Chapter 57: This sister-in-law of hers is Old Master Lu

The Capital—

The First People's Hospital.

"Doctor, my classmate's mother has appendicitis. Can you arrange a hospital bed and surgery as soon as possible?

The hallway is noisy, and there's no privacy at all."

In an office on the third floor, a young female comrade with a low ponytail and a woolen coat took a red envelope from her pocket and was about to stuff it into the doctor's white coat pocket.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged female doctor was very serious and refused, her eyes filled with frost, and she directly rejected—

"This comrade, please show some respect. Our hospital has regulations; we don't accept red envelopes from patients' families. You are inducing me to make a mistake!

Take the red envelope away. Bed spaces need to be queued for. Walk slowly, I won't see you out!"

After speaking, she rang the bell on her desk, summoned an assistant nurse, and asked the person to leave.

"Hey, my sister-in-law is a staff member of your hospital. Her name is Lu Manman, Lu as in the continent. Aren't you colleagues? Can't you give a convenience to the relatives of staff family members?"

The young female comrade was unwilling to be chased out like this and hurriedly shouted, stating the name of her sister-in-law that she was proud of.

Who would have thought that the middle-aged female doctor was confused. Lu Manman?

Who was that? She didn't know her.

The assistant nurse was a female comrade, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, full of righteousness.

She scanned the female comrade who intended to stuff the red envelope and induce Director Wang to make a mistake with disdain and expelled her impolitely:

"This comrade, please don't disturb Director Wang's work. Please leave, or I'll call the security personnel over."

"Hey, what kind of attitude is this? My sister-in-law is the granddaughter of the Lu family, Lu Manman. Her grandfather is—"

"Bang."

Before the female comrade in front could finish her sentence, the office door slammed shut.

The gust of wind from the door panel hit her face, almost hitting her nose!

"Damn it, what kind of broken hospital, what kind of attitude. Isn't it just holding the public's rice bowl?

Why act like no one else is? Is it necessary to be so fierce and chase people away?"

The young female comrade muttered in a low voice and put the red envelope in her hand back into her bag.

Calming down, she was a bit troubled.

Yesterday, she had guaranteed to her classmate that since her sister-in-law was at this hospital, she could definitely use internal connections to get a hospital bed!

But she didn't expect that even after she brought up her sister-in-law's name, this Director Wang in the office wouldn't give her any face!

She wasn't brainless. Generally, in this situation, either this Director Wang's rank and family background were higher than her sister-in-law's, or...

It shouldn't be that, right?

This sister-in-law of hers is Old Master Lu's own granddaughter!

If you don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. Grandpa had said that it was fine for her to stay in the Capital, but she had to be well-behaved and not cause trouble for her brother and sister-in-law.

Especially to get along well with her sister-in-law. Although Old Master Lu behind her sister-in-law had retired, his "students are everywhere," and there were existences in high positions in every province who had been cultivated by him...

Lu Manman had just finished a surgery as an assistant accompanying the Vice President who had been cultivating her. Just as she took off her sterile suit and came out of the sterile room, she bumped into Gu Yinyin, the adopted daughter of the Gu family, at the corner.

"Sister-in-law."

Lu Manman subconsciously used her coat to block the name tag pinned to her chest, fearing that the other party would see her surname.

Then, she tried to express concern as naturally as possible:

"Yinyin? Why are you at the hospital? Is something wrong with your health?"

"Oh my, sister-in-law, it's not that I'm sick, it's my classmate's mother. She has appendicitis, and there are no beds in the hospital; she's living in the hallway!

It's not that I'm saying anything, but your hospital has too many rules, and the staff's quality is really poor!

I kindly gave a director a red envelope to make things convenient for me and let my classmate's mother cut the line into a hospital room, but she..."

Gu Yinyin had lived in the Northeast with the Gu family since she was a child. She had a loud voice and a thick Northeast accent.

Lu Manman's ears were hurting from the noise at close range, but she couldn't show a trace of dissatisfaction on her face and had to pretend to be intimate, playing the role of a good sister-in-law.

"Shh, keep it down. Yinyin, you've lived abroad since you were a child and don't understand the rules of big cities like the Capital. How could you carelessly give someone a red envelope?

Hey, you're just too impulsive. How about this, take me to your classmate's mother, and I'll check her situation and then find a way to arrange surgery for her as soon as possible."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, you're so good. I even said before that you weren't worthy of my brother. I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

Gu Yinyin didn't hear the subtext and was easily fooled.

When she first saw this sister-in-law, who wasn't very attractive and whose appearance could at most be considered delicate, she was a bit repulsed.

Ask yourself?

If your brother had pampered you since you were a child, and suddenly one day, the love your brother gave you had to be shared with your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law might even snatch away all your brother's love, would you give your sister-in-law a good look?

Gu Yinyin wouldn't, so for a period of time, she hated this sister-in-law very much.

When Grandpa left the Capital, he earnestly told her not to offend her sister-in-law willfully.

Her sister-in-law was a member of the Lu family, and the Lu family had a very lofty status in the Capital.

If she could restrain her temper, on one hand, it wouldn't make her brother feel embarrassed in the middle, and on the other hand, she could borrow the east wind of her sister-in-law's maternal family to pick a good marriage that was a match in social status!

Therefore, she was gradually correcting her mindset.

She was the adopted daughter of the Gu family. If she hadn't been held in the palm of Grandpa's hand and cared for by her brother since she was a child, she might not know which mountain ditch she would be in now.

It was the Gu family that gave her a good standard of living and gave her a new life!

Therefore, for Grandpa and for her brother, she would endure her hatred for her sister-in-law and try her best to play the role of a younger sister who knew she was wrong and listened obediently.

"It—it's okay."

Lu Manman's fingernails subconsciously pinched into her palms. On the surface, she was magnanimous and tolerant, but in her heart, she was stung again.

Both of them had their own thoughts, and for a time, neither discovered the other's flaws.

After Lu Manman checked the patient's condition, she first sent Gu Yinyin away. Turning around to climb the stairs, her expression immediately collapsed.

Adjusting her mood for a while, she continued to climb the stairs to find the Vice President for help...

If only that jade pendant were still there.

In her past life at this time, she had already relied on the spiritual spring water to make a name for herself in the hospital, and everyone praised her for being beautiful, kind-hearted, and having superb medical skills!

Even the hospital director thought highly of her and recommended her to participate in the exchange meeting at the hospital in Jinling...

But now, even though the time point had arrived, there was no news from the hospital at all!

Could it be?

Her rebirth was a butterfly effect, changing the development of some established routes from her past life?

Perhaps it was because she didn't have the spiritual spring as a foundation, she was always a bit insecure and guilty now...

Vice President's office—

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

"Little Lu, you don't go to rest, why did you come to my office? Is there something wrong?"

"It's like this, Vice President. I have a friend, her mother has acute appendicitis..." ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
