Su Jiang found himself at a loss for words to refute him. The three brothers each had their distinct personalities, with only Su He being the most unruly. He seed to live the happiest life. To him, everyone else was rely a supporting role.
"We strive for different things. I am just your older brother, serving only to remind you, with no intention of forcing you to take a specific path," Su Jiang said. "I’ve thought a lot these past few days. I really dislike how I handled things in the past, confining myself too rigidly within the norms of society. It only served to drain and burden my family, without any real purpose."
"In the future, I do not intend to be subtle. Junxian has already started to resemble , and I don’t want him to tread the sa old path as mine."
Su He crossed his arms and watched with an indifferent deanor.
Though there were no fraternal disputes within the Su family, their relationship was not as harmonious as outsiders claid.
He didn’t dislike Su Jiang, nor did he hate him; it was their parents’ partiality. He was the second child, with an elder brother above and a younger brother below. He was the most easily overlooked middle child. He had once been the least noticeable mber of the Su family. Comndations, praise, and favoritism were never directed his way; praise was for Su Jiang, favoritism for Su Chu. He was the one to bear the brunt of their parents’ scolding. Without being nurtured with love, how could one reap love? He had even wondered if, should Su Chu die, his parents’ love might be redirected, even a little, to him. No! He remained the unloved one. Even with Su Chu dead, Su Chu’s inheritance would still be larger than his own. The most dazzling Sully would not be his, nor would the main assets of the Su family. What he received were rely the leftovers from the other two.
Seeing Su He’s indifferent gaze, Su Jiang said, "If you don’t want to wait, you can go back first. There are still three kids at ho waiting for you."
Su He left without any hesitation.
When Li Rui ca out, his face was clouded with worry. "The Old Madam’s condition is not good; she needs to be taken to the hospital for a full body checkup."
"Make the arrangents," Su Jiang said.
Li Rui hesitated for a mont before suggesting, "Shall we ask Sister Bing to co and take a look?"
So ailnts are imdiately recognizable by traditional Chinese dicine, while the advantage of Western dicine lies in its suitability for widespread application and quick efficacy. Traditional Chinese dicine, on the other hand, is prone to witnessing miracles, especially in the hands of a skilled practitioner.
A fleeting look of embarrassnt crossed Su Jiang’s face. "The New Year is near, so let’s handle it ourselves for now. Miss Fu isn’t in good health either. We shouldn’t disturb her in this cold weather unless it’s absolutely necessary."
"Alright, I’ll arrange for the transportation to the hospital right away."
"Thank you for your trouble."
"You’re welco."
Li Rui imdiately went to make the arrangents.
Li Shen had waited at ho for him for three hours, but in the end, he didn’t co back, so she sent him a ssage.
"I’ve prepared a New Year’s gift for you; it’s in your apartnt."
「When Li Rui saw the ssage, it was already the next morning.」
"Thanks, sis."
Li Shen replied instantly, "Did you pull another all-nighter?"
"Just finished," he replied.
"Have the driver take you ho. Don’t drive yourself. I’ll arrange for soone to send porridge to your house right away."
"I can manage on my own."
"I can’t be at ease if you keep staying up like this."
Li Shen imdiately called a hotel near Li Rui’s apartnt and asked them to send porridge and easily digestible food over.
Lian Yingting watched her busy herself, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Li Rui pulled another all-nighter?"
"Yes, being a doctor is like that. Until the day he gets married, I’ll worry every day," Li Shen replied.
In Jiangcheng, there were two Li families. One was the dical Li family, and the other was the Li family to which Li Qing belonged. The two Li families could not be more different.
「Li Rui returned ho to find the hotel’s porridge already on the table, neither too hot nor too cold, just the right temperature.」
Li Rui felt a warmth in his heart. Being cared for always feels good.
After Li Rui had his al, he felt rejuvenated.
He made a phone call to Lu Yuan. "How have you been recently? Encountered any interesting cases?"
"It’s been pretty boring lately. I’ve followed Sister Bing’s dical team to a few places but haven’t co across a single case that interests ."
As Lu Yuan spoke, he went out into the yard to tread on the freshly fallen snow. Only after leaving footprints all over the yard did he feel satisfied and returned to sit down under the eaves.
Seeing that Li Rui was silent, Lu Yuan asked, "What’s wrong with you? Just finished an all-nighter?"
"Yeah, there’s sothing I want to discuss with you."
"If you’ve got sothing to say, say it quickly. Don’t beat around the bush."
"The Su family matriarch is sick, and it’s serious. If you don’t have any more interesting patients, why not co back to Jiangnan to take a look?"
"Not interested," Lu Yuan rejected quickly.
He had treated the Su family matriarch before, and she was too difficult to serve. The consultation fee wasn’t even worth the aggravation.
After refusing, Lu Yuan said, "Sister Bing is in Jiangcheng; ask her."
As he was speaking, he saw a pink car approaching from the end of the road.
"You don’t need to ask. I see Sister Bing’s car; they’re heading back to Jiangnan."
Li Rui sighed helplessly. "Alright, I’ll think of sothing else."
"Stop thinking about it. Even if you call in a favor to find soone, they might not even appreciate it. Just do what you can. The Su family has such a wide network; they’ll find other doctors themselves. Don’t go out of your way for them."
Lu Yuan hung up the phone and ran to open the door.
"I thought I’d be spending New Year’s alone."
"How could I bear to let you spend it alone?" Fu Bing said with a smile. "I’ve brought gifts for you and Lin Xing. Go get them yourself."
"No problem." Lu Yuan scurried off to grab the luggage.
Aunt Ning and Uncle He got out of the car and realized, without knowing it, they had co to consider this place ho. Even their own villa in Jiangcheng, which they had decorated themselves, didn’t give them the sa sense of belonging.
Xiaoi dashed inside the house to turn on the heater right after stepping out of the car.
The little kitten they’d picked up before was currently at Ren Ye’s place, cared for by Ren Zhi.
Fu Bing followed Ren Ye’s car to see the two little ones.
Ren Zhi sent her videos and photos every day, but it still couldn’t compare to seeing them in person.
The two little things had grown a lot, their eyes round and bright, exceptionally lively.
Seeing the two enter, Ren Zhi asked with confusion, "Did you drive all night? Was there such a hurry?"
"We had to co back anyway, so we figured we might as well co back as early as possible."
As New Year’s approached, they were actually busier than usual. Normally, they could slack off and not go to the company. However, at the end of the year, they had to hold the annual eting, give out New Year’s red envelopes to employees, and be present in person.
「After a short rest, Fu Bing went to the company with Wu Shi.」
After giving New Year’s red envelopes to all employees, she let them wrap up their work. They could then spend the afternoon peacefully engaging in year-end activities at the company, followed by the evening’s annual feast.
Fu Bing participated throughout. Aside from physically demanding gas, she joined in everything else she could.
Her employees showed no rcy and trounced her soundly.
Fu Bing couldn’t help but take the microphone and coax playfully, "Can’t you go easy on your boss a little?"
"No!" The crowd roared in unison.
"We rarely get a chance to thrash the boss! This is a golden opportunity; we have to go all out!"
"Had I known, I would have waited until dinner to give out your red envelopes. Then I might have had a chance to hold so back."
"You definitely wouldn’t have the heart."
The crowd burst into raucous laughter.
The entire annual eting was live-stread. The live stream wasn’t promoted, and they didn’t think many people would watch.
To their surprise, they still attracted a crowd and even shot to the top of the hot searches.
"To be honest, Sister Bing looks too cute when she loses. I want to make her lose too."
"HAHAHAHAHA, I feel the sa."
"Sister Bing is really knowledgeable; it’s just her employees are fiercer. HAHAHAHAHA, let ruthlessly mock Sister Bing for a second."
The live chat was filled with a sea of ’hahahahaha’.
「Su Junhui only learned that Fu Bing wasn’t in Jiangcheng anymore when he saw the hot search.」
His eyes darkened a little.
