Chapter 153 Nangong Jing
Chapter 153 Nangong Jing
Jiang Chengyu put his hands in his pockets, with a nonchalant look on his face, and walked slowly into the Central Hospital. The hospital seemed to be always busy, with the hall full of patients queuing for registration, bustling and noisy. Doctors and nurses were like busy bees, shuttling back and forth between the wards and the patients, with a constant flow of people.
Jiang Chengyu was already familiar with everything here, and he walked straight to the intensive care unit.
Xiao Yue stood alone at the window, quietly looking at the old lady inside, his eyes full of worry.
Jiang Chengyu walked into the medical room first. When Xiao Yanfang saw the newcomer, she immediately smiled brightly: "Professor Jiang, you're here?"
Jiang Chengyu nodded slightly, with a hint of casualness between his brows: "You should just call me by my name! Why is it so awkward to suddenly give me a title?"
Xiao Yanfang's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she asked with a smile: "Don't people call you that when you are abroad?"
Jiang Chengyu raised his eyebrows slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "In foreign countries, everyone calls me Mr. Kate, so it sounds more comfortable than Professor Jiang anyway."
Xiao Yanfang smiled mischievously and asked, "So we'll all call you Mr. Kate from now on?"
Jiang Chengyu suddenly laughed heartily, and his laughter echoed in the medical room: "Forget it, just call me by my name! It sounds more intimate."
Xiao Yanfang laughed and asked with concern: "Jiang Chengyu, have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten. Get me some work clothes. I'm going to go see the old lady."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Xiao Yanfang turned and walked inside, her steps light and agile. In a cabinet, she carefully selected a brand new white coat, walked out swiftly, opened the package, and carefully carried it to Jiang Chengyu to help him put it on.
Then, she took out a mask from a medicine cabinet and handed it to Jiang Chengyu, and then she opened a mask and put it on her mouth and nose.
"Thank you, I'll go see the old lady." Jiang Chengyu's voice was steady and gentle.
"Wait a minute, this is the data record of various indicators in the medical records that I made when I took over the shift from Head Nurse Ma this morning."
Jiang Chengyu took the medical record and looked at the changes in the data attentively as he walked. Xiao Yanfang followed closely behind him, and the sound of her high heels hitting the ground echoed in the quiet corridor.
They arrived at the intensive care unit. When they reached the door, they saw Xiao Yue standing quietly at the window, staring intently at the old lady inside, as if the whole world was left with only this small space.
Jiang Chengyu approached Xiao Yue and asked softly, "Where did you rest last night? Did you eat?"
After being scolded by Mu Xiaoji, Xiao Yue became a little more obedient after seeing Jiang Chengyu. He hurriedly shouted respectfully: "Master, I just took a nap here last night and haven't had breakfast yet!"
"There's a restaurant behind the hospital. The old lady doesn't need you to take care of her now. Go have some breakfast by yourself, and then go to the Hailar Hotel across the street and get a room and have a good sleep. This is my ID card. Tell the front desk manager to put it on my bill."
While speaking, Jiang Chengyu took out his ID card and gave it to Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue said gratefully: "Master, this is not good, right?"
Jiang Chengyu pursed his lips, his eyes revealing a hint of majesty: "Do you have a problem with me, or did the lady ask you to do this?"
"No, I was ignorant."
"Go!" Jiang Chengyu said, and gently pushed open the door of the intensive care unit. The door made a slight sound, as if telling of the solemnity and hope here.
He walked straight in. The intensive care unit was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. Looking at the low humming sounds of various instruments, all the data were very stable, and his eyes fell on the infusion bottle that was about to run out.
He whispered, "If the data remains stable, the old lady should be able to wake up around noon."
Xiao Yanfang helped the old lady record the data again. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was afraid of disturbing the sleeping old person.
Then she took the thermometer and put it into the old lady's armpit to measure her temperature.
Song Shijie drove the car steadily into the yard of the Goldsmith Bay Villa. The car stopped slowly, making a slight braking sound.
After Mu Xiaoji got off the car, he watched Song Shijie get off the car as well. He said embarrassedly, "Dad, help me, I left my cane in the hotel."
Song Shijie smiled, and that smile was as warm as the spring sunshine. He reached out and held his son's hand tightly. His hands were broad and strong, conveying endless love.
They walked towards the living room, each step was calm and composed. Shen Rou looked at Mu Xiaoji and asked nervously: "Chenxi, what's going on? Did you have breakfast?"
"Mom, don't be nervous. It was just a misunderstanding. Captain Xing bought breakfast and I've already eaten it."
After saying that, Nangong Yue, president of Nanke Hongchuang Group, stood up with his wife and daughter, and looked at Song Shijie with a smile on their faces.
Nangong Yue said respectfully: "Mr. Song, you are really busy. What are you doing with your son so early in the morning?"
Song Shijie made a gesture for someone to sit down, elegantly and generously: "Brother Nangong, please sit down. What is this?"
Nangong Yue introduced with a smile: "This is my wife Fang Ruping and my daughter Nangong Jing."
Song Shijie helped his son sit down and glanced at Nangong Yue's family.
"Okay, okay. Brother Nangong, what advice do you have for me since you came to visit me so early in the morning?"
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "To be honest, I heard that your son returned to China and the old lady fell ill. In our hometown, there is a saying of "rushing happiness", and it is very effective. I thought of the agreement we made many years ago, and brought my daughter to your nephew to bring happiness to the old lady. I hope the old lady will recover soon."
Nangong Jing blushed, lowered her head, and fiddled with the corners of her clothes nervously. Mu Xiaoji was dumbfounded, muttering to himself: What era is this? They still believe this. But he looked at the serious expressions of the elders and couldn't refute them directly. He could only sit there helplessly, his thoughts drifting away.
Song Shijie smiled slightly, looked at Mu Xiaoji tenderly, took his hand, and said lovingly: "Chenxi, it's rare for your uncle Nangong to come back. You can take Jingjing to visit our house."
Mu Xiaoji's face was dark, and he felt helpless. He said at a loss for words: "Dad, I...it's not convenient."
Shen Rou smiled and pulled Nangong Jing and said, "Jingjing, Chenxi has difficulty walking, so please take care of him."
After that, she took Nangong Jing's hand and walked towards Mu Xiaoji, took Mu Xiaoji's hand, and forced the two of them together.
Mu Xiaoji shouted helplessly and nervously: "Mom..."
Nangong Jing looked at Mu Xiaoji's handsome face, his engraved features, deep eyes, high nose bridge, and slightly pursed thin lips, and had long forgotten about his disability.
Shen Rou smiled and pushed Mu Xiaoji and said, "Chenxi, take Jingjing on a tour. Take your time."
Mu Xiaoji was held by Nangong Jing's hand and half dragged towards the door. The two walked out of the living room and stepped into a flower hall in the yard.
At this time, because it was just the New Year, the temperature was not high and many flowers and plants had not yet bloomed. Only some cold-resistant green plants were still standing stubbornly, adding a touch of vitality to this slightly deserted yard.
Mu Xiaoji walked into the flower hall awkwardly, sat down on the chair, and quickly withdrew the embarrassed hand.
He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was born with a disability and left my cane at the hotel, so I have difficulty moving around."
Nangong Jing smiled sweetly, and that smile was like the brightest flower in spring, instantly lighting up the entire flower hall.
She said softly, "It's okay. I heard that you studied abroad. What major did you study?"
"I study medicine." Mu Xiaoji's voice was calm and steady.
Nangong Jing exclaimed: "Doctor, angel in white, what a respectable profession!"
Nangong Jing blinked her feathery eyelashes, and sat next to Mu Xiaoji coquettishly, and continued to explain: "My father said that Grandma Song was ill. Our two families have been friends for a long time.
Your father and my father once had an agreement that if they got married and had children in the future, they would get engaged and become in-laws.
After your father went to the army, we had less contact. Now that we knew that Grandma Song was ill, my father brought me here to marry her to bring good luck. "
"Have you never had anyone you like in these years? I was born with a disability, so you don't object to your father's arranged marriage for you?" There was a hint of doubt in Mu Xiaoji's eyes.
Nangong Jing smiled sweetly, with confidence and carefreeness in her smile. "I think you are pretty good. I have many suitors around me, but they are not sincere. They just want my family's money to make me happy. They are all vulgar and boring."
Mu Xiaoji suddenly started coughing, and the cough was particularly abrupt in the quiet hall.
Nangong Jing asked with concern: "Chenxi, are you okay?"
Mu Xiaoji said slowly: "I have been weak and sick since childhood, so I am not your ideal man. A good girl like you should not be dragged down by me. When you go back, open your eyes and choose someone who can accompany you for the rest of your life."
Nangong Jing disagreed and said, "Can I understand that you are rejecting me?"
Mu Xiaoji was so upset that he muttered in his heart: "Oh my god, she won't eat it for nothing if I refuse her so bluntly! Why do I need to ask?"
Nangong Jing seemed to understand what was going on in Mu Xiaoji's mind at the moment, and said with a smile: "Chenxi, I, Nangong Jing, have always been the only one who rejects others, and there is no reason for others to reject me.
This is the first time we met today, and you may not know me very well, so I don’t mind what you said to me just now.
I only care about my own voice. You left a good impression on me today. At least your face is pretty. Do you want me to take you home? I'm going home. Where's your phone?"
Mu Xiaoji was left speechless by Nangong Jingzhen. She didn't expect that her shy look was just a disguise.
Seeing her stretching out her slender white hand to ask for his phone, he asked in confusion: "What for?"
"Do you want me to do it myself?" Mu Xiaoji was completely scared and hurriedly took out his cell phone reluctantly.
Nangong Jing took the phone and dialed her own number skillfully. The phone rang instantly.
She quickly saved the phone number for Mu Xiaoji and added the name "wife".
Then he returned the phone to Mu Xiaoji with a smile, waved the phone in his hand and said, "That's all for today. I'm leaving now. Remember to call me."
Mu Xiaoji watched Nangong Jing's quirky figure disappear in the yard, and shook his head helplessly. He opened his phone contacts, found Rong Shishan's number and dialed it.
Soon, Rong Shishan answered the call: "Hello, Xiaoji, what's up?"
"Lao Rong, please help me buy a house near the sea, the sooner the better." There was a hint of urgency in Mu Xiaoji's tone.
"Buy a house? Are you not comfortable living in the Goldsmith Bay villa?" Rong Shishan asked doubtfully.
"No, the little monster likes the beach. Please help me get it done as soon as possible." Mu Xiaoji explained.
"You little brat! Goldsmith Bay is so big that it can't accommodate him?" Rong Shishan teased.
"Yes, he is staying at the Hailar Hotel now. He was arrested by the police as a drug dealer last night! I just asked my dad to bail him out." Mu Xiaoji said helplessly.
"Haha... I think the police are not arresting you as drug dealers, but rather they are cracking down on pornography." Rong Shishan joked.
"Lao Rong, I think you deserve a beating, don't you?" Mu Xiaoji pretended to be angry.
"Okay, no more joking. I'll go show you the house right now." After saying that, Rong Shishan hung up the phone.
Mu Xiaoji was still immersed in Nangong Jing's affairs, his mind was a mess and he didn't know how to deal with this sudden woman.
