Chapter 196: Meeting the parents and striking while the iron is hot

There was a sudden crunching sound, as if something was broken. The secret guard felt strange but did not dare to raise his head to check due to Dong Lingjiu's majesty.

But then he felt a gust of wind blowing towards his face. When he came to his senses again, Dong Lingjiu's footsteps had disappeared from his eyes.

The secret guard timidly raised his head and saw that no one around was sure that Dong Lingjiu had left. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground and calmed down for a while, with a slight chill still running down his back.

"I...did I escape death?"

It was obviously just a routine report, but there was a sense of immediate aftermath, which showed how angry Dong Lingjiu was.

In Xue Mansion, the hall was filled with excitement due to Xia Tan'er's arrival.

The head of the Xue family was sitting at the head of the table, accompanied by Mrs. Xue. Their eyes never left Xia Tan'er's entrance, and the love in their eyes almost overflowed.

Looking at her with such scorching eyes, Xia Tan'er could only stand or sit down, so she could only pretend to be very busy with the chopsticks in her hands but she didn't know what to pick. She always felt that this was a blind date. It's from the other person's parents, not to mention how awkward it is.

Feeling the atmosphere at the table and Xia Tan'er's embarrassment, Xue Chen tugged at Yu Wenyue's sleeves.

Yu Wenyue looked at Xue Chen with a strange look on his face. Seeing Xue Chen raise his chin, he looked around and immediately understood what Xue Chen meant.

"Father and mother, I'm sorry I forgot to introduce you to the delicious food. This is Miss Xia Tan'er Xia, the doctor who will treat A Chen's eyes in a few days."

"Miss Tan'er, these two are Achen's parents."

After all, she is a junior, and Xia Tan'er doesn't want to lose her etiquette in front of outsiders. If words of contempt for her elders are spread, the Lu family may also be scolded, and she doesn't want to be the sinner.

When Xia Tan'er saw Yu Wenyue finished his introduction, he immediately stood up and saluted the Xue family head and his wife.

"Tan'er has met Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue."

"You are a good and polite boy. Miss Tan'er, please take a seat quickly. According to etiquette, it is our husband and wife who should salute you."

"How can this be done? How can I, a junior, afford such a great gift from Patriarch Xue and Mrs. Xue."

"That's right. If it weren't for your superb medical skills, Miss Xia, I'm afraid Chen'er would never have the possibility of regaining his sight in this life."

As she spoke, Mrs. Xue's eyes filled with tears, and her voice could not help but sob.

Xia Tan'er was most afraid of seeing this kind of scene. The one thing she couldn't learn the most was to comfort people. She was such a pitiful and helpless person, so how could she have the heart to comfort these people who at least had families.

The head of the Xue family was also a discerning person. Seeing Xia Tan'er standing there at a loss, he quickly spoke to comfort Mrs. Xue.

"Madam, please don't cry. Chen'er is lucky to meet a woman like Miss Xia. It is my Xue family's good fortune. We are here together today. How can we cry on such a good day."

"I also ask for your forgiveness, Miss Xia. Madam has been worried about Chen'er for more than twenty years. Now that she knows that Chen'er has a chance to regain her sight, she is really crying with joy."

"I see."

Xia Tan'er cast a grateful look at the head of the Xue family, and just as the matter of regaining her sight happened to be mentioned, Xia Tan'er decided to settle down all the things that needed to be settled in one go, so as not to have to worry about it later.

"But Mr. Xue, have you asked Qin Tian Jian to choose an auspicious day? I have already made all the preparations and will send Mr. Xue. After the operation and some training, Mr. Xue will be able to regain his sight. If not, you still need to It’s better to make a decision early, I will be very busy later.”
