Village Doctor's Women-Chapter 131 - 126 Talk to Xu Changqing

After leaving the Ren family’s home, Wang Jian had Xu Qian comfort Xiao Yu in the living room. He then pulled Cai Qiong directly into the courtyard to speak with her in a low voice, clearly afraid that Ren Yu might overhear.

"Your Cai family must have some impressive lawyers, right?"

Cai Qiong was taken aback. "Of course. What’s wrong?"

"Just a small matter," Wang Jian said with a smile, pointing back toward the living room. "This sister of mine, growing up, would either be bullied to death or, after an outburst, become so headstrong that nothing could stop her. Since she made such a decision today, as her brother, I naturally have to help clean up the aftermath for her."

Wang Jian paused before continuing, "After all... I don’t want Ren Jiacheng shamelessly showing up at our door in the future, acting like a deadbeat. My sister is soft-hearted and might get taken advantage of. So... I want you to help me file for a restraining order. I want to legally restrict him so that if he ever shows up again, he’ll be in for a world of hurt."

"Are you so sure?" Cai Qiong nodded. The matter wasn’t difficult for her. She could probably even handle it without the involved parties being present. She was just curious. "That Ren Jiacheng will come back?"

"Heh," Wang Jian chuckled. "When I first came back from Capital City and opened the village clinic, this Uncle Ren of mine suddenly started trying to get close to me and Ren Yu. I’d never seen him act like that before."

"Besides, he loves to gamble. Six million yuan probably won’t last him very long. Sooner or later, he’ll be back for more money. If Ren Yu were to remain a student with no money, that would be one thing. But once she becomes a doctor, she’s bound to have some savings, and she could easily become his personal ATM. She hasn’t thought of that, but I have to."

"You know what I mean, right?"

After such a long explanation, Cai Qiong certainly understood. She immediately made a call to her family. When she was finished, she nodded at Wang Jian, and they returned to the living room together.

"Thank you all."

Not long after arriving at the Wang family home, Ren Yu was already feeling much better. It seemed that simply not having to look at that man was a great relief, though Wang Jian knew she was mostly putting on a brave face.

"Silly girl!" Hearing Ren Yu’s words of thanks, Xu Qian couldn’t hold back. She sat on the sofa and pulled Ren Yu into a hug. "There’s nothing to thank us for. Your Brother Jian is right. From now on, you’ll live with us. Your Brother Jian has money, so we’ll live a good life. It’s no big deal. It’s all in the past now!"

"Yes! It’s all in the past!"

Cai Qiong didn’t actually know Ren Yu well, but the events that had just unfolded were more than enough to fill her with pity for the girl. She gently rubbed Ren Yu’s back, echoing Xu Qian’s comforting words.

"Alright," Wang Jian interjected at the perfect moment. "Tonight, Xiao Yu will stay with Xu Qian."

No one objected. The three women exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Before he could say more, a sound came from the doorway. When they saw the visitor, everyone froze. Xu Qian and Cai Qiong didn’t recognize the man and were initially baffled, but when Wang Jian stepped forward to greet him, they understood.

"Master?"

Xu Qian and the other two women were visibly shocked. From Wang Jian’s form of address, they realized this man was his master. They had always imagined Wang Jian’s master to be a man in his seventies, so they never expected to see someone who looked to be in his forties or fifties. Although his hair was white, it couldn’t hide his youthful appearance.

The three women watched with great interest as Wang Jian and Xu Changqing went out into the courtyard to talk. It only took a few glances for them to understand that Wang Jian and his master had an excellent relationship. After all, the look in Wang Jian’s eyes the moment he saw his master was impossible to fake. Even if they had no other skills, they knew how to read a person by their eyes.

Wang Jian was surprised as well. When he returned with the three women, he knew someone had been following them. He originally thought it was Chairman Kang, but it turned out to be his master.

Of course, he had no idea that Chairman Kang had, in fact, tried to follow him. Kang had been separated from them by the crowd, lost them completely, and had now returned to the Ren family’s house to lie in wait.

As for Xu Changqing, he had arrived quite early. He’d actually shown up at the Ren’s house because of the commotion even before Wang Jian did. After all, despite his age, Xu Changqing still loved to watch a good show. He just never expected that this time, the drama would land on his own doorstep. With his keen eyes, he could naturally tell that the young girl, Ren Yu, had feelings for his disciple.

Xu Changqing glanced inside, smiled at the three women, then lowered his voice to speak with Wang Jian. He didn’t answer Wang Jian’s question, instead asking one of his own. "Is the girl feeling any better?"

The moment he spoke, Wang Jian knew his master was aware of the entire situation.

"A little," Wang Jian nodded. "Actually, this is a good thing for her." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Only then did Xu Changqing nod. "Yes, indeed. Having a father like that... It’s good that she can see things clearly. She’ll need to be careful from now on."

Hearing this, Wang Jian smiled. "I had the young lady of the Cai family do me a small favor and file for a restraining order against that guy. If he dares to show up again, I’ll make him regret it."

Xu Changqing smiled in satisfaction. He had been worried his disciple might not be so thorough, but it seemed the boy had gained some real-world experience over the years.

"Well done." But Xu Changqing’s mind was already elsewhere. He glanced toward the living room, his smile growing more suggestive. "So, tell your master, what’s your relationship with the three women in there?"

The smile was so deliberate that Wang Jian instantly understood his master’s implication.

He replied, completely exasperated, "Master, don’t let your imagination run wild."

"Oh, really?" Xu Changqing squinted. "Xiao Jian, I have to give you a word of warning. Although your... body is very strong now, you still need to take it easy. Don’t be too reckless with matters of the heart. These things can run deeper than you think."

"..."

Listening to his master, it seemed he knew about the human pill. The underlying message, however, clearly indicated he had noticed the entanglements between Wang Jian, Xu Qian, and Ren Yu. But Wang Jian didn’t get it. His relationship with Cai Qiong was completely innocent, so what entanglement could there be? Yet his master’s tone suggested he thought there was something going on with all three of them.

Moreover... Wang Jian gave Xu Changqing a strange look. "Master, if I remember correctly, you’re a Taoist. How do you seem to know so much about the affairs of men and women?"

"Ah, well..." Xu Changqing coughed nervously, a hint of embarrassment on his face. "I’m your master! I’ve lived a long time and seen it all, so don’t get smart with me."

With that, he made a motion as if to swat Wang Jian, who quickly dodged out of the way.

"Alright! Let’s get down to business," Xu Changqing said, changing the subject. "The matter in that village has been taken care of. If you run into any trouble in the future, you can call this number."

As he spoke, Xu Changqing took out his phone and sent a number to Wang Jian. "This is for a kid named Feng Yan."

He continued, "Although the kid had some bad luck on his last mission, it was a fluke. He’s very reliable. He’s expected to retire after this summer, which makes it the perfect time for him to start following you."

Wang Jian was stunned. "Follow me? Is that really necessary?"

He was just a doctor. Having a special forces soldier follow him seemed like a complete waste of resources.

But Xu Changqing shot him a look and said earnestly, "Trust me, it’s absolutely necessary."

After saying this, he patted Wang Jian’s shoulder. Wang Jian could hardly refuse and, under his master’s watchful gaze, added Feng Yan’s contact information.

In truth, Xu Changqing was brimming with unspoken complaints and didn’t even know where to begin. His disciple’s constitution was perfect for Qi Cultivation, but his luck was so absurd that strange things always seemed to happen around him. Xu Changqing wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if Wang Jian told him he’d run into foreign spies one day. For a disciple like this, he naturally had to take extra care.

Back in Capital City, he had friends who could look out for him. Now that Wang Jian was back in his hometown, it was more reliable to have someone by his side.

However, Xu Changqing was just arranging for some help. Given Wang Jian’s current physical state after consuming the human pill, it was only a matter of time before his Qi Cultivation reached a ridiculous level. At that point, he would no longer have to worry about Wang Jian’s safety. By then, he himself might no longer be in this world.

"Xiao Jian!" Xu Changqing said. "After you consumed that human pill, have you noticed any changes in your body?"

This was something Xu Changqing was intensely curious about. Although the item was mentioned in ancient texts, almost no one had ever consumed one. So, even with over seventy years of life experience, he still didn’t understand it.
