Social Death Patient 086
Both husband and wife knew that their decision to find a surrogate mother must not be made known to others, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Our child..." Ge Jia'an was sweating profusely and kept hinting to Bai Jiesui, hoping that she would not ask too many questions.
Durana: "Doctor Bai, don't talk nonsense. I have given birth to a child."
Bai Jiesui didn't say whether she believed it or not. She just looked at them one by one with a suspicious look: "Really?"
Duranna was terrified, but she insisted, "I gave birth to the child myself. I gave birth to the child in a hospital abroad for a whole day, nearly 23 hours."
Ge Jiaan understood and continued, "I was there too. I even went in to accompany the birth. I saw the baby come out with my own eyes."
What they said were not all lies. The surrogate mother they found abroad gave birth for more than 20 hours. On the day of delivery, they were still waiting in a hotel near the hospital so that they could take the child away as soon as possible.
Bai Jiesui pondered, "Since Teacher Du is willing to have a child herself and has normal fertility, why does she have to go through all the trouble of taking ovulation injections and doing IVF?"
This question stumped both the couple.
Durana had previously tried hard to clarify that she had no fertility problems, but now it is even more difficult to explain why she went through the trouble of in vitro fertilization.
There was no way Ge Jia'an would admit that he had fertility problems and take the blame. He was a man and couldn't afford to lose face as a man.
Finally, Ge Jiaan came up with a reasonable excuse. He said: "We want to have a healthy and healthy baby, so we followed our friends' advice and went abroad for IVF."
Durana immediately had an epiphany and nodded eagerly, "Because our Jimmy was born through in vitro fertilization, he had excellent health from birth. He rarely got sick before he was three years old. He grew up to be smarter than his peers and learned things very quickly."
"Teacher Du, please stop deifying test-tube babies. There is no difference in intelligence and physical development between test-tube babies and healthy babies conceived normally. Test-tube babies are meant to help couples who cannot conceive normally for various reasons, as well as couples who carry genetic diseases, and..." Bai Jiesui suddenly paused here.
Durana couldn't help but say, "And?"
Bai Jiesui was silent for a moment, then looked her straight in the eye and said, "For couples who don't want to take the risk of having children, we provide surrogacy services for them through IVF."
Duranna's scalp was numb. "How many times do I have to tell you this? I gave birth to this child myself. I just want a smart and healthy child. Can't I do IVF?"
Bai Jiesui: "A woman's body undergoes significant changes before and after childbirth. I'm sure Teacher Du is aware of this, right?"
Durana knew the difference between before and after childbirth. She just didn't want her figure to be out of shape, her breasts to sag, or her to develop stretch marks, so she chose to find someone to help her give birth.
Besides, she was not without money. Her career was booming at the time. Using the time during her pregnancy to work could create much higher economic value than giving birth at home.
"A woman's body undergoes tremendous changes after childbirth. So, what do you think the probability is that I've misdiagnosed her pulse?"
Bai Jiesui looked at Durana with a half-smile, as if there was something else behind her words.
Duranna's intuition told her that Bai Jisui was hinting at her, and it depended on whether she was willing to take advantage of this opportunity.
This opportunity was not given to her for free; it required exchange for benefits. She didn't have to guess what Bai Jiesui wanted.
She didn't express her opinion, so Bai Jiesui just waited patiently.
In the end, Durana compromised. She needed to find a moment to catch her breath, and then she could slowly negotiate with them.
Continuing to let Bai Jiesui speak more on TV will only lead to the complete social destruction of the couple, and there will be no room for recovery.
"Doctor Bai, please take another look at me. What if he really misdiagnosed me?"
Durana was not the first person to tell Bai Jiesui that she had misdiagnosed her, nor was she the first patient to ask Bai Jiesui to treat her again.
White Mustard had refused many times because they were just making a last-ditch effort.
However, this time Bai Jiesui readily agreed.
"Okay, everyone, please step out for a moment. I'll give Teacher Du a comprehensive checkup."
Everyone left the lounge in confusion and returned to the banquet hall.
The audience had just eaten half a mouthful of the melon, and their appetites were already whetted.
[Don't chase me away, I want to stay. I feel uncomfortable because I haven't finished eating the melon.]
[I have seen through the morals of these unethical celebrities. What they do is more immoral than the other, but their words are more stubborn than the other. After being exposed by Teacher Xiaobai, not a single one dared to admit it.]
[It doesn't matter, they are all making their final desperate struggle [ok]]
[This seems to be the first time Teacher Xiaobai has wasted his time re-examining someone. Why bother?]
[To beat Durana to death, so that Durana can sincerely admit her evil deeds]
[Damn it! Why did you let me out? I want to see the scene. Why did you let me stay? [Going crazy]]
Only Bai Jiesui and Durana were left in the room.
The pressure in Duranna's heart suddenly eased a lot, and at the same time, her expression when she looked at Bai Jiesui became fierce.
"Did you do that on purpose?"
"Why do you say I did it on purpose? It wasn't me who asked you to find a surrogate mother."
"But you deliberately found an opportunity to treat me. It was all planned by you, right?"
Bai Jiesui looked innocent: "That's not the case. It was clearly Teacher Du who was not feeling well. It was Mr. Ge who asked me to help you with the treatment. I couldn't refuse, so I helped."
Seeing her hypocritical expression, Durana felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
"You knew I was faking illness, right? You could have helped me get away with it, but you insisted on saying unnecessary things on TV."
Bai Jiesui looked at her coldly for a long while, then suddenly burst into laughter: "You're not wrong, I did it on purpose."
"You!" Durana knew it was true, but she couldn't do anything about the white mustard.
Ge Jiaan was thinking about his words when he noticed that Durana and Bai Jiesui were arguing with each other. The key point was that he didn't know why Durana was arguing with Bai Jiesui.
He didn't understand after listening for a long time, but he was dissatisfied with Durana's attitude and began to scold her.
"Nana, what's wrong with you? Can't you just speak properly?"
Although Bai Jiesui put them in an embarrassing situation, Ge Jiaan still did not want to offend Bai Jiesui and still wanted to maintain a good relationship with her.
"You don't know the details at all." Durana felt bitter but couldn't express it.
From what Ge Jiaan heard, it seemed that there was some grudge or dispute between them.
He first rolled his eyes at Duranna, then smiled apologetically at Bai Jiesui and said, "Doctor Bai, if she has offended you in any way, I hope you won't take it to heart. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Bai Jiesui smiled and said, "Boss Ge, there are some things you can't do for me. I don't want an apology. What I want to hear is something only Teacher Du knows. It depends on whether Teacher Du wants to tell me or not."
Ge Jiaan has been married to Durana for more than ten years, and this is the first time he knows that she has grievances and conflicts with Bai Jiesui. It is obviously a very important matter.
"Just tell me whatever Dr. Bai asks you. Don't hide anything."
Durana was extremely upset: "Don't worry about it for now."
If it was some other insignificant matter, he wouldn't bother to care. Now she had a conflict with Bai Jiesui, and Duranna was not the only one affected.
Just as Ge Jiaan was about to speak, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and in came a person whom Ge Jiaan had never expected in his dreams.
Ge Jia'an immediately forgot what he wanted to say and greeted the visitor ecstatically.
"Teacher Yan, I haven't heard of Teacher Yan for a long time. Today I finally have the chance to meet Teacher Yan."
Not to mention that a business celebrity like Ge Jiaan can meet celebrities casually, he should be accustomed to it. In fact, there are only a few big bosses who have met Yan Yushan. He does not accept commercial performances or attend various business banquets. The opportunity to meet him is very rare, so it is no wonder that Ge Jiaan was excited.
Yan Yushan, who was always polite, did not shake hands with Ge Jiaan, but just nodded. Then he walked straight to stand behind Bai Jiesui.
Ge Jia'an calmed down now, and couldn't help but wonder why Yan Yushan came in and why he stood with Bai Jiesui.
Yan Yushan: "Teacher Du, are you willing to talk now?"
Durana: "You set this trap for me just for this moment, right?"
Bai Jiesui: "Who told Teacher Du not to cooperate?"
"Even if I cooperate with you, who will compensate me for the damage to my reputation?" Duranna sneered, staring intently at Bai Jiesui. "Are you going to declare your diagnosis wrong and use your own reputation to restore mine?"
Yan Yushan said sternly, "You wish for it. Don't expect Xiaobai to take the blame for what you did yourself."
"Then I have nothing to say. Anyway, you will never know what happened back then." Durana leaned back in her chair, with a broken jar mentality. As long as Bai Jiesui didn't help restore her reputation, she wouldn't say a word about what they wanted to know.
Bai Jiesui laughed out loud when he heard this: "It doesn't matter what happened. We can probably guess it. It's probably pretty close to what's written in the script."
Durana thought of the content in the script and her expression twitched slightly.
Bai Jiesui continued, "More importantly, we can confirm from your reaction that you did indeed do quite a bit of trickery back then. So your retribution today is well deserved. No, you're really just playing tricks on yourself."
Durana tried her best to calm herself down. Only when she was calm would she have a chance to break the deadlock.
She knew that her current situation was very passive, but if she stayed in a passive position, she would be led by the nose. She wanted to take back some initiative and fight for her own interests.
"Don't you want to know what happened to your mother back then? Don't you want to know who was plotting against her? And Teacher Yan, don't you care if she had any unusual behavior before she left? Or what she said to whom?"
Yan Yushan certainly wanted to know, but this could not be based on damaging Bai Jiesui's reputation.
"If you still want to trade Xiaobai's reputation for it, it's absolutely impossible. We won't agree to it."
"Then give up. I will take all of Bai Shuang's secrets into my coffin."
Anyway, Durana is already socially dead. If she doesn't live well, others won't be able to live comfortably either. It's better to let them suffer with me.
I don’t know what Bai Jiesui was thinking about, but he laughed for no reason.
"When you actually see the coffin, you won't think so anymore. You'll be eager to tell us everything you know."
Durana didn't understand what she meant, but she continued to smile and said, "Do you think I sat down to talk with you just because I know about your surrogacy and I don't have any other bargaining chips?"
"What do you mean?"
Bai Jiesui: "I'll give you one last chance. If you're willing to speak up, it could save your family's lives. Won't you seriously consider it?"
Duranna's heart was pounding, not sure if she was going to blast herself or if she had really known some secret again.
But Durana thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what it was.
Ge Jiaan was as confused as she was.
"It's okay, you can take your time to think about it. You can contact me at any time, but you must remember to do it in time."
After saying that, she didn't even give Durana a second thought and stood up and went out with Yan Yushan.
The couple were the only ones left in the room.
Ge Jiaan couldn't help but ask, "What's going on between you and Doctor Bai? And Yan Yushan, why is he here too? What's the relationship between the two of them?"
Durana's head was about to explode: "This is not a good place to talk, let's go back and talk."
It would cause trouble for him, Ge Jiaan glared at her fiercely.
At this point, Ge Jiaan no longer had the heart to stay at the banquet, so he could only take Durana back early.
Out of courtesy, he went back to the banquet hall to say goodbye to the host before leaving.
However, Bai Jiesui had returned to the banquet hall at some point and was standing with Zong Jin.
In other words, if they wanted to say goodbye, they had to go to Bai Jiesui again. The most important thing was that the media that came to interview Zong Jin had not left and were still following him and filming him.
Not to mention that Duranna didn't want to go over, even Ge Jiaan felt a lot of pressure.
I don’t know if it was because of too much pressure, but just as Ge Jiaan took a step forward, his vision suddenly went dark and he fell to the ground without warning, unconscious.
The sudden movement alarmed everyone in the audience.
"What happened? Why did Mr. Ge suddenly faint?"
"Did Mr. Ge have another stroke?"
Durana immediately knelt on the ground, calling out to Ge Jiaan anxiously.
"Jia'an? Jia'an, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
The people around called Bai Jiesui anxiously: "Doctor Bai, why did Mr. Ge faint? Please take a look at him."
Durana suddenly looked up at Bai Jiesui, completely forgetting their previous conflict, and looked at her longingly.
Bai Jiesui didn't move. "No need to check. I just checked Mr. Ge. He didn't have a stroke. He ate too much snake soup, pangolins, marmots, and other wild game. He got infected with parasites. Sparganosis has invaded his brain. Send him to the hospital for treatment immediately. If he's too late, it will affect the functional areas of his brain."
Duranna's heart trembled at these last few words, she knew that they were said to her on purpose.
