The development of the situation was much as Du Heng had anticipated; it wasn't until lunchtime that the check-ups for Zhang Long's team finally concluded.
Furthermore, because of Fan Jimin's situation, everyone's attitude towards Du Heng underwent a significant change. If not a full 180-degree turn, it was at least 90 degrees.
No one who approached wore the same cold expression they had upon first entering. At the very least, their faces had softened considerably, and they even managed faint, somewhat awkward smiles.
Moreover, as more people completed their check-ups, the smiles on the faces of those waiting grew even wider.
Their smiles bloomed as brilliantly as the peony flowers in Du Heng's backyard.
As their attitudes improved, Du Heng's mood improved as well.
