Chapter 65: Confusion
Yu Yuan looked calm and said, "Mr. Yang, you are too kind. My wife has a clear mind and no worldly distractions."
Yang Mingsheng was slightly stunned. He always maintained a sense of boundaries with Ruogu during their brief contact, so he didn't understand him well.
After thinking for a moment, he chuckled and said, "Dr. Chen has been indifferent to fame and fortune over the years and has been quietly working in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. She is indeed a kind person. It is a great blessing for my brother to have her accompany him in this life."
If a person is narrow-minded, he might think wrongly after hearing this, but Yu Yuan would not.
He smiled and said, "I totally agree with you. Having her is my greatest happiness in this life."
Yang Mingsheng was caught off guard and fed a mouthful of dog food. He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He called just to test Yu Yuan's attitude. This time he didn't mind saying a few good words in front of Mr. Wang, but he might not do that next time.
How could Yu Yuan, who came from the world of fame and fortune, not know the value of hooking up with the president of Kemao Group? He was able to keep a steady mind and remain calm. He is a sophisticated friend worth making friends with.
Yang Mingsheng's perception of him changed, and his attitude towards him was also different. He chuckled as if he were an old friend and said, "Then I know what's going on. I won't bring up this matter when I go to the dinner later."
Yu Yuan said in a low voice: "Thank you Mr. Yang for your understanding. The Wang family is in a complicated situation. It would be better if my wife is not involved."
Yang Mingsheng could understand his thoughts. Any man with a little bit of ability would not be willing to exchange his wife for benefits.
He said calmly, "It's settled then. See you tonight."
After the two of them finished their call, Yu Yuan walked out of the set. Liao Dingmin was waiting for him in the car. He had to dress appropriately to attend a private dinner, so he had to go back and change his clothes.
After he got in the car, Liao Dingmin drove away and said in a steady voice:
"Brother Yuan, when we go to the Royal Blue Club later, should I wait outside or wait for your call?"
Yu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Just play with your phone in the car and wait. Who knows if there will be any unexpected situation."
Assistant Liao is smart. He knows very well that the business world is like a battlefield. None of the business tycoons that have emerged from the brutal competition are simple. Brother Yuan has worked hard to deal with the situation, and it is only natural for him to stay.
Yu Yuan has been working hard for so many years, he is not afraid of dealing with people, but he is afraid of causing trouble for Ruogu. Although the matter of the Science and Technology Trade Group has not yet happened, he still has to remind Ruogu.
Assistant Liao was not an outsider, so the couple did not need to avoid him when they called each other. This time, after the number was dialed, the busy tone sounded for more than half a minute before the call was picked up.
Ruogu panted slightly and said, "Excuse me, I just gave an acupuncture to a patient. Why are you calling at this time? Is there something wrong?"
Yu Yuan said distressedly: "Don't worry, catch your breath first. I didn't know you were busy. It's nothing serious. I just wanted to remind you."
Ruogu was puzzled, "I'm at home with Huaixi and everything is fine, what are you reminding me of?"
Yu Yuan said calmly, "Dr. Chen is famous for saving the dying and healing the wounded. Someone wants to see you again."
Ruogu sees patients every day. To her, it doesn't matter who she sees, so she doesn't take it too seriously. After drinking some water to moisten her throat, she said nonchalantly, "Come to Jishidiang for treatment. I didn't deliberately raise the threshold."
Yu Yuan laughed softly, as if he was always relaxed and happy whenever he was with her. He continued, "Have you heard of the Science and Technology Trade Group?"
Ruogu said naturally: "I don't pay attention to the affairs of the upper class, and I have never heard of the Science and Trade Group. Did their family ask me to treat their illness?"
Yu Yuan hummed, and said in a steady voice:
"The mother of the president of the Science and Technology Trade Group did not wake up for some unknown reason after undergoing heart surgery. After losing her husband, this old lady managed Science and Technology Trade for more than 20 years on her own. Her son was able to take charge of the company independently, but she did not hesitate to abdicate. She is an admirable old lady."
Ruogu looked calm. A woman with such outstanding abilities is truly admirable.
"I know about this. If you need my help, I will do my best."
Yu Yuan chuckled, "You may not really be needed. The Science and Technology Trade Group is fundamentally different from Mr. Yang's side. If the people who come here have a bad attitude, you don't have to pay attention to them."
Ruogu nodded in agreement. It would be fine if he didn't look for her, but if he did, the initiative would be in her hands and she would have the final say on how to proceed. However, she was also somewhat interested in this disease and didn't mind making a trip.
Ruogu did not ask about Yu Yuan’s private dinner. He was capable of handling things and did not need her to tell him what to do.
However, when He Hui heard Ruogu mention the Science and Technology Trade Group, he waited for her to hang up the phone and then went out of his way to introduce the group to her in detail. To put it bluntly, it was a large conglomerate spanning multiple business fields, and its wealth was beyond Ruogu's imagination, but she was only surprised for a moment and did not take it to heart.
This incident did not cause any ripples in Ruogu's heart. She continued to do what she had to do. After dinner, she had the leisure to go for a walk in the park. However, it was a chilly autumn night, so Ruogu wore an extra coat.
Sister Yang wanted to dismantle the kitchen range hood for cleaning and did not accompany her for a walk. Ruogu just took a casual walk in the park near her home. Huaixi's exercise volume today had exceeded the limit and she was currently doing Olympiad math problems at home.
On this quiet autumn night, the cold wind made the park paths deserted and not many people were walking. Ruogu had just passed through the pavilion with an ancient style when he saw a familiar figure not far away.
She looked closely. The man's walking posture and figure looked a bit like Teacher Gao. The light was dim and she couldn't see clearly. Ruogu was not sure, "Is that Teacher Gao in front?"
The man paused, looked up at Ruogu for a few seconds, and then raised his voice and asked, "Is that Ruogu? Why are you walking here alone?"
Ruogu confirmed the identity of the visitor, quickened his pace and walked towards her, saying in a brisk voice:
"My family is busy with their own things, so I came out by myself. It's hard enough for you to accompany the students to climb the mountain, why are you out now?" Teacher Gao chuckled and said, "I'm so old, the school doesn't dare to let me climb the mountain with the students, I'll just sit at the foot of the mountain and wait for them."
Ruogu's lips curled up slightly, and she said in a relaxed tone: "Then it's just right that we can go for a walk together. Although it's a bit chilly, it's still quite relaxing to walk."
Teacher Gao nodded slightly. Apart from other factors, she still admired Ruogu very much.
"Your clinic has been very busy recently. I see a lot of patients every time I pass by there. You are even better than your father. If Old Chen were still alive, he would definitely be very pleased."
Ruogu's memories of her parents gradually became blurred. She could no longer remember what her original father looked like, but she felt warm in her heart when she thought of him. Ruogu said softly:
"My father is a very open-minded person. He always told me that his children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Although he wanted me to inherit Jishiditang, he never forced me. After I got pregnant, I dropped out of school to take care of the baby, but he did not stop me. Instead, he came to my side and took care of me wholeheartedly."
Teacher Gao's face was full of smiles as she recalled the past. She said in a low voice:
"At that time, your mother hadn't retired yet, and she suddenly asked for leave. We didn't know what was going on. The few times they came back, they were very happy to see them. I guess they were having a good time with you."
Ruogu could no longer remember the specific details of their time together, but she was very comfortable with her parents by her side throughout the pregnancy. She did not feel sad even though Yu Yuan was busy and could not be with her.
Ruogu's face was full of memories, and she said in a gentle voice:
"At that time, most of the time it was the three of us who took care of Huaixi, so it wasn't very tiring. Brother Yuan never lacked money, and he was very respectful to my parents, so we all lived a good life."
Although Mr. and Mrs. Chen are no longer alive, Teacher Gao still envies them in her heart. They had their daughter and grandchildren to accompany them when they were alive, and even after they are gone, there are people who care about them all the time. This is much better than her, who is alive but disliked by her son.
She said in a bitter voice: "After all, your parents enjoyed the blessing of their daughter and saw their granddaughter. Even if they are gone, they shouldn't have too many regrets in their hearts. It would be annoying for me to live on without dying."
Ruogu frowned slightly, thinking something was wrong with what she said, and said tactfully:
"How can you say that? You have a pension, not only can you take care of yourself, but you are also the teacher that we parents trust the most. If something really happens to you, what will happen to so many students? The high school entrance examination is so serious now, and parents are counting on you."
Teacher Gao was a little dazed. If she had heard the parents say this in the past, she would have been very pleased and motivated. But now, she couldn't help but think of what her son had said to her before, and she felt indescribably depressed.
She said in a hoarse voice: "I may be successful in my career, but I really haven't done well enough for my family and my son. It's reasonable for him to blame me."
Ruogu didn't know what Shao Bai had said to Teacher Gao. She didn't know the inside story and couldn't say much. She just chuckled and said, "When Shao Bai just came back from abroad, he seemed to be in a very negative mood. Maybe he wasn't happy, and he had no choice but to vent his anger on you. This doesn't mean he doesn't love you. When people reach a dead end, they always have more extreme ideas."
Teacher Gao sighed heavily. Since there were no outsiders around, she didn't have to worry too much and said bluntly:
"Shao Bai only has you in his heart. He seems to be possessed by a demon. I'm really afraid that he will do something wrong. If that day comes, I hope you can be more tolerant of him."
Ruogu's eyes were deep, and she smiled softly:
"Teacher Gao, you may be wrong. You and I don't know what Shao Bai has been through abroad. He may have had some feelings for me when he was young, but he doesn't know me now, so how can he like me? You may not know that there is something new going on around him now. The last time I saw him, he was shopping in the supermarket with a female colleague."
Teacher Gao was surprised. Shao Bai was a man who preferred to be alone rather than have anything in common. He was very sensible and would never casually associate with female lesbians. In Teacher Gao's opinion, such an act as shopping in the supermarket was considered close. She said in disbelief, "No way? Did you see it wrong? I've never heard of this before."
Ruogu said briskly, "That's it. You can't possibly know everything about him. I've even talked to that teacher Xiao. She looks very young and is a colleague of Shao Bai. The two of them are a perfect match, one is cute and lively while the other is mature and steady."
Teacher Gao no longer cared about her depression and hurriedly pulled Ruogu to get to the bottom of the matter. Her attention was quickly diverted. If Ruogu hadn't said that he was tired and wanted to go home and rest, she would have continued talking.
After parting with Teacher Gao, Ruogu felt relieved. As soon as she walked to the door of the clinic, she saw a row of luxury cars whose names she couldn't remember. Just by looking at the car logos, she knew they were very expensive.
Ruogu did not stop. She continued to walk towards the clinic without changing her expression. As soon as she entered, she saw a noble and cold man sitting on her chair.
He looked to be in his thirties. Not only was he handsome, but he also seemed to exude a sense of pride and reserve from the bottom of his heart. When he saw Ruogu coming in, he took the initiative to stand up and said in a cold voice:
"Hello, Doctor Chen! I am Wang Zhengjun, the president of the Science and Technology Trade Group. I am sorry to bother you without permission. My mother is in a critical condition and has been in a coma for 48 hours. If she doesn't wake up, she will become a vegetable. I am sorry to trouble you to go out and see her."
He was very humble, and it was obvious that he was a filial son. Ruogu was satisfied. She said in a steady and calm voice, "I don't have any other plans tomorrow, but I can go out for medical treatment. Do you want to leave now?"
Wang Zhengjun was a little surprised. He thought the trip wouldn't be so smooth, but she agreed so readily. He said quickly, "Let's go now. Don't worry. I will arrange everything else. You just need to go."
Ruogu was naturally not worried about these things. Huaixi was upstairs and didn't know anything about it. Ruogu gave Sister Yang a few instructions, took the silver needle, and got into the car with Wang Zhengjun.
Ruogu sat in the car, his state of mind was like a deep lake. Even though stones fell into it, he remained peaceful and calm.
It was already past ten o'clock at night when they arrived at the hospital. She followed Wang Zhengjun inside, and Wang Zhengjun explained softly, "This hospital is invested by my family. You don't have to worry about other doctors being present."
He said this with full confidence. Ruogu nodded slightly when he heard it. It would be a joke if the doctors in the hospital dared to have any opinions about a behemoth like the Wang family.
When they arrived at the ward, the old lady was lying quietly on the bed. The doctor on duty whispered a few words to Wang Zhengjun. After listening, he waved his hand and motioned for the other party to go out. The doctor looked at Ruogu with a little dissatisfaction, but did not dare to say anything more.
Ruogu ignored him and sat in front of the bed. She put her finger on the old lady's pulse and felt it carefully. Wang Zhengjun looked at her seriously. When Ruogu raised her finger, he asked, "Doctor Chen, how is my mother?"
Ruogu said calmly, "The old lady is in a coma. She was undergoing heart surgery under general anesthesia and low temperature. The key step of the surgery is to restart the heart. The old lady was weak, and when the heart was restarted, the external evil invaded the heart and blinded the mind, causing the coma."
Wang Zhengjun did not question Ruogu. He asked, "Is there any cure?"
Ruogu raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly:
"It can be cured naturally. Acupuncture can promote awakening, expel evil spirits, restore health, and awaken the brain and open the mind."
The grades have dropped drastically, so does that mean everyone doesn’t like this book?
