Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 55: Chapter 55, Are you concerned about your sister-in-law?

Thinking about how his sister-in-law was especially afraid of thunder, Xu Wendong picked up the drink in his cup, stood up, and said, ”Thanks to Elder Jin and everyone for the hospitality. Normally, it would be rude for me to leave at this time, but I have urgent matters I must attend to, so I have to leave early.”

”I’ll drink this cup dry as an apology.” With that, he tilted his head back and downed the drink in his cup.

Jin Jianyuan hurriedly said, ”Doctor Xu, we’ve just started the meal. Why not have a few bites before you go back?”

”I really want to stay and eat, but I truly have something important!” Xu Wendong said with a wry smile. There were several dishes on the table he hadn’t tasted yet. If it weren’t for his sister-in-law’s fear of thunder, he wouldn’t have suggested leaving.

Jin Jianyuan cautiously asked, ”If you don’t mind, I can have someone pack some food for you to take home?”

Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up, ”Isn’t that inappropriate?”

”What’s inappropriate about it?” Jin Jianyuan waved his hand and said, ”Hurry, hurry, pack some dishes for Doctor Xu to take home. Goudan, you must make sure to safely escort Doctor Xu home, understand?”

A young man grinned and said, ”Don’t worry, Third Master, I’ll make sure Doctor Xu gets home safe.”

And so it went.

Jin Jianyuan had someone pack some of every dish for Xu Wendong, a total of eighteen containers, and even included two unopened bottles of Maotai and a pack of Soft Spring cigarettes.

Xu Wendong originally intended to decline, but Jin Jianyuan ruthlessly insisted, so he could only accept with a smile. Then he got in a BMW and drove towards the Happiness Community through the rain.

After Xu Wendong left, the atmosphere in the Jin household immediately relaxed a bit. A middle-aged man in his forties, smoking a cigarette, said, ”Third Master, Doctor Xu is no ordinary person!”

”You all must have heard about the mysterious master who injured sixty-eight people from Black Dragon Hall?”

”If I’m not mistaken, Doctor Xu is that mysterious person.”

”Because yesterday during the day, I personally saw him chase away Zhao Dahua and his seven men. Given Zhao Dahua’s nature, he will definitely gather more people to seek revenge.”

Everyone was shocked. Who would have thought Xu Wendong, so young, had such formidable combat skills?

Another middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a refined demeanor said, ”If Doctor Xu really is that mysterious person, with Zhao Sihai’s temperament, he will definitely try to seek revenge.”

He paused at this point, couldn’t help but glance at Jin Jianyuan, and respectfully asked, ”Third Master, should we give Zhao Sihai a warning?”

”Why warn Zhao Sihai?” Jin Jianyuan calmly picked up a container of high-proof loose white liquor and poured it into the glass in front of him.

Although there was Maotai on the table, everyone knew Jin Jianyuan didn’t favor it.

The middle-aged man anxiously said, ”If we don’t warn Zhao Sihai, he will definitely give Doctor Xu trouble! He’s our benefactor, and we can’t just watch him encounter misfortune, right?”

Although Zhao Sihai was a bigshot in South City District, with over a hundred followers and great resources, Jin Zhuang didn’t take Zhao Sihai seriously. After all, Jin Zhuang had always been the most united and fierce village in South City.

Even when Zhao Sihai saw Jin Jianyuan, he had to greet him politely.

”Do you all really think Doctor Xu is just a strong fighter?” Jin Jianyuan shook his head with a smile, then looked at Jin Lingqiang, ”Qiangzi, tell them about everything we encountered on Lake Heart Island this time.”

”Oh, okay.” Jin Lingqiang gnawed on a pig’s trotter, then recounted the events on Lake Heart Island in detail.

After listening, everyone felt chills run up their spines, not expecting there to be terrifying monster fish and so-called evil spirits in South Lake, overturning their understanding of the world.

It also made them realize how terrifying Xu Wendong was; such a person couldn’t be dealt with by someone like Zhao Sihai.

”Third Master, Zhao Sihai once helped me, and I owe him a favor. I’d like to warn him not to mess with Doctor Xu,” a young man said nervously.

Jin Jianyuan’s eyes were cold, ”If Zhao Sihai really wants to die, how could you stop him? Let me tell you little brats, what happened today is only known to our family. Anyone who dares to leak it will be punished according to family law. Now, eat!”

------

The BMW speeded down the road, eventually bringing Xu Wendong back to his cousin’s house, by which time it was completely dark.

Not long after he rang the doorbell, Lin Yiren, wrapped in a quilt, opened the door, her face haggard and eyes full of helplessness.

Seeing Xu Wendong return, she dropped the quilt and rushed into his arms, her voice choked, ”Why are you back so late!”

”Sister-in-law, don’t be like this, there are outsiders.” Xu Wendong looked awkward because he brought back a lot of packed food, plus some cigarettes and liquor, and Goudan, who took him home, specially helped carry them in.

Lin Yiren hastily withdrew from Xu Wendong’s warm embrace, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Goudan put down the things, said a couple of polite words, and then turned to leave.

”What’s all this?” Seeing the lavish dishes on the table and the Maotai and high-end cigarettes, Lin Yiren was stunned.

Xu Wendong chuckled, ”I ran into a patient who wanted me to stay at their home for dinner. But thinking you’d be afraid of thunder, I decided to come back and accompany you.”

”The patient saw I hadn’t eaten much, so they helped me pack some food, including the cigarettes and liquor.”

With a slightly flushed face, Lin Yiren looked affectionately at Xu Wendong, ”Are you concerned about your sister-in-law?”

Xu Wendong scratched his head bashfully, ”Isn’t it natural for me to be concerned about my sister-in-law?”

A wave of warmth surged in Lin Yiren’s heart.

This guy still had some decency in him.

He hadn’t let her down for using her hand last night and mouth this morning to help him.

She flashed a gentle smile, ”Go take a shower first. I’ll put these dishes on plates.”

”Okay, okay.” Xu Wendong quickly slipped into slippers, fetched clean clothes from the bedroom, and after a quick cold shower, emerged feeling refreshed.

However, there were red marks on his ankles, and walking was slightly painful, but such injuries were nothing to him and would heal overnight.

Entering the dining room, Lin Yiren had already transferred the food from the containers to plates, and the table was lavishly spread.

Lin Yiren smiled and suggested, ”How about we open a bottle of Maotai tonight and try it?”

Xu Wendong quickly waved it off, ”I don’t usually drink. To me, Maotai is no different from Erguotou. Let’s save it for my brother. Drinking Maotai would just be a waste on me.”

Maotai was quite good, he thought, having tasted two cups at the Jin family’s. The only downside was its high alcohol content, which quickly inebriated people.

He feared drinking too much and doing something unbecoming while sleeping with his sister-in-law.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

”I’ll get it.” Xu Wendong went to the door, and when he opened it, seeing the person standing there filled him with a strong, murderous intent. He stared intently at the woman before him, gritting his teeth, ”What are you doing here?”
