Chapter 174 – Scoundrel
The moment Old Man Gan heard that the old lady secretly used anti-itching ointment behind his back and didn’t put his prescription in proper regard, he was furious.
He could let it go if the old lady didn’t listen to his advice or didn’t like his prescribed medicine, but the fact was that she very valiantly didn’t trust his skills.
No matter how good his temper was, he still couldn’t swallow it down and continue their doctor-patient relationship. Just like what Yun Zhao had said, don’t even mention Hua Ming County, he, Gan Song Bai, was the most reputable doctor in the whole of Ning City. Those who wanted to consult his practice were uncountable. The time the old lady spent tormenting and making a din with wasn’t just his own.
Frowning, the old man gave Xiang Jin a look and spoke, “It’s not that I refuse to help her, but it’s your mother-in-law that is just too stubborn!”
“Doctor Gan, don’t be angry. My mother-in-law she- It’s not that she doesn’t believe in your medical expertise, she’s just trying to- just trying to put me in my place…” Xiang Jin answered in panic.
This mother-in-law of hers wasn’t willing to go to the hospital, always saying that because she was old, once she stepped into the hospital she’d get bad luck. If they brought her to the hospital, it meant they wanted her to die; going in vertically but leaving horizontally. Thus, Xiang Jin had no choice but to outsource a doctor for her.
Apart from Doctor Gan, there’d been four or five other doctors before him, but they’d all been angered by the old lady and left. She had no other options left, so she sought for Gan Song Bai. The elderly had also agreed to take the trouble to come over on old feelings between he and the Xiang family, but the old lady refused to cooperate.
“Xiang Jin ah, I originally gave you some face and agreed because I saw that you were filial to your mother-in-law, but now that the patient isn’t willing to cooperate, there’s nothing this old man can do. I’ll return you the full amount of the consultation fees you gave me and won’t accompany you any longer!” Gan Song Bai bellowed.
He’d never seen such an unreasonable old lady!
“Xiang Jin! Are you going to be happy only after I’m dead?! You can’t cure me, but you still want to malign me! Let me tell you, once the doctor leaves, you will immediately divorce my son! I refuse to tolerate you any longer, get out of my Qin family! The number of girls who like my son are many; we don’t need a chicken who occupies the nest but can’t lay eggs!” The old lady also didn’t talk to Old Gan, just pointing and started scolding Xiang Jin.
Jing Yun Zhao frowned. Was this still a senior? It was obviously a scoundrel.
The moment Xiang Jin heard the threat, her eyes immediately reddened, and she grit her teeth.
Jing Yun Zhao was suddenly curious. This Xiang Jin’s husband, what kind of person was he to be able to have such a shockingly explosive mother? More importantly, he must be some kind of peerless extinct species of a man for Xiang Jin to refuse to divorce him?
Xiang Jin’s expression was awkward as she made a request, “Doctor Gan, can you give me another chance?”
Gan Song Bai had nothing to say, his wrinkly face twitching.
Heaving a huge sigh, he gave the old lady a look before he directed his gaze back to Xiang Jin,” Come out with me for a bit first.”
Xiang Jin immediately agreed and the three headed outside, closing the door behind them. Outside, the chilling wind was blowing and the corridor was silent. It even made whatever anger he had tone down a little and Gan Song Bai huffed, “Xiang Jin, if your father knew that you’re living your days like this, I’m afraid he’d want to strangle that old lady to death.”
As this was said, Jing Yun Zhao gave them look of shock. Her grandpa actually knew Xiang Jin’s father?
Instantly, tears welled up in Xiang Jin’s eyes,”Uncle(bb) Gan, thank you for treating my father before. If it wasn’t for you, my dad probably wouldn’t have lived for much longer back then…”
“But now I really have no choice. My dad has passed away, and I’m Mom’s only child. She still has to rely on the Qin Family’s money to live on. I temporarily cannot divorce him. Even if I don’t want to listen to her words, I can only listen for now.” Xiang Jin shook her head, expression mournful.
The more Jing Yun Zhao listened to this conversation, the more confused she became. This Qin family’s financial background didn’t seem all that…
