Once Wang Yang was leaving, the person taking care of Zhu Chengqi naturally had to return to his job. “You have helped Chief Zhu turn over, right?”
Although Zhu Chengqi wasn’t paralyzed, as his body was weak and he had a lot of illnesses, he basically didn’t have the ability to move on his own anymore. For the sake of Zhu Chengqi’s health, someone had to help turn him over and massage his limbs so that certain parts of his body didn’t fester and that he wouldn’t experience muscle atrophy due to him being inactive for a long time.
Wang Yang smiled. “It has been so long. Of course I’ve already helped my uncle turn over. I’ve also massaged his limbs. Alright, it’s running late. I should head back. Go do what you have to do.”
“Alright.” The person taking care of Zhu Chengqi smiled. “It looks like you’ve learned well after seeing what I did. Your habit of helping Chief Zhu put his hands back into the blanket is exactly the same as mine. Great job.”
Wang Yang’s face froze. It was true when he said he helped Zhu Chengqi turn over and massage his limbs in the past. At most, he didn’t care much when doing this. Of course, if Zhu Chengqi was awake back then, Wang Yang would only be more serious than a professional nurse. Later, Zhu Chengqi woke up less often. Zhu Chengqi practically didn’t wake up every time Wang Yang came over. As time passed, Wang Yang became lazy.
He said that he had done all of this. In reality, Wang Yang only sat down and chatted with Zhu Chengqi, creating an illusion that he was particularly filial to him. He wouldn’t be tired as well. That was the best of both worlds. It was alright if he was lazy this once. Anyway, Zhu Chengqi wouldn’t die if he didn’t turn over for a day. His body wouldn’t have much reaction either. Furthermore, the nurse had to help Zhu Chengqi turn over and massage him the next day. It was as if he was compensating for the day before when he didn’t turn him over and massage him.
When Wang Yang first started doing this, he was more cautious. Even if he was just putting on a show, he would first turn over Zhu Chengqi’s blanket and make a mess out of it. When the nurse returned, he would pretend to tuck the blanket in as if following up from the massage he did for Zhu Chengqi after turning him over.
However, Wang Yang recently became bolder. He felt that he knew what to do and no longer needed to be that cautious. In the end, he made a blunder today.
Thankfully, the other party believed in him and even took the initiative to help him find such a reasonable reason. Otherwise, Wang Yang’s perfunctory behavior toward Zhu Chengqi would have been exposed.
Wang Yang hurriedly smiled. “I know a little after seeing you do it so many times. However, it’s not exactly the same. Look, I didn’t tuck in the blanket as tightly as you did.” Thankfully, he had to take his uncle’s hand out from the blanket when he helped him wipe his hands, causing a slight change to the blanket. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to continue this conversation.
The nurse smiled and waved his hands. “You’re not any worse. Alright, go and get busy. I’ll help you take care of Chief Zhu.”
The ‘deal’ between the nurse and Wang Yang was that not only did the nurse have to take good care of Zhu Chengqi, but he also must not let ‘messy’ people get close to Zhu Chengqi and ‘disturb’ him. Basically, if someone wanted to visit Zhu Chengqi, the nurse wouldn’t agree to it unless Wang Yang had given permission. Of course, in order not to waste Zhu Chengqi’s energy, the nurse had to tell Wang Yang in advance if Zhu Chengqi had something on or wanted to see someone. Wang Yang would then make the necessary arrangements.
Who was categorized as a ‘messy’ person? Wang Yang expressed that aside from him and the nurse, everyone else fell under that category.
That way, Wang Yang allowed the nurse to somewhat monitor Zhu Chengqi. However, Wang Yang didn’t tell him about anything that was too overboard or beyond his job scope. His behaviors were appropriate so that the nurse wouldn’t be suspicious of him. One had to know that he didn’t find this nurse. This nurse was sent by the boss. Wang Yang had no right to fire him and thus could only bribe him and maintain a good relationship with him appropriately.
“I’m really leaving this time around.” Wang Yang hurriedly left before he let the cat out of the bag. He didn’t want the nurse to spot any issues and ask him questions that he couldn’t answer. After all, this nurse wasn’t one of his men. There was still a need for him to remain guarded.
After Wang Yang left, the nurse’s face changed. He walked toward Zhu Chengqi. “Chief Zhu, are you alright?” The nurse knew a long time ago that Wang Yang was lying every time he said that he helped Zhu Chengqi turn over and massaged him. Wang Yang always thought that Zhu Chengqi wouldn’t feel anything. The nurse wanted to laugh at Wang Yang for being a retard.
He only said that Chief Zhu was asleep. He didn’t say that he was a vegetative person and couldn’t feel anything. Aside from a vegetative person, who wouldn’t wake up in the face of such a huge commotion? However, Wang Yang felt that there wasn’t anything wrong and kept lying to him. In the end, Wang Yang didn’t manage to lie to anyone, let alone become a filial nephew.
Zhu Chengqi opened his eyes. “I’m fine. He just wishes for me to be dead but doesn’t dare to do anything to me yet.” There was only this much to the Wang family’s courage. If not for his younger sister taking a fancy to Wang Yang’s father a long time ago and insisted on marrying over, the Wang family wouldn’t have been able to become relatives with the Zhu family.
Although they eventually agreed to marry his sister over that year, Wang Yang’s mother didn’t know that before she got married, Zhu Chengqi had already discussed this with Elder Zhu. She would take whatever that belonged to her over to her in-laws. How her life would be in the future would depend on her ability and clear-headedness to see if she could still hold on to her husband’s heart.
Of course, the Zhu family wouldn’t let the Wang family’s son bully their daughter. Other than that, there was a certain limit to the relationship between the Zhu family and the Wang family. Wang Yang’s mother was the Zhu family’s biological daughter. When she got married, the Zhu family had already made things clear to her. Furthermore, half of Wang Yang’s blood wasn’t from the Zhu family.
Zhu Chengqi had criticized the Wang family a long time ago. They were sneaky but didn’t have enough influence. They were quite clever but weren’t tough. Unfortunately, Wang Yang was a normal person from the Wang family. His temper was exactly the same as the rest of the Wang family’s. How would Zhu Chengqi like such a nephew? Especially when he knew… Zhu Chengqi laughed coldly. This Wang Yang was quite bold. He had really inherited the Wang family’s trick of deceiving the superiors and hiding from the subordinates.
If he had known that the people surnamed Wang were like this, he’d rather break off all ties with his biological sister than to have any kind of relationship with the Wang family so that Wang Yang wouldn’t have such illusions and wild wishes.
“Chief Zhu, let me give you a massage.” After knowing that Wang Yang didn’t do any of the routines, the nurse naturally didn’t forget his job. He helped Zhu Chengqi turn over and even helped him out of bed to walk a few steps.
