Chapter 623: News Spreads
aneously retreating from the crumbling fortress.As everyone was evacuating the castle, it "rumbled and shook," collapsing in half. Dust filled the air along with terrifying screams.Then everyone saw...The daughter of "Southern Jiao Long" Duan Zongqing and the son of "Northeast Tiger" Zhang Songlin are about to get engaged. This means that the two largest warlord forces in the north and south are about to join together. When this news broke, everyone reacted differently. Some were happy, some worried, some dismissive, and many more were watching.
However, due to the fear of both sides' power, most small forces are currently taking a wait-and-see attitude. Intelligence officers from countries Y, F, and M have all sent the news back to their home countries, hoping for further instructions, because they are the ones who least want Xia Guo to unify. In this way, they would be unable to plunder more benefits from Xia Guo.
And Yun Siyu was currently working as a nurse at a church hospital. As she was changing into her work uniform, she heard two female nurses discussing engagement beside her and smiled while asking about it:
Where did you hear that from Is the information accurate
"My uncle who works at the police station told me that they received orders to welcome Zhang Dashuai's arrival. They have canceled leave, strengthened patrols, and are making sure nothing goes wrong."
The nurse with an oval face replied.
"The message must be accurate. If it were fake news, Duan Dashuai would definitely not spread it around randomly."
Another person also agreed.
"If you guys say so, then it must be true. I just wonder where the engagement ceremony will be held It's definitely going to be a big affair, and I don't know if we'll even be able to get a glimpse of it. I've never met Duan Dashao's daughter before!"
Yun Si Yu changed her clothes and continued to chat nonchalantly with the two.
"It should be held at the Baoli Hotel. That's the biggest hotel in all of NN City; I heard it was built with foreign investment."
Another one immediately said.
Listening to the two people's conversation, Yun Siyu's heart was burning hot. At this time, she no longer had a trace of Xiaoyu from before.
Yunsi, after much deliberation, decided to spend half of the money she had taken from Feng's family. She spent a year recuperating her body before applying for a job at the hospital run by the church.
Although she was a medical doctor, she had no certificates or license to practice medicine. Though the church confirmed her competence after assessment, she could only start as a nurse.
Yun Si Yu wasn't in a hurry. She believed that with her own efforts, she would surely gain everyone's recognition.
After a year of hard work, she is now a nurse but does the work of a doctor. The church also solved her housing and food problems as compensation, which makes Yunsiyu very satisfied.
With savings in hand, she also began to pay more attention to her upkeep and had a few outfits made for important occasions. Her everyday attire became more stylish, and some men started to pursue her, but she politely declined them all.
Before I found my aunt, I wasn't thinking about personal matters. Plus, I have family to support back home in the north, so I don't want to be a burden on others. Her actions actually improved her reputation even more. And she always handles herself well when interacting with men, so everyone at the hospital, the young doctors and nurses especially, like to share news with her.
Actually, it's not that Yunsi didn't want to find someone to rely on, it's just that she hadn't found someone who met her requirements. Especially after a chance encounter, she met Zhang Xietuo and even helped him out. She immediately set her sights on him, after all, he was the future founding father of the country.
Yun Siyu first met Zhang Xuetuo at the hospital chapel. That day happened to be her night shift, and she was dozing off when Zhang Xuetuo rushed in holding a child. The other party was dying, and blood from his mouth had already stained Zhang Xuetuo's shirt red.
"Doctor! Doctor! There's an injured boy here, please help him!"
A voice filled with urgency caused Yun Si Yu to quicken her pace, leading the other person to the treatment room:
“Stop shouting, the doctor isn't here. Take the person to the treatment room first, and I’ll have a look.”
Zhang Xuedao carried the person into the consulting room and stood aside with furrowed brows. Yun Siyu took a stethoscope and carefully listened, then naturally asked:
How did you get hurt
"I was driving home when the other party suddenly rushed over. I slammed on the brakes, but still hit him."
Zhang Xuetao said with a grim face.
Actually, Yunshi had already smelled the alcohol on him. It was clearly drunk driving that caused his delayed reaction and made him hit someone. However, the boy suddenly running out also played a part in this.
“Your reaction was timely, and he likely used his hand to block the impact, resulting in a fractured arm that requires a splint. Other areas are just abrasions. There may be internal bleeding, but it's hard to tell at the moment. We'll have to wait until he wakes up to know for sure.”
The diagnosis concluded, Yunsiyu turned to Zhang Xuetao and said:
"Sir, please pay the fees first and then we'll process your hospital admission."
Ok.
After Zhang Xuetao left, Yun Siyu performed first aid on the boy. After she arranged for the injured boy to be taken care of, the other party left some money with her to help take care of him. She didn't refuse.
At first glance, she could tell that the person responsible for the accident was not an ordinary individual. Moreover, the other party didn't attempt to flee. Even though he was just a beggar, he had sent them to the hospital, showing a sense of responsibility. Therefore, she had a very good first impression of Zhang Xuetao, and she always felt that there was something familiar about him.
Three days after the incident, Zhang Xuedao came to visit the boy who had already regained consciousness. He specifically sought out Yunsiyu, the nurse who had treated him, to inquire about his condition. As they chatted back and forth, the two became acquainted.
Zhang Xuetao admires Yun Siyu as an independent woman, and it's very comfortable to chat with her without any pressure.
When Yun Siyu learned that the other party was Zhang Xuetuo, and the son of Northeast Tiger Zhang Fenglin, she felt like a pie falling from the sky. Being able to interact with the future national father gave her more things to think about.
According to Yun Siyu's memory and Zhang Xietuo's age, he hadn't yet taken over as the head of the Zhang family at this time. He was simply Zhang Dashuai's son, but that was enough for her to make an investment in advance because the return was known.
So, from then on, Yun Siyu kept in touch with Zhang Xietou, even pretending not to know that he was the son of a warlord. She simply pretended to guess that he was the son of some wealthy family, maintaining a certain social distance. She interacted with him without being too close or too far away.
At this time, the news of the engagement was leaked. She could take advantage of this opportunity to expose the other party's identity and appear as a victim, using a strategy of feigning disinterest. As long as she stayed by Zhang Xuetao's side for the next four years, she would definitely have a chance.
Because he knew that in order to be a qualified bride, a daughter of the Duan family would study abroad for a period of time, and when she returned after completing her studies, it would be the time for them to get married. All this was considered a beautiful story at the time.
But for Yun Siyu, the Duan family's daughter was truly foolish. A separation of four years was a long time, and a long-distance relationship wasn't easy to maintain.
At this moment, someone came to call Yunsi Yu to the phone. She smiled and went to the front desk, picked it up, and a familiar voice came from the other end:
"Siyu, would you be free to meet up after work today" if a better choice arises, I would be passive."Ripple spoke meaningfully.It seems you are very confident about your future civil service exam journey.The chief of the Su tribe's eyes flashed, and he...
