The next morning, as everyone in the compound began their busy day, a black sedan approached and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.
These days, even a bicycle is something to be envied, let alone a car.
The neighbors, returning from the restroom, saw the car parked in front of the door and gathered around, eager to see what was going on.
At this moment, a burly man got out of the car. He looked like a stranger and told everyone to stay away, which made the neighbors stop in their tracks, afraid that they might anger the man and be beaten up.
As the third elder of the courtyard house, Yan Bugui would naturally go forward to inquire about the situation.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"Grandpa, is there a man named Xu Damao in your courtyard? I'm here to see him."
Seeing that the burly man spoke politely and without any arrogance, Yan Bugui felt a little relieved and then asked another question.
"Can you tell me what you want to see him about?"
You can't blame Yan Bugui for speaking so abruptly. When facing a stranger, you definitely need to ask him questions first. What if he is a spy?
The burly man wasn't angry when he saw this, nor did he intend to hide anything; he simply said it directly.
"I am Boss Lou's driver. This Xu Damao is dating our young lady. Our boss is going to take him to the hospital for a check-up."
Now everyone understood and was no longer afraid, so they all gathered around.
"Jianjun, go to the backyard and call Xu Damao. Tell him someone is looking for him at the gate and to hurry up."
"Alright! Third Uncle."
Half an hour later, Xu Damao finally came out; he had even dressed up a bit.
"Brother Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I had just gotten up when you called me."
The burly man remained unmoved by Xu Damao's fawning and flattery, and simply said something indifferent.
"Let's go! Don't keep Boss Lou waiting."
"Hey hey!"
After the two got into the car, they drove towards the Lou family villa. The crowd dispersed only after the car left.
The car sped along and arrived at the Lou family villa in just a few minutes.
After Lou Bancheng and his wife got into the car, Xu Damao quickly greeted them warmly.
Good morning, Uncle and Aunt.
"Um!"
Lou Bancheng nodded and responded indifferently.
"Da Mao, don't worry about him. Today is just a routine inspection. Don't feel guilty."
Tan Yali, who had high hopes for Xu Damao, explained from the side.
"Auntie, don't worry, we can withstand the test. Just check us as you please."
Xu Damao answered confidently.
He didn't want to explain too much about this issue; whether he was a eunuch or not, the young widows were the ones who had the most say.
"Your aunt trusts you, otherwise she wouldn't have betrothed Xiao'e to you."
The two chatted for the rest of the way, but Lou Bancheng remained silent, waiting for the final result before making a decision.
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Because we had made an appointment in advance, we didn't have to wait in line.
After a series of professional examinations by the doctor, all the examinations were completed in less than an hour, and now it's just a matter of waiting.
I wasn't supposed to get the report today, but who is Lou Bancheng?
With direct financial assistance, all inspection results are available immediately, thus saving considerable waiting time.
Before 10 a.m., all the reports had been completed.
In the doctor's office, Lou Bancheng and his wife, along with Xu Damao, were all waiting anxiously.
At that moment, the chief physician walked in from outside, holding a stack of reports.
"Director Chen, what was the result?"
The two were acquaintances, so Lou Bancheng asked without any hesitation.
"Boss Lou, the situation is not very optimistic. You should be prepared."
Because he didn't know the relationship between Lou Bancheng and Xu Damao, Director Chen spoke rather tactfully. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong.
At this moment, Xu Damao no longer had the confidence he had when he first arrived; instead, he was filled with nervousness.
But no matter what, we can't panic right now. Maybe the doctor is exaggerating, and the actual problem isn't that serious.
"Director Chen, please feel free to speak freely. This is my daughter's boyfriend. We are just conducting a routine inspection."
Lou Bancheng's unspoken message was that this person currently has no connection with him, and he shouldn't have any reservations; he should say whatever he wanted.
Having said all that, Director Chen had no more reservations and spoke directly.
"The patient has no other problems, but there is one thing: his sperm motility is too low."
Hearing this, Xu Damao felt a little better. It turned out it wasn't a problem after all, so he boldly asked.
"Director Chen, will taking some medicine be enough? Don't worry about prescribing the medicine! I'll take it on time."
Upon hearing this, Director Chen revealed a look of concern for children with intellectual disabilities, and then slowly spoke.
"Your condition is medically known as congenital azoospermia, which is what we commonly call infertility. Currently, we have no way to treat this condition."
"What?"
Xu Damao was stunned. He couldn't accept this result. What did infertility mean? He knew very well, after all, there were still two role models in the compound!
Lou Bancheng, standing to the side, stared intently at Tan Yali with eyes like knives.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Tan Yali lowered her proud head and dared not say another word.
"Director Chen, could there be a mistake in the examination? I'm so young, how could I possibly have this kind of disease?"
Undeterred, Xu Damao's eyes reddened as he hurriedly asked.
"Young man, I understand how you feel, but we have our procedures and generally don't make mistakes. Why don't you try another hospital?"
"Alright, Xu Damao, stop making trouble here. Let's go back!"
Facts speak louder than words. Since the marriage was off anyway, Lou Bancheng didn't care about saving face and directly rebuked Lou Bancheng loudly.
"No, I'm not leaving. I want them to investigate again. I don't believe it!"
Xu Damao shouted hysterically.
Seeing this, Lou Bancheng didn't indulge him and gave a wink to the burly man outside the door.
The burly man outside immediately understood, walked in, picked up Xu Damao, and headed towards him.
"Director Chen, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. It's nothing, we won't bother you any longer. I'll treat you to a meal in a few days to express my gratitude."
"Mr. Lou, you're too kind. Please take care."
Director Chen escorted Lou Bancheng to the door before returning to his office.
Meanwhile, Xu Damao, who was sitting in the car, had already become obedient. That burly man had given him quite a hard time earlier.
Throughout the journey, Xu Damao's eyes were vacant and his face was bloodless, while Lou Bancheng and his wife remained silent.
Soon, the car returned to the courtyard house. Lou Bancheng and his wife didn't even get out of the car, while Xu Damao was pulled out by a strong man.
A group of neighbors, led by Yan Bugui, quickly surrounded Xu Damao when they saw his disheveled appearance.
"Comrade, what's going on?"
"Grandpa, it's you again. I went for a checkup and found out I'm infertile. This guy couldn't handle the blow and ended up like this. I'll just leave him to you."
"What? Another infertile patient? Is our hospital cursed? How come one after another is like this?"
"Hey! Stop complaining, let's get them back first."
Yan Bugui quickly made the arrangements.
It wasn't until several people helped Xu Damao into the courtyard that the burly man beside him realized what was happening.
So, this family is full of childless children; that's really quite bizarre.
