Chapter 559 Zheng Zhiyuan's Concerns
Tomorrow is the day for the medical skills competition with Chen Guang. As soon as Ye Rou gets out of school, her grandfather calls her to the study.
When Ye Rou entered, her grandfather was holding a book and reading it with great concentration.
She looked closely.
Written on the cover of the book were two big words: Economical and effective product package.
Ye Rou felt guilty and asked carefully, "Grandpa, you know it too."
"Hmph." Zheng Zhiyuan, who had always been doting on Ye Rou, sneered.
It seems that he knows.
Ye Rou puffed up her cheeks and muttered, "Master, you're not keeping your word. You clearly promised me to keep it a secret."
Zheng Zhiyuan put down the book, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and rubbed his eyebrows.
Seeing her grandfather worried, Ye Rou smiled playfully and said, "Grandpa, I'm the one who's pregnant. I'm not worried at all, so why are you worried first?"
It's such a time and you're still making jokes.
Zheng Zhiyuan wanted to say something to her, but when he looked up and saw her smile, he paused.
When she first met this child, she took Liu Yutang as her teacher and stayed at Jiang Chen's house.
She had just escaped from a cannibalistic family, and although she looked panic-stricken and behaved generously, she still gave Zheng Zhiyuan a sense of strangeness and separation, as if she had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place.
She is now completely different from before, speaking and doing things with a fearless and unbridled air.
This is actually very good.
He sighed and asked, "Does Jiang Chen know?"
Ye Rou's relaxed smile faded, and she moved a chair to sit down, supporting her cheek with her hands, and said worriedly: "I don't know how to tell him. You know, he never likes children."
"It's not up to him whether he likes it or not."
Zheng Zhiyuan remembered Jiang Chen's sterilization before marriage and was filled with anger. "Your uncle and I bought two yards next door, demolished and rebuilt them, and we're ready to move in. If he doesn't want children, then you can come with me."
Grandpa said this in a domineering manner.
He doesn't look like an easy-going and elegant scholar, but rather like a bandit leader who has become a bandit.
Ye Rou laughed: "Grandpa, you taught me not to avoid problems, but to solve them."
"These are two different things."
Zheng Zhiyuan also taught Jiang Chen, but he never saw that brat listen to him.
Jiang Xiaozi has a stubborn personality. Once he makes up his mind, he will not change it easily. He is best at sticking to one path until the end.
When Zheng Zhiyuan thought about his beautiful granddaughter who was pregnant and had to take care of the dark-faced and smelly boy, he became furious and couldn't calm down at all.
His opinion of Jiang Chen was stronger than ever before!
I saw my grandfather's face getting redder and redder, his eyes getting colder and colder, and his hands holding the book were crackling.
Ye Rou quickly spoke up, interrupting his accumulation of strength.
"Grandpa, it hasn't happened yet, why are you already assuming the worst?"
"It's to your advantage to prepare early."
Seeing Ye Rou's disapproval, Zheng Zhiyuan said earnestly, "It's you who's had a hard time during the ten months of pregnancy, not him, Jiang Chen."
Grandpa is right, Ye Rou nodded.
Seeing that she agreed, Zheng Zhiyuan took the opportunity to scold Jiang Chen, "He's a grown man with all his arms and legs, but he still wants a pregnant woman to worry about him. He's just ignorant."
"Grandpa!" Seeing him start scolding Jiang Chen again, Ye Rou stopped him and insisted, "Let me talk to Jiang Chen about this first and see what his attitude is. If his attitude is not good, you can scold him."
Seeing that she always protected Jiang Chen, he couldn't even curse at her.
Zheng Zhiyuan sat back in his chair, sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay, I won't scold him."
Seeing that Grandpa had given in, Ye Rou stepped forward and took Grandpa's arm, smiling and saying, "Grandpa, please don't be angry with me. I understand what you are saying, and I know you are doing this for my own good."
"You know, why are you still siding with that brat?" Zheng Zhiyuan asked with a stern face.
"In Jing City, I have relatives like you and my uncle, and people like my master who truly protect me. In the past two months, I've also made a lot of friends."
Ye Rou raised her head, her fox eyes full of seriousness: "There is a lot of love around me, family, friendship, support, protection... I have all of these. But Jiang Chen has none of these. He only has me, and he only wants my love."
"He doesn't want children because he has too little and is afraid that having a child will take away the little love he has."
Zheng Zhiyuan was silent.
Ye Rou continued, "I want a child because I love him. I can't put the cart before the horse and keep the child but leave the father behind."
Ye Rou said the last sentence playfully, but Zheng Zhiyuan was not amused by her.
In fact, Ye Rou's words were in the wrong order.
It was because of the kindness she showed that she received so much love.
It is because of her that these people have walked out of the shadow of the past and are standing here healthy and safe.
Ye Rouyi is always treating illnesses, whether they are physical or mental.
He and Jiang Chen are both patients who need treatment.
As a doctor, Ye Rou did not judge Jiang Chen as hopeless.
Why would he stop Ye Rou from curing illnesses and saving lives?
Zheng Zhiyuan figured it out. He rubbed Ye Rou's head and said, "Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. There's just one thing you have to remember."
Ye Rou listened carefully.
"Protect yourself and don't get hurt."
Ye Rou curled her lips into a smile and assured, "Grandpa, don't worry. If Jiang Chen doesn't obey, I know a little bit about fighting."
Zheng Zhiyuan was amused by her, and he felt relieved and asked about tomorrow's competition.
"How confident are you of winning tomorrow's match?"
Ye Rou thought about it seriously for a while, and finally shook her head: "I don't know."
Zheng Zhiyuan said seriously: "You can't lose tomorrow's game."
"Did something happen?" Ye Rou was puzzled.
Zheng Zhiyuan said with a cold face, "Chen Guang invited famous experts in the medical field in Beijing to be judges and even published an invitation letter in the newspaper."
Ye Rou: "Who is the invitation letter for?"
Zheng Zhiyuan frowned in disgust. "Chen Guang invites all traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Jing City to watch tomorrow's competition. If you lose, Chen Guang can use this opportunity to publicly slap traditional Chinese medicine in the face and completely trample on traditional Chinese medicine in the medical community in Jing City."
Ye Rou said excitedly, "Tomorrow's competition will be exciting."
"What are you so happy about?" Zheng Zhiyuan said helplessly. "Everyone outside thinks you'll lose. Some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have already protested in the newspapers. They say you, a little girl, can't represent traditional Chinese medicine, and they demand that University A stop this ridiculous farce."
"Did Principal Ji agree?" Ye Rou asked curiously.
"Humph." Zheng Zhiyuan said with a dark face, "Not only did he not stop the match, he also told others that it was you who took the initiative to challenge Chen Guang. Only you can stop the match."
Ye Rou defended herself, saying innocently, "Although I was the one who proposed the competition, I wasn't the one who wanted to make a big deal out of it."
"You throw out bait and a bunch of fish come to the bait. The fish don't complain about the sharp hook; they only blame the person who threw the bait for enticing them."
Zheng Zhiyuan said earnestly, "Chen Guang wants to use this match to remove the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine from University A. The new and old presidents of University A also want to use this competition to severely dampen the other's spirit. Things have developed to this point, and it's beyond your control."
"How about stopping the game?"
"The sunlight is so strong that everything becomes visible." Ye Rou stretched lazily facing the sun.
"Instead of letting them hide in the dark and trip me up, I'd rather use this competition to bring everything to light. We're on the same starting line, so I don't necessarily lose."
Zheng Zhiyuan disagreed, "What if I lose? I really leave University A and never become a doctor again?"
"Grandpa, I became a doctor because I wanted to be one, not because I had to be one."
Ye Rou spoke in a relaxed tone.
"If you really lose, just try another route. At most you'll lose someone, it's no big deal."
The confidence and vitality she exuded from the inside out infected Zheng Zhiyuan.
Zheng Zhiyuan wanted to comfort her, but unexpectedly, he was comforted by her in the end.
He is really old and can't keep up with the thinking of young people.
"In that case, go ahead and do it." Zheng Zhiyuan patted Ye Rou's shoulder and gave her confidence: "No matter what, remember that you are never alone."
Ye Rou was moved and hugged her grandfather, saying softly, "Grandpa, you are so good to me."
"You're such a grown-up girl, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat."
Zheng Zhiyuan spoke with disgust, but he did not push her away. Instead, he rubbed the little girl's furry head lovingly.
