The Supreme Village Doctor

Chapter 178: Chapter 179: The Reason

After Li Yang took action, the other men didn’t dare to try anything else. Instead, they looked at him with fawning expressions.

Li Yang helped Manager Gao out. "Alright, get in the car."

Behind them, a man in sunglasses asked the woman in red beside him, "Sister Lan, are you just going to let them take her away like that? This all happened on your turf!"

The woman in red just stood there and gave a cold smirk. "This is my place. Stay out of it."

The man said, "Oh," and fell silent.

"Alright, you all should head back!" After getting Manager Gao settled in the car, Li Yang said to Zhang Li and the others, "You have work tomorrow, so get some rest. I’ll take Sister Gao home."

They all nodded and then left.

’Just how much did she drink!’ Smelling the strong scent of alcohol, Li Yang couldn’t help but give a wry smile as he pressed a finger to her temple.

Manager Gao immediately felt a wave of clarity. She looked up and was startled to see Li Yang.

"What’s wrong?" Li Yang asked. "Why did you go to a bar and get this drunk?"

Manager Gao composed herself, shook her head, and said, "It’s nothing."

"Nothing?" Li Yang was getting a little angry. "Nothing? You were about to be taken advantage of by a bunch of guys, and you say it’s nothing? By the way, where’s your husband?"

"We divorced a long time ago..." Manager Gao sighed. "He cheated while I was pregnant, so I left him."

Li Yang was suddenly at a loss for words. Finally, he said, "Then... let me take you home."

Manager Gao nodded.

Soon, they arrived at Manager Gao’s apartment complex.

Seeing Manager Gao get out of the car and start heading upstairs, Li Yang called out from behind, "Aren’t you going to invite me up?"

Manager Gao glanced at him. "You’ve got some nerve."

Li Yang chuckled. "What’s there to be shy about?"

In reality, Li Yang had seen her troubled expression and figured something was wrong, so he wanted to go up and help her talk things through.

"Fine, come on up!" Manager Gao said, sounding resigned.

Li Yang immediately followed her up.

The complex was in a decent neighborhood. When they got upstairs, he saw that she had a three-bedroom apartment.

As soon as the door opened, an older woman inside immediately hugged Manager Gao. "You scared me to death! Where did you run off to? The little one couldn’t find you, she wouldn’t even sleep."

"Mom, I’m sorry." Manager Gao looked guilty. "I was being selfish. Where’s the little one? I’ll go see her."

With that, she went into the room.

Li Yang followed her in and said with a smile, "Hello, ma’am. I’m a friend of Manager Gao’s."

"Thank you, please, come in..." Knowing that Li Yang was the one who brought her daughter back, the woman quickly ushered him inside.

From the other room, a little girl’s happy voice could be heard.

"Ma’am, what happened?" Li Yang asked the woman in a low voice. "Sister Gao was fine, why did she suddenly get so upset and go drinking at a bar?"

Tears welled up in the woman’s eyes. "It seems her hotel told her to prepare to resign. They said she wasn’t performing well. She’s the sole breadwinner for our family right now. If she loses her job, what are we going to live on? When she came home from work, my granddaughter was pestering her about some kitten that got bullied, asking her to go talk to whoever did it. She was already stressed, and with the little one going on and on, I think she just snapped."

Li Yang was silent.

’The boss of Fenglaiyi is actually going to fire Manager Gao? That’s completely unexpected.’

"Um... what about Sister Gao’s ex-husband? Doesn’t he pay child support?"

"That bastard? Pay child support? After she gave birth to a girl, he didn’t even bother to come and see the baby once!" the woman said furiously.

Li Yang understood.

Soon, Manager Gao came out with the little girl.

"Mom, it’s alright, you should go to bed now," Manager Gao said. "I’m going to put the little one to sleep."

Then, she looked at Li Yang.

The meaning was obvious.

Li Yang stood up and smiled. "Alright, I’ll get going. Uh... say, how about I treat you all to breakfast tomorrow?"

"Okay!" the little girl said happily.

Li Yang smiled faintly and left immediately.

"Xin Xue, who is that?" As soon as Li Yang was gone, her mother’s curiosity flared up. "He seems very attentive to you. Is he pursuing you?"

Gao Xin Xue was about to deny it, but instead she suddenly asked, "Mom, if he really were pursuing me, would you mind that he’s from the countryside?"

"Of course not! I think he’s a very nice young man!" her mother said, shaking her head. "He’s so polite, and handsome, too. Besides, he went through so much trouble to find you. It looks like he’s good to you."

Gao Xin Xue gave a wry smile. ’He probably just feels guilty,’ she thought.

"Alright, stop asking. We’re just regular friends. Go on to bed."

Her mother nodded.

The next day, Li Yang called Gao Xin Xue early in the morning.

"Sister Gao, come on down for breakfast."

Before long, Gao Xin Xue came downstairs with her daughter and mother, and they all climbed into Li Yang’s pickup truck.
