Chapter 218: Doctor Ye Has Arrived

When Xie Zheng learned that Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi had returned to Nancheng, he put on his coat and went out with them.

He also inquired about Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi's whereabouts from Lu Ye.

Just then, Lu Ye was driving when Xie Zheng blocked his way.

He asked anxiously, "Lu Ye, where is Grandpa Ye now?"

"No comment." Lu Ye ignored him and was about to get into the car.

Xie Zheng's voice rang out behind him, "I inquired about Grandpa Ye because I wanted to take Aunt Mu to see a doctor. What are you hiding?"

"Are you giving yourself acupuncture?"

Lu Ye turned around and glared at him coldly, scoffing, "Do you think my grandfather and Xiao Zhi would still sincerely give you acupuncture now?"

Xie Zheng felt guilty, his eyes flickered slightly, and he weakly explained, "I have already apologized to you."

"Apologize?"

Lu Ye sneered, "Xie Zheng, do you think you can erase all the damage with just a casual 'sorry'?"

That night, the confession ceremony he had carefully prepared was ruined by this bastard.

He thought of the disappointed look on his girlfriend's face, and he wanted to kick this bastard to death.

"Harm?" Xie Zheng's emotions suddenly turned agitated upon hearing these two words. "You have the nerve to mention harm to me?"

"What are you two talking about?" Old Lu shouted as he opened the car window. "Lu Ye, get in and drive!"

"Here we are." Lu Ye ignored Xie Zheng and got into the car. Soon, the jeep was driven away.

Xie Zheng stood at the door for a long time until the jeep disappeared around the street corner before he stepped forward to get in the car.

He had asked unnecessary questions earlier, and he knew that since Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi had returned, they would definitely be seeing patients at Jishengtang.

Dr. Zhou has been advertising for so many days, so as soon as people arrive, Dr. Zhou will definitely let them see patients immediately.

Xie Zheng planned to take a car to pick up Mu Qin first.

Even if Bai Zhi doesn't forgive him and doesn't want Grandpa Ye to give him acupuncture, Aunt Mu is innocent, and we must let Doctor Ye examine Aunt Mu today.

Her condition cannot be delayed any longer.

After returning to Nancheng the day before yesterday, Gu Xiaoyue went to school.

Muqin was the only one at home at the moment.

When Xie Zheng arrived at her door, he found that the door was unlocked, but only slightly ajar, so he pushed it open and went inside.

In the courtyard, the woman lay half-reclined on a recliner, her eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

Xie Zheng walked over. He wanted to wake her, but hesitated.

He noticed that Muqin was holding a yellowed photograph.

When Xie Zheng saw the person in the photo clearly, his nose tingled, and he instantly lost control of his emotions.

The girl in the black and white photo has pigtails and a bright smile on her face; she is so radiant and beautiful.

Like a gentle spring breeze, it brushed against his heart.

Xie Zheng's thoughts seemed to drift back to ten years ago.

My mind is filled with Xiao Wei's voice.

She kept calling out "Brother Zheng" over and over. The woman on the recliner seemed to sense someone beside her, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing Xie Zheng, he quickly sat up straight from the recliner.

"Xiao Zheng, what brings you here?" Mu Qin rubbed her eyes and said, "I was sitting here sunbathing and fell asleep without realizing it."

Mu Qin hurriedly looked for the photo on her body, and when she found it in Xie Zheng's hand, she took it from him in a flustered manner.

Xie Zheng got down to business, "Aunt Mu, Dr. Ye has arrived in Nancheng. I've come to take you for your treatment."

Mu Qin originally wanted to refuse Xie Zheng, but then she thought of how her daughter, Xiao Yue, had taken leave from school to go to Bincheng so that she could receive treatment from Doctor Ye.

If she doesn't cooperate, Xiaoyue probably won't be able to concentrate on her studies.

Thinking of this, Mu Qin replied, "Then I'll trouble you."

Mu Qin took the photo into the house, saying she was going to change her clothes.

Xie Zheng stood in the courtyard waiting.

Standing here, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, many past scenes kept flashing through his mind.

This place used to be their secret playground, where a group of mischievous children would play.

Ah, those carefree and joyful times.

There will never be another one.

The person he loved also left him forever.

Yes, he's gone forever.

Soon, Mu Qin came out.

Let's go.

Xie Zheng snapped out of his daze and hurriedly walked ahead, saying, "Okay."

Muqin locked the door, and the two of them took a car to Jishengtang.

Both of them were preoccupied and barely chatted along the way.

The bus stops right near Jishengtang.

Xie Zheng got out of the car and considerately helped Mu Qin up.

Mu Qin was physically weak and would get out of breath after walking just a few steps.

It's obvious that they rarely go out.

"Aunt Mu, don't rush, take your time."

Xie Zheng could tell that she was very tired and could not walk, so he considerately helped her and they walked together toward the entrance of Jishengtang.

After walking only a dozen meters, they were stunned by the grand scene at the entrance of Jishengtang.

Where did all these people come from?

Xie Zheng supported Xie Qin, looking utterly dejected.

Judging from this situation, the chances of seeing a doctor today are extremely slim.

Mu Qin was also shocked. She looked at Xie Zheng in disbelief and asked him for confirmation, "Xie Zheng, are all those people queuing up for a doctor's appointment?"

Xie Zheng touched his nose and said, "I guess so."

Mu Qin looked troubled. "Should we still go and queue up?"

When will it be their turn?

I guess I won't be able to see a doctor today?

Looking at the long queue that stretched into the distance, Mu Qin had little hope of getting a medical appointment today.

But for her condition, there was hope.

The fact that so many people are queuing up for treatment shows that Dr. Ye's reputation is well-deserved.

Her illness may be curable.

She said she didn't want to struggle anymore and would leave it to fate.

But the thought of her youngest daughter, Gu Xiaoyue, who had just come of age and whose future was still uncertain, caused her heart to ache.

Even in death, I cannot close my eyes.

That man has a new love and a son; he's unlikely to care about his daughter's future.

"Aunt Mu, let me find you a cool place to rest first, I'll go queue up."

As soon as Xie Zheng finished speaking, a female voice came from behind him, saying exactly the same thing.

"Mom, you sit here and wait. I'll go check the situation first. I'm afraid we won't be able to get in line today."

Xie Zheng turned around and saw Lu Ya with an afro, heavy makeup, and fashionable clothes.

He didn't recognize her at first glance.

But he recognized Wang Shufen.

Wang Shufen was more swollen than the last time we met, and her legs and feet were in worse condition.

He was being supported by Lu Ya, and his steps were unsteady.

"Are you here for treatment too?" Xie Zheng asked Lu Ya.

Perhaps because they were both in the same boat, Xie Zheng, who usually looked down on Wang Shufen, surprisingly took the initiative to greet her today.

Lu Ya also recognized Xie Zheng.

She is her aunt's cousin.

He was also her cousin's childhood friend.

"Brother Xie Zheng, are you here for a medical checkup too?"

Lu Ya noticed the middle-aged woman next to Xie Zheng and asked without thinking, "Is this your mother?"

Wang Shufen tugged at her daughter and whispered a reminder, "No, don't talk nonsense."

Xie Zheng's parents are not in Nancheng; I heard they both went to work in other places.

The nature of the work seems to be quite unique.

In short, I haven't been back for several years.
