Chapter 318: Chapter 318: South Tianpeng, North Juedao
Fang Bai drove to the villa where Ye Wumei lived, and after picking her up, they hurried to Yanjing Friendship Hospital.
Yanjing Friendship Hospital is the best in Yanjing and even in Huaxia for the treatment of various cancers, gathering many famous doctors from both the Chinese and Western medical fields in Huaxia. It is said that Ren Juedao, one of the four great National Doctors, is also the honorary dean of the hospital.
After entering Yanjing Friendship Hospital, Fang Bai and Ye Wumei went straight to the sixth floor of the inpatient department. Outside a critical care unit on the sixth floor, they saw Jiang Xiaoyu’s parents and relatives waiting in the corridor.
There are many influential families in Yanjing. Apart from a few top-level families, there are also first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier families.
Although the Jiang Family is only a first-tier influential family, it is the leader among them, almost on par with the top-tier families.
Jiang Xiaoyu’s grandfather is a veteran in the Huaxia political arena, who once served as a minister in a particular department of Huaxia. Although he has now retired, his former students and acquaintances are spread throughout Huaxia, and he still holds significant influence.
Jiang Xiaoyu’s parents are both powerful figures in office, one serving as the current Deputy Minister of Commerce of Huaxia, and the other as the Deputy Director of the Yanjing Education Bureau.
Jiang Xiaoyu’s uncles and aunts are all influential figures in both the political and business circles of Huaxia, making the entire family prominent.
"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Zhao!"
Ye Wumei hastened her steps, approached Jiang Xiaoyu’s parents, removed her sunglasses that concealed half of her delicate face, and called out gently.
Jiang Xiaoyu’s father, named Jiang Huaihe, is fifty-five years old this year, with a robust build and a dignified appearance. Standing there, he exuded an aura of innate authority.
Jiang Xiaoyu’s mother, named Zhao Xinran, is over fifty but still retains the beauty of her youth as could be seen from her eyes and facial features. Her many years of political career added an aura of superiority to her demeanor.
Ye Wumei and Jiang Xiaoyu are close friends and have visited the Jiang Family several times; thus, Jiang Huaihe and Zhao Xinran both recognized her.
If it were an ordinary day, Jiang Huaihe and Zhao Xinran would have greeted Ye Wumei with smiles and chatted with her, but at the moment, their beloved daughter was lying in the ICU unconscious, and their hearts were filled with sorrow and grief, leaving them no mood for conversation.
Therefore, upon seeing Ye Wumei, the couple just nodded at her as a greeting without speaking.
"Aunt Zhao, how is Fish doing now?"
Ye Wumei stood next to Zhao Xinran and asked softly.
"She’s still in a coma right now. The doctor said it’s temporary, and she should wake up after some time..."
Zhao Xinran, although a strong woman, revealed her inherently fragile side in this moment. As she spoke, her voice choked up and tears rolled down her cheeks once more.
Jiang Huaihe, seeing his wife crying again, heaved a subdued sigh and comforted her softly, "Xinran, you don’t have to be too sad. Medical science is so advanced nowadays, and breast cancer unlike other cancers, still holds a good hope for cure. Besides, we have already sought out both Doctor Ren and Doctor Hua, two National Doctors, for treatment; the hope is greater."
Zhao Xinran took the tissue from Ye Wumei, wiped her tears, and nodded, "The two National Doctors are highly skilled; I hope they can heal Fish."
The Doctor Ren and Doctor Hua that Jiang Huaihe referred to are Ren Juedao and Hua Tianhe, two of the four great National Doctors in Huaxia.
Ren Juedao came from a background in Western medicine and was one of the most authoritative figures in the Western medical community in Huaxia. He was known along with another National Doctor, Huang Tianpeng, as the two guiding stars of Western medicine in Huaxia, earning the accolades of "South Tianpeng" and "North Juedao."
Hua Tianhe was the senior-most member of Rejuvenation Hall’s Hua Family in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, possessing profound expertise. Known as the First Person of Acupuncture in Huaxia, he was as renowned as another traditional Chinese medicine practitioner turned National Doctor, Qian Haoduo.
The four National Doctors were all highly skilled in medicine and exerted an extraordinary influence in the medical field of Huaxia. It was remarkable to engage even one of them for treatment. Now, the Jiang Family had managed to engage both Hua Tianhe and Ren Juedao, one traditional and one Western National Doctor, to treat Jiang Xiaoyu, demonstrating the family’s significant clout.
Fang Bai had long heard of the names of the four National Doctors, but thus far, he had only met Qian Haoduo. As for Hua Tianhe, Ren Juedao, and Huang Tianpeng, these three celebrated doctors from the fields of traditional and Western medicine, he knew them only by reputation and had never met them in person.
"Uncle Jiang, Auntie Zhao, let me introduce you to my friend, Fang Bai. He’s a doctor and very skilled in medicine..."
Ye Wumei was about to introduce Fang Bai to Jiang Huaihe when suddenly, the ringtone of Jiang Huaihe’s mobile phone interrupted her.
"The two National Doctors have arrived. Let’s go downstairs to welcome them,"
Jiang Huaihe said, a trace of joy spreading across his otherwise serious face as he spoke to his wife, Zhao Xinran.
"Wumei, we’ll talk later,"
Zhao Xinran hastily left these words for Ye Wumei and took the elevator downstairs with her husband.
Ye Wumei watched the couple’s backs as they left and then glanced at Fang Bai, a wry, helpless smile forming at the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself, they’re going to welcome National Doctors, yet they have no idea they’re slighting the Divine Doctor right in front of them!
Fortunately, Fang Bai didn’t take offense out of consideration for her, or else, in a fit of pique, he might have just walked out.
In the past, Ye Wumei would have held the four National Doctors of Huaxia in high regard, but after witnessing Fang Bai’s medical skills, she felt as though nothing else could impress her as deeply as the ocean once did.
If there were to be a competition of medical skills within the Huaxia medical community, Ye Wumei was confident enough to bet with anyone that even if the four National Doctors joined forces, they would not be match for Fang Bai.
Ye Wumei had brought Fang Bai here specifically to treat Jiang Xiaoyu, but before she could introduce him to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Huaihe, the two National Doctors, Hua Tianhe and Ren Juedao, had already arrived.
In the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Huaihe, Hua Tianhe and Ren Juedao were of course far more important than Fang Bai, the young doctor. They placed all their hopes for the cure of their daughter’s breast cancer on the two National Doctors. So, upon learning that the two National Doctors were arriving together, the couple immediately went downstairs to welcome them as a sign of respect.
"Wumei, how did you know Xiaoyu was hospitalized? Many relatives of our Jiang Family aren’t even aware of this yet!"
While Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Huaihe went downstairs to welcome the two National Doctors, several of Jiang Xiaoyu’s uncles and aunts stood in the corridor. Jiang Xiaoyu’s aunt, Jiang Xiuli, who had met Ye Wumei a few times, approached Ye Wumei to make conversation.
"I attended the charity auction organized by Xiaoyu last night. This morning, when I called her and she didn’t answer, I called Auntie Zhao to find out what happened and that’s how I learned Xiaoyu was in the hospital."
Ye Wumei was quite familiar with Jiang Xiaoyu’s aunt, knowing her to be somewhat snobbish and extremely proud, always looking down on those whose status and background were lower than her own. Ye Wumei didn’t have a very good impression of her.
