Chapter 168: You Should Call Me Mother-in-Law
In Tang Guoqiang's eyes, although this new son-in-law made a good impression on him in terms of bone structure, his way of speaking was too blunt. He had even blurted out things about groping and touching, how could he talk like that in front of his mother-in-law?
If a street thug said such things to his wife, with Tang Guoqiang's temper, he would have slapped him across the face by now.
However, this kid was brought back by his daughter. Moreover, after all these years, he had not allowed his daughter to come home because of that scoundrel named Lin. Sometimes, Tang Guoqiang thought he had gone too far and felt guilty towards his daughter. He couldn't let Xiao Yun make her unhappy again.
Tang Guoqiang was trying hard to hold back his anger, but he felt he should give this kid a verbal warning. He cleared his throat softly and was about to say something when he suddenly saw Wang Yu acting shy like a young girl, whispering to Xiao Yun, "Oh, now that you mention it, I really do remember... there was indeed such a thing!"
Uh, there really was something?
Tang Guoqiang widened his eyes and stared at his wife.
The words that were just at the tip of his tongue had to be swallowed back down.
As for Tang Guoqiang's displeased expression, Xiao Yun completely ignored it and focused intently on Wang Yu, asking, "Hmm, can you tell me what happened back then? Please be specific and don't leave out any details. What exactly happened?"
His mother-in-law was groped and touched, and he wanted her to elaborate on it without missing any details?
What on earth was this kid thinking? Why was he speaking so coldly without any hesitation!
Tang Guoqiang stared at Xiao Yun and noticed the serious look on his face. At that moment, his eyes revealed a complex expression.
He found himself unable to understand this new son-in-law.
But from the calm expression on the young man's face, it seemed he was quite confident. Suddenly, Tang Guoqiang felt that this young man in front of him had become somewhat mysterious.
Wang Yu hesitated for a moment and recalled, "I remember that afternoon, I took the bus to Mingzhu University for class. The bus was crowded, and just as I was about to get off, someone rushed in front of me and behind me... pinched me hard, then slipped a hand into my waist... I was both embarrassed and angry. When I wanted to call the police, that person had already slipped away. Later, when I got to school and had just stepped onto the podium, I suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital..."
"Just as I expected!" Xiao Yun nodded and said, "This method is very despicable. While he attacked the most sensitive part of a woman, he took advantage of her shyness, anger, and tension to inject a wave of evil energy into your waist, causing your bones to mutate and leading to paralysis in your lower limbs. Auntie, since I'm here today, heh heh, in just a moment I will make you stand up from the wheelchair!"
"Are... are you serious?" Wang Yu could hardly believe her ears.
Tang Guoqiang was even more shocked, exclaiming, "Kid, you can't be bragging, can you?"
It's no joke; as a descendant of a traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic family, he had put in a lot of effort for his wife, even resigning from high-ranking positions. How could this guy claim he could make her stand up in just a moment? Was he not afraid of having his tongue cut off for such big talk?
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Without bones one cannot stand; without knowledge one cannot write. Uh, do I look like someone who is bragging?"
Tang Guoqiang carefully examined Xiao Yun again. The young man's bone structure showed no signs of frivolity; he didn't seem to have any superficial traits. If he said he could help his wife stand up from the wheelchair in just moments, it indeed felt unreal.
Xiao Yun seemed oblivious to the old man's scrutinizing gaze and cheerfully said, "Please help me out, Uncle. Lift Auntie onto the bed; I'm going to perform surgery on her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a paintbrush appeared in his hand.
Performing surgery with a paintbrush was something Tang Guoqiang had never seen before. Whether he was confused by this lunatic or if there was something wrong with his own mind, he ended up following Xiao Yun's instructions in a daze.
Looking at his "mother-in-law" curled up on the bed like a snake, Xiao Yun took out other items. Fortunately, Wang Yu's bones had not undergone any changes; there was no need for bone replacement. He only needed to use a wave of Spiritual Energy to expel the evil energy from her bone seams and then correct her distorted bones with a drawing of bone structure.
Whoosh!
Swish! Swish!
Paper, ink, and other items appeared on the table as if by magic.
In the blink of an eye, a perfect Skeletal Diagram was drawn. Tang Huaqiang increasingly felt that something was wrong with his mind; was he in a hallucination?
Dazed, he watched as the young man placed the drawing on the lady's back and gave her a massage. With a snap of his fingers after ten minutes, he said, "Auntie, try getting up and walking a few steps!"
Walk a few steps?
After being fooled by this kid for just a moment, she could walk?
Did he think this was some kind of skit?
"Xiao Yun, can I really get out of bed and walk?"
He didn't know what kind of charm this kid had given the lady; her tone sounded like a bride experiencing her first night, breathless and indescribably charming.
Tang Guoqiang stared blankly, unable to speak.
"Auntie, you can! Just give it a try!"
Seeing Tang Guoqiang sitting there like a statue, Xiao Yun didn't mind. He took on the demeanor of a son-in-law and gently helped Wang Yu down from the bed.
One foot touched the ground, but the other leg hesitated to follow.
It was no wonder; after years in a wheelchair, she had been deemed hopeless by the medical community. Now, suddenly standing up felt like something out of legend.
In this situation, even Tang Guoqiang felt a bit dazed, as if he were in a dream. His daughter had finally found a new boyfriend, and from a bone structure perspective, he seemed quite suitable. But could he be lacking in intelligence...
As he thought this, he noticed Xiao Yun had already taken the initiative to half-support Madam.
"Auntie, don't be nervous. Um... alright, now take a couple of steps..."
"Can I really walk?"
At that moment, Wang Yu seemed to focus all her hopes on this young man.
That gaze, that longing...
"Of course you can..."
Suddenly!
Clap! Clap!
A pair of flip-flops made a crisp sound on the wooden floor as Wang Yu, without anyone's assistance, finally took her first step, then the second, and the third...
She walked from the bedroom to the living room.
After making a circle in the living room.
Shock—an overwhelming shock—was fully reflected in Tang Guoqiang's eyes.
Could this be a dream? He secretly pinched his waist hard; a sharp pain made his mouth twitch slightly.
This is not a dream. He had spent years studying orthopedics for his wife's illness, unknowingly helping countless others along the way, yet he could not heal his own woman.
However, in just a moment, a painting by Xiao Yun cured her.
Could he be magical? In the political arena, Tang Guoqiang had always been a very powerful figure who never bowed to anyone, but now he had no choice but to admire this young man before him deeply.
At that moment, a tremendous wave surged within Tang Guoqiang's heart.
"Auntie, you just got out of the wheelchair; walk slowly!" Xiao Yun said anxiously, closely following her and completely ignoring Tang Guoqiang, who stood aside like a fool.
Uh, Wang Yu suddenly turned back with a smile: "What did you call me?"
"Auntie!"
"Wrong!"
"I called it wrong?"
Wang Yu seemed to look at him with some resentment: "You should call me mother-in-law!"
"Ah—" Suddenly, a sharp scream echoed from the living room. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
