"Are you really Quanyou's youngest son?" This time, Old Mu had no choice but to believe it.
"It's absolutely true, sir."
"Hey, tell me, how come this kid is getting younger and younger!"
Everyone in the ward, whether it was Old Mu's son and daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law, grandchildren and staff, could only manage a wry smile.
You are old, you were once a leader, and you are also an elder, so it's not a problem for you to criticize others.
They don't have the guts.
Li Chu chatted with Old Mu for a while longer, and seeing that he was starting to feel sleepy again, he told him to rest well and that he could be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate the next day.
"Dean Li, shall we take a walk downstairs together?"
Upon hearing Mu Hongjun's invitation, Li Chu was slightly taken aback, but then nodded and said, "Alright, Director Mu, please!"
In the stairwell, the Mu family members who had seen Li Chu off were standing at the door.
A woman who looked to be in her forties nudged the man beside her and asked, "Mu Bin, did our dad know Dean Li before?"
"They should know each other. I don't know, but I heard Dean Li say that he knows Grandma, so it's normal that they knew each other before."
"Then why didn't Dad ask Dean Li to come and treat Grandpa at the beginning?"
Before Mu Bin could say anything, Mu Hongjun's wife spoke up from the other side.
“I know that. It’s because your dad is prejudiced against traditional Chinese medicine. Your grandma passed away because of traditional Chinese medicine. Ever since then, your dad has been disgusted by traditional Chinese medicine.”
Moreover, if it weren't for the superior's request, they probably wouldn't have summoned Dean Li.
After hearing his mother's explanation, Mu Bin and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment.
That reason is a bit far-fetched. Just because of that incident, they look down on the entire field of traditional Chinese medicine. It just shows that their father is a bit willful.
The young girl who had been supporting Mu Hongjun's wife spoke up at this moment: "Grandma, I think this Dean Li is not as old as my dad."
"This child has no manners!" Mu Hongjun's wife raised her hand and slapped the young girl's hand.
Even your dad has to call him "uncle".
"Then I'll have to call him grandpa all the time!"
"And what do you think?"
The group walked into the ward as they talked.
There were also two men and two women who looked quite young, but they stood outside without moving.
The four of them hadn't said a word, and after the family went inside, they just glanced at each other.
In the courtyard downstairs, Li Chu and Mu Hongjun were walking slowly side by side.
"Li Chu, thank you!"
"You're too kind, Director Mu. It's my duty!"
Looking at Li Chu's aloof and distant smile, Mu Hongjun gave a wry smile.
"What happened back then was indeed my fault. Could you please apologize to your sister on my behalf?"
"Director Mu, you've got it wrong. You, me, and my sister are all comrades. There's no question of 'apologizing' or 'being worthy'."
Seeing that Mu Hongjun was about to say something, Li Chu simply raised his hand and held it up in front of him.
"Director Mu, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I'll make sure to attend your follow-up appointments on time. Please stay!"
After saying that, Li Chu didn't give Mu Hongjun a chance to speak again and strode away.
Mu Hongjun stood there, staring blankly at Li Chu who had already walked away, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh.
The reason why Mu Hongjun didn't invite Li Chu or even other traditional Chinese medicine doctors when Mu Lao fell ill this time was not at all what his wife said.
That was just an excuse he used to cover it up.
The real reason was that he didn't know how to face Li Chu, or rather, he didn't know how to face Li Qin's younger brother.
What Grandpa Wu previously thought was due to Elder Shen was actually incorrect.
Li Chu was well aware of why the Mu family, or Mu Hongjun, hadn't invited him to treat the old man.
Why?
Because Mu Hongjun had a relationship with Li Qin when he was in Nanniwan. Although it was a secret and many people, including their parents, did not know about it, Li Qin had told her younger brother about it.
The reason they broke up later was also quite absurd.
When Li Chu's parents were in Nanniwan, they worked in the Political Security Department of the headquarters, and their main job was to catch spies infiltrating the organization.
It's inevitable to offend people in this line of work.
Mu Hongjun heard bad things about Li Chu's parents from somewhere.
In addition, he was young and impetuous at that time, and he looked down on people who worked in political security, believing that soldiers should go to the front line to kill the enemy.
That's why he broke up with Li Qin.
He also said he wouldn't date his daughter who was a spy.
Li Qin cried all day after going home.
Li Chu was raised by Li Qin, so you could say that his sister was his Achilles' heel.
You made my sister cry all day, that's unacceptable.
At that time, Li Chu, who was only eight years old, along with Wang Jun and Wang Bing, as well as Jiang Cheng, took advantage of the darkness to knock Mu Hongjun unconscious with a club.
They also broke one of his legs as a bonus.
Mu Hongjun was too embarrassed to make a fuss after being injured by four children whose average age was less than eight. He only said that he had accidentally fallen and that after recovering from his injury, he joined a military unit.
Only the five of them knew about this from beginning to end.
When Li Qin heard that Mu Hongjun was injured, she suspected her younger brother, but Li Chu never admitted it, so the matter was dropped.
fantuantanshu.
This is the real reason why Mu Hongjun was too embarrassed to visit Li Chu when his father was seriously ill.
He was worried that they might still be plotting revenge against him.
Actually, he was overthinking it. Even if Li Chu still held a grudge against him, it wouldn't affect his ability to treat Elder Mu.
There are fewer and fewer of these older generation people. They dedicated so much to the country when they were young, and Li Chu would never mix public and private matters.
He will absolutely not hold back once he is assigned to treat the patient.
Mu Hongjun was judging others by his own petty standards.
After watching Li Chu walk away, Mu Hongjun turned around and walked towards the special needs building.
When he got to the second floor, his half-brother was standing at the top of the stairs smoking.
"Jiefang, you've been waiting for me here, haven't you?"
"Brother, I want to ask you something!"
"you say!"
Mu Hongjun felt a little strange. He and his stepmother's two children didn't have a very good relationship; they were just nodding acquaintances.
Because the age gap is so large, he is even a few years younger than his son, Mu Bin.
"Big brother, what's your relationship with that Dean Li like?"
? ? ?
Why are you asking this?
"Hehe! I was thinking, could you help me talk to Dean Li and ask him to take your nephew Xiaoqiang as his apprentice?"
Why would they accept your son as their apprentice? Is it because your son is fat, or because your son doesn't like to study?
Mu Hongjun silently complained to himself.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this. Putting aside whether Dean Li is willing to take on apprentices, even if he wanted to, he would have to go through the organizational procedures. Do you think you can just say a few words?"
