Chapter 322: The Dragon Has Nine Sons, Each Different from the Others
What happens in Chapter 322 of "Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor"? "I remember the cocktail party ten years ago when your parents brought you along; you... Read on to find out!
"I remember the cocktail party ten years ago when your parents brought you along; you were just a little thing back then. Who wouldâve thought, ten years have gone by, and that little thing has turned into a beautiful young lady!"Lu Xingping scrutinized Ye Wumei and laughed heartily.
Li Yujie, unlike her husband, wasnât "ignorant," and said with a smile, "The Ye familyâs girl is now a famed diva in the music world. There are many fans of hers in our unit. I once heard this saying: âWherever there are Chinese people, the songs of Ye Wumei can be heard.â That shows how influential the Ye familyâs girl is!"
Lu Xingping nodded and said, "Good! Ye Xing has raised a fine daughter. Ye girl, remember to send my regards to your father later!"
After chatting with Ye Wumei for a while, the couple turned the conversation to Fang Bai.
"Doctor Fang, how come you two are here?"
Lu Xingping knew that Fang Bai had been interning at Yanjing Hospital and was curious to see him here.
Fang Bai answered casually, "Iâm accompanying Wumei to visit a friend of hers. Uncle Lu, your family is here because..."
"Deputy Minister Jiangâs daughter fell ill and was hospitalized, so we came to pay a visit."
Lu Xingping said, looking thoughtfully at Fang Bai.
Before coming to the hospital, Lu Xingping had already learned that Jiang Huaiheâs daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer and knew that two National Doctors were invited by the Jiang Family for treatment.
In Lu Xingpingâs opinion, however, cancer was not a minor illness, and even with the intervention of the two National Doctors, there was no guarantee of a cure.
Back when Lu Xingpingâs younger son, Lu Jianfeng, was critically injured in a car accident, hanging by a thread, the hospital was at a loss, yet Fang Bai managed to pull his son back from the brink of death in a short time. Such miraculous medical skills left Lu Xingping feeling that not even todayâs four National Doctors could necessarily achieve such a feat.
He wondered if Fang Bai could potentially cure Jiang Huaiheâs daughterâs breast cancer.
That was what Lu Xingping was thinking.
However, Lu Xingping merely thought about it and didnât dare to carelessly "matchmake" in such matters, lest it upset Fang Bai.
As soon as Fang Bai and Ye Wumei heard that Lu Xingping and his wife were there to see Jiang Xiaoyu, they exchanged a glance, their mouths revealing a wry, helpless smile.
"I need to get back to work... Uncle Lu, Aunt Li, weâll chat another time when weâre free. Jianfeng, letâs have a drink together when youâre available!"
Checking the time, Fang Bai spoke to Lu Xingping and his wife and then greeted Lu Jianfeng.
"Okay!"
Lu Jianfeng hurriedly nodded and bowed in agreement, looking very honored to have the opportunity to drink with Doctor Fang.
Usually, when Lu Jianfeng saw Fang Bai, they were friendly and brotherly, but in the presence of his parents, he dared not show the slightest disrespect to Fang Bai, as that would result in a scolding from his parents.
"Who would have thought that Doctor Fang would be with the Ye familyâs girl..."
"Yes, I had thought that Wen Rou would become his girlfriend. What a pity..."
Watching Fang Bai and Ye Wumei drive away, Lu Xingping and his wife shook their heads and sighed again.
Afterward, the family of three entered the hospitalâs inpatient building and, on the sixth floor in front of the intensive care unit, they met Zhao Xinran, who was anxiously waiting in the corridor.
"Minister Lu, Yujie, youâve arrived."
As the figures of Lu Xingping and his wife appeared in the corridor, Zhao Xinran immediately went to greet them.
"Xinran, how is Fish doing?"
Li Yujie hurried forward a couple of steps, grasped Zhao Xinranâs hand, and asked with concern.
The Lu and Jiang families were political allies, and Li Yujie and Zhao Xinran both worked at the Yanjing Education Bureau, with a superior-subordinate relationship. They supported each other in their work, and their private relationship was also quite good.
Therefore, upon learning that the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Huaihe had been hospitalized, Mr. and Mrs. Lu Xingping rushed to visit right away.
Hearing Li Yujieâs inquiry about her daughterâs condition, Zhao Xinranâs nose tingled, and she forced a smile, "The doctors in the hospital said the situation isnât too optimistic, and itâs very likely that a surgery to remove the left breast will be needed. However, just now National Doctor Ren and National Doctor Hua came together, and Huaihe is currently accompanying them in the ICU to check on Fishâs condition. I donât know what theyâll say."
Li Yujie comforted her again, "The two National Doctors are very skilled, one in traditional and the other in Western medicine. Treating jointly, they will surely be able to cure Fish."
"I hope so."
Lu Jianfeng, who was standing by, thought of Fang Bai and Ye Wumei, who had just left, and suddenly asked, "Aunt Zhao, do you know Ye Wumei?"
Lu Jianfeng knew Ye Wumei and Jiang Xiaoyu were close friends, and when they encountered Fang Bai outside earlier, Fang Bai had said he was accompanying Ye Wumei to visit a friend. Lu Jianfeng concluded that Ye Wumeiâs friend was very likely Jiang Xiaoyu.
What Lu Jianfeng couldnât understand was why Ye Wumei, knowing Fang Baiâs medical expertise, hadnât asked him to treat Jiang Xiaoyu if she was bringing him along.
Zhao Xinran was slightly startled when Lu Jianfeng suddenly mentioned Ye Wumei, then she nodded, "Yes, I know her! She came with a friend just now to see Fish, but knowing they were busy, I didnât keep them and let them go first."
"They just came to see Fish, without saying anything else?"
Lu Jianfeng continued to probe. TĘe source of this á´ontent ÉŞs Noá´ á´FÉŞre.ná´t
In Lu Jianfengâs opinion, Ye Wumei bringing Fang Bai along meant it probably wasnât just a simple visit to a sick friend.
At that moment, Jiang Xiaoyuâs Aunt, Jiang Xiuli, interjected, "That Ye family girl said her friend was a doctor and even wanted to let her friend treat Fish... Really, her friend is at most in his early twenties, and heâs also a practitioner of traditional medicine, what kind of illnesses can he treat? Only a fool would let him!"
Watching Jiang Xiuliâs scornful attitude, the three members of the Lu Xingping family exchanged glances, their faces showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
After all, it was Fang Bai who had cured Lu Jianfengâs critical injuries from a car accident, and Jiang Xiuliâs words were tantamount to ridiculing the Lu family.
"Yujie, what is this...?"
Zhao Xinran, who was very attentive to details, noticed the displeased expressions on the Lu Xingping family and sensed something was amiss.
"You, you... Ah, Xinran, how should I even begin to tell you? Wumeiâs friend... Doctor Fang is no ordinary person! You have driven away a Divine Doctor who came knocking at your door!"
Li Yujie stamped her foot and sighed.
"Divine Doctor?"
Zhao Xinran couldnât reconcile Fang Baiâs young face with the title of "Divine Doctor" in her mind.
"Hah, if that kid is a Divine Doctor, then Iâm afraid all the doctors in the world are Divine Doctors!"
Jiang Xiuli pursed her lips, her tone laced with disdain.
The dragon has nine sons, each different from the last.
Although the Jiang family produced many talents, Jiang Xiuliâs emotional intelligence was not very high. Otherwise, she wouldnât have been stuck in a minor department holding a sinecure. Even now, she had not realized that her words had caused dissatisfaction among Mr. and Mrs. Lu Xingping.
Especially the last sentence she had uttered, which was like questioning Li Yujie, as if saying Li Yujie was lying about Fang Bai being a Divine Doctor.
