Every time Zhao Qingshan gave Wen Yiran acupuncture, Hu Zhongliang would stand by and watch secretly.
Hu Zhongliang felt that he had learned a lot about acupuncture from Zhao Qingshan during this treatment. The next time he encountered a patient similar to Wen Yiran, Hu Zhongliang believed that his success rate in rescuing him would be 10% higher.
Zhao Qingshan taught Hu Zhongliang all he knew about the acupuncture methods of Zhao's medicine. Unfortunately, Hu Zhongliang was too old to practice the "Qi feeling" of Zhao's martial arts.
Zhao Qingshan told him frankly that Zhao's acupuncture techniques could only play their greatest role when combined with Zhao's martial arts. This was the reason why Hu Zhongliang's acupuncture techniques were always a little lacking.
While Hu Zhongliang felt regretful, he was also impressed by Zhao Qingshan's openness. Privately, Hu Zhongliang offered Zhao Qingshan a cup of tea and considered himself Zhao Qingshan's registered disciple.
Early that morning, Feng Xueying rushed to the hospital to pick up Wen Yiran. Wen Yiran had been very cold towards her these past few days, leaving her feeling a bit frightened and angry. Fortunately, Wen Ziqing was taking care of her in the hospital, so Feng Xueying tried to avoid Wen Yiran's presence.
Wen Yiran was discharged from the hospital today. It was neither reasonable nor moral for Feng Xueying to hide any longer.
When he saw Feng Xueying, Wen Yiran did not get angry this time. He just waited calmly for Feng Xueying to go to the inpatient department to settle the bill, and then let Wen Ziqing support him and slowly go downstairs.
A black car was parked downstairs to pick up Wen Yiran. When the driver, Xiao Wang, saw Wen Yiran and his group, he quickly got out of the cab and opened the car door for Wen Yiran.
"Old Wen, the car was specially approved by Mayor Wu. I didn't ask for it." Seeing Wen Yiran hesitated and was unwilling to get in the car, Feng Xueying quickly explained.
Wen Yiran was a principled man. If he wasn't unfit to stand or walk for long periods of time, he wouldn't have taken a car. The car belonged to the municipal government, and the driver was a young man named Xiao Wang. Like the Wen family's nanny, Aunt Liu, he was also a logistics staff member for the municipal government.
Wen Yiran, the city's party secretary, held political views that differed somewhat from Mayor Wu's, and their private relationship wasn't particularly close. Even though the Wen and Wu families lived in the same compound, their families rarely interacted. The last time Wen Ziqing returned to Qingshan City, she encountered Grandma Sun Yuqin, Mayor Wu's wife, upon entering the municipal party committee's family compound.
Unexpectedly, Mayor Wu even sent a car to pick Wen Yiran up when he was discharged from the hospital. While Wen Yiran was surprised, he also became more wary of Mayor Wu. He and Old Wu were unlikely to become close friends in this lifetime, as people with different ideals couldn't work together. However, Wen Yiran appreciated Old Wu's kindness in sending the car.
Xiao Wang is a good driver. The car drove smoothly along the way. After more than ten minutes, the car drove into the compound for the families of the Municipal Party Committee.
When Wen Yiran got out of the car, Xiao Wang parked the car as usual, half-ran to the back seat on the other side, and opened the door for Wen Yiran.
Wen Yiran hunched over and walked out of the car, only to find that Xiao Wang's hand was blocking the roof of the car for him.
This young man is afraid of hitting his head on the roof! He is a careful person. Wen Yiran nodded secretly.
After Xiao Wang and the others got off the bus, he declined Feng Xueying's invitation to go to her house for a drink of water and drove back to the Municipal Party Committee office to report to Mayor Wu. These days, gossip about Feng Xueying has spread throughout the logistics team, claiming that Aunt Liu from the logistics team had somehow offended Feng Xueying and was kicked out of the Wen family. Aunt Liu was diligent and cautious, and Feng Xueying wasn't even satisfied with her?
The logistics group is under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Party Committee Secretariat, and the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee is Feng Xueying's son Wen Yuxiang.
Wen Yuxiang was also troubled by Aunt Liu's dismissal. He knew that his mother Feng Xueying had a bad temper in the past two years, but he didn't expect Feng Xueying to be so bad as to argue with a housekeeper.
These days, Wen Yiran was admitted to the hospital. Wen Yuxiang was busy with work on the one hand and visiting his father in the hospital on the other hand, so he became slack in arranging the domestic staff for the Wen family.
Due to Wen Yuxiang's negligence, Feng Xueying's reputation in the logistics team plummeted. Secretary Wen's home, which was once so popular, now became a place that the logistics staff avoided.
Xiao Wang had also heard about Aunt Liu, so he was not so tactless as to take Feng Xueying's invitation seriously even though he knew it was just a courtesy.
After Xiao Wang left, Wen Yiran avoided the hand that Feng Xueying offered to support him, and held Wen Ziqing's shoulders and slowly walked into the house.
Zhao Qingshan pretended not to notice Feng Xueying's aggrieved expression, tears welling up in her eyes, and followed Wen Yiran into the house. Honestly, if Wen Yiran's illness hadn't been completely unbearable due to Zhao Qingshan's acupuncture, Zhao Qingshan really wouldn't have wanted to set foot in the Wen family's home. Just thinking about sharing the same roof with that pretentious Feng Xueying all day was making Zhao Qingshan feel queasy.
Wen Ziqing carefully helped Wen Yiran sit on the sofa, boiled some water and poured a cup for Wen Yiran, then took Zhao Qingshan upstairs to settle him down.
Without Aunt Liu at home, I had to do everything myself. If Aunt Liu was still at the Wen family, she would have cleaned up the guest room early in the morning.
Expecting Feng Xueying to clean the guest rooms? That was out of the question. Aunt Liu had been working at the Wen family for five years, and she was so good at everything that Feng Xueying had practically forgotten about housework.
Wen Yiran's illness still requires Zhao Qingshan to treat with acupuncture for a few days. For Wen Yiran's sake, even though Zhao Qingshan and Wen Ziqing are eager to go home, they have to stay in Qingshan City for a while longer.
After Wen Ziqing and Zhao Qingshan left, only the old couple Wen Yiran and Feng Xueying were left downstairs.
When Wen Yiran was silent, he looked rather serious. Feng Xueying glanced at him furtively, trying to find a hint of thawing from his expression.
The result was of course disappointing. Wen Yiran pursed his lips and sat there quietly, as if he wanted to sit there forever.
"Old Wen, how long are you going to be angry?" Seeing that Wen Yiran had no intention of paying any attention to her, Feng Xueying had no choice but to shamelessly go over and start something to talk about.
Wen Yiran glanced at Feng Xueying and said nothing. Over the years, he had spoiled his old lady so much that she had grown old and no one knew where she was. He should be thankful to be alive today. If he hadn't made it this time, with such an unreliable parent like the old lady around, the future of the Wen family's children would be in jeopardy!
Wen Yiran recalled a scene in the ward a few days ago.
Although Wen Yiran couldn't move or speak, he could hear everything that happened in the ward. Hearing Feng Xueying mocking his lifelong brother Zhao Qingshan in a sarcastic tone, Wen Yiran wanted to jump out of bed.
"Old Wen, we have been husband and wife for decades. Are you really going to break up with me because of my unintentional slip of the tongue?" Feng Xueying's tone was a little tearful. She really didn't understand why Wen Yiran was so angry this time. Hadn't Old Wen always been the one who supported her the most over the years?
