Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 374 How come you never thought I was a doctor?

Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye got off the train, and Lu Mingqiu asked them to stay at the Lu family home. "We invited you here, and our two families have a special relationship. It would be unreasonable if you didn't stay at the Lu family home."

Xu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Lu Mingqiu, you really look a lot like your father. Go back and ask your grandfather if he can sleep well if Aye and I stay at your house."

Lu Mingqiu did not argue with her.

The people who came to pick them up were sent by Lu Zongsheng. Without saying a word, they took her and Jiang Xingye to the Lu family home. Lu Zongsheng didn't go to work today and was waiting for the two of them at home.

"You've arrived, have a seat!" Lu Zongsheng treated Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye with the same warmth and hospitality one would show to a family member. "Mingqiu didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly. "It's already difficult enough to ask for this, don't you think?"

“You are a doctor, saving lives is your duty,” Lu Zongsheng said earnestly. “You can say these things in front of us elders, but you must never say them outside.”

He pointed at Xu Qinghuan with his finger, his face full of smiles, looking extremely doting.

Lu Mingqiu sat to the side, her eyebrows furrowed and a smile on her face, looking obedient.

Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye sat together, very close to each other. "Grandpa Lu, I don't like playing riddles, so just tell me straight. You went to all this trouble to bring me to Yancheng, was it really just to treat Lu Mingxu's leg?"

Lu Zongsheng frowned almost imperceptibly. "You young comrade, you're so aggressive right from the start. Our Lu family isn't an outsider to you. Your mother lived here for over ten years. If she hadn't died young, you could have lived under the same roof with her this time."

She's always wanted to bring you into the Lu family.

Xu Qinghuan frowned as well. "Alright, if you don't want to say, then let's schedule the surgery for tomorrow morning. Aye and I need to go back and rest."

She stood up, but Lu Zongsheng didn't move. "We've already prepared a guest room for you two. You two can stay here tonight. It's not appropriate for you to stay outside."

Xu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll take the trouble to bother you!"

Lu Mingqiu led them to the guest room. As she walked by, a gust of wind rose up. Lu Zongsheng didn't smell anything, but he suddenly felt dizzy and his head slammed onto the sofa.

Liu Qidong was right next to him and nervously called out "Commander!" Lu Mingqiu turned his head and saw Lu Zongsheng fall headfirst to the ground.

Lu Zongsheng's health was not good to begin with, and he had been hospitalized once before. It was hard to say whether it was a relapse of an old illness or some other problem.

Lu Zongsheng's jaw was clenched, his face was bluish-purple, and he was breathing rapidly. It was clear that he was exhaling more than inhaling. If he were to die, the Lu family would truly be in dire straits. Before tomorrow morning, the Lu family would be knocked out of Yancheng's upper circles, with no possibility of recovery.

"Qinghuan, come quickly and help Grandpa take a look. What's wrong with him?" Lu Mingqiu bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. Her expression was earnest and pitiful.

Xu Qinghuan stood with her arms crossed, a good distance away. "Let's take her to the hospital. I don't know what's going on either. If we act rashly, it might backfire."

Liu Qidong didn't dare let Xu Qinghuan take action, so he quickly contacted the driver to take the old man to the hospital. Lu Mingqiu followed, and Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye also took the opportunity to leave the Lu family's gate.

However, two people kept following them.

Jiang Xingye took Xu Qinghuan's hand, and the two walked along the main road, intending to go to the guesthouse where they had stayed before.

It was late at night, and a torrential downpour was brewing. The wind was rising and the clouds were swirling. Rose branches that had climbed over the wall by the roadside were flying wildly in the wind, like a chaotic dance of demons.

A branch nearly hit Xu Qinghuan's face, but Jiang Xingye reached out and caught it. Xu Qinghuan took the branch from his hand, and the two bent down slightly, releasing the branch at the same time.

The branch nearly hit the two people behind her in the face. They ducked to avoid it, but then felt drowsy and couldn't keep their eyes open, collapsing to the ground. There was no one around. Xu Qinghuan glanced back, pretending not to have seen anything.

"Will he be able to wake up?" Jiang Xingye was still very worried.

“He’s old, and he’s had a stroke. He definitely won’t wake up anytime soon. Even if he does, it’s hard to say whether he’ll be able to speak,” Xu Qinghuan said. “Aye, tell me, since he suspects me, why didn’t he realize I’m a doctor?”

Jiang Xingye held her hand tightly. "He thought of it, but he just didn't expect you to be so capable."

Jiang Xingye hesitated, then looked at him with a smile, "Just say what you want to say. Are you going to keep it from me?"

"He's become suspicious. You shouldn't take anything out anymore, okay?" Jiang Xingye pulled her into his arms. "I'm so scared!"

Raindrops fell and pelted Jiang Xingye's shoulders. He used his broad arms to protect her, not allowing the storm to touch her in the slightest. But the wind and rain attacked from all directions, and he was unable to defend himself properly.

Xu Qinghuan pulled him along and started running. "Are you stupid? Run faster, then you'll get less wet!"

The two arrived at the guesthouse, completely soaked. They took out a letter of introduction wrapped in brown paper and booked two rooms.

Shao Lizhong was urgently summoned to the hospital and a team was formed to consult on Lu Zongsheng's case. The diagnosis was stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. Fortunately, he was rushed to the hospital in time and his life was temporarily saved.

Lu Mingqiu was struck dumb. "My grandfather has always been in good health. Why did he suddenly have a stroke today? No, this isn't right. I suspect Xu Qinghuan did it."

Liu Qidong saw with his own eyes, so what methods could Xu Qinghuan possibly use to manipulate things?

Shao Lizhong had to examine Lu Zongsheng again and shook his head. "We really can't find anything abnormal. The old man's blood pressure is very high. Even after taking antihypertensive drugs, there is no obvious effect. This situation is very easy to induce cerebral hemorrhage."

Lu Mingqiu slumped into the chair, his eyes blank.

After a while, she said to Liu Qidong, "Grandpa won't wake up anytime soon, so Mingxu's surgery can't wait any longer. Have the hospital notify Xu Qinghuan and have her perform the surgery on Mingxu first thing tomorrow morning."

If the surgery is unsuccessful, Xu Qinghuan can forget about going back.

She was convinced that Xu Qinghuan was the one who harmed her grandfather.

Xu Qinghuan's last laugh was so eerie; it sends chills down my spine just thinking about it.

If Lu Zongsheng were still conscious, he would surely feel the same way; his mind was in chaos.

The next day, the hospital arranged for Xu Qinghuan to perform surgery on Lu Mingxu. She met Lu Mingqiu at the hospital entrance. "How is your grandfather? It's such a pity. I met your grandfather for the first time yesterday. We didn't even exchange more than a few words before he suddenly fell ill. It's such a shame."

Liu Qidong saw her but not the two people following her, which surprised him greatly.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder whether the old man's illness was due to a pre-existing condition or some other reason.

Lu Mingqiu hadn't slept all night and looked very haggard. "Thank you for your concern. Qinghuan, you will definitely cure my brother, right?"

Xu Qinghuan took a step closer, "Lu Mingqiu, did your brother really fall down the stairs and suffer a comminuted fracture of his leg?"
