Chapter 210: Zhang Xiaoli, you aren't walking out of this door today!

Xie Fenglan stood at the doorway, carrying the meal she had just bought, and seeing Zhang Xiaoli sitting by her son's bedside, her anger flared up instantly.

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhang Xiaoli stood up at once, turned around, and greeted the old lady enthusiastically.

"Mom, I've been busy with company matters lately, haven't I? Besides, look, I'm here now, aren't I?" Zhang Xiaoli said with a smile, not at all angry at the words Xie Fenglan had just used to scold her.

Such a graceful demeanor left the other two patients in the ward stunned.

"Zhang Xiaoli, you still have the nerve to come? You are Xiaojun's wife, yet you mess around behind my son's back with that bastard Lin Dazhi. You shameless bitch, you still dare to come and see Xiaojun? I'm going to tear you to pieces today, you slut!"

As she spoke, Xie Fenglan put down the meal in her hand and, looking aggressive, prepared to pounce on Zhang Xiaoli to strike her.

But standing beside Zhang Xiaoli were four professional bodyguards; how could they let this old shrew have her way?

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, pinning Xie Fenglan from the left and right, remaining unmoved by her hitting and cursing, and held her firmly under control.

"What are you doing? Huh? Who are you people? Let me go right now!"

"Zhang Xiaoli, did you bring these people? What do you want to do by bringing so many people? Are you trying to intimidate me with numbers? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid!"

"You should go and ask around—who has Xie Fenglan ever been afraid of in all these years?"

"Zhang Xiaoli, have you gone mad? You are the daughter-in-law of our Lao Zhou Family, and I am your mother. Is this how you treat your elders? You unfilial thing!"

……

While Xie Fenglan was there cursing loudly, Zhou Xiaojun and Zhou Yue were not idle either.

"Zhang Xiaoli, you fucking bitch, you dare to have people hit my mother? I'll fucking kill you!" Lying on the hospital bed, Zhou Xiaojun struggled to get up, spewing all sorts of extremely foul language.

Zhou Yue also shrieked, "Zhang Xiaoli, what are you doing? Tell them to let Mom go! She's so old; if something happens to her, can you take responsibility?"

"What are you people doing? I'm telling you to let the old lady go immediately, or I'm calling the police!"

As Zhou Yue spoke, she tried to rush up and attack the two bodyguards, but was blocked by another one.

Zhang Xiaoli sat leisurely in her chair, watching this farce, and only after they had made enough of a scene did she sigh softly and say, "Mom, Sister, can you blame me for this? I came to see Xiaojun with good intentions, but you—the moment you saw me, you started hitting and cursing. Since that's the case, I'll just leave."

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoli stood up to leave.

"No, you are not allowed to leave! Zhang Xiaoli, you aren't walking out of this door today until you make things clear!" Xie Fenglan screamed.

"What's going on? What's going on? This is a hospital, don't cause trouble!" Hearing the commotion in the ward, a doctor walked in and said with a frown.

He had come for his rounds and happened to see this scene.

However, when he saw Zhang Xiaoli sitting in front of Zhou Xiaojun's bed, he was also taken aback for a moment.

What a beautiful woman!

Seeing the doctor, Zhang Xiaoli said apologetically, "Doctor, I'm sorry, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are a bit emotionally agitated."

The doctor nodded and said to her, "You are~~~"

Zhang Xiaoli stood up gracefully and pointed to Zhou Xiaojun behind her, saying, "I am his wife."

"Oh, sigh, why haven't I seen you before?" the doctor asked curiously, a flash of sympathy appearing in his eyes.

Such a beautiful woman, yet her husband has contracted this kind of illness; it is truly a pity.

"I've been busy with work lately, so I haven't had time," Zhang Xiaoli explained with a smile.

"That sounds better than it is! You slut, was it that you didn't have time? You had time to mess around with your sister-in-law's ex-husband, but no time to come and see your own husband? Ptooey! Zhang Xiaoli, I've never seen a woman as shameless as you!" Held back by the two bodyguards, Xie Fenglan, with her hair disheveled, cursed Zhang Xiaoli while spitting at her.

Hearing the old lady's words, the other two patients in the ward and the doctor on rounds all wore expressions of gossip at the same time!

Is it really that explosive?

"Mom, save your energy. Actually, I came here today for two reasons: first, to see Xiaojun, and second, to resolve this matter. How about this—let's talk about our family affairs later, and let the doctor finish his work first, okay?" Zhang Xiaoli said with a beaming smile.

Hearing Zhang Xiaoli say this, Xie Fenglan puffed up with anger and fell silent.

Seeing this beautiful woman being so reasonable, the doctor showed a friendly smile in his eyes.

He also saw those bodyguards who clearly weren't people to be trifled with; to be protected like this, this woman's status was not simple either!

He said kindly to Zhang Xiaoli, "Since you're here and your family members are all present, come, come, all of you come over here. It's still about that previous matter; I need to say a few more words to you."

Hearing the doctor's words, Zhang Xiaoli nodded with a smile and followed the doctor out the door.

Seeing this, the bodyguards released Xie Fenglan and Zhou Yue, but they still followed them vigilantly to prevent them from hurting Zhang Xiaoli again.

At the corner of the hallway, the doctor stood with his hands in his pockets and said to Zhang Xiaoli, "Zhou Xiaojun's condition is quite complex. If it were purely an HIV infection, it could be well-controlled through cocktail therapy, but he has congenital heart disease, and his immunity has also declined severely over this recent period. Even his various organs are showing signs of mild failure. This is not a good sign; I hope you are mentally prepared."

Hearing the doctor's words, Xie Fenglan immediately began to wipe away tears.

"Doctor, I beg you, no matter how much it costs, you must save my son. Xiaojun is my life!" Xie Fenglan said.

"Ma'am, I can understand how you feel, but this really isn't a matter of money; we must respect the laws of medicine. By the way, regarding that new drug from the United States I mentioned to you two days ago, if you are interested, you could try it. It's just that this drug is not covered by medical insurance, and the price is relatively high..."

"We'll try it, we'll try it! Doctor, don't worry, we have money, we have money! My daughter and my daughter-in-law both have money; no matter how much it costs, we will treat him!" Hearing the doctor's words, Xie Fenglan said hurriedly.

"Alright then, if you have that intention, then go pay the fees first. The cost for the first phase of treatment is about four hundred thousand, for a two-week course; let's see the results first."

After the doctor finished speaking and gave a few more instructions, he turned and left.

As soon as the doctor left, Xie Fenglan immediately came up to Zhang Xiaoli, pointed in the direction the doctor had left, and said, "You heard him, right! Xiaojun needs money for his treatment now, hurry up and get the money!"

"Alright Mom, don't worry, I've brought the money," Zhang Xiaoli said, pulling an envelope out of her bag.

"Mom, here, this is two thousand five hundred. I've taken out all my savings. I know this isn't much, but please take it to cover the emergency for now!" Zhang Xiaoli said, holding the envelope with a "sincere" look on her face.
