Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 594 - 596: Unite if Compatible, Scatter if Not
Feiling now isn’t thinking too much, only hoping that Jing Yao would get better. As for whether they would be together after Jing Yao recovered, Feiling hadn’t thought about it. For now, she would just follow her heart.
Feiling said to Jing Yao, "I’m going to the harbor today, and I’ll come to see you when I get back."
Ge Lai had collaborated with a foreign company on a big film, which was about to start filming, so Feiling was heading there today.
Jing Yao paused, and then said, "I’ll have Big Brother take you to the airport."
Feiling shook her head, "No need, I drove here. My agent will come to pick me up at home at two in the afternoon."
"That’s fine. Bring a few more bodyguards. The harbor can be a bit chaotic; be careful with your safety," Jing Yao advised.
Feiling hummed softly and then caught sight of some documents on the side. Her eyes were too sharp, and she was taken aback.
"From Tianyu?" Feiling asked.
"Yeah, just collecting it for fun when I’m bored," Jing Yao said, and right after he finished, Jing Hao, who was eating breakfast on the other side, snorted with laughter, not sure who was the one obsessing over acquiring Tianyu, paving the way for their loved one even with leg injuries from the car accident.
"Bro, you should head back," Jing Yao said to Jing Hao, who was acting like a third wheel.
Jing Hao rolled his eyes. He wouldn’t bother arguing with someone with a disabled leg. After finishing his breakfast and wiping his mouth with a napkin, he grabbed his jacket and car keys and left.
That morning, Feiling massaged Jing Yao and accompanied him with his rehabilitation.
By noon, Feiling had driven back, bringing Zheng Xianghong with her. After Jing Yao had finished eating, Zheng Xianghong started to perform acupuncture on him.
Jing Yao said excitedly, "I just felt a bit of pain."
Zheng Xianghong smiled and said, "It seems that the acupuncture is effective for you."
Feiling was also happy, "Grandma is really amazing."
Jing Yao nodded and said, "Grandma is amazing. I’ve had acupuncture from doctors before, but it never worked."
Feiling bragged with a smile, "My grandma might not have a medical license, but her medical skills are second to none."
Zheng Xianghong waved her hand, "Your grandma isn’t that amazing, but treating many people does bring experience."
After Zheng Xianghong gave Jing Yao the acupuncture treatment, Feiling said goodbye to him and went back home with Zheng Xianghong.
Xia Xiao, upon hearing about Jing Yao’s condition, was also happy. It’s a good sign that the leg still had feeling.
At two in the afternoon, Feiling left with her agent, assistant, and bodyguards.
On Jing Yao’s side, Father Jing and Mrs. Jing didn’t come over, but Jing Xin and Jing Hao did.
"Big Brother, Big Sister, I could feel my leg today." After Feiling and Zheng Xianghong had left, Jing Yao had been very excited, and as soon as his siblings arrived, he couldn’t wait to tell them.
"Really?" Jing Xin’s eyes lit up, happy for her little brother.
Jing Hao raised an eyebrow, smiling, "The power of love is indeed great." It’s been a year since the surgery, and despite continued rehabilitation with no response, it only took two days with Gao Feiling for my brother’s leg to respond.
"Yes, today Feiling brought Grandma over to give me acupuncture. There was no feeling yesterday, but today there is," Xianghong said.
As soon as Jing Yao’s words fell, Jing Hao and Jing Xin paused simultaneously, not expecting that it was Gao Feiling’s grandmother who had performed the acupuncture.
Jing Hao then invited a specialist doctor to examine Jing Yao, but it was the same old saying: Jing Yao’s body was recovering, and as long as he persisted with rehabilitation, there was always hope.
The next morning, the whole Jing family pushed Jing Yao in a wheelchair to the Gao family, requesting Zheng Xianghong to treat Jing Yao’s leg.
Father Jing, Mrs. Jing, Jing Hao, and Jing Xin, even Old Sir Jing had also come. The matter had come to Old Sir Jing’s attention only the previous night. He nearly had a fit of rage, how could such a major issue not have been reported to him, did they still regard him as the head of the family?
At that time, only Xia Xiao, Zheng Xianghong, Gao Guoqiang, and a few of the grandchildren were at the Gao family’s home. Feiteng had gone to the construction site and flew back to the zoo early this morning.
The Jing family did not yet have any great-grandchildren; their grandchildren were all unmarried, so when Old Sir Jing arrived at the Gao family’s house, seeing their twins and Xiao Shu, he couldn’t help but envy them, thinking how his own grandchildren were all of age yet had not settled their marital affairs.
Jing Yao had a good relationship, but it had fallen through due to family disapproval. As if it weren’t enough that his house was leaking on a rainy night, he had the further misfortune of being in a car accident that left him crippled. How could Old Sir Jing not be angry?
Of course, this was also Old Sir Jing’s current thinking. If Jing Yao had brought home Spirit earlier, Old Sir Jing might not have agreed.
But now things were different, Jing Yao’s leg had a chance of recovery without going abroad. Naturally, the Jing family saw hope. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Moreover, everyone in the Jing family knew of Jing Yao’s feelings for Gao Feiling; even Jing Yao’s room and the sick ward were filled with things related to Gao Feiling.
Father Jing and Mrs. Jing were very helpless, and it was somewhat awkward for them to be asking favors from others at this time.
Zheng Xianghong helped Jing Yao with acupuncture while Xia Xiao went to cook. Gao Guoqiang watched the grandchildren and chatted with Old Sir Jing.
As the guests had arrived, Xia Xiao immediately served the Jing family a simple meal. They cooked whatever vegetables were available at home; it was just some simple home-cooked food.
"We’ve only got some humble food and drink, I hope you don’t mind," Xia Xiao said with a light smile as she brought out the dishes.
The Jing family looked at the dishes on the table: soybean paste steamed fish, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, green beans and eggplant with minced pork, bitter melon scrambled with eggs, three-shreds stir-fried noodles, fried tofu, soybean and pumpkin soup, garlic stir-fried vegetables, and a seaweed egg drop soup.
"It’s quite a feast already," Old Sir Jing smiled, "We’ve come uninvited today, and we appreciate your hospitality."
"Yes, we are really sorry to intrude," Mrs. Jing also spoke up, and Father Jing nodded in agreement.
Although these were home-style dishes, they looked quite appetizing and inviting, showing the host’s care and effort.
But upon tasting, the Jing family was surprised; they hadn’t expected Xia Xiao’s cooking to be so good. Mrs. Jing also knew how to cook; she used to be the one cooking at home, but the flavors weren’t very impressive. However, back in that era, expectations weren’t high; as long as the food was filling, it was sufficient.
And Mrs. Jing hadn’t needed to cook for many years, as there were housekeepers at home for that. Perhaps it was because food from another’s home always seemed to smell better, but upon comparison, the housekeepers’ cooking was not as appetizing as that of the Gao family.
After the meal, to facilitate Jing Yao’s leg treatment, and considering Zheng Xianghong’s old age, who couldn’t be expected to run to the hospital or the Jing family home to treat Jing Yao, it was agreed that the Jing family would bring Jing Yao to the Gao family every day.
At this time, Mrs. Jing brought up the matter of Jing Yao and Spirit getting married. Jing Yao hurriedly called out, "Mom."
Xia Xiao restrained her smile and said, "Mrs. Jing, what’s important now is treating Jing Yao’s leg. As for the children’s affairs, let’s leave it up to them. If they are meant to be together, they will be, and if not, they will part ways; it all depends on fate. Our family also puts a lot of stock in fate. If it’s meant to be, it will happen; if not, we shouldn’t force it. Once Jing Yao’s leg condition is better, if your family is interested, and if the two children can’t be without each other, our families can sit down and discuss their marriage. But if they discover they have incompatible personalities upon further interaction, there’s no need to talk about it now, don’t you think?"
