Chapter 876: 217: Zheng Suyu Regains Consciousness!_4
Zheng Lingling remained silent.
The doctor continued, "It’s a good thing Xianjing isn’t like you. Xianjing is very smart; she just tends to be a bit impatient sometimes and needs to temper herself." 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
After saying this, the doctor added, "Although your mother didn’t say anything, I can tell that she has become guarded against me. If I get involved in Suyu’s matters, what will happen... well, you should be very aware of that without me saying anything."
The doctor was a clever person, and she could tell Ni Yang was also clever.
That young lady, despite her tender age, was by no means naïve!
Hearing this, Zheng Suyu turned pale, "Does my mother not trust even you now?"
The doctor looked at Zheng Lingling, "Lingling, remember this, outsiders will always be outsiders. If it were you, would you believe your own daughter’s words, or would you trust an outsider?"
"But you’re different!" Zheng Lingling interjected, "You and she have been close friends for over thirty years, closer even than relatives. How, how could she treat you like this!"
The doctor had weathered many storms with her for over thirty years!
How could this old hag be so heartless!
To even doubt the doctor.
The doctor wasn’t angry at all and said with a smile, "People are all self-interested. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with that. I just want to tell you that I can’t intervene in this matter."
"But Ni Yang said she is 10% sure! 10% sure means there’s a glimmer of hope! If you don’t step in, then we can only sit and wait for doom!"
"What’s the rush?" The doctor’s face remained benevolent, "Lingling, have you ever heard this saying?"
Zheng Lingling was not in the mood to play guessing games with the doctor and asked bluntly, "What saying?"
The doctor smiled, "A tree dies when moved, but a person lives on."
"What do you mean by that?" Zheng Lingling was a bit confused.
The doctor looked back at the Zheng Family villa and continued,
"Ni Yang is currently in charge of Suyu’s condition. During this time, try to visit the kitchen as little as possible, and if you must go, avoid doing so when medicine is being prepared. Also, if you’re going to visit Suyu, it’s best to do it with your sister, or accompany your mother. Never leave any backlash that people could talk about."
"Is it really necessary to make it so complicated?" Zheng Lingling felt the doctor was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Very necessary," the doctor insisted. "The Zheng Family of today is not the Zheng Family of the past, especially do not underestimate Ni Yang. That young lady might only be nineteen, but she can handle ten of you easily."
Finally, the doctor added, "I never misjudge people."
Yet Zheng Lingling didn’t feel Ni Yang was impressive at all, "She’s just been lucky to catch the eye of Mr. Tu. It’s pretty shameless, really. On one hand, she’s all lovey-dovey with that useless Mo Qishen, and on the other, she’s flirting with Mr. Tu. I don’t know what Mr. Tu sees in her! If it weren’t for Ni Yang, Xianjing would now be Mr. Tu’s lifesaver!"
"That is Ni Yang’s skill," the doctor said. "In any case, do not underestimate Ni Yang."
After thinking a bit more, the doctor continued, "I remember there was a time when Xianjing and Mo Qishen were quite close, eh? What about now?"
Zheng Lingling replied, "Don’t worry, that’s all in the past. Xianjing isn’t stupid. How could she waste time on someone like that loser Mo Qishen!"
"That’s good," the doctor said, stopping in her tracks. "I’ll leave you here; go back quickly. Remember what I said, and don’t get too involved in Suyu’s affairs."
Zheng Lingling was somewhat worried, "But if I don’t get involved, what if..."
The doctor said with a smile, "Even if something happens, isn’t that child still there? Lingling, we’ll always find a way to keep her quiet."
"Right." Zheng Lingling’s eyes lit up, and she instantly felt relieved, "Take care on your way."
The doctor headed towards the intersection, where a young man on a bicycle came to pick her up, "Auntie."
"Zhigang is here," the doctor said with a smile.
This person was Jiang Zhigang, the doctor’s nephew, twenty-two years old.
Jiang Zhigang was usually lazy and gluttonous, addicted to gambling, and was so desperate for money at times that he would even hit his own parents! But he dared not offend the doctor lightly.
Because the doctor was not only wealthy but also backed by the Zheng Family.
Jiang Zhigang then said, "My dad sent me to pick you up for dinner at our place."
"Alright," the doctor settled herself on the back seat of the bicycle.
