“Oh… oww! Oh… oh… ah… ahh oww…”
Ye Meiru’s cries of agony echoed intermittently, leaving Jing Zhe with no choice but to brace himself and go inside. As a doctor, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing, no matter how much he disliked this woman.
“Jing… Jing Zhe…” Ye Meiru rolled her eyes, looking at him like a dying fish, “Save… save me…”
Sighing, Jing Zhe stepped forward to check her, “How do you feel right now?”
“It’s just… just a pulling pain in my lower abdomen…”
Qiang Yuxian hurriedly interrupted her, “Xiao Zhe, there was bleeding just now, do you think this child can still be saved?”
Ye Meiru’s pale face and sweat beads made it clear she wasn’t faking it. Jing Zhe stopped hesitating and put on rubber gloves, looking at her seriously, “Lie flat, let me check you.”
“No need to check, I studied medicine too, I know myself, it’s definitely a miscarriage warning. Promise me, take me as your assistant, or I’ll just die here.”
“Threatening me with your life, is that fun?” Jing Zhe looked at her indifferently, “If it really is a miscarriage warning, injecting progesterone now still has a chance of saving it.”
“If you don’t let me be your assistant, I don’t care whether the child lives or dies, nor my own life. Do you agree or not?” Ye Meiru stared straight at him, “My life and my child’s life are in your hands, decide for yourself.”
“Xiao Zhe, promise her…” Qiang Yuxian knelt in front of Jing Zhe with a thud, “Think of it as Auntie begging you, it’s still a life, save her, Auntie will definitely repay you, it’s not like I’m asking you to marry her, just agree, Xiao Zhe, I’m begging you…”
Seeing Jing Zhe frowning and silent, Qiang Yuxian turned to her husband, “What are you standing there for? Your daughter’s life is at stake, and you can still stand there?”
Standing beside Ye Zhonghe, Jing Monian also frowned deeply. He couldn’t believe his son was facing such a situation, and he was also very angry at Ye Zhonghe’s earlier actions. His daughter was important, but was his son not?
If Ye Meiru really started working beside his son, would his family have any peace?
Yes, Xiao Zhe wasn’t marrying Ye Meiru, just becoming an assistant, but with Ye Meiru’s personality, would she not cause trouble? If she didn’t cause trouble, why would she force Xiao Zhe to take her as an assistant this way?
If Ye Meiru stayed by his son’s side every day, would the future daughter-in-law feel secure? Considering she could stoop to Huang Baoquan, the future daughter-in-law wouldn’t feel secure, and neither would he!
But at the moment, he couldn’t come forward to say anything. As a doctor, watching a life slip away in front of him, he wouldn’t be a qualified doctor.
His son had missioned with the team before, having extensive experience in many areas, yet he had no experience in gynecology. Otherwise, regardless of how the Ye Family viewed it, he would seize this task.
When he snapped back to reality, he found his son already helping Ye Meiru check the fetus…
Had he agreed or not? Jing Monian was bewildered and blamed himself for spacing out at such a crucial moment.
“Don’t engage in strenuous activities for the time being, or even a god can’t save the child in your womb…” Jing Zhe warned Ye Meiru sternly, “Don’t blame me for not warning you. If you lose this child, you can forget about being a mother in this lifetime.”
Ye Meiru stayed silent, so Qiang Yuxian replied on her behalf, “Xiao Zhe, rest assured, I’ll definitely take good care of her, and definitely follow your instructions to ensure nothing happens again.”
Jing Zhe looked at her indifferently, “Auntie Ye, I have no concerns about this matter. I’m only fulfilling my responsibility as a doctor telling her what she should do. Specifically, it’s up to her.
Her life is her own, and the child is her own, whether she wants it or not is her decision. As a doctor, I can only fulfill my responsibilities.”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Qiang Yuxian nodded repeatedly but noticed her two sisters-in-law standing aside, causing her smile to freeze—being laughed at again!
After pushing a dose of progesterone and observing for a while, Jing Zhe stood up to take his leave.
“Did you agree with her or not?” Once the car drove away from the Ye Family gates, Jing Monian eagerly looked at his son and asked, “Don’t tell me you agreed with her.”
“Do you think I had any other choice?” Jing Zhe looked at him expressionlessly, “When your son faced difficulties, you just stood there spacing out, you really are something.”
“My mind just short-circuited at that moment, Xiao Zhe, have you considered that if you agreed, there’d be endless troubles in the future.
What’s her character like, as if you didn’t know? And why does she insist on being your assistant? The reason is too simple. Zeng Meili is Zhou Mikang’s cousin and your fiancée, while Chuxia is your god-sister and also the Wife of Zhou Mikang.
The two of them are both connected to Zhou Mikang. What she wants is to stay by your side every day to disgust them and attract Zhou Mikang’s attention!”
“Dad, I didn’t realize you understood so well…” Jing Zhe turned to look at Jing Monian, shaking his head with amusement, “If you’re so clear about this, why can’t you handle your own emotional matters?”
Jing Monian scratched his head, embarrassed: “It’s hard to see clearly when you’re in it yourself.”
“Dad, tell me the truth, do you still have a place for Auntie Jiang in your heart now?”
“Get lost!” Jing Monian pushed him, “Is this the kind of question to ask your father?”
Jing Zhe laughed and said, “Dad, don’t think of me as your son right now, just as a friend, a very understanding one at that. Let’s talk heart-to-heart.”
“Talk about what? Since we’re here, let’s first go wish Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou a Happy New Year. And let them know about Ye Meiru’s situation so there are witnesses when Meili misunderstands you.”
“Alright.” After a moment of hesitation, Jing Zhe agreed. Although his grandparents and mom would be anxiously waiting at home, since they were already at the Zhou family’s door, they decided to greet them first.
As soon as the car stopped, they heard the deafening laughter from inside the house. Jing Monian couldn’t help but shake his head, “Your Uncle Zhou is really happy now. He used to complain that New Year’s was too quiet around here. Now it’s lively for sure. Ah, when will our family be this lively for New Year too?”
“Dad, you didn’t have enough sons and daughters, and Grandpa didn’t either, so don’t think about this kind of excitement in the short term.”
“That’s true. It seems…” Jing Monian paused, looking serious, “It seems I’ll have to wait for you to give me a bunch of grandchildren to make it lively.”
Jing Zhe: “…”
The Zhou family had already finished making dumplings. Back in those days, there was no Spring Festival Gala, so Chuxia suggested playing Pass the Parcel, where whoever it lands on has to perform something for everyone’s amusement.
Just as Jing Monian and Jing Zhe walked in, it was Zhou Xikang’s turn to sing. He was completely off-key, yet still belting out the tune, leaving everyone in the room laughing till they were bent over.
Chuxia turned her head and immediately saw the Jing father and son, quickly stood up, “Uncle Jing, Happy New Year! Big Brother, Happy New Year! Where are Auntie Zhu and Grandpa Jing and Grandma Jing?” She asked while stretching her neck to look outside.
Zhou Xikang also quickly stopped singing, looking gratefully at Jing Monian, “Uncle Jing, Jing Zhe, you guys are really my saviors.”
“Hahaha…” Jing Monian laughed and patted him, “It’s the first time I realized someone sings worse than me.”
“Grandpa and Grandma are at home with Mom.” Over there, Jing Zhe was answering Chuxia’s inquiry.
“You came out to celebrate New Year so early?” Chuxia said as she handed him a plate of melon seeds.
“Dad and I came out to handle a few things, and we thought we’d visit Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou first to wish them a Happy New Year…” Jing Zhe laughed as he greeted everyone, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the big family gathering.
Once everyone was settled, Jing Zhe explained about going to the Ye family’s tonight. Finally, he looked at Lin Yanqiu, “Aunt Lin, could you please inform my mother-in-law in advance, so there are no misunderstandings later? I was just worried about Ye Meiru spreading news hastily, which is why I’m mentioning it now. Please pardon my rudeness, Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, and all the uncles and aunts.”
Old Master Zhou waved his hand, “No worries, you’re treating us like family, which makes us happy. How could it be rude?
But honestly, Old Ye really is a concern. I’m just puzzled how someone with such a decent heart ended up with such a whole bunch of troublesome offspring?”
“How can you talk like that in front of the kids?” Old Madam Zhou poked Old Master Zhou angrily, “It’s New Year’s, can’t you at least watch your mouth?”
“Wasn’t I just worried for Old Ye, and accidentally said it out loud…” Old Master Zhou grinned sheepishly at everyone, “I’ll reflect on myself. I’ll perform the next act.”
“Hahaha…” Zhou Huakang laughed, clutching his belly, “Grandpa, you’re really self-aware. If you had gone along with the crowd earlier, you wouldn’t have said the wrong thing. We all want to see you perform a show, and even the heavens are helping us now.”
“Shoo shoo…” Old Master Zhou waved his hand dismissively, “Grown-ups are talking; kids shouldn’t interrupt. I think you’d better practice something quickly yourself so you won’t embarrass yourself like your big brother later.”
Yu Tao chuckled, softly prodding Chuxia who was leaning beside her, “It’s the first time I’ve heard your big brother sing. At school, no matter how people pressured him, he never opened his mouth. Looks like he’s really happy this New Year, so happy he’s willing to make a fool of himself in front of everyone.”
“Sister-in-law, have you ever heard Zhou Mikang sing? Can he carry a tune?” Chuxia’s eyes sparkled with expectation as she looked at Yu Tao. (To be continued.
