Chapter 659: The Dilemma Between Treatment and Competition

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Outside the examination room, Murong Qiao had just accepted the key Huo Yichen handed her when she saw the door in front of her being pushed open from the inside.

The person walking in front was Murong Zheng, who had a cold expression and a hand in his pocket as he held the report, and Tang Huai, who followed behind.

“Second Brother.” Murong Qiao immediately stood up.

At this moment, Tang Huai had finished his checkup. When he came out and saw Murong Qiao, he realized a problem.

His leg injury happened a long time ago. How did Murong Qiao know? Murong Zheng replied indifferently, “The results are barely passable.” Murong Qiao knew her Second Brother’s ability. Seeing him say this, she knew that it was most likely not at the most serious stage, so she couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

It was the afternoon after the competition. Even in the hospital at this time, the commotion in the corridor was not small.

Murong Zheng casually put away the report. “Let’s talk in my office.”

Murong Qiao pulled Huo Yichen over. As a patient, Tang Huai naturally couldn’t leave directly at this time.

When everyone arrived at Murong Zheng’s office and the door closed, it seemed much quieter.

With his Little Sister looking at him, Murong Zheng had no intention of keeping her in suspense.

It can be treated. A year.” His words were concise.

Tang Huai was the first to speak. “No way.”

He had to prepare for the Rapid Mountain Race after this competition. How could he take out a year to treat his injuries?

When you’re disabled, only your mouth will be left.” Murong Zheng sneered.

Tang Huai frowned. “I know my body very well.”

“Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor?”

“Big Brother—” Murong Qiao originally wanted to call out to him.

However, as soon as she spoke, she saw Murong Zheng and Tang Huai stop talking and look in her direction at the same time.

Murong Zheng pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “If you continue to train, the treatment time will only become longer and longer.”

In the end, his Little Sister was here, so Murong Zheng didn’t say anything too piercing.

“…” Tang Huai was silent.

Murong Qiao frowned. Even though she wanted to persuade Tang Huai, she didn’t know how to speak.

After all, strictly speaking, the two of them had not interacted for long. She was not certain that she could persuade Tang Huai to receive treatment.

“I know what I’m doing.”

In the end, it was Tang Huai who said this and turned to leave.

“Looks like this isn’t his first time here?” Huo Yichen, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.

Murong Zheng still sized up his brother-in-law, but he answered.

He set aside the report. “This should be his third time.”

Then, from Murong Zheng’s description, Murong Qiao also briefly understood some of Tang Huai’s injuries.

Tang Huai’s calf injury was an accident when he was racing. The first time, he was injured and came to treat it. The second time, it relapsed during the competition. As for this time, he was pulled over by Murong Qiao.

If he doesn t drive a car, this injury can be said to be unimportant,” Murong Zheng pointed out.

But the key was that Tang Huai wanted to drive a racing car, and it was the kind that risked his life.

As Murong Qiao listened, she understood that it was probably not a simple matter to let Tang Huai receive treatment.

Tang Huai’s sudden departure canceled the dinner celebration.

Murong Qiao simply changed the itinerary and pulled Huo Yichen along to tidy up her original residence and prepare to move.

Fortunately, the weather gave them face. It was clear and cloudless, and the temperature was not too high. As they walked, the breeze made them feel comfortable.

It was a little hazy blue and was scattered behind the clouds. Under the sunlight, it made one relax.

Thanks to such good weather, Nan Hao, who worked in the law firm, was also given an hour off by Xue Jingyi today.

However, he didn’t expect to meet his Big Brother, Nan Xuan, who was already busy cooking in the kitchen when he returned home early.

“…Brother?” When he saw Nan Xuan at home, Nan Hao hesitated for a moment.

“Yes,” Nan Xuan replied calmly. “Prepare to eat when you’re back.” During this period of time, Nan Jin had been working outside and rarely went home. Therefore, Nan Xuan and Nan Hao were the only ones who ate at home. Actually, this was not very accurate.

Nan Hao placed his bag on the sofa and took advantage of the angle Nan Xuan’s back was facing him. He could not help but look around, feeling a little strange.

Usually, he and his Big Brother would settle their own dinner. On the other hand, in the past few days, Nan Xuan had returned especially early, making Nan Hao clearly sense that something had changed.

The sounds in the kitchen continued, and the sound of the spatula flipping and stir-frying faintly reached Nan Hao’s ears.

Nan Xuan carried the dishes out of the kitchen and placed them on the table.

When he saw Nan Hao sitting on the sofa in a daze, he frowned.

“Something on your mind?” he asked.

After Nan Hao came back to his senses, he shook his head. “Nothing.”

“How have you been at the law firm recently? Do you need my help with the internship?” Nan Xuan asked again.

In this family, as the Big Brother, Nan Xuan had already begun to play the role

of the head of the family a long time ago.

Now that his youngest brother had also left university and transferred to working life, Nan Xuan couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

“Senior and the others treat me quite well.”

Nan Hao said honestly, “After the internship, I can directly become an official employee.”

“Oh.” Knowing that his brother was fine, Nan Xuan didn’t say anything else.

However, just because he didn’t say anything didn’t mean that Nan Hao wouldn’t take the initiative to ask.

The brothers had all grown up together. They knew very well what each other was thinking and what habits they had.

Nan Hao had seen Nan Xuan’s strange behavior over the past few days. Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Nan Xuan sat down silently. Nan Hao finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Big Brother, how have you been… recently with work?” He asked carefully.

Nan Hao had always been unable to take the initiative to understand Nan

Xuan’s situation, but something was really wrong recently.

Nan Xuan didn’t display that something was wrong. “It’s quite good.” To his brother, Nan Xuan didn’t mention anything about his promotion being intercepted at the last minute.

Ever since Yu Liang parachuted in, more than half of the leader’s original value for Nan Xuan had been distributed.

It was impossible not to be angry.

Anyone who saw the duck that was about to be in their mouth fly away and fall into the hands of others to enjoy would be furious.

However, Nan Xuan was no longer the Eldest Young Master of the Nan family who could do whatever he wanted.

“Don’t worry about me. Just tell me if you have any difficulties.” Nan Xuan lowered his eyes and took a sip of the soup, an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Hearing this, Nan Hao held back the words he wanted to ask.

The dining table became the home ground of silence again. After eating, the two of them cleaned up the dishes and returned to their rooms to rest. ’ However, Nan Hao’s words had left a mark in Nan Xuan’s heart. After he returned to his room, he couldn’t help but open his eyes and recall his recent treatment in the company.

Perhaps it was because he wanted to compensate Nan Xuan, but after there was no hope of promotion, the leader arranged many projects for him.

With Nan Xuan’s outstanding ability, the projects made him earn a lot of money one after another. However, the leader didn’t mention the promotion again.

However, in the company, the rumors between colleagues had never stopped..
