Back in the living room, she suddenly lost the desire to watch the show.
She lay on the sofa for a while, then changed her shoes and went downstairs to bother Xiao Muyu.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Muyu was not at home.
Xu Feng said, "Don't mention it, Xiaoyu is in the hospital."
"The hospital?" Jiang Xiaoli asked hurriedly, "What happened to Xiaoyu?"
Xu Feng shrugged. "Is Xiao Li alright now? If she is, come with me to call Xiao Yu home. You'll see when we get there."
Seeing that her expression showed no tension but only a hint of helplessness, Jiang Xiaoli was a little curious. "Sure, no problem, I'll go with you!"
Xu Feng brought Jiang Xiaoli to the emergency department of Xiehe Hospital. "Xiaoli, can you help me find where Xiaoyu is?"
Jiang Xiaoli wandered around the emergency room with a head full of questions, and finally found herself next to an old doctor in a white coat.
She saw Xiao Muyu talking to the old doctor, so she waited nearby.
"Xiao Li?" Xiao Muyu was a little surprised to see her. She looked down at her watch. "It's almost 9 o'clock, Professor Gu. I'm really sorry, I have to go home now."
Professor Gu glanced at Jiang Xiaoli and then at Xiao Muyu, smiling warmly. "Alright, come over whenever you have time."
After politely saying goodbye to him, Xiao Muyu took Jiang Xiaoli's arm and walked out. "Xiaoli, what brings you here?"
Jiang Xiaoli tugged at her arm and turned her around, saying, "Aunt Xu is still inside!"
The two of them went back and called Xu Feng. Only then did Xiao Muyu explain, "I was just bored. I did some pre-studying of my freshman year courses at home, and then I thought I'd go to the hospital in the afternoon. Since it wasn't convenient to observe in other departments, I went to the emergency department."
Xu Feng knew that her daughter had come home for lunch in the afternoon and then came to the hospital in the evening. "I know that, so what happened?"
Xiao Muyu smiled and said, "I spent the afternoon and evening wandering around the emergency department. Today, Professor Gu happened to be on duty in the emergency department, and he noticed me and called me over for a chat."
Jiang Xiaoli was curious, "Is this Professor Gu a professor at Peking Union Medical College?"
Xiao Muyu was pleasantly surprised. She nodded and said, "Yes, Professor Gu is a figure who appears in medical textbooks. He's very capable! I just didn't expect him to be so approachable."
She recalled Professor Gu's demeanor earlier, "He was indeed quite approachable, but why would a professor of his caliber need to be on duty in the emergency room all by himself?"
Xiao Muyu explained, "That's what makes Professor Gu so amazing. He always says that medicine is meant to serve patients, so he insists on seeing patients and even takes the initiative to rotate through the emergency department."
After hearing her daughter's introduction, Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh, "If only there were more good doctors like this."
Jiang Xiaoli said with a grin, "Auntie, I saw that Professor Gu really liked Xiaoyu just now, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed her calling her over to talk. Our Xiaoyu will be just as amazing in the future!"
Xiao Muyu was a little excited, her face slightly flushed, "I will work hard towards this goal!"
Xu Feng said with a smile, "Our Xiaoyu will definitely succeed."
When they returned to Heyuan, they ran into Xiao Jincheng, who had just come home, in the parking lot. "Hey, where have you three been?"
Jiang Xiaoli parked the car. "Your daughter went to the hospital for an inspection and observation. Aunt Xu and I are going to pick up the future medical expert and take her home."
Xiao Jincheng laughed heartily, "Little Pear, you don't know, among the people around me, when they heard that Xiaoyu got into Peking Union Medical College, they were all green with envy! My daughter really made me proud!"
Xiao Muyu was a little embarrassed, "Dad, please stop spreading this outside!"
Xiao Jincheng was displeased. "So what! I didn't lie. My daughter is amazing! None of those rough kids are as successful as you and Xiaoli."
He wasn't satisfied with what he said, "If you guys weren't in such a hurry to go to Great Britain, I would have thrown a huge banquet in Xi'an and Kyoto for several days!"
Xiao Muyu couldn't help but rub her forehead. She took Jiang Xiaoli's arm and walked ahead, saying, "It's a good thing we went to Great Britain, otherwise we would have had a lot of fun."
Jiang Xiaoli didn't think so. "Uncle Xiao is right. What's wrong with talking about the fact that you worked so hard to get into Peking Union Medical College?"
"It's not that I can't say," Xiao Muyu said hesitantly. "Getting into Peking Union Medical College is just the beginning. The future is the most important thing. If I get in but can't learn the material and graduate, I'll be nothing. That would be so embarrassing!"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "You! You always think too far ahead. I believe that with your passion for medicine and your diligence, you won't be nothing after you graduate!"
She added, "Dean Xiao, you need to have confidence in yourself!"
Xiao Muyu smiled slightly, "This time when I went to Britain, I visited Jiang's Hospital and the Medical Research Institute. I really feel that I still have so much to learn. Maybe I will be more confident when I have learned more."
Jiang Xiaoli put her arm around her shoulder and pressed the elevator button. "If only we could balance things out a bit, I'd be too confident and you'd be too modest."
Xiao Jincheng overheard her words from behind. "Little Pear is doing great. But Xiaoyu, we've studied so hard for so many years. Like Little Pear said, you should be more confident! Dad believes you'll definitely be a good doctor in the future!"
Seeing how supportive they were, Xiao Muyu smiled and cheered herself on, "Thank you, Xiaoli, thank you, Mom and Dad, I'll do my best."
The elevator doors opened on the 26th floor, and Li Guizhi was reaching out to press the doorbell.
When she saw them, she smiled and said, "When I got home, Xiaoli wasn't there. She didn't bring her phone with her either, so I guessed she must have gone visiting somewhere. When I came downstairs, I found out she was."
Jiang Xiaoli hugged her arm, "Mom, how are you so clever!"
Li Guizhi glanced at her with amusement. "Don't flatter me. Do you think I won't nag you about the snacks you've laid out on the coffee table? You're just putting them out there without eating them. Are you trying to look good?"
She explained, "Hehe, if I want to eat a snack at 6 o'clock, I won't feel like eating it at 7 o'clock!"
Li Guizhi was speechless. "You always have so many fallacies!"
She turned to the three members of the Xiao family and said, "You all go home. I'll take her back and clean up her mess!"
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Back home, Jiang Xiaoli obediently packed up her snack set, which she had laid out earlier for watching TV dramas. Li Guizhi checked it and was satisfied before letting her leave.
