Chapter 138 Unexpected Incident

Wang Shufen blamed herself, realizing that she had indeed been an incompetent mother.

If she were Xie Nanzhi, she would never forgive herself for this.

With a gentle smile, Xie Nanzhi said softly, "It's all in the past. You've borne what you had to bear. The Xie family had only themselves to blame. As for me, aren't I doing just fine now?"

Wang Shufen knew Xie Nanzhi was trying to comfort her. She just sighed softly and vowed to treat her daughter better and spend the rest of her life making up for what she owed her.

That evening, Xie Nanzhi planned to prepare dinner, but Wang Shufen absolutely refused. She snatched Xie Nanzhi's apron, tied it around her own neck, and happily went to cook.

Xie Nanzhi couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she simply let her go.

In fact, before Mrs. Xie was hospitalized, Xie Nanzhi had already planned to open an art gallery in Gangcheng.

She had been observing site selections before finally deciding on the specific location.

The gallery has three floors and a total area of ​​1,000 square meters. As for the decoration, Xie Nanzhi did not want to compromise and insisted on making it as perfect as possible, which required an investment of tens of millions of yuan.

Speaking of which, this location was actually chosen by Pei Jingchuan when Xie Xiyan was preparing to hold an art exhibition with her friends.

Now, one is inside operating a sewing machine, while the other has turned into ashes.

Upon reflection, Xie Nanzhi felt a pang of emotion.

Soon, it was time for Grandma Xie's surgery. When Yang Qing was seen again, she was wearing a white coat, and her seriousness and professionalism were completely different from when they last met.

The preoperative examinations went smoothly, and Mrs. Xie was wheeled into the operating room.

Xie Nanzhi couldn't help but worry as she stood outside the operating room. Before Yang Qing went into the operating room, she glanced at Xie Nanzhi and said, "Miss Nan, you should trust me. I never make empty promises."

Yang Qing was telling her that the 100% chance of winning she mentioned during their last meeting wasn't just empty talk, but that she really could do it.

Xie Nanzhi looked intently at Yang Qing and said, "Okay."

This surgery is considered a very high-end procedure in the country, and there are very few doctors who can perform it.

Yang Qing made such a boast that all the cardiology and neurology experts in the hospital wanted to go to the operating room to observe and see just how amazing this young girl was.

Xie Nanzhi and Wang Shufen waited outside the operating room. Xie Nanzhi seemed relatively calm, while Wang Shufen paced anxiously back and forth.

About an hour later, Xibei and Zhou Mubin arrived.

Zhou Mubin comforted her, "Grandmother is a lucky person and will surely turn misfortune into good fortune. Don't worry."

Xie Nanzhi nodded.

Just then, Xie Yuanyang arrived as well.

Xie Nanzhi was slightly surprised when she saw him, but the surprise was fleeting. "You've come?"

Xie Yuanyang looked at the operating room light, which was still on, and asked, "How long has Grandma been inside?"

"About an hour."

The brother and sister standing together, even without any tense atmosphere, still gave off an uncomfortable feeling.

After a long pause, Xie Yuanyang suddenly spoke up, "I'm getting married to Yang Zhenzhen early next month. I hope you can bring your grandmother with you."

It wasn't surprising that he was getting married, but Xie Nanzhi was surprised that Xie Yuanyang would invite her.

Xie Nanzhi countered with a question, "Are you sure you want to invite me too?"

Xie Yuanyang frowned arrogantly, his face pulling back, "If you don't want to go, that's fine. Nobody's forcing you to go."

Xie Nanzhi chuckled, a rare smile appearing on her face. "Go."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuanyang and Xie Nanzhi exchanged a smile, a smile of relief and magnanimity.

Later, Xie Nanzhi asked Xie Yuanyang about his marriage to Yang Zhenzhen.

Xie Yuanyang told her that he would take responsibility for Yang Zhenzhen out of a sense of duty, since Yang Zhenzhen was the most innocent one in the whole affair.

However, he refused the offer to marry into the Yang family and would not accept a single penny from them. Xie Yuanyang told Luo Meijuan about this, and Luo Meijuan was furious, confronting him and causing a huge scene.

Perhaps because he hadn't gotten any benefits from Xie Yuanyang, he turned around and went to Xie Nanzhi to throw a tantrum.

Xie Yuanyang leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets. "I no longer work at Shui Tian Yi Se. I recently found a marketing job. It may not pay as much as before, but it's down-to-earth and gives me peace of mind."

Xie Nanzhi casually replied, "It's fine."

It can't compare to the days before, but Xie Yuanyang is very content with his current life.

After a long silence, Xie Yuanyang suddenly said, "Nanzhi, I owe you an apology. I'm sorry."

Xie Nanzhi just smiled and didn't give a direct answer.

After a nearly ten-hour surgery, when Mrs. Xie was wheeled out, the anesthesia hadn't worn off yet. Yang Qing took off her mask and said, "The surgery was a great success, Miss Nan. I didn't let you down, did I?"

Xie Nanzhi said, "Dr. Yang's medical skills are indeed superb."

The cardiology and neurology experts who came out later praised Yang Qing's medical skills highly, their opinions completely changing from their initial skepticism.

There was a lot of praise and admiration, no one complained that Yang Qing was too young, and no one said she lacked experience.

However, Yang Qing seemed not to hear any of this, and his face remained completely expressionless.

It wasn't until the attending physician who had been in charge of Mrs. Xie praised her, saying, "No wonder she is Dr. Fu's prized student. Dr. Fu has such good judgment."

Yang Qing's face immediately turned pale. "Who told you that?"

Forehead.

The attending physician slowly turned his gaze to Xie Nanzhi.

Yang Qing and Xie Nanzhi exchanged glances. "Ms. Nan, would it be convenient for us to have a few words alone?"

Mrs. Xie was admitted to the intensive care unit. She had just undergone craniotomy and would definitely need to be observed for a period of time before being transferred to a regular ward.

Wang Shufen and the others accompanied Old Madam Xie, while Xie Nanzhi and Yang Qing went to the rooftop terrace.

The wind was strong on the rooftop, and the scorching sun made Yang Qing's skin sting. Yang Qing stood on the edge of the rooftop, one step forward and there would be a bottomless abyss.

"You went to see Dr. Fu?"

Xie Nanzhi did not deny it, saying, "I have been there."

Yang Qing turned around, her dark eyes holding an expression Xie Nanzhi couldn't decipher. "How did he mention me to you? He said he never wanted anything to do with me again, that he wouldn't acknowledge me as his teacher, and that I shouldn't mention him to anyone else. How did you find out?"

The wind ruffled the stray hairs at Yang Qing's temples. At this moment, Yang Qing was like a prisoner tormented by love, unable to find his way.

Her motorcycle outfit when they first met seemed more like a disguise, a way to hide her inner barriers.

Xie Nanzhi said truthfully, "It wasn't Dr. Fu who told me, but Mrs. Fu. Although you hurt her, she still acknowledges your abilities. Yang Qing, I really want to know, when you destroyed a family, did you feel even the slightest bit of guilt or shame?"

Yang Qing laughed, "So it was Mrs. Fu who told you. I knew Dr. Fu would never acknowledge me..."

"But I really missed him these past five years, so much. I don't understand why I've become a sinner for all time just because the person I like happens to be a married man."

“I never intended to break up his family. We simply admired each other and never overstepped our bounds.”

Xie Nanzhi frowned slightly. "You can like anyone, even a married man, but as a person with a conscience, you should keep that liking to yourself, instead of causing a family's downfall. Yang Qing, because of you, Dr. Fu's hands can no longer hold a scalpel, and because of you, Mrs. Fu's mind has been traumatized. Don't be so stubborn. You clearly have such a bright future ahead of you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qing's smile was tinged with sadness. She looked deeply at Xie Nanzhi, then closed her eyes, spread her arms, and fell backward.

Xie Nanzhi's eyes widened suddenly.
