Since high school, Zhou Wenting had been studying abroad due to her parentsā divorce. Influenced deeply by Western culture, including her fashion sense, she looked more stylish than most.
Furthermore, she had the physique and the financial means to support it.
However, Zhou Wenting found it odd. Ye Qiu was quite wealthy, so why did he dress so casually?
Ye Qiu was carrying two suitcases for Zhou Wenting, which contained her clothing. Of course, her wardrobe from her years at Marseille University was not limited to these. There was also a lot of miscellaneous stuff; some were discarded, and some were shipped back to her mother, Wang Yulianās villa.
These were the most important items, which she had not sent through shipping.
Still, those two suitcases were very heavy. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu picked them up with ease, which made Zhou Wenting even more curious.
Upon reaching Ye Qiuās Mercedes AMG, Zhou Wenting realized that Ye Qiu indeed drove a luxury car.
"Did you buy this car?"
"Itās definitely mine," Ye Qiu replied, after placing the two suitcases in the trunk and looking at her.
As Zhou Wenting got into the passenger seat, Ye Qiu asked, "Where to now?"
"Letās go to my motherās place first."
Although her relationship with her father had improved somewhat last time due to his illness, Zhou Wenting felt uneasy at the thought of her stepmother, Liu Yu, and did not want to meet her.
This time back in Jinling, Zhou Wenting knew she would either stay at her motherās place or move out on her own. There was no way she would move back in with her father.
Her eldest sister Zhou Yuxia, second sister Zhou Lili, third sister Zhou Haiyan, her brother-in-law, and nephews all lived at her fatherās villa, which Zhou Wenting was well aware of.
However, she still couldnāt accept her parentsā divorce and her father marrying a much younger secretary as her stepmother.
Wang Yulianās villa was a place Ye Qiu had visited before; he still remembered the way and focused on driving there.
Zhou Wenting examined Ye Qiu from head to toe. Seeing that Ye Qiu was silent, she asked, "Donāt you have anything to ask me?"
"What should I ask you about?"
Considering that the two had only met three or four times, and were not even acquaintances, what could Ye Qiu ask her?
"So many things!"
Life, work, academics; in Zhou Wentingās view, there were many things to inquire about. Yet, Ye Qiu didnāt ask anything, and she had no idea what he was really thinking.
"You and I are from different worlds. Whatās there to ask?" Ye Qiu said.
"You!" Zhou Wenting didnāt want to continue the conversation and leaned back in her seat, then called her eldest sister, Zhou Yuxia.
Zhou Yuxia had just returned to work at Zhou Dabao Group Company when she saw the call from her youngest sister. She asked, "Little sister, are you back in Jinling?"
"Big sister, Iāve already arrived in Jinling."
"Then Iāll have my husband pick you up now!"
"No need. Ye Qiu has come to pick me up."
Zhou Yuxia then remembered that her younger sister often kept in touch with Ye Qiu. However, she didnāt expect that upon her return, her sister would contact Ye Qiu first instead of her.
"Little sister, then head to momās first. Iāll come over after work."
After talking to her eldest sister, Zhou Wenting called her second and third sisters. The conversations were pretty much the same, and finally, she called her mother, Wang Yulian, intending to surprise her.
Wang Yulian had always wanted Zhou Wenting to come back home to study and work, but Zhou Wenting had stayed abroad, meeting her mother only once a year at most, and otherwise, they communicated via video calls or phone calls.
This time, the change in Zhou Wentingās decision to return home for work was mainly due to Ye Qiuās mysterious medical skills; otherwise, she would have stayed in Europe or headed to the United States.
"Mom, Iām almost at the front door."
After Zhou Wenting called Wang Yulian.
"Really? When did you come back?"
Since the dead fetus remaining in Wang Yulianās body had been absorbed by Ye Qiu, Wang Yulianās health had improved considerably, and she looked much younger.
As for the divorce from Zhou Bao, she had come to terms with it. Without worries, she slept well, ate well, and naturally had no troubles.
Now, what she thought about most was her youngest daughter, Zhou Wenting. She still didnāt know whether Zhou Wenting would continue studying in Europe or return to work in her homeland.
Now, hearing that Zhou Wenting had returned, Wang Yulian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I took a flight last night,"
Zhou Wenting said.
"Then Iāll have Yuxia send you."
"No need, Ye Qiu brought me back."
By the time Zhou Wenting finished the call, she could already see the gate of the villa where her mother lived.
When Ye Qiu drove up to the gate and saw a woman dressed in motherly attire, Wang Yulian, looking around, and when she saw Ye Qiuās car stop, she knew for sure it was Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting.
"Mom."
Zhou Wenting got out of the car and went straight over to hug Wang Yulian. The mother and daughter held each other for a long time before letting go.
Observing Ye Qiu take out Zhou Wentingās suitcase and rolling bag, Wang Yulian said, "Doctor Ye, thank you for picking up Wenting."
"Auntie, Miss Zhou and I are friends,"
As Ye Qiu helped carry the two suitcases into the hall, Wang Yulianās maid poured water for Ye Qiu, then helped move Zhou Wentingās belongings to her bedroom.
Ye Qiu sat in the living room drinking tea for a while until Zhou Wenting had unpacked a bit and came out.
Now, Jinling was experiencing the hottest time of the Great Xia summer, but over in Europe, in France, the temperature was very comfortable. So, having just gotten off the plane, Zhou Wenting felt a wave of heat hit her. Now, back in the hall with the air conditioning, she felt much more comfortable.
"Doctor Ye, please join us for a meal. Iāve asked the chef to prepare lunch,"
Wang Yulian said.
"Alright, auntie."
Because Zhou Wenting had returned, lunchtime would possibly be quite lively with sisters-in-law Zhou Yuxia, Zhou Lili, Zhou Haiyan, and Zhou Wenting all potentially coming.
"You two chat, Iām going out for a walk."
Ye Qiu felt that Zhou Wenting must have lots to discuss with Wang Yulian upon her return, so he also got up and headed outside.
"Wenting, this Doctor Ye is quite something!"
From Wang Yulianās perspective, Ye Qiu was young, skilled in medical practice, and had good character. She wasnāt worried about Zhou Wenting befriending someone like Ye Qiu.
"What good, a blockhead!"
Zhou Wenting said.
She didnāt know whether Ye Qiu was doing it deliberately or was just emotionally unintelligent, but despite her obvious signals, he seemed unaware.
"Wenting, what are you planning to do after returning to Jinling? Work at the Jewelry Group Company or do something else?"
"Mom, I studied medical skills, so naturally, Iāll heal and save others; I want to work in a hospital. Although the Jewelry Group Company is great, I donāt want to go back there."
Having studied internal medicine for six years at the University of Marseille, Zhou Wenting would definitely work in a hospital after graduation.
