After testing for an entire day, Qiao Ruo's initial exhaustion caused her neck to feel sore and sore when she finished school in the afternoon. The hand that held the brush was a little numb.
"Ruo Chu, the exam questions are so difficult. I don't know many of them." Yao Sian had a worried look on her face.
"Teacher should be trying our luck and won't be included in the official results file. Don't worry." Qiao Ruoxi comforted her.
After hearing Qiao Ruochen's words, Yao Sin Tong relaxed a lot.
Still, she was a little concerned and said with distress, "If my brother had read so well in the beginning, why am I only a rotten wood head?"
Her brother, Yao Ji, was a famous scholar in the country now that he worked in Beiping. It was said that he was able to answer to the teachers in the private school at the age of seven.
Not everyone could compare to a talented individual.
Qiao Ruochu had also heard about Yao Ji more than once.
With her brother like this, Yao Sitong was under a lot of pressure.
"Shitong, can we go find the innocent young master?" This morning, Qiao Ruo had promised Gu Wanjia that she would honor her promise.
Yao Sitong was very nervous. She was going to look for Gu Jun, but who would've thought that Qiao Ruoxi was going as well.
When Qiao Ruo first left, Gu Jun ignored her even more. She would be very embarrassed.
"You also saw what happened this morning. Gu Wanjia said that her mother was sick." Qiao Ruoxi said.
She wanted to tell Yao that she had not gone to find Ku Jun for personal reasons, but because his mother was ill. She had to find a way for him to come home and visit her.
When she said this, Yao Sin Tong felt even more uncomfortable. Even Gu Wanjia knew that the one that Ku Jun liked was Qiao Ruo Chu, and she would listen to Qiao Ruo Chu's words. It seemed like she had even less hope of being together with Ku Jun.
When they arrived at the hospital in the western part of the city, Gu Jun was not in his office as usual. The nurse told them that he was checking his room and told them to sit down and wait for him.
There was a thick dossier on Guijun's desk, and Qiao Ruo started to flip through it. It was all detailed information about each patient that he had personally recorded.
His calligraphy was elegant and handsome. Qiao Ruozhu was very envious of it. Her calligraphy was very hard to take out.
Under his thick dossier, Qiao Ruo found a small jade cicada. It had a smooth and white body, and its wings were as oily as lamb fat. There were some yellow spots on its surface, and the carvings were vivid and lifelike.
He put a square of white silk under it and seemed to cherish it.
There was a lot of stuff stored in the Xiang City, but it was not a rare thing to have a good piece of jade like this in Gu Jun's hands. Qiao Ruo looked at it for a while and then moved away.
Yao Sitong also saw it. She came over to take a look and then said to Qiao Ruoxi, "Young Noble Zhi is such a jade-like person."
"Yan Ruyu?" She giggled.
Yao Sitong reprimanded him, "You're hateful. People are saying that he has a good character."
"Cough, cough."
Gu Jun had returned, and it was unknown when he had already stood behind them.
Qiao Ruo Chu turned around and saw that his gaze was gently and affectionately on her. In an instant, she became restrained.
"Ruoxi, Stone, you're here?" He greeted them with the same gentleman.
"Mm, we came to see you." Yao Sitong rushed to answer.
He washed his hands and refilled their cups of tea. He quickly recorded the results of his rounds in his notebook. He was extremely serious about his work.
The western part of the Xiang City hospital was a place where people were in urgent need of money. They had to go to other hospitals to see him. Business was poor, and there weren't many patients who came in a day.
After Gu Jun arrived, he rescued a few dying patients. When these people returned, they all said that the young master of the Gu family was easy to get along with, that he was truly capable.
Currently, the hospital's income and expenditure was almost even. He wrote letters to his foreign classmates, planning to buy a batch of advanced equipment. In this way, he would be able to turn the tables around.
Gu Jun's reputation in the city was also growing. Everyone said that dragons born dragons, phoenixes born phoenixes born phoenixes, children of the Gu family, they were strong in every way.
When he had finished, he cleared the table and turned his chair to speak to them.
"Young Master Zhi, I heard from Miss Zhi that your mother is sick. You should go home and have a look." Qiao Ruo Chu was a little anxious and went straight to the point.
"Is my mother sick? Yesterday, when Wan-jia came over, she said that she was angry at my father so she went to bed. " Gu Jun's eyebrows were about to scrunch together.
"Regardless of whether it is the illness in my heart or my body, as a child, I have to go back and visit." Yao Sitong also advised him.
Seeing that Qiao Ruo Chu was looking at him expectantly, Gu Jun couldn't let go of his mother in his heart. He immediately took off his white coat and said to them, "I'll go back now. "Thank you."
"Oh, yes, take this with you." He picked up the Jade Cicada wrapped in a piece of silk and stuffed it into his pocket.
"A patient gave it to me. He had a bacterial infection and didn't have the money to treat it. His family members were all crying for help. They begged the hospital to accept him. When he left the hospital, he secretly placed this on my desk. I went after him and he's gone. "
He explained to them as he walked out.
"Probably to make up for the medical expenses." Yao Sitong said.
So it was like this.
Why didn't this patient exchange this piece of jade for money? It looked like it could be exchanged for two thousand yuan.
Two thousand dollars would be enough to see the doctor, and perhaps there would be some left over.
Qiao Ruo Chu thought to herself.
The three of them walked out of the hospital gate together. After exchanging a few words of greeting, they all went back home.
Pan Yuyi was indeed sick.
When Ku Jun returned, his mother was in a daze from the fever. The servants thought that she was angry, but no one knew to rush her to the hospital.
Even Gu Wanjia didn't know that after Gu Jun scolded her, who was crying, he quickly took out his medicine box and injected a needle of the antipyretic drug into his mother.
Picking up a few more pieces of western medicine, he personally helped her consume them. It wasn't until midnight that Pan Yuyi woke up.
"Jing'er, you're finally willing to return …." Her excited words stopped and her eyes filled with tears.
"Mom, don't be sad, I'm not far from you. I'll come back often to see you in the future." Gu Jun comforted her.
Pan Yuyi was silent.
In the end, her son still didn't understand her thoughts as a mother.
He was the eldest son of the Gu family, and was also one of her dependants. As long as he appeared in this house every day, how could she be bullied by a concubine or ignored by her husband?
"Don't stay in the hospital anymore. This is your home, Chian. " Pan Yuyi wanted to use her mother's tenderness to call back her son.
"Mom, your son doesn't want to live like he used to, so don't say anymore." He was very decisive with his mother.
Pan Yuyi violently coughed for a while before calming down.
