Chapter 167: Marriage? Fate?

After Sun Dongwei left, the classmates in the room looked at each other, all a bit dumbfounded.

Originally, this class reunion was organized by Yang Jincai and hosted by Sun Dongwei, but now that both of them were gone, how could the reunion continue?

They were all ordinary wage earners, earning only two or three thousand yuan a month, and certainly couldn't afford the high expenses here.

Seemingly sensing everyone's thoughts, Ye Bufan said, "Don't worry, everyone, this meal is on me. Order whatever you like."

He said to Zhang Linman, "Old classmate, I'll trouble you to arrange it. It's rare for classmates to gather, so let's make it a high-class affair."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Zhang Linman agreed, and soon various specialty dishes were served. For those who liked baijiu, there was Maotai; for those who liked red wine, there was Lafite, and all were vintage fine wines.

The rest of the gathering was very pleasant, and everyone ate and drank to their heart's content.

As the party drew to a close, Gao Daqiang pulled Ye Bufan outside the room, found a quiet spot, and punched him on the shoulder, saying, "When did you become so successful, you rascal?"

Ye Bufan chuckled, "It's nothing."

"You've even managed to win over the Gu Family Young Miss, and you still say it's nothing? Can you be any more modest?" Gao Daqiang put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Brother, when did you learn to read faces?"

Ye Bufan said, "What? Do you want me to read yours too?"

"Mm!" Gao Daqiang nodded vigorously, "Read mine. Can Da Qiang and Zhao Xiaodie really be together? She's a good girl, but I always feel like I'm not good enough for her."

Ye Bufan laughed, "You're not bad either. What's there to be not good enough for?"

"Sigh!"

Gao Daqiang let out a long sigh, his expression heavy, and said, "Never mind that, just tell me quickly, do Zhao Xiaodie and I have a marriage fate?"

Ye Bufan shook his head, "No, although you have a destined marriage, the time is not yet right."

There was one thing he didn't say: Zhao Xiaodie was not Gao Daqiang's destined marriage, but rather a tribulation in his life.

"This… is this thing of yours accurate or not?"

Although Gao Daqiang had just witnessed Ye Bufan tell Yang Jincai's fortune, he was still a bit uneasy when it came to himself, especially since he truly liked Zhao Xiaodie and didn't want to hear such a result.

"Never mind whether it's accurate or not, tell me about your body. When did it start having problems?"

Gao Daqiang said in surprise, "How did you know I was sick?"

Ye Bufan said, "Don't forget I study traditional Chinese medicine; naturally, I can tell."

Gao Daqiang sighed again and said, "It's been about a year."

Ye Bufan said, "After you met Zhao Xiaodie?"

"Yes, it makes me angry just thinking about it. Before, my body was incredibly good, but after I got with Zhao Xiaodie, it suddenly became useless."

Gao Daqiang said with emotion, "That's why I say Zhao Xiaodie is a good girl. Even though I've had problems with my body for so many years, she has never despised me.

Many suitors were rejected by her. Sometimes I even wonder, what did she see in a poor boy like me? I have no money, and now my body has problems.

But Zhao Xiaodie said she saw my character in me, and she has been helping me seek medical treatment all these years, never giving up.

She said as long as my illness is cured, we'll get married immediately.

Such a good girl, I feel I'm letting her down."

Ye Bufan's expression turned cold. This was the answer he wanted. It seemed his guess was correct; Zhao Xiaodie was behind Gao Daqiang's physical problems.

Moreover, the Yang Qi in his body was so vigorous, so vigorous that it could destroy a person, which must also be related to Zhao Xiaodie.

He didn't rush to treat Gao Daqiang's body, as that would alert the enemy.

At this moment, the sound of high heels clicked, and Zhao Xiaodie walked over from the private room.

"Da Qiang, are you two chatting here?"

After walking over, she nestled against Gao Daqiang and linked her arm through his.

Gao Daqiang looked at her, his eyes full of doting affection, "Yes, Da Qiang and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we're having a private chat."

Zhao Xiaodie said, "Oh, have you finished chatting?"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "Almost."

Gao Daqiang said, "Is something wrong?"

Zhao Xiaodie said, "Did you forget? We have an appointment with the doctor today; we need to go see him."

"Oh! I think we shouldn't go. It's useless to see him. How many doctors have we seen over the years, and there's been no effect until now."

Gao Daqiang, who was originally cheerful, immediately became gloomy at the thought of his body.

"What kind of talk is that? If you're sick, you need to see a doctor. Sooner or later, we'll be cured." Zhao Xiaodie said gently, "Da Qiang, don't worry, this doctor is very powerful, a reclusive expert. He will definitely cure your illness."

Looking at Zhao Xiaodie's gentle expression, Gao Daqiang didn't even have the courage to refuse and said, "All right, let's go now."

He turned to Ye Bufan and said, "Xiao Fan, tell everyone that we're leaving first."

Ye Bufan said, "I don't have anything else to do, so why don't we go together?"

Zhao Xiaodie's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal, and she said, "I'm sorry, that reclusive expert has a very strange temper and generally doesn't see strangers."

Ye Bufan said, "Isn't this your first time going too?"

Zhao Xiaodie said, "We've already made an appointment in advance. That expert only sees patients with appointments.

How about this, I'll make an appointment for you when I go, and then take you there in a few days."

Gao Daqiang said, "Xiao Fan, don't mess around. We'll get together again when we have time."

After speaking, he held Zhao Xiaodie's hand and left the restaurant.

Watching their retreating figures, Ye Bufan's expression quickly darkened.

According to his guess, the person Zhao Xiaodie was taking Gao Daqiang to see was certainly not a doctor, but rather an evil Cultivator who was manipulating Gao Daqiang.

If his guess was correct, that person was preparing to make a move.

When Ye Bufan returned to the private room, the party was almost over. He greeted Gu Qingcheng, and then left the restaurant alone.

Gao Daqiang and Zhao Xiaodie left Tianhao Grand Restaurant, took a taxi, and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

"Zhao Xiaodie, where are we going? Why are we leaving the city?"

Zhao Xiaodie said, "I told you, the person we're seeing today is a reclusive expert. She doesn't live in the city at all."

"Oh!" Gao Daqiang said gratefully, "Zhao Xiaodie, you've really worked hard, always busy finding doctors for me."

Zhao Xiaodie said, "Da Qiang, what are you saying? Isn't it my duty to help you? Once you're cured, we'll get married immediately and be a family."

Gao Daqiang lightly kissed her cheek, then said, "Mm! Zhao Xiaodie, don't worry, I'll be good to you my whole life."

Under Zhao Xiaodie's guidance, the taxi quickly left the city and drove for another ten-odd kilometers, stopping at the foot of a small mountain.

They paid the fare and walked a bit further, arriving in front of a secluded courtyard.

"Da Qiang, this is it. Let's go in."

Zhao Xiaodie said, pushing open the courtyard gate and leading Gao Daqiang inside.
