Cloud Village was an especially remote and backward mountain village, not far from Yun County, which wasn’t much better. Fresh chapters posted on novelꜰire.net
The medical conditions in the county were limited, compounded by the lack of medical personnel. Every night, emergencies had to be sent to the city.
Aunt Wang and the others were all aware of this situation.
But now that Granny Zhang trusted Chi Gui and the village chief had no objections, Aunt Wang didn’t say anything.
However, upon arriving at the hospital and getting out of the car, she quietly instructed Wang Lulu, "There’s a good chance we won’t be able to do an examination later. Look for an opportunity to check on your Granny Zhang. If there’s nothing serious, I’ll persuade Chi Gui to go back first."
The village chief was walking ahead of them. He paused when he heard this but did not object.
Wang Lulu pouted unhappily, "If they all trust Chi Gui so much, why should we interfere? It’s a thankless task."
Aunt Wang gently patted Wang Lulu’s head, "Wasn’t your Granny Zhang good to you when you were little? How other people act, what does it have to do with you?"
Wang Lulu muttered softly, "She wasn’t better to Chi Gui than to me!"
"Chi Gui had no parents when he was young, just a grandmother who was often not at home. Your Granny Zhang was just kind-hearted!" Aunt Wang glared at Wang Lulu.
Wang Lulu shrank her neck and remained silent.
In her heart, she actually wanted to help Granny Zhang, but the incident just now had soured her mood; she didn’t want to clean up after Chi Gui.
"Then later, she’d better apologize to me first," Wang Lulu added as they neared the hospital.
Before she could finish, she saw several doctors standing at the entrance. Her pace halted abruptly, and her expression turned strange.
Even Wang Shuai was looking suspiciously at the lead doctor at the front, his expression a mix of shock and disbelief.
Only Chi Gui, supporting Granny Zhang, walked up to the lead doctor with a normal expression. They were too far away for Wang Lulu to hear what Chi Gui and the doctor were discussing.
She just saw the doctor nod his head and walk into the hospital with Chi Gui.
Village Chief Wang followed them in.
"What happened?" asked Aunt Wang, puzzled.
"That old doctor... looks a bit like Dean Wu..." Wang Lulu said, then feeling it impossible, shook her head, "I must have seen wrong."
During the entrance ceremony at Huaxia University, Dean Wu had been specially invited to give a speech.
Wang Lulu had only glanced at him from a distance and wasn’t too certain.
But she couldn’t imagine why Dean Wu would appear in a small county town in the middle of the night.
Wang Shuai didn’t speak. He too thought they must have been mistaken.
The three of them entered the hospital a few steps behind Chi Gui and the others, only to find that Granny Zhang had already been taken to the CT room for scans.
Village Chief Wang was arranged to rest in a small bedroom next to Academician Wu’s office.
Everything was orderly. The familiar-looking old doctor sat behind the desk, contacting the hospital Granny Zhang had previously visited.
Normally at this time, unless it was an emergency patient, other hospitals wouldn’t send over medical records.
Yet, just two minutes after the doctor’s phone call, Granny Zhang’s medical records were faxed over.
Wang Lulu and Wang Shuai stood there dumbfounded, from start to finish they had been of no help, in fact, quite the contrary.
Feeling awkward, the driver who had brought them came over politely, "Hello, can I take the three of you back to rest?"
Wang Lulu and Wang Shuai were only too eager to leave, and although Aunt Wang was somewhat worried, seeing that they were not needed here, she followed the driver.
Back at the house, the three of them began to realize something.
To arrange everything so quickly was not something ordinary people could do.
"Chi Gui... seems pretty capable?" Wang Shuai said nervously.
Wang Lulu snorted, "It must be her boyfriend helping... I must say, having a wealthy boyfriend is indeed quite impressive."
Wang Shuai said nothing.
"Alright, let’s all try to sleep," urged Aunt Wang.
But that night, neither Wang Lulu nor Wang Shuai slept well.
Chi Gui had calmed Granny Zhang to sleep and came out to see Zhiyuan sitting with the examination results, waiting for her.
Chi Gui’s hand on the doorknob tightened slightly, "Are the results not good?"
