Chapter 2164: Chapter 2020: Melodrama of Suffering (Part 3)

"They weren’t considerate of us at all; they were just repaying a favor because Director Zhao once helped his wife. But we ended up chasing him away." Wang Xingye said.

"No wonder the medicine he gave mom was so miraculous. Dad took a breath, coughed, and got better right away!" Zhang Shuyun said.

"Sigh... Even Professor He can’t invite him. We should keep our distance from Song Xiaodong and avoid provoking him." Wang Xingye shook his head.

"We didn’t even ask him to treat us; he saw that the old man was in bad shape and couldn’t bear it, so he left a bottle of medicine to save Dad’s life." Zhang Shuyun said.

At this point, the youngest daughter Wang Rui called Wang Xingye.

"Hello? Brother, how is everything?" Wang Rui asked about Wang Xingye’s situation.

"Sigh..." Wang Xingye sighed before speaking.

"What’s wrong, brother?" Wang Rui asked Wang Xingye.

"We shouldn’t even think about Professor He’s mentor." Wang Xingye said to Wang Rui.

"What’s the matter, he’s just a young guy, couldn’t we just give a little money to the old man’s young mentor?" Wang Rui said.

"Shut up. Young guy? That’s why people get offended." Wang Xingye was already annoyed and couldn’t help but scold Wang Rui after hearing her words.

"What’s wrong with you? Why are you yelling?" Wang Rui, pampered since childhood and doted on by two brothers, couldn’t help but yell back at her brother when she heard him inexplicably losing his temper with her, her tone raised by eight degrees.

"We’re lucky he left, and wouldn’t hold it against you; otherwise, you’d offend someone without even knowing why!" Wang Xingye shouted at Wang Rui.

"Who have I offended? Isn’t it just that physician? I didn’t say anything wrong. It’s you who looks down on Traditional Chinese Medicine physicians! Why are you blaming me? You’re the one who went to see Professor He and made him so angry, even taking mom to ask for favors from Professor He, how can you feel good about that? Who are you to criticize me?" Wang Rui started retorting Wang Xingye like a machine gun.

"Do you even know who that physician is?!" Wang Xingye was angry and shouted into the phone, his spit flying across the screen.

"Even if it’s someone, it’s just a physician, what’s the big deal? Nowadays, it’s patients who beg physicians? What kind of world is this?" Wang Rui shouted back at Wang Xingye, and even though Wang Xingye didn’t have the speakerphone on, Zhang Shuyun could hear clearly from beside him.

"How can someone feel cramped begging a physician? Go to a hospital and see how patients treat their physicians like gods! Is this physician just anyone? Even if you beg, you won’t succeed!" Wang Xingye shouted at Wang Rui.

Zhang Shuyun tugged at Wang Xingye’s sleeve and gently said to him, "Speak calmly!"

"Which physician is so arrogant?"

"Song Xiaodong!"

On the other end of the call, Wang Rui fell silent upon hearing these three words.

"Speak!" Wang Xingye gasped heavily, eyebrows raised high. When he heard Wang Rui fall silent, he shouted at her.

"He’s Song Xiaodong?" Wang Rui’s anger dissipated completely, and she asked Wang Xingye in confusion.

"Of course I’m joking with you!" Wang Xingye rolled his eyes at Wang Rui.

"Why didn’t Director Zhao say so in advance?" Wang Rui also blamed Director Zhao.

"It’s their kindness; what’s the point of blaming them?" Wang Xingye scolded Wang Rui again.

"Then what should we do?" Wang Rui was at a loss.

"How would I know?"

"Should we go and earnestly invite Mr. Song?" Wang Rui tentatively asked Wang Xingye.

"Do you forget what we said when he came? The fact that he didn’t lose his temper on the spot was considerate enough, and now you want to invite him? Aren’t you just asking for trouble?" Wang Xingye said.

"What can we do? Doctor Li said that though Dad isn’t in immediate danger now, we don’t know when he might relapse. By then, the chances of a successful surgery will be even lower." Wang Rui said, on the verge of tears.

"Why are you crying? Where did your arrogance go just now?" Wang Xingye didn’t care about Wang Rui’s state and continued to scold.

"Why do you keep blaming me? I didn’t do it on purpose, and besides, it wasn’t just me; everyone was talking!" Wang Rui said while crying.

"Alright, alright, stop talking!" Zhang Shuyun snatched the phone from Wang Xingye and said to him.

Then Zhang Shuyun comforted Wang Rui on the phone: "Alright, little sister, don’t cry. It’s getting late; go to bed early, and we’ll discuss tomorrow."

After that, she hung up the phone.

The next day, Yu Xiulin, Wang Xingye, Wang Xingjia, and Wang Rui all went to the Su Family Courtyard.

At the Su Family Courtyard gate, luxury cars came and went. Two family guards, tall and imposing in black suits and sunglasses, stood on each side of the doorway, exuding authority.

Yu Xiulin, Wang Xingye, Wang Xingjia, and Wang Rui looked inside the courtyard, which was filled with gardens, groves, fake mountains, and rocks - all lavishly decorated yet understated, showcasing a prosperous atmosphere of a prominent family.

In contrast, the Wang Family, relying on the old man’s status, seemed like mere common folk.

"Hello, we’d like to see Patriarch Song, please inform him."

They reported layer upon layer inside.

Song Xiaodong was in the middle of alchemy, ending up with a pot of burnt charcoal that made smoke billow throughout the hallway.

Miao Qingqing frowned and stood in the hallway, shouting at Song Xiaodong: "Stop making biochemical weapons! It’s suffocating!"

Miao Xuanxuan was inside, playing games on her phone while shouting: "Spend some money and buy an exhaust hood; it wouldn’t cost much!"
