Chapter 50： The old Taoist priest woke up

Chapter 50 The old Taoist priest wakes up

In the next two days, Pei Anzhu lived a peaceful and comfortable life.

In addition to three meals a day, she has a very full schedule—

Get up early in the morning and go to morning exercises, climb mountains, practice boxing, stretch your muscles and muscles, and exercise physical skills.

In the morning, I meditate and practice in the spirit gathering array, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and practice internal strength.

In the afternoon, I concentrated on drawing talismans. I cut the yellow paper into the size of talisman paper and drew all the talismans that I felt could be used. I drew four to five hundred of them in two days.

In the evening it is time to read, and I read the books in Shuyun Temple.

Those classics sealed away by old Taoist priests have become the main way and means for Pei Anzhu to understand the Taoist system of this world.

Just when she thought she would be comfortable until the third live broadcast, she received a call from the hospital:

"Is it Miss Pei? The patient in the ICU ward, Pei Zhi, is awake."

Pei Zhiqing is an old Taoist priest.

After hearing the news, Pei Anzhu stood up suddenly, grabbed the car keys and ran out:

“I’ll be right away.”

The old Taoist priest was so seriously injured that Pei Anzhu was prepared for him to be in a coma for two months, but he didn't expect to wake up so soon.

This is good news.

Pei Anzhu drove to the hospital, but when she arrived, the old Taoist priest had already fallen asleep again.

The doctor looked at the little girl who came in a hurry, with soft eyes, and said:

“Don’t worry too much. Considering that Mr. Pei is in his sixties, he is recovering very well.”

"During the time when he was awake, we have done some examinations on him. His injuries are healing steadily, and some of his body functions have approached the state before the car accident."

“The reason why you fall asleep again so quickly is because your body needs sleep to assist in recovery.”

“In fact, after inspection and discussion, we believe that Mr. Pei no longer needs to live in the ICU. If Ms. Pei agrees, we will transfer him to the next-level special care unit.”

After saying these words, the doctor looked at her with questioning eyes.

 Pei Anzhu knew what the doctor meant. The old Taoist priest had now completely passed the critical period and basically no longer needed to stay in the ICU.

The ward is freed up and can also receive more other critically ill patients.

So, she nodded:

“I can transfer out, but I want a deluxe single room in the intensive care unit, and I will pay for it.”

After discussing it, she signed some documents as required by the doctor, paid the fee, and transferred the old Taoist priest to the advanced special care ward.

Then, she thought about finding two caregivers for the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest had been unconscious in the ICU before, so naturally he did not need a nurse.

But now that he has woken up, it means that he will wake up more and more often in the future, and the time will become longer and longer. He will need a series of physiological needs such as eating and excretion.

Pei Anzhu is currently unable to stay in the hospital for care anytime and anywhere, so he can only hire a nurse.

As for herself, when she is not broadcasting live or taking on private work, she just needs to visit and accompany the old Taoist priest frequently.

Just do it, Pei Anzhu asked the nurse to inquire about it.

In fact, in hospitals, besides patients, the ones who have the most contact with nursing staff are nurses.

 Many times the children and descendants of patients are unable to take personal care of them, and the medical staff can only tell the caregivers to pay attention to them at all times.

Sure enough, the nurse helped contact several caregivers and let Pei Anzhu choose.

Pei Anzhu selected a man and a woman from five people, a couple in their forties. Judging from their appearance, both of them were good people with loyal and honest personalities. According to the nurse, these two people indeed have the best reputation among the nursing staff in the entire hospital. They are calm, meticulous and thoughtful in their work. They have worked in the hospital for four years and have received numerous praises.

“It’s just them.”

Pei Anzhu determined the candidates and signed a contract with them immediately.

Subsequently, she left the contact information of the two caregivers and added a WeChat message, telling them to notify her as soon as possible if anything happened:

“I’ll leave my grandfather to you two.”

“Miss Pei, don’t worry, we will do our best,” said the husband of the couple, a man named Zhang Ping.

After the matter was settled, Pei Anzhu sat with them in the single special care ward for half an hour. Seeing that the old Taoist priest showed no sign of waking up again, she left the hospital.

Back at Shuyunguan, Pei Anzhu took a bath and went to bed early to recharge his batteries for the upcoming third live broadcast.

***

Yuncheng, Junlintianxia villa area.

In a certain exquisite mansion, there was a faint sound of crying.

In the living room, a middle-aged but still handsome man hugged his wife and comforted her in a low voice:

“Alan, stop crying. You are weak and crying any more will be bad for your health. What if you fall ill? I will feel bad.”

The man who spoke was Pei Jinchang, and the woman he held in his arms was his wife Zhou Yalan.

Their eldest son Pei Yu sat aside, frowning:

“Mom, Zhuzhu is still lying in the hospital. If you collapse too, what will Dad and I do?”

Zhou Yalan lay on Pei Jinchang’s shoulder and sobbed:

"How could this be? How could Zhuzhu not be my daughter? She is the treasure I have held in my hands and raised for more than 20 years!"

The room suddenly fell into silence.

No one can answer Zhou Yalan’s question, because no one expected that this would happen——

Three days ago, Pei Mingzhu, the daughter of the Pei family, completed her world piano tour. She returned home in glory and attended a reception banquet held for her by her peers in the circle.

After three rounds of drinking, the high-spirited dandies made an appointment to go to a suburban racing track to play a few rounds.

They bet more than a million, lost their minds under the stimulation of alcohol, were ignorant and crazy, and drove the racing cars to run rampant on the winding roads.

In the end, someone failed to control the brakes and hit the fence nearby, seriously injuring Pei Mingzhu who was watching.

Pei Mingzhu was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

 Pei Jinchang and Zhou Yalan rushed to the hospital as soon as they heard the news. They waited outside the operating room for two hours, praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky that nothing would happen to their daughter.

Pei Mingzhu came out safely, but the inspection report that followed made the Pei family look pale - Pei Mingzhu has type AB blood.

Be it Pei Jinchang or Zhou Yalan, including Pei Yu, the whole family has type O blood.

Zhou Yalan went to the hospital and said that they had got the blood type wrong, but the lab technician tested it several times, but there was still no change in the result.

After excluding a series of possibilities such as wrong samples, instrument errors, and laboratory technician errors, the remaining and most incredible reason has become the only truth:

Pei Mingzhu is not the daughter of the Pei family.

Subsequently, the paternity test came out, confirming this speculation.

From the moment Zhou Yalan saw the paternity test results, she fell into a strong emotion of sadness. She cried every day at home, seemingly not knowing what to do.

Pei Mingzhu, how could she not be her daughter?

More than twenty years of hard work!

It was she who trained Pei Mingzhu from such a little baby to an internationally renowned pianist with unlimited fame and a well-known socialite in wealthy circles. She spent a lot of effort.

But now she is told that that is not her biological daughter?
