Chapter 1554: Your Daughter Hurt My Sister
Zhu Yanyi knew that the elderly feared loneliness most. Therefore, she naturally allowed Zhu Xinfu to stay, planning to open a private room for her later so she wouldn’t feel awkward.
After settling this matter, Zhu Yanyi returned to her practice chamber. She hadn’t even exchanged two words with Yan Aohan when Gu Jingtian came to find her.
"Junior Sister, someone has come seeking medical help."
"Who is it?" Zhu Yanyi knew Gu Jingtian only brought domestic patients. Only those who could not be treated domestically would come to her for salvation.
"It’s the parents of Liu Peipei, the one who pushed your sister." Gu Jingtian didn’t beat around the bush.
Gu Jingtian knew about what had happened to Zhu Yanli. For the past few days, she had been paying close attention to Zhu Yanyi’s affairs, mainly because her junior sister was fiercely protective of her own.
Of course, this was also a characteristic of the Medicine Sect. Gu Jingtian was protective too. If it were anyone else in this situation, Gu Jingtian would have actively helped Zhu Yanyi save them. But since it was the Liu family, treating the perpetrator was something neither Zhu Yanyi nor Gu Jingtian would be willing to do.
However, this was Zhu Yanyi’s matter, so Gu Jingtian still notified her.
Hearing that the Liu family had arrived, Zhu Yanyi chuckled. "The Liu family is here. That’s interesting. What do you think if I go confront them and humiliate them right to their faces?"
She was asking Yan Aohan, who stood beside her.
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi. "If you want to humiliate them, go ahead. There’s no problem."
With Zhu Yanyi’s current status, although she couldn’t do exactly as she pleased, she could control almost everything. Therefore, even if she went to the Liu family’s face to kick them while they were down, no one would say anything. At most, the Liu family would hold a grudge.
"Then let’s go. Let’s meet this Liu family," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.
Liu’s father was waiting in the reception room of the Capital Hospital. Seeing Gu Jingtian enter first, followed by a young man and woman, he knew the woman must be the Little Divine Doctor.
"Hello, Dean Gu. Hello, Little Divine Doctor."
"Please sit," Gu Jingtian said, pointing to the seats nearby.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan also sat down. Liu’s father got straight to the point. "My daughter broke her leg a few days ago. She is currently hospitalized at the Military Medical Affiliated Hospital. Dr. Feng there said that except for the Little Divine Doctor, there might be no hope for her leg. Therefore, I specially came to ask the Little Divine Doctor to treat her."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Liu’s father and smiled faintly. "Mr. Liu, do you know why your daughter broke her leg?"
"She said she doesn’t remember," Liu’s father answered seriously, then repeated the doctor’s judgment. "My daughter only said that she was resting and sleeping, but when she woke up, she was already at the foot of the mountain. The doctor suspects she has sleepwalking."
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Since she has sleepwalking, there is no need to treat her leg. Even if her leg is healed, she will still get into trouble."
"Can the Little Divine Doctor treat sleepwalking?" Liu’s father asked urgently.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and looked at Liu’s father. "Mr. Liu, let me put it this way. Actually, it is better for Miss Liu to have a broken leg. If she were healthy, she might push a pregnant woman again, causing premature birth."
Liu’s father was stunned. A chill ran through her heart. She remembered the incident a few days ago where Mr. Ye’s student was pushed by her daughter. But she hadn’t cared, and Liu Peipei hadn’t mentioned that Mr. Ye’s student was pregnant. Now it seemed there might be a reason. She looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Little Divine Doctor, can you explain this more clearly?"
"Still not clear?" Zhu Yanyi looked calm. "Since that’s the case, I’ll make it even clearer." Zhu Yanyi looked seriously at Liu’s father, speaking word by word:
"Your daughter, Miss Liu Peipei, pushed a pregnant woman at Mr. Ye Hongguang’s house the day before yesterday, causing her premature birth. This pregnant woman is Mr. Ye Hongguang’s student, and also my sister. My biological sister, sharing the same father and mother."
As soon as Zhu Yanyi said this, Liu’s father’s face turned pale. Zhu Yanyi continued, "Originally, I wanted to settle the score with your Liu family. But just two days later, I heard that Liu Peipei broke her leg herself. It can be considered a small punishment. Therefore, I will not treat Liu Peipei’s leg. I will not save a murderer who bullied my family."
After speaking, Zhu Yanyi stood up. "Mr. Liu, I advise you one last time. Don’t seek medical help anymore. If I, Zhu Yanyi, refuse to save someone, no one in this world will step forward to save her. The fact that I haven’t caused her trouble is already an act of mercy, mainly to accumulate karmic merit for my sister and nephew. Otherwise, do you think I would sit here and talk to you so much?"
"Little Divine Doctor, Little Divine Doctor," Liu’s father stood up. "I really didn’t know about this. It wasn’t…" Liu’s father added, "I knew she pushed a woman a few days ago at Mr. Ye’s house, but I thought it was an accident. And I didn’t know she was pregnant. Mr. Ye didn’t call us. We really didn’t know this situation."
"Mr. Ye didn’t call because it was unnecessary. Your Liu family and the Ye family only have a superficial acquaintance from the same place. There is no real friendship. If you don’t believe me, you can call Mr. Ye yourself. I believe Mr. Ye will give you an answer." Zhu Yanyi’s attitude was very calm. "Mr. Liu, regarding your daughter’s legs, please seek another expert."
It was easy to say "seek another expert," but if the Little Divine Doctor refused to treat someone, how many people in the world would treat them? Liu’s father never imagined his daughter had caused such a huge disaster. He originally thought it was a minor matter. Now he realized it was very serious. The so-called "minor matter" was only what he had thought.
Liu’s father didn’t know how he left the Capital Hospital. He returned to the Military Medical Affiliated Hospital. Looking at his wife, who was taking care of Liu Peipei, he felt a burst of irritation. Did this daughter, who usually looked obedient, really do such a thing?
"Husband, how is it? Is the Little Divine Doctor willing to treat Peipei?" Liu’s mother asked anxiously as soon as she saw Liu’s father return.
Liu’s father didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at Liu Peipei. "Peipei, I’m asking you. Who was the woman you pushed the day before yesterday?"
"What kind of person?" Liu Peipei avoided her father’s gaze, looking a bit guilty.
"You’d better tell the truth, or I won’t recognize you as my daughter anymore," Liu’s father threatened directly.
"She was Mr. Ye’s student. I thought looking at her sheet music was a compliment to her. Besides, I wasn’t refusing to pay. Why was she unwilling?" Liu Peipei absolutely did not think it was her fault.
"So you pushed her. Most importantly, she was eight months pregnant," Liu’s father said directly.
Hearing this, Liu’s mother’s expression also darkened. Although she spoiled her daughter, she knew that if Liu Peipei really pushed a pregnant woman, it was absolutely wrong. She looked at Liu Peipei. "Peipei, did you really push a pregnant woman?"
