Chapter 904 Incurable Disease
Sensing the impending crisis, Feng Tianyu immediately stepped forward and pulled away from Yang Shibo's hand, which was tightly gripping Ye Wanxi's. He politely declined Yang Shibo's offer to treat him to a meal as a thank you, citing their need to catch a flight, and then left with Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi was pulled forward for a while before she realized that her senior brother was... jealous?
"Senior Brother, Uncle Yang is an elder. He suddenly received this item, and it was a genuine expression of his feelings. He wasn't trying to take advantage of me." Aren't you being a little too dramatic to be jealous of an elder with half a head of white hair?
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyu gave him a disappointed look: "I'm not angry with him, I'm angry with his son."
"...What does this have to do with his son?"
Feng Tianyu sneered, "Didn't you see the look in his eyes just now? He was clearly disappointed that you had a companion so early. He even said that there was a big age gap between us. Ha, his son is a year or two younger than me, but unfortunately, he definitely won't live as long as me!"
Ye Wanxi understood immediately. Her senior brother wasn't just jealous; he was also angry that someone called him old.
Saying there's a big age gap is just a roundabout way of insulting him for being an old cow eating young grass. No wonder he's so bothered by it.
Having figured this out, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but chuckle softly, but she had to suppress her laughter and coax, "Yes, yes, how can that Mr. Yang compare to you, Senior Brother? Don't be fooled by the fact that he's two years younger than you now. When everyone is in their fifties or sixties, he'll have wrinkles and gray hair, while Senior Brother will still be as young and handsome as he is now."
Feng Tianyu's face flushed as Ye Wanxi spoke, but his anger dissipated almost completely, as if a bucket of water had been poured over his head.
Ye Wanxi observed the change in her senior brother's expression, and took his hand, saying, "The reason we have any dealings with their family is because of you, senior brother, and the production team. Now that the show is finished filming, we probably won't have any chance to see each other again."
Feng Tianyu's eyes flickered slightly. Indeed, the main reason why the Yang family had any dealings with Ye Wanxi was because of him as the intermediary.
If Yang Shibo really had any ulterior motives, they would definitely not be able to bypass him. He had plenty of ways to nip the threat in the bud.
Realizing this, Feng Tianyu finally stopped being angry.
Just as the two finished their several-day trip and finally returned to City A, an urgent phone call suddenly came in.
"Miss Qiu?"
"Ms. Ye! You finally answered the phone!"
Ye Wanxi sensed the surprise and urgency in the other person's tone, and her brows furrowed slightly: "Miss Qiu, you're in such a hurry to see me? Is there something wrong with the ointment?"
"No, no, no, the ointment is fine." Qiu Linshan hurriedly explained when she heard Ye Wanxi ask this, "I'm recovering very well, I couldn't be better!"
"In that case, Miss Qiu, you've come to see me..."
Since it concerned her family and friends, Qiu Linshan didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Miss Ye, I'm here to ask you for help to save a life!"
"Help? What happened? Tell me in detail."
"Here's the thing, I have a cousin who's 22 years old this year. He used to be very healthy. But in the last two months, he suddenly became weak and sickly. At first, his family didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just the flu caused by the change in weather and that he would get better after taking some medicine. But after taking a lot of medicine, he didn't get better; instead, he got even sicker."
"At first, I just had a runny nose and cough, then I started to have a fever... After taking medicine and getting injections and IV drips, nothing worked. I went to the hospital for tests and all my indicators were normal. They said it was just a cold. But I just kept getting weaker and weaker. In just two months, I've become skin and bones."
Qiu Linshan's cousin is from her uncle's family. The two families usually have a good relationship and visit each other quite often.
Initially, her cousin's situation didn't really attract the attention of the elders. It wasn't until he was hospitalized that Qiu Linshan's aunt became so anxious that she ran in and out of the hospital and stopped visiting their house as often.
Qiu Linshan's mother found it strange and called to ask, only to find out about Qiu Linshan's cousin.
The Qiu family did not deliberately hide the fact that Qiu Linshan's injuries were gradually improving; however, they did not publicize Ye Wanxi's condition until Qiu Linshan was fully recovered.
It is said that Aunt Qiu happened to meet an expert who was very knowledgeable about skin repair. Therefore, after Qiu Linshan's cousin fell ill, her uncle and aunt never thought of asking this expert for help.
After all, everyone has their own expertise. How could a doctor who treats skin diseases possibly treat his son's complicated illness, which resembles a cold?
However, Qiu Linshan's mother, after hearing what Qiu Linshan's aunt said, immediately thought of Qiu Linshan's previous injuries, which had been recurring. She would get injured and treated, then get injured again, and so on, in a vicious cycle that was exhausting and ultimately made her injuries worse.
Not to mention Qiu Linshan, even the parents were heartbroken watching this.
Qiu Linshan's cousin's condition doesn't sound like an illness; could it also be...?
That's why Qiu Linshan made this phone call: "Two days ago, my cousin's condition worsened again, and he was admitted to the intensive care unit. I wanted to ask Ms. Ye to help him, but I couldn't get through on the phone. Just this evening, my cousin received another critical condition notice. My aunt fainted on the spot from crying, and my parents are at the hospital with him right now. We really have no other choice, so I thought of asking you to come here."
After hearing Qiu Linshan's explanation, Ye Wanxi's eyes darkened slightly, and she immediately asked, "We're at the airport now, just got off the plane. Where is your cousin?"
When Qiu Linshan heard Ye Wanxi ask for the address, she knew there was hope and her spirits immediately lifted: "We are at Shi's Hospital now, which is about half an hour away from the airport. Do you need us to come and pick you up?"
Shi's Hospital? Ye Wanxi and the other woman's eyes widened suddenly as they looked at each other. What a coincidence! It was actually Shi Lang's family hospital.
"No need, it would take too much time to go back and forth. We'll go now and wait five minutes."
"Okay." Qiu Linshan didn't ask why the journey, which should have taken half an hour, had become only five minutes when she arrived at Ye Wanxi's place.
At times like these, the sooner they arrive, the better.
Five minutes later, Ye Wanxi and her companion arrived at the Shi family's hospital on time, where they were personally greeted by Shi Lang.
The moment Feng Tianyu saw him, the corner of his mouth twitched: "What are you doing here today?"
The Shi family hospitals are located in various provinces and cities, with three or four in City A alone. This is just a small branch, so Shi Lang shouldn't be practicing here.
Shi Lang beamed with pride, his eyes brimming with undisguised excitement: "What a coincidence! I was invited to this branch hospital for an exchange and learning session today, and as soon as I received your call, I rushed over immediately. Aren't you kind of me? Which ward are you in? I'll take you there right now."
Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu: "..." Don't think we can't see it, you just want to watch the show!
