Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 262: Chapter 261, You Have to Call Him Little Uncle

Just as Xu Wendong was about to speak,

the phone in the living room rang. Su Jianjun looked at Xu Wendong, ”Think it over seriously and give me a definite answer later.”

Then he got up to answer the phone.

Meanwhile, Su Li kicked Xu Wendong hard under the table and gave him a cold glare, as if to say, if you dare agree, we’re done!

Xu Wendong felt a sharp pain...

He knew.

If he didn’t listen to Su Li, she would really end things with him.

But...

If he refused Wang Guiyun’s earlier proposal, Su Jianjun would certainly resent him.

Anyway.

Either way, he found himself caught in a dilemma.

At the same time, Su Jianjun picked up the phone and politely said, ”Hello.”

Elder Fang’s voice came through the phone, ”Jianjun, it’s me!”

”Uncle Fang, have you eaten?” Upon hearing Elder Fang’s voice, Su Jianjun became noticeably more enthusiastic.

Elder Fang sighed, ”Ah! I would like to eat, but I have no appetite!”

”Are you feeling unwell? Have you seen a doctor?” Su Jianjun asked with concern.

”Jianjun... we... our Fang Family owe the Su Family an apology!” Elder Fang let out a long sigh.

”Uncle Fang, look at what you’re saying, our relationship shouldn’t involve such formality, should it?” Su Jianjun said with a smile, though an ominous feeling crept into his heart.

Elder Fang said helplessly, ”I won’t hide it from you. My rascal son caused big trouble outside, had an affair with another woman, and got her pregnant.”

Hearing this, Su Jianjun’s expression instantly froze.

He knew well the character of that Fang Cong fellow.

It wasn’t surprising if he got another woman pregnant.

But.

Elder Fang confessing this matter meant it wasn’t that simple.

Because for such a matter, he didn’t need to tell Su Jianjun at all and had no reason to share such embarrassing news.

Elder Fang continued, ”This matter is a grievance from our Fang Family to your Su Family. What I mean is, if it really can’t be helped, let’s just cancel the marriage arrangement between the two families!”

”I really don’t want Li Li to suffer such grievances before even entering the door. If this is the case, how could I face your father after I die?”

Su Jianjun solemnly asked, ”Uncle Fang, is it really Cong who got into trouble outside?”

Although what Elder Fang said sounded reasonable,

there was always a feeling that this matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

For no other reason.

Because Xu Wendong had said something before: if the Fang Family decided to cancel the engagement, would you respect her wishes and let her be with someone she loves?

Initially, he thought it was just a hypothetical scenario.

But...

Who would have thought that less than an hour after he said that, the Fang Family would call to cancel the engagement?

Is this a coincidence?

If it’s a coincidence, then why did this coincidence happen after Xu Wendong appeared?

As a leader, he keenly sensed that this matter wasn’t that simple.

”Does the truth matter?” Elder Fang chuckled, ”You just need to know that our Fang Family owes the Su Family.”

Such a simple sentence revealed a lot.

Even though the Fang Family proposed to break the engagement, they still owed the Su Family a favor, and Su Jianjun’s career wouldn’t be affected by the breaking of the engagement.

It might even advance further.

”Actually, this marriage arrangement wasn’t fair in the first place. If it weren’t for me and your father drinking too much back then, we wouldn’t have arranged a marriage between fingers.”

”Of course, if my rascal son had some promise, it might be fine, but he is plainly a good-for-nothing. We can’t delay the girl from your family!”

Su Jianjun looked toward the Qinghua Ruyi Phoenix Vase beside him. Earlier, he thought this porcelain piece was fake, but now, the more he looked at it, the more authentic it seemed.

He chuckled bitterly, ”Uncle Fang, are you doing this for Xu Wendong?”

Elder Fang smiled and said, ”What impression do you have of that guy?”

Su Jianjun replied truthfully, ”I can’t figure him out.”

Elder Fang laughed, ”If even you can’t see through him, do you think such a person is ordinary?”

Su Jianjun was at a loss for words.

Although he didn’t like Xu Wendong very much, one thing was obvious.

Xu Wendong was by no means an ordinary person.

His future achievements were unpredictable.

”Jianjun, times have changed, and so have people’s ways of pursuing happiness!” Elder Fang said earnestly, ”If my rascal son and your girl were head over heels for each other and matched for a long time, our Fang Family certainly wouldn’t call off the engagement.”

”But the problem is, my rascal son isn’t worthy of your girl.”

”Since that’s the case, why force the two of them to be together?”

”Do we really have to sacrifice the happiness of the two kids just to fulfill a drunken promise from back then?”

”Our initial thought was to deepen familial ties, based on mutual happiness.”

”Since it’s clear they don’t like each other, and coincidentally, one of them met the right person, why not make them happy?”

He paused at this point, ”True friendship isn’t something that a piece of paper marriage contract can bind.”

Su Jianjun said, ”Junior understands what you say, it’s just that junior can’t comprehend one point. Is it worth it for you to sacrifice the Fang Family’s reputation just to fulfill Xu Wendong?”

Elder Fang laughed heartily, ”He is my lifesaver and also a sworn brother I just made. In terms of seniority, you should call him Uncle.”

Poof!

Su Jianjun almost spat out his drink.

What the hell!

What kind of melodramatic plot is this!

Elder Fang said, ”Alright, regarding the matters between our two families. Also, my illness has been cured, and I’m planning to go north to visit a few old comrades. When I return, you and your wife must come for dinner.”

”Alright.” Su Jianjun bewilderedly hung up the phone.

He realized.

What Elder Fang said about going north to meet old comrades certainly wasn’t just a casual remark.

This could likely be related to possibly stepping into that pinnacle of power.

After all.

Elder Fang’s connections were terrifying.

Especially those northern comrades.

It was quite unexpected.

Thinking of this.

He looked at Xu Wendong, and a trace of a wry smile appeared in his eyes.

To think he had been planning to guide Xu Wendong onto a political path.

Now, instead, he indirectly did him a huge favor.

Even though Elder Fang didn’t say much.

But he knew, it must have been because of Xu Wendong that Elder Fang’s illness was cured.

That was why he could head north.

Meeting old comrades had always been his dream, but because of physical limitations, the dream hadn’t been realized.

”What was the call from Elder Fang about?” Seeing her husband return, Wang Guiyun asked curiously.

Su Jianjun snapped back to reality, ”Oh, nothing much, just chatted about family matters.” He said as he sat down at the dining table.

Wang Guiyun didn’t think much of it either. She looked over at Xu Wendong, flashing a cordial smile, ”Wendong, how are you considering the earlier proposal?”

Su Li became anxious, constantly signaling Xu Wendong with her eyes.

She didn’t want their relationship to change.

Even if it did,

it should turn from lovers into a legal marriage.

Not siblings.

That would be more unbearable for her than death!

And just at that moment, Su Jianjun raised his glass, barely managing a smile, ”Uncle, just take the previous suggestion as a joke!”

”Come, I propose this toast to you!”

Both Wang Guiyun and Su Li felt a shiver down their spines.

What was going on?

How did the godson turn into an uncle?
