Chapter 125 Are you questioning me?
Xie Nanzhi's face was pale, and her thin body swayed suddenly. She subconsciously grabbed the snow-white wall on one side.
After a long pause, Xie Nanzhi asked in a low voice, "Is the surgery risky?"
The doctor nodded. "The surgery is very risky, and our hospital's doctors are not capable of performing it. If you want to minimize the risks, it would be best to ask Dr. Fu to come out of retirement. However, as far as I know, he hasn't been in surgery since his early retirement, but you can give it a try."
Xie Nanzhi was unfamiliar with medical matters, so she immediately called Xibei.
Xie Nanzhi inquired about Dr. Fu and learned from Xi Bei that Dr. Fu was a leading figure in the medical field. However, after his wife fell seriously ill five years ago, he resigned to take care of her wholeheartedly. Over the years, many people have asked him to come out of retirement, but they have not been able to persuade him.
Xibei felt that the chances of getting Dr. Fu to perform the surgery were too slim.
Xie Nanzhi's face was very serious. "But I still want to give it a try."
Xibei sighed, "I knew you wouldn't give up easily. Here, I'll find out where Dr. Fu is staying now. Wait for my news."
Xie Nanzhi: "Okay."
Xibei acted quickly, finding out where Dr. Fu lived in about ten minutes.
Upon seeing the address sent by Xibei, Xie Nanzhi's brows furrowed.
The capital city.
Is Dr. Fu living in Beijing?
Xie Nanzhi pursed her lips, then picked up her phone and booked a flight to Beijing.
The flight was in the evening, so Xie Nanzhi hired a caregiver for Grandma Xie and asked Wang Shufen to help take care of her. By the time they finished, it was already afternoon.
Xie Nanzhi told Grandma Xie that she was going on a business trip and would be back in a few days.
Grandma Xie smiled and said, "You can go ahead and do your work without worrying about me. Besides, I'm fine with your mother keeping me company."
Xie Nanzhi didn't tell anyone about the growth in her brain, not even Wang Shufen knew.
After returning home from the hospital, Xie Nanzhi packed a few clothes, dragged her suitcase, and left. However, before leaving, she still made a phone call to Xie Yuanyang.
I wonder if it was because Xie Nanzhi came to his rescue at the Water and Sky Inn last time that Xie Yuanyang's attitude towards her changed.
Xie Yuanyang's voice was groggy, perhaps he had been woken from his sleep, "Nanzhi, is something wrong?"
It had been a long time since she had heard him call her Nanzhi. Since she was eighteen, Xie Yuanyang had always called her by her full name.
Getting back to the main point, "Did you know that Grandma is in the hospital?"
Xie Yuanyang's voice suddenly became clear, "Grandmother is in the hospital? I didn't know that."
Xie Nanzhi recounted the events of the day at the sanatorium to him, concluding with a reminder, "Xie Yuanyang, if you don't want anything to happen to Grandma, keep an eye on Luo Meijuan and don't let her run around like a mad dog. You know my personality; if Luo Meijuan tries to provoke Grandma again, don't blame me. Also, tell Luo Meijuan that Xie Wanli didn't leave Grandma a single penny, so she'll give up on that idea."
Xie Wanli maintains a facade of hypocrisy, but deep down he is an extremely selfish person.
For him, his grandmother may have a place in his heart, but he thinks of himself first.
He didn't leave Old Madam Xie a single penny, presumably because he knew that Xie Nanzhi wouldn't abandon her to her fate.
Xie Yuanyang's face turned ugly. "Okay, I understand."
After ending the call, Xie Yuanyang got up early, changed his clothes, and went to find Luo Meijuan.
At this moment, Luo Meijuan was picking out clothes, but she had worn all of them in the closet. In fact, she hadn't bought any new clothes for a month. She had never suffered such grievances before.
She tossed her brand-new designer clothes aside, in a terrible mood. Just as Luo Meijuan was seething with anger, the door opened.
When Luo Meijuan saw Xie Yuanyang, she said indifferently, "It's almost time for work, what brings you here?"
Xie Yuanyang walked forward with a dark face. He sat down in a sullen voice and paused for a moment before asking, "Mom, did you go to Grandma's to ask for money today?"
Feeling guilty, Luo Meijuan rolled her eyes around. "I'm her daughter-in-law, look at her, she's right."
Xie Yuanyang's eyes darkened. "Mom, are you just visiting Grandmother? Weren't you the one who asked her for money? Weren't you the one who made her so angry that she ended up in the hospital?"
Luo Meijuan stared wide-eyed, showing no remorse whatsoever. "Xie Yuanyang, are you questioning me? I'm your mother!"
"It's only because you're my mother that I can talk to you calmly. Mom, you know Grandma is old and in poor health. We can't be filial to her, so at least we shouldn't cause her any more distress."
Luo Meijuan listened, but only the first half of the sentence.
If he knew she wasn't his biological mother, would he abandon her and ignore her completely?
Luo Meijuan frowned, looking worried.
No, at least before Xie Yuanyang ignores her, she must find a way to squeeze out the last bit of value from him.
Luo Meijuan said earnestly, "Yuanyang, isn't what your mother did all this for you and Xiyan? I need to smooth things over with Xiyan, and you're not getting any younger. You'll definitely get married someday. I can ignore my illness, and even if I die from it, it doesn't matter, but I can't abandon you and your siblings. That's why I asked your grandmother for money. I didn't mean to upset her."
When Luo Meijuan softened her stance, Xie Yuanyang's anger subsided.
She did everything for the good of her and her brother. In truth, it was he who was useless, unable to provide Luo Meijuan with a good life, and unable to help with his sister's affairs.
Xie Yuanyang suddenly felt a pang of guilt and hung his head dejectedly. "Mom, I'm sorry for making you suffer. But I will do my best to give you a better life."
This simpleton has always been easily swayed since he was a child.
He always did whatever she said, and it was only because he was obedient that Luo Meijuan kept him. Otherwise, she would have found a way to get rid of him long ago.
Luo Meijuan walked up to him and gently comforted him, saying, "Mom believes in you. My son has never let me down."
Luo Meijuan smiled slyly, then suddenly changed the subject, "Yuanyang, how much money do you have left? Could you buy me a dress? I'm going to a class reunion in a few days, and I don't want them to look down on me."
Xie Yuanyang, "How much money do you need?"
Luo Meijuan was overjoyed. "Fifty thousand, I saw a dress I liked while shopping a couple of days ago."
fifty thousand?
For Xie Yuanyang in the past, 50,000 yuan was just the cost of a meal. But for Xie Yuanyang now, 50,000 yuan is hard-earned money that he might not be able to earn even if he saved every penny for a month.
Seeing that Xie Yuanyang did not agree immediately, Luo Meijuan compromised, "Forty thousand is fine too."
Xie Yuanyang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mom, I only have a little over ten thousand on me."
What a useless piece of trash.
Other men can earn tens of thousands of dollars a night working as male models in nightclubs, so why does he only earn so little?
What a waste of that face.
Luo Meijuan thought to herself, but having ten thousand was better than having none at all.
"Then give me as much as you have."
Xie Yuanyang nodded, and after transferring 18,000 yuan to Luo Meijuan, he only had 100 yuan left in his card for travel expenses.
But as long as my family is doing well, it's all worth it.
