Chapter 10 Xiao Bing, Ming Jin Level? (2/2)
”Mr. Zhang, thank you so much for what you just did.”
”Ah, no need to thank me so much. Let me take your pulse.” Zhang Yizhi sat down. After Li Chunlan reached out her hand, he put one finger on Li Chunlan's wrist while both Li Chunlan and Su Xiaoxiao looked on, amazed. Checking pulses with only one finger was how Zhang Yizhi got this nickname. His medical skills were already reaching another realm. No one could ever surpass him, which is why he felt he couldn't find more challenges in the medical field. With the addition of his eccentricity, he had stopped treating patients two years ago. Except for this time...
Zhang Yizhi closed his eyes and felt the pulses silently. He then opened his eyes, and said with a smile, ”Your heart is recovering. I will undergo surgery for you in two days. Then you should recuperate to get better. But you should remember that you need to rest at home afterward. I heard that you run a noodle restaurant? You can't work there anymore.”
Li Chunlan said gratefully, ”Mr. Zhang, thank you.”
Su Xiaoxiao also said, ”Thank you for helping my mom.”
”You are welcome. Xiao Bing and I are friends despite our generation gap. If it were others, I wouldn't come even they offer me a high price. If anything, thank Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing, I need to go to settle the hospital's situation, call for a board meeting, and deal with that shameful president.”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, ”I'll have dinner with you later.”
Zhang Yizhi thought for a second, and said, ”You know I like my peace and quiet...”
”I know.” Xiao Bing had always known the solitude of this old man, ”We'll have some local food, just the two of us.”
After hearing that, Zhang Yizhi nodded with a smile. Clutching his cane, he then left the ward with Feuillet holding his arm.
After Zhang Yizhi left, Li Chunlan looked to Xiao Bing earnestly and said, ”Lil' Bing, this old gentleman must be someone important in the medical field, did you ask him to come?”
Xiao Bing nodded with a smile, ”Aunt Li, don't worry. He is not only friends with me, but also with Peiya. So I only mentioned it in passing.”
Li Chunlan finally felt relieved. Xiao Bing already saved her life once. She would owe him too much if Zhang Yizhi came to help all because of him. She was afraid she could never pay him back later on. She just didn't realize that she didn't have many days left.
Xiao Bing had already seen through Li Chunlan. Seeing the relief on her face, he said with a smile, ”Aunt Li, take a good rest. Don't worry about the surgery. Mr. Zhang will see to it. Since the noodle restaurant reopened now, I'll go attend to it. Xiaoxiao, I will take over your shift tonight.”
Li Chunlan said, ”No need, both of you go back to take a rest at night. The nurses will take care of me. What's more, Mr. Zhang has already given his word. The nurses won't dare to slack off.”
After a second thought, it started to make sense to Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Bing. And since Su Xiaoxiao shouldn't neglect her studies either, they had both agreed. Xiao Bing said, ”Aunt Li, I will now leave for the noodle restaurant. Xiaoxiao, see you tonight.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn't reply. But Xiao Bing didn't mind. Although living with an unfriendly yet pretty girl could be indeed weird, people from Dragon Gate were all strange. Su Xiaoxiao was normal compared to the others. For Xiao Bing, it was no big deal at all. So, he left after saying goodbye.
When he walked to the staircase, he met Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei said in a low voice, ”I didn't make a move back then...”
Xiao Bing patted on his shoulder and whispered to him, ”No need to explain, you did the right thing. Don't expose yourself unless you have to. I need to get going. After I go back, you should find a place to get some rest.”
In a panic, Xie Lun left the hospital with his wife. In the car, Xie Lun looked depressed while his shrewish wife kept raising a fuss next to him.
”Hey, your son got beaten. And you are going home with me having done nothing. You didn't even dare to argue back. Are you still a man?”
”Nonsense, what a woman like you knows?” Xie Lun finally burst out. He couldn't stand his wife's incessant complaining. He pointed at her shouting, ”You bitch, if you keep talking, I will throw you out of the car!”
”You... you... How dare you call me bitch.” Zhang Junru grabbed her purse, unzipped it, took out her eyebrow pencil, her lipstick, her cash... She took out everything and anything to throw at Xie Lun's face one by one. She cried and shouted, ”I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live... Let me die...”
”Don't die here.” Xie Lun took away her purse from her hand and said with anger, ”Don't you know that kid was a Ming Jin Master? Don't you know there are less than five Ming Jin masters in the whole Jiang Cheng City? This bastard made such a mess for me. What should I do?”
Zhang Junru had nothing left to throw. But she kept complaining in an unsatisfied voice, ”So you don't want revenge for your son? As a great entrepreneur in Jiang Cheng, you don't feel ashamed that you can't even protect your son?”
”Who says I don't? You go home first. I need to meet someone.”
”Who are you meeting?”
”The empress of the northern underworld in Jiang Cheng. North Heaven Queen, the Peony Fairy!”
Through the window, Xie Lun looked towards the hospital getting farther away and showed the utter hatred in his eyes.
