Chapter 659: Chapter 651 He Agreed Chapter 659: Chapter 651 He Agreed Therefore, she had settled scores with the Tong Family, and right or wrong, it all lay in the hearts of those involved.
“Mr.
Gu, I’m begging you to do me this favor.”
Tong Feng now spoke with a tone that was humble and conciliatory.
“Can you save my granddaughter?
You’re the only one who can persuade her now.” By this time, Tong Feng had lost all the pride he used to have.
All his arrogance and self-esteem had been quietly crushed amidst the series of misfortunes.
For the first time, he understood what humility felt like.
For the first time, he learned how to ask for help.
For the first time, he also felt regret.
No matter what, it was my fault as an elder.
Sisi has already become like that, almost no different from a disabled person, now that she has no hands, she can’t lose her legs too.
I know she’s not been good, she’s also been very willful, but all of this is my fault for not raising her properly.
It’s my indulgence that allowed her to make mistakes.

“So you’re admitting that a crooked beam leads to a skewed house?”
Gu Ning interjected indifferently, leaving Tong Feng speechless for quite some time.
Dr.
Zhu, standing off to the side, was confused by the conversation but also shook his head and sighed.
The young people today are really straightforward.
No matter what, Tong Feng is still an elder, isn’t he?
How can you talk to your elders like that?
Tong Feng seemed to be holding back something, his unattended white hair over the past few days looking even grayer — not like before when it had been white yet clean, frosty and charming.
Now it appeared as though it was covered in layers of dust, making him look even more disheveled.
“What do I need to do for you to help me?
Do I need to kneel before you and beg?”
As Tong Feng spoke, he also stood up, his knees seemingly about to bend.
But just as he was about to kneel, Gu Ning also stood up, and without looking back, walked outside, leaving Dr.
Zhu feeling awkward.
Why do they all have to pull these stunts?
Can’t we talk things out slowly?
Playing this kind of game, you leave, I leave, never solves any problems.
“If you want to kneel, kneel before her with your granddaughter.”
Gu Ning’s words fell lightly, and more bloodshot veins appeared in Tong Feng’s eyes, but it seemed to ignite a glimmer of hope.
“He agreed?”
Tong Feng’s voice trembled as he asked Dr.
Zhu.
The careful and cautious demeanor made Dr.
Zhu feel quite sorry for him.
No matter what his child had done, it shouldn’t extend to the parents, and not to mention, this was about his granddaughter.
Where had the parents fled to, forcing an old man, one foot in the grave, to go through this trouble and stress, to beg for help?
“Yes, he agreed.”
Dr.
Zhu wasn’t actually certain, but he couldn’t bear to see him like this.
Even if it wasn’t an agreement, he intended to find Gu Ning again.
Gu Ning had a good relationship with him; if it hadn’t been for Gu Ning, Tang Yuxin might not have come to their hospital.
He believed his own reputation carried some weight, and as long as Gu Ning agreed, then persuading Tang Yuxin would be easier.
After Tong Feng left, Dr.
Zhu had no choice but to look for Gu Ning himself.
“Do you want to know why Yuxin won’t save Tong Shu?”
Gu Ning placed the cup in front of Director Zhu, who took it with a somewhat awkward smile, clearly understanding the principle that “what you don’t wish for yourself, don’t do to others.”
This wasn’t persuasion; it was coercion.
“Tell me about it,” actually, Director Zhu himself was quite curious.
What kind of issue could necessitate such a life-or-death situation?
Gu Ning also picked up his cup and sat down beside Director Zhu.
He truly didn’t have a knack for storytelling, and while he spoke very simply and plainly, his few words left Director Zhu stunned for a long time.
“Is what you’re saying true?”
Director Zhu quickly slammed the cup in his hand onto the table, unable to even drink his water.
“What do you think?”
Gu Ning didn’t directly answer Director Zhu’s question.
As for whether it was true, anyone with eyes could see for themselves, otherwise, why would there be Tang Yuxin’s refusal to save someone, and Tong Feng’s humble pleas?
So these were the reasons behind everything.
It turns out they were all due to a sense of guilt.
Since Tong Feng had done such a shameless thing, he no longer deserved the respect that comes with the title of an elder.
If he was heartless, why should others show him any respect?
However, he placed his hand on his forehead, feeling an intense headache.
It was all his own fault.
He smacked his lips; he had agreed too readily initially, and now it was too late for regrets.
“I’ll talk to her,” Gu Ning picked up his cup and brought it to his lips, savoring the water-like flow of life.
“I will make her save people, not for any other reason, but because she is a doctor, and that is her sacred duty.”
What more could Director Zhu say?
He had truly brought it upon himself.
Had he known the situation would be like this, he would have never allowed himself to get involved.
Botching this would mean he would become a pariah both inside and out.
Wasn’t he simply asking for trouble…
looking for a beating?
Tang Yuxin hadn’t had much going on lately; she was actually just working her routine in the hospital, apart from the necessary consultations and surgeries, she had already started preparing her medicinal liquor.
Her stock of medicinal liquor was running low; she originally had two jars of it—one she gave to Gu Ning, and the other was for herself.
She was already feeling quite pained about it, losing three jars in one fell swoop, but at least she would have one jar left.
If everyone just had a little, it would suffice.
However, who could have known Tang Sisi, that ungrateful wretch, learned that her cheap grandfather liked medicinal liquor, and specifically asked for that jar from her?
That young girl had never proactively asked her for anything ever since she was little, and this was the first time.
No matter what, Tang Yuxin wouldn’t have been able to refuse, and so, with great reluctance, she had to give away that jar of liquor to Sisi.
Thus, she was left with no jar for herself.
It was a good thing that she had had the foresight to have Gu Ning move a jar earlier.
Otherwise, that greedy old man would surely have found numerous excuses to scalper all of it away.
Old Master Wang treated that liquor as though it was his lifeline, claiming it extended life and vitality, making him feel sprightlier with each drink.
He kept all those jars hidden for himself, considering them elixirs for a long and healthy life.
He was so miserly that he wouldn’t even let his son get a whiff of the liquor’s scent, fearing the waste of good stuff.
So she needed to restock.
If she started brewing now, there would still be enough time.
Even though medicinal herbs were hard to come by, she would eventually find them.
In about ten to twenty years, it would be ready to drink and would have the same medicinal effects as those medicinal liquors.
Of course, she was brewing a lot this time.
Seeing how Old Master Wang was, living to eighty or ninety years old wouldn’t be a problem, and these liquors would likely result in a significant depletion of her stocks in the future.
