From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Chapter 716: Chapter 686: Return

Zhou Renhe’s funeral in Jizhou City was quite a sensation, not only did many important figures make appearances, but past patients who had once benefited from Zhou Renhe’s kindness also came upon hearing the news.

In Xu Changshan’s view, these ordinary people who came spontaneously to pay their respects were even more touching. What a person does in life, the rights and wrongs, successes and failures, are determined by everyone. He had always held a prejudice against his elder brother, but through this funeral, he realized that his brother had done many good deeds in his life.

Xu Changshan even thought that one day when he himself passes, if there are so many patients who come to mourn him, it would mean his life as a doctor was without regret.

While Xu Changshan was pondering, he saw his son, Xu Jiaxuan, getting out of a taxi, looking travel-worn.

Xu Jiaxuan came up to his father: "Dad, I’m back!"

Xu Changshan looked at his son. Xu Jiaxuan was used to being scolded by him and was ready to be scolded again, but unexpectedly, Xu Changshan nodded and said, "It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back. Quick! Go pay your respects to your uncle."

Xu Jiaxuan already roughly understood the situation. He first went to the mourning hall to kneel, burn paper, and pay his respects to his uncle, then went back to the old house to change into funeral attire. His elder sister, Xu Jia’an, heard the news and came to help him put on the mourning clothes, whispering, "Jiaxuan, I’m still confused. How did we suddenly have an uncle?"

Xu Jiaxuan said, "That brat Chunliang didn’t explain to you?"

Xu Jia’an shook her head and said, "He’s so busy every day, I feel bad disturbing him."

Xu Jiaxuan said, "Anyway, there’s no mistake. Besides us, Dad has no other relatives. We must satisfy the elders this time."

Xu Jia’an sighed, "Dad was mad at me, upset I didn’t bring the kids over."

Xu Jiaxuan said, "The kids are grown now; they have their own matters."

"True enough," she replied.

"But no matter how important the matters, they need to be put aside first." Xu Jiaxuan suddenly said, leaving Jia’an stunned.

Xu Jia’an said, "I’ve asked them to come, they should be here today. Those two kids of mine never listened to me before. I always thought they were pretty outstanding, with higher education and good jobs, but now it seems in many things they can’t compare to Chunliang."

Xu Jiaxuan laughed, "Big sister, stop saying that. Even some things of mine can’t compare with his." He felt a bit annoyed, thinking to himself, "Can your two kids compare with my son? Even a real sister shouldn’t insult like this."

Xu Jiawen also came over, "Brother, are you tired? Go into the room and rest for a while, have you eaten?"

Xu Jiaxuan said, "Don’t make me laugh. I’m here for mourning, if I eat and sleep in, the elders would chase me with a stick."

The three siblings laughed together, but it was restrained. They all knew it wasn’t the time to laugh. In truth, they did not have strong feelings for this uncle who had appeared suddenly, so his death did not bring much emotional impact, but they were filial and greatly respected their father’s feelings.

Xu Chunliang came along with Mei Ruxue, and Mei Ruxue greeted, "Uncle Xu."

Xu Jiaxuan nodded with a smile and quickly went to find his suitcase. Xu Jiawen helped him drag it over. Xu Jiaxuan opened the suitcase and took out a watch box: "Xiaoxue, I came in a hurry this time and didn’t have time to pick a gift for you. This watch I bought at the airport."

Seeing the Patek Philippe logo, Mei Ruxue knew it was worth nearly half a million and quickly declined, "Uncle, it’s too expensive. I can’t accept it."

Xu Jiaxuan said, "You must accept it. You don’t look down on Xu Chunliang’s father, do you?"

Mei Ruxue felt a bit embarrassed, "Since you put it that way, I have to accept it. Thank you, Uncle."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, "This unreliable dad finally did something reliable. He probably heard about mom giving Mei Ruxue the bracelet," and stood to the side with a grin.

Xu Jiaxuan glared at him and said, "Brat, what are you grinning about? Help Xiaoxue put it on." For the first time in front of others, he had the dignity of a father.

Xu Chunliang quickly helped open the box. Mei Ruxue didn’t actually want to wear it right then, but with no choice, she saw it was a Patek Philippe with diamonds, a classic style, priced at nearly a million, she internally sighed, wondering what kind of wealth Xu Chunliang’s parents had.

Xu Jiaxuan saw the bracelet on Mei Ruxue’s wrist and immediately recognized it as one Feng Mingjun had worn before. This woman truly knew how to win people over.

Xu Chunliang intentionally said, "My dad’s flattering you; you have to be filial to him in the future."

Mei Ruxue blushed with embarrassment.

Xu Jiaxuan laughed heartily but quickly stopped, knowing it was not the right time for laughter.

Xu Chunliang let Mei Ruxue chat with the two aunts and took his father to the mourning hall. Xu Jiaxuan returned and burned paper, murmuring, "Son, sorry about last time."

Xu Chunliang replied, "You still have the nerve to mention it; let’s not talk about it today."

Xu Jiaxuan felt a bit guilty, understanding his son’s meaning to let him off today but intending to settle the score later.

Xu Jiaxuan softly asked, "So, how did you come to recognize each other?"

Xu Chunliang explained the sequence of events. Xu Jiaxuan nodded, "You did the right thing." As he burned the yellow paper, he murmured, "Uncle, I’m here to see you. Sorry, I didn’t have the chance to show you filial respect during your life, but rest assured, every year on your anniversary, I’ll have Chunliang burn paper and pay respects for you."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, "This sly old man, why can’t you burn paper and pay respects yourself?"

Xu Jiaxuan said, "Uncle, here’s money, take more for the journey and spend freely."

At this moment, someone else arrived. It was Mingde Group’s president, Huang Youlong.

Xu Chunliang had anticipated his appearance for a while. Although he had a strong dislike for Huang Youlong, he still had to courteously welcome him. When Xu Jiaxuan wasn’t here, Xu Chunliang managed things, but now that Xu Jiaxuan was here, it was naturally his responsibility to step forward. Xu Jiaxuan made a gesture to kneel, but he was clearly a beat slower.

Huang Youlong quickly stepped up to support him. Xu Chunliang followed up with an introduction, and Huang Youlong sized up Xu Jiaxuan briefly. He didn’t know much about Xu Jiaxuan, but he shook his hand and said, "Mr. Xu, my condolences!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Huang Youlong entered the mourning hall to pay his respects. After the ceremony, he found Xu Chunliang: "Town Mayor Xu, I came specifically today to say farewell to Mr. Zhou. If there’s anything you need my help with, just let me know."

Xu Chunliang said, "Thank you, there’s nothing I need from you."

Huang Youlong nodded and said, "After Mr. Zhou’s funeral, let’s find a chance to have a good talk."

Xu Chunliang, of course, understood what he wanted to discuss. His granduncle had transferred the Renhe Hall trademark to him. Mingde Group and Renhe Hall had deep cooperation, and due to this upheaval, the prospects of their cooperation had become unpredictable.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Sure, I’ll be waiting for Mr. Huang’s visit anytime in Dongzhou."

Huang Youlong said a few polite words, then got in his car and left.

Xu Jiaxuan asked, "Who was that? He seemed quite wealthy?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand. Since you’re here, just stay and hold the fort. I need to take a break."

"You brat, I’m your father. I flew across the Pacific Ocean."

"Just sit in the mourning hall to rest."

Not far away, Zhang Haitao waved at Xu Chunliang, seemingly wanting to say something. Xu Chunliang walked over.

Zhang Haitao whispered, "Town Mayor Xu, you were absolutely right. Renhe Hall is currently moving. Many things were moved out today, and it’s the same with the Zhou Family’s residence in the ancient city."

Xu Chunliang revealed a subtle smile. The Zhou Brothers were just that capable. Because Elder Zhou had transferred the family property to him, they were discontent and tried to cause trouble twice without success. They must have prepared for the worst, moving valuable things out first. Didn’t the old man leave the property to Xu Chunliang? Even if they couldn’t win the fight, they would empty the place of its valuables in advance.

Zhang Haitao asked, "Should we get someone to stop them?"

Xu Chunliang shook his head, "Let them move it. You just need to keep an eye on where they’re taking the stuff and keep the evidence. After things are settled here, I’ll settle accounts with them."

Zhang Haitao said, "Casting a long line to catch big fish?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Those two are nothing more than a couple of frogs."

It’s not that Xu Chunliang looked down on them, but their methods were simply not worth mentioning.

After Huang Youlong left, he also went to Renhe Hall. Seeing the moving truck parked outside, he couldn’t help but frown. After entering Renhe Hall, he saw Zhou Yi Wu directing workers to move.

Zhou Yi Wu clearly had pent-up frustration, shouting, "Move everything out for me! Be careful, these antiques and paintings are worth a lot."

Huang Youlong coughed behind him, and only then did Zhou Yi Wu realize someone was there. He turned around to see Huang Youlong, and quickly showed respect, "President Huang, why are you here? You should have given a heads-up; I would have come to welcome you!"

Huang Youlong said, "What’s going on here? Renhe Hall closing down, or starting something new?"

Zhou Yi Wu sighed, "You don’t know the situation." He was full of grievances and briefly explained what had happened.

Huang Youlong said, "So you moved things out first?"

Zhou Yi Wu said, "It’s precautionary. We can’t let the stuff from our Zhou Family benefit outsiders for no reason."

Huang Youlong asked, "Where’s your brother?"

Zhou Yi Wu said, "Not sure, maybe he went to find a lawyer."

Huang Youlong asked, "Have you carefully studied Mr. Zhou’s will?"

Zhou Yi Wu said, "He wrote the will behind our backs. He must have been deceived by Xu Chunliang. The will is not legal, we absolutely do not acknowledge it. This time, we must see the lawsuit to the end."

Huang Youlong said, "Since their lawyer dares to take it, the will must be legal. Elder Zhou was so shrewd, he had everything prepared in advance."

Zhou Yi Wu, raising this matter, gnashed his teeth in hatred, "He’s really confused; he can’t tell between those close and distant."

Huang Youlong asked, "Do you know if he’s listed everything here on an inventory?"

Zhou Yi Wu froze for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Here’s a little more as the first update!
