"Yes, Xiao Shi should be arriving in Beijing soon."

"Then hurry up and call a doctor to our house. Tell them that my old woman's blood pressure has skyrocketed because of that daughter-in-law from the Zhang family, and even the antihypertensive medication isn't helping."

Will this work?

"Whether it works or not, do as your mother says first. If it still doesn't work, then we'll go to the hospital in the middle of the night and go directly to the military hospital."

I refuse to believe that either those in power or those below can sleep soundly.

"Okay! We'll do it your way. I'll make the call right now."

This whole thing is really interesting now. Let's see who's more shameless!

Since we don't care anyway, what's there to be afraid of?

"What's going on? The old man from the Zhang family was just taken away by an ambulance, and now the Shen family's family doctor has arrived, and he's even wearing a military uniform. Could it be that something happened to Old Master Shen too?!"

"It's hard to say. Although Old Master Shen has been retired for many years, he used to be a leader in the military region. Now that things have turned out like this, it will be difficult to salvage the situation."

"It's true, the Zhang family is really courting disaster now."

Of all people to mess with, they had to provoke the Shen family. Now look what happened! Even the doctors from the military hospital have arrived; the Xi'an Jiaotong University compound must know by now.”

"I'm afraid they already knew. Didn't you see that Shen Xi hasn't been to work lately?"

Even though he's now retired, he still has to keep up with the work.

He hasn't been to work for several days. Do you think his company wouldn't know?

"Of course he would know! If he didn't know, how could he handle family matters at home?"

"That's true. But have you noticed that among the Zhang, Wang, and Fang families, only the Zhang family is causing trouble right now?"

When he was a child, the old man of the Zhang family left in a huff without even bothering to meet him, and now the Zhang family's daughter-in-law has come.

What exactly happened? It can't have escalated to this point just because of a few words, can it?

"To be honest, if you hadn't said that, I really wouldn't have thought about it so deeply. Does anyone know about Mom?"

"We're not members of the Zhang family, how would we know about the Zhang family's affairs?"

"Exactly, who knows what the Zhang family has done? If Shan Fan knew even a little bit, wouldn't he have told everyone already?"

"Too."

"Have the other two companies made any moves?"

"We haven't seen the other two families come out yet. Could it be that the Zhang family is here to pave the way, or what?"

"No matter what, we cannot back down on this matter."

"Yes, Dad!"

"Old Wang, what exactly is the Zhang family doing? Why don't they consult with both of us before doing anything?"

"Who knows? Tell me, if it weren't for Zhang's daughter-in-law stirring things up, and our family member who speaks without thinking, would things have gotten this bad?"

"But, Lao Fang, I've already asked Old Wang to go to the Shen family, and their reply was that they wouldn't settle and that we had to go through legal procedures. What do you suggest we do?"

The only person I can ask is him. The others are either of lower status than the Shen family, or they are people our Wang family can't get close to. Why don't you see if you can ask someone to talk to them again?

As of now, I can't tell whether the Zhang family truly wants reconciliation or not, but our Wang family genuinely wants to reconcile with the Shen family.

“We also want to, but now that the Zhang family has made another fuss, it will probably be even more difficult to reconcile than last time.”

"No matter how difficult it is, let's give it another try. Let's ignore the Zhang family and just reconcile our two families, isn't that enough?"

"That's true, alright! I'll see who I can get here, and I'll let you know later."

“Alright, the Wang family will cover the expenses for inviting people.”

"It's not a matter of whether or not to give a gift; I'm just afraid that no one will be willing to step forward."

"this?"

"To be honest, Lao Wang, I heard on my way here that the Shen family has even brought their family doctor to their home."

"What! The old man from the Zhang family was just taken away by the ambulance, and the Shen family has already invited a doctor to their home. Is this a real illness, or are they just trying to start a fight?"

"I don't know. Whether it's a real illness or a competition, all I know is that this matter is no longer just between a few women, but has escalated into a family issue."

"If that's the case, then no matter who it is, they probably wouldn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, even if the Shen family doesn't have many powerful people now, they're not someone that anyone can bully."

After all, the number of people holding high positions under Old Master Shen is not something that can be counted on one hand.

"That's true. And even if the Shen family doesn't say it, we probably can't beat them just by their children."

"It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

"How could it not be? Let's not talk about the others for now, just take the Shen family's daughter, Shen Nan. Don't be fooled by the fact that she's retired, she's still working at the military hospital and even mentoring students."

She didn't even need to get involved; her students did all the work.

"You mean, Old Zhang?"

“That’s right. No matter which hospital Old Zhang is taken to now, as long as it’s not a fatal problem, they can do a lot of things for him.”

"But what if it's a fatal ailment? Wouldn't they, as doctors, save lives then?"

"How could that be? It is a doctor's duty to treat and save lives, but how do we know how to treat patients outside of this professional scope?"

"If it's really as you say, whether Old Zhang is truly having an attack or faking it, he'll probably suffer a lot."

"That's right."

"If that's the case, shouldn't our two families consider how to appease the Shen family?"

Even if it's just official business, we have to do it the same way.

"That's true, but I always felt that the Shen family's real intentions were not what they seemed."

What do you mean by that?

"I don't know, I just feel weird, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

"In that case, we can only wait. Given the Shen family's character, they probably won't say a word more."

“I know, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to you to discuss this. By the way, the Shen family had their maid reveal today that the Zhang family’s son is keeping mistresses outside the home.”

"The third or the fourth mistress?"

"Right? How do you think the Shen family knew about the Zhang family? Does the Zhang family really have nothing that the Shen family can use against them?"

"I don't know, but this has reminded me."

"What reminder?"

"It reminded us to quickly go back and check if anyone in the house had offended the Shen family at any other time."

If even something as secretive as the Zhang family's is known, then the Shen family probably knows perfectly well whether the Zhang family's actions are clean or not.

"You don't mean to mean..."

"I don't know, I'm just guessing. We'd better clean up what we have in our hands as soon as possible."
