Chapter 349 - 349: What Could’ve Happened?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The last time Sang Qianqian returned home, Sang Pengcheng had expressed his desire to leave the country and stay at Uncle Zhong’s place temporarily. Firstly, he wanted to meet up with his old friends and secondly, he wanted to relax.

In his prime, Sang Pengcheng’s mind was only on his children and his company.

However, as he grew older, his body felt like it was not as strong as his heart. Furthermore, the Sang family had suffered too much last year. Sang Pengcheng’s ambition had gradually faded. He was no longer so persistent in his career that he once loved.

Sang Pengcheng trusted his son and believed that he would be able to handle any problems in the company. As for his marriage, Sang Pengcheng’s original words were, “I don’t have any expectations. Let him be.”

The only thing that Sang Pengcheng was worried about was his daughter.

Now that Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu had finally reconciled, Sang Pengcheng was finally relieved of his burden and had nothing to worry about.

Even though Sang Qianqian was already mentally prepared for her father’s departure, she was still caught off guard by the fact that he had left so quickly. “Dad didn’t even take a detour to visit me. I haven’t seen Dad off yet.” “How many days have you been back from Yuecheng? The last time I sent you and Shen Hanyu to the airport, I had to hold Dad back. Both of your eyes were red. Just that scene was enough.”

Sang Minglang reached out and patted her head, “Dad said that you two can lead your lives well in the future and don’t have to worry about him. It’s better for him to get together with Uncle Zhong and go out for a walk than to stay alone in Yuecheng.”

Even so, Sang Qianqian still felt a little disappointed.

Sang Minglang got up and prepared to return to his room. After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something. “When is Shen Hanyu coming back?” “He said he’ll be here tomorrow night,” Sang Qianqian replied.

“You’re both married now, so I won’t be staying here anymore.”

Sang Minglang said, “I have another place to stay in the capital. I’ll head over tomorrow morning. That colleague of yours can stay next door. There’s no need to rush to move out.”

Sang Qianqian nodded. “Alright.”

After all, it was much easier for her brother to find a place to stay in the capital than Yin Jinhui.

Seeing that Sang Minglang was already walking up the stairs, Sang Qianqian asked, “Brother, how many days are you going to stay in the capital?”

“I can’t say. It might be very soon, or it might take a long time.”

Sang Minglang’s feet did not stop, and he said indifferently, “It depends on how the discussion goes.”

For some reason, Sang Qianqian felt that her brother was acting a little weird ever since he met Ruan Xiaoshuang today. She felt that he was different from before, but she couldn’t put her finger on what was different.

“Brother… Are you alright?” she asked.

Sang Minglang laughed, “Why would I not be?”

Sang Qianqian hesitated for a moment but did not say anything.

Her brother was a person who, no matter how much he couldn’t let it go, he would not show it on his face. With his personality, it was useless no matter what others said.

Fortunately, her brother was a person who knew his limits. Even if he couldn’t let go, he knew what he should and shouldn’t do.

Perhaps, she was really worrying for nothing.

Shen Hanyu should be back soon.

However, in the afternoon, Sang Qianqian received a call from Shen Hanyu. Due to an emergency, he had to postpone his flight home for a day.

Sang Qianqian’s heart, which had been filled with anticipation, deflated like a balloon.

However, the next day, when Sang Qianqian arrived at the office, she immediately forgot about Shen Hanyu as she was shocked by the crowd of patients outside the clinic.

Sang Qianqian walked through the crowd with some difficulty and entered the office. Inside, Xu Meixi was talking to Yin Jinhui.

“There are so many people here today.”

Xu Meixi looked out of the door and whispered, “I know Director Miao has a lot of influence, but I didn’t expect it to be this big.”

“We’re going to be busy today.”

Yin Jinhui tidied up her white coat and looked at Sang Qianqian, who had just entered. “Qianqian, some patients didn’t seem to get a number. They just knocked on the door and asked if they could get an additional number. A few of them had even rushed here overnight from other provinces. After all, today is the first official house visit of our workshop. We can’t let the patients come all the way for nothing.”

Sang Qianqian thought for a moment. “Meixi, help me register these patients who came from other places later. Record their medical records. If it’s not serious, ask them to come to me and Jinhui in the afternoon. If it’s related to a difficult-to-treat illness, I’ll talk to Director Miao later and try to bring him over.”

Director Miao was very busy today. He only would join a house visit every Monday morning. If these patients from other places could not see him today, they would have to wait until next week if they wanted to wait for him to make another house visit.

It was naturally good that they could see a patient today.

Xu Meixi nodded, hurriedly taking the name list and running out to register the patients who had not been registered. She quickly handed the name list to Sang Qianqian.

Although Xu Meixi had already filtered the list in advance and Sang Qianqian had filtered it again, the number of patients still exceeded their expectations.

By the time she finished checking on all the patients in the morning, it was already almost one o’clock. There was no more food in the hospital cafeteria, so Sang Qianqian arranged for Xu Meixi to order takeaway for everyone.

Director Miao slumped into a chair and massaged his sore waist. He looked like he had nothing to live for. “You guys are really good at finding trouble for me. My old bones are about to fall apart.”

“That’s because your medical skills are too high and your reputation is too well-known. Everyone came because of your reputation.”

Sang Qianqian smiled and passed the lunch box to Director Miao. “Jinhui and I will be doing outpatient consultations in the afternoon. It won’t be as lively as it is in the morning.”

“It’s too early to say that, Qianqian.”

Yin Jinhui pointed at the plus sign on the table and said weakly, “I just looked through it. There arc still quite a few people here. It’s likely that we can’t get off work normally.”

“If you really can’t stand it, don’t force yourself.”

Director Miao said, “It’s the same if they come tomorrow. There’s no need to rush them to come today.”

“Yes, I know,”

Sang Qianqian ate a mouthful of rice. “The patients I’ve assigned to Meixi are all from other places. The earlier we see them, the earlier we can go back. Otherwise, the cost for our stay every day in Beijing will be higher in food and accommodations.”

Xu Meixi nodded repeatedly. “Eight out of ten of these foreign patients are from the countryside. Moreover, many of them are from poor families. They kept asking me if they could see a doctor today and how much it would cost to have their diseases checked. A patient just said that they arrived last night, but they didn’t even spend money to book a hotel and slept in the hospital corridor for the night.”

Director Miao’s expression was also a little heavy. He sighed softly. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you.”

The few of them finished their meal in a hurry and Director Miao headed straight to the airport for a business trip. Sang Qianqian and Yin Jinhui did not rest and returned to their respective clinics to start their afternoon work.

Yin Jinhui was right. They did not get off work normally. As the sun set outside and the sky darkened, Sang Qianqian finally saw the last patient off. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had been so busy the entire afternoon that she didn’t even have time to drink a sip of water, so she couldn’t help but feel thirsty at this moment.

She took the cup and went to pour some water. There was a knock on the door, to which Sang Qianqian quickly said, “Come in.”

Someone pushed the door open and entered, his footsteps light and steady.

“Please take a seat first. I’ll come after I drink some water.”

Sang Qianqian thought that there were still patients, so she did not turn around. She drank a few mouthfuls of water in a row, finally not feeling as dry as before.

Just as she was about to turn around, she vaguely sensed that the ‘patient’ who had just entered seemed to have silently walked behind her.

She was shocked and turned around in a hurry.. Her eyes suddenly widened and the cup in her hand fell!
