Chapter 9: The Bashful Maiden

  When Zhang Lieyang and Zhang Zihuan finished eating and were about to leave, they heard a pleasant voice calling out: "Zihuan!" Zhang Zihuan turned around and smiled, saying: "Wanyue, Yajie! Long time no see! How come you haven't come to visit me in such a long time? I still considered you as friends!"

  "Zi Han, are these two your friends?" Zhang Lieyang asked with a smile. Upon hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Zhang Zihuan smiled and pointed directly at the two girls, saying: "Brother, let me introduce them to you. These two are my close friends, Tang Wanyue and Xiao Yajie!" Then Zhang Zihuan pointed directly at Zhang Lieyang, saying: "This is my uncle Zhang Qiyue's son, my brother Zhang Lieyang!"

  Upon hearing Zhang Zihuan's introduction, Zhang Lieyang politely bowed and said: "It's my pleasure to meet the two ladies!" Seeing Zhang Lieyang's gentlemanly demeanor, Zhang Zihuan, Tang Wanyue, and Xiao Yajie burst out laughing. Zhang Lieyang was taken aback by the three girls' smiles and unconsciously muttered to himself: "One smile can conquer a city, another smile can conquer a nation!" Upon hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Tang Wanyue turned to Zhang Zihuan and asked: "Zihuan, why haven't we ever heard your grandfather mention this brother of yours?" As she spoke, Tang Wanyue couldn't help but steal a glance at Zhang Lieyang.

  Xiao Yajie whispered to Zhang Zihuan with a strange smile, "Zihuan, it seems like Wanyue has taken a liking to this big brother!" Upon hearing Xiao Yajie's words, Zhang Zihuan glanced at Tang Wanyue's gaze and smiled as she said to Tang Wanyue and Xiao Yajie, "My brother is going to help me buy clothes, do you guys have time? Why don't we go together?"

  "Alright! I and Wan Yue are just out for a stroll!" Xiao Ya Jie said with a smile. Thinking of Xiao Ya Jie's words, Zhang Zi Han looked at Zhang Lie Yang and asked: "Brother, do you have any objections?"

  "I have no objection! Let's go!" Zhang Lieyang said with a smile.

  Zhang Lieyang accompanied Zhang Zihuan and Tang Wanyue, Xiao Yajie to finish walking the street, smiled and said: "Two of you I'll send you back home how about that?" Tang Wanyue shyly said: "Okay! Then trouble you!" Hearing Tang Wanyue's words, Zhang Lieyang foolishly smiled: "No trouble! No trouble!" Said and started the car to leave.

  On the way back after sending off Tang Wan Yue and Xiao Ya Jie, Zhang Zi Han smiled and said to Zhang Lie Yang: "I didn't expect my brother's charm to be so strong, deeply attracting both Wan Yue and Ya Jie! Do you want me to help, let them become my sisters-in-law?"

  "Little girl, have you set your eyes on someone? If so, bring him to me and let me take a look, I'll help you screen him!" Zhang Lieyang said with a teasing tone.

  "Bad brother, you just know how to bully me! Wait and see how I'll report back to Grandpa!" Zhang Zihuan pouted. Seeing Zhang Zihuan pretending to be angry, Zhang Lieyang smiled and asked: "Zihuan, where are the kids from Third Uncle's house?"

  "Third Uncle has sent his daughter, Purple Cloud, to England to study! At most she'll be back in two years!" Zhang Zihuan replied with a smile. As he spoke, Zhang Lieyang took out a roll of silver dollars from his own pocket and said: "Here you go, little sister, brother's giving you some spending money!" Seeing the money in Zhang Lieyang's hand, Zhang Zihuan said embarrassedly: "Brother, I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"

  "Take it, you take it!" Zhang Lieyang stuffed the money into Zhang Zihuan's hand and then heard Zhang Lieyang say to Zhang Zihuan who was still in a daze: "Girl, we're home!" Zhang Zihuan came back to her senses and smiled as she picked up the clothes that were placed in the back of the car and said to Zhang Lieyang: "Brother, I'll take it then!" And with that, she ran quickly back to her own room.

  Zhang Lieyang had just parked his car when he saw the old butler walking over and saying, "Young master, the old master wants you to accompany him to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow!"

  "Alright, no problem! Anyway, I don't have anything on tomorrow!" Zhang Lieyang replied with a smile.

  "Well then, I'll take my leave first, young master, you should get some rest early!" The old steward said as he left.

  Back in his own room, Zhang Lieyang smiled to himself and thought: "The physical examination was fake, but the blood test was real!"

  The next morning, Zhang Lieyang accompanied Old Man Zhang to Fu Jen Hospital. As soon as they entered the hospital, the director of Fu Jen Hospital, Pan Xiling, came forward and said: "Thank you, Old Man Zhang, for your trust in our hospital!"

  "Director Pan, don't be polite, I just came to check my body, after all, as people get older, they should pay more attention to their bodies!" Old Master Zhang said with a smile. As he spoke, Old Master Zhang said to Zhang Lieyang beside him: "Child, you also have your body checked today! After all, you've returned from abroad!"

  "Alright, Grandpa!" Zhang Lieyang said with a smile. Then, under the accompaniment of Director Pan, both Zhang Lieyang and Old Master Zhang had their blood drawn, took some X-rays, and underwent a full-body examination. At noon, Director Pan came to Old Master Zhang's side with the morning's blood test report in hand, smiling as he said: "Old Master Zhang, your and Young Master Zhou's blood indicators are completely normal!" As he spoke, Director Pan handed over the test report to Old Master Zhang. After taking it, Old Master Zhang saw that it was written on the report: "The two blood samples basically match, belonging to the same family's blood type!" Seeing these words, Old Master Zhang smiled and said: "Director Pan, thank you for your hard work! If there's anything I can help with in the future, just let me know!"
