Chapter 50: Mother-in-Law Inspects the Son-in-Law

"Mom, let's wait for the next one."

The beautiful woman before him was Pei Nanli's mother.

"Auntie, hello. I'm Wang Chuan, Pei Nanli's classmate."

As soon as Wang Chuan finished speaking, he realized he had made a mistake; in his past life, he had only seen a photo of her mother in Pei Nanli's mobile phone, and after his rebirth, up to this point, he should not know her mother.

Of course, he could also insist, saying, "Seeing that you look similar to Pei Nanli, I guessed."

Sure enough, a flash of surprise crossed Pei Nanli's face.

But Ning Hui, full of smiles, said, "You are Wang Chuan?! I am Pei Nanli's mother, Ning Hui. Thank you for saving my daughter last night."

Regarding the incident at the hospital last night, Pei Hangping had only told her when he returned home early this morning, and the two had a huge argument.

Ning Hui accused Pei Hangping of depriving her of the right to know, and Pei Hangping responded that he had been in meetings all night and forgot about it.

At this moment, Ning Hui turned her head to Pei Nanli and said, "I have something to ask Classmate Wang Chuan. Xiao Nan, go back to your shift!"

After speaking, she walked into the elevator alone: "Wang Chuan, let's go."

Pei Nanli stood still for a long while, not knowing what her mother wanted to do, as the elevator doors had already closed.

Inside the elevator, Wang Chuan was stunned for a moment; decades of experience from his past life told him she was probably going to ask about his relationship with Pei Nanli, and then, like Pei Hangping, lecture the younger generation that young people should have a positive and upward mindset.

So he tactfully refused: "Auntie, I am delivering a late-night snack to a teacher in the Emergency Department on the Sixth Floor. I have to return to the Emergency Department for the night shift soon."

Ning Hui still kept her smile. "It doesn't matter. I will wait for you on the First Floor. You also need to go to the First Floor and walk back to the Emergency Department."

In the special ward of the Orthopedics Department on the Sixth Floor, Sun Ke received the late-night snack from Wang Chuan, and his face showed a hint of disbelief.

This was not the behavior of a young person in their early twenties who had not yet entered society.

That evening, he also went to the Dean's Office to inquire about the entire matter, only to receive severe criticism and be told that in the future, any Replantation of Amputated Finger surgery required the approval of Director Gao Cheng or Attending Physician Zhang Yang.

If it happened again, performing surgery while fatigued, he would be told to find another hospital.

"Wang Chuan, thank you today."

"Without Dr. Sun's prior Bone Shortening Fixation and Suture of Flexor and Extensor Tendons, laying such a good foundation, I could not have completed it; I estimate even if Teacher Zhang Yang had come, he could not have completed it either."

Standing in the Orthopedics Department corridor, Sun Ke listened to Wang Chuan's words; an intern student would usually reply, "You're welcome, Dr. Sun."

He thought to himself, 'This young man has great potential. Forget it, let's use this opportunity to maintain harmony.'

Attending Physician Sun coughed twice lightly, organized his thoughts, and spoke: "Wang Chuan, in the future when I am on duty, if you have time, just come over. It is still beneficial for an intern to do more hands-on work."

"Thank you, Dr. Sun. By the way, is there anything special to note regarding postoperative care?" Wang Chuan had originally intended to leave immediately.

Remembering that Pei Nanli's mother was still downstairs, he decided to drag out the time a bit, feeling there was nothing much to chat about with her mother.

He quietly listened to Attending Physician Sun's explanation: "First, the requirements for the ward: a quiet and comfortable environment, room temperature between 25 to 28 degrees Celsius, and humidity between 50% to 60%. Strict bed rest is required for seven to ten days after surgery."

"Within twenty-four hours, blood circulation must be checked every hour. Anticoagulation, antispasmodics, and antibiotics must be used routinely for a week, and so on. Postoperative Vascular Crisis generally occurs within 24 to 48 hours after surgery, and in most cases, it is caused by Vascular Embolism..."

Ten minutes passed, and Wang Chuan changed the subject again: "By the way, Dr. Sun, regarding a husband chopping off his wife's finger, did we report it to the police here?"

Chopping off an index finger clearly constitutes Intentional Injury.

Mingzhou First Hospital has only two such wards; the husband and wife each occupy one, next to each other.

"No. The wife said she chopped it herself and it had nothing to do with her husband. The husband said he chopped his own finger too," Sun Ke said.

Wang Chuan thought, which couple would be so bored that they chop off their own fingers?

Seeing Wang Chuan silent, Sun Ke added: "The husband works in Foreign Trade and travels frequently, so he suspected his wife."

Sun Ke patted Wang Chuan's shoulder and instructed again: "Wang Chuan, you are on the Night Shift today. If you have energy tomorrow during the Day Shift, come over here. I will combine these two Case Records and explain them to you."

At this moment, Vice Dean Yang had not yet told Sun Ke that he intended to find fault with Wang Chuan, make him lose face in front of Director Pei, and preferably prevent Wang Chuan from graduating.

If Sun Ke had known, he would not have said so much to Wang Chuan today.

Wang Chuan nodded; surgeries encountered in reality could not be exactly the same as in textbooks, and experience still needed to be accumulated.

At the entrance of the First Floor, Wang Chuan discovered that Pei Nanli's mother was still waiting there; it seemed she truly cared about Pei Nanli's romantic relationship.

"Auntie, hello. Can we talk while walking? I need to return to the Emergency Department early."

"No problem."

Ning Hui had not walked a few steps before saying directly: "Let me introduce my family situation. You should have met her father last night; he is the Bureau Chief of the Health Bureau, and I teach at the Law School of Mingzhou University. We have only one daughter."

The next sentence shocked Wang Chuan greatly after his rebirth.

"I do not oppose you and Pei Nanli dating. There are no requirements from her father regarding the Postgraduate Entrance Exam or the Doctoral Entrance Exam. As long as you two are happy, that's all that matters."

"When I fell for Pei Hangping, he had nothing. Without the connections of Pei Nanli's maternal grandfather, he would not be a Bureau Chief now."

"Uh~" Wang Chuan was about to explain, but Ning Hui interrupted him.

"You don't need to tell lies. In the second half of Pei Nanli's freshman year, I went to the Medical School and saw you two holding hands on the playground. Later, I came to the School several times and often saw you two together."

"Did Pei Nanli tell you to deny it?"

When Ning Hui saw her daughter holding hands with Wang Chuan during her freshman year, she thought at the time that her daughter had finally forgotten Fang Yuan and started dating.

In the following semesters, Ning Hui also went to the School and often saw Wang Chuan and Pei Nanli strolling on campus and reading books together in the library.

Yesterday, Ning Hui saw that Pei Nanli was still in contact with Fang Yuan, as well as her own daughter's behavior.

She realized her original judgment was wrong; her daughter Pei Nanli was using Wang Chuan as a cover.

This Wang Chuan was indeed somewhat similar to that Fang Yuan, but he was too honest and too pitiful.

She had also investigated Wang Chuan's background thoroughly; he was handsome, needless to say, studied well, came from an average family, and worked part-time off-campus. Last night, he not only saved her daughter but also went back to Director Tao Tao; his character could not be bad.

Ning Hui continued: "Tell Pei Nanli that you are both adults, and you will both graduate and start working in a year. Your romantic relationship can be made public. As for Pei Nanli's father, I will talk to him."

She thought to herself, 'If Wang Chuan marries my daughter, it is much better than my daughter going to Fang Yuan's family, which is a sinking ship about to go down. Supporting my son-in-law Wang Chuan is very easy.'

After speaking, she turned and left. After walking a few steps, she turned back and found Wang Chuan standing there in a daze. "Wang Chuan, hurry up and save lives and heal the wounded!"

Wang Chuan came to his senses; in his past life, did his failure happen because he never met Pei Nanli's mother?

Ning Hui drove away from the Hospital.

Ding-dong, the elevator arrived at the First Floor. Pei Nanli walked out and said, "Wang Chuan, wait a moment!"
