Dragon Blood Divine Son-in-law
Chapter 686: You Are Still You

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: You Are Still You

These were Chen Xuan’s deductions, as well as his most genuine feelings.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan’s analysis, Song Qiuhuan was taken aback, then he couldn’t help but let out a wry laugh.

"I didn’t expect you to be quite clever, not as foolish as you seem on the surface!"

Chen Xuan: "..."

Is this supposed to be an insult or a compliment?

Song Qiuhuan continued, "You’re right, I asked you to come here for dinner precisely because I knew Zhao Tianheng would come today, and I intentionally wanted to introduce you to him."

"Zhao Tianheng is currently in the midst of a career upswing and is actively looking for a backer."

"So, when he sees you with me, he will try to win you over, in order to establish a connection with our Song Family!"

After hearing Song Qiuhuan’s frank admission, Chen Xuan was quite surprised for a while.

Once, in his eyes, Song Qiuhuan was just a doctor who saved lives and helped the injured, with a simple mind.

But now, the depth of her thoughts truly surprised Chen Xuan.

"What, do you feel like you hardly know me anymore?"

Seemingly discerning Chen Xuan’s thoughts, Song Qiuhuan asked with a smile.

However, anyone could tell that her smile was laced with bitterness.

Born into a family with a profound background and wealth, where clothes came to hand and meals to mouth.

Such a family was definitely what the average person would dream of.

Yet, for Song Qiuhuan, this kind of family was a shackle, which from birth was destined to restrain all her freedom!

It was precisely for this reason that Song Qiuhuan previously ran away to a small place like Huai City, disguising her identity to become a humble doctor.

It was also during that time in Huai City that Song Qiuhuan experienced what true freedom felt like.

But now, she had returned, returned to Sijiu City.

In such an intricate and competitive environment, she had no choice but to revert to the crafty Miss Song of the Song Family she once was.

She had to be smart, living here without brains could be fatal!

Chen Xuan, seeing the bitterness on Song Qiuhuan’s face, also realized something. He gave a wry smile and said, "A little, but as the saying goes, ’a man in the jianghu, by his circumstances bound.’ Anyway, you are still you, aren’t you?"

Song Qiuhuan was taken aback.

His words were simple, yet for some reason, they gave her an impulse to cry.

Even she thought she had changed.

She also believed that others would feel she had changed.

However, this man hadn’t.

In his heart, she was still that Song Qiuhuan!

After all these years, the Song Qiuhuan living in the high tower finally felt understood.

Once she had calmed her emotions, Song Qiuhuan spoke again, "I think, since you’ve just arrived in Sijiu City, it would be good for you to get to know someone like Zhao Tianheng."

"However, no one can anticipate everything; who would have thought he would contract such a disease..."

Pancreatic cancer, almost incurable.

At least, with this disease, Zhao Tianheng’s career in the bureaucracy was effectively over.

Thus, all the arrangements Song Qiuhuan had made for today were in vain.

However, in the next moment, she heard Chen Xuan slowly say, "No, you are wrong. I can cure his disease!"

"What..."

Song Qiuhuan was stunned.

He could even treat pancreatic cancer?!

But she soon realized.

Yes, he was once the renowned Divine Doctor famous in two provinces, having treated countless intractable diseases. It shouldn’t be too surprising that he could treat this kind of illness.

Song Qiuhuan said with a smile, "Opportunities are indeed reserved for those who are prepared. So, you’ve already figured out what you want to do next, haven’t you?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "I don’t need to do much, I think, he will come back to find me!"

Song Qiuhuan raised an eyebrow.

Whether it was in Huai City or Sijiu City, this man still managed to maintain his composure.

"Let’s eat!"

Setting aside other matters, Song Qiuhuan began to enjoy the limited time she had alone with this man.

Meanwhile.

After leaving Song Qiuhuan and Chen Xuan, Zhao Tianheng felt quite displeased, even finding it somewhat absurd.

To think that a man he had just met for the first time would dare to curse him with sickness, it was really suffocating.

"Director Zhao, that kid was just talking nonsense, you don’t need to take it to heart!"

One of his deputies consoled.

"Exactly, I think it’s that kid who has a problem in the head, daring to speak against Director Zhao like that, he really doesn’t know the first thing about manners!"

The others also chimed in with comforting words.

These words did make Zhao Tianheng feel much better, but the reminder from Chen Xuan was still stuck in his throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Later on, Zhao Tianheng thought of something and said to the deputy, "Xiao Liu, the check-up I had at the hospital this morning, has the result come out?"

Xiao Liu thought for a moment and said, "The hospital said the result would be ready in two hours. It should be about time."

"Then call the hospital now and ask them what the situation is."

Xiao Liu nodded quickly, "Okay, I’ll call now!"

Having said that, Xiao Liu immediately dialed the hospital.

A few minutes later, Xiao Liu ran back, his face pale, and he said in a panic, "Director Zhao... Director Zhao, it’s not good! There’s a problem with your test report!"

"What?!" Zhao Tianheng’s face turned pale, "What exactly happened?"

Xiao Liu immediately reported everything he had learned from the hospital.

As it turned out, Zhao Tianheng’s test results were exactly as Chen Xuan had predicted.

Pancreatic cancer, terminal stage!

The hospital was still verifying the situation, so they hadn’t notified him immediately, but they also said that the results were unlikely to change.

Thud!

Hearing Xiao Liu’s words, Zhao Tianheng’s legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground had it not been for the quick reactions of the people around him who supported him.

"Director Zhao, are you all right?"

All right? Far from it!

Any normal person upon hearing this result would definitely find it hard to accept.

Zhao Tianheng was no exception.

Over the years, he had been diligent at work, struggling to climb upward, and had finally achieved his current success.

Just as he was about to advance further, this disaster struck. To Zhao Tianheng, it felt like a bolt from the blue, a catastrophe!

Fate!

This is fate!

Could it be that fate had decreed that he, Zhao Tianheng, wasn’t destined for this?!

Zhao Tianheng felt a deep sense of injustice from life.

At this moment, Xiao Liu muttered, "Who would have thought, that kid was actually right..."

These words awakened Zhao Tianheng as if from a dream.

Yes, that young man named Chen Xuan, who had seen his sickness on their first meeting, and who had won the favor of the Song family’s young lady.

Such a person, perhaps, could have a way to cure his illness!

With that thought, Zhao Tianheng did not hesitate for a moment longer and turned around, running towards the location of Chen Xuan and Song Qiuhuan!
