Chapter 350: Chapter 324 Eldest Brother, Hello
After their meal, Xiao Qian, accompanied by Yu Minglang, went to Eldest Sister-in-law’s hospital, which was the place she had agreed to meet Jingjing’s parents the night before.
The Membrane Repair Technique is offered in many hospitals. Even in this still relatively undeveloped era, the technique is quite mature.
The mysterious “membrane repair” has been the subject of controversy since its inception. Some argue it can address psychological and numerous other problems for people like Jingjing who have undergone such experiences, while critics believe it’s a form of deception.
For Xiao Qian, asking Jingjing to visit was for her to package away this unbearable memory after successful treatment, and offer the girl an equal shot at life.
However, many more come for this repair with ulterior motives.
Given that the eldest sister-in-law is the authority on this matter, Xiao Qian had led the patient to her, hoping to confirm her own judgments.
Jingjing underwent the examination in her sleep, and the Eldest Sister-in law came out in just a few minutes.
“Who are the relatives?”
It s me! Doctor, how is she, when should we arrange for the surgery?” Jingjing’s mother asked.
Eldest Sister-in-law took off her mask.
“No surgery is needed, her membrane is not broken.”
“What?” Jingjing’s mother was astonished.
Xiao Qian was not surprised.
Just like she’d thought, her judgment was correct.
No accident had occurred indeed. So, just knowing the direction of the snake would be helpful.
“Xiao Qian, if there’s no need for repair and my presence is no longer needed, I’ll go perform surgeries. There are several scheduled this morning.” Eldest Sister-in-law had her hands full.
Multiple surgeries were being performed simultaneously in the operation room, and this type of surgery also required anesthesia. Xiao Qian visualized a row of women lying down with their legs up, the scene was simply…
“Alright then, elder sister-in-law. You should go ahead with your work. I’m leaving.”
Director Yu, the patient in Room 3 is bleeding and insists that her recently repaired membrane has ruptured again. She demands another operation.” A nurse came running, saying in some distress.
“Room 3? Her again?”
Eldest Sister-in-law frowned.
This Room 3 patient had been causing trouble since her treatment. This minor surgical procedure doesn’t require hospitalization, yet she fiercly insisted on a day of observation. They had informed her that slight bleeding post-surgery was normal but she just wouldn’t listen.
Seeing how busy the Eldest Sister-in-law was, Xiao Qian didn’t want to delay her work and was just about to leave when she heard the nurse talk to the Eldest Sister-in-law.
“Yes, it’s that Lu Xue from room 3.”
“Xiao Wang, that character should be pronounced as ‘qu’, not ‘lu’. I’ve told you before, it’s Chu.”, the elder sister-in-law corrected.
“Oh right, it’s that Chu Xue, she really makes a fuss, even for a simple repair surgery she insists on hospitalizing. Moreover, she keeps complaining about us doing a poor job as the membrane ruptured again. Honestly, if she was so afraid of rupture, she should’ve been careful at first. She behaved recklessly and then ran to us for repair.”
“No gossiping about patients!” the elder sister-in-law reprimanded, and the nurse kept silent, but the female patient was truly troublesome.
Eldest Sister-in-law, is the patient you’re talking about in her twenties, and has a mole here?” Xiao Qian, matching Chu Xue’s physical characteristics, asked the elder sister-in-law who nodded.
“Do you know her?”
“…I don’t.”
It’s not just that she knew her; that was her Trash Dad’s ex-mistress.
Yu Minglang, who’d been with Xiao Qian all along, roughly guessed who Xiao Qian and elder sister-in-law were talking about after hearing Xiao Qian’s query.
After leaving the hospital, Jingjing’s parents bid Xiao Qian farewell and would be busy moving to Lin City in the coming days.
For convenience, Xiao Qian suggested they temporarily settle down in the city where she attended university. This would make it easier to meet, and once the treatment is complete, they could consider moving again.
After seeing them off, Yu Minglang asked Xiao Qian.
“What’s your dad’s ex-mistress up to now?”
Not long ago Xiao Qian had mentioned that Chu Xue wanted to use her pregnancy to force Chen Lin to give her the old house, but Xiao Qian had intervened and disrupted her plans. It was said that the old house would be demolished for road expansion, but there was no news about it till now.
As a young and high-spirited woman, Chu Xue had followed Chen Lin for his money and status as a small boss. But since Xiao Qian left Trash Dad with nothing, not even the old house, naturally Chu Xue couldn’t continue staying with Chen Lin.
“Who knows whose life she is wanting to mess up now. She probably wanted to get that thing repaired and fool someone.”
Xiao Qian was not in the least interested in having anything more to do with Chu Xue and couldn’t care less who she wanted to deceive.
“Why bother repairing it, doesn’t it cause so much hassle.” Even now, Yu Minglang cannot comprehend why this bargain that costs hundreds of bucks, which amounts to almost a month’s salary, still had people lining up for it.
“Let her do it. She can deceive the world, but not herself. She must’ve come across an extremely masculine man, so she decided to get this thing repaired beforehand. How boring.”
“Did she ever bully you?” All Yu Minglang cared about was this.
I almost married that trash Ni Jianren, and it was she who instigated my dad to do it. Would you say she had bullied me?” Xiao Qian retorted. Of course, that was in her past life. In this life, since her rebirth, she hasn’t allowed Chu Xue or Trash Dad to take advantage even once, overpowering them throughout. She’d effectively crushed Chu Xue and Trash Dad.
Yu Minglang quietly memorized all the information and went back to dig deeper.
Even without the older generations’ influence, Yu Minglang had his own network in Jianghu.
Conducting an investigation in Qiang City was incredibly easy for him.
There was still some time before their engagement. Both families advised the young couple to spend more time together while Yu Minglang was recuperating, so Xiao Qian could be with Yu Minglang every day.
The day after returning from the hospital, Yu Minglang asked Xiao Qian to go shopping.
As a result, Xiao Qian, hand in hand with Yu Minglang, ran into Chu Xue and a tall sturdy man approaching them.
Chu Xue acted as if she had seen a ghost upon seeing Xiao Qian and attempted to sidestep them with the man. However, the man noticed Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang.
“Sis!” The hulk-like man waved enthusiastically.
Xiao Qian knew this man. He was none other than the boss of the gaming agency she’d found for Playboy Chen Zilong.
Xiao Qian crooked a smile at him, then turned to Yu Minglang, who looked at the sky, feigning innocence.
Finally, Xiao Qian understood why Yu Minglang had insisted on going shopping and walking in this direction. Was this a deliberate setup for a chance meeting?
Chu Xue was terrified upon seeing Xiao Qian.
She was afraid Xiao Qian would reveal her secrets.
“Sis, it’s such a coincidence to meet you here. Brother Xu is good, isn’t he?” This Boss Li respected Xiao Qian so, largely because of Zheng Xu.
This was the woman who Brother Xu had personally sent a car for, she was certainly extraordinary.
Upon hearing him mention Zheng Xu, Yu Minglang instinctively felt a twinge of displeasure.
“He’s been cremated.”
Xiao Qian cast an amused glance at him. He was such a jealous creature.
“Who is he…?” Boss Li glanced cautiously at Yu Minglang. Although clueless about his identity, as a veteran of the Jianghu world, he had a knack for discerning people’s identity. He could tell at a glance that Yu Minglang was no ordinary man, and exuded an extraordinary demeanor.
“He is my fiance and Zheng Xu’s elder brother.”
“Ah! Hello, Eldest Brother!” Boss Li respectfully extended his hand. More powerful than Brother Xu, this man must be extraordinary; Chi Xue was as pale as death.
