Chapter 231 -231 A Pair of Fools (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)
“Please hold on, esteemed experts! My grandfather still needs your care; we can’t just let him continue to suffer with his distorted mouth and squinted eyes, how should he be medicated! We still need you…” Jiang Shaoqing’s words were cut off by an expert who, with a face full of terror, pointed behind Jiang Shaoqing and shouted.
“What are you doing? You…”
“My goodness, is this a doctor? Not even asking for the family’s consent, if you end up killing someone, ten of you wouldn’t match up to one old man!”
“Stop right now!”
The experts became agitated.
Jiang Shaoqing turned around, and at some point when he couldn’t see, Bai Xiao had already taken out an acupuncture kit, and two shiny needles were already inserted into his grandfather’s head.
The trembling silver needles provoked his anger.
This was reckless endangerment of human life!
“Bai Xiao, I’m telling you! If anything happens to my grandfather, I will take your life. Someone call the police and say someone here is recklessly endangering lives.” Jiang Shaoqing couldn’t physically confront Bai Xiao at that moment, because Bai Xiao’s fingers were still on the silver needles.
Although he didn’t know much about acupuncture, he knew that acupuncture had to be done on specific points, and if not done correctly, it could cause severe damage or even death.
Therefore, he dared not act rashly.
He could only stand in front of Bai Xiao and make a scene. At this moment, Jiang Shaoqing really wasn’t calm, and Bai Xiao thought to herself that compared to the Jiang Shaoqing forty years later, the Jiang Shaoqing at this time was just a greenhorn.
Xiaoli bravely stepped forward, blocking Jiang Shaoqing with her hand.
“Don’t disturb Doctor Bai as she treats the patient, and please prepare a cotton coat and some hot water, quickly.”
She now had unconditional trust in Bai Xiao, having witnessed with her own eyes how Bai Xiao had saved a child. That little girl’s survival was proof. Besides, what did these people know about medical skills? 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Jiang Shaoqing wanted to strangle Bai Xiao, but he wouldn’t prepare those things.
“Get out of the way, if she kills someone, you can’t escape guilt either. You two are birds of a feather.” Jiang Shaoqing wouldn’t have laid a hand on a woman if he weren’t so disdainful towards hitting women.
Xiaoli stood firm, facing up to Jiang Shaoqing.
Jiang Shaoqing was furious enough to kill someone.
Still, he was stopped by Wang Han, “Fourth Brother, stop causing trouble, this Bai Xiao is Ayuan’s wife, she wouldn’t harm your grandfather. These things really need to be prepared; last time I nearly died, it was Bai Xiao who saved me.” Seeing Bai Xiao misunderstood, Wang Han couldn’t just stand by, both publicly and privately he couldn’t remain indifferent, he had promised An Zhiyuan to take good care of Bai Xiao.
Jiang Shaoqing pushed him away, “You’re in cahoots with this doctor to deceive our family? Wang Han, I really misjudged you.” He thought Wang Han was protecting Bai Xiao due to his relationship with An Zhiyuan, completely disregarding his grandfather’s health.
Wang Han became anxious, “What are you doing? I would never harm the old man; he’s not only your grandfather, but also an elder who watched me grow up. I know you’re anxious, but you must calm down and think. Am I the kind of person who talks nonsense? Is An Zhiyuan that kind of person? Bai Xiao is his future wife, what benefit would we get from colluding?”
Jiang Shaoqing wasn’t usually someone who would lose his composure! But because of the quack doctor the previous day, his anger had reached an extreme, so this suspicion combined with distrust had amplified several times, making him extremely agitated.
Otherwise, Jiang Shaoqing wasn’t that kind of person.
The experts, seeing that it was a done deal, all sighed with regret, lamenting that a good old man who had survived countless battles was now being tormented by his own people, truly a sign of the degradation of morals.
They couldn’t help but show sympathy for the old man.
Now no one was talking about leaving, just in case something inappropriate happened to the old man, they wanted to be there to provide immediate treatment.
Who knew if, in a moment, instead of just a distorted mouth and squinted eyes, he might start convulsing and foaming at the mouth?
The needles had already been inserted, and it was too late to say anything. No one was trying to persuade anyone now, everyone was just quietly watching to see what the consequences would be. If this young lady was fortunate enough, and the old man showed no response, it would be a blessing from heaven. But if the old man showed the slightest abnormality, it was likely that the people of the Jiang Family in front of them could turn hostile.
After all, the accumulation of many days of depression and agitation had reached a peak and was about to explode. Just by looking at Jiang Shaoqing’s attitude, one could tell he seemed to wish someone would die on the spot.
Xiaoli, seeing that no one paid attention to her and that only Wang Han among the many people present was somewhat on Bai Xiao’s side, of course knew who to talk to, as she could detect who could be influenced and who could not.
She moved closer to Wang Han, “Please get some hot water and a coat, the thicker the better, as Doctor Bai needs them.”
Wang Han glanced at Jiang Shaoqing! Hoping for Jiang Shaoqing’s help was out of the question, thankfully he was familiar with the Jiang Family, so he decided to fetch things himself.
Out of both empathy and reason, he could not just ignore Bai Xiao and went outside to fetch things.
Before long, he returned with blankets and a thermos, and a cup, which was already the limit.
As soon as Xiaoli saw them, she immediately happily took them. Bai Xiao had already instructed her on the way here to make a cup of this cocoa powder, and everything else she handled smoothly.
As soon as the hot water met the cocoa powder, the fragrance filled the room, causing many to shake their heads.
A few experts quietly whispered among themselves, “This is nonsense! Even if the patient wakes up, he can’t drink something like this at this time, it’s like they’re trying to kill him!”
“Exactly, she’s supposed to be a doctor, yet she lacks even this basic common sense!”
“Ah, this truly lacks medical ethics!”
Jiang, the dean, truly regretted his decision.
Why had he invited Bai Xiao? Watching this, he felt uneasy; she clearly wasn’t following the standard medical procedures.
Could such a doctor really cure the old man?
He could hardly believe it.
Could it be that his impulsiveness had endangered his own father?
At this moment, he too became serious, summoning his secretary and the family bodyguards. The Jiang Family came from a distinguished lineage, not only was the old man a leader, but out of his five brothers, three worked in significant government roles, and the remaining two, though one was in business and the other in politics, were both influential figures. They were not easily fooled, and no one could take them lightly.
This young lady must be mistaken if she thought she could deceive or bully the Jiang Family so easily. The dean could make her unable to leave through this door without anyone raising an objection.
Everyone’s attention was on Bai Xiao, watching as the color drained from her face; they didn’t know if it was because the old man had yet to show any response or if she was scared.
They saw Bai Xiao skillfully withdraw the needles and said to Xiaoli standing by her side,
“Plug in that electric vest for me, and the chocolate…” Bai Xiao didn’t finish, but Xiaoli had already sprung into action.
She rapidly helped Bai Xiao into the vest, assisted her to a sofa on the side, plugged in the vest, handed her chocolate that had already been unwrapped, covered her with the blanket from head to toe, and then handed her a hot cocoa drink.
Everyone watched, dumbfounded, as Xiaoli efficiently managed everything, looking as if they were watching a pair of fools.
Why did it feel like the sick person about to die was Bai Xiao, the doctor in front of them? Was she trying to use smoke and mirrors to escape the wrath of the Jiang Family?
Wasn’t that a bit naive? The Jiang Family were no fools.
Many showed a look of contempt.
This young lady was still too inexperienced.
