Kang Zhaoming Paying Respects

"Oh right, that sounds correct!" Kang Zhaoming was reminded by Wang Shubin's words. "According to that then, could that man be Guan Xin's father?"

"That should be right, if not it would be her father's driver!" Wang Shubin nodded. "Master Zhaoming, I just thought of this! If you paid respects to her father, Guan Xiaoxiang, then perhaps it would have an even better effect than a visit to Guan Xuemin!"

"Oh? What should I say?" Kang Zhaoming quickly added.

"Master Zhaoming, your House has Miracle Doctor Kang's Pharmaceutical Company, and they work with many hospitals right? People's First and People's Second Hospital's are just one of many hospitals you have worked with. As for Guan Xiaoxiang's company, it doesn't amount to much in comparison?" Zhu Xiaozhang interrupted, "Even so, Guan Xiaoxiang would still want to maintain a good working relationship with House Kang, he wouldn't offend you straight to your face. As long as he agrees to allow you to be in contact with Guan Xin, then it is your win!"

"Right, that is sound logic. Let's go, we should tail him to see where they go!" Kang Zhaoming agreed.

Guan Xiaoxiang hadn't learned any investigation and anti-reconnaissance tactics as there was no need for him to. So he didn't notice a Porsche Cayenne driving slowly right behind his car. He was nonchalantly chatting away with Guan Xin in the car, "Xinxin, How was work? Are you tired?"

"It was okay, there were moments where I felt tired, but I really enjoy my job," Guan Xin nodded.

"If you feel tired, then you should come and help daddy? You can't work as a nurse for life!" Guan Xiaoxiang laughed. He had always wanted Guan Xin to work at his company, but Guan Xin was very stubborn.

"No, I want to stay here to accompany grandfather," Guan Xin shook her head.

Guan Xiaoxiang sighed. He didn't want to continue on the topic, so he asked "How's his health?"

"It's not bad, it's just that grandfather is starting his own company, so he is quite excited about it,"

"Company? You need to pay close attention to your grandfather. He has never done business before, so don't let him fall into any scandals. He will have to pay more than just fees, it will behis reputation too!" Guan Xiaoxiang had personally experienced it before when he was young and naive. He wanted to be an entrepreneur and tried to borrow his father's name to establish a foothold in the industry. "Who is this Lin Yi, he is so young, so how can he be accomplished. Why did you let grandfather fall for his tricks?"

This was what Guan Xiaoxiang had thought, he was rejected by his father when he was younger. It was because his father thought that he was being tricked by his friends and that will tread the House's name through mud. Later on, it was due to angel investors that helped jumpstart his business. Then, it was through his own effort that he was able to marry Guan Xin's mother!

At first, Guan Xin's mother's House was extremely opposed to the marriage. Every time Guan Xiaoxiang recalls this memory, it is like a thorn to his heart. Even though it had been many years, Guan Xiaoxiang's relationship with his father hadn't gotten any better.

"No way, Lin Yi is a very nice person. He wouldn't trick grandfather," Guan Xin rebutted. She unconsciously defended Lin Yi without thinking about her position, and she immediately flushed. with embarrassment.

From her daughter's look, Guan Xiaoxiang raised his eyebrows and wondered if his daughter had fallen for Lin Yi?

Guan Xiaoxiang didn't want to confront his daughter into a definitive yes or no situation, but they were close to their destination. Carefully, Guan Xiaoxiang drove into the place - Songshan Medical University. Guan Xiaoxiang parked at the entrance of his father's villa. Even if the father-son relationship wasn't on good terms, Guan Xiaoxiang would still visit his dad whenever he was back in the city.

Guan Xiaoxiang and Guan Xuemin's relationship had been like this for the longest time ever, and they had gotten used to it. When Guan Xuemin saw his son's return, he just nodded in acknowledgement. Without saying much, Guan Xuemin walked back to his study room.

Guan Xiaoxiang sat in the living room sofa and started chatting with Guan Xin about hospital works.

Kang Zhaoming was tailing the car from behind, all the way to Guan Xuemin's villa. For the sake of pursuing Guan Xin, he purposely purchase a fake Medical University Pass so he can pass through security easily.

"Master Zhaoming, from the looks of it, it seems that person is Guan Xin's father. If it was the driver, they usually don't enter the villa. Should we pay our respects now?" Wang Shubin asked.

"Yea, but let's buy some gifts first. Then we will come back to pay respects," Kang Zhaoming was able to calmly reply after he was reassured that the mystery man was her father.

Kang Zhaoming returned with brand name alcohol and Cigarettes recommended by Wang Shubin. He walked up and rang Guan Xuemin's doorbell.

Zhu Xiaozhang was stationed inside of the car. His personality was not suited to be brought inside.

Caretaker Liu opened up the door to find Kang Zhaoming in a wheelchair and Wang Shubin pushing him. She was caught off guard by the sudden patient visit. She asked "Excuse me, are you here for Doctor Guan for a checkup?"

"No, I am Kang Zhaoming, I am Miracle Doctor Kang's second grandson. I came here to pay respects to CEO Guan Xiaoxiang," Kang Zhaoming said clearly.

"Oh, please wait here while I notify him," Caretaker Liu nodded. She didn't open the exterior steel door to let the strangers in, and turned around and went to the living room.

"Mrs. Liu, who is it?" Guan Xiaoxiang asked since she didn't bring anyone in after answering the door.

"Mister Guan, there is someone claiming to be Miracle Doctor Kuan's second grandson. He said his name is Kang Zhaoming, and he wants to pay respect to. What is your answer?" Caretaker Liu responded.

"Hmm? People from House Kang?" Guan Xiaoxiang was shocked by the unexpected visit, "Let me take a look," he responded.

Guan Xin's facial expression changed, she didn't expect Kang Zhaoming to stalked her all the way home. What is he planning? She was about to tell her father to not go, but since he had gotten up, it might be better for him to reject Kang's advances.

Guan Xiaoxiang and caretaker Liu walked up to the doorway and saw Kang Zhaoming sitting in his wheelchair. He had never met Kang Zhaoming before, but it was unexpected to see him in a wheelchair. He asked "Hi, you are Kang Zhaoming? How come you are like this?"

"Uncle Guan, how are you? I am Kang Zhaoming!" Kang Zhaoming quickly self introduced, "Oh, this is just a normal bone fracture that happened a few days ago, I'll be up and running in no time!"

"Ah…" Guan Xiaoxiang didn't want to continue prying. He opened up the exterior steel door to let them into the villa, "Kang Zhaoming, do you mind if I called you that?"

"Oh Uncle Guan, you can call me Zhaoming!" Kang Zhaoming respectfully said. He needed to leave a very good impression of a young adult to Guan Xiaoxiang.

Guan Xiaoxiang nodded, "Kang Zhaoming, you are here to pay respects to me? Can I ask why? Are you representing your grandfather or…?"

"Hm, Uncle Guan, it might be better if we went to the study room to talk about this?" Kang Zhaoming was afraid that Guan Xin will rebut what he had to say so he suggested for a change of place.
