CHAPTER 208: CHAPTER 207 THE BARRIER DISAPPEARS (2/3)

Watching Wei Xueqing cry, Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit soft-hearted. He softened his voice a little and said, "Don’t worry. As Ye Xin said, no matter what, we will still stand behind you and support you. As for what happened to your father, I have a responsibility. I will investigate it thoroughly and give you an explanation. Then you can decide what to do!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xueqing cried even harder.

"Who wants to deal with you?" Wei Xueqing grabbed Yang Chen and, while hitting him, cried and shouted, "What can I do to you? Even if I killed you, could it bring my dad back? Can it? Why? Why are you doing this to me! Why? Boohoo! I don’t want anything, I don’t want anything at all! Boohoo, I just want my dad back, can you do that? Why? Why is all of this happening?"

Seeing Wei Xueqing’s painful screaming, Yang Chen felt a pang of heartache.

Ye Xin and Chen Siyan, standing by, were also silently shedding tears.

Yang Chen sighed and, frowning, lifted his arm encased in a cast, embracing Wei Xueqing and said, "Time will give you the best answer. Be strong, deal with your father’s affairs first, and you have to support this family."

Wei Xueqing was stunned, feeling Yang Chen’s embrace, and clutched Yang Chen’s clothes tighter. Although she didn’t cry out anymore, Yang Chen could still feel Wei Xueqing’s trembling body and the warmth of tears soaking through his clothes.

Watching Yang Chen holding Wei Xueqing, Ye Xin felt a surge of jealousy. But she quickly dismissed this strange thought from her mind. One was her best friend, and the other was her trusted boyfriend. Nothing could possibly happen between them, let alone Yang Chen was only comforting Wei Xueqing.

As her boyfriend, Yang Chen should also have the responsibility to take care of Wei Xueqing. Now that Wei Xueqing’s father has passed away, Yang Chen should take care of her like a brother.

Ye Xin was very pleased with Yang Chen’s actions.

The barrier vanished, and Wei Xueqing seemed much better.

They all sat down to have some food, and Wei Xueqing’s complexion improved a bit.

After eating, Ye Xin and Chen Siyan took Wei Xueqing to change clothes and freshen up to recover her condition.

After a while, the Zhang family arrived.

"Young Brother Yang!"

"Brother Yang!"

"Brother Chen!"

Elder Zhang’s three grandsons used different forms of address.

Standing by, Zhang Shaoting’s mother couldn’t help but say, "Oh, you guys with these names."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "It’s alright, let’s keep each using our own."

Zhang Qishan nodded, looked at Yang Chen’s injuries, and asked, "Brother Zhang, what about the injuries on your body..."

"It’s alright, just minor injuries, they’ll be fine in a few days," Yang Chen said.

"Oh!" Zhang Qishan nodded and said to Yang Chen, "How did Old Wei pass away? So suddenly? I only got the news last night. What on earth happened?"

He had a good relationship with Wei Qingzhong. With his old friend gone, he felt very sad.

Yang Chen sighed and said, "I don’t know the exact situation either. According to Xueqing, when she came back, she saw Uncle Zhong lying on the chair as if he was asleep and only realized he was gone when she called him."

"That sudden? What did the doctors say?" Zhang Qishan asked, frowning.

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "The doctor said it was a myocardial infarction... I’m still investigating the exact situation."

"You mean to say..." Zhang Qishan widened his eyes, looking at Yang Chen in disbelief.

Yang Chen slightly shook his head and said in a low voice, "It’s hard to say for certain. Let’s talk about it later."

"Oh, oh!" Zhang Qishan’s expression turned solemn, and he said to Yang Chen, "If you need anything, just let me know. If I can help, I will, without hesitation!"

"Thanks in advance!" Yang Chen nodded and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Qishan.

"That’s what I should do!"

Yang Chen invited everyone to sit down, and the servants came up to serve tea.

Yang Chen looked at Elder Zhang and inquired, "Elder Zhang, have you recovered your health?"

After leaving the medication, he hadn’t checked on Elder Zhang’s condition. But from Yang Chen’s observation, based on complexion and demeanor, it seemed he had recovered.

Elder Zhang was delighted when he heard this and said, "Yes, everything is much better. Your medicine is truly miraculous! Just a few days and the illness that had troubled me for so many years was cured!"

"Yes, Brother Chen!" Zhang Shaoting chimed in, "You’re amazing. I knew my grandpa had this problem before, and many doctors and experts were powerless against it, but you solved it in no time! Brother Chen, I even told my grandpa that I want to learn medicine from you!"

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Xingzhou nodded with a cheerful smile and said, "This kid has been pestering me for a few days now. I brought him over. He’s never been so interested in anything before. If you have time, just teach him casually. How much he can learn depends on his ability!"

Yang Chen slightly frowned; he hadn’t planned on taking a disciple.

At this moment, Wei Xueqing came down from upstairs. Yang Chen couldn’t refuse and nodded, "We can discuss it when the time comes."

"That’ll do!" Zhang Xingzhou replied with a cheerful smile, knowing the matter was almost settled.

Zhang Shaoting looked very enthusiastic.

Zhang Qishan slapped Zhang Shaoting and said, "Don’t embarrass me, got it!"

Zhang Shaoting hurriedly said in a low voice, "Dad, I’m serious this time. I want to learn from Brother Chen. He’s amazing!"

In fact, Zhang Shaoting wasn’t only interested in medicine. He had also heard about the battle scene at the time, and the whole city was looking for Yang Chen—it was so awe-inspiring!

For the first time, he admired someone so much and was determined to follow Yang Chen and learn well.

At this time, Wei Xueqing came over, and Zhang Qishan stepped forward to console her, expressing his concern.

In fact, the more people try to comfort someone about such matters, the more they are reminded, and the more heartbroken the family becomes.

During the conversation, Wei Xueqing shed tears several times.

After talking with Zhang Qishan, since he was an old friend of Wei Qingzhong, and Wei Xueqing had no experience with such funerals, she didn’t understand much. So, Zhang Qishan stayed to help Wei Xueqing arrange these affairs.

First, contact Wei Qingzhong’s relatives and friends, notifying them one by one.

Second, set the time for the funeral, and notify when relatives and friends come to visit.

Zhang Qishan, indeed experienced, arranged everything in an orderly manner.

In the evening, Zhang Shaoting volunteered to drive Yang Chen, Ye Xin, Wei Xueqing, and Chen Siyan to the funeral home to visit Wei Qingzhong.

The funeral home at night was particularly eerie.

However, at this moment, there was no fear left in the group, just sadness.

Yang Chen walked ahead of them, worried the three girls might be scared, so he stayed close to them.

They had made arrangements beforehand, and as soon as they entered, someone came to greet them.

When Yang Chen saw the people inside, he knew everything was already arranged.
