The Taming Of The Ruffian Hero Chapter 117 Zheng Kai, You? The Son Of Zheng Zihuan Had A Manner Of A Dragon Or Tiger

Zheng Kai looked suspiciously at the three of them and asked, "Zhao Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You, why are you here?"

But each of the three people had their secrets in the heart, so they remained silent.

Zheng Kai said with a smile, "In the elevator just now, I heard some people talking about that a crazy man wearing a red quilted jacket had been waiting for the elevator for a long time. Finally, he chose to take the stairs, carrying a bunch of things. Now I see that it must be you. Lin Wenxi, you have walked up 29 flights of stairs..." Zheng Kai thought to himself that Lin Wenxi's bright red quilted jacket looked as red as fire, and the color of it seemed like that of the jersey Zhao Yuan wore all the time.

Lin Wenxi smiled with a little embarra.s.sment.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help clenching his fists and gazed right at Lin Wenxi who turned his head and looked away. Lin Wenxi asked Zheng Kai, "Well, what do you come here for?"

"Oh, my mom asks me to look for my father. She wants me to bring him home for dinner!" Zheng Kai blurted out the words that made everyone felt confused.

Zhao Yuan suddenly realized something. "Zheng Kai... Zheng Zihuan."

They watched Zheng Kai walk into Ward No. 2908, which was precisely the ward of Zhao Yuan's father.

Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin hurried to catch up. Lin Wenxi followed them. He saw Zhao Yuan turn his head slightly and smile apologetically at him. But facing his smile, Lin Wenxi felt more painful than being sentenced to death.

Seeing Zhao Yuan coming in with him, Zheng Kai was a little overwhelmed. He looked at the weak middle-aged man lying on the bed who so close to death but still smiled with his eyes. Then he looked toward Zhao Yuan and produced a forced smile—a month ago, Zheng Kai's father took a long leave and took away the family money and the scholars.h.i.+p Zheng Kai got by giving up his recommendation. Until now, his father was still deep in high debt. Zheng Zihuan did all of this all for his brother in the provincial capital. And finally, his father simply came to the provincial capital to take care of that person by himself and never went home again since then. When his mother managed to push herself until the end of the year, she hoped that his father would at least go back home to celebrate New Year together. However, Zheng Zihuan actually refused her, so Zheng Kai came here to see his father.

Zheng Kai wanted to see who could make his father give away almost everything, including his family. At first, Zheng Kai even meant to persuade his father to go back. But to his surprise, that person was his roommate Zhao Yuan's father! Though he got a whole lot resentment and anger, he had to keep a tight lid on his feelings at this moment.

All of a sudden, Zhao Mingjiang opened his eyes. He gazed at Zheng Kai and began to cough violently. Zheng Zihuan quickly handed him the hot water without saying a word to Zheng Kai.

Zhao Mingjiang lay on his back and sighed heavily.

Ever since Zheng Zihuan knew what happened to Zhao Mingjiang, he often a.s.sisted him financially. At first, Zhao Mingjiang refused his offer of help. But in the end, Zhao Mingjiang accepted it only because Zheng Zihuan told him, "You should stay alive for your son." When Zheng Zihuan started to took care of him, Zhao Mingjiang felt very embarra.s.sed. But every time Zhao Mingjiang called his relatives to help, Zheng Zihuan would make an excuse and turn them down adamantly. If Zhao Mingjiang insisted on finding someone to replace him, Zheng Zihuan would bow his head and weep.

It was already difficult enough for Zhao Mingjiang to breathe. So, in the end, he did not have more strength to try to persuade his old cla.s.smate. But Zhao Mingjiang knew that he might never be able to repay the kindness of him.

"There is still some time before the New Year. You go back to school first and worry about your exams. I will go back when it is time," Zheng Zihuan said coldly.

Zheng Kai was full of anger, but he could not lose his temper now. Behind a forced smile, he kept silent.

Lin Wenxi was a bit confused. "If Uncle Zheng and Uncle Zhao had a secret relations.h.i.+p, then how could they have Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai?" When such an absurd idea popped up in his mind, Lin Wenxi felt that he was so unreasonable. He smiled, a little sadly. "If I guess all kinds of friends.h.i.+p between men like this, I will either insult love or insult friends.h.i.+p.

Secretly, he felt ashamed of himself. But suddenly, he noticed a figure flashed across the staircase. Lin Wenxi rushed down like an angry lion. The whole staircase echoed his footsteps and screams. "Zhang Dong! Come out!"

Lin Wenxi chased him to the outside of the building and the door of the hospital. However, the streets were quiet, and there was not a trace of Zhang Dong.

Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin rushed downstairs.

Lin Wenxi could hardly believe his eyes, but he was sure enough that he had seen Zhang Dong!

"Are you sure it is Zhang Dong?" asked Zhao Yuan.

Lin Wenxi nodded.

"Why would Zhang Dong be here?" Zhao Yuan pursed his lips, and he looked pretty distracted. Chen Wanxin had the same doubt. She only knew that Mo Qian and Luo Yang had tried many ways to make Zhang Dong join the Mo family without a hitch, but it seemed that they failed. Later on, she never heard Luo Yang talk about the news about this person. "So, what was he doing here? Is it that Mo Qian doesn't quite trust me such that he sent someone else to follow me?"

When the three people were wondering, Zheng Zihuan called Zhao Yuan and asked him to hurry back.

In the ICU, a group of people had waited outside for a long time, but they were still not allowed to enter.

Zheng Zihuan gave Zheng Kai a loud slap in the face. Zheng Kai watched the door of the ICU. Just now, he was unable to restrain himself and quarreled a few words with his father. But he didn't know that they could disturb Zhao Yuan's father to such a point. It looked like that Zhao Yuan's father was indeed struggling between life and death. Zheng Kai seemed to start to understand Zheng Zihuan's nervousness and carefulness. Thus, he just bore the slap from his father and didn't even utter a sound.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan felt very anxious, and the face of Zheng Zihuan looked somber first, and then it turned pale. The eyes of him flickered. Now he became so nervous that his whole body even began to tremble.

"It's okay. Everything will be fine," Lin Wenxi murmured.

All of a sudden, Zheng Zihuan's eyes became sharp. He pulled Zhao Yuan aside and asked, "The boy over there. What's his relations.h.i.+p with you?"

"He is my roommate," answered Zhao Yuan.

"Why do you always let someone unrelated come here? What's his name?" Zheng Zihuan looked anxious and angry.

"Lin Wenxi. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him. Uncle, you can rest a.s.sured," Zhao Yuan said.

"Lin Wenxi? Did your father ever mention him to you?" Zheng Zihuan asked.

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Do you know his ident.i.ty? He is... the son of Director Lin..." Zheng Zihuan asked with some excitement.

"Yes."

"Let him take you, take you to see Director Lin. Director Lin knows all about this; he can definitely find a way!" Walking up and down the hallway, Zheng Zihuan could hardly control his excitement.

"There is nothing his father can do. I, I have already talked to his father," Zhao Yuan said with some difficulty.

"Except for Director Lin, no one can manage this! I and the others have written a lot of letters to Director Lin. You should use your relations.h.i.+p with his son as soon as possible! It's now a matter of your father's life and death, do you still care about your self-respect? You should let Director Lin find a solution for you even if you have to go down on your knees!" Zheng Zihuan pulled Zhao Yuan farther and said in a loud voice.

Zheng Zihuan felt very puzzled about Zhao Yuan's silence.

Together, they backed outside of the ICU. When Zheng Zihuan saw that Zheng Kai still sat there, he shouted angrily at him, "Why don't you hurry home? Don't come back later on! I have my plan!"

Zheng Kai patted Zhao Yuan's shoulder heavily. "Bro, I'm sorry!"

In return, Zhao Yuan also comforted him. "Zheng Kai, we have involved your family in trouble. I owe you a lot of thanks! In the future, I am willing to do anything for you in return!"

Zheng Kai nodded. And in silence, he cast a look at Zheng Zihuan, and he looked at Chen Wanxin out of the corner of his eye. Then he left, poker-faced.

"Wenxi, you are A Yuan's roommate, so you know best how he is getting on at school. I'd like to learn about that on behalf of his father, okay?" Zheng Zihuan said abruptly.

Lin Wenxi glanced at Zhao Yuan and followed Zheng Zihuan. Chen Wanxin guessed that Zheng Zihuan was to investigate Lin Wenxi as carefully and thoroughly as the way people checked on household occupants. She could not help sneering secretly in her heart.

After walking down two flights of stairs, Zheng Zihuan suddenly stopped in the aisle and knelt down before Lin Wenxi, in a solemn way.
