2. Famous families in Jianghai City

Soon, the ambulance arrived at the hospital, and the paramedics and Yi Lu soon arrived outside the emergency room.

"Lulu, wait for me outside. I'll come out after I've lost blood." After giving a few simple instructions, Lu Xiang followed the emergency personnel and entered the emergency room.

Yi Lu was nervously pacing back and forth outside the emergency room. Although Lu Xiang had only gone in to donate blood, his heart was in turmoil.

"Nothing must happen to you, nothing must happen to you." Yi Lu muttered to herself. She didn't know whether she was praying for the pregnant woman who was injured, or for Lu Xiang who was given a blood transfusion.

The middle-aged man saw Yi Lu's nervousness and said, "Little girl, don't be too nervous. Nothing will happen to her."

"Huh?" Yi Lu saw the middle-aged man was talking to her, so she stopped and said, "But I saw on the news that some of the blood donors had accidents while donating their blood and contracted a lot of strange diseases …"

"Don't worry!" The middle-aged man patted Yi Lu's shoulder comfortingly, "That's a small number of cases after all. This is the A grade hospital in Jianghai City, and those kind of accidents wouldn't happen."

Just as the two of them were talking, a young man rushed to the door of the emergency room. He saw the middle-aged man and Yi Lu and asked anxiously, "Is my child alright? My wife, Alan, is she all right? "

"The doctor is in there to save you, wait a moment!" The middle-aged man said, "Your wife has RH negative blood, so it's hard to find a blood source. Luckily, we met this young lady's boyfriend …"

"Thank you, thank you so much!" The young man thanked Yi Lu and began to chat with the middle-aged man about the situation of the pregnant woman.

Yi Lu was listening in on their conversation and knew that the middle-aged man's surname was Ming, and he was a surgeon visiting his family in Jianghai City from abroad. Today, they coincidentally met with this car accident, and the young man's surname was Qi.

The Gu family's surname was a small one in the Bai family, but in Jianghai City, there was no one who didn't know who they were. That was because the Gu family was a well-known family in Jianghai City.

Legend has it that from the fifth generation to the tenth generation, the Gu family had established their foundation in Jianghai City. Although they had to break through into the fourth generation and had once been defeated, until today, the twenty-first century, the Gu family still had its own influence in Jianghai City. It was just that the Gu family now looked more like a virtuous and respected old man.

In addition, the medical conditions in the old society were outdated. If there were no males in a certain generation, and if there weren't any males from a side family with similar blood ties, many of the Gu family heads would ask the Gu family's women to find their son-in-law. The children they raised were innocent, so as to continue the family's liveliness. Although it is now the 21st century, the feudal ideas of the old school of the Gu family are still deeply ingrained in the blood and bones of future generations.

Gu Qiutang was such a person with a typical 'Gu family' mindset — he was also a patriarchal person in China. Therefore, when he found out that his wife was injured and hospitalized, he immediately put down his work and rushed over, wanting to confirm that his wife and children were alright.

"May I ask who is the wounded family member?" After the three of them waited outside for a while, the emergency room door suddenly opened, and a nurse hurriedly asked.

"I am, I am!" Gu Qiutan walked up quickly, grabbed the nurse's arm and asked, "Are mother and son safe?"

"It's like this, sir," said the nurse, pulling her arm away. "Only one adult child can be saved, so you decide quickly and sign your name on the surgical list."

"What?" After hearing the nurse's words, Gu QiuTang's body shook violently for a moment, unable to accept the news, "Aren't you the best hospital in Jianghai City? Why can't you protect a pregnant woman? "Why …"

"Teacher, I know you're in deep grief right now," the nurse interrupted him calmly. "But time is short, you have to make a decision quickly, otherwise even adults and children won't be able to protect you."

"..." "Then save the child!" After a moment of silence, Gu QiuTang rubbed his face, then said with difficulty, "I believe that Lan will also approve of my decision."

Lan, the wife of Gu QiuTang, was also the current head of the Gu family. However, she had a background that didn't match her status as the head matriarch — she was of the Miao family, and one of the lowest class in society. Before they met Gu QiuTang, she worked in a restaurant, and after they met, they got to know each other and eventually got to know each other. But no matter how fervent the love was back then, in Gu QiuTang's heart, which was deeply influenced by the thoughts of the feudal incense, it was still the incense of the Gu family that was more important.

"Very well, sir, come and sign with me." The nurse remained calm after hearing Gu QiuTang's reply, as if she was already used to this sort of thing.

"Didn't you say that you are fine?" Yi Lu looked at the scene in front of her and was confused. "It's good that the child is reborn. Although the child will be hurt even if he is gone, but …"

"This is the difference in a person's heart." Dr. Minh said lightly, not at all surprised by the result.

Gu Qiutan signed his name on the operating list, and very quickly, Lan was pushed out of the emergency room and pushed into the operating room.

After a while, Lu Xiang also walked out of the emergency room. His face was pale, as if he had lost too much blood, but also as if he was shocked.

Lu Xiang pressed one hand on the needle's eye with a face full of fatigue

"Are you all right?" Yi Lu quickly walked forward and held Lu Xiang's hand, asking in concern, "Is it painful? Did it draw out a lot of your blood? " Yi Lu looked at Lu Xiang's pale face and was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Idiot, it's fine!" Seeing Yi Lu's anxious look, Lu Xiang's heart felt warm. He extended his hand to ruffle Yi Lu's hair, but as soon as his hand left, blood started to flow out from the needle hole.

Yi Lu saw the blood flowing out of Lu Xiang's arm and couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.

"Fool, don't cry …" Seeing Yi Lu was crying, Lu Xiang also became anxious. He reached out his hand and clumsily wiped away her tears, "If you keep on crying, then your makeup will be spent, and you won't be beautiful anymore."

"You're so annoying!" Seeing that Lu Xiang still had the mood to chat with him, Lu Xiang knew that he was fine. In fact, he was making a big fuss out of nothing. He felt embarrassed and deliberately hit Lu Xiang, "But your face is really ugly …"

"I'm a little dizzy …" Following that, he intentionally leaned on Yi Lu and closed his eyes, pretending to faint.

"You're lying …" Yi Lu giggled and pushed him away, "You never fainted from blood loss, who are you lying to?"

Seeing that Yi Lu had recovered her composure, Lu Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief — how could he dare to tell her the true reason for his pale face!
