Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Blocking the Door
Their dinner hadn’t yet dispersed.
But outside, the sound of the door next door being knocked reverberated thunderously.
Everyone instantly fell silent, listening closely, it seemed to be coming from An Zhiyuan’s place, all eyes turned in that direction, "Chief An, it seems that you have guests at your house."
With a furrowed brow, An Zhiyuan realized that it was already past eight in the evening. Around here, apart from his comrades in the forces, he hardly knew anyone else. It was almost impossible for someone to drop by for a visit at this hour.
Bai Xiao looked at An Zhiyuan too, since he didn’t have friends or relatives around here, it was even less likely for someone to visit their home at this time.
Their kind of house did not have good sound insulation. Any sound from the corridor was almost clearly audible, especially since their dining area was located right now in the house where the dining room and living room were not separated. When there were many people, the table was placed directly inside the living room, which faced the front door.
At this moment, they immediately heard unintelligible foreign language from outside.
Bai Xiao instantly recalled the foreigners who had blocked their car earlier; these people were really persistent.
"Ignore them, they’re foreign experts from our hospital. They already intercepted me once when I got off work today, and I didn’t expect them to show up at home now to pester," Bai Xiao realized that these foreign experts probably didn’t get an answer from him at the hospital during the day and decided to come over in the evening to persuade him! It was truly laughable.
Wei Jianling, definitely a gossip lover, perked up at the mention of foreign experts. In their small, modest place, encountering a couple of foreigners was an oddity that would draw crowds; to see big noses, blue eyes, and blonde hair was something many had never witnessed before.
"Doctor Bai, what are those foreign experts doing at your place?"
It wasn’t just Wei Jianling who was curious; everyone in the house, including Director Zhang, found it strange.
With a smile, Bai Xiao said, "I’ve finished eating, and Li Jiao, if you’re done too, let’s go into the room and I’ll do the acupuncture for you." He joked, as if he would satisfy her curiosity.
Li Jiao immediately put down her chopsticks. Eating couldn’t compare to receiving acupuncture from Doctor Bai.
"I’ve been full for a while now. I used to not exercise much, and would feel very full after eating just a little." She tried to stand up, but her daughter quickly came to her aid. Li Jiao chuckled and waved her hand,
"No need, I had you help me yesterday, but this morning I found that I could stand up on my own with some support." Indeed, with one hand resting on the table, she stood up, though Zhang Han still went over to help her, "Doctor Bai has said you’re only beginning to recover. Don’t rush it. Haste does not bring success."
Li Jiao gently stretched out her hand and vigorously ruffled her daughter’s soft hair, playfully chiding, "I know, little housekeeper."
Zhang Han proudly smiled as she helped her mother into the room.
After informing everyone, Bai Xiao went in as well.
An Zhiyuan was also aware that, recently, Bai Xiao had been coming to Director Zhang’s house every other day to administer acupuncture to Li Jiao.
His eyes twinkled, but the meaning behind them was not discernible to others.
As Bai Xiao began the acupuncture session for Li Jiao, he instructed her, "Because you’ve been lying in bed for many years, your leg muscles have atrophied a bit, even though your daughter regularly massages you. Therefore, when walking, don’t push to go too fast too soon. It’s better to use a walking stick initially and gradually exercise the leg muscles. Trying to hurry the process can be counterproductive; if you injure the muscles, you may need to rest for a while before you can continue recovery." 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
She divided the acupuncture treatment into four sessions, to make the sensation of receiving medical treatment feel more authentic.
Her "special ability" was now absolutely safe. If anyone still suspected her after this, they were out of their minds.
