Let alone promotion, no one has made things difficult for Ye Zhanying over the years, all because of Chief of Staff Ye's influence.
"Grandma, could you please keep your voice down? We're already at the door. It would be so embarrassing if someone heard us. Please, just for the sake of the leader, give us some face. Please, please."
Ye Zhanying rolled her eyes at him: "Look at you, so useless. I don't even know what to say to you."
She put one hand on the doorknob, then paused, hearing the sounds inside.
"Since you're not satisfied, why are you even here at the hospital? My brother is not worthy of your service. Who knows if you've poisoned the water? You've already ruined him like this, what more do you want?"
Before either of them even went inside, they heard Xie Wanying scream loudly from inside.
She saw Shu Ying bring over something that looked like a straw cup, pour water into it, and immediately snatched it away to pour it out.
"Your family's political background is problematic to begin with. Who knows if the water the capitalists spilled will cause any problems? I'll take care of my brother. Don't let me see you in the hospital!"
Shu Ying was so angry that she laughed. At first, Xie Wanying would pretend, but after Shu Ying saw through her act without any mercy, she stopped pretending altogether.
Shu Ying strode over, snatched the water glass from her hand, drank the water in it clean, and suppressed her anger, lowering her voice to say:
"Are you relieved now? If I really wanted to poison him, I had a thousand, ten thousand ways. Are you a medical student, or am I? If you don't know anything, don't get in my way!"
Xie Wanying reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with anger.
"What do you mean! You look down on me? Don't think you're so great just because you studied medicine abroad. All that money your family has isn't from honest sources! You've ruined Zhiyan so badly, and now you're putting on this act. I'm not buying it!"
Shu Ying sneered and stepped closer: "I hurt him so badly? Which eye of yours saw that? You only saw how hard your brother was doing, but what makes you think it's easy for me to raise two children?"
"The children are not bullied because they don't have a father. My family is a scholarly family, and every time someone passes by my house, they call me a widow. I am indeed more comfortable materially, but based on that alone, you think I am living a carefree and idyllic life? Is it that your understanding is narrow, or are you blind and insensitive?"
Ye Zhanying, standing outside the door, turned to look at Wang Zhande beside her, puzzled.
"Child? What child?"
Wang Zhande scratched his head: "My sister-in-law got pregnant not long after she married the leader. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The boy looks exactly like the leader."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Ye Zhanying's face. She had thought that Shu Ying was just a scheming little white lotus who would try to climb the social ladder, but she never expected that even after her parents passed away, she had managed to keep her two children safe and send them to the army.
“I just took Xie Zhiyan’s pulse. Although his pulse is weak and shallow, his heart pulse is strong and powerful. The fever is just a symptom. As long as the fever goes down, the chances of him waking up will be higher. If you really care about him, then step aside. Are you not his sister? You’re just making trouble here!”
Xie Wanying's fragile self-esteem was trampled upon, and she covered her ears, refusing to listen to anything:
"Stop spreading rumors here. You just want to harm Zhiyan. In his current state, he's in danger of choking even when he drinks or eats. I won't allow a murderer like you to get near him!"
Ye Zhanying was extremely annoyed by Xie Wanying's affected voice. She got goosebumps just listening to it from outside and really wanted to slap her.
In contrast, Shu Ying seemed much more normal.
Just as Ye Zhanying was about to kick the door open, she saw Dr. Liu, who had just come off the operating table.
Without saying a word, she led him into the ward: "Dr. Liu, is Xie Zhiyan allowed to drink water in his current condition?"
Dr. Liu nodded: "No problem. Chief Xie's wife is quite capable. The pulse diagnosis she made is basically consistent with our judgment."
He's a promising talent.
Dr. Liu was Xie Zhiyan's attending physician, and he performed Xie Zhiyan's surgery.
Having received the accurate answer, Ye Zhanying had a better understanding of the situation.
She pushed open the door and glanced at the strange thing in Shu Ying's hand: "Doctor, what is that thing in her hand? Can it be used on Xie Zhiyan?"
Even though she didn't say anything, Dr. Liu didn't notice that Shu Ying had handed over what she was holding, and his eyes lit up.
"Of course, I didn't even think of that. This long tube can help him drink more water. This was a common method used in ancient times when someone fell into a coma. It would reduce the risk of suffocation and also allow him to eat more."
Dr. Liu looked at Shu Ying with admiration. This young girl looked very young, but she knew a lot about both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
Xie Wanying was somewhat displeased: "How could something so hard be used by a human? Dr. Liu, you can't just talk nonsense. My brother is injured like this. If he doesn't wake up, I will hold your hospital accountable."
Dr. Liu's smile was somewhat awkward: "Theoretically, this straw is indeed a relic from ancient times. The ancients' verification is generally accurate. Comrade Xie Zhiyan's current condition is that he needs to drink more water. Now that we have this tool, we can also feed him some rice porridge in the morning and evening."
He glanced at Xie Zhiyan on the hospital bed and said firmly, "He lost a lot of blood. He was already in a coma when he was brought here. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unconscious for so long. Eating more food will help him recover faster. As long as he gets enough nutrition, his blood-forming function will help his wounds heal better."
Ye Zhanying naturally understood what the doctor was saying.
She had always been in the medical unit and had memorized basic medical knowledge.
Xie Wanying glared angrily at Shu Ying: "Don't think that just because they're all on your side, you can do whatever you want! Zhiyan and I are blood relatives, as close as brothers. If I don't agree, you can forget about having any ideas!"
The more Xie Wanying listened to Dr. Liu's words, the more it seemed like she was contradicting herself.
What could a pampered young lady like Shu Ying possibly know?
Even if she was sent abroad to study, wasn't it just to gain some prestige? How could Xie Zhiyan's life be handed over to her so easily?
Ye Zhanying frowned impatiently and pulled Xie Wanying up from the stool without saying a word.
"Big sister, I think you've recently developed a compulsive paranoia. Comrade Shuying knows so much, she's practically a professional caregiver in the hospital. You can't be of any help here, so don't point fingers!"
"The virtuous should occupy the position, and the capable should prevail. Xie Zhiyan is already so ill. By the time you two settle your dispute, his seven-day mourning period will have passed!"
