Aunt Wang was gone just like that? Wu Xiuli and her daughter were dumbfounded.
I didn't expect Aunt Wang to be so angry. After just a few words to her, she threw up her hands and walked away? Is the world changing too fast and they can't keep up? Or is this Aunt Wang so well-connected that she doesn't even care about the Wen family?
Wu Xiuli opened her mouth, wanting to complain to her daughter, but then thought of her son beside her and swallowed her words back. Ziyun had seen everything that had just happened. If she scolded Wen Ziqiu now, both children might become estranged from her.
Besides, Wu Xiuli was more worried about the pile of things to do at home after Aunt Wang left. Would Wen Yiran and Wen Yulong get angry when they got home?
Wen Ziqiu felt a bit bewildered when she saw Aunt Wang leave so quickly. After all, she was only twelve years old, and the words she cursed at Aunt Wang hadn't crossed her mind at all. She just said whatever came to her mind.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang, who looked so smiling, actually had a bad temper. Wen Ziqiu felt a tinge of regret. If Aunt Wang left like that, Grandpa Wen Yiran would definitely ask what happened. Wouldn't all the good behavior she had shown Grandpa over the years have been in vain?
Wu Xiuli and Wen Ziqiu were each thinking about their own things and didn't care about being picky about food. They picked up the steamed buns on the plates with their chopsticks and stuffed them into their mouths.
Wen Ziyun was speechless. He went to the kitchen to get a bowl of porridge, brought it to the table, and quickly ate it. Wen Ziyun didn't understand what was going on between his mother and sister. He had just entered his grandfather's house and angered his grandfather's housekeeper and left. Who knows what will happen if his grandfather finds out?
Ten minutes later, Wu Xiuli, her mother, and her two children, carrying some canned goods and other gifts, were already standing outside the gate of the Municipal Party Committee's family compound. Wu Xiuli insisted on taking the children to the hospital to see Feng Xueying first, and then taking care of the housework when she returned. The two younger children had no choice but to accompany Wu Xiuli on the road to the People's Hospital.
At Qingshan People's Hospital, Wen Yiran and Wen Yulun had just walked to the entrance of the inpatient department when they were stopped by people sent by Hu Zhongliang to find him.
Hu Zhongliang had been nearly beside himself with worry these past few days. After Feng Xueying was rushed to the hospital, she had become increasingly older and thinner. Hu Zhongliang felt her pulse and found both Qi and blood deficiency. X-rays and blood tests couldn't reveal anything wrong with Feng Xueying.
Feng Xueying was in a very bad mood. Every day except for eating and going to the bathroom, she would lie in bed drowsy.
Hu Zhongliang gave Feng Xueying a glucose injection, which had a slightly better effect. Yesterday, Feng Xueying felt a little better and could walk a few steps on her own. However, the situation was not optimistic. After using the restroom alone, Feng Xueying saw a figure in the mirror, which frightened her and she screamed.
Feng Xueying was frightened by herself in the mirror. She had never imagined that one day she would become so ugly, with a pale and bluish complexion, and most importantly, full of wrinkles.
When she was young, Feng Xueying was beautiful, and her beauty brought her confidence and pride. After she turned fifty, Feng Xueying was still very concerned about her image. The disheveled look in the mirror made Feng Xueying faint in anger.
The hospital was in turmoil again. Hu Zhongliang learned about Feng Xueying's behavior before she fainted and gave her a sedative. Hu Zhongliang had witnessed the changes in Feng Xueying over the past few days. Although he didn't like Feng Xueying's personality, he felt sorry for her.
On the day Feng Xueying was admitted to the hospital, Wen Yiran called Kyoto and asked his uncle Wen Jingtao to find some extraordinary people to come and see Feng Xueying. Even Hu Zhongliang couldn't help Feng Xueying's illness, so Wen Yiran had to make plans early.
Although Wen Yiran does not believe in God or Buddha, he cannot help but think about Feng Xueying's situation.
Hu Zhongliang was looking for Wen Yiran because the person Wen Jingtao had been looking for had arrived in Qingshan City. As soon as he got off the train, he didn't even go to the Wen family, but went straight to the People's Hospital.
Hu Zhongliang was Feng Xueying's attending physician, and he certainly couldn't let a stranger treat her. Zhao Qingshan was an exception last time; Hu Zhongliang had witnessed Zhao Qingshan's medical skills firsthand. But this stranger, whom Hu Zhongliang had no idea who he was, he certainly wouldn't let him into the ward.
The stranger saw Hu Zhongliang stopping him, but he didn't care. He went to Hu Zhongliang's office and sat down. Then he asked Hu Zhongliang to send someone to Wen's house to look for him. The stranger said that he only had half an hour. If he didn't see Wen Yiran in half an hour, he would return to Kyoto.
Hu Zhongliang was furious at the stranger, but he didn't dare delay Wen Yiran's business, so he sent a few people to look for Wen Yiran. It happened that Wen Yiran came to the hospital and was stopped and invited to Hu Zhongliang's office.
When Wen Yiran walked into Hu Zhongliang's office, he saw an old man in his sixties with gray hair sitting on Hu Zhongliang's special chair. Hu Zhongliang stood aside, angry but not daring to say anything.
"Secretary Wen, I've long heard of your name." When the old man saw Wen Yiran, he stood up from his chair and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Wen Yiran.
"Are you... Butler Zhou?" Wen Yiran exclaimed in surprise as he recognized the old man. If Zhou Zhixin and Zhou Yuanyuan were here, they would recognize this old man as someone they had met once before in Sanhe Town. Zhou Yuanyuan had seen the old man sneakily following Zhou Zhixin and had knocked him unconscious and left him in a corner.
Of course, Butler Zhou's real name is not Butler Zhou, but Zhou Xi. However, people who know Zhou Xi usually don't call him by his real name, but call him Butler Zhou.
Steward Zhou is a subordinate of General Zhou, the current supreme commander of the Huaxia Dynasty's army. Legend has it that Zhou Xi was sold to the Zhou family by his parents at a young age to serve as General Zhou's study companion. When foreign enemies invaded Huaxia, General Zhou abandoned his literary career to join the army, and Zhou Xi remained by his side.
After the founding of China, Zhou Xi could have held any position in an important state department with his military achievements, but Zhou Xi refused. From the day he became General Zhou's servant, Zhou Xi gave his life to General Zhou. He would rather be General Zhou's housekeeper and take care of Zhou family affairs.
In Kyoto, few people of status didn't know Zhou Xi. Especially in recent years, with General Zhou's poor health, Zhou Xi had taken care of many of the Zhou family's affairs. It could be said that in Kyoto, Zhou Xi represented General Zhou's face.
"Yes, I am Zhou Xi." When Butler Zhou saw that Wen Yiran recognized him, he did not hide his identity.
Zhou Xi had a fortuitous experience when he was young, so he might be able to alleviate Feng Xueying's condition.
If Wen Jingtao hadn't personally called General Zhou, and Zhou Xi had just witnessed Feng Xueying's unique "illness" decades ago, he wouldn't have come. Treating Feng Xueying's "illness" each time also came at a cost for Zhou Xi.
