Chapter 76: Meng Yunzheng

Doctor Zhao quickly stepped aside, and Meng Yunzheng naturally ended up face to face with Shu Yu, who was standing outside the door.

A hint of surprise flashed across his face as he looked at her.

Shu Yu knew that Meng Yunzheng had recognized her.

She covered her face and realized that it was too late to turn and leave. Letting out a sigh, she raised her hand in greeting, "Master Meng, long time no see."

Meng Yunzheng nodded at her and wore a gentle smile on his face. Then, he gestured to the side, as if inviting her in.

Shu Yu hesitated for a moment but eventually went inside.

The courtyard was small, not very spacious. After taking a quick look around, Shu Yu turned her head to ask Doctor Zhao what was going on.

To her surprise, she saw Meng Yunzheng gesturing to Doctor Zhao and patting his head, smiling as he let him in.

As Shu Yu watched the scene unfold, she felt her head spinning and a sense of foreboding washed over her.

"Master Meng, you..."

Meng Yunzheng remained the same, not minding at all. He pointed at his own throat and waved his hand, making his meaning very clear.

Shu Yu was taken aback. Master Meng had lost his ability to speak??

That wonderful voice of his, how could it just... disappear like that?

"What exactly is going on here? Doctor Zhao has become like this, and you..." Just a year ago, they were both skilled doctors, one with a noble demeanor and the other with exceptional beauty. But now, one was a fool and the other was mute, both looking much worse off than her.

Meng Yunzheng smiled, turned around, and entered the house. Then, he took a piece of paper and started writing.

"There was an accident. How did Miss Shu end up here?"

Shu Yu knew that he didn't want to explain the reasons, and coincidentally, she couldn't either.

So she simply said, "I also had a little accident. I happened to see Doctor Zhao and followed him here. Master Meng, just... pretend you haven't seen me today, alright?"

Meng Yunzheng remained silent for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

Although Shu Yu had only known him for a short time, she had some understanding that he was a trustworthy person. Since he agreed, he wouldn't say anything unnecessary.

However, Meng Yunzheng quickly wrote another line, "Miss Shu, let's both pretend we haven't seen each other today."

Shu Yu agreed. Seeing that it was getting late, she had to leave.

She was initially worried about Doctor Zhao being alone and encountering any difficulties, but since he was with Master Meng, she felt relieved.

It was clear that Master Meng didn't want to get too involved with her. Shu Yu would consider today's encounter as an accident.

She prepared to take her leave. "I have to go now. If Master Meng and Doctor Zhao encounter any difficulties and need help, you can let me know. Although there might not be much I can do, I will do my best."

If it weren't for Doctor Zhao exceptional medical skills and assistance in the past, she might not be standing here healthy and well today.

She was a grateful person, after all.

However, Meng Yunzheng shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.

Shu Yu understood and turned to walk towards the exit of the courtyard.

But when she reached the gate, she resisted the urge, turned back, and faced Meng Yunzheng's smiling face. She spoke softly, "Master Meng, if you... aren't truly happy, you don't have to keep smiling like this. Your smile seems a bit forced."

After saying that, Shu Yu quickly ran away.

Once the courtyard gate closed again, the smile on Meng Yunzheng's face gradually faded.

He touched his own face. Did he smile so falsely? Even though others couldn't see it and said that he brought a refreshing breeze with his smile.
