Xu Fan's remark had sent shockwaves through the entire audience!
Everyone had thought he would share how hard he had worked for this exam...
But to think, scoring 650 was still not indicative of his true capabilities!
For a mont, everyone cast sympathetic glances at Ouyang Hong and Xu Liren—these two fellows had been thoroughly humiliated this ti...
Soon, after the assembly disbanded, all the teachers and students left the auditorium, leaving only Grandpa Guan, Yan Ruyu, and a few other school executives chatting inside.
Having received Grandpa Guan's instructions, Xu Fan and Guan Shing were now waiting outside the auditorium.
"Kiddo, tell , how should I thank you this ti? Anything goes, except offering myself in marriage,"
Xu Fan was truly grateful to Guan Shing for the favor she had done, so he asked with appreciation, to which Shing couldn't help but chuckle and roll her eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't ask for you to offer yourself in marriage!" she said, exasperated.
Thinking for a while with knitted brows, she then smiled and said, "As for how you can thank , heehee, I'll have to think about that carefully!"
"I'll tell you once I've decided!"
Guan Shing cherished this opportunity, so she probably wouldn't decide what Xu Fan should do for her anyti soon.
Xu Fan just shrugged and was not in a rush. Seeing that Yan Ruyu and Grandpa Guan were coming out, he walked over to greet them.
"Haha, Xu Fan, I hope you haven't been waiting for too long?"
Grandpa Guan got along well with Xu Fan; seeing his own grandson approaching, he dropped his usual formalities and was very amiable.
Smiling, Xu Fan replied, "No worries, I only waited for a little while."
"Xu Fan, I have so other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. If you ever run into trouble at school, co straight to . Here's my business card,"
At that mont, the major shareholder ca out and handed his own business card to Xu Fan.
Given his polite deanor, Xu Fan guessed he must have a close relationship with Sister Lan. After accepting the business card, he said, "Thank you for everything this ti."
After the major shareholder had left, Grandpa Guan continuously glanced at Yan Ruyu by his side.
"Ruyu, are you really not going to let Xu Fan take a look at your illness?"
Grandpa Guan and Yan Ruyu's grandfather were old acquaintances, and he was aware of her unusual illness.
He understood the severity of Ruyu's strange ailnt—if she didn't find a cure, it might lead to grave danger.
With a simple prescription, Xu Fan could easily deal with his old affliction; Grandpa Guan thought maybe he could cure Yan Ruyu's disease as well.
But what he didn't know was that Xu Fan had already checked her illness long ago.
Ruyu glanced at Xu Fan, her cheeks blushing slightly, then she shook her head and said, "Grandpa Guan, I'm well aware of how serious my condition is, so please don't worry..."
"This..."
Grandpa Guan awkwardly grinned—one could tell that during the assembly, he had repeatedly brought up the matter, but for so reason, Ruyu seed very resistant to the idea...
"Xu Fan, congratulations on getting first place in the entire grade. Grandpa Guan needs you for sothing, so I'll be off,"
Ruyu said to Xu Fan in a lukewarm tone and then left.
Watching as Ruyu's figure disappeared into the distance, Xu Fan shook his head.
This woman valued her reputation more than her life, which was truly admirable.
If it were any other woman who had contracted this disease, she probably would've stripped naked and lain in her own bed by now.
He curled his lip and thought to himself that he was the Divine Doctor, after all, and this disease simply had to be cured!
Well, first of all, he had to get her to willingly let him treat her.
Now, it was only Xu Fan, Guan Shing, and Elder Guan left in the room. Xu Fan took a breath and said with a smile, "Elder Guan, what did you want to see about? You surely aren't thinking of betrothing your granddaughter to , are you?"
"Xu Fan! You!"
Guan Shing's cheeks flushed as she listened; her grandfather had teased her with this last night, and now Xu Fan was doing it again—too much!
Elder Guan stroked his beard and burst into laughter, saying, "If you don't mind, it wouldn't be so bad to betroth my sweet granddaughter to you! Humph, you lad, I do find you quite agreeable!"
"Grandfather!"
Guan Shing looked up and instantly stamped her foot in anger. This pair of elder and youth were ganging up to bully her!
"Haha, just kidding..."
Elder Guan looked at his granddaughter, who was now shy beyond words, with great fondness, then said earnestly, "Actually, the main reason I wanted you to stay is that I have an inconvenient favor to ask of you."
Xu Fan smiled and shook his head, replying, "Elder Guan, if you have sothing to ask of , please, just go ahead and say it."
It seed Elder Guan needed a favor, and since he had just lent a hand, Xu Fan felt, it was nothing much.
"Haha, since you don't mind, I'll speak frankly."
Elder Guan chuckled and said, "I have a friend who's fallen ill. He has sought many famous doctors to no avail. Xu Fan, I would like for you to help take a look."
"Ah? Grandfather, this..."
Guan Shing seed to guess who Elder Guan was talking about, and, with a grimace, she looked over at Xu Fan with a hesitant expression, seemingly pondering sothing.
Xu Fan didn't pay much attention to Guan Shing's odd behavior at the mont. He nodded and said, "Since you think highly of , I will certainly help take a look."
"Very well, there's no ti like the present, let's head to the hospital now."
Now that Xu Fan had agreed, Elder Guan didn't want to delay any further. He imdiately took them to the car and headed for a hospital in Jinling City.
It seed that the patient and Elder Guan had a very close relationship. Worried about the other's health, Elder Guan had the driver haste, and in no ti, they arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
"Xu Fan, follow ."
After getting out of the car, Elder Guan led the way, taking Xu Fan and Guan Shing into the inpatient departnt.
All the way there, Guan Shing was sowhat out of sorts, and Xu Fan noticed, frowning continuously.
"Little missy, what's wrong with you? Don't tell you're ill too?"
"No, I'm not..."
Guan Shing shook her head, clearly with sothing on her mind. She looked at Xu Fan with hesitation, then said, "Xu Fan, Grandpa Liu is a very kind person, please, you must help him later."
Xu Fan nodded, assuming her concern for the patient was the cause of her behavior. He smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, as long as it is within my power to cure, I'll make sure to heal him for you."
Upon entering the main building of the inpatient departnt, they quickly arrived at the patient's room, led by Elder Guan.
This was the highest level nursing room in Jinling City Hospital. On the hospital bed lay an elderly man, while a middle-aged couple cared for him by his side.
Elder Guan stopped at the door of the hospital room, sighed deeply, and said, "Xu Fan, the man in the bed is my old warti comrade. He has been suffering from this disease for many years now. I implore you to take good care of him..."
