Not only did everyone smile at her, nod to her, or greet her, but even the group of female coworkers who used to always surround Zuo Han stopped looking at Chen Yuanyuan with hostility.
The cafeteria lady even gave her an extra spoonful of vegetables with meat, and her hand didn't shake at all; she scooped out five or six large chunks of meat in one spoonful.
Chen Yuanyuan experienced the harsh realities of life that morning.
Her wedding was, after all, presided over by Su Xiangjun, the director of the food factory, which conveyed the idea that "although the Chen family has fallen, Chen Yuanyuan still has powerful backers." Therefore, no one in the factory dared to make things difficult for her anymore.
After all, Zuo Jinxiang and his son Zuo Han, who had attacked her, were already completely finished.
From then on, Chen Yuanyuan's life at the machinery factory returned to normal.
After the wedding, Su Tie returned to his unit the next day, while Su Ruyi boarded a train to Beijing.
Qi Yasheng arrived at the train station early to pick up Su Ruyi and warmly invited her to stay at his home.
Su Ruyi hesitated and said, "Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"
Qi Yasheng smiled and said, "What's inconvenient about that? There are very few people in our family, and the yard is very big. Right now, it's just my sister and her daughter who came back from her new job living together."
Su Ruyi asked in surprise, "Xia Tianxiu has already returned to Beijing?"
Qi Yasheng paused for a moment before replying, "Oh, you mean Qiao Tianyue? Yes, she's already here."
Su Ruyi quickly refused, saying, "No, no, no, I'm perfectly fine staying in a state-run hotel."
Qi Yasheng continued to extend a warm invitation: "Yue'er is a very nice person. Besides, didn't you know her before? You two could keep each other company if you lived together!"
Su Ruyi firmly replied, "No! Thank you for your kindness. I'll stay at the state-run hotel instead."
Qi Yasheng stopped insisting: "Then how about this, I'll arrange for you to stay at the cadre guesthouse!"
This time, Su Ruyi did not refuse.
Su Ruyi was almost filled with regret that Xia Tianxiu returned to Beijing so quickly.
That night, in a split second, she didn't do it, and then her fourth and fifth brothers arrived.
That's such a shame!
Previously, Xia Tianxiu said she would take Su Yin to Beijing, but Su Ruyi didn't hear Qi Yasheng mention Su Yin. Did Su Yin actually come or not?
In fact, Su Yin had already arrived.
Moreover, he has already been admitted to the hospital through Qi Zhao's connections.
The hospital where Su Yin was staying was Beijing Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This hospital has a famous doctor, who is also the hospital's director, Feng Engui, who treated Qi Yuan before.
This person can be considered the number one traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing.
Xia Tianxiu's expectant heart leaped up once again the moment she saw Feng Engui.
Su Yin had been very obedient to Xia Tianxiu throughout the journey. At this moment, Xia Tianxiu told him to put his hand on the pulse pillow, and he obediently did so, though his eyes were wandering aimlessly.
Feng Engui was an old man with white hair, but his hair and beard were very thick, and he also had a snow-white beard, which made him look quite chivalrous.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, that image was completely shattered.
He didn't focus on the patient, but instead turned to Qi Zhao and asked with a smile, "How have you been feeling lately, sir? Are you taking my medicine well?"
Qi Zhao stood up and politely replied, "Grandpa felt that the medicine we changed last time was very good, but his stools were a bit dry."
Feng Engui said, "Yes, that's normal. It's probably because of the season; the solar term is approaching. Here's what I'll do: I'll adjust your grandfather's prescription again later. When you get home, pick up the medicine and be sure to tell your grandfather that your Grandpa Feng has changed his prescription!"
Qi Zhao nodded and smiled again, "Yes, I will definitely convey your words."
Feng Engui pressed his fingers on Su Yin's wrist, but continued to ask Qi Zhao, "Any progress on those medicinal herbs that I asked the old man to find for me last time?"
Qi Zhao shook his head and said, "I came back as soon as I had the patient with me. I haven't seen Grandpa yet."
Feng Engui was somewhat displeased: "Oh, is that so?"
Xia Tianxiu was a little anxious when she saw that Feng Engui was distracted during the pulse diagnosis, but she couldn't say anything and could only stand aside and pretend to want to say something but didn't.
Feng Engui glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked Qi Zhao, "Who is this little girl?" Qi Zhao quickly replied, "This is my sister's biological daughter whom she just recognized! Qiao Tianyue! Yue'er!"
Feng Engui immediately exclaimed "Oh dear!" a few times, personally brought out a stool, brushed the dust off it with his sleeve, and pulled Xia Tianxiu to sit down: "Why didn't you say so earlier? So it's Miss Qiao! My apologies for not recognizing you sooner!"
Xia Tianxiu felt very uncomfortable with his half-classical and half-vernacular words, and reluctantly sat down on half of his buttocks.
Feng Engui then pointed to Su Yin, whose eyes were still darting around: "And who is this?"
Qi Zhao said, "This is Yue'er's boyfriend."
Xia Tianxiu said, "Dr. Feng, I heard that you are the most famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing. Our last hope rests on you. My boyfriend was driven crazy by a high fever. Is there any cure for his illness?"
"Hmm, no, no! Miss Qiao, that's not right! Your sweetheart isn't just running a fever, he's been harmed!" Feng Engui shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Xia Tianxiu and Qi Zhao's expressions both changed.
"Who killed him?" they both asked in unison.
Feng Engui continued to shake his head:
"It's hard to say."
His fever... is really weird...
But it shouldn't cause... brain damage.
Someone must have done something bad while he was delirious with fever!
Think carefully, who went to his bedside when he had a fever?
Did you touch him?
Is there anyone who knows acupuncture, medicine, or incantation techniques?
"Have these extraordinary people ever come close to him?"
"Ah!" Xia Tianxiu exclaimed in surprise, "Su Ruyi!"
"Su Ruyi?"
Feng Engui felt that the name sounded very familiar.
"Su Ruyi! It must be her!" Xia Tianxiu clenched her fists, her eyes wide. "It's her! She did it!"
As she spoke, she looked at Feng Engui with some alarm: "Dr. Feng, are you sure? Is it really true that someone caused my brother Su Yin to become like this?"
Feng Engui stroked his beard: "Of course, my pulse is never wrong."
Xia Tianxiu covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
Qi Zhao cried out in alarm, "Yue'er, Yue'er, don't do this!"
With tears in her eyes, Xia Tianxiu said, "Su Yin's sixth sister, Su Ruyi, is the village doctor. She always treats people with acupuncture. She and Su Yin have a very bad relationship; they are practically irreconcilable! It must be her, it must be her! She always does things so insidiously!"
Feng Engui sighed, "Alas. As a doctor, he has no heart for the world, no heart for his parents! Such a petty person will surely be punished by heaven in the future!"
