Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 595 - 597: Let Me Love You Once More

Mrs. Jing’s smile stiffened as she said, "How could that be? Xiao Yao and Feiling have always had a good relationship." Their previous objections had been in vain.

Xia Xiao said, "So we can’t agree to a marriage on behalf of Feiling at this time, especially considering the friendship between Jing Yao and Feiling. We will also help Jing Yao recover from his leg injury, so Mrs. Jing doesn’t have to worry too much."

"Feiling is my youngest daughter, with four older brothers above her. Everyone in our family loves and protects Feiling and we certainly don’t want her to get hurt. If it’s not right, we don’t wish to proceed either. Your son Jing Yao is a good young man, and he has known Feiling for many years, so we do hope they can be together if it’s meant to be."

Xia Xiao smiled slightly. The Jing Family was prestigious, but his family was not inferior and did not need to curry favor with the Jing Family. They did not have to ask anything of them.

However, it was also because the Jing Family came to them with a good attitude. If they had come with a condescending attitude, then Xia Xiao and Zheng Xianghong would still have treated them well.

Zheng Xianghong laughed, "Yes, we all dote on Feiling as if she were the pearl in the palm of our hands. Just the other day, the child said she wouldn’t marry until she’s forty. We’re going along with her; as long as she’s happy, that’s what matters."

The Jing Family members tensed up. Jing Yao had been classmates with Feiling and was not much older than her. If Feiling intended to marry at forty, Jing Yao would be over forty by then.

Moreover, considering their son’s devotion, if Gao Feiling did not wish to marry, their son would really continue to wait. Therefore, the Jing Family members were all unsettled now.

Naturally, the marriage would no longer be brought up. Even if Xia Xiao wished to see his daughter well-married, a marriage should not be discussed in such a manner.

If they really agreed to it, it would be as though they were forcing Jing Yao to marry Feiling out of obligation, which would not be good for Feiling. The Gao Family would definitely not do this. Agreeing to save Jing Yao was one thing but not with marriage as the objective.

After the discussions were over, the Jing Family left with complex feelings in their hearts. They had assumed the Gao Family would be eager, but it turned out they were quite indifferent.

Jing Yao felt somewhat uncomfortable and said to Mrs. Jing, "Mom, do you think everyone is attracted to our family’s status? Your son is not so bad either, can’t he be liked for who he is?"

With a burst of laughter, Jing Xin laughed, and the corners of Jing Hao’s mouth curled.

Old Sir Jing said, "Indeed, marriage should not have been brought up."

"Father, I was thinking about Jing Yao and Feiling—they have a good relationship, and they are not young anymore. It would be best for them to marry after Jing Yao’s leg is healed..."

Father Jing said, "There’s no need to mention this matter again." He then looked at his younger son, "Your marriage, we will not oppose it anymore. If you wish to marry, then marry, but you must live your life well."

"Thank you, Dad." Jing Yao took a deep breath of relief.

That night, the members of the Jing Family all slept very well, especially Old Sir Jing, who was old and often had various aches and discomforts and did not sleep well.

But after a night of peaceful and restful sleep, Old Sir Jing woke up feeling refreshed. When he started eating the family’s food, he felt as if he could not eat the same flavors that he had eaten for so many years.

"Father, what’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Father Jing asked, seeing Old Sir Jing put down his chopsticks.

Old Sir Jing asked, "Did you all sleep well last night?"

"Yes." As soon as Father Jing replied, everyone else nodded, looking at Old Sir Jing with puzzled glances.

Old Sir Jing smiled, "I slept well too."

With that, the members of the Jing Family all laughed.

Old Sir Jing took a few more sips of porridge, then said to Jing Hao, "Check if there are any vacant houses near the Gao family, and buy one."

This statement surprised the members of the Jing Family.

Old Sir Jing did not say much. It had been a long time since he’d had a good night’s sleep. His sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren were young and healthy and naturally did not feel it, but it was very obvious to him.

Old Sir Jing hadn’t thought of anything else but felt that the feng shui at the Gao family’s place was good. Buying a house nearby would also make it more convenient to visit the Gao family.

Moreover, Old Sir Jing felt that the Gao family knew how to maintain their health quite well. Zheng Xianghong also gave Old Sir Jing a mysterious impression, after all, other doctors hadn’t been able to heal Jing Yao’s leg, but Zheng Xianghong had done it.

To Old Sir Jing, being skilled in acupuncture was akin to being a hidden master of medicine.

Ordinary people would not offend a person with great medical skills, because who knew when they might need to beg for their life to be saved? Furthermore, everyone fears death, especially the older one gets, the more one wishes for longevity.

And in the Gao family, Zheng Xianghong was concocting Black Ointment, treating rheumatism and other bone pains.

Xia Xiao laughed, "Actually, our family could open a medicine factory."

Zheng Xianghong’s eyes lit up, "That’s actually doable. I do have some prescriptions, but Li Min is a military doctor, and I’m not a licensed physician myself. At best, I could be considered a barefoot doctor."

Zheng Xianghong thought it over and then let it go.

Xia Xiao said, "Mom, tell me the methods, and I’ll write them down. When Shitou grows up, we can pass it on to Shitou, or to Weihuai. Isn’t my older brother planning on having Weihuai study medicine?"

Zheng Xianghong nodded, "Then you help me remember."

So Zheng Xianghong talked about prescriptions with Xia Xiao every day. She may not have known many characters, but she wasn’t illiterate either. As someone who had been studying medicine since she was young, she had a deep understanding of herbs due to her constant exposure and accumulated experience. Many of the effects had become instinctual knowledge for her.

Also, Zheng Xianghong listened to the radio every day, attending medical talks and seminars, and watched TV. She was always learning something new each day.

Because of Zheng Xianghong’s influence, Gao Guoqiang was also very knowledgeable about the medicinal use of herbs and often accompanied Zheng Xianghong to listen to the radio, watch TV, and gather herbs together.

At the zoo’s entrance, Feiteng frowned at Han Jiaojie standing there, "What are you doing here?"

"Feiteng, I came to see you." Han Jiaojie called out with a slight smile.

"I don’t need you to." Feiteng retorted.

Han Jiaojie bit her lip, "Actually, I came to apologize to you. Can you give me a moment to explain?"

"There’s no need." Feiteng turned to leave.

Han Jiaojie caught him, "Feiteng, please forgive me. I truly like you. When Jing Hao dated me but got intimate with another woman, I was angry and broke up with him. I don’t love him anymore. But my father forced me to date Jing Hao again, I had no choice. Can you understand me?"

"It’s not important anymore. We’ve already broken up. Whatever your reasons, you gave up on me then, so now there’s no need to start over." Feiteng looked at Han Jiaojie, "Go back, and don’t come here again."

"Feiteng," Han Jiaojie said through tears, "don’t be like this. I know I hurt you, and it hurts me too, but I hope you can give me a chance to make up for it, to let me love you again."
