Song Zijin kept covering his face with his hands, and the warmth from Jiaojiao's palms still remained on his face.
Everyone said that his wife had hit him in the face, so he was still excited. He only came to his senses halfway through the walk and realized that the direction was to the hospital.
He suddenly stopped and said, "Second Uncle, I'm fine. Don't go to the hospital."
"Kid, don't you know how to take care of yourself? Why do you fight with others?" Uncle Song said reproachfully.
"Hey, Uncle, my face is just a little swollen. Look, there's not even any skin injury."
Song Zijin was too embarrassed to say that he didn't fight, after all, his face was swollen like a pig's head.
"Even if it's just a skin injury, you still have to go and see it. Look how swollen your face is." Uncle Song said worriedly.
Song Zijin insisted on going home, and Uncle Song couldn't persuade him, mainly because Jiaojiao was a miracle doctor and would not really hurt his nephew.
The pedestrians didn't care at all. They just wanted to watch the fun and didn't care whether Song Zijin was really injured or not.
Finally, Uncle Song was sure that Song Zijin just had a swollen face, so he went home with him.
Song Zijin lay on the bed as soon as he got home, staring at the white ceiling in a daze, and what happened today kept flashing through his mind.
Over the years, the memories of my time with Gu Jiaojiao kept playing in my mind.
Even when Jiaojiao was hitting him, she looked lively and cute. Thinking of Jiaojiao, a lewd smile appeared on Song Zijin's face.
"A-choo..."
Gu Jiaojiao, who was pushing the wheelchair towards the door of Ren's house, couldn't help but rub her nose and sneeze.
Su Shuoci couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene: "Wife, you are not catching a cold, are you?"
Gu Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "That's impossible. I was fine just now. Someone must be scolding me."
Su Shuoci smiled and said, "Everyone says that when you sneeze, someone is thinking of you. It must be your father-in-law or mother-in-law."
Gu Jiaojiao also felt that her parents were thinking about her. At this time, Mr. Ren just walked out of the house.
Maybe he had been looking forward to it, and he said it guiltily when he saw Gu Jiaojiao.
"Shuo Ci, Jiao Jiao, I was just talking about you guys when you came here."
The reason why Mr. Ren felt guilty was that he had just hung up the phone with his eldest son.
The person on the other end of the phone said that his daughter Ren Cuiping was already on her way back to Qingcheng and would be home in the afternoon.
Old Master Ren didn't know whether she would go to the Sheng family first or return to the Ren family. What he feared most was the scene of his daughter and granddaughter meeting again.
Given his daughter's resentment, she will definitely give Jiaojiao a hard time. Old Master Ren has made up his mind and will perform the surgery in a few days.
Gu Jiaojiao and Su Shuoci smiled at each other, with the same meaning in their eyes. It turned out that someone was thinking of her.
Entering the living room of the Ren family, Gu Jiaojiao hurriedly walked forward and took Mr. Ren's arm and said, "Grandpa, you should have eaten. I will come over to help you with the operation."
Old Master Ren smiled lovingly and said, "Jiaojiao, Grandpa has prepared everything, but I'm very scared. Jiaojiao, can you not have the surgery yet?"
"Don't be afraid, Grandpa. My wife said she'll give you a local anesthetic. It won't hurt at all. I'll give you a toolbox."
After Su Shuoci finished speaking, he immediately handed over the medical kit on his wheelchair and quickly helped Mr. Ren perform the operation. They were about to prepare to go to the imperial capital.
A bodyguard immediately stepped forward and took it respectfully. The Ren family had two bodyguards to take care of Mr. Ren.
There was also a middle-aged woman who cooked and cleaned. As soon as Su Shuoci and the others came in, she served them tea and snacks.
It was obvious that Mr. Ren and the others had been prepared for a long time and had been waiting for them.
Gu Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "I won't drink tea yet. I'll prepare for the surgery right away. This operation will take at least two hours."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone around her opened their eyes wide in surprise. Old Master Ren was also stunned, "Only two hours? How is that possible!"
Gu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Grandpa, this is just a minimally invasive surgery. Besides, Brother Shuoci has equipped me with advanced surgical equipment. Two hours is the maximum estimated time."
Grandpa Ren looked at his confident granddaughter and said hesitantly, "I'm not afraid of how long it will take, but I just want to know if..."
Gu Jiaojiao was too lazy to talk any more, so she took out the needle and gave Mr. Ren an injection of local anesthesia.
The anesthesia will take twenty minutes before the operation begins. "Grandpa, do you have something to say to me?"
Old Master Ren bit his lip and said, "Jiaojiao, Grandpa has something to tell you."
Gu Jiaojiao turned around and asked doubtfully, "What are you talking about? Just say it if you have something to say."
She looked at Mr. Ren seriously, and intuitively felt that what the old man was about to say was not good.
"Jiaojiao... Grandpa is sorry for you. Your mother... your adoptive mother is on her way back. Grandpa doesn't want to perform the surgery today. I'm afraid she..."
"Grandpa...who are you worried about?" Gu Jiaojiao leaned over and asked Grandpa Ren.
"Jiaojiao, grandpa is worried about you. If grandpa hadn't performed the surgery yet, he could have hit her with a broom..."
"Your words are enough. Actually, I am not afraid of Ren Cuiping. It's just that I didn't argue with her directly because of her kindness in raising me.
Although the Sheng family unilaterally severed ties with me, the fact is that they raised me, so I will give them a few chances.
If Ren Cuiping scolds me in person again, I will no longer be humble. In fact, Jiaojiao has already repaid their kindness in raising me.
There is a saying: If you don’t have the strength of a lion, then put away the heart of a bodhisattva.
After all, most people won't appreciate your kindness, but will only think you're incompetent."
The weakness of human nature that cannot stand seeing others doing well is particularly evident among the poor.
When the rich manipulate the poor, they are also good at taking advantage of this human weakness. Gu Jiaojiao understands this too well.
Gu Jiaojiao has been self-reliant in both of her lives. She would rather be let down by others than owe others anything for fear of not being able to pay it back.
When Su Shuoci saw his wife was unhappy, he always supported her: "My wife is so generous. No one thinks you are a coward."
"Yes, Shuo Ci is right. Grandpa is just afraid that you will be wronged. Ren Cuiping is just like the moon. She has gone crazy."
Old Master Ren said with concern that his two sons had been troubled by their daughter's nagging recently.
His eldest son even told him on the phone that it was no wonder his brother-in-law wanted a divorce. If he didn't divorce, he would definitely go crazy one day...
Seeing that the anesthetic had taken effect, Gu Jiaojiao picked up the scalpel and ignored Mr. Ren's wild ideas.
Su Shuoci and Mr. Ren's two bodyguards were helping out, as this was not a major operation.
Gu Jiaojiao did it very skillfully, and the sound of cutting flesh interrupted Mr. Ren's thoughts.
When he looked up, he saw that his granddaughter's face was serious. What a good girl!
Why isn’t she his biological granddaughter?
The operation was completed quickly. While the bandage was being applied, an angry roar was heard from the living room door.
