Chapter 33
Everyone was surprised by Zhen Fan's miraculousness, and the surprise came from the heart.
"This is an ancient Chinese medical technique!"
Zhen Fan wanted to try his best to explain this kind of thing in a less shocking way, so he could only use this excuse.
"Like a witch doctor?"
Raymond was the most curious one. He had read a book introducing Indian witch doctors, and always felt that this method was like Indian witch doctors.
"It's different, because this is a kind of Chinese civilization that has been passed down for a long time!" Zhen Fan's words flickered.
Although he was still full of curiosity, Raymond also saw that Zhen Fan didn't want to say more about this, so he stopped asking. But after Zhen Fan sat down, although several people said this at one time or another, they all looked at Zhen Fan strangely, which made Zhen Fan a little unbearable.
"Will this kind of thing happen again in the future?"
Raymond asked again.
"I mean, is there any problem with Angela's illness?"
Zhen Fan looked at Angela who had already walked out, and smiled and said, "Actually, it is also because Angela's physical fitness is relatively poor. This is one of the reasons. This can also be seen why you, Vera and Bu That's not the case with Landa."
Angela nodded: "I've always had a bit of neurasthenia. I've had it since I was a child. I've seen a doctor, but...the result is still the same!" She shrugged helplessly and sighed!
"Zhen's medical skills are very good!"
Anne interjected.
"Claire used to sleep restlessly and seemed depressed, but Zhen cured her! Claire is my daughter, she is six years old!"
"Really?" Angela's eyes flashed.
"I'll get my qualification certificate soon!" Zhen Fan added, it's not bad to win over a client, even though she is his neighbor, it doesn't affect his ability to make money!
"Then you can give it a try!" Raymond made a conclusion on this topic, he was very convinced by Zhen's performance just now.
Then several people discussed some homely words, and also discussed the murder of George's wife, analyzing various possible reasons in a hurry. In the end, Raymond and Angela asked again if there would be any problems with the house, and received Zhen Fan's reassurance that there would be no problems. This ended the party tonight.
Raymond enthusiastically sent everyone to the door. But Brenda insisted on sending Zhen Fan far away, and naturally took Zhen Fan's arm.
This move made Raymond frown a little, but he turned around and went in without saying anything.
"Did you see it?"
Raymond entered the house and asked Angela who came in with him.
"I see, our daughter Brenda took Zhen's arm, what does that mean?" Brenda cleaned up the leftovers and rubbish from the party just now.
"Zhen is our friend, and Brenda is only seventeen!"
Raymond's words have two meanings, one is that Zhen and they are friends and should not have anything to do with his daughter, and the other is that Brenda is too young to be suitable.
"You think too much, Brenda is small, but it doesn't affect what she thinks about Zhen, but I think, no matter what Brenda decides,
Do you think Zhen is only seventeen years old? If that's the case, I can't wait, Zhen is a rare good person, and he is quite capable! "
Raymond raised his hand: "Well, you decide this, but... maybe it's a good thing!"
What the Raymonds think may not be very important, because the key is what Brenda thinks. Now Brenda was holding Zhen Fan's arm, and asked in front of Thomas and Annie: "Zhen, can I go to your place now?"
Zhen Fan suddenly looked a little unnatural.
"Let's go first, Zhen!" Thomas greeted with a smile.
"Claire is still at home, and I don't know how she and Julia are doing? But to be honest, Julia is really good at raising children!" When Annie said this, she glanced at Zhen Fan, "Goodbye, Zhen, bye, Brenda!"
"Goodbye Uncle Thomas, Aunt Anne!"
Brenda was very polite at this time, not showing the slightest frivolity.
When Thomas and Annie walked away, Zhen Fan stopped and looked at Brenda: "Speak up, talk here if you have anything to say!" Of course, Zhen Fan could hear why Annie mentioned Julia, and the intention was obvious. .
"It's nothing, I just want to see you off and visit your room by the way!"
Brenda had a sly look.
"I'm sorry, Brenda, it's getting late and... I'm going to bed, how about we say good night now?"
Zhen Fan doesn't like her.
"Okay..." Brenda felt a little helpless, "Can you visit me at my school tomorrow? I mean, you probably haven't been to our school, it's great!"
"Is this the reason?"
"Yes, our school club has a dance tomorrow, don't get me wrong, it's... a daily rehearsal of the club, my dance partner hurts his foot, I think...you can replace him." Brenda hesitated.
"that's it?"
"That's all!" Brenda nodded, not daring to look into Zhen Fan's puzzled eyes.
"Okay, I promise you, but... it's just this one time, don't make another example!" Zhen Fan patted her on the head, "I'm your father's friend, let me help you once!"
This was very clear, but Brenda didn't care, a smug smile appeared on her face.
"So...won't you invite me to your house?"
"See you tomorrow, Brenda!"
Zhen Fan had already waved his hand and walked forward.
"One day you will invite me!" Brenda said in her heart, then waved her hands, "Goodbye, Zhen!" Then she muttered in a low voice: Goodbye, Winnie the Pooh.
Winnie the Pooh? God is sorry, Zhen Fan has already been regarded as a cute toy by this girl.
Back home, Zhen Fan saw the bright light on the mobile phone on the table, and there were two missed calls on both sides. Zhen Fan didn't like to carry mobile phones with him, and few people knew the mobile phone number he used in the United States. A trip to a neighbor's house is not a long trip.
It was Ryan and Sarah calling.
Zhen Fan first chose Ren and dialed back.
"Hey, Zhen, I found out. If you want to see the results, come to the office tomorrow, and... the boss also called you. Damn it, it's so late, where are you going to fool around?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, goodbye!"
Zhen Fan immediately pressed the hang up button. This made Renn on the other end of the phone very depressed. He wanted to show off his achievements on the phone.
Is it necessary to call Sarah? Zhen Fan thought for a while, and decided to forget it. Anyway, he was going to the office tomorrow, and it would not be too late to talk about it. It was probably about Ren's investigation.
The next day, Zhen Fan got up early and was about to go for a run in sports shorts and a vest when he met Raymond who was about to send the two sisters to school.
"Hi, Zhen, good morning!"
"morning!"
Zhen Fan and Raymond greeted each other, and Brenda ran over and hugged Zhen Fan: "Don't be late before three o'clock this afternoon!" This was very lightly said. Then let go of Zhen Fan and walked back, waving as he walked.
"Morning, Zhen!"
"Good morning, Uncle Zhen!"
The address of Vera made Zhen Fan a little bit broken. This girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, and she still calls her uncle. Could it be that she is really old? Zhen Fan touched his chin, he even shaved off the stubble, he really doesn't look old, why did he call him Uncle!
"Goodbye, Vera!" Zhen Fan waved his hand to bid them farewell. Then follow the car and start running.
Brenda turned her head and looked at the muscular lines and charm exuding from the running window from the rear window, the corners of her mouth were always upturned.
"Sit down, Brenda!"
Raymond saw Brenda's movements from the rearview mirror, and couldn't help reminding her. Maybe it should be like Angela said, Brenda is only seventeen years old, this matter can't stop her, but Zhen is not seventeen years old, let it be!
"Yes, Dad, concentrate on driving your car!"
Brenda snorted unhappily.
The car parked steadily near the gate of Chapala High School. The two sisters got out of the car. Vera waved goodbye to Raymond, but Brenda walked towards the gate first, towards several friends who came over. waved.
"Brenda, Ryan's foot is hurt, what about today's practice? And our dance competition in California high school is about to start, I'm so worried...that bitch Jennifer will replace us!"
A tall, fair-skinned female voice came over and complained to Brenda.
"That's right, our team is counting on you and Ryan. Damn Ryan, if he hadn't had an affair with Jennifer, he wouldn't have been chased, and he wouldn't have sprained his feet!" Another dark-skinned girl muttered dissatisfied. Saying, "Damn bitches, the boys at Chapala High are some shit!"
"Who said the boys in Chapala High School are shit?" Someone suddenly said provocatively. A group of conspicuously dressed female voices approached, and the leading one was very beautiful, no worse than Brenda.
"Jennifer, you are the one who seduced Ryan! You still have the guts to come here!" The black girl became angry when she saw the girl. It turned out that this was the Jennifer they were talking about.
"So what? You can't even look down on your own dance partner, don't you feel ashamed?" Jennifer didn't care about such provocations at all, instead she was complacent. She was here to show off, without Brenda's competition, She can represent Chapala High School in California.
"Bitch!"
The white girl next to Brenda gave Jennifer the middle finger.
"Damn you—" Jennifer got angry, and rushed forward to pull the girl's hair.
"Enough, Jennifer!"
Brenda couldn't be silent anymore, and grabbed Jennifer's arm.
"Let go, son of a bitch, do you want to be beaten?"
Jennifer swung her arm violently, shaking Brenda's hand away.
"I'll be waiting for you. Don't come here. It's useless. If you have the guts, we'll see you on the field. Now is not the time!" Brenda stared at Jennifer coldly.
"Okay, remember!" Jennifer stared at Brenda, then pointed at the white girl, raised her middle finger, and walked away!
