Chapter 38
Raise The Partition
Jiang Quan and the rest naturally did not know about this.
The deputy director and his staff were the ones always in charge of taking care of Old Master Jiang. Jiang Quan and the rest did not know much about the hospital. However, they had also heard that this hospital was quite reputable.
Jiang Quan was stunned upon seeing the director of the hospital. He shook his head and before he had a chance to speak, the deputy director approached the director.
They both looked very serious and nervous, mentioning several medical terms in their conversation. Jiang Quan and the group were anxious about Old Master Jiang’s condition, but they could not really hear them clearly. Upon ending the conversation, the director entered the emergency room, while the deputy director pulled the mask back over his face.
It was then that he remembered that Jiang Quan and his group were still there. He looked at Jiang Quan sideways. “The Old Master’s condition has improved, but there is something we need to figure out. Please wait a moment.”
Hearing that the old master’s condition had improved, Jiang Quan heaved a sigh of relief. He slowly unclenched his fists.
Yu Yong also let out a breath of relief. “It’s good that he is alright now.”
Initially, Yu Yong thought that the Old Master’s condition was serious because Yu Zhenling was anxious to inform him about it and the doctor did not have a positive outlook on his medical condition. Yu Yong thought that he would not be able to make it and therefore hurried over to the hospital in the middle of the night.
“Thank you for making the trip to see him.” Jiang Quan looked at Yu Yong. The Yu family had been very good to the Jiang family, especially when educating Xinran. The Yu family had been much more attentive to her learning than the Jiang family was.
Yu Yong patted the water droplets on his sleeves and shook his head slightly. “We are one family.” After this, he turned to Yu Zhenling and smiled at Jiang Quan again. “Did the two of you have an argument again? Zhenling, you’re not young anymore, don’t throw a temper tantrum.”
Speaking of this, Yu Zhenling turned her head, not wanting to say more. She was still upset about it. Yu Yong did not make any other comments since it was their business. He only asked the two juniors as Jiang Quan went to fill in forms for the surgery.
Jiang Xinran lowered her head, not saying anything.
“Uncle, you can’t blame my mother. It’s all because of Meng Fu,” Jiang Xinchen explained. “She drew a strange talisman for grandfather. Mom kindly helped her get another talisman for grandfather’s health, yet Meng Fu blamed her for grandpa’s condition. Right now, Grandpa’s condition is still unstable yet she ran away without talking to us at all. They quarreled because of this…”
Jiang Xinchen summarized what happened to him.
While he was speaking, Yu Yong, appeared to be slightly displeased. He had seen Meng Fu before and he disliked that what she reached for was beyond her reach. This was yet another instance of her bad behavior.
No matter what, the Old Master treated Meng Fu very well, yet she left without saying a word. It was very wrong of her to be unfilial. Yu Yong found it absurd that she drew a talisman. His expression turned icy.
Seeing that Jiang Xinchen explained everything to Yu Yong, Jiang Xinran added, “Uncle, maybe my sister doesn’t have a sense of belonging in this family because she only just returned. It’s human nature.”
After this point, she did not say much. Jiang Xinran had always been cautious in dealing with people. She knew when to advance and retreat. Yu Yong remained silent, not saying anything,
When Jiang Quan and Yu Zhenling returned from downstairs after signing the documents, Jiang Xinran sensed that the atmosphere was stiff and she brought up Divine Doctor Feng. “I heard from Auntie Tong that in the capital this person is considered…”
Everyone in the corridor had not heard of the secret details of the capital known only insiders. They listened very seriously to her. However, Jiang Xinran was interrupted mid-sentence as the door to the emergency room opened once again.
The Old Master’s bed was pushed out of the room with the two directors following behind. The old master was not as weak as everyone imagined. He was still full of energy. He half leaned on the bed and glanced at the corridor. He seemed a little anxious. “Where is Fu’er? Did she not come?”
“Dad, she had urgent matters to attend to,” Jiang Quan hurried to explain.
Jiang Xinchen looked away, ignoring him.
Yu Yong glanced at Old Master Jiang, thinking to himself that the rumors that he had heard from the Tong family, that Old Master Jiang was old and was no longer a good judge of character and that he doted on someone unworthy of his love, was true. Initially, he had not believed it. After all, Old Master Jiang had always been shrewd and resolute. Now it seemed that he had been wrong.
Old Master Jiang was pushed into the ward. Nobody disturbed him. They left the room, leaving Butler Jiang and two nurses in the ward. Yu Yong looked at Jiang Quan, ready to tell him his thoughts on Meng Fu.
However, a young nurse not far away seemed as if she wanted to say something. She finally mustered her courage at the lift landing and looked at Jiang Quan. “Mr. Jiang, can you hand this gift to Sister Meng Fu?”
Jiang Quan was taken aback. Wait a minute. Was the nurse a fan? She even wanted to give Meng Fu a gift? Yu Zhenling recognized the nurse. Old Master Yu had mentioned Meng Fu to her last time.
“Are you blind? Not only is she a bimbo, she is also unfilial and disrespectful. She left before my grandfather came out of the surgery room. What do you like about her?” Jiang Xinchen was bewildered.
“Of course not. Ms. Meng calls Mr. Jiang every night.” Nurse Xiao Li felt anxious upon hearing their criticism of Meng Fu. “It was thanks to the stuff that Ms. Meng gave to Mr. Jiang that he was fine this time. There is a kind of fragrance in it and it’s almost like a lost scent. The qi stagnation and blood stasis in his body have already been cured. The director heard about this and came over to check. Meng Fu must have known this which is why she left.”
Most of the people present were stunned by her words.
This was especially so for Jiang Quan. He took the gift from Xiao Li. “Thank you.”
He then went back to look for the deputy director. Yu Yong was also taken aback. He went with Jiang Quan to look for the deputy director.
It came as a surprise to him. He had known Meng Fu’s background for a long time. She had grown up in the mountains and there was nothing about her worth paying attention to. What exactly was going on?
**
Meng Fu was downstairs. She hadn’t left immediately. She was sitting in a chair.
It was raining outside. Zhao Fan only found out that she was caught in the rain outside the hospital when she happened to call Meng Fu on the cell phone. “Why did you go to the hospital by yourself? I will tell Su Di to pick you up. Don’t hail a taxi. It’s not safe at this late hour.”
Zhao Fan went home today. Her place was very far away but Su Cheng’s place was nearby. When Su Di received the call, Wei Jingke was in the car as well.
Wei Jingke sat in the back seat, feeling drowsy. Upon hearing that Su Di was going to pick up Meng Fu, he smiled. “Are you going to send me back first?”
Su Di glanced in the rearview mirror. “No, I have to pick up Ms. Meng.”
Wei Jingke leaned on the seat and raised his eyebrows. “Fine, raise the partition.”
He was curious about Meng Fu, but he was also afraid of being disgusted by her. Wei Jingke had made several appearances in T City. Many wealthy people in T City knew him and many families sent women to him. The wealthy and the entertainment industry were just as messy. There were countless artists who wanted to clinch better positions in the industry.
