Chapter 120: Chapter 120: The Four Tigresses of the Xiao Family (6)

Zang Xiaolian seemed to have anticipated she would ask this and sighed, "I heard it from others. At that time, when I had just started working with Second Brother, people told me that Second Brother had been kidnapped three times from childhood till then, and that I should pay more attention to his safety. Every kidnapping encounter was a matter of life and death for him."

The kidnapping of members of wealthy families didn’t seem like news anymore. It was often broadcasted on television news. Yet, she hadn’t expected that he too had experienced it.

Because of this, to this day, he dared not show his face in public.

As for his peculiar temperament, could it be that it was forged by such an eccentric family?

Gu Nuan slowly turned her head back and looked at the endless night outside, unable to sleep.

Having money was also a kind of suffering.

An hour of rapid driving later, they arrived at their small apartment.

Zang Xiaolian parked the car and accompanied her up the stairs.

Once inside the apartment, the moment Gu Nuan touched the bed, she could fall asleep immediately without even squinting.

All one could say was that Dr. Tang, despite seeming slow and gentle, prescribed medicine that was completely different from his demeanor — it was extremely potent.

She could only think that Dr. Tang was worried that if he didn’t cure her quickly, he would get a mouthful from Yebai, the impatient family member of the patient.

While tucking her in, Zang Xiaolian comforted her, saying, "Dr. Tang is very skilled, quite famous, and many patients seek him out because of his reputation."

That made sense, too. Despite being quite young, probably just over thirty, he was already an associate professor. Moreover, her husband only liked talented men, not mediocrities. It was evident that Dr. Tang was genuinely skilled and substantial.

Speaking of which, it was indeed a bit odd. A gifted student should have obtained a full scholarship, studied for free, and directly entered a public research institution after graduation, securing a stable and prestigious job.

It followed logically and would lead to the most ideal career path in life, so why would Tang Sili choose to practice clinical medicine and become an exhausted and weary surgeon?

More than that, why would this talented man, whose worth had increased simply because of family influence, willingly endure humiliation and bow and scrape to her husband, a benefactor?

Zang Xiaolian seemed to know little about Dr. Tang’s situation. All one could say was that his perception of people wasn’t as sharp as Gu Nuan’s.

Gu Nuan instantly noticed that Dr. Tang was desperately clinging to her husband Yebai’s coattails.

Simple, no matter how talented, without connections and a solid backing, who could ascend effortlessly in society?

No way!

A distinguished doctor, summoned with a simple phone call whenever needed, wasn’t he defining himself as a servant?

No wonder her husband, when looking at Dr. Tang, had all sorts of strange expressions in his eyes.

Gu Nuan ultimately fell into a deep sleep, no doubt, because too much had happened that evening, nearly overwhelming her mental capacity.

By the next morning, she had slept for a full ten hours, by which time the sun was already well up.

This made her slightly frown.

The medicine Tang Sili had given her must have contained a sleeping component, she wondered whether it was Tang Sili’s idea or her husband’s.

Zang Xiaolian had taken the liberty of calling in sick for her at the company.

Meanwhile, the news about the mishap with their Commercial Team Three last night had already spread throughout the company. After all, it was a significant event, the kind where someone could have lost their life.

The morning Xu Zhilin arrived at the company for work, he heard his senior Qiu Wenduo whisper in his ear, "Be careful with what you do. The team leader has just been called into the minister’s office."
