So You're Such A Doctor Song - Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Not Even Letting You Off During Broad Daylight

The rehearsal went on until after five in the evening and dinner was just some takeaway, eaten in a rush. Changqing changed into her dress for the night and came out. Zuo Qian was holding on to the script as he walked over from behind her. When he saw a mark on the lower right side of her back, he was stunned and felt a burning pain in his heart. “Changqing… this set of clothes is a little unsuitable—change into another set.”

Changqing was puzzled and lowered her head as she looked at herself. “I don’t think so; I find it quite suitable.”

“Your back…” Zuo Qian reminded her softly.

Chuchu turned around to look at the mirror behind her and was shocked. After that, she quickly scuttled into the changing room. Her face was hot and fiery. Finished. How embarrassing. This was all Song Chuchu’s fault. She told him not to leave any marks on her chest so he bit her back instead.

Was he the same species as Robben?

The production team would only order a set of clothes for her every week, so since she had no other choice, she could only pick a dress that a female guest wore before from among the production team’s costumes.

It was after ten in the evening. Changqing was done recording her program and Song Chuyi called her. “Come back earlier and don’t drink. It’s late at night, so don’t eat and drink with the people on your production team so often.”

“Your degree of control is really broad,” Changqing mumbled. “Sometimes, it’s not my say whether I go or not; I can’t refuse their offer sometimes.”

“It’s okay, I’ll give your Director Mei a call later,” Song Chuyi said quickly.

“When did you get Mei Zong’s number?” Changqing was in awe. Forget that Boss Feng was in his control. Could it be that Mei Zong would have to do his bidding in the future too? Then she would really have no right to freedom.

“I asked her for it before; I knew it would come in handy.” Song Chuyi laughed softly. “I’m hanging up; I have a call to make.”

Changqing rolled her eyes at her phone and in no time, Mei Zong’s phone rang.

No one knew what Song Chuyi said. Mei Zong instructed her to go home straight away.

It was past eleven at night. Song Chuchu returned from his rounds with a few interns. The Chief Nurse, Ma Ping, came over and said, “Dr. Song, you came back at the right time—an old patient whom you provided critical care for before was sent over from the A&E.”

“Who?”

“Shen Lu.”

Song Chuyi was shocked. “What happened? Wasn’t she recovering well when she was discharged?”

“I’m not sure. I heard she fainted in her villa tonight. It was her son who drove her over in a hurry.” Ma Ping said, “I’ve already arranged a VIP ward for her and her son is currently in the ward.”

“I got it. I’ll take a look at the report from the A&E later.” Song Chuyi went back to his office to review Shen Lu’s medical history on his computer.

After 10 minutes, Song Chuyi went to the VIP ward. The door wasn’t shut. Fu Yu, who was dressed in a black, custom-made suit, sat on the couch by the bed. He had his face in his hands and the pale light cast on him made the image look slightly gloomy.

As for Shen Lu, if her face wasn’t awfully pale, she would’ve looked like she was still sound asleep.

Song Chuyi raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Fu Yu lifted his head. When he saw Song Chuyi, his face sank firmly.

“I’m sorry; I’m on shift tonight. Besides, your Mom’s condition has been handled by me, so it’d be better if I perform the checkup.” Song Chuyi opened up his stride and walked in.

Fu Yu suddenly gripped his coat ruthlessly and said icily, “Do you know how to treat illnesses? You’ve taken my money and said my Mom would be alright. Now she’s unconscious again.”

“You’ll have to ask yourself about that.” Song Chuyi said lightly, “Yes, there would inevitably be symptoms of giddiness after an operation. After all, brain tumor surgery is a major surgery that always implicates the nerves in the brain. A person’s brain is like a computer system. Once a problem arises somewhere, it’s hard to function normally. Such a big tumor was just removed from your Mom’s brain. It will definitely take more than just a month or two to recover completely; she needs to go through the healing process. Therefore, I told you to get a nurse to always keep a watch on your Mom after discharge, and at the same time, to always return to the hospital for follow-ups. Just last week, your Mom came to the hospital for a follow-up and I did the check-up on her personally. Her recovery in various aspects wasn’t bad. However, the report sent from the A&E today said that your Mom’s unconsciousness was due to increased pressure in your Mom’s skull. She was fine before. Did you do something to agitate her?”

Fu Yu’s face changed suddenly.

Song Chuyi said expressionlessly, “Do you know that if tonight’s situation was a little more serious, it could’ve led to the patient’s failure in her respiratory cycle which would’ve lead to death?”

Fu Yu turned his face away, watching Shen Lu who was on the bed, as he slowly clenched his fists.

“The people from the A&E must’ve told you that your Mom needs to be hospitalized for observation. She can only be discharged when her blood pressure, pulse, and pulse pressure are all back to normal.” Song Chuyi stopped looking at Fu Yu. He lowered his head as he performed a check up on Shen Lu.

Fu Yu sat by the side without making a sound.

After Song Chuyi completed his routine check-up and gave some instructions for a few things to note for the check-ups, he turned to walk away.

“Wait,” Fu Yu called out at him from behind.

Song Chuyi’s footsteps paused. He turned back to look at Fu Yu. “Is anything else the matter?”

“Can you… not tell Changqing or her family about this?” Fu Yu said as he lowered his voice.

Song Chuyi was stunned. Fu Yu had rarely spoken to him so humbly. During Shen Lu’s earlier hospitalizations, Fu Yu couldn’t wait for Changqing to find out and visit Shen Lu at the hospital. When the time came, Fu Yu would get a chance to meet her.

Song Chuyi felt there must be a problem somewhere.

“Why?” He raised his brows.

Fu Yu gritted his teeth. “No reason. Do you want Changqing to come to the hospital to visit my Mom?”

“Do you still think I’m worried that you have the ability to snatch her away now?” Song Chuyi scoffed and turned to walk away.

Fu Yu stared at his retreating back, kicking the door frame in a fit of anger.

Early the next morning, when Song Chuyi was resting in his office, the Chief Nurse, Ma Ping, brought him breakfast and coffee on the way up from the canteen.

Song Chuyi was exhausted and ate the noodles with huge mouthfuls quickly after receiving it.

Ma Ping smiled as she said, “Dr. Song, really, it’s so tiring to take consecutive shifts like this. I really don’t understand why would you offer to change shifts. Was it to keep your wife company the past two days?”

Song Chuyi slowed down. He was regretting it now. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have swapped shifts. A night shift followed by a day shift was really f*cking tiring.

“Right, that Shen Lu has woken up,” Ma Ping suddenly said. “When I went over at six in the morning, I saw Fu Yu and Shen Lu ignoring each other. The atmosphere was so weird. It seemed like the mother and son are in a cold war with each other.”

Song Chuyi was shocked. He recalled Fu Yu’s expression last night—it was strange too.

However, he was in the outpatient department for the day shift today, and in any case, he wouldn’t run into Fu Yu, so it would be best if he didn’t worry about things unrelated to him.

In the evening, after getting off work, he could only head over since Changqing and the dog were both at the Yan Household.

In the courtyard, Changqing pulled Robben playfully. When Song Chuyi got out of the car and saw her dressed in her home clothes, he frowned. “You’re not working today?”

Changqing shook her head. “I’m resting today.”

Song Chuyi simply felt like cursing. If he had known earlier, what did he change shifts for?

“What’s wrong with you? Why does your complexion look so bad?” Changqing asked carefully, “Are you too tired?”

“… A little.” Song Chuyi walked into the living room with no expression.

Changqing followed along, pulling Robben with her.

Auntie Zhang wasn’t done with dinner yet. Song Chuyi went upstairs to take a shower first and changed into a clean set of clothes before coming downstairs. By that time, Yan Lei was back too.

However, Yan Lei didn’t seem quite happy. When they were having their meal, he kept glancing at his phone.

A phone rang suddenly and Yan Lei quickly picked his up to take a look, but the screen was still black.

“Dad, it was my phone,” Song Chuyi told him and picked up the call.

Yan Lei’s face darkened. Changqing asked softly, “Daddy, did something happen between you and Auntie Shen?”

“It’s not that; it’s just that after I took your Auntie Shen back yesterday, she didn’t contact me the entire night. I’m worried that Fu Yu found out about us…” Yan Lei said hesitantly.

“Brother Fu Yu would support the two of you if he knew.” Changqing wasn’t really sure where Yan Lei’s worries came from. In her heart, Brother Fu Yu had already decided to treat her as a sister. If Auntie Shen married her father, then they would be closer.

Yan Lei looked at her with a complicated expression. His daughter was really innocent.

How would Fu Yu really agree to be her brother in name?

Besides, Song Chuyi put his phone down and happened to hear “Auntie Shen”. Hence, he said, “Are you talking about Auntie Shen Lu?”

Yan Lei nodded after a slight hesitation.

“She was hospitalized last night because the pressure in her skull increased…” Song Chuyi hadn’t finished speaking when he heard the sound of Yan Lei’s chopsticks dropping on the table.

He was stunned. When he saw Yan Lei’s anxious and worried face, he suddenly seemed to understand some things and he also understood why Fu Yu didn’t want him to tell them about last night.

So it was like this.

What a complicated relationship.

His head hurt. However, recalling Shen Lu’s sickly look, it was quite pitiful. He continued: “However, she was sent to the hospital in time and she’s already out of danger, but she has to stay at the hospital for further observation.”

Yan Lei let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good. However, wasn’t she fine before? How did she suddenly…”

“Perhaps… she was agitated,” Song Chuyi said lightly after pondering for a while.

Yan Lei’s face sank and he stood up suddenly. “You two continue. I’m going out for a while.”

“Dad, do you need me to accompany you?” Changqing said worriedly.

“No need. You stay at home with Chuyi.” Yan Family took the car keys and left hurriedly.

In the big living room, suddenly only the sound of Robben gnawing hard at his bone could be heard.

“Is your Dad going to the hospital?” Song Chuyi asked.

Changqing nodded and observed his expression. He would have to know certain things sooner or later. However, she was afraid that he would be unhappy. After all, Shen Lu was Fu Yu’s mother. “Actually… my Dad and Auntie Shen Lu have liked each other for a very long time. It’s just that before, Auntie Shen decided to give up because of me and Fu Yu. After so many years, my Dad and Auntie Shen Lu finally reunited and they still have each other in their hearts. Especially when my Dad found out what Auntie Shen Lu had gone through. It’s really very pitiful. Auntie Shen Lu’s husband had a woman and illegitimate daughter overseas from a very long time ago. Auntie Shen Lu knew about all this but she endured it all in order to give Fu Yu a complete family. However, she still ended up being dumped.

“Now that Auntie Shen Lu’s health isn’t very good and Fu Yu is very busy too, my Dad really wants to take care of her…”

Changqing’s eyes reddened as she spoke.
