Chapter 146 Meeting the Patient
"Wait." Xu Jin grabbed Jiang Ning to leave, but Jiang Ning had something to tell Shen Mo and stopped her.
Shen Mo used his uninjured arm to snatch Jiang Ning back from Xu Jin's hands, saying, "Xu Jin, don't lay a hand on my wife."
Perhaps Xu Jin was really in a hurry, because she unconsciously tightened her grip on Jiang Ning's wrist, causing it to turn red.
Upon seeing this, Shen Mo's expression immediately darkened.
"Xu Jin! Apologize to my wife!" Shen Mo said through gritted teeth.
Xu Jin hadn't expected Jiang Ning's skin to be so delicate; it turned red as soon as she touched it, and she immediately looked at Jiang Ning apologetically.
"Ningning, I'm so sorry."
As Xu Jin spoke, she looked distressed and went to check Jiang Ning's wrist, which had been reddened by her pulling.
Shen Mo slapped her hand away, looking disgusted. "Apologize if you want, but don't hit me!"
Xu Jin rolled up her sleeves. "Hey, Shen Mo, you're getting cocky, aren't you? Ningning hasn't said anything yet. If it weren't for the fact that you're still injured, I would have given you a good beating."
Shen Mo glanced at her, his face full of disdain.
Jiang Ning almost burst out laughing. She now believed that Shen Mo and Xu Jin were truly a pair of bickering lovers. They were bickering, but she seemed to be the source of their 'misfortune'.
Jiang Ning told Shen Mo that Shen's mother would be bringing food over later before leaving with Xu Jin.
"Wife...come back soon." Shen Mo's dark eyes were fixed on Jiang Ning. He hadn't even left the house yet, but he was already like a statue waiting for his wife.
Xu Jin wanted to say that Shen Mo was a good-for-nothing, but when she turned her head and saw Jiang Ning's face, she firmly affirmed that Shen Mo was indeed a good-for-nothing.
If she were a man, with a wife like that, she'd be a good-for-nothing too.
No sooner had Jiang Ning and Xu Jin left than a doctor walked into the ward. Shen Mo looked up and met the gaze of Dr. Chen as he entered, nodding as a greeting.
Chen Man sat down next to Shen Mo's hospital bed.
As soon as the woman sat down, Shen Mo subconsciously frowned.
During this time, Jiang Ning was in the hospital, and that spot had become his wife's exclusive seat. Now that a stranger had suddenly sat in his wife's seat, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
The person sitting down wasn't a man either. Shen Mo felt somewhat helpless; Xu Jin had really made him sick.
As long as Jiang Ning is sitting here, Shen Mo can talk to his wife with his head tilted to the side all day long, but now that it's someone else, his neck gets sore after tilting his head for a while.
Shen Mo noticed that the other person didn't just glance at the medical record and leave as usual, but instead sat down and kept looking at him.
Shen Mo felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, and asked, "Dr. Chen, is there something you need?"
Chen Man looked at Shen Mo, then smiled and said, "Soldier Shen, do I have to come to you for some reason? You are my savior, and it is my duty to take care of my savior. I am very grateful to you for my safe return home this time."
The other party's words were very tactful, so Shen Mo couldn't kick them out.
However, he wasn't used to being alone with women other than his wife. After she finished speaking, he replied, "We shouldn't be thanking you for this. You should be thanking the country."
Without government arrangements, they would not receive such missions to escort foreign experts and professors back to their home countries.
Chen Man said, "Okay, but I really thank you, Warrior Shen, please don't refuse my thanks."
After saying that, she suddenly seemed to notice something, stood up, picked up the thermos next to her, poured a glass of water, and then held the water to Shen Mo's lips, "Soldier Shen, your lips are a little dry, you need to drink more water."
When the other party suddenly approached, Shen Mo instinctively and quickly dodged to the side.
Seeing this, Chen Man gave an awkward smile and immediately stepped back tactfully, saying, "Sorry."
Although Chen Man stepped back, she still kept handing Shen Mo water.
Shen Mo didn't reach out to take it, but instead picked up the enamel mug next to him. Usually, Shen Mo couldn't lift his hands and had Jiang Ning feed him. As soon as his wife left, his hands immediately regained their strength.
After taking a sip of the water that Jiang Ning had specially boiled for him, Shen Mo said, "It's alright, Dr. Chen, you can go out now if you have nothing else to do."
Chen Man didn't expect him to kick her out so soon; he shouldn't be so heartless about the reason she came to visit.
However, given Shen Mo's words, Chen Man indeed couldn't stay there any longer.
It was time to say goodbye and leave.
As she was leaving, she turned back and said, "Soldier Chen, the special medicine I developed in the United States has been sent by the hospital for clinical trials. The Capital Military Region is also monitoring the results of the trials. Once the results are in, you will take the medicine and your shoulder injury will not leave any sequelae."
Shen Mo paused for a few seconds, then said solemnly, "If your special medicine really works on post-traumatic stress disorder, all wounded soldiers will thank you."
Chen Man smiled and then left.

On the other side, Jiang Ning was taken out of the hospital by Xu Jin and headed straight for the veterans' compound.
On the way, Xu Jin told Jiang Ning that she was being taken to see a patient.
Xu Jin did not explain what kind of patient it was.
Xu Jin rode her bicycle briskly to a stop in front of a courtyard house. Looking at the gate, it was much grander than the Shen family's courtyard house.
After parking the car, Xu Jin helped Jiang Ning out of the car and then quickly pulled her into the yard.
Everyone in the courtyard seemed to know Xu Jin, and they greeted her when they saw her.
As they walked into the innermost courtyard, they suddenly heard the sound of porcelain shattering on the ground, followed by a furious roar, "Get out! All of you, get out of here! Do you all wish I would die quickly so you wouldn't have to serve me anymore?"
Xu Jin led Jiang Ning over, where a few people were standing outside a room, seemingly hesitating about whether to go in and take a look.
Then a middle-aged man came out of the inner room, closing the door behind him, with a helpless expression on his face.
Xu Jin quickly walked over and greeted the middle-aged man who came out, "Uncle He."
"Xiao Jin, you've arrived." He Tingdong greeted her with a kind smile, but when his gaze fell on Jiang Ning, he paused slightly, "This young lady is the doctor you brought?"
"Yes." Xu Jin nodded. "She is the doctor I brought to treat Grandpa He."
He Tingdong looked at the little girl in front of him with some surprise.
Can such a young girl cure his father's illness?
As soon as Xu Jin finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard turned to look at Jiang Ning. She's so young.
Jiang Ning knew that Xu Jin had brought her here to treat patients, and she asked, "Can I see the patients who are not feeling well now?"
"May I ask your surname, comrade?" He Tingdong asked.
"My name is Jiang Ning."
He Tingdong nodded and said, "Dr. Jiang, my dad is in a bad mood right now. If you hear anything unpleasant when you go in, please don't take it to heart."
He Tingdong held a consistent attitude towards all the doctors who came to his home to treat his grandfather. Although he was puzzled, he maintained a kind attitude and did not question them indiscriminately.
Jiang Ning was in a good mood because the other party was nice. She said, "Let me take your pulse first."
He Tingdong immediately led Jiang Ning and Xu Jin into the house. As soon as they entered, a bowl was smashed on the floor. "What are you doing here? Get out!"
