Chapter 843: Xiao Qi feels very friendly (Part 3)
Jiang Qin is lost.
When the incident happened, the Jiang family was at the beach. The three children wanted to eat ice cream, so Mr. Jiang went to the ice cream shop, leaving his wife to look after the children alone.
Everything was fine at first, but suddenly, a riot broke out not far away - a desperado, being chased by the police, rushed into this area and wanted to take a hostage.
At that time, several members of the Jiang family were closest to him, especially the sisters Jiang Xin and Jiang Qin, who were within his reach.
So, the desperado chose Jiang Qin, who was younger and easier to control, between the two sisters.
What happened next was chaos.
Screams, gunshots, and children's cries intertwined together to become a nightmare for everyone in the Jiang family.
The police and Mr. Jiang who rushed over kept persuading the criminals. They tried to delay time as much as possible and finally waited until the sniper found the right position to shoot.
Bang--
A gunshot rang out and the gangster was shot.
Perhaps sensing his impending death, this desperado did something that shocked everyone:
With his last breath, he plunged a knife into Jiang Qin's heart, then hugged her and jumped off the railing into the rolling whitecaps of the sea.
From then on, the Jiang family's happiness was completely shattered.
Grandpa Jiang hired countless people to salvage the little Jiang Qin from the sea, but after a whole month, they didn't find her. They only found a pair of the little girl's shoes.
"After that incident, my parents fell seriously ill, and my eldest sister Jiang Xin also had nightmares for a long time. Because the criminals had to choose between the two sisters and chose my younger sister as a hostage, my older sister felt that she had failed to protect her. The blow caused her to suffer from depression."
The year Xiao Jiangqin's accident happened, Bo Ye's mother was already eleven years old. Eleven-year-old children understand everything, including what death means.
Watching his beloved little sister being kidnapped by criminals right under his nose was a huge blow to Jiang Xin, who had a strong sense of responsibility and was a thoughtful person.
Since then, she has been depressed, and her mental and physical condition has deteriorated rapidly. She had to take a leave of absence from school for several years before she recovered.
"Because of a knot in her heart, my eldest sister's health has always been poor. She could hold on when she was young, but as she got older, all kinds of illnesses came to her, and she can't bear it anymore. Xiaoqi, I called you today just to ask if you can come and help her diagnose. I'm afraid she won't make it through the next few years."
Jiang Yan rarely cries, but when he talked about his two younger sisters, his voice choked a little.
Ruan Qi never expected that the Jiang family would have such a tragic past. Thinking of Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu's past experiences, she couldn't help but be deeply moved.
"Uncle Jiang, don't be sad. I will definitely go and treat Aunt Jiang." She comforted him softly, "She's been depressed for decades. It's indeed a bit tricky, but it's not incurable. Aunt Jiang's heart knot is with her sister. I can't relieve her, but I can treat her body and keep her alive."
The knot in her heart is tied to the dead person. Unless Jiang Qin comes back to life, even if Ruan Qi is a god, she cannot cure Jiang Xin's depression.
But she can treat organic diseases and extend Jiang Xin's life.
Jiang Yan knew Ruan Qi's medical skills, and he was overjoyed when he heard her say that.
"I feel relieved with your words. Thank you, Xiaoqi. Thank you so much!"
"Uncle Jiang, you don't have to be so polite." Ruan Qi said with a smile, "I'm free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Please arrange it and I'll go to my aunt's house to visit."
…
The next morning, Ruan Qi, accompanied by Xi Jiu, went to Bo Ye's parents' home as scheduled.
Like the Jiang family, the Bo family also pursued careers in government. Consequently, the Bo and Jiang families lived very close to each other, in the same military compound.
Xi Jiu drove the car into the compound with familiarity and stopped in front of a two-story villa.
Jiang Yan and Bo also heard the sound of the sports car engine and immediately came out to greet it.
"Xiao Qi, Lao Jiu!" Jiang Yan rarely showed such enthusiasm to younger people, but since the other person was Ruan Qi, he was willing to show his enthusiasm. "Are you cold on the way? Have you had breakfast? I asked the nanny to arrange lunch, and you two must stay here to eat today."
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, and since they were all family, Ruan Qi agreed with a smile.
"Uncle Jiang, Third Brother Bo, let's go see Aunt Jiang first."
"Don't worry, she's resting in the bedroom upstairs. Take off your clothes and go inside to warm up for a while."
Jiang Xin's villa is more than 20 years old. It looks shabby from the outside, but it is warm and clean once you enter.
The sofa and walls were beige, and the coffee table and wall decorations were exquisite. It was clear at a glance that the decorator of this house was a gentle and thoughtful person. Ruan Qi had heard from Xi Jiu that Bo Ye's father was a rough man, so these warm decorations were undoubtedly the work of Jiang Xin.
This Aunt Jiang must be a very nice person.
Ruan Qi was thinking this when footsteps suddenly came from the stairs on the second floor.
"Brother, is Miss Ruan here?" The voice was as gentle as fresh white tea, accompanied by a few coughs.
Ruan Qi immediately looked up.
A thin, slender figure slowly descended the stairs. Her long hair was loose, and she wore a light gray sweater and matching trousers. Though she was in her fifties, she didn't look a bit old; every move exuded elegance.
However, his face was extremely haggard and pale without a trace of blood.
Ruan Qi guessed at a glance that this person should be Bo Ye's mother, Jiang Yan's eldest sister, Jiang Xin.
She politely stood up from the sofa.
"Hello, Aunt Jiang, I'm Ruan Qi."
Jiang Xin was helped down the stairs by Bo Ye.
She looked at the little girl in front of her, and was first stunned by her appearance, and then she smiled gently.
"Hello, Miss Ruan. I've heard Bo Ye mention you a long time ago. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed a beautiful and outstanding girl. Miss Ruan, please take a seat. Lao Jiu, please take a seat as well."
Jiang Xin said this and coughed a few more times with difficulty.
Ruan Qi sat down while observing her expression and said to her, "Third Brother Bo and I are of the same generation. Aunt Jiang, please don't use honorifics with me. Just call me Xiao Qi."
"Okay, Xiao Qi." Jiang Xin smiled lightly, her gentle gaze moving around her face, and suddenly said, "I don't know why, but when I look at Xiao Qi, I always feel a sense of familiarity, as if I have met her before."
Bo Ye: "Maybe it's because you always see her on TV. My sister-in-law is a big star, and her commercials and TV dramas are often on TV."
"Maybe, Xiaoqi..." Jiang Xin wanted to say something, but her face suddenly turned pale, and she covered her chest and started coughing violently.
Bo Ye and Jiang Yan suddenly looked nervous.
"Slow down, take a deep breath, don't cough too hard, slow down, slow down."
Jiang Xin had trouble breathing and had suffered several asthma attacks before, the most severe of which had nearly cost her life. Fearing something might happen to her, Bo Ye and Jiang Yan rushed to pat her back and get her some medicine.
Seeing the family in a panic, Ruan Qi stood up, took out a silver needle, and inserted it into Jiang Xin's acupuncture point.
Jiang Xin's cough stopped instantly.
There will be three updates today, totaling 6,000 words.
See you tomorrow.
