Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Such Great Honor

Song Xiaoru gave a slight smile and said, "Third Aunt, actually Xiaodong is really capable now."

Frowning, Third Aunt said, "I’m telling you, Xiaoru, he was always causing trouble before, and I’m worried he’s been mixing with undesirable people. You know, this can easily bring trouble to you. You’re a member of the Song family, but he..."

"Ahem!" Second Uncle, who had been silent until now, coughed and interrupted, "Sister-in-law, don’t be so negative. Xiaodong might have turned out alright."

Meeting Second Uncle’s gaze uneasily, Third Aunt reluctantly said, "You know what they say, you can tell what someone will be like from when they’re young. Look at Xiao Yun and Xian Ping, both so honest. But Xiaodong, he’s been nothing but trouble since he was a boy. Xiaoru is such a good kid, she’ll end up being held back by him sooner or later."

Song Xiaoru felt something was off about Third Aunt’s words, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Most importantly, she didn’t want others to keep seeing Song Xiaodong in that light and said, "That won’t happen, now Xiaodong is the one taking care of me."

"Hmph, I’m just afraid one day he’ll do something and sell you out," Third Aunt said, clearly still discontent.

At that moment, Song Xiaodong came back and said, "Okay, it’s all arranged."

Song Xiao Yun immediately asked, "What’s arranged?"

Song Xiaodong replied casually, "The deluxe ward. We can head over in a bit."

Second Uncle and Second Auntie asked in confusion, "Xiaodong, is this for real or are you pulling our leg? You’re not joking with us, are you?"

Third Aunt even grimaced and said, "You can’t joke about such things, deceiving your uncle and auntie like that."

A bit exasperated, Song Xiaodong said, "Would I joke about something like this? Also, a nurse will come by soon to take you there."

Still holding a grudge against Song Xiaodong for messing up something important in her family, Third Aunt didn’t believe him and said, "You make it sound convincing, but this is a big deal for your Second Auntie’s family. Is it really okay to mess around like this?"

Song Xiaodong, completely tired of dealing with Third Aunt, turned to Song Xiao Yun and said, "Don’t worry about it. I wasn’t able to come back for your wedding, so this time, for the birth, I’ve got to help out."

"Dongzi!" With a delicate call, a girl in a light blue nurse’s uniform ran over—it was Lin Su’er. Upon seeing Song Xiaoru, she hurried over and said cutely, "Sister Xiaoru, you’re here too."

Song Xiaoru took Lin Su’er’s hand, smiling broadly, "How did you get here? You’re not a nurse in this department, are you?"

Feeling a bit embarrassed by Song Xiaoru’s question, Lin Su’er stole a glance at Song Xiaodong and swayed coyly, "I just happened to be passing by."

"Passing by, what a coincidence?" Song Xiaoru gave Lin Su’er a wink, her smile growing wider.

Stomping her foot and blushing, Lin Su’er said, "Sister Xiaoru, you’re making fun of me. I just happened to run into Vice President He, and he said Dongzi asked for a deluxe ward arranged, so I ran over to help out."

Song Xiaoru turned to Song Xiaodong and said, "Dongzi, Lin Su’er is here to help, you should go with her and check it out."

Just then, the door to the delivery room opened and a nurse came out carrying a baby, with everyone quickly gathering around.

"Mother and son are both safe, it’s a boy!" the nurse announced with a beaming smile.

Second Auntie hurried over to take the baby carefully while Song Xiaoyuan’s wife was wheeled out. Everyone bustled about, focusing their attention on the mother and son.

"Whose baby is it?" Lin Su’er quietly asked Song Xiaodong.

"I’m the cousin-in-law from my Second Auntie’s family."

"So these people are your relatives," Lin Su’er suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but grin mischievously and blinked, saying, "Feels a bit like an ugly wife meeting her in-laws, huh?"

"Yeah, so nervous... Oh, I’m not," Lin Su’er instinctively replied, but immediately blushed and lightly hit Song Xiaodong, her face turning bright red.

Song Xiaodong just wanted to tease Lin Su’er, but he didn’t expect such a reaction from her, which made him feel a bit embarrassed. He said, "I was just playing with you, don’t take it seriously."

"Annoying!" Lin Su’er hit Song Xiaodong again, but there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Carrying the child and pushing the mother-to-be, everyone walked towards the inpatient department, and when they reached the ward they had previously stayed in, the group stopped in their tracks. Third Aunt looked at Song Xiaodong with a sarcastic tone and said, "Didn’t Dongzi say he arranged for a high-end ward? We don’t have to squeeze in here anymore, right?"

Lin Su’er hurriedly interjected, "It’s already arranged; I’ll take you there right now."

That was said by a pretty nurse, which made Third Aunt stunned for a moment. She said, "Really arranged?"

Lin Su’er’s face showed a sweet smile as she said, "Yes, when Dongzi asks for something, our hospital naturally makes it happen right away."

Third Aunt’s eyes widened as if she couldn’t believe her ears. She said, "This... what does this mean? If Dongzi asks, the hospital just does it? Is he the president?"

Lin Su’er’s smile grew even sweeter as she crisply said, "That’s not it. But Dongzi is indeed the most famous doctor in our hospital. Even Vice President He has to be very polite to him. Just now when I was coming over, Vice President He said he would be here in a moment."

"How... how... how could this be possible? How could Dongzi be a doctor?" Third Aunt was utterly baffled.

Not just her, even Second Uncle’s family was completely perplexed.

Song Xiaodong said, "Su’er, hurry and take us there."

"Alright, alright." Lin Su’er quickly agreed and led the way, taking a group of utterly baffled people to a high-end ward.

"Is... is this really for our use?" Song Xiao Yun entered and saw the facilities in the ward, which seemed like a luxury hotel; she stood there, hardly daring to take a step, and cautiously asked.

Lin Su’er said with a full-faced smile, "Yes, if you have any requests, you can tell the nurses here, and you can also call me."

"This... how much does this cost per day?" Second Auntie stuttered.

Lin Su’er chuckled lightly and said, "For a mother-to-be, the cost here should be around one thousand five hundred per day."

"One thousand five..." Second Auntie’s family all had twitching expressions, the cost was just too high. Even though Song Xiaodong had given them five thousand, they felt they couldn’t afford it.

Lin Su’er immediately added, "But don’t worry, with Dongzi here, our hospital won’t charge you. All the costs are waived."

"What?" Everyone stared at Song Xiaodong with wide eyes. Could Song Xiaodong really have such clout? How was that possible?

Especially Third Aunt, her face now indescribably weird. She had always looked down on Song Xiaodong and had been sarcastic toward him. Now suddenly discovering that Song Xiaodong’s clout was so significant, what about her...
