My daily work as a doctor: My treatment value is increasing.

Lu Renxin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Heh."

These two people, who barely took care of or worried about their own son when he was a child, are now so concerned about a grandchild who hasn't even been born yet.

Is it really because as people get older, they suddenly realize the goodness of family and suddenly awaken their instinct to care for and love their offspring?

Or is it because they are afraid that their children and grandchildren will not care about them in the future, so they are trying to please them now?

Or perhaps Xia Xiaohong has some kind of leverage over her.

Lu Renxin shook his head, feeling that his thoughts were too scattered, but that didn't stop him from finding their family ridiculous.

Perhaps feeling embarrassed by her flustered attempts to comfort Xia Xiaohong in front of him, Wang Lili said angrily, "Look at my Xiaohong, she's about to give birth, and you're still a bachelor."

"Your dad probably borrowed a lot of money when he was sick, tsk tsk tsk, I wonder which girl will take a liking to you and marry into your poor family."

"If you ask me, you might as well just give us your money. You're just born poor, you can't stay poor forever."

They used his father's illness to provoke him again. Lu Renxin recalled their ugly faces in the hospital room and felt nauseous.

"Yes, yes, your family is rich, but it's best if you don't have the life to take the money but not the life to spend it."

When Lu Renxin said this, others only thought that he was cursing without thinking after he had lost his composure.

Only he knew in his heart that this was bound to happen sooner or later.

Li Aijun found these words grating, as he was a rather superstitious person.

Lu Renxin's words were a direct attack on him, hitting a nerve and making his already unpleasant expression even darker.

"You little brat, you've learned to curse your elders. I need to ask your parents how they raised you."

"Oh, what right do you have to ask my parents? I'd like to ask my grandparents how they raised you." Lu Renxin said without changing his expression, delivering a full-on sarcastic remark.

"Besides, I'm telling the truth, so don't risk your life by spending it!" He emphasized the end of his sentence, carrying an inexplicable pressure.

He wasn't worried that Li Aijun would suddenly decide to go to the hospital for a full physical examination.

The reason is simple: Li Aijun's philosophy is similar to Ye Fan's father's; they believe that hospitals are places where people rip off money.

Despite his considerable annual income, he still chooses to go to the hospital for ten yuan's worth of medicine whenever he has a headache or fever, and just takes it, relying entirely on his immune system to get through it.

Lu Renxin was wondering why the four of them would suddenly come to the hospital, but when he saw Xia Xiaohong in the car, he understood. They were probably there for a medical check-up.

Li Aijun and his wife's factory is also in this direction. I guess they left Xia Xiaohong and Li Xiaofeng here for inspection while they went to the factory.

Seeing that time was running out and he had ultimately failed to gain any advantage over Lu Renxin, Li Aijun uttered a harsh threat: "You just wait and see."

Just as Lu Renxin had predicted, Xia Xiaohong and her husband got out of the car after driving a short distance, and Li Xiaofeng happily helped her into the hospital.

The gleaming black car drove away from the hospital, emitting exhaust fumes, after a change of driver.

It was almost time to go to work. Lu Renxin glanced at his wristband, finished the last sip of soy milk, and started walking towards the hospital.

……

The afternoon sun shone through the glass onto the office floor. Lu Renxin, Liu Yichen, and Jiang Zhaoning were gathered in the office together, typing away at their computer screens.

While busy with work, they chatted casually about the latest gossip from the hospital.

"Hey, let me tell you something exciting." Liu Yichen stopped using the mouse and said in a mysterious low voice.

His voice broke the silence in the office.

"My friend in the emergency room was on duty last night. He brought in a man with a sharp object injury. When he arrived, a woman was with him, and she was crying so pitifully. It was heartbreaking to see."

"A sharp object injury?" Lu Renxin's curiosity was piqued. He turned his chair to face Liu Yichen. "What happened? In the middle of the night, were you stabbed by thugs or bad guys?"

In his understanding, most of these emergency injuries are related to fighting and brawling.

"That's right, you guessed it perfectly, you were indeed stabbed." Liu Yichen wasn't in a hurry to reveal the answer, but instead smiled mischievously and kept everyone in suspense, "But you probably wouldn't guess why you would be stabbed out of the blue."

"What else could it be?"

"Fighting? Armed combat?"

"Did a heated argument over trivial matters escalate into a violent act of violence, or did relationship problems lead to an impulsive act of stabbing?"

Lu Renxin stroked his chin and racked his brains to tell all the stories he had read in detective novels.

Liu Yichen shook his head knowingly, "I've guessed something, but only a tiny bit. The truth is far more absurd than this."

"Try to guess again, what's the relationship between these two?" He smirked, certain that no one could guess.

Lu Renxin's first reaction was: "A married couple? The man is injured and lying in bed, and the woman feels sorry for him?"

Then he thought it was too simple. If it were really that simple, Liu Yichen definitely wouldn't be watching the show like this.

His thoughts began to wander, tentatively speculating in even more outrageous directions: "Could it be... a mistress and a sugar daddy? Their affair was discovered by the wife, so in a fit of anger, she stabbed the mistress?"

This logic is quite reasonable. They've even found out who the murderer is. Lu Renxin thinks he's pretty close to the truth this time.

"Wrong, wrong, completely wrong! The actual situation is much more complicated than that."

Liu Yichen shook his head vigorously, but he was the type to keep secrets. Seeing that Lu Renxin was confused, he couldn't wait for him to guess a second time, so he simply blurted out all the information he knew:

"Xiao Lu's guess was pretty close, but the man who got stabbed wasn't a sugar daddy at all, but Xiao Si."

"??????"

"Xiao Si?" The truth left Lu Renxin speechless.

Not only him, but even Jiang Zhaoning, who usually has a cool and aloof demeanor, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, forgetting to put down the pen in her hand.

Hearing the noise, Liu Yichen and Lu Renxin both turned to look at her. They never expected that Jiang Zhaoning, who seemed aloof and unapproachable, was also eavesdropping on their conversation.

Jiang Zhaoning realized she had made a blunder and quickly covered her mouth, her face flushing with embarrassment. She waved her hand with a smile and said, "You guys go on, just pretend I'm not here. I was just... listening."

Unexpectedly, even the goddess couldn't resist the allure of gossip. Lu Renxin glanced at her discreetly and sighed inwardly: It's only human nature to love gossip.

Liu Yichen cleared his throat and continued the sensational topic from before: "That's right, it's Xiao Si! What's even more outrageous is that this woman has another mistress on the side besides Xiao Si."

"This time, Xiao Si was having an affair with this woman while the original wife was away. Unfortunately, the mistress discovered him. The mistress also has a short temper. She came to the door, and during the argument, she grabbed a fruit knife and rushed over, stabbing Xiao Si seriously without saying a word."
