Chapter 119: Pressing forward step by step, caught in a dilemma
In the room of Liu family villa.
The emergency rescue is finally over.
Liu Zongyun's heartbeat gradually recovered and his breathing became stable. Old Mrs. Liu wiped her tears, exhausted after a whole 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 long, and asked us to prepare for his funeral as soon as possible. What should we do!"
There was little age difference between her and Liu Zongyun, and their brother-sister relationship was even deeper.
Liu Zongquan was in a heavy mood: "Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope with Doctor Xiao Qiao. Mom went to beg him in person, but he was unwilling 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 hoped that Liu Zongyun could rest in peace with that secret.
Liu Huimin cried uncontrollably.
Xu Xingluo's eyes moved, and he said loudly: "Uncle, Mom, I have a way!"
"What can we do?"
"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 spoke eloquently.
After these words were spoken.
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 then said, "I'll think about it again."
On one hand, it was my brother's life, on the other hand, it was the Liu family's reputation.
Xu Xingluo was a little disappointed that they didn't agree. But she turned her attention to Liu Huimin and took advantage of the time she was 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 that this 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 my grandmother so heartbroken? We'll know if Qiao Xi can be cured by giving it a try. We also don't want my second uncle to die with regrets..."
These words pierced Liu Huimin's heart.
Driven by the grief of her loved one's departure, she nodded: "Okay! We will do it without telling them. After all, the baby has a way. Qiao Xi has to agree no matter how reluctant she is."
Xu Xing fell into her arms and acted coquettishly: "I also don't want my second uncle to leave."
"Good boy."
Liu Huimin stroked her hair tenderly, "Xingluo is my intimate little cotton-padded jacket."
"I want to be my mother's quilted sweater for the rest of my life."
…
On the road to the hospital.
In the car.
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou for a few 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. The cost of building one Hope Primary School is about two million, and fifty schools would cost one hundred million. This was not the condition I originally proposed..."
Huo Xingzhou's mouth corners sank slightly, and he tapped her nose and said, "She is 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 wanted to cultivate her thinking, and explained: "Agreeing to your conditions can only resolve the conflict. So she proposed to donate 50 Hope Primary Schools as a stepping stone to the Huo family."
"Connections are more important than money. Besides, both the Tian family and the Sun family are in the real estate business, and the Sun family is already on good terms with the Huo family. But the Tian family has no way to get close to the Huo family."
Qiao Xi said ignorantly: "So this time the Tian family took the opportunity to befriend the Huo family and turned danger into safety."
"Ruzi is teachable."
Qiao Xi was stunned and exclaimed, "What a painstaking effort!"
What's the structure of these rich people's heads? 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 meet you."
Qiao Xi felt warm in her heart and responded heavily, "Yes!"
The driver parked the car at the entrance of the hospital, and Qiao Xi got out of the car with brisk steps: "Mr. Huo, you should hurry to the company! 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 on her face, and then went into the hospital.
"Dr. Qiao, good morning! The media response to this free clinic was very good. I heard that the hospital is going to hold a commendation ceremony for you!"
Qiao Xi asked with a smile: "Really? That's pretty good."
She put on a white coat and went 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 in the morning were all taken in an instant.
She has surpassed Yan Shian to become the most sought-after doctor in the acupuncture and rehabilitation department. Some people speculate that Qiao Xi will become the youngest chief physician in history in the future.
"No. 1 Xu Chunlei."
"The next one..."
Outside her clinic, there were many patients waiting for treatment, ranging from minor physical treatments to major diseases that Western medicine could not solve. All of them wanted to have a glimmer of hope for themselves.
Qiao Xi always gives them surprises.
She patiently treated every patient. As noon approached, she rubbed her sore neck and clicked on the call system again.
"Number 20, Liu Zongyun..."
The system's mechanical female voice rang out, and Qiao Xi was stunned.
She stood up involuntarily. She was familiar with the name, 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.
"Number 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 commotion outside the door, the sound of a cart rumbling past the corridor, and two bodyguards in black pushed the bed into the Chinese medicine clinic.
"Number 20 is here."
A woman came over wearing a slim-fitting cheongsam, with her long hair simply tied up with an agate hairpin, exuding an elegant and noble temperament.
"Please, Dr. Qiao, take a look at my second brother." Liu Huimin said lightly.
The corridor was packed with people watching the excitement, and this was the first person to come here pushing a critically ill patient to see a Chinese doctor!
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, looked at Liu Zongyun who was lying on the simple hospital bed and said, "Ms. Liu, your brother is extremely weak and cannot be shaken. 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 have registered and followed the formal procedures of the hospital. As a disciple of traditional Chinese medicine, are you going to turn away the patient? He is just a patient to you, but he is my relative."
"Doctor Qiao, please come and see me. We in the Liu family don't care what the result is."
By saying this, she was roasting Qiao Xi on the fire.
A passerby who didn't know the inside story said, "Doctor Qiao, just take a look!"
"Maybe the remedies left by traditional Chinese medicine can cure it. They're pushing a vegetative patient here, and they're throwing everything they can at it. 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 the dying and heal the wounded.
Qiao Xi clenched her palms tightly, her legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, and the corners of her eyes trembled slightly.
The Liu family's behavior put her in a dilemma.
This is forcing her.
