Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Such Insult
At the hospital until after eight, Song Xiaodong and Wang Xiaoqiang went home together. During that time, Lin Suâer never showed up, probably because she wasnât on duty tonight.
No sooner had they arrived home and changed their clothes when someone rushed in like the wind.
Song Xiaoru got a fright, and Song Xiaodong, with a flying kick, sent the person flying back out again.
"Ouch! Mr. Song! Itâs me!" A cry of pain came from outside.
Recognizing the voice as somewhat familiar, Song Xiaodong went outside to see the person who had gotten up and realized it was Xiao Yingyingâs underling.
"Are you sick or something? I thought it was a robbery," Song Xiaodong said with irritation.
"Mr. Song, I was just in a panic. Our young lady has fallen ill, and itâs quite serious. Could you please come with me right away?"
"If sheâs ill, then hurry up and take her to the hospital. What are you doing looking for me?" Song Xiaodong furrowed his brows.
"We have a doctor at home who specializes in taking care of the young lady, and heâs even a heart disease expert, but he said this time she might... might not make it. The first person I thought of was you, to see if you could save the young lady. She really is a good person."
As the guy spoke, he even started to tear up.
This surprised Song Xiaodong somewhat. He had seen many bodyguards in wealthy families, and many were loyal, but it was rare to find someone like this man, who showed genuine emotion.
"Youâre quite concerned about your young lady," Song Xiaodong said, turning around to walk back inside while making a casual remark.
"The young lady has helped me a lot. I would even die for her. Iâm begging you, Mr. Song, please save our young lady," the bodyguard followed in, then thumped to his knees behind Song Xiaodong.
"I didnât say I wouldnât go," Song Xiaodong said impatiently. "Donât I need to get some things? Can I save someone with just my bare hands?"
The man paused for a moment, then leaped up as if heâd gone crazy, saying excitedly, "Right, right, I knew Mr. Song would definitely come to save the young lady."
Song Xiaodong had initially wanted Song Xiaoru to rest at home, but she insisted on going with concern, so he had no choice but to agree. They took the car driven by the bodyguard, ran countless red lights, and arrived at Xiao Yingyingâs home in less than twenty minutes.
The Xiao familyâs residence was a standalone villa in the suburbs, not small in size, complete with gardens and a swimming pool, and the surroundings were quite nice.
They had no trouble entering the yard, but as soon as the three of them reached the villaâs entrance, two bodyguards stopped them.
"Chen Jun, who are these people?"
It was Chen Jun who had brought Song Xiaodong and his group inside, and he quickly said, "I have invited a very skilled doctor who can treat the young ladyâs illness."
The two bodyguards looked at Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru, both frowning involuntarily. These two were clearly young and did not look like renowned doctors at all.
But for this matter, they dared not be vague, and were about to step aside when a young man in his early thirties approached, frowning as he asked, "Whatâs going on?"
Chen Jun hurriedly said, "Young master, Iâve brought an acclaimed doctor who can cure the young miss."
The young master was Xiao Yingyingâs cousin. Yingyingâs father had only one sibling, and both brothers had only one child each. Her mother had no siblings, so in Yingyingâs generation, there was only Xiao Zhiming.
Xiao Zhiming glanced at Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru. At the sight of Song Xiaodong, his brows furrowed, but upon seeing Song Xiaoru, his eyes brightened.
Chen Jun hastily said, "Mr. Song, this is the young missâs cousin, Xiao Zhiming. Young master, Mr. Song here is the acclaimed doctor who can treat the young miss. Please let him go up and see her now."
"Heâs an acclaimed doctor?" Xiao Zhiming looked at Song Xiaodong again, and his eyes instantly revealed a strong disdain.
Wearing a big T-shirt, a pair of beach shorts, and slippers, Song Xiaodong indeed didnât look like an acclaimed doctor.
Chen Jun anxiously said, "Young master, Mr. Song was resting at home. I brought him over in a hurry, and he didnât even have time to change his clothes. Letâs not talk about this for now; the priority is to treat the young miss."
Xiao Zhiming, impatient, said, "You are really causing trouble. You know very well the extent of the young missâs illness, and the worldâs medical experts have already seen her. I have no idea where you found this person to come here and swindle."
Upon hearing this, Song Xiaodongâs face immediately darkened, and he turned to leave with Song Xiaoru.
Chen Jun reached out to grab Song Xiaodongâs arm and said in panic, "Mr. Song, Mr. Song, please donât get angry. The young master doesnât know about your medical skill, so he spoke out of turn. Please, donât take offence. I must first apologize on behalf of the young master."
Xiao Zhiming glared and snapped, "Nonsense, what am I to apologize for? Chen Jun, donât forget your place. In this household, who are you to make decisions for me?"
Chen Jun, with eyes red with urgency, said, "Young master, Iâve been disrespectful to you. Later, you can hit me, scold me, kill me if you like, but Iâm begging you, please let Mr. Song see the young miss now."
Xiao Zhimingâs face turned grim as he said, "No way. The doctors have just said that Yingying can live for a few more days if she rests quietly. If some quack doctor messes things up and she dies, who is going to bear the responsibility?"
Under Xiao Zhimingâs fierce glare, Chen Jun was startled and, for a moment, didnât know what to say.
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Chen Jun, as you can see, Iâm not to blame here. Life and death are predestined; if he wonât let me see her, then thereâs nothing I can do."
Showcasing his impatience, Xiao Zhiming waved his hand and said, "Hmph, just go, go, go. Attempting to deceive us for money, youâve really got some nerve."
Song Xiaodongâs gaze hardened as he looked at Xiao Zhiming and scoffed, "Well said. Just for that comment, even if the Xiao Family comes to me on their knees in the future, I will absolutely not come."
Xiao Zhimingâs expression turned cold as he retorted, "How arrogant! My Xiao Family kneel before you? What a joke. Just leave, and donât make me have someone throw you out."
"Ha... well said, indeed!" Song Xiaodong laughed out loud, then left, pulling along Song Xiaoru.
Chen Jun wanted to stop them, but Song Xiaodong waved his hand and brushed him aside. His good intentions of saving someone had been met with such insult. Not simply for himself, but also for his sister who was present, Song Xiaodong was immensely indignant. Were it not for Song Xiaoruâs presence, he definitely would not have let the matter rest so easily.
