Chapter 233
"I never thought that this mysterious person is actually your elder brother, Mu Shen!" Shangguan Lan said with surprise.
She thought to herself that Xia Ruoan shouldn't deceive herself with such a thing, after all, it would not do any good.
"Okay. Then I'll talk to my eldest brother first, and then you can go directly to the hospital to find him, okay?" Xia Ruoan nodded, and his eyes fell on Shangguan Lan again, asking for her opinion.
At the same time, she was a little worried. Her eldest brother was indeed very busy recently. She had heard from her third brother before that her eldest brother had been staying in the hospital almost all the time these days, and she didn't know if he had time to help with the medical treatment.
"No problem, we can go directly to the hospital when the time comes. Please help us ask when he is free, that's all." The Zhao family had previously asked someone to help inquire about this matter.
The person they initially looked for was the Chinese medicine doctor in the hospital where Mu Shen worked, and because of some connections, they were able to find out that Mu Shen was the most skilled Chinese medicine doctor in the hospital.
However, it's not that they didn't go to inquire, but it was really difficult to see Mu Shen. Therefore, they had to ask Xia Ruo'an for help.
"The reason why we wanted to find your elder brother so much was because he was strongly recommended by the Chinese medicine doctor in the hospital where he worked."
"Chang'an, he has many allergens, and several of them happen to be the ingredients of the medicinal materials prescribed by other Chinese medicine practitioners. Because of this, my Chang'an's current physical condition is still relatively weak."
Shangguan Lan looked at his daughter with a face full of pity and spoke softly.
"But I'm not sure whether he is free at the moment. I'll send him a message to ask first, and I'll try to get the exact meeting time for you today." After saying that, Xia Ruoan quickly opened WeChat and sent a message to Mu Shen.
Unexpectedly, Mu Shen called without saying a word.
Mu Shen's cold and low voice came slowly from the other side: "An An, what do you want to talk to me about?"
You know, if it wasn't for something particularly important, Ruoan would generally not choose to send a message to Mu Shen at such a time.
After hearing Mu Shen's question, Ruo An hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "Brother, um... are you available to answer my call now?"
"If you are busy with work right now and it is inconvenient for us to talk on the phone, then I will text you the situation and you can take a look at it when you are free, is that okay?" Her tone was full of uncertainty and a little bit of uneasiness.
Just then, Mu Shen looked up and happened to see his assistant walking towards him with a report in his hand.
He gestured to his assistant, took the report, and waved him to leave for the time being.
Then, he responded to Ruoan on the other end of the phone: "Well, just tell me, what's the matter?"
After receiving Mu Shen's affirmative answer, Ruo An finally mustered up the courage to continue speaking: "I just want to ask you, when will you be free tomorrow? Can you help me look after a child?"
"This child is less than two years old and was born prematurely. He has always been weak, mainly because he has a lot of allergens."
"So I thought of asking you, an expert, to help me see how I should regulate her body so that she can get better slowly." After saying these words, Ruoan seemed to be relieved and waited quietly for Mu Shen's answer.
After hearing this, Mu Shen couldn't help but think of the three cute little guys in his family.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "So that's how it is. Then, is the child your friend's child?" In fact, Mu Shen had retired from the front line a year ago to focus on cancer research.
Mu Shen looked at tomorrow's schedule, which was all full.
"She is the daughter of one of my senior brothers. Can you spare some time tomorrow to help take care of her? The little girl is very cute, but she is rather thin, which makes me feel sorry for her."
Xia Ruoan really feels sorry for little Chang'an.
"Is it urgent? If so, please come over tomorrow night at seven. I have reserved the time from seven to nine for you."
"But, to be honest, my schedule these past two weeks has been pretty tight, so I'm pretty tight on time."
"If you can't make it tomorrow, you'll have to wait two weeks to be free." Mu Shen explained seriously as he looked down at the schedule in his hand.
At this time, Xia Ruoan was turning on the hands-free function of his mobile phone, so every word Mu Shen said on the other end of the phone was clearly heard by Zhao Han and Shangguan Lan who were present.
Xia Ruoan turned his head, glanced at the two people in turn, and asked softly: "Is the time period from seven to nine convenient for you?"
Shangguan Lan nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, sure! We will definitely bring An An to visit on time. Thank you so much, Dr. Mu!"
Mu Shen responded with a smile, saying that you're welcome, and then told them in detail the specific location where they would meet.
It turned out that the meeting was not held in the hospital, but at the research institute affiliated with the hospital.
Zhao Han hurriedly took out a pen and paper and wrote down the agreed time and the exact meeting address. He repeatedly assured Mu Shen that he would arrive at the designated location with the children on time tomorrow.
After some communication, the two sides finally successfully determined the relevant arrangements for the meeting.
However, at this moment, Xia Ruoan suddenly heard someone from Mu Shen's side reminding him that he had not eaten yet and was only eating bread to fill his stomach.
She couldn't help but frown slightly, with a worried look on her face, and asked anxiously on the phone: "Brother, did you miss your meals again? This is not good. How can your body handle it in the long run?"
His tone was full of concern and worry.
Today Mu Shen sat at his desk, concentrating on looking at the data on the computer screen.
Before I knew it, time had passed and it was already past mealtime.
However, he smiled nonchalantly and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, it's just past mealtime this time. Don't worry, it's not a big deal to miss a meal once or twice."
Xia Ruoan on the other end of the phone couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and responded worriedly: "You told me the same thing when I went to deliver clothes to you last time!"
"But if this happens again and again, one or two times added up to many times!" She really couldn't feel at ease with Mu Shen's casual attitude towards his physical health.
"Third brother, a businessman who is busy with business all day long, knows how to take care of his health better than you, a professional doctor! If it happens again, I will tell our mother directly." Xia Ruoan couldn't help but raise his voice to warn Mu Shen.
When Mu Shen heard this, he could only sigh helplessly and quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, I get it, little housekeeper, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
In fact, he knew in his heart that Xia Ruoan really cared about his health, but sometimes he really couldn't take care of that when he was working.
At this time, Xia Ruoan saw Mu Shen hung up the phone, and turned around to find Zhao Han looking at her with eyes full of gratitude.
Zhao Han said sincerely, "Thank you, Ruoan. This time, thanks to your help in contacting Mu Shen, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
"If you need any help in the future, just let me know. I'll remember this favor." As Zhao Han spoke, he once again cast a grateful look at Xia Ruoan.
Faced with Zhao Han's thanks, Xia Ruoan felt mixed emotions, most of which was deep guilt.
She thought to herself that if she had not encouraged Senior Sister Qiao to pursue Senior Brother Zhao again, perhaps so many things would not have happened later.
Chang'an almost had a miscarriage because of Qiao Xin, and even ended up with premature birth... Thinking of this, Xia Ruoan felt even more depressed.
Xia Ruoan really couldn't bear such a solemn thanks from Senior Brother Zhao.
Shangguan Lan noticed with sharp eyes that Xia Ruoan seemed to have something in her heart that she wanted to tell Zhao Han.
But at this moment, since her daughter's condition was being treated by the highly skilled Dr. Mu, the heavy weight in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she had nothing to worry about for the time being.
So Shangguan Lan smiled and said to Xia Ruoan: "Ms. Xia, thank you so much for helping us contact Dr. Mu."
"I want to take Chang'an to the mall first and buy some necessary things. I'm sure you brothers and sisters must have a lot of topics to discuss, so we won't bother you any more." After saying that, she gently held her daughter in her arms.
When Zhao Han heard this, he quickly stood up and responded, "Lan'er, I'll go with you. If there's anything you need to buy, I can go with you and buy it for you."
Then he turned to look at his wife, his eyes full of concern and inquiry.
After hearing this, Zhao Han showed a trace of apology on his face. He looked at Xia Ruoan with a little guilt and said softly: "Junior Sister Ruoan, I'm so sorry. Let's talk again when we have time."
Xia Ruoan nodded.
However, Shangguan Lan shook his head without hesitation and politely declined, "No need to trouble you. Actually, my eldest brother has been waiting for a long time in the mall across the street. I have something to discuss with him. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to be there."
As she spoke, she slightly turned sideways to avoid Zhao Han's gaze.
When Zhao Han heard this, his face stiffened a little.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the mall then." Zhao Han said with his head down.
"No need. You can go back by yourself when the time comes. I will take An An and big brother back to visit uncle and aunt. We will go back tomorrow." Shangguan Lan did not give him a chance to refuse and left directly with her daughter in her arms.
Zhao Han wanted to chase after her, but he knew that would only make her hate him even more, so he could only watch her leave.
