When everyone finally arrived at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, they were unexpectedly informed that the girl had already received enough donations for her father's medical examination and was no longer accepting help. To ensure her father could recuperate better, she asked the hospital to inform all the kind-hearted people of this news. She also thanked everyone for their kindness, stating that her wish had been fulfilled and that she would handle future matters on her own.
There was nothing they could do. As everyone was about to leave, a patient at the hospital recognized Brother Zhao, which immediately caught the attention of the hospital leadership. It was only under the accompaniment of the hospital leaders that they met the father and daughter who had moved everyone. The girl was even more beautiful than on TV, with a radiant smile on her fair face. As netizens had said, the hardships of life had left no trace on her face; instead, she exuded happiness and a strong, resilient smile.
The girl expressed her gratitude for Wang Yong and his group's desire to help her but firmly declined the offer from her godmother to sponsor her education and cover all her father's medical expenses. However, perhaps because her godmother was a very approachable person, the girl eventually exchanged phone numbers with her. The godmother told the girl to call her directly if she needed anything in the future. With the girl's grateful gaze, everyone left the ward.
After leaving the hospital, everyone realized they hadn't had lunch yet and found a small restaurant nearby. It's easy to imagine the commotion caused when the godmother's Rolls-Royce and Brother Zhao's Tianhai City No. 3 car parked in front of this unassuming little restaurant. The owner, who initially knew to bring the menu to the guests, quickly forgot his worries when he saw a crowd gathering outside his restaurant. He hoped these important figures would stay longer to attract more customers. Unfortunately, the guests left as soon as they finished their meal. However, before they left, the owner took photos of the group eating and the two cars parked outside with his mobile phone.
From then on, the owner would talk about this incident to anyone he met and even printed out the photos to hang in the restaurant. Surprisingly, this really attracted many curious people to come and have a meal, and the business improved significantly. When someone recognized Zhao Zhicheng's identity and Wang Yong's rising fame, the restaurant became so popular that reservations were required to get a seat. However, the owner, who had a good business sense, always kept the table where Wang Yong and his group had sat empty, with a "Reserved" sign on it. Many customers speculated that the owner was reserving it for those famous guests, but whenever someone asked, the owner would just smile without answering.
Brother Zhao's family returned to the municipal party committee compound, and Wang Yong and his godparents stayed at their small courtyard for two days. Wang Yong was then urged by one phone call after another to say goodbye to his godparents and head home. This time, Wang Yong didn't take a flight but drove back himself. His godmother had bought him a Land Rover, and as one of the most developed cities in China, Tianhai certainly had imported Land Rovers. So, his godmother easily bought one and gave it to Wang Yong. As for the Ford F-150, his godmother said she had already placed an order with Ford, but it would take some time to see the car.
The Land Rover, being a world-renowned car, Wang Yong deliberately chose not to take the highway but a national road with much poorer conditions to test its performance. With the guidance of the car's navigation system, it took him less than ten hours to drive from Tianhai to Beijing. He stayed at his uncle's house for a day, and Wang Gang was envious of Wang Yong for getting a top-of-the-line Land Rover just from a trip to Tianhai. That night, Wang Gang took Wang Yong's Land Rover out for a drive and didn't return until the next morning. Wang Yong had to drive his Jetta out, planning to give it to Da Wei, who was still recruiting people in Beijing. Da Wei, for some reason, hadn't finished his task in Beijing, and if Wang Yong finished his work, he wouldn't have to keep being urged by Old Li to return.
When Wang Yong met Da Wei at the agreed place, he found out that Da Wei had been in Beijing for so long because he was pursuing a girl. Seeing the couple holding hands walking over, Wang Yong couldn't criticize Da Wei anymore. After all, his childhood friend's marriage was more important than any work. However, the girl wasn't the type who would immediately catch your eye; she was the kind of girl who grew on you the more you looked at her. Most importantly, she looked very gentle and had a scholarly aura, making her extremely elegant. It was a mystery how Da Wei managed to win her over.
"So, Mr. Gao, you've finally won the beauty. Shouldn't you go back to work now?" Wang Yong teased, with a hint of resentment, making the girl blush. Da Wei, however, was already immune to such comments and snatched the keys from Wang Yong, saying, "This is my sister-in-law, Wang Jing. As a big boss, you should give a gift for the first meeting, right?"
"Then I'll give the car to your sister-in-law. Give her the keys." Wang Yong said without hesitation. A used car worth a few hundred thousand yuan was nothing to him now.
"Are you serious? No going back on this. Here, honey, this car is yours now! Let's go home and see if I've been exaggerating!" Da Wei pushed Wang Jing into the car, started the engine, and soon disappeared into the traffic.
Wang Yong stood there for a moment, shook his head, and called Wang Gang, telling him to bring the car back soon. Wang Gang, who was clearly driving, asked for Wang Yong's address and hung up after telling him to wait ten minutes. In less than ten minutes, a Land Rover Range Rover pulled up next to Wang Yong.
"Can't stay for a couple more days? Why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Gang asked as he got out of the car.
"Too many things at home. Oh, by the way, I've recognized my second uncle as my godfather."
"I know! And I know about your godfather and godmother. It's so legendary, it would make a great movie!" Wang Gang was clearly excited about the gossip, showing that the Wang family's love for gossip had been passed down to him.
"Don't look at me like that. My mom told me. It seems Grandpa released the news, but I don't know how he found out so much." Wang Gang muttered the last part softly.
"Alright, I won't explain since you know. Anyway, my uncle and aunt aren't home, so I'm going straight back to my hometown. You can take a taxi back!"
"Alright, I won't bother you. Drive carefully. By the way, I've already registered the car and the license plate for you. It's not a special license plate, but it's a good one: Jing AKO544. How's that? Cool enough?" Wang Gang asked proudly.
Wang Yong rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, stop boasting. I'm off!"
Wang Yong turned the steering wheel and merged into the traffic. An hour later, he finally left the city and got on the highway. He drove at high speed and, before long, saw his Jetta! It was definitely Da Wei. Wang Yong pressed the accelerator, and the 5.0-liter engine smoothly delivered immense power, quickly overtaking Da Wei's Jetta.
After slightly reducing his speed, he saw Da Wei and Wang Jing in the rearview mirror, both looking very happy. Wang Yong thought that Da Wei probably hadn't told his family yet and was planning to surprise them. But since he had run into him, Da Wei's plan would fail. With a mischievous smile, Wang Yong pressed the accelerator again, leaving the Jetta far behind.
He drove at high speed until he saw Ban Shan Village in the distance, then slowed down. The Land Rover, being a world-renowned car, was indeed superior in both handling and comfort compared to his old Jetta. Wang Yong was increasingly fond of the car.
He drove the car to Da Wei's small supermarket in the village. When he got out of the car, it immediately caused a stir.
"Second Brother, whose car is this?"
"Really! It's a high-end Land Rover Range Rover, worth over two million yuan!"
"What? This car is worth over two million yuan?"
"Is it made of gold or something? Why is it so expensive?"
"Ridiculous! This is a Land Rover, known as the best off-road vehicle in the world!"
Wang Yong didn't have time to chat with them. He walked into the supermarket and shouted, "Uncle, Aunt, get some good food ready! Da Wei is bringing his fiancée home!"
This shout immediately caused a commotion. In the village, everyone knew how capable Da Wei was. Before Wang Yong returned, he was definitely considered the most capable person of his generation. Every time he came home, he would give his father tens of thousands of yuan, and because of this, the matchmakers almost wore out the threshold of his house.
But Da Wei always claimed he was too busy and hadn't met anyone. Everyone said he must have a girlfriend outside, but when asked, Da Wei always said he hadn't found the right one. Today, hearing Wang Yong say that Da Wei was bringing his fiancée home, it was a big deal.
"Wang Yong, don't you just want to make Aunt happy? Don't lie to me!" Da Wei's mother looked at Wang Yong anxiously. Da Wei's marriage was a major concern for his parents, especially since his younger brother's son was almost three years old.
Wang Yong chuckled and said, "Aunt, I'm not lying. I met them on the highway. He was driving my old car. How could I not recognize my own car? Besides, I met your daughter-in-law when I gave him the car in Beijing!"
"Really? Not lying? What does she look like? What does she do? How tall is she?"
Wang Yong quickly interrupted her, knowing Da Wei would be there soon.
"Aunt, let me put it this way. Da Wei must have accumulated a lot of good karma to find such a good wife. She's not the most beautiful, but she's very charming and not short. Most importantly, she has a very elegant demeanor. I think she must be a Ph.D.!"
"Wow! Really? Wow! Her father, quickly kill a chicken! Wang Yong, go to your place and pick some vegetables, get some fish, golden eggs, and fruit. Hurry back!"
Wang Yong, who had failed to create a stir, drove home to pick vegetables, fruit, and golden eggs for his aunt. The news that Da Wei had brought a Ph.D. wife from Beijing quickly spread throughout the village. Curious villagers gathered in front of the supermarket, waiting to see the wife that Wang Yong had praised so highly. Da Wei's father and younger brother, Gao Hui, were handing out cigarettes to everyone, their faces beaming with joy.
When Wang Yong returned, he saw Da Wei and Wang Jing being "displayed" like monkeys in a zoo. Da Wei glared at Wang Yong, his teeth grinding in frustration. Wang Jing, however, behaved very well. Despite her gentle appearance, she spoke and acted with poise, earning many compliments for Da Wei's parents. The old couple's faces were so happy that their wrinkles seemed to disappear, and they looked years younger.
Little Ming, who was usually very mischievous, seemed to like this "aunt" (Da Wei is Ming's uncle, and according to local customs, Ming should call Wang Jing "aunt"). He sat quietly in her lap, behaving like a well-mannered girl, a stark contrast to his usual self.
