Chapter 119: Pressing forward step by step, caught in a dilemma
In the room of the Liu family villa.
The emergency treatment is finally over.
Liu Zongyun's heartbeat gradually recovered, and his breathing stabilized. Old Lady Liu wiped her tears, exhausted after a long night.
Liu Zongquan, the head of the Liu family, said, "Yuerong, help mom back to her room to rest."
"Um."
Yang Yuerong helped the old lady downstairs.
Liu Huimin leaned weakly in Xu Guangyao's arms, her eyes red and swollen from crying: "Brother, the doctor said he won't last much longer, and asked us to prepare for his funeral as soon as possible. What should we do?"
The age gap between her and Liu Zongyun is not big, and their brother-sister relationship is even deeper.
Liu Zongquan felt heavy-hearted. "Perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope with Doctor Xiao Qiao. Mom went to his house and begged him personally, but he refused to help!"
Xu Guangyao comforted him, "Everyone has their own destiny. Perhaps death is a relief for my second brother. He has been lying in bed for so many years and has suffered a lot."
He wished that Liu Zongyun could rest in peace with that secret.
Liu Huimin cried uncontrollably.
Xu Xingluo's eyes flickered as she raised her voice and said, "Uncle, Mom, I have a solution!"
"What method?"
"you say."
The three adults stared at her with different expressions.
Xu Xingluo was gentle and generous, with a beaming expression on her face, and she spoke eloquently.
After a few words.
Xu Guangyao was the first to object: "No! How can we do such a cheap thing! Xingluo, your method won't work!"
Liu Zongquan was silent for a long time and said, "I'll think about it."
On one side is his brother's life, and on the other side is the Liu family's reputation.
Xu Xingluo was a little disappointed that they didn't agree. But she set her sights on Liu Huimin and took advantage of the time she had alone with her on the way home.
She asked tentatively: "Mom, do you want to see your second uncle die?"
"He had an accident when you were giving birth. You said it was your lifelong regret. Don't you want to make up for it?"
"Dad and my eldest uncle care about their reputation, but can Mom bear to see Grandma heartbroken? We'll know if Qiao Xi can be cured after we give it a try. We also don't want my second uncle to die with regrets..."
These words pierced Liu Huimin's heart.
The grief of her loved ones leaving drove her to nod: "Okay! Let's do it without telling them. Honey still has a way. Qiao Xi has to agree no matter how reluctant she is."
Xu Xingluo nestled in her arms and acted coquettishly: "I can't bear to see my second uncle leave either."
"Good boy."
Liu Huimin stroked her hair gently, "Xingluo is my sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket."
"I want to be my mother's cotton-padded jacket for the rest of my life."
…
On the way to the hospital.
Inside the car.
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou several times and said, "Mr. Huo, you also hope that I can reconcile with the Tian family, right?"
"Yeah. Do you feel wronged?"
The man spoke lazily.
Qiao Xi smiled and shook her head: "This little bit of grievance has saved many people's lives. I am quite happy in my heart."
"But Mrs. Tian is generous. One Hope Primary School costs about two million, so fifty would cost one hundred million. This wasn't the condition I originally proposed..."
Huo Xingzhou's mouth corners drooped slightly, and he tapped her nose and said, "She's not generous, but smart."
"Smart?" Qiao Xi frowned, puzzled.
She didn't understand the intricacies of high society, and no one had ever taught her.
Huo Xingzhou, intent on cultivating her thinking, explained, "Agreeing to your terms will only resolve the conflict. So she proposed donating fifty Hope Primary Schools as a stepping stone to the Huo family."
"Connections are more important than money. Besides, both the Tian and Sun families are in real estate, and the Sun family is already on good terms with the Huo family. But the Tian family doesn't have any connections to get close to the Huo family."
Qiao Xi said naively, "So this time the Tian family took the opportunity to befriend the Huo family and turn the crisis into safety."
"This young man is teachable."
Qiao Xi was confused and sighed, "How painstaking!"
What's wrong with the brains of these rich people? No wonder they are so good at making money!
Huo Xingzhou looked into her eyes seriously and said, "One day they will go to great lengths to see you."
Qiao Xi felt warm in her heart and responded heavily, "Yes!"
The driver parked the car in front of the hospital, and Qiao Xi got out briskly: "Mr. Huo, please go to the company quickly! I just got a big order recently, so don't pick me up from get off work."
"Know."
Qiao Xi stood there, watching the car drive away with a smile, and then went into the hospital.
"Dr. Qiao, good morning! This free clinic had a great media impact. I heard the hospital is holding a commendation meeting for you!"
Qiao Xi smiled and asked, "Really? That's pretty good."
She put on a white coat and walked to the clinic.
"Are you here for work? You must be very busy today!" Shu Xue said with a smile, "When you were away, those patients who came here because of your reputation were very disappointed."
Qiao Xi smiled at her and inserted her card to go to work. The 20 numbers available in the morning were all taken in an instant.
She has surpassed Yan Shi'an to become the most sought-after doctor in the Acupuncture and Rehabilitation Department. Some people speculate that in the future Qiao Xi will become the youngest chief physician in history.
"Number 1 Xu Chunlei."
"Next..."
Her clinic was filled with patients waiting for treatment, ranging from minor physical needs to complex illnesses that Western medicine couldn't resolve. All of them wanted a glimmer of hope for their own survival.
Qiao Xi always gives them surprises.
She patiently treated each patient. Near noon, she rubbed her sore neck and clicked on the call system again.
"Number 20, Liu Zongyun..."
The system's mechanical female voice sounded, and Qiao Xi was stunned.
She stood up involuntarily. The name was familiar to her, but there were so many people with the same name in the world, it couldn't be the person she was thinking of.
Liu Zongyun's body was full of tubes, and the Liu family would not risk sending him to the hospital.
"No. 20, Liu Zongyun. Please go to the Acupuncture and Rehabilitation Department to see Dr. Qiao Xi." The mechanical female voice repeated it again.
There was a sudden noise outside the door, the rumbling sound of wheels rolled through the corridor, and two bodyguards in black pushed the bed into the Chinese medicine clinic.
"Number 20 is here."
A woman walked over wearing a slim-fitting cheongsam, with her long hair simply tied up with an agate hairpin, exuding an elegant and luxurious temperament.
"Please, Dr. Qiao, take a look at my second brother." Liu Huimin said lightly.
The corridor was crowded with people watching the fun, and this was the first time someone came to see a Chinese doctor pushing a critically ill patient!
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and looked at Liu Zongyun lying on the simple hospital bed and said, "Ms. Liu, your brother is extremely weak and cannot withstand any bumps. I suggest you send him to the intensive care unit as soon as possible."
Liu Huimin shed tears, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
She followed Xu Xingluo's idea and said, "We've registered and followed the hospital's formal procedures. As a disciple of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, are you going to turn a patient away? He's just a patient to you, but he's my family."
"Doctor Qiao, please come to see me. We in the Liu family don't care about the results."
By saying this, she was roasting Qiao Xi on the fire.
An uninformed passerby said, "Doctor Qiao, just take a look!"
"Maybe the methods left by traditional Chinese medicine can cure it. They pushed the patient here in a vegetative state, so they're taking a gamble. No one will blame you if you can't cure it!"
The weak always receive more sympathy.
Besides, a doctor’s duty is to save lives and heal the wounded.
Qiao Xi clenched her palms tightly, her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and the corners of her eyes trembled slightly.
The Liu family's actions put her in a dilemma.
This is forcing her.
