Extra 3

Zhou Fangxi is the old lady of the Ji family.

She was born in the war, lost her husband six months after getting married, and raised Ji Jinmao alone. Now her son has become a wealthy man in Hunan Province, her daughter-in-law is a nationally famous painter, her grandson and granddaughter-in-law have become respected criminal investigation experts in the public security system, and her great-granddaughter is smart, pretty and sensible. With a family of six, Zhou Fangxi feels that her current life is like a mouse falling into a granary, and she is so happy that it seems like a dream.

There is one thing that has happened recently. My vision has become increasingly blurry. It seems that there is always a layer of white mist in front of my eyes, and I can't see clearly. But for Zhou Fangxi, this is nothing. Anyway, she thinks that every day after the age of 70 is a gift from God, and she dare not ask for anything more.

Until one day.

Ji Qingping showed her the painting he had drawn in kindergarten: "Grandma, look, this is the painting I drew!"

Zhou Fangxi stretched out his hand, but missed.

Only then did the Ji family realize something was wrong.

Zhou Fangxi has always been very strong and doesn't like to go to the hospital. Ji's family knows this. For minor illnesses and pains, they usually have a private doctor come to check on them, and they take some medicine and get injections at home. But this time it was different. When the private doctor checked, his face was serious: "It's better to go to the hospital. The old man has cataracts."

Senile cataracts may lead to blindness in severe cases.

Zhou Fangxi wanted to continue to delay, but Ji Jinmao was determined to send her to the hospital. Zhou Fangxi lost her temper at home: "I won't go! The hospital smells like disinfectant and everything is white. I have lived to be 72, that's enough, I don't want to go to the hospital and suffer that again."

Ji Jinmao was so anxious that he was sweating all over his forehead. He kept persuading her, "Mom, you have an eye problem. If you don't treat it, you will go blind."

Zhou Fangxi shook her head: "Just ask the doctor to prescribe some eye drops for me. I don't want to take medicine or have surgery. If I go blind, I'm blind. What's there to be afraid of?"

Old and young, old and young. The stubbornness of the elderly sometimes really gives their children a headache.

Ji Jinmao had no choice but to ask Zhao Xiangwan, who understood people's hearts best, to help: "Xiangwan, go and persuade your grandmother to go to the hospital."

Zhao Xiangwan had just returned from the south. She started as a small fry and uprooted a drug trafficking gang with hundreds of people. Her achievements were extraordinary, but the hardships and dangers she experienced made her physically and mentally exhausted.

The Ji family knew that her life was not easy and were reluctant to add to her burden with household chores.

Now Zhou Fangxi is determined not to be hospitalized and would rather go blind than have surgery. Ji Jinmao doesn't know what she is thinking, so he has to let Zhao Xiangwan come forward to communicate with her.

Zhao Xiangwan learned about Zhou Fangxi's situation and became a little anxious.

She came to Zhou Fangxi's room and asked patiently, "Grandma, why don't you want to go to the hospital?"

Zhou Fangxi said the same thing: "The hospital looks cold and lonely. I don't want to go. Xiangwan, I'm your grandma. I've lived for 72 years. I've lived enough. Please let me stay at home."

Zhao Xiangwan listened quietly to the old man's voice.

[It was all white, plain, like a funeral hall.]

[The white coat he wore was like mourning clothes.]

[The doctors and nurses all had stern faces, as if they were going to a grave.]

[Many elderly people die in hospitals. I won’t go! If I have to die, I’d rather die at home.]

After hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan roughly understood the old man's concerns.

The simple, cold and serious environment of the hospital caused Zhou Fangxi to feel psychological pressure and feel that he was very close to death.

As for the old woman, even though she keeps saying “I’ve lived enough”, deep down she is still afraid of death.

Zhao Xiangwan smiled, her smile was kind and warm: "Grandma, if we can make the hospital not so cold, will you go or not?"

Zhou Fangxi looked at Zhao Xiangwan with disbelief: "Isn't that the same in all hospitals? What can you do?"

Zhao Xiangwan asked back: "You don't believe me?"

Zhou Fangxi couldn't see Zhao Xiangwan's face clearly, but she sensed hope from her tone: "Of course, grandma believes you."

Zhao Xiangwan said: "We have just opened an ophthalmology hospital in our city. Most of the patients are children with amblyopia and myopia. The wards are mainly blue and green. The doctors and nurses are very friendly. Since its opening, the mortality rate has been zero."

Zhou Fangxi was immediately interested when she heard this: "Really? Does that patient have many children?"

Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Yes. It was mostly filled with children, chattering all day long, very lively. Everyone said it didn't look like a hospital, but more like a kindergarten."

Zhou Fangxi was a person who loved to be lively, and the sentence "the mortality rate since opening has been zero" deeply touched her fearful heart.

In this way, Zhou Fangxi was successfully persuaded and admitted to the first professional ophthalmology hospital in Xing City, named Shiming.

Ji Jinmao asked Zhao Xiangwan in surprise: "How do you know the situation of this hospital?"

Zhao Xiangwan said calmly: "Oh, the director of this hospital is Qiao Mo. The deputy director is Gu Wenjiao."

Ji Jinmao was also Zhao Xiangwan's protector, and he paid close attention to the cases she handled, especially the Gu Wenjiao case, in which Ji Zhao used self-defense to destroy Fan Hongwei's eye for the first time. When he heard the name Gu Wenjiao, he immediately thought of her.

Ji Jinmao asked in surprise: "Ah, they returned to China?"

Zhao Xiangwan said: "Yes, I came back last year. During the preparation stage, I asked Manager Mei to come forward and provide some financial support."

Ji Jinmao has retired, and the group's affairs are basically handed over to Mei Qingxi and Gu Zhixing. Zhao Xiangwan said that he invested a little money, so it is estimated that he invested a lot of money.

I never thought that Ji Group would start to enter the medical industry.

In this way, old lady Zhou Fangxi was admitted to the Shiming Eye Hospital.

Dean Qiao Mo performed the surgery himself, and Deputy Dean Gu Wenjiao provided care throughout the entire process, shocking everyone in the hospital: What kind of important patient was this that required the two deans of the hospital to come in person?

The cataract surgery went smoothly. It was the first time in Zhou Fangxi's life that she was hospitalized and she didn't want to leave.

It's much more lively here than at home.

The walls were painted light green, and the nurses wore pink uniforms, taking good care of her. It was great to hear the children's laughter and the kind words of the doctors and nurses every day.

When he was discharged from the hospital, Ji Jinmao expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Qiao Mo glanced at his wife Gu Wenjiao, who was standing beside him smiling silently. A faint smile appeared on his serious face: "No, I should thank you."

Gu Wenjiao held Zhao Xiangwan's hand, her eyes slightly red. "Officer Zhao, thank you very much, really."

Zhao Xiangwan said: "It is my duty, you are welcome."

All kinds of past events come to mind.

Gu Wenjiao's voice was a little choked up: "For you policemen, that is your duty, but for me, you are my adopted parents. If your Serious Case Unit had not intervened, my mother's murder case would not have been solved; if you and Ji Zhao had not taken action, Fan Hongwei would not have been arrested; if you had not told me that if I continued to act, I would suffer the consequences, I would not have made up my mind to give up my child. It can be said that without you, I would not be Gu Wenjiao today."

Gu Wenjiao knew very well that it was Zhao Xiangwan who changed her originally miserable life.

Her mother was murdered and she was wrongly accused for more than ten years. She searched hard for the murderer, but it turned out that the murderer was her bedmate. She also gave birth to a son with the murderer.

Gu Wenjiao had no hesitation in executing Fan Hongwei. But what about her son Fan Tianbao? Her maternal instinct made her want to continue raising him, but her rationality made her give up.

This choice is crucial.

The person who prompted her to see her inner heart clearly and make the decision to give up was Zhao Xiangwan.

Even though so many years have passed, Gu Wenjiao still remembers the scene.

Zhao Xiangwan guided her to pour out her pain, and told her gently but firmly that it was not her fault, but that the person who was wrong was Fan Hongwei, and she did not need to blame herself.

When she was reluctant to give up her son, it was Zhao Xiangwan who cleared the clouds and made her see the true nature of the matter.

"Is Tianbao's last name Gu?"

"No."

"What's his last name?"

"Fan."

"How old is he?"

"Almost six."

"How long until I turn 18?"

"Twelve years."

"If he gets married and has kids when he's 26, how long will it take?"

"Twenty years."

"If you live to be eighty, how long will it take?"

"Fifty years..."

Which is more important, the six years of mother-son companionship or the next fifty years of her life? Gu Wenjiao finally made up her mind. Rather than continue to entangle with the child, it is better to give up directly. Rather than letting the child hate her for helping the police to arrest his father in the future, it is better to completely cut off ties with him.

If you want to hate, hate to the end; if you want to cut off, cut off completely!

From then on, she pretended that she had never given birth to the child, bravely said goodbye to the past, and started a new life.

With the advice of Zhao Xiangwan and the introduction of Qiao Mo, Gu Wenjiao went to the United States to study nursing, picked up her professional knowledge again, and learned and improved step by step.

Later, Qiao Mo's sincerity moved Gu Wenjiao, and the two got married and had a daughter. They loved each other and had a happy family.

Last year, Gu Wenjiao couldn't bear to leave her hometown, so she returned to China and opened this ophthalmology hospital with Qiao Mo.

Dr. Qiao is a skilled doctor, while Gu Wenjiao is strong and calm. The couple work together to create a career.

It can be said that the person Gu Wenjiao is most grateful to for being able to stand here today and have a new and bright life is Zhao Xiangwan.

Today's sweetness finally covers up the bitterness of the past.

Thinking about the times when she was subjected to domestic violence and bullying, Gu Wenjiao felt like she had lived three lifetimes.

In her first life, her mother Zhou Jinfeng protected her very well, and she lived a carefree life every day.

In her second life, her mother was murdered, and she fell into extreme self-blame and pain. She tried hard to find the murderer, but the murderer Fan Hongwei planned to marry her and have children, which made her extremely distressed.

In her third life, she abandoned everything in the past, including the son she had carried for ten months and raised for six years, and bravely went abroad to start a business, and regained love, marriage, family and career.

In life, there are always many choices.

Gu Wenjiao chose to marry Fan Hongwei and have children despite her father's opposition, and fell into the quagmire of an unhappy marriage.

Gu Wenjiao chose to give up the custody of her son in pursuit of self-realization.

At every important time of life choice, we may meet some people who will tell you what is right and what is wrong. They will guide you to think about why you made mistakes in the past, what the reasons were, and what path you should take in the future so as not to repeat the same mistakes.

Such people are the noble people in your life.

Zhao Xiangwan was Gu Wenjiao's noble friend.

Gu Wenjiao will remember and be grateful for this throughout her life.

But if you give me an order, I will do it even if it means jumping into fire and boiling water.

Gu Wenjiao, do you still remember her?
