263 263 What Do You Work As?

“Big brother, are your legs injured?” Tao Qi looked at Zhuang Liu curiously. “Did you break your leg while learning how to ride a bicycle?” His classmate had broken his leg while learning how to ride a bicycle and had been in a wheelchair for a long time.

“Little Qi, you can’t be so rude!” Tao Qi’s mother scolded.

“It’s fine,” Zhuang Liu said. “I didn’t break my leg when I was learning how to ride a bicycle. It’s because of other reasons, but I’m almost completely healed.”

Tan Rou had been treating him and was very clear about his condition. He had been recovering well recently and could now stand for at least a few seconds. However, because she did not want to burden his legs before he recovered, she suggested that Zhuang Liu practice standing for a while.

“What is the reason the…Wu….wu….”

Tan Rou stuffed a small piece of bread into his mouth. “Hurry up and eat your favorite bread. There won’t be any more later.”

Zhuang Liu heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn’t want to talk about his injured leg in front of others. Fortunately, Tan Rou helped him out.

“Oh my, it must have been tiring for you.” Mother Tao was a kind woman. She thought about how the child was so young but had trouble sleeping and was also stuck in a wheelchair. Why did all the bad things happen at the same time?

“It’s alright.” Zhuang Liu smiled. He was actually quite grateful for his illness. If it wasn’t for this illness, he probably wouldn’t be able to talk to Tan Rou, let alone sit and eat together like this.

“What does Mr. Zhuang do for a living?” Mr. Tao said. His voice carried a hint of dignity, and his aura was very strong.

Zhuang Liu replied casually without batting an eyelid. “I’m helping my family manage the company now.”

“Oh, you look so young. I thought you were still in university. I didn’t expect you to be helping the family.”

Zhuang Liu replied, “I went to school early and skipped a few grades. I graduated from university at the age of nineteen and majored in economics and law. Then, I chose to study for a master’s degree and a Ph.D. I’m currently studying for a Ph.D. in economics.”

“Then you’re about the same age as our eldest son, but not only did you get a double degree at this age, but you also got a master’s degree and are studying for a Ph.D. That’s impressive.” Mrs. Tao gave her compliments.

Zhuang Liu’s results were something that he could boast about. The reason why he said all these today was to leave a good impression on Tan Rou’s parents. After all, which parent did not like a good-looking, smart and successful son-in-law?

“What kind of business does your family do?” Tao Zheng was still worried. He felt that this man was up to no good.

Mrs. Tao stopped him. “Xiao Zheng, don’t always ask about other people’s privacy!”

Zhuang Liu said gently, “Some investments. It could be real estate, biotechnology, information technology, and so on.”

“Seems complicated. You seem to come from a rich family.”

Tao Zheng didn’t know much about this but he continued, “Then why didn’t your family treat your legs first?”

Mrs. Tao felt a headache coming on. How could she have given birth to such two simple-minded sons? Mr. Zhuang was already suffering from a wheelchair. Perhaps he couldn’t sleep because of his leg injury. Yet, these two kept asking him questions.

“I’m already getting it treated.” Zhuang Liu glanced at Tan Rou. “It’ll be fine soon.”

Tan Rou said, “Second Brother, Mr. Zhuang’s leg is already injured. Can you stop bringing it up?”

Hearing that his sister was defending Zhuang Liu, Tao Zheng’s alarm bells kept ringing in his heart. Was his cute sister really going to be kidnapped by this man in a wheelchair?

“That’s right. Xiao Zheng, you should stop.” Mrs. Tao chimed in.

Tao Zheng was defeated and could only sit down and eat quietly.

“Xiao Zhuang, don’t be shy. Just tell me what you want to eat.” Mother Tao liked this child very much. He was very handsome. Although he was in a wheelchair, he mentioned that he would recover soon. Most importantly, this child was very compatible with their Xiao Rou. Together, they were a perfect match.

Moreover, since he was her daughter’s friend and had helped her deal with some matters from time to time, he must not be a bad person. If their daughter liked him, she would be at ease leaving her daughter in his hands.

After they finished eating, Tao Zheng and Tao Qi were responsible for cleaning up the place while Mother Tao and Father Tao went for a walk to digest their food. Tan Rou was responsible for sending Zhuang Liu back because Xiao Mo had not appeared yet. They couldn’t allow him to walk back alone.
