Chapter 2755 — Xinyan's Parents Arrive

"Oh, you're looking for your grandpa. Doctor Lin went out on a house call first thing this morning. He said he'd be walking mountain paths, so he took Ergoudan along to clear the way and avoid wild animals. He isn't back yet—it's a fair distance this time, they said they were going to a neighboring village behind the mountain. There's no cell signal over there, so I'd guess he won't be back until tomorrow?" Widow Wang said.
"I see..." Wei Zhao nodded, and his heart settled. The old man had told the villagers he was going to a neighboring village for a house call, but Wei Zhao knew he was really off to the Western Star Valley to drink the spring water—the same spirit spring water Ergoudan drank every time.
Old Man Wei went to drink some of the spirit spring water at regular intervals, but only Wei Zhao and Ergoudan knew about it. This time he had taken Ergoudan along, so they were certainly off drinking spirit spring water.
Since he could not consult Old Man Wei, Wei Zhao could only set the matter aside for now. He decided that when Wang Xinyan woke, he would talk with her about whether to tell her parents of the current situation. For one thing, it would give her parents some mental preparation; for another, he wanted to ask what miraculous medicine Wang Xinyan had taken back then, whether the prescription still existed, and whether that wandering expert could be found again.
After Wang Xinyan woke, Wei Zhao discussed his thoughts with her. She had no choice but to be honest with her parents as well. She feared it would worry them, but if they were not told and things went on this way—if something happened—they would be even less prepared.
So one evening after school, Wang Xinyan summoned her parents to the villa in the Xueshang residential compound. Though the purpose was to discuss her health, having her parents come to Wei Zhao's home left her somewhat embarrassed, as though this were a matchmaking meeting with the parents.
Wang Xuben and Xiao Qinlin were rather puzzled as to why Wang Xinyan had suddenly called them to Wei Zhao's villa, and naturally they had formed certain misconceptions.
The two arrived at the villa around seven in the evening. Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, and Shen Yushu, as the masters of the house, naturally accompanied Wang Xinyan out to greet them. Wei Zhao smiled and greeted Wang Xuben and Xiao Qinlin. "Uncle Wang, Auntie Xiao, welcome. Please come in!"
"Very well..." Wang Xuben and Xiao Qinlin nodded politely. After all, though they had discussed the matter and reached a consensus to respect their daughter's wishes, she was still Kang Jinglong's fiancee, and they could not treat Wei Zhao as a son-in-law.
The two entered the villa and sat down in the living room. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu went to pour tea, then sat to one side. They were not strangers to Wang Xuben and Xiao Qinlin; they had met when Wang Xinyan was kidnapped.
Wang Xinyan glanced at Wei Zhao, signaling him not to say anything out of turn, and then said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, my body seems to have run into some problems..." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to visit Qidian and cast
