Chapter 322: Chapter 322: The Dragon Has Nine Sons, Each Different from the Others

"I remember the cocktail party ten years ago when your parents brought you along; you were just a little thing back then. Who would’ve thought, ten years have gone by, and that little thing has turned into a beautiful young lady!"

Lu Xingping scrutinized Ye Wumei and laughed heartily.

Li Yujie, unlike her husband, wasn’t "ignorant," and said with a smile, "The Ye family’s girl is now a famed diva in the music world. There are many fans of hers in our unit. I once heard this saying: ’Wherever there are Chinese people, the songs of Ye Wumei can be heard.’ That shows how influential the Ye family’s girl is!"

Lu Xingping nodded and said, "Good! Ye Xing has raised a fine daughter. Ye girl, remember to send my regards to your father later!"

After chatting with Ye Wumei for a while, the couple turned the conversation to Fang Bai.

"Doctor Fang, how come you two are here?"

Lu Xingping knew that Fang Bai had been interning at Yanjing Hospital and was curious to see him here.

Fang Bai answered casually, "I’m accompanying Wumei to visit a friend of hers. Uncle Lu, your family is here because..."

"Deputy Minister Jiang’s daughter fell ill and was hospitalized, so we came to pay a visit."

Lu Xingping said, looking thoughtfully at Fang Bai.

Before coming to the hospital, Lu Xingping had already learned that Jiang Huaihe’s daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer and knew that two National Doctors were invited by the Jiang Family for treatment.

In Lu Xingping’s opinion, however, cancer was not a minor illness, and even with the intervention of the two National Doctors, there was no guarantee of a cure.

Back when Lu Xingping’s younger son, Lu Jianfeng, was critically injured in a car accident, hanging by a thread, the hospital was at a loss, yet Fang Bai managed to pull his son back from the brink of death in a short time. Such miraculous medical skills left Lu Xingping feeling that not even today’s four National Doctors could necessarily achieve such a feat.

He wondered if Fang Bai could potentially cure Jiang Huaihe’s daughter’s breast cancer.

That was what Lu Xingping was thinking.

However, Lu Xingping merely thought about it and didn’t dare to carelessly "matchmake" in such matters, lest it upset Fang Bai.

As soon as Fang Bai and Ye Wumei heard that Lu Xingping and his wife were there to see Jiang Xiaoyu, they exchanged a glance, their mouths revealing a wry, helpless smile.

"I need to get back to work... Uncle Lu, Aunt Li, we’ll chat another time when we’re free. Jianfeng, let’s have a drink together when you’re available!"

Checking the time, Fang Bai spoke to Lu Xingping and his wife and then greeted Lu Jianfeng.

"Okay!"

Lu Jianfeng hurriedly nodded and bowed in agreement, looking very honored to have the opportunity to drink with Doctor Fang.

Usually, when Lu Jianfeng saw Fang Bai, they were friendly and brotherly, but in the presence of his parents, he dared not show the slightest disrespect to Fang Bai, as that would result in a scolding from his parents.

"Who would have thought that Doctor Fang would be with the Ye family’s girl..."

"Yes, I had thought that Wen Rou would become his girlfriend. What a pity..."

Watching Fang Bai and Ye Wumei drive away, Lu Xingping and his wife shook their heads and sighed again.

Afterward, the family of three entered the hospital’s inpatient building and, on the sixth floor in front of the intensive care unit, they met Zhao Xinran, who was anxiously waiting in the corridor.

"Minister Lu, Yujie, you’ve arrived."

As the figures of Lu Xingping and his wife appeared in the corridor, Zhao Xinran immediately went to greet them.

"Xinran, how is Fish doing?"

Li Yujie hurried forward a couple of steps, grasped Zhao Xinran’s hand, and asked with concern.

The Lu and Jiang families were political allies, and Li Yujie and Zhao Xinran both worked at the Yanjing Education Bureau, with a superior-subordinate relationship. They supported each other in their work, and their private relationship was also quite good.

Therefore, upon learning that the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Huaihe had been hospitalized, Mr. and Mrs. Lu Xingping rushed to visit right away.

Hearing Li Yujie’s inquiry about her daughter’s condition, Zhao Xinran’s nose tingled, and she forced a smile, "The doctors in the hospital said the situation isn’t too optimistic, and it’s very likely that a surgery to remove the left breast will be needed. However, just now National Doctor Ren and National Doctor Hua came together, and Huaihe is currently accompanying them in the ICU to check on Fish’s condition. I don’t know what they’ll say."

Li Yujie comforted her again, "The two National Doctors are very skilled, one in traditional and the other in Western medicine. Treating jointly, they will surely be able to cure Fish."

"I hope so."

Lu Jianfeng, who was standing by, thought of Fang Bai and Ye Wumei, who had just left, and suddenly asked, "Aunt Zhao, do you know Ye Wumei?"

Lu Jianfeng knew Ye Wumei and Jiang Xiaoyu were close friends, and when they encountered Fang Bai outside earlier, Fang Bai had said he was accompanying Ye Wumei to visit a friend. Lu Jianfeng concluded that Ye Wumei’s friend was very likely Jiang Xiaoyu.

What Lu Jianfeng couldn’t understand was why Ye Wumei, knowing Fang Bai’s medical expertise, hadn’t asked him to treat Jiang Xiaoyu if she was bringing him along.

Zhao Xinran was slightly startled when Lu Jianfeng suddenly mentioned Ye Wumei, then she nodded, "Yes, I know her! She came with a friend just now to see Fish, but knowing they were busy, I didn’t keep them and let them go first."

"They just came to see Fish, without saying anything else?"

Lu Jianfeng continued to probe.

In Lu Jianfeng’s opinion, Ye Wumei bringing Fang Bai along meant it probably wasn’t just a simple visit to a sick friend.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaoyu’s Aunt, Jiang Xiuli, interjected, "That Ye family girl said her friend was a doctor and even wanted to let her friend treat Fish... Really, her friend is at most in his early twenties, and he’s also a practitioner of traditional medicine, what kind of illnesses can he treat? Only a fool would let him!"

"..."

Watching Jiang Xiuli’s scornful attitude, the three members of the Lu Xingping family exchanged glances, their faces showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

After all, it was Fang Bai who had cured Lu Jianfeng’s critical injuries from a car accident, and Jiang Xiuli’s words were tantamount to ridiculing the Lu family.

"Yujie, what is this...?"

Zhao Xinran, who was very attentive to details, noticed the displeased expressions on the Lu Xingping family and sensed something was amiss.

"You, you... Ah, Xinran, how should I even begin to tell you? Wumei’s friend... Doctor Fang is no ordinary person! You have driven away a Divine Doctor who came knocking at your door!"

Li Yujie stamped her foot and sighed.

"Divine Doctor?"

Zhao Xinran couldn’t reconcile Fang Bai’s young face with the title of "Divine Doctor" in her mind.

"Hah, if that kid is a Divine Doctor, then I’m afraid all the doctors in the world are Divine Doctors!"

Jiang Xiuli pursed her lips, her tone laced with disdain.

The dragon has nine sons, each different from the last.

Although the Jiang family produced many talents, Jiang Xiuli’s emotional intelligence was not very high. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been stuck in a minor department holding a sinecure. Even now, she had not realized that her words had caused dissatisfaction among Mr. and Mrs. Lu Xingping.

Especially the last sentence she had uttered, which was like questioning Li Yujie, as if saying Li Yujie was lying about Fang Bai being a Divine Doctor.
