At that moment, Qingyan's phone vibrated a few times. It was a call from Tang Yiyang.
"Excuse me, I need to take this call," Qingyan got up and walked out of the ward.
"Qingyan, I heard from someone downstairs that you came to the hospital," Tang Yiyang's voice came through the phone.
Qingyan responded lightly, "What's the matter?"
"Madam Lu woke up for a while today," Tang Yiyang said softly. "Although it was only for a few minutes, during those minutes, she kept mentioning your name..."
"She wanted to call you, but I stopped her."
"You know about her condition, she can easily have an episode if she gets too excited, so I had to stop her."
Madam Lu cares the most about Qingyan. The first thing she does when she wakes up is to inquire about Qingyan's current situation. Even if Qingyan doesn't mention what Lu Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin have been doing behind her back, as soon as Madam Lu hears Qingyan's voice, tears will surely flow...
If she gets too excited, something might happen, and everything done so far would be in vain.
"Are you still at the hospital? Come and see her. Also, take a look at today's test report."
"Okay."
"I just finished a meeting. I have the report with me. Let's meet up now."
"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Qingyan headed towards Madam Lu's ward.
Madam Lu was still unconscious, but she tightly held a bracelet in her hand, the one Qingyan bought for her with her first earnings.
Qingyan gently held her frail hand, and the person lying on the hospital bed seemed to sense her presence, as her fingers moved slightly.
At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open.
Xu Aiqin, who came in, saw Qingyan and was initially stunned, but then erupted in anger. "Why are you here again? Who allowed you to come in? You're like a piece of stubborn adhesive plaster that can't be shaken off! Do you squat here every day just to wait for Madam Lu to wake up and take you back to the Lu family? Let me tell you, stop dreaming!"
Lu Zhenhai saw Qingyan and his expression also became complicated. He never expected this child to be so scheming, running to the hospital every day to stay in Beijing while they were away.
What's the point?
She's not even a member of the Lu family!
"Zhenhai, she's probably using our daughter's name to gain access to this ward. Later, you should tell the nurse that she has no blood relation to our family. Our daughter is Yaoyao. If you see her, don't let her in."
Lu Zhenhai also had the same thought. Otherwise, how could she freely come and go here? She must have told the nurse that she is the Lu family's daughter, the true granddaughter of this old lady!
Xu Aiqin couldn't hold back and shouted, "What are you still doing here? Why don't you leave? Should I ask you to get out?"
"The patient needs quiet," Qingyan calmly stood up. She had no intention of staying longer as the old lady was about to wake up. Her presence would only worsen the old lady's condition.
Xu Aiqin watched her leave and grew angrier with each passing thought. Coincidentally, she had a bag with her today, so she tightly gripped the strap and swung the bag fiercely at Qingyan's back.
No sooner said than done, a hand pulled Qingyan behind, and the bag hit nothing but air.
Xu Aiqin recognized the person who intervened and was equally shocked as Lü Zhenhai. "Dr. Tang?"
"Is this how you repay the person who saved your mother's life?" Tang Yiyang's handsome face now carried a trace of coldness, and even his icy gaze turned frigid.
"Person who saved her life?" Xu Aiqin and Lü Zhenhai were even more bewildered. They both looked at Qingyan and said in unison, "Her?"
Who did she think she was?
"If it weren't for her, your mother would have died countless times in that hospital bed!" Tang Yiyang couldn't tolerate the attitude of this family and said angrily, "If it weren't for her, would Mrs. Lü be able to stay in this ward? Would she receive special care? Would she have been brought back from the gates of death multiple times?"
"Her?" Xu Aiqin and Lü Zhenhai couldn't comprehend. What special abilities did Qingyan have? Wasn't it the Gao family's influence that allowed Mrs. Lü to stay in the VIP ward? What did it have to do with her?!
In room 306.
Siyeye was extremely satisfied, his mouth couldn't stop curving upward, and he couldn't help but praise his son's wife.
"You lucky brat, you've got such a good girl! You better treat her doubly well. If you dare to bully her, grandpa won't approve!"
"Understood." Siye Chen was always taciturn, only speaking a few more words when Qingyan was present.
"This daughter-in-law is so beautiful and young, and she knows medicine. Won't many people pursue her?" Siyeye suddenly turned to Wen Steward and said, "Doesn't my grandson seem too old for her?"
Qingmu almost burst into laughter. This was his own grandfather? Chenye was only 22 years old, how could he be considered old?!
"The young master and young mistress are a perfect match in talent and appearance... However, speaking of the young mistress, why hasn't she returned for so long?" Wen Steward checked the time and said, "Could she have encountered some trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Siyeye hastily said, "Achen, go and check..."
As Siye Chen walked out of the room, he saw a male doctor not far away shielding Qingyan, appearing protective.
"Is he the assistant doctor who assisted Miss Qingyan that day?" Qingmu, with sharp eyes, immediately recognized him. "It seems to be Tang Yiyang, the grandson of Tang Changhai... What's happening between them? Has Miss Qingyan encountered trouble, and Dr. Tang is helping her out?"
An unfamiliar feeling surged through Siye Chen's heart, a bitter and displeased feeling that he couldn't quite explain.
It was as if someone had taken away the treasure he was supposed to protect.
"They seem to have known each other for a long time, don't they? It seems like Dr. Tang is quite protective of Miss Qingyan," Qingmu remarked, realizing the displeasure emanating from Si Yechen. Unable to resist teasing, Qingmu added, "Yechen, you're not jealous, are you?"
Si Yechen responded coldly, "He's just a doctor, nothing to be jealous about."
"But, Yechen, both Dr. Tang and Miss Qingyan understand medicine and have common topics. What if—"
Before Qingmu could finish speaking, they saw Si Yechen stride in that direction.
"You're not jealous, remember?!"
...
"Let it go," Qingyan decided not to waste any more time with them and was about to leave.
Tang Yiyang defended her, "You should really tell them who deserves credit for Lady Lu still being alive today!"
"There's nothing to say."
Qingyan left first, and Tang Yiyang, dissatisfied, glanced at Lu Zhenhai before following suit.
"What did Dr. Tang mean? Lady Lu's survival is thanks to our family and the Gao family, isn't it? What does that have to do with that wretched girl?"
Xu Aiqin couldn't make sense of it and, looking at their departing figures, couldn't help but say, "She didn't contribute anything, so how could she have the ability to pull an old person back from the brink of death? It's a big joke! It took money from us and the Gao family, giving Lady Lu a VIP room, to keep her alive until now!"
