Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1460 Your circle is so chaotic

Xu Chunliang said: "Someone did say that."

Wang Zhengdao nodded: "The relationship between my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law does leave a lot of room for outsiders to imagine. Those who are innocent are innocent. They can say whatever they want. I have never done anything to let the Meng family down."

Xu Chunliang was stunned, but Wang Zhengdao showed no shame on his face. Xu Chunliang did not agree with what he said at all. He even had a daughter outside, but he could still say without blushing that he had never done anything to let down the Meng family. Old Wang really had some skills.

Xu Chunliang did not evaluate Wang Zhengdao from a moral high ground. After all, he was not worthy. His emotional richness was even more than that of his cheap father-in-law, Old Wang. Wang Zhengdao never regarded himself as a gentleman. On the contrary, Xu Chunliang felt that it was more comfortable to get along with such a person. Past experiences made Xu Chunliang hate hypocritical hypocrites. At least Old Wang dared to take responsibility for the matter of Mei Ruxue, his illegitimate daughter.

Xu Chunliang asked: "Your wife died of lung cancer?"

Wang Zhengdao shook his head, a painful expression on his face: "Suicide!"

Xu Chunliang said "oh". Actually, he had a hunch about this. According to the most common ethical story, the most reasonable thing is that Wang Zhengdao flirted with his sister-in-law and had an affair with her. Later, the affair was discovered. Wang Zhengdao's wife couldn't stand the shock and committed suicide. Her death made her sister who did something wrong feel guilty, so she had mental problems. This is also a version circulated by the outside world.

Wang Zhengdao raised his head and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky. His eyes became empty and void. "Her death has nothing to do with Meng Jingyuan. She always knew that we were innocent."

Xu Chunliang said: "I am not a gossipy person."

"I know. I don't treat you as an outsider. There are some things I can't say to other people, but I can say them to you." Wang Zhengdao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. When he took out a cigarette, Xu Chunliang had already taken out a lighter and was ready to light it for him.

Wang Zhengdao lit the cigarette towards the flame, took a deep puff, and raised his head to exhale a puff of smoke: "She betrayed me."

Xu Chunliang was shocked. The fact that Wang Zhengdao could say this proved that he really didn't consider himself an outsider.

Xu Chunliang was not interested in Wang Zhengdao's family affairs, not to mention that his wife had passed away many years ago. He coughed and said, "I'm a little hungry."

Wang Zhengdao looked at him deeply. This clever boy was interrupting him on purpose. He nodded and said, "You are in luck. I have prepared a good wine that I have treasured for thirty years for you today."

Although there were only six dishes, each one was prepared with great effort. The wine was a fine vintage, and although it had no trademark, it tasted delicious. This showed how much Wang Zhengdao valued his visit.

Since Wang Zhengdao recovered from his illness, he quit smoking, drinking and drinking tea. But after his son had a car accident, he picked them up again. Because of the appearance of Mei Ruxue, he became more indifferent to life.

Xu Chunliang toasted Wang Zhengdao with a glass of wine.

Wang Zhengdao drank half a cup and said softly, "There are some things that no one can say. I feel much better after saying them."

Xu Chunliang said: "Thank you for not treating me as an outsider."

Wang Zhengdao looked at him coldly: "Don't you think I don't know what you did to Xiaoxue? It's easy to fool her, but it's not that easy to fool me."

Being pointed out by his cheap father-in-law in front of him, Xu Chunliang couldn't hold back even though he was thick-skinned. He pretended to help him fill the wine glass to cover up his embarrassment: "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. I will do my best to protect her."

"Don't say these empty words to me. If you really care about her, how could you watch the Qiao family bully her like this?"

"Mr. Wang, you are wrong. I was not the one who wanted to bully her in the first place. If I hadn't argued with you, I wouldn't have known..."

Wang Zhengdao was exposed in front of him and became angry and embarrassed: "I didn't know anything at the time. Anyone with a bit of humanity should have told me the truth in advance."

Xu Chunliang said: "I told you so."

Wang Zhengdao pointed at Xu Chunliang's nose, and Xu Chunliang looked at him with a playful smile: "Uncle Wang, I now understand that we are not enemies. At least we have the same stance on how to treat Xiaoxue, and we both want to treat her well."

Wang Zhengdao nodded twice and put his finger down: "You better not do anything to let her down, or I won't forgive you."

Xu Chunliang said: "Let's supervise each other. If anyone treats her badly, we won't let each other off."

Wang Zhengdao thought to himself, how could I be bad to my own daughter? Then he thought, since my daughter was little, I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father. He suddenly felt guilty and silently picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it.

He was in an extremely conflicted mood, wanting to make up for what he owed to his daughter, but due to his status and the face of the Wang and Qiao families, he could not recognize his daughter, nor could he care for her and protect her in the name of a father. Everything could only be done behind the scenes. If people knew about it, it would surely cause an uproar. The best way was to do it through the boy in front of him.

Xu Chunliang had already figured out Wang Zhengdao's tangled psychology, and deliberately said: "If you want me to help you with anything, just tell me."

Wang Zhengdao glanced at Xu Chunliang and said, "You seem to be a little irresponsible." Xu Chunliang said, "What kind of responsibility do you want me to take? To whom?"

Wang Zhengdao knew that this guy was deliberately trying to anger him. Wasn't it obvious? You should be responsible for my daughter. My daughter has been captured by you physically and mentally. You should marry her in a formal way. Now that things have come to this, Wang Zhengdao simply made it clear: "You and Xiaoxue are not young anymore. You should consider starting a family."

Xu Chunliang said: "We have discussed this matter. She wants to choose to be single, and I have the same idea."

"Single? Do you want her to follow you for the rest of her life without knowing why? You can afford to delay, but she can't. In another ten years or so, you will still find a young and beautiful girl. What about her? Her life has been wasted by you." Wang Zhengdao's concern for his daughter was evident in his words.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Does Mr. Wang also demand the same of himself?"

Wang Zhengdao wanted to kick him: "My business has nothing to do with you."

Xu Chunliang said: "We did have this idea before, but later reality forced us to separate. Xiaoxue is now the granddaughter of the Qiao family, and Old Qiao placed all his hopes on her..."

Wang Zhengdao interrupted Xu Chunliang and said, "The Qiao family only uses her as a political tool. You are the only one who can save her from the Qiao family. If you marry her, she will be a member of the Xu family and will cut off ties with the Qiao family. Don't let the Qiao family use her anymore."

Xu Chunliang said, "There is one thing that I have always wondered about. Why did you insist on forcing the Qiao family to marry Mei Ruxue to Wang Jiancheng?"

Wang Zhengdao's face suddenly changed. This was the thing he was most reluctant to mention, but there was no place to hide this secret in front of Xu Chunliang, and he had to admit that Xu Chunliang was qualified to talk about this matter.

Wang Zhengdao sighed and said, "I was taken advantage of."

"Does the person who is using you already know about your relationship with Xiaoxue?"

The muscles at the corners of Wang Zhengdao's eyes twitched. He had actually had such concerns before. At that time, it seemed as if an invisible hand pushed him to do this, and he almost made a big mistake.

Wang Zhengdao shook his head: "Impossible..."

Xu Chunliang said: "Nothing is impossible. Since I can find it out, it is possible for others. Mei Xiqing should know this best."

"She died a long time ago."

Xu Chunliang said: "She may not tell other people."

Wang Zhengdao's breathing became rapid.

Xu Chunliang said, "I don't know what happened to you back then, but those involved are often confused while those who are watching can see things more clearly. As far as I know, it was Qiao Yuanjiang who proposed this marriage in the Qiao family. Qiao Yuanjiang sacrificed the interests of his niece. Normally, Mr. Qiao should have stopped him, but he agreed."

Xu Chunliang looked at Wang Zheng meaningfully and said, "Qiao Yuanjiang must have been coerced. If I'm not mistaken, the person threatening him is you. You have the dirt on Qiao Yuanjiang in your hands, which can destroy him and even endanger the reputation of the Qiao family. That's why Old Qiao bowed to you and agreed to marry his granddaughter to your son."

Wang Zhengdao's proud head drooped down. His cleverness backfired and he almost caused a human tragedy. If Xu Chunliang had not intervened, his family would have fallen into the abyss of hell.

Wang Zhengdao whispered, "Mr. Qiao will not bow to others easily. The reason why he agreed may be that he already knew that Xiaoxue is not a member of the Qiao family, but he is not clear about the relationship between Xiaoxue and me."

Xu Chunliang asked: "What exactly caused you to hate the Qiao family so much?"

Wang Zhengdao picked up the glass of wine that had just been filled in front of him, and Xu Chunliang raised his glass and clinked it with his: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to know your privacy."

Wang Zhengdao smiled bitterly and said, "Qiao Yuanjiang is a mediocre person. Qiao Yuanshan is far better than him in both scheming and intelligence. I am no match for him."

Xu Chunliang said: "I heard that you, Ye Changyuan and Qiao Yuanshan have a very good relationship."

Wang Zhengdao sighed and said, "It was good when we were young, but as we grow up and our outlook on life is formed, everyone has their own thoughts."

Xu Chunliang said: "I heard that Qiao Yuanshan made a mistake in his early years and then disappeared from the face of the earth."

"He was too outstanding and too conceited. He thought he was better than anyone else and that everyone had to revolve around him. He was too possessive." Wang Zhengdao paused here, and the expression on his face fully demonstrated the pain that the memories brought him.

After a long silence, Wang Zhengdao finally spoke again: "He is a very skillful person, good at manipulating power and politics. He treats others as fools, but he shouldn't have provoked Mei Xiqing."

Xu Chunliang did not say anything. Mei Xiqing is Mei Ruxue's mother. According to some information Xu Chunliang learned, Qiao Yuanshan's future was ruined because of his acquaintance with Mei Xiqing. I just don't know whether Qiao Yuanshan is clear about the fact that he believes that the daughter Mei Ruxue born to him and Mei Xiqing is actually Wang Zhengdao's biological child. Oh, your entertainment industry is so messy.
