Chapter 17&18: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 17: Expelled from Beijing [Page 1/2]
"Get yourself a girlfriend soon, let certain people see how happy life with a girlfriend can be!" the old man hinted.
Si Yechen opened the breakfast he brought and placed it in front of him, "If Qing Mu has a girlfriend, will you do his job?"
"I'll do it!"
Unexpectedly, the old man readily agreed, and Qing Mu was about to be moved.
"I'll do it, it's impossible! But Qing Mu, if you have a girlfriend, Grandpa will definitely make this kid give you time off, at least no overtime on weekends! Grandpa will also give you a big red envelope! Let this kid hire more people to share your workload!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Mu was deeply touched!
"Especially your salary and benefits, they must be increased!"
"Wise words, Grandpa!" Qing Mu was moved to tears and immediately pledged his loyalty, "Grandpa is right. At your age, Master Chen , it's time to consider life's big matters! You can trust me, Master Chen, I will promote the benefits of marriage and help Master Chen enter the realm of marriage as soon as possible!"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right! Look at Qing Mu's enlightenment! You, on the other hand, are so stubborn!" While praising others, the old man didn't forget to scold his own grandson.
Qing Mu was basking in the praise...
"Qing Mu, there's a project in Africa that needs someone right now."
Upon hearing Si Yechen's words, Qing Mu immediately panicked, "Master Chen, what I meant was..."
"Pack your things, you leave tomorrow."
"Master Chen???" Qing Mu hurriedly looked at the old man for help.
Old habits die hard, and the old man suddenly changed his tone, "Qing Mu, I want you to come here after work every day and chat with me to pass the time!"
"Si Yechen, you see... the old man said..." Just then, the doorknob turned, and someone sneaked in.
"Mr. Si, it's me." The disheveled Qiu Susu rushed in, noticed there were others present, and quickly straightened up, "Master Si, Assistant Qing, it's early, are you here too?"
It wasn't even 8 o'clock in the morning, so technically, visiting wasn't allowed...
Qiu Susu must have used her old work badge to enter, sneaked through the fire escape, avoided the cameras, to slip in...
"Who let you come?" Si Yechen, out of consideration for the director, didn't make things difficult for her for the time being.
Unexpectedly, she was so audacious to open the ward door without anyone's permission.
"Mr. Si, Young Master Si, please give me another chance!" Qiu Susu suddenly knelt down, "I really don't want to leave this industry. Please, let me come back to work in this hospital... Mr. Si, please, I beg you to consider my past contributions to your health, to my role as your doctor..."
There's a little merit even if no major merits, and there's still some tiredness even if no fatigue!
"Was she expelled from the industry?" Mr. Si asked Qing Mu.
"Yes, yesterday your condition worsened, and she didn't take measures promptly. Instead, she wanted to end your life prematurely. She's malicious. Miss Ou Yan, who operated on you yesterday, said she's not fit to be a doctor! Director Fu heard about her actions and expelled her from this industry."
Qing Mu looked at this treacherous woman, not giving her a hint of a good expression.
"That brat deliberately made trouble for me, deliberately slandered me in front of the director! Mr. Si, I'm innocent, I've always done my best for your condition, you should remember..."
Before Qiu Susu could finish her words, Si Yechen's ink-black eyes darkened, exuding an unpleasant aura.
Qing Mu couldn't believe that it had come to this, and this woman still wanted to distort the truth? To throw dirt on Miss Ou Yan?
Did she think they were blind yesterday? Did they not see the truth?
"Ms. Qiu, I advise you to think before you speak and act!" Qing Mu reminded, frowning.
Yesterday, she was the one who advocated for tranquilizers and heart relaxers!
And now she was turning the tables on them?
Miss Ou Yan was the old man's lifesaver, and she called her a dead brat...
"All members of the Qiu family are not allowed to set foot in Beijing from now on," the old man lying in the hospital bed suddenly spoke up, "Get her out."
Qiu Susu had come to plead for mercy, but she didn't expect to involve her whole family. "Mr. Si, I don't know where I offended you? Just because of a misunderstanding yesterday?"
She hurriedly clung to the bed's legs, refusing to leave. "Mr. Si, please listen to my explanation..."
"Humph!" The old man was furious, "You're not qualified to speak to me!"
"Mr. Si, if you don't forgive me today, I'll die here!"
"Then go ahead and die," the old man didn't care about her life or death, "Qing Mu, give her the knife."
Qing Mu picked up the fruit knife from the table and threw it in front of her.
With a shake, Qiu Susu's body trembled. She just wanted to scare the old man and hadn't intended to end her own life.
"Young Master Si..." Seeing that the old ancestor wouldn't budge, Qiu Susu could only cry, "My family is poor, and I'm the only daughter. I've been the hope of my family since I was young. My dream is to become a doctor who saves lives..."
"A doctor? What qualifications do you have to be a doctor?" The old man was not light-hearted, "Don't think I couldn't hear your conversation yesterday while lying in bed! It was you who advocated for tranquilizers and heart relaxers. The girl said that continuing would surely lead to death, and you persisted!"
"I... I..." Qiu Susu didn't expect the old man to have heard yesterday's conversation. She was stunned for a few seconds, unsure how to explain.
"That girl said, taking tranquilizers and heart relaxers would lead to a brief awakening, only half an hour of consciousness, then it's equivalent to a dying struggle. Even if Hua Tuo were reincarnated, he couldn't save me!"
"If it weren't for luck, running into that girl passing by, who operated on me, I would've died by now! There's no place for you to beg!"
"Expelling you from this industry, expelling your entire family from Beijing, is giving face to the director! Don't push your luck!"
"The girl was right. Calling you a quack is already praising you! You're not even as good as a teenager!"
Qiu Susu's face turned extremely pale, ugly to the extreme. "Mr. Si..."
"Qing Mu, the doctor who advocated for tranquilizers and heart relaxers with her yesterday, and the one who pushed the blame onto the girl when things went wrong, fire them all! They're not fit to be doctors!"
The old man glanced at the person beside the hospital bed, "Still not leaving? Do I have to kick you out?"
"Old man, your body hasn't recovered yet, don't get worked up..." Qing Mu asked coldly.
Qiu Susu knew there was no hope for this matter anymore. After murmuring a sorry, she left in embarrassment.
Chapter 18: Less One Point, Considered Respect
"Who was the girl from yesterday?"
After Si Yechen and the others left, there was a slight sigh of relief, and then Mr. Si turned his head and asked, "Did you properly thank her?"
"I've already given her a check," Qing Mu mentioned the young girl, expressing admiration, "I never expected a teenager to be such a skilled doctor!"
It was truly unexpected!
"That young girl just happened to pass by and noticed your condition, going against everyone's advice to save you!"
If she hadn't "meddled," the old man would have...
"A doctor's compassion..." Mr. Si's mind conjured up a blurry image of a small-faced girl, somewhat vague, but with a melodious voice.
Unfortunately, she was young, and there was an engagement between Yechen and Li Yusha...
Otherwise, it wouldn't be bad to bring her in as a granddaughter-in-law!
"Do you have the girl's contact information?" Mr. Si suddenly asked, "I want to thank her in person."
Qing Mu was taken aback and quickly looked at Si Yechen.
Si Yechen had taken the girl's phone number yesterday!
"Don't bother her," Si Yechen refused lightly.
"Why not? Can't I thank my lifesaver in person?" Mr. Si thought, with so many experts and famous doctors unable to cure his illness, the young girl came and pulled him back from the brink of death.
What does that mean?
It means the young girl's medical skills are far above theirs!
If he remembered correctly, the young girl should be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he happened to have another grandson about the same age...
If they could be matched successfully, it would be a good match.
"Do you have her contact information?" Mr. Si remembered Qing Mu's look towards Si Yechen, this kid definitely had the girl's phone number or WeChat.
"I don't care, you must call the girl over," Mr. Si pulled out all the stops.
In the end, Si Yechen relented, "Whether she comes or not depends on her willingness."
Mr. Si's "plot" succeeded halfway, and he hastily added, "Of course!"
If she didn't come, she must have been scared off by his cold demeanor!
Seeing Si Yechen about to leave...
"Wait a moment!" Mr. Si seemed to think of something and added, "Be polite and gentle when you talk to the young girl! If you don't know how to do it, let Qing Mu teach you! Don't scare her away, understand?"
She could be his future granddaughter-in-law...
Si Yechen: Where am I not gentle or polite? Use someone else to teach me?
Qing Mu: Sir, please don't put me in a difficult position. Si Yechen has finally forgotten about the African project...
"The young girl is my lifesaver, you're not allowed to frown!" Mr. Si was afraid the young girl couldn't bear the scare because of her young age.
On the other side...
Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying came to the table and placed various breakfast dishes in front of their two daughters.
"These are snacks made by the chef early in the morning, just out of the oven. Here, Yanyan, this is for you, be careful, it's hot."
"Shasha, you've been living at school for a month, why do you look thinner? Eat more."
Li Yusha sweetly smiled, "Dad, mom, don't worry about me, get more for my sister. Have I ever lacked good food from childhood to adulthood?"
Song Qiaoying chuckled, thinking that this child was really sensible, not trying to exclude her even though Yanyan had arrived.
This atmosphere was much warmer than imagined.
"Dad, this is your favorite Da Hong Pao tea for tea time, let me pour you a cup."
Li Yusha stood up and poured the tea from the white porcelain teapot into Li Yuanfu's cup, then picked up another blue-patterned teapot and poured the chrysanthemum tea into Song Qiaoying's cup.
"Mom, this is your favorite chrysanthemum tea, drink it while it's hot."
Song Qiaoying didn't expect her daughter to remember their habits, smiling lovingly as she took a sip from the teacup.
Li Yusha looked at Ou Yan with a triumphant smile.
So what if she was her biological daughter? After so many years of living together, there was no one who understood their parents' eating habits better than her.
How could Ou Yan not see through her little scheme? Her gaze was as calm as water, eating the exquisite pastries on the plate slowly, as if indifferent.
"Sister, I don't know what tea you like..." Li Yusha wanted her to pour it herself.
But before she could finish her sentence, she heard Ou Yan casually say, "Green tea, thank you."
Li Yusha was stunned. Was she asking her to pour tea? Or was she calling her "green tea"?
"You're quite indulgent to your sister..." Li Yuanfu thought Li Yusha was going to pour tea for Ou Yan, happily saying, "Yanyan, Shasha is like this, she cares about her family, if you don't let her pour, she won't be happy."
Ou Yan raised her eyes to look at her, "Then I'll trouble you next."
Li Yusha was somewhat embarrassed, but at this point, she could only stand up, smilingly holding the teapot.
She noticed the white chiffon dress Ouyan was wearing today.
The chiffon was very thin, and brewing green tea required a water temperature of ninety degrees...
If she accidentally scalded her...
With just a glance, Ou Yan understood her inner thoughts.
Li Yusha was pouring tea, and then she heard Ou Yan say, "Fill it seven-tenths full."
Li Yusha didn't expect her to see through it so quickly, biting her lip secretly, wanting to pretend she hadn't heard, but who knew Ou Yan would add, "That's enough."
Li Yusha could only stop her movements, smilingly saying, "Sister, you're really careful. I've been pouring tea for my parents for so many years and never spilled a drop. Are you worried I'll scald you?"
Ou Yan raised her clear eyes, lightly curling her lips, "I saw you pour eight-tenths full for Dad and Mom, so I asked for seven-tenths."
One less point than her parents, it's a sign of respect.
"Baby Yanyan, you don't have to be so particular at home..." Song Qiaoying didn't expect this child to be so sensible, learning table manners so well.
Instead, Li Yusha's words just now seemed a bit petty.
But, Shasha shouldn't have had any ill intentions.
Li Yuanfu smiled and eased the situation, "Yanyan, Shasha, the high school entrance exam results will be out soon, have you thought about which university you want to apply for?"
He put down his teacup, looking kindly at them, waiting for their response.
After Li Yusha sat down, she felt it necessary to show some authority to Ou Yan, so she smiled and said, "I will probably choose Peking University."
When Ou Yan heard "Peking University," she raised her gaze, the depth of her eyes unclear.
Li Yusha naturally noticed this glance, smiling as she said, "Although many classmates say this college entrance exam was difficult, I think it was easier than the practice questions we did before. I have no pressure and more than enough confidence to enter Peking University."
"Peking University is the best university in China, but... didn't you want to study abroad before?" Li Yuanfu looked at her, a bit puzzled.
