When Xiushui was discharged from the hospital, she saw the man secretly looking at her beautiful mother from a distance again.
She paused, and when she saw the other person leave quickly after seeing her come back, she gave up the idea of blaming him.
"You're such a coward. If you cared, why did you hurt me in the first place? I can't imagine someone like you being my grandfather in this body."
Meeting a man who doesn't even dare to love is really despising. But, for some reason, I still feel depressed.
So after entering the house, even though she tried to cover it up a little, she was still seen by the sharp-eyed Zhang Xinxiang.
He held his daughter's hand and asked with concern.
"Are you tired from seeing too many patients today? If so, let's take a day off tomorrow. You have to celebrate your birthday anyway, so no one will say anything if you don't go to see the patients."
"Mom, that's not possible. Although we have hired about ten doctors to rotate through the clinic, we still don't have enough. More importantly, we need to train new talent. The few old patients I have can only be treated by me."
This may be the negative factors that arise when a person has too much fame.
Since her medical skills were upgraded to the master level, her acupuncture skills and other skills have also improved.
Whether she is performing surgery or seeing patients and teaching apprentices, she is now second to none in the country, and no one dares to claim to be number one.
But what comes with it is that there are too many well-known troublemakers.
For example, the Empress Dowager of Ryukhua, who was said to have a very bad temper, was now one of the most stubborn people in the clinic.
The old lady would not acknowledge anyone except herself, who was prescribing medicine and seeing patients.
For example, the former king of Jiang State who had just abdicated also stayed in the clinic and refused to leave. He would beg her to treat all his illnesses, big or small.
Then there's the shipbuilding tycoon, the Li family's master, the salt transporter's wife...
Anyway, those most famous troublemakers behaved well and were very obedient in front of Xiushui.
I do whatever she tells me to do, but what if I change doctors?
I'm sorry, I just pressed the doctor to the ground and rubbed him. If Xiushui hadn't sternly explained, if they dared to do that again, they would be blacklisted.
Although the group behind them were unhappy with the doctors, they would not rub the ground anymore. However, without Xiushui to suppress them, they were indeed very troublesome.
Zhang Xinxiang heard about all this from time to time. She usually thought that these old stubborn people were too dependent on her daughter, but now she felt that this group of people were too annoying.
"You still have to set rules for them. Your medical skills are there anyway. If they don't follow your rules and come back to you for everything, big or small, you'll be exhausted.
More importantly, you cannot fulfill your dream of teaching apprentices and promoting your advanced medical skills.
Instead of appeasing them, it’s better to be more violent and put them on the blacklist if they disobey.”
Xiushui looked at her mother's determined face and burst out laughing.
"Mom, you're very decisive now. Where's my dad? He didn't even bother with you today?"
When it comes to men, Zhang Xinxiang is helpless.
"He's still sulking there. After hearing that I was determined not to abort the baby, he just ignored me."
Xiushui stuck out her tongue. "Don't worry, Mom. Given my dad's temperament, he's only angry with himself. Right now, he must be wondering how he got you pregnant."
Don't worry, he will definitely come back to coax you at night."
In fact, ever since she knew her mother was pregnant, she knew that the child would definitely be born.
She saw the love her mother had for her children. Although this child was a little late, it wasn't impossible for her to have one. With her supervision, nothing would go wrong.
"Well, ignore him. You haven't told me why you're a little angry yet?"
Her daughter's matter was a big deal, and Zhang Xinxiang was still very concerned about it. After talking for a long time without getting around the topic, Xiushui asked with some embarrassment.
"Mom, have you ever thought about recognizing them?"
"No, I haven't thought about that."
A very decisive answer, as expected.
But Xiushui still asked. "On my way back, I saw that man lingering at the door. I don't think he looked at anyone else except you. He seemed... still concerned about you."
Zhang Xinxiang sneered.
"Xiu'er, if he wants to hide and peek in the future, then he can do so. I won't care and I won't pay any attention to him. Let's just pretend we didn't see it."
After saying this, she was afraid that her cold and heartless behavior would set a bad example for her daughter, so she spoke lightly.
"When I was little, your grandmother was always unhappy. I didn't understand it at the time and thought that mother was unhappy because she was confined to that home.
Later, when I grew up a little, I realized that she was indeed unhappy because she was confined there.
But more importantly, she had tried hard to get closer to that man, but what happened in the end? "
Zhang Xinxiang sneered at this.
"That man always acted indifferent and distant, no matter how much my mother approached him, how much she cared about him and even made soup and dishes for him.
His heart...can't be warmed up.
Later, my mother stopped taking the initiative and focused her energy on managing the affairs of the royal family and expressing her feelings through painting.
But life was not very good after all, and she had suffered many setbacks in her childhood, so she died from a serious illness.
After she died, I thought the man would at least pay a little more attention to me.
Once, I knew that he would pass by there, and I also knew that if I appeared in front of his stepchildren, I would definitely be beaten and bullied.
But I still took the initiative to appear in front of those people that day, and as I expected, I was bullied by the three of them.
The man did see it, but he just watched coldly until my grandmother got the news and separated us.
And found a reliable nanny for me.
It was also from that time that I realized that it is better to rely on yourself than on others. No matter how much you want some feelings, if they are not yours, you should never think about them.
"Mother..." Xiushui frowned. "Grandmother would know, was it that person who leaked it on purpose?"
Considering the mumbling he heard that day, Xiushui had reason to be suspicious.
"So what? As a father, why wouldn't he dare to defend me openly and rebuke those who did the wrong thing?
He doesn't even have the courage to face all these simple things, what else can I expect from him? Xiu'er, I know he may not be a good person, but he is not a bad person either.
However, he is indeed not suitable for having a family. There is a kind of person who is very weak, so weak that he can't handle anything.
Fortunately, you didn’t meet such a person.”
In fact, there are thousands of such men in life, but many times women endure it for the sake of the family and take on responsibilities that do not belong to them for the sake of their children.
Her mother had been worried for so long that she became so tired after falling ill that she no longer had the desire to live.
It wasn't that she loved that man, it was that she had no expectations for life anymore, she was simply tired and wanted to rest...
