Chapter 29 I'm looking for Mu Yan
That afternoon, Mu Yan received a call from He Fan.
After Shang Qiyue dropped him off at home, he went back to work. When his phone rang, Mu Yan instinctively suspected it was Lu Chong calling.
Lu Chong had contacted him many times these past few days, and Mu Yan didn't understand why Lu Chong was acting as if he couldn't live without him after they had no relationship anymore.
Fortunately, this time it wasn't.
After the phone rang once, Mu Yan quickly answered it.
“Brother Xiaoyan,” He Fan’s familiar voice rang out, “How is Auntie’s situation? I went to Country A yesterday and I’m still adjusting to the time difference after getting off the plane, so I haven’t seen the news. 150,000? I’ll transfer it to you now.”
Mu Yan's mind went blank for a moment.
For a moment, he couldn't say a word.
Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him.
When he had already sold himself, his old friends offered a belated helping hand.
"Brother, are you alright? I'm sorry," He Fan said hesitantly. "Actually... I saw the news when I got off the plane, but I didn't have 150,000 yuan on me at the time, so I was embarrassed to tell you. I just managed to scrape together the money now."
Mu Yan opened his mouth, but for a moment it seemed as if something was stuck in his throat, preventing him from speaking.
"Xiao Fan," he said with difficulty after a long pause, "thank you, thank you so much. I'm at my current..."
"Have you raised the money yet?" He Fan asked understandingly. "I'm sorry, brother, it was my vanity that made me not reply to your message in time. It's good that you've raised the money. I'll pay it back to my friends."
"Thank you," Mu Yan said, her voice choked with emotion. "It's nothing, thank you anyway..."
"It's good that Auntie is alright." He Fan smiled. "I'll talk to you later, a friend invited me to go skiing. Goodbye, Brother Xiao Yan."
Mu Yan said goodbye to He Fan and stared blankly at the chat box.
It was his own decision to go find Shang Qiyue. Rather than attributing it to something inexplicable like fate, it was more accurate to say it was his own choice.
Mr. Shang is a very kind person. He helped me and never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. He was even willing to send my mother to dialysis.
There's no need to... act like a prostitute while pretending to be virtuous.
Mu Yan's leg injury had been almost completely healed by Sunday, when his mother had scheduled a medical check-up.
My brother came too. He said he accompanied our mother to her medical check-up, and the whole family would go out for a local chicken hot pot for lunch.
"Oh, why would you spend that money to buy a chicken and stew it at home? It's the same thing."
"It's a rare treat," Mu Yan said with a smile, looking up from looking down at the report. "I think that restaurant's stewed chicken is really different from the one I make at home."
"Mom, look, this time Yan Yan insisted on eating it."
Mu Yan's BMI was very low, and the doctor said she needed to pay more attention to nutrition. Her blood pressure and blood sugar were both fine, so Mu Yan felt relieved.
The physical examination went smoothly and was completed before noon. If Shang Qiyue wanted to come over for dinner in the evening, he could go grocery shopping after lunch.
Emerging from the electrocardiogram room, Mu Yan walked with her brother and mother down the busy hospital corridor, holding the report in her hand, towards Director Zhang's office.
I don't know if it was because Shang Qiyue made a call, but yesterday Director Zhang called him and said that he could come over to see the report after the physical examination.
"The overall condition is relatively stable, but the kidney function indicators have slightly decreased compared to the last time," Director Zhang said, sitting behind his desk and reviewing his mother's medical examination report with a focused and meticulous expression. "The dialysis frequency still needs to be maintained, and we also need to pay more attention to nutrition."
Lin Yi nodded and was about to ask a question when the door to the consultation room was suddenly pushed open and slammed against the wall with a dull thud.
"Where's the doctor? What does your hospital mean?! Are you only satisfied if my grandmother dies here?" A man stormed in angrily, followed by two equally agitated family members.
"Professor, I'm sorry, I didn't manage to calm the patient's family down," Mu Yan looked up and saw a young omega doctor rushing in. She was clearly on the verge of tears, but she was trying her best to remain calm. "Family member, please calm down. I can explain to you slowly."
Director Zhang frowned, put down the report in his hand, and said calmly, "Calm down first. We can communicate properly about any problems."
He looked at the young girl and gestured for her not to be afraid, and to come behind him first.
As the young girl walked over, Director Zhang asked her something in a low voice. The girl nodded, and Director Zhang's expression softened.
Mu Yan guessed that security must have already been called, but it would take a little while for them to arrive.
"Communication?" The man slammed his hand on the table, his eyes bloodshot, his tone arrogant. "My grandmother could get out of bed and walk when she came a week ago, but now she's lying in bed and can't even eat! Tell me, what happened? Did you make a mistake in your treatment?"
"The change in the situation requires analysis of the patient's specific medical history; we can arrange further examinations—"
"Examinations? All you ever do is examine patients! You're constantly drawing blood and doing CT scans, spending tons of money, and what's the result? Absolutely useless!" The man's tone grew increasingly agitated as he pointed at Director Zhang and angrily cursed, "You doctors only know how to swindle money; you don't care about patients' lives at all!"
Startled by the sudden roar, Lin Yi frowned, pulled her to his side, and gently comforted her, "Mom, don't be afraid."
Mu Yan raised her head slightly and glanced at Director Zhang, only to find that his expression remained calm and unaffected by the other party's anger.
“If you have any objections to the treatment plan, you can appeal to the medical affairs department, and we will arrange a review and expert consultation.” Director Zhang’s voice remained calm. “But if you are causing trouble now, I can only let the hospital security handle it.”
"Are you threatening me?" The man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he reached out to grab Director Zhang's collar. "Do you know who my father is?"
Lin Yi almost instinctively reached for his younger brother's hand, wanting to tell him not to get involved in this, but it was too late.
Director Zhang had indeed helped their family a lot, but even though that man was a beta, he was still tall and strong. Lin Yi still had his own selfish motives and didn't want his younger brother to take any risks.
Mu Yan strode over and stood between Director Zhang and the man, saying, "Sir, please calm down. I'm also a patient's family member, and I understand how you feel. Director Zhang has been at this hospital for many years and has always had a very good reputation. Is there some misunderstanding? Please sit down and talk it over..."
......
A private research institute in City A.
It's more like Shang Qiyue's private clinic than a research institute, because the institute mainly studies his rare pheromone disorder.
"The situation has improved, which may be a sign of improvement, but it could also be normal fluctuation. Have you tried to contact an omega?"
Shang Qiyue shook his head, and the doctor brought him a perfume-like bottle, sprayed the liquid inside onto a fragrance test strip, and handed it to him.
Shang Qiyue frowned after just one sniff.
"Still feeling unwell? This is already a very high-grade omega pheromone extract."
The higher the grade of omega pheromones, the more pleasant they smell to ordinary alphas.
Unfortunately, Shang Qiyue was not an ordinary alpha. Whether it was Longjing tea-scented pheromones or jasmine-scented pheromones, he just felt disgusted.
"This is the third course of treatment, sir. Would you like to continue, or would you like to try a different treatment?"
“I remember you mentioned a beta who could smell pheromones last time. I discussed it with my mentor, and it might be a good starting point.”
"Let's continue with the original treatment. We're already on the penultimate course. What if the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change?" Shang Qiyue said lazily, leaning back on the sofa.
Compared to doctors who are eager to find research results and publish papers, this patient seems to care little about his illness.
The doctor thought to himself that this rich kid who studied abroad was really brainless. He didn't care about quantitative change leading to qualitative change. He just hoped that if it didn't work, the doctor wouldn't blame them for being useless.
Anyway, he found it hard to understand Shang Qiyue. Unless he never dated an omega, what was the difference between an alpha having pheromone disorder and being impotent?
What a waste of such a handsome face.
Shang Qiyue hadn't planned on making any real progress today. He lazily stood up, picked up his phone to contact his personal assistant, and then started checking emails and replying to messages.
There weren't many emails on Sunday, and Shang Qiyue quickly scanned them, finding none that required immediate attention.
Few people had his private contact information. He opened the message and saw only a message from Mu Yan.
"Sir, are you coming over for dinner tonight? If you are, I'll go grocery shopping after I finish accompanying my mother to her medical check-up. [Rose] Besides tomato stewed beef, is there anything else you'd like to eat? [Rose]"
Mu Yan is quite energetic; she got up early and spent most of the morning fussing around, yet she still had the energy to go grocery shopping.
Shang Qiyue called him back, intending to tell him not to go grocery shopping, and that he would have some vegetables delivered to his door later, so that Mu Yan wouldn't have to spend time choosing.
He kept a little canary in a gilded cage, not actually hired a cook; it was just to add some fun. So why bother with it?
The phone rang several times before it was finally answered. Just as Shang Qiyue was about to speak, he heard the omega's soft sobbing from the other end of the line.
Omega? Shang Qiyue's brain briefly went blank for a second.
He recalled Mu Yan's honest and obedient demeanor and felt that he didn't seem like the type of person who would use his own money to support an omega.
"I'm looking for Mu Yan," Shang Qiyue asked in an unfriendly tone, "Who are you?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, sir. I'm Mu Yan's brother. My brother was just injured... Can I have him call you back when he wakes up?"
"Injured? How did he get injured? How serious is it?" Shang Qiyue frowned. "Where is he now?"
"Give me an address, I'm coming over now."
Lin Yi stared blankly at the name "President Shang" on Mu Yan's phone for a moment, but he quickly convinced himself that it was normal for Yan Yan to have a leader with strong humanistic care since she worked for a large company.
"At the First Hospital, we accidentally encountered a medical dispute..."

I've read all the comments, thank you for your suggestions!
Lu and the Chamber of Commerce have their own rules, but they will still sit at the table. They will wait until the men truly repent before letting them sleep with their wives.
There is a third male lead, but his official appearance and the development of his romantic storyline are relatively late. He will be added to the main character list once he officially appears. The "sweet story" tag is also because of the third male lead.
Please be careful with censored words when commenting, as those two letters will result in your comment being deleted by the system.
