing Liu Zheng enter, Liu Yang hurriedly came forward to greet him, but when he saw Liu Jiaxin behind him, he suddenly stepped back and then immediately ran towards the room inside.
"You stop right there."
Just then, Liu Jiaxin suddenly shouted and dashed to the door, but found that the door had already been locked from the inside by then.
"Alright, you little rascal, I’ve been looking for you for so long, not knowing where you had gone, and it turns out you were hiding here. Come out now, come out immediately."
"Wait, what are you doing? Do you know him? What’s your relationship with him? Why have you been looking for him for so many days? What does this all mean? Liu Jiaxin, make yourself clear."
The sudden dialogue between the two completely confused Liu Zheng. He had no idea what kind of connection there was between them, why such a scene would unfold upon their very first meeting?
"The apprentice, the intern you told me about, is Liu Yang, right? It’s him, isn’t it?"
"That’s right, it’s him. What’s the problem, do you know him? What’s your relationship with him?"
"Enough with the nagging, I’m telling you, I have to take this kid away today. Besides, he wouldn’t be able to stay here and help you be a volunteer doctor."
"Explain yourself, what’s your relationship with Liu Yang? Why do you want to take him away? Besides, he’s a grown man now, graduated and out in society, he can make his own choices. What right do you have to interfere?"
"What right? Just because I’m his sister, that’s why I must take him back."
"What did you say? You’re his sister? This is your brother? Oh, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I think I would have really forgotten. Yes, yes, you used to have a brother, but wasn’t he always abroad in my memory?"
"That’s right, he was abroad. He’s also what you’d call a college graduate, just recently graduated from abroad, got it? Initially, I paved a very good way for him to be a good doctor in the city. But then this kid just up and left. I went to the hospital looking for her before, and they said he never did his internship or even showed up."
"Exactly, he was intercepted by me on the day of his registration, and I did have his consent for it. Don’t be hasty, Liu Yang, come on out. Now that she’s here and since things have happened, you come out and face it, okay? Be a man and deal with it yourself, hiding here isn’t going to solve any problems."
Liu Zheng stood at the door, patiently persuading. He really had no idea that there could be such a situation with this young fellow, and furthermore, was Liu Jiaxin really his sister? It seemed that these past few years he had never paid much attention to these matters.
Two minutes later, a click was heard from inside the room, followed by Liu Yang walking out, trembling. His face was clearly filled with fear, and the respect for his sister was indeed tinged with dread.
