"Although people say that once a person dies, all matters co to rest, your uncle's family has never formally apologized to Lin Jie for that incident."
"Could it be that they think, given your close relationship with us and the various projects we collaborate on, Lin Jie will consider them friends?"
Hearing this, Du Feixue felt embarrassed and a bit awkward.
She was fully aware of the ins and outs of what happened to Lin Miao, as her cousin-in-law, Li Donghai, had explained it all clearly during the critical period of his illness.
Du Feixue also vaguely learned afterward that if Lin Jie hadn't arrived in ti and personally perford the surgery on Lin Miao, the result might have been...
This isn't just an ordinary grudge!
In fact, it was Du Feixue who had been continuously trying to nd the relationship with Lin Jie.
Her uncle's family indeed hadn't made any effort on this front, not even saying sorry to the Lin siblings in person.
Thinking about this matter, Du Feixue heard An Kexin continue, "Fei Xue, Lin Jie is quite petty, as you know. Rember the uproar online about the hospital blacklist?"
"Those who insult and slander him online are denied treatnt, let alone such a serious matter!"
Du Feixue smiled bitterly and sighed, "Kexin, I understand now; this is what they call reaping what you sow."
She sighed again and said, "Kexin, do you think that if that incident hadn't happened, and my cousin and cousin-in-law had asked Lin Jie to treat their cancer, they might be alive now..."
anwhile, the Lin Family was also holding a banquet.
They were holding a "welcoming banquet," mainly to entertain the groom's family and friends who would help at tomorrow's wedding.
The Lin Family's welcoming banquet was held at Qushui Garden, featuring quite a number of tables, totaling forty-one.
A large number of guests were healthcare workers from Anlin Hospital and the Affiliated Hospital.
Due to the nature of hospital work, they can't just shut down, and doctors need to take shifts, so not many could be granted leave simultaneously to attend Lin Jie's wedding banquet.
Given this, Lin Jie expanded the welcoming banquet the day before the official wedding banquet to entertain those in the dical field who had difficulty taking leave or switching shifts.
Everyone knows that Lin Jie cannot drink alcohol.
So, the task of toasting and blocking drinks was entirely left to the groomsn, while Lin Jie only held a glass of red wine and made a symbolic round of the tables.
Three tables of guests were exchange doctors from various countries. To cater to them, in addition to the chopsticks and bowls, there was also a set of Western cutlery.
Seeing Lin Jie approach, the exchange doctors all stood up and praised in unison, "Expert Lin, this is the best food I've ever tasted; every dish is so delicious!"
"If I could eat like this every day, I'd just stay in China and not go back!"
"Expert Lin, I wish I had another stomach; oh my, I'm about to burst."
Lin Jie cheerfully said, "I'm very glad you like today's banquet."
"Weddings are a very important life event for Chinese people, so every family strives to make the wedding banquet as sumptuous and exquisite as possible."
Raising his glass, he continued, "Let's have a toast together! GOOD DAY!"
"CHEERS!"
Lin Jie first took a small sip, and the exchange doctors at the table also drank more or less. Among them, Dr. Alphonse even drank his in one go.
Not only that, but he also filled another glass, gestured to Lin Jie, and said, "Expert Lin, since last night I've watched the surgery video you comnted on three tis, and each ti I learned sothing new."
"To use a very fitting Chinese saying, 'Hearing you speak is better than studying books for ten years!'"
"Thank you, Expert Lin!"
Alphonse raised his glass to the others at the table and said, "Everyone, work hard to earn points!"
"With just thirty points, you can get a comntary from Expert Lin, and I guarantee on my reputation, this is definitely a worthwhile and absolutely valuable transaction..."
After making a round, when Lin Jie returned to the main table, his glass of red wine had only been half-consud.
The six accompanying groomsn were rather worse for wear, supporting each other as they returned, their walk unsteady, eyes glazed, seeing double.
They quickly drank bowls of pre-prepared hangover soup to slightly relieve their intoxicated state.
Chen Qiuhua burped from the alcohol and pointed at Lin Jie, shaking his head with a smile, "Lin Jie, you must be the most relaxed groom of all, without having to battle yourself."
Lin Jie smirked, "I'm troubled too. It's not like I asked to be alcohol-sensitive."
He feigned a lancholy look, "You have no idea, my wine cellar holds nearly a hundred bottles from the world's most famous wine regions, mostly gifted by others."
"Faced with so many fine wines, I can only drink a glass a day, unable to indulge freely."
Just after saying this, Lin Jie realized he'd made a mistake.
Seeing the bright eyes, eagerly watching him from both n and won at the table, he quickly threatened, "Red wine is one of my few hobbies."
"To take away one's love will incur resentnt. You better think it through."
Lin Jie's threat was quite effective, causing Chen Qiuhua, Fu Xiuyuan, and others to reluctantly withdraw their gazes.
Chen Qiuhua sighed, "Lin Jie, ever since Anlin Hospital opened, our regular Wednesday gatherings have stopped, except for small get-togethers at these dical salons."
"Honestly, I miss our Wednesday etings."
"Yes, yes, I miss them too!" Lu Kaicheng and Yao Siyuan echoed.
Lin Jie chuckled, "After returning from our honeymoon, we'll move into the Wutong Garden villa."
"There's plenty of space there, enough to accommodate more people. We could even hold outdoor barbecue parties since there's a small outdoor swimming pool."
"If you don't mind the remote location, we can have our gatherings there from now on."
Lu Kaicheng joyfully said, "How could we mind the distance? As long as it's within Binhai's jurisdiction, wherever you are, Lin Jie, it feels like just a step away for us..."
At this mont, Jian Jia hurriedly walked up to Lin Jie, saying softly, "Dr. Lin, Dr. Qi called to say the Sheikh's tumor has suddenly moved significantly..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie quickly took out his phone and found two missed calls from Qi Xingfen and an email.
Opening the email, he found an attachnt of the Sheikh's brain tumor scan.
After viewing the scan, Lin Jie felt sowhat relieved, stood up, and told everyone, "I need to go back to Anlin Hospital now to perform a surgery. I should be back by tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Lin Miao beca anxious and called out, "Brother, brother, does it have to be tonight? Tomorrow is your big day, and you need a good rest tonight."
Lin Jie touched her head and explained, "This patient's case is sowhat special; the longer we delay, the more dangerous it becos."
"Honestly, I've been worried that the tumor would reach operable conditions tomorrow or while we're on the yacht honeymoon."
"That it's at this condition now is sowhat fortunate. It might not be the best ti, but it's certainly a very suitable ti."
"After tonight, I can get married to Kexin without any worries, and go on the trip with all of you."
Seeing Lin Jie had made up his mind, Lin Miao held his hand reluctantly and said, "Brother, please co back early tomorrow, don't be late, it would be bad to miss the auspicious ti!"
"I'll try my best to be back."
As Lin Jie was about to turn and leave, he stopped and instructed, "Miaomiao, if I really can't make it back in ti for the auspicious mont, you'll have to stand in for and hold the wedding ceremony with Kexin."
"After all, it's just a ceremony; it doesn't matter..."
