Chapter 349: No Help
After Li Yiqiu finished speaking, the originally lively living room suddenly became quiet.
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong's faces looked unhappy before they even heard what Li Yiqiu was requesting.
"If there's anything, we'll talk about it later." Old Master Zhong spoke calmly, without any emotion in his voice. "Second son's wife, you've worked hard too. You should go upstairs and rest early!"
As if completely oblivious to Mr. Zhong's expression, Li Yiqiu didn't stand up. Instead, she smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, I know you're worried that I might make some request that would embarrass Nian Yao. I can assure you, this is just a small matter. Moreover, for Nian Yao, this is absolutely the simplest thing."
Hearing Li Yiqiu's confident words, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong's frowns didn't relax at all, but instead deepened. Even when they looked at Li Yiqiu, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes.
"Second son's wife, it seems you are really tired. You have even started talking nonsense." Mrs. Zhong had a faint smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "You should hurry up and get some rest! You have been seriously injured this time. You still need to recuperate before you can recover."
Zhong Mingyu also felt his parents' displeasure, so he took Li Yiqiu's hand and planned to take her upstairs.
However, Li Yiqiu seemed like nothing had happened. She continued to sit there upright, with no intention of getting up.
She even turned her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, "Nianyao, it's just a small matter. I think you will definitely not refuse, right? We are all family."
"Oh!" Zhong Nianyao nodded, and then, under Li Yiqiu's surprised gaze, she continued indifferently, "No, I don't agree..."
This person who did not play by the rules made everyone present speechless.
Li Yiqiu's reaction was a bit loud, and her voice couldn't help but rise a degree. "Why? Nian Yao, you don't even know what I need your help with, why do you just reject me?"
"Because no matter what it is, I'm not going to agree!" Zhong Nianyao's smile was a little nonchalant. "Second aunt, since you've already said it's a request, that means I have the right to refuse. Or are you trying to force me to agree?"
"I didn't." Li Yiqiu quickly shook her head and then spoke directly, "Nian Yao, I'm not asking you for anything else, but about that child. He's also your cousin. Although I don't know who you learned your medical skills from, your medical skills must be very good. If it weren't for you, the child might have been miscarried long ago and wouldn't even have had the chance to be born. Just be a good person and do it to the end!"
"Please go and look after the child. Help him so he can be discharged from the hospital sooner! He's still so young, and he has to endure this torture. As a mother, I feel so bad. That's why I shamelessly came to ask for your help."
When she spoke to the end, Li Yiqiu's eyes couldn't help but turn red, tears were rolling in her eyes but she didn't stay, it was pitiful to see.
However, everyone present was smart and would not be moved by Li Yiqiu's few words and pretense.
Zheng Siling, also a woman, couldn't help but curl her lips after seeing Li Yiqiu's expression, a hint of irony flashing in her eyes. Although she didn't know why Li Yiqiu had staged this scene today, she knew that there must be a purpose.
Otherwise, she could have just gone to Zhong Nianyao privately to say no to such a thing, why bother bringing it up in front of so many people? Wasn't it obvious that she wanted to force Zhong Nianyao to agree in front of so many people?
Unfortunately, my parents didn't seem to be moved at all! Li Yiqiu's wishful thinking today was going to be in vain.
Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Yiqiu and said with a half-smile, "Second Aunt, are you sure you're sane right now? You want me, someone who hasn't even graduated from college and isn't even a medical major, to treat my little cousin? Does that logic make sense to you?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Yiqiu, who was originally acting pitiful, froze. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
As for the others, they also felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Yes! Previously, Zhong Nianyao had saved Li Yiqiu, so everyone assumed that she was a doctor. But no one knew the truth.
Besides, Zhong Nianyao didn’t study medicine in college!
If that's really the case, then Li Yiqiu's request is indeed too much to ask.
"No, this is..." Li Yiqiu did not give up, "Nian Yao, you are obviously..."
"It's clearly something?" Zhong Nianyao smiled innocently. "Second aunt, regardless of whether I was the one who saved you when you nearly had a miscarriage, if I really was the one who saved you, then as the savior of you and your cousin, how are you going to repay me?"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Zhong Mingyu, continuing with a smile, "To be honest, Second Uncle, apart from a few words of thanks, you really didn't take any substantial action! Not only that, after that, I didn't feel that you guys recognized the fact that I saved Second Aunt and my little cousin!"
"After all, no one would treat their savior like that! Especially Zhong Mengxuan's attitude afterwards, doesn't it explain everything?"
These words left Li Yiqiu speechless. Zhong Mingyu beside her blushed even more.
As for Zhong Mengxuan, her expression turned particularly grim. She felt that Zhong Nianyao was hinting at her. However, in this situation, if she spoke, no matter what she said, it would be absolutely wrong.
"But...but..." Li Yiqiu still didn't give up. She hesitated and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
"Second aunt," Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Yiqiu steadily and said, "You have to trust the doctors in the hospital. They will definitely be able to cure my cousin. As for the rest, I really can't help you."
"Nian Yao, how could you be so cruel?" Li Yiqiu was almost in tears. "You clearly had a way to solve the problem, but you chose to stand by and watch. If something really happened to him, would you be able to live with your conscience?"
