Chapter 198 Why should I put up with your temper?
At this moment, Dr. Wu was no longer the aloof person he once was.
He stood in front of Liu Wang with his head drooping, looking utterly dejected.
"Go knock on the door. Be sincere when you speak. Dr. Du is a righteous person and won't hold it against you."
Dr. Wu nodded, and this time he knocked on the door more slowly.
The knocking continued, and Du Ruoxia woke up from her deep sleep once again.
She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long time without reacting.
Du Ruoxia slowly got out of bed when the knocking sounded again.
It was still very cold outside. Du Ruoxia put on her military overcoat and walked to the door with her hair all messy.
Who is it?
Du Ruoxia shouted as she opened the door.
The moment the door opened, I could see Dr. Wu standing anxiously at the entrance of the courtyard from a distance.
The two were separated by a courtyard, so they could be said to be looking at each other from afar.
Du Ruoxia gave Dr. Wu a cold look and asked in an icy tone.
"Dr. Wu didn't go to treat so many wounded soldiers, but instead came to my door. It seems that Dr. Wu's medical skills are really superb. He solved the problem so quickly. I really admire him."
Du Ruoxia's unfocused gaze finally came into focus.
She curled her lips into a slight, cold smile, and her mocking words made Dr. Wu's face turn pale and then red.
If it were someone with his old temper, he would have already started arguing back.
But now that he needs someone's help, his imposing manner has weakened considerably.
"Dr. Du, could you please open the door? I'd like to talk to you about something."
Dr. Wu lowered his posture and softened his tone.
Du Ruoxia glanced at him sideways and said with a disdainful look.
"Dr. Wu's medical skills are superb. I'm just a young girl in my early twenties. How dare I speak to you?"
"Dr. Wu doesn't think much of me, and I happen to be the kind of person who doesn't like to make a fool of myself, so I have nothing to say to you."
As soon as Du Ruoxia finished speaking, she was about to close the door when Dr. Wu, in a moment of panic, climbed over the fence and entered the yard.
Dr. Wu rushed to Du Ruoxia in a great hurry.
He stuck his foot into the door crack, preventing Du Ruoxia from closing it.
Du Ruoxia didn't close the door, and her temper flared up instantly.
"Dr. Wu, do you know what you're doing? This trespassing is something I can report to the authorities, and you'll definitely be punished!"
Du Ruoxia opened the door a crack, looked at Dr. Wu with a cold face, and spoke in a cold and emotionless manner.
"Dr. Du, I'm in trouble. I hope you can help me."
"How could someone as incompetent as me be qualified to help you? You should find someone more capable."
Du Ruoxia was never a good-tempered person, so she wouldn't give him a friendly look either.
Du Ruoxia remembered every word Dr. Wu said.
Now that he had found the opportunity to retaliate, Dr. Wu looked terrible, but he had no way out.
"Dr. Du, it was wrong of me to look down on you before. I've come to apologize to you now."
"Apologize? I don't need it. In fact, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to get out of this mess."
"I've been exhausted lately, and I felt so good after taking a nap this afternoon. If you guys hadn't come and made so much noise, I would have felt even better."
Du Ruoxia's words were very harsh, and Dr. Wu looked somewhat embarrassed, but dared not refute her.
"It was my fault before. I judged people by their appearance and failed to recognize their true worth."
Dr. Wu has never humbled himself before anyone in his entire life.
Even Liu Wang, sitting in a wheelchair, had an incredulous look on his face.
He truly hadn't expected that Dr. Wu would go to such lengths to apologize.
It seems that he has truly realized his problem this time, which is why he has lowered his stance.
Liu Wang had initially regretted coming with him, but now he felt relieved.
"You can curse whenever you want, and apologize whenever you want. Do you think I'll accept your apology? Why should I?"
Du Ruoxia wasn't being pretentious when she said these things; that's what she truly felt.
Dr. Wu originally thought that as long as he apologized, the matter would be resolved quickly.
Unexpectedly, Du Ruoxia was completely unyielding, and he had no way to deal with her.
The thought of the consequences he would face if he couldn't persuade Du Ruoxia to come back made him feel uneasy.
Dr. Wu gritted his teeth and bent his knees to kneel down.
Du Ruoxia reacted quickly, grabbing his shoulder and pushing Dr. Wu to the ground.
"Weren't you so capable before? Why can't you do it now?"
"A man's knees are worth gold. You're a military doctor, yet you keep kneeling down. Don't you have any shame?"
"You're shameless. You wanted me to leave as soon as you came back. You seemed pretty capable."
"You think you have any pride? You came back to apologize to me just two hours later, and now you want to do it in front of me."
"Dr. Wu, I don't understand you anymore. How can you be so shameless?"
Du Ruoxia gave Dr. Wu a good scolding.
Dr. Wu is over forty years old, about the same age as Du Ruoxia's father.
As a military doctor with over 20 years of experience, Du Ruoxia should have respected him greatly.
But he insisted on creating trouble for himself.
He was so tough back then, but now he's coming to me all humble and subservient. He's just making things difficult for himself.
"Yes, I was shameless. What I did before was wrong. I sincerely apologize to you and hope you can forgive me for the sake of the soldiers."
"If I forgive you just because you ask me to, how embarrassing would that be?"
Du Ruoxia snorted coldly, still giving him a cold look.
Dr. Wu looked extremely pale and felt a sense of despair.
However, Du Ruoxia quickly added another sentence.
"unless……"
Dr. Wu immediately got up from the ground, his chest burning with hope.
"You want me to help you go back to see a doctor, right?"
"Yes, my medical skills are not good, and I am not a good person either. I accidentally offended the soldiers, and now they are unwilling to let me treat them, but they trust you very much."
"So I hope you can go back and treat their illnesses, and also do some ideological work with them."
Dr. Wu sincerely expressed his request.
"But why should I do something that brings me no money, no salary, no credit, and no benefits?"
Du Ruoxia brought up the topic of interests directly, and Dr. Wu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"What does Dr. Du mean by that?"
"Don't you understand? I've studied medicine for so many years, not to do charity."
"I also need to live, I need to eat, drink, poop, buy this and that, I also have parents and family to support, and if I work too hard and get sick, I need to take care of my body."
"You military doctors get paid for treating patients, but I get nothing and still have to put up with your attitude. Why should I?"
Du Ruoxia's rapid-fire words made Dr. Wu very embarrassed.
"What do you want me to do to get your help?"
"It's simple, just pay up."
Seeing the pained expression on Dr. Wu's face, Du Ruoxia thought to herself that he was actually a money-grubber.
The most effective way to deal with a money-grubber is, of course, to make him bleed.
If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll probably continue to be so arrogant.
