Chapter 643: A Very Minor Surgery!

The doorbell rang. Tang Ye walked over to open the door, only to see Xiao Hui standing at the entrance carrying several gift boxes.

"I saw the car here and guessed you were home. Sure enough, I guessed right."

Seeing Xiao Hui appear, Du Xi hurriedly wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and stepped forward to greet her, "You came to visit, why did you bring things along?"

Xiao Hui said in a worldly-wise manner, "Visiting during the New Year, one certainly cannot come empty-handed. That would be so impolite."

After saying this, she took the initiative to greet Qin Lan, "Auntie Qin, hello!"

Qin Lan recognized Xiao Hui and cast a complex look toward Tang Ye.

Tang Ye hurriedly spread his hands, putting on an innocent look that said he didn't know anything about it.

Xiao Hui and Du Xi chatted in the living room, while Qin Lan forced Tang Ye into the kitchen.

"Son, don't you want to explain what exactly is going on here?"

Tang Ye was caught between laughter and tears, "What is there for me to explain? Xiao Hui and Du Xi are classmates and friends. We all live in the same residential compound; isn't it normal to visit each other during the New Year?"

Qin Lan poked Tang Ye on the forehead with her thumb and warned, "I recognized her at a glance. This Xiao Hui was the class beauty back when you were in high school, and she had you completely infatuated at the time. I want to remind you that this woman is clearly not a simple person. I am particularly satisfied with Du Xi; if you dare to do anything to let Du Xi down, I absolutely will not spare you."

Tang Ye nodded vigorously, "Mom, I know what I'm doing. You have to trust me."

Qin Lan's tone became low, "Du Xi's health has been found to have issues, and her emotions are unstable. You need to take care of her emotional state even more at a time like this."

Tang Ye thought to himself that Qin Lan's values were very upright, "Du Xi is truly lucky to have met such a reasonable and good mother-in-law like you."

Qin Lan patted Tang Ye on the shoulder, "It is mainly because she is very good and deserves for me to be good to her. This is called treating others as you would like to be treated!"

Seeing that there were clear tear stains at the corners of Du Xi's eyes—traces of having cried—Xiao Hui felt an inexplicable sense of happiness rise in her heart for some reason.

She mentally brainstormed many possibilities.

Could it be that Du Xi had a conflict with Tang Ye?

Or perhaps her relationship with her mother-in-law was not harmonious?

Tang Ye walked out of the kitchen and said softly, "Xiao Hui, will you stay for lunch later?"

Xiao Hui hurriedly stood up and smiled, "I just came over to sit for a while; I won't stay for lunch. I'll take my leave now."

Tang Ye thought to himself that Xiao Hui's emotional intelligence was quite high, as she could tell he was issuing a polite dismissal.

Xiao Hui walked over to the shoe cabinet, put on her high-heeled leather boots, and suddenly gave Tang Ye a fawning smile.

"There is one thing I must thank you for."

"What thing?" Tang Ye was baffled.

"I visited Dong District Chief before the New Year, and she was very attentive to my job transfer. I have already received a call from the Shugang District personnel department, and after the New Year, I will be working in the Shugang District Government Office. I only had a one-time encounter with Dong District Chief; the fact that she was willing to see me and help me resolve my needs was mainly out of respect for you. I will definitely keep this favor in my heart."

When Xiao Hui said this, she secretly glanced at Du Xi.

Xiao Hui suddenly bringing up Dong Miaoying had the air of stirring up trouble and looking for issues where there were none.

Tang Ye smiled faintly, "Congratulations on getting your wish. Dong District Chief was willing to give you a chance because you have the ability. I wish you a happy time working in your new position."

Xiao Hui smiled, "Rest assured, I will work hard to improve my abilities in the new position. It is certainly unrealistic to want to catch up to your pace in this lifetime, but I will keep working hard so as not to be left too far behind by you."

After seeing Xiao Hui off, Tang Ye shook his head helplessly and sat down beside Du Xi, "I didn't expect that Dong Miaoying actually helped Xiao Hui resolve her job transfer. Looking at it this way, Xiao Hui is quite good at getting things done."

Du Xi teased, "Dong District Chief is a famous beautiful leader here in Hanzhou. Since she gives you so much face, you should properly repay her."

Tang Ye laughed out loud and flicked Du Xi's nose, "Why do I smell a pungent scent of vinegar?"

Du Xi pouted in sulky anger, "I was already insecure to begin with, and now that my health has problems, I have even less confidence."

Tang Ye kissed Du Xi on the cheek and said with a smile, "You are the all-capable Captain Du."

Du Xi's cheeks turned red, "That depends on the situation."

Qin Lan had been secretly observing the situation in the living room, and only when she saw that the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law was harmonious did her mood relax.

Xiao Qin took the initiative to contact Qin Lan to tell her about Du Xi's test results.

On one hand, she hoped that Qin Lan could understand, and on the other hand, she also wanted Qin Lan to find out through Tang Yu how to proceed with the follow-up treatment.

Qin Lan made a phone call to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu immediately contacted the Reproductive Assistance Department, clarified the whole story, and gave a conclusion: it was a very minor surgery.

However, for the sake of caution, Tang Yu decided to seek help from Professor Cheng and have Du Xi go to the Capital to have this surgery done.

One must know that Old Tang would never have used his connections in the past.

This time, it was only for Du Xi's sake that he made an exception.

……

When Xiao Hui returned home, Shao Jinbo was playing a game on his computer.

During this period, Shao Jinbo had become obsessed with a computer game and was playing it every day.

Xiao Hui did not interfere too much with this; the two of them were strangers under the same roof to begin with, and this way of getting along was a relief for both of them.

Shao Jinbo put down the mouse in his hand and frowned, "Where did you just go?"

Xiao Hui rolled her eyes, "Where I go, what does that have to do with you?"

Shao Jinbo sneered, "If you go to Tang Ye's house, then it has everything to do with me!"

Seeing that Shao Jinbo had exposed her, Xiao Hui simply stopped hiding it, "That's right, I went to pay a New Year's visit to Tang Ye and Du Xi. The reason is very simple: Tang Ye did me a huge favor. After the New Year, I will leave the damn Education Bureau and go to work at the Shugang District Government Office. This was all thanks to Tang Ye's help!"

Shao Jinbo looked at Xiao Hui in shock and said through gritted teeth, "He helped you transfer jobs? You, you, and him..."

Xiao Hui angrily interrupted Shao Jinbo, "Don't look at Tang Ye with your dirty thoughts. Everything between Tang Ye and me is clean."

Shao Jinbo curled his lip and smiled, "Is that so? By the way, I have some news about Tang Ye; I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Xiao Hui's heart skipped a beat, and she feigned indifference, "Tell me if you want, or don't!"

Shao Jinbo laughed sinisterly, "It is said that Tang Ye went to the hospital before the New Year to get checked for infertility. Tang Ye and Du Xi have been married for a year. They don't have children; don't you find that quite strange?"

Xiao Hui remained calm, "We got married earlier than them, don't we also not have children?"

Shao Jinbo said flatly, "We decided to be DINKs, but they have always wanted children. Now everyone outside is saying that Tang Ye can't have children, that his sperm is dead!"

Xiao Hui said unhappily, "I think you are just jealous of Tang Ye and are deliberately slandering him."

Shao Jinbo picked up the mouse again, his eyes fixed on the monitor, "You just keep defending Tang Ye; sooner or later, you will see his true colors. This guy is nothing but a silver-tipped pewter spear—good to look at, but useless!"

Xiao Hui naturally did not believe Shao Jinbo's slander against Tang Ye.

However, she vaguely sensed that a crisis had definitely emerged between Tang Ye and Du Xi!
