Chapter 222: Human joys and sorrows are not shared.
After Mu Qin finished her treatment, she and Xie Zheng waited for their car outside with her medicine.
They witnessed what just happened at Jishengtang.
Mu Qin was unaware of the past conflict between Wang Shufen and Bai Zhi.
She had just heard Bai Zhi say that Wang Shufen's condition was quite serious and required a consultation.
What she didn't understand was why Wang Shufen insisted on having Doctor Ye treat her right now, even though Bai Zhi had said so.
Since they're already this sick, there's no need to rush things.
She herself is a patient, and she understands the principle that curing illness is like pulling silk from a cocoon.
As an adult, Wang Shufen's temperament is far too impatient.
Knowing the inside story, Xie Zheng couldn't stand it anymore when he heard Wang Shufen still complaining and criticizing Bai Zhi for fobbing her off. He looked at Wang Shufen sarcastically and said, "Aunt Wang, I've told you to be nicer to Bai Zhi and not to always make things difficult for a girl like her, but you had to be so mean. Now you need my help, don't you?"
"What's it to you?" Wang Shufen frowned and glared at Xie Zheng.
When that guy helped her up just now, he seemed quite helpful.
As a relative, Wang Shufen also praised him.
Who knew he would revert to his usual annoying self?
Xie Zheng shrugged and smiled, "Of course it has nothing to do with me. The illness is on you, not me."
"Be more low-key in the future. Leave some room for maneuver in others, so you can meet again in the future. Before, you looked down on girls from the countryside because you were a rich city lady. You even wanted to give your niece to Lu Ye. Your niece is so good, why don't you let your niece treat your illness?"
Xie Zheng thought of what Wang Shufen had done to Bai Zhi, and felt that Bai Zhi deserved her current disheveled state.
Xie Zheng was lecturing Wang Shufen, and Lu Ya, as her daughter, naturally couldn't stand it.
Even if her mother has many faults, she shouldn't be criticized by an outsider.
Besides, Xie Zheng is a junior.
"Brother Xie Zheng, if I heard correctly, it seems you were also refused treatment. I heard that Doctor Ye added you to his blacklist."
Although she didn't know exactly what problems Xie Zheng had that required treatment.
Looking at him like this, he seems quite dignified and proper, which is perfectly normal.
Xie Zheng, "!!!"
You misheard me.
Xie Zheng touched his nose, trying to make amends, "What's my relationship with Grandpa Ye? We're close friends despite the age gap. He just jokes with me occasionally. I haven't offended them, so why would they put me on their blacklist?"
He made no mention of the embarrassing incident where he was brutally beaten by Bai Zhi.
How could Xie Zheng, who is known for his sharp tongue and irritating manner, possibly lose in a verbal battle?
He looked at Wang Shufen and sighed, "I think he already politely declined your request. Grandpa Ye can't possibly treat your illness."
Xie Zheng's words made Wang Shufen's emotions, which had just calmed down, become agitated again.
"No one would think you're mute if you didn't speak. I respectfully called you 'brother,' but you're adding fuel to the fire and provoking my mother. What exactly are you trying to do?" Lu Ya kicked Xie Zheng in anger.
But Xie Zheng quickly dodged it.
“Lu Ya, I’m not adding fuel to the fire, I’m just telling the truth. When you’re not home, ask your mother what she did to Bai Zhi. If it were you, you wouldn’t have taken the case either.”
Xie Zheng's words made Wang Shufen lower her eyes in shame.
He looked regretful.
Lu Ya also frowned, looking at her mother with resentment.
Although she did not witness it herself, she probably heard about her mother's actions from her father, brother, and grandfather.
Her mother went to great lengths to introduce her cousin to her brother.
Later, her mother and Wang Tingting even conspired to frame Bai Zhi.
Wang Tingting has been sent to detention.
It must be said that if she were Bai Zhi, she wouldn't take on a patient like that either.
But this person just happens to be her mother; everyone has selfish motives.
Now all their hopes are pinned on Doctor Ye. If Doctor Ye and Bai Zhi really refuse to treat her mother, then not only will her mother have to suffer from the pain, but she will also be tied down and unable to leave the house.
Her boyfriend had asked her out so many times, but she hadn't had time because she was taking care of her mother.
Li Wei said that if they didn't meet today, he would break up with her.
Li Wei is her life; she can't live without him.
Lu Ya was extremely anxious and pretended to glance at her watch again.
She said to Wang Shufen, "Mom, go home first. My cousin and his wife will definitely come to our house after they get off work. They will treat your illness then."
Now that things have come to this, no matter how disappointed or regretful Wang Shufen is, it's all in vain.
Lu Ya could only take him home.
...
When they arrived home, Lu Ye had already brought his grandfather and maternal grandfather back.
Lu Ye told the old man that Ye Rufeng had agreed to the marriage, and the two old people burst into hearty laughter out of joy.
Wang Shufen was already upset because she couldn't see a doctor, and hearing laughter from home made her even more irritable.
Indeed, human joys and sorrows are not shared.
Even her family wouldn't empathize with her pain.
Lu Ya helped Wang Shufen inside. When Old Lu saw the mother and daughter return, he asked with concern, "Xiao Ya, where did you and your mother go? She has difficulty walking, so she shouldn't walk around too much, otherwise it will worsen her condition."
Lu Ya replied, "Grandpa, I took my mom to Jishengtang to queue up for her medical treatment."
Upon hearing this, Old Lu simply said "Oh".
His expression was knowing.
It turns out they went to find Elder Ye and Bai Zhi.
"Did you find anything you like?" Old Master Lu's eyes lit up as he looked at Lu Ya and asked eagerly.
When Old Master Ye refused to treat Wang Shufen last time, he didn't think much of it. His second son was rich and powerful, and he could just take his wife to another hospital for treatment.
Wang Shufen had done things that wronged Bai Zhi, so it's understandable that Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi refused to treat her.
In order not to upset Bai Zhi, they, as elders, never put any pressure on her.
But later, as Wang Shufen sought medical treatment everywhere without improvement, and her condition even worsened, with difficulty bending and straightening her knees and deformed finger joints, Lu Shan said that her second aunt's condition remained in an active phase and could not be controlled.
If this continues, there is a risk of paralysis.
If various indicators remain elevated for a long period, it indicates inflammation in the body, which can also damage other organs and systems.
Hearing this news, Old Lu has been very worried lately.
It seems that Western medicine has no good solutions for Wang Shufen's condition.
This is definitely not a problem that money can solve.
Now that Wang Shufen had gone to Jishengtang, Old Master Lu was very curious about the outcome of her medical examination.
"I couldn't get a chance." Wang Shufen looked worried and began to wail as she looked at Old Master Lu and Lu Ye. "Dad, Bai Zhi won't treat me. I apologized to her and admitted my mistake, but she just won't take on the case. What should I do?"
This result seemed to be within Mr. Lu's expectations.
He didn't say much, and Wang Shufen looked at Lu Ye for help again, "Lu Ye, can you say something nice to your girlfriend? She'll definitely listen to you. We're family, I'm your aunt. Don't be so heartless, please help me."
Wang Shufen wailed, "I really know I was wrong."
Seeing Wang Shufen's loss of composure, Old Master Lu subconsciously glanced at his in-law, Old Master Xie.
His expression hardened slightly.
Lu Ye sat there calmly and composedly. "Second Aunt, Xiao Bai is a professional doctor. Whatever decision she makes, she has her reasons. I don't understand medicine, so I can't interfere with her work."
Old Xie nodded in agreement, "Xiao Ye is right. Outsiders should not meddle in the affairs of doctors."
