Chapter 165
Xia Ruoan was helpless as she looked at the hung up phone. She wanted him not to come over.
Leng Zexi seemed to have not heard anything and was already packing up to come over. Xia Ruoan was helpless when she heard Leng Zexi ignore the housekeeper's attempts to stop her before hanging up the phone.
Mu Shen said jokingly, "What's the matter? Is he really planning to catch up with you? I don't believe it. Can I kidnap you?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Xia Ruo'an's face. He nodded gently and replied in a low voice: "He...he is just worried about my physical examination and wants to accompany me to see it."
Mu Shen couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Humph, it seems that the last time I hit him too lightly."
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an couldn't help but frowned and said helplessly: "Brother, you hit me too hard this time. I feel pain just by looking at it."
But Mu Shen seemed to have no regrets about this. Instead, he confidently retorted, "If he hadn't happened to save your life, I would have beaten him even harder for taking you to get a marriage certificate without your permission!"
"My brother-in-law can't even bear this. I would rather you divorce him and let me help you raise the children than let you live with him and suffer any grievances!"
"The Leng family is indeed extremely powerful, but your brothers are equally outstanding. If we really want to confront the Leng family, we may have a chance of winning." Mu Shen turned his gaze to her and said slowly.
Xia Ruoan's mind raced as he recalled the identities and status his brothers currently held, which were indeed extraordinary.
"Brother, am I particularly incompetent? I still make you worry about me." Xia Ruoan murmured in a low voice with a guilty look on his face.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Our Ruo Enke is amazing, but everyone has their own areas of expertise.
Take me for example. I am good at curing illnesses and saving lives, but if you ask me to grow flowers and plants, there is absolutely no chance. I would probably kill even the most tenacious cactus. "Mu Shen chuckled and comforted him.
Xia Ruo'an couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this: "Haha, that's right, this is the first time I've met someone who can't even keep a cactus alive."
"You actually dare to laugh at me, your elder brother." Mu Shen said with a chuckle, and he felt relieved to see her finally smile.
At this moment, Leng Zexi hurried over and saw Xia Ruo'an sitting alone on a bench outside the corridor. He walked up quickly and asked with concern: "Have you finished the examination? What are the results?"
Xia Ruo'an shook his head gently, slowly stood up, carefully supported him, and said softly: "I have asked my eldest brother to check on my uncle first. I will wait for you here, and then we will go for a check-up together."
Xia Ruo'an frowned slightly and responded softly: "It's really nothing serious. Didn't I tell you before not to worry too much? Why are you still so persistent in rushing over?"
Xia Ruoan stared at him, his eyes full of worry.
"But I'm always worried and anxious. And I used to be by your side every time you had a physical examination." Leng Zexi smiled, trying to comfort her.
"I'm really fine, don't worry. Although it looks like the situation is quite bad, it's just a superficial phenomenon. I can still endure this pain."
Then he added, "By the way, your father and my father have discussed it. After my eldest brother and his family come back, our two families will have a meal together tomorrow night to formalize our relationship."
"And I decided to let my eldest brother and the others take better care of you in the future, so we won't see each other for the time being before we get married. But I'm just worried, and I always want to take care of you in person."
At this point, Leng Zexi paused and continued to analyze: "If I hadn't come to see you today, your eldest brother would probably take you back to the Ou family later, and then I'm afraid he wouldn't even let me in through the door of the Ou family."
Hearing this, Xia Ruoan's eyes flashed with guilt, because her brother did say the same thing to her when they got off the car.
"You are quite self-aware. If you don't come, I will never let you see Ruoan before the wedding."
Mu Shen's deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded behind them.
It was like a bolt of thunder that broke through the quiet air, causing one's heart to tremble.
"Brother!" Leng Zexi turned around suddenly and looked at Mu Shen with surprise.
Obviously, he had never expected that he would appear here so coincidentally when they were talking about Mu Shen. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward and subtle.
"Come in." Mu Shen glanced at Leng Zexi calmly, with a hint of dissatisfaction and blame in his eyes, but more of helplessness. After saying this, he turned and walked into the room.
Xia Ruoan quickly reached out to help Leng Zexi up, and the two of them carefully followed Mu Shen in.
After entering the room, Xia Ruo'an asked with a worried look on his face: "Brother, how is Uncle Grandpa doing? Has he gone back?"
Her eyes were fixed on Mu Shen, eager to get a definite answer.
Mu Shen frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied, "My uncle has an old illness, and he is always worried, so his health is getting worse. In the next period of time, I will take good care of him myself, and I also need to let Dad spend more time with him."
At the end, Mu Shen couldn't help but sigh softly. After learning from Lin Cai what happened between his father and his uncle, he was also filled with emotion.
All I can say is that things in this world are unpredictable and fate always likes to play tricks on us.
Hearing Mu Shen say this, Xia Ruo'an breathed a sigh of relief, but then said with difficulty: "Okay, big brother. But... it's okay for us to take care of uncle, but I'm really worried about Sister Ling'er's condition."
"I wonder if you know any doctors who are good at treating cancer? If we can find an expert to check Sister Ling'er, maybe she still has a chance of survival."
As she spoke, Xia Ruoan's eyes turned red involuntarily and tears welled up in her eyes.
"As for Zhou Ling'er's situation, I can only say that you should be mentally prepared. There is no hope and it's too late." Mu Shen had already read Zhou Ling'er's latest examination report that Xia Ruoan sent him.
There was nothing he could do.
"If she had come to me five years ago, I would have been able to perform the surgery. Now, not only can I not perform the surgery, but she may not even be able to bear it." Mu Shen could only feel regretful.
"Really? If I had told Brother Ouyang earlier about Sister Ling'er's injured hand, wouldn't he have missed it when he went to look for her? If he had found you then, you would have been saved." Xia Ruoan thought sadly.
"Why didn't I tell him earlier?" Xia Ruoan felt guilty.
"Everyone has their own destiny. If Zhou Ling'er had been more honest at the beginning, this wouldn't have happened. Or if Ouyang wasn't so rigid and really insisted on not meeting for seven years, they wouldn't have missed those seven years in vain. We can only say that they are destined to be together now, but it's just a short one." Mu Shen didn't want to see his sister feel guilty because of them.
"Ruoan, this has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much about it. You can't spread everything you know, or tell Ouyang that you are wrong. Don't blame yourself." Mu Shen looked at her and said.
"Ruo'an, don't put too much pressure on yourself! You have to know that they will be back soon. Regarding Zhou Ling'er's condition, I have already communicated in detail with her attending physician."
"Don't worry, when they come back, I will prepare new medicine for her, so that she can suffer less from the pain and alleviate her suffering a little."
After saying these words, Mu Shen couldn't help but sigh softly, because he knew in his heart that this was all he could do at the moment.
Just one week before Xia Ruoan's wedding, Ouyang brought Zhou Ling'er back to China, along with Zhou Ling'er's mother.
As soon as they came back, they quickly completed all the procedures for Zhou Ling'er's transfer to another hospital. After that, Mu Shen became the attending physician responsible for taking care of Zhou Ling'er's follow-up treatment.
In fact, long before that, when Xia Ruoan saw Zhou Ling'er's photo for the first time, he was deeply shocked in his heart.
However, when I actually saw Zhou Ling'er in person, the shock was far stronger than seeing her photo. This haggard, sick woman in front of me made me feel pity and love for her.
"Sister Ling'er, you are warmly welcome home." Xia Ruoan tried hard to force a smile and said softly.
"An An, you can't call me sister anymore. You have to call me sister-in-law instead." Zhong Yanyan, who was standing aside, looked at her daughter and reminded her gently.
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an's heart trembled violently, but he still pretended to be calm and cast his eyes on the shaved-headed Senior Brother Ouyang, with a smile on his face. With some difficulty, he shouted to Zhou Ling'er: "Sister-in-law..."
"Ruoan, thank you for not looking down on me and letting me play the violin at your wedding. I haven't played the violin for a long time." Zhou Ling'er looked at Xia Ruoan gratefully and said.
Zhou Ling'er said worriedly, "I am very worried. I am worried that I will mess it up. After all, it is your wedding, and it only happens once in a lifetime."
"It's because this life only comes once that I hope to get your blessing. Don't worry, if we can, we will go on stage. If not, we will stop. It's okay not to play. I will be satisfied if you can come back." Xia Ruoan comforted.
Zhou Ling'er held Xia Ruo'an's hand and said, "That should be my last time to perform on stage, and I promised you at the beginning, I want to give it a try."
