271 Don’t Take it if you’re Embarrased
Just then, Mo Bei and his men walked out from the corners. They stared at grandpa Liang angrily, “You go ahead and try to touch something in here.”
Grandpa looked at Zhao Lingfeng then looked at Mo Bei and his people. It was obvious that these people were not normal people.
Now, grandpa Liang finally realized something. For Baohe Tang to have such a grand opening meant the person supporting this business had much influence.
Grandpa Liang was instantly mute. His grandson’s ability to have children was going to be taken away. However, no other hospitals or clinics would accept his grandson as a patient.
At least Baohe Tang could ensure his life was saved.
Grandma Liang grabbed onto grandpa Liang and screamed, “Let them save Ziwen!”
Grandpa Liang took another look at Zhao Lingfeng, then finally succumbed.
Though his family was rather powerful in the Qinghe District and they managed to use their daughter to create ties with government officials, compared to truly impressive people, his family was nothing.
“Owner Zhao, I am sorry for being so flustered just now. Please save my grandson’s life.”
Zhao Lingfeng’s eyes were not friendly, “I cannot promise your grandson can still use his bottom half. I can only save his life.”
At this point, grandpa Liang had no strength left to play hardball. He was stereotypically the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
“Okay. As long as Baohe Tang saves his life, I promise I won’t stir up any trouble.”
Zhao Lingfeng hissed, “If it weren’t for Baohe Tang’s reputation, I wouldn’t even bother.”
He then led Lu Jiao and Qi Lei to the patient’s room.
Lu Jiao found it pitiful that the disagreement ended so soon. She didn’t further comment and left with Qi Lei.
Liang Ziwen was already in the room. His entire face was swollen as he rested on the bed. His bottom half was stripped naked. When Qi Lei got in there, he first shot Lu Jiao a look to find her collected as usual.
Qi Lei subconsciously blocked Lu Jiao’s view a little.
Lu Jiao didn’t say anything and asked Qi Lei to start surgery.
It was Qi Lei’s first time doing such a surgery. His hands shook uncontrollably and he worked hard to follow Lu Jiao’s instructions. Once it was done, Lu Jiao gave Liang Ziwen a shot of antibiotics.
Typically, the dosage of antibiotics for this was controlled. Today, Lu Jiao used a very high dosage.
Too much antibiotics had a negative effect on the liver and Lu Jiao wanted Liang Ziwen to suffer.
As a doctor, Lu Jiao knew she shouldn’t be using her knowledge as a weapon to hurt others. However, Liang Ziwen was someone who’s harmed countless people and she thought she was doing the world a favor by weakening him. Plus, she didn’t take his life.
Given the situation, she planned for him to live the rest of his life in sickness and in a weakened state. He was going to have a hard time walking more than 3 steps without needing to catch his breath.
Once Lu Jiao was done with the injection, she declared, “All done.”
Qi Lei didn’t know much about antibiotics and therefore didn’t notice. Plus, it was his first solo surgery and he felt like a wreck. He didn’t have much energy left to pay attention to the details.
Lu Jiao gave some antibiotic pills to Qi Lei, “Give him these tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, master.”
Lu Jiao then headed outside, leaving behind Qi Lei, who was weak in the knees, to finish up.
The moment she opened the door, the Liang family crowded her, “How did it go? How did it go?”
Lu Jiao was expressionless, “We stitched him up. We’ll have to wait until he wakes up to see.”
Zhao Lingfeng’s people shoo’ed the Liang family away and guided her outside.
As Zhao Lingfeng and Lu Jiao walked, he asked, “How did it go? Is he okay?”
Lu Jiao expressionlessly said, “It’s been reattached. I can’t know for sure if it’s still good to use.”
Zhao Lingfeng studied Lu Jiao and his heart skipped a beat. He somehow believed that if Lu Jiao wanted to save Liang Ziwen, she could’ve. Lu Jiao’s expression right now, however, told him that she didn’t want to save Liang Ziwen. If she had no desire to help, nothing good could come out of it.
This Liang Ziwen did something to offend Lu Jiao.
Zhao Lingfeng’s heart dropped and he silently reminded himself to never offend this woman. There may come a day when he needs her skills.
Crisply, Zhao Lingfeng took a 5,000 taels of silver worth bank note out of his sleeve and placed it in Lu Jiao’s hand.
“This is money for attaching the patient’s arm earlier.”
Lu Jiao smiled at Zhao Lingfeng, “Owner Zhao, you’re being so kind. You’re making me feel embarrassed.”
Zhao Lingfeng watched her take the bank note and put it away. He thought silently, embarrassed? If she was so embarrassed, she shouldn’t be accepting it.
Women were all frauds.
However, he didn’t show any of those emotions on his face and walked Lu Jiao out.
Not far away inside the horse carriage, Xie Yunjin saw Zhao Lingfeng walk Lu Jiao out with a bright smile. Lu Jiao’s face, similarly, radiated with joy.
Xie Yunjin found this blinding and it managed to put him in a bad mood. Once Lu Jiao entered the horse carriage, however, he faked a grin and asked, “The surgery was a success?”
Lu Jiao nodded and then ordered uncle Lin to get them back home.
On the way back, Xie Yunjin said to Lu Jiao in a soft voice, “You seem happy. Did you do something to Liang Ziwen?”
Lu Jiao nodded and happily explained, “Other than that – I’m happy because I got 5,000 taels of silver. You know how I reattached that guy’s arm? Zhao Lingfeng paid me for it.”
Her explanation lifted Xie Yunjin’s mood. Lu Jiao was in good spirits because of the silver, not because of Zhao Lingfeng.
Thinking back, Zhao Lingfeng has always been generous with giving Lu Jiao silver. For Lu Jiao to act so polite around him made sense.
The more Xie Yunjin understood this situation, the better he felt. He said caringly, “You worked all day and had to get up in the middle of the night. You should sleep in tomorrow.”
His gentle tone and caringness made Lu Jiao even happier. She beamed and nodded, “Yes, I’m not working tomorrow so I can sleep more during the day.”
The two chatted as the horse carriage brought them home.
Lu Jiao honestly didn’t want to get up early the next day. However, lots of noises were made early in the morning. There were voices that circulated all throughout the courtyards.
Before the back courtyard gate, the four little ones mumbled and discussed, “Is there a fight happening out in the front?”
“Let’s go check it out.”
The four little ones tried to run but aunt Qiu and Feng Zhi stopped them, “Don’t go right now. If something is up, master and steward Lu will deal with it.”
The four little ones pursed their lips at aunt Qiu and Feng Zhi. They wanted to go.
Just then, from inside the room, Lu Jiao called out, “Feng Zhi.”
The four little ones started to run inside when they heard their mom’s voice.
“Mommy, you’re awake?”
“Did you wake up because of the noise??”
“We want to go see but aunt Qiu and sister Feng don’t let us.”
“Mommy, sister Feng said you are exhausted. You should sleep more.”
The Fourth Born crawled onto the bed and wrapped his arms around Lu Jiao’s neck. He expressed his desire to accompany Lu Jiao in her sleep. It’s been so long since he slept beside his mom and he was more than willing to do that soon.
