Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179 Take Another Step Forward and Try
“Sorry, I’m not equipped to treat insomnia. You should seek a professional doctor for help. Apologies, but we have other matters to attend to, so we’ll be taking our leave first.”
“Luo Qiao, you can’t just leave. Even if you’re not a specialist, how will you know if you can’t treat it without looking at him? Countless doctors couldn’t heal my father-in-law’s leg, but in the end, didn’t you manage to cure him?”
“That’s because I happened to be skilled in treating Elder Zhong’s condition. I’m not skilled in treating your son’s illness, so I shouldn’t delay you from finding someone else who can.”
“You can’t just turn a blind eye to someone dying, where’s your medical ethics?”
Luo Qiao laughed: “Forget the fact that I genuinely lack the expertise to treat his condition, even if I could treat it, I still wouldn’t. The guy’s a total scumbag, having hurt Sister Jianing. Where do you even get the audacity to come to me for help?”
“You can’t just ignore this, he’s being tormented at night, unable to sleep, and it’s making his life unbearable. Please, show some kindness.”
Luo Qiao stopped paying attention to her and began to walk away with her child. Zhang Caiqin tried to grab Luo Qiao but was quickly blocked by Lu Yichen: “If your son is sick, take him to the hospital. What do you mean by stopping us here on such a day? The Zhong Family really knows no propriety.”
After shielding his wife and daughter, leading them to the car, Zhang Caiqin still tried to intercept them. Lu Yichen said, “Take one more step forward and see what happens. Do you think I’m dead?”
Lu Yichen’s presence rooted Zhang Caiqin in place, and people around started murmuring, some speculating that Zhang Caiqin had come specifically to make trouble, others commenting on how the Zhong Family has declined since the death of Elder Zhong.
Some said that the Zhong Family really knew how to disgust people by sending Zhang Caiqin intentionally to cause trouble. Others noted that such people are best kept at a distance, considering they criticize someone who saved Elder Zhong and accuse them of lacking medical ethics.
Luo Qiao did not take the matter seriously, just assuming that Zhang Caiqin was being vindictive and looking for trouble on purpose.
After attending the wedding banquet, Luo Qiao did not return to the Yuan Family but instead drove directly to the Jing Family. Firstly, she wanted to visit Yuan Jianing, and secondly, as she could not stay long in the country, she wanted to check in on Old Master Jing.
She also came by to see Jing Wanpeng, curious whether his previous illness had been cured. As the only fellow ‘townspeople’, it was important to show care for each other.
When Luo Qiao arrived, besides Elder Jing, everyone from the Jing Family was still at the banquet and had not yet returned.
The butler welcomed her family of four into the house and even brought out Elder Jing.
Seeing the newcomer, Luo Qiao stood up with a smile: “Grandpa Jing, long time no see.”
Old Master Jing’s face lit up with a smile: “Luo Qiao, how long can you stay this time?”
“I took ten days off for the trip, so I still have four days left.”
Looking at Lu Yichen’s children, Yanyan and Yueyue, he said to Lu Yichen: “These are your twin daughters, they’ve grown quite lovely.”
Lu Yichen nodded: “Yanyan, Yueyue, greet him. This is your Great Grandfather Jing.”
The children stepped forward and greeted him politely.
Old Master Jing was visibly delighted, and ordered the butler to bring a pair of Jade Pendants: “This is my gift to you for our meeting, please accept it.”
The children looked hesitantly towards their father, Lu Yichen nodded lightly: “Since it’s from Great Grandfather Jing, you should accept them. Thank you, Great Grandfather Jing.”
The children said crisply: “Thank you, Great Grandfather Jing.”
Elder Jing chuckled heartily: “Good children, please take a seat.”
The butler whispered a few words in Elder Jing’s ear, and Old Master Jing burst into a hearty laugh, then energetically said: “Bring over those three Jade Medallions made from the same material.”
Laughing, he gave Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen a thumbs-up: “You two really are something, how old are your triplets now?”
Luo Qiao then realized that the butler must have mentioned this to Elder Jing.
Luo Qiao replied with a smile: “Six months old now.”
Elder Jing boomed jovially: “Congratulations to you both, having a pair of each — son and daughter. You really make others envious.”
Luo Qiao laughed: “We were fortunate enough to have them, and by chance, we got the opportunity for a second-child permit, so it’s really their good fortune.”
Hearing this, Elder Jing laughed too: “The three little ones are blessed and, of course, so are the two of you as parents.”
