Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Your Pei Jue Can Only Stay Single Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Your Pei Jue Can Only Stay Single Chen Jianhong came to the hospital early in the morning for rounds and only then found out about Shen Yurou’s situation. He quickly got dressed and went to the ICU for a look, and only felt relieved when he saw she was alright.
Why on earth would a well-to-do person just jump into the water for no reason?
The spring seawater was still chilly!
“Chief Shen, do you think it might be because of the school’s punishment that Miss Yurou couldn’t think straight?”
Elder Shen was aware of the punishment meted out to Shen Yurou by the school. The school’s punishment was completely fair and just, and they even gave some consideration to the Shen Family by not delving too deeply; otherwise, Shen Yurou would have been expelled by now.
How did the child he watched grow up turn into this?
“Couldn’t think straight? What did she have to be troubled about, forget it! You all should keep a close watch, we’ll discuss when she wakes up!”
Chen Jianhong agreed and meticulously examined Elder Shen’s health.
He was personally responsible for the health of all these old leaders and knew Elder Shen’s health condition like the back of his hand. Just last month, some data were unstable, but now it seemed to be much improved!
“Elder, your health is good enough to be called that of a strong man! Compared to the previous situation, it has improved so much; if this continues, you can go home to recuperate next month.”
Elder Shen was getting on in years and loved nothing more than hearing such healthy tidings!
“Really? It’s all thanks to the medicine Qingwu made for me. Being discharged is great; I’m about to turn into the smell of disinfectant here in the hospital!”
Hearing this news, Elder Shen jumped out of bed, swaggered, and kicked open the door of the neighboring ward.
He placed his hands on his hips and shouted with energy from his belly, “Elder Pei, I’m going to be discharged and go home next month! Ha ha ha ha ha! You old fellow will just stay here in the hospital!”
Elder Pei could not sit still, bounced off the bed, ran to hold Qingwu’s hand, and implored, “Granddaughter-in-law! Grandpa also wants to be discharged!”
“Discharge, Qingwu, Grandpa, I beg you!”
Qingwu: “…”
Seeing Elder Pei’s pitiful eyes, much like those of a little minion, she swallowed the words of refusal back down.
“Okay, just take the medicine I gave you, get checked daily, exercise more, don’t stay up late, don’t be picky with food; you can be discharged next month.”
“Mm hm! Granddaughter-in-law is the best!”
Elder Pei, brimming with pride, propped himself on his cane and sidled up to Elder Shen, even bumping him with his shoulder.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft, I’m not the only one with a granddaughter; Qingwu is my granddaughter too!”
“If I don’t let Qingwu marry over, your Pei Jue will only end up single!”
“Try me!”
“Watch me!”
Qingwu was already used to the two old men who would occasionally get physical. At their age, even if they wanted to fight, it wouldn’t come to blows, at most pull a few already thinning hairs…
She looked at Chen Jianhong and said softly, “The illness of Elder Shen Madam has worsened, you should go take a look.”
“Okay, I’ll send you a report later, regarding the Elder…”
Chen Jianhong looked at Qingwu with eyes full of stars, almost ready to shamelessly kneel and hug her legs to ask for Elder Shen’s prescription!
“Next time, if you give me a hand, we can discuss it.”
Chen Jianhong: “!!!”
He actually had a chance to watch Qingwu experiment!
“Alright, I’ll first go check on Elder Shen Madam, you handle things here!”
As soon as he walked out of the ward, Chen Jianhong expertly ignored the crowd gathered outside the door.
The old masters here held special statuses, if it wasn’t someone looking for one, it was another, gift boxes were delivered in rubbish trucks directly to anti-corruption departments.
Finally seeing someone come out, Qian Yueqiang quickly perked up, only to open her eyes to see a doctor in a white coat—not the Pei family member they were waiting for!
Qian Yueqiang looked at Chen Jianhong, feeling he was somewhat familiar but unable to recognize him fully due to the mask.
Maybe he was some internet-famous doctor.
The Lin Family seemed disinterested, wondering where the promised Pei Clan’s president was, as they still hadn’t seen him despite waiting all morning!
Lin Jingsheng complained: “The president is too unfilial, what time is it, and he hasn’t visited his grandpa yet, making us wait here all morning!”
Lu Mingchuan, sitting in a wheelchair, took the opportunity while no one was noticing to glare at him unhappily.
What kind of person is the Pei Clan’s president?
Would he have to tell Lin Jingsheng in advance when he planned to visit the hospital?
Someone had an inflated sense of self-worth!
The Lu Family came here today mainly because all their businesses were being constrained by Shen Boyi; as long as they could latch onto the Pei Family, even if the Shen Family openly boycotted their family in the industry, it would be of no consequence!
Only the Pei Family could save the Lu Family now!
Lin Xuecheng looked at Lu Mingchuan in the wheelchair; she was even a bit envious…
She also wanted to sit down… After standing for five hours straight in high heels, her feet were burning with pain.
“Mom, do we even know if President Pei will come today?”
“I don’t know either, let’s keep waiting; can’t you see all these people waiting here too!”
But unlike them, these people were evidently prepared in advance, seamlessly pulling out newspapers from their pockets as they arrived and sitting right down!
It felt like a spring outing!
Is this the attitude of people seeking favors? Or is this how people in Beijing act now?
Yet, the staff at Qiao Xi Hospital didn’t chase them away; rather, they stood together with them, which made Qian Yueqiang feel like her overall aura had diminished…
The ward door opened, and Elder Shen, wearing a mask and hat, sat in a wheelchair pushed out by Qingwu.
Elder Shen’s attire made Qingwu want to laugh!
The old man disliked socializing, every time he saw too many people at the door, he would cover his face to stop himself from inadvertently rolling his eyes at them…
As she came out, several people sitting at the door immediately popped up, stashing their newspapers and standing at attention, neatly blocking Elder Shen and Qingwu!
“Chief, 302nd Army of the Land Forces, ready to escort you!”
The Lin Family and Lu Family hadn’t snapped out of their shock at seeing Qingwu here when they witnessed the group of seemingly rural folk around them springing up, exuding an aura of iron and blood!
These folks weren’t farmers but specially commissioned soldiers…
“How many people?”
“Fifteen, all under control, rest assured, chief!”
Elder Shen nodded, chuckling: “Fewer than yesterday, not bad, looks like it’s about time I went home; Qingwu, did you hear that?”
“Yes, I’ll arrange your discharge time.”
“Go check on the wife.”
No matter how lacking in gentlewomanly virtues Zuo Wanjun was, she was still the biological mother of several grandchildren in the Shen Family.
Old Grandpa Zuo was an old comrade from his youthful years; if he knew his daughter was being wronged by the Shen Family, and they did nothing, he’d fly off the handle.
Qingwu pushed the wheelchair away, directly disregarding the two families standing by the roadside.
Seeing Qingwu who seemed to have a good relationship with Elder Shen made Lu Mingchuan itch with curiosity.
He wondered what Shen Boyi was thinking, trusting his secret mistress to care for his own grandfather; no wonder rich people are so eccentric.
Lin Jingsheng was stunned to see Qingwu.
“Qingwu, what are you doing here? When did you get to know Chief Shen, why didn’t you tell Dad!”
He was almost unplugged with excitement!
Qingwu might have been hired by the Shen Family to care for Chief Shen; if she was willing to speak a few kind words, the Shen Family would certainly regard the Lin Family favorably and support them towards a prosperous future!
