Chapter 24

“Grandma has been feeling chest tightness and dizziness lately. Today the weather is nice and not too hot, so she asked me to go out for a walk with her.”

“I just wanted to take my grandma for a walk in the park near home and didn’t bring the driver, but grandma said she wanted to go shopping at the wholesale market.”

“Who knew that soon after we arrived at the market, grandma suddenly grabbed her chest and said it hurt, then she fell to the ground and had difficulty breathing.”

At this point, Gu Qingqing burst into tears again: “I didn’t know what to do at the time. I wanted to carry grandma to the hospital, but I couldn’t do it.”

“Whenever I moved, my grandmother’s face turned painful. I was afraid of making her condition worse, so I didn’t dare to move. I begged them to save my grandmother, but they didn’t move.”

“It was this sister who saved grandma with a needle, and this brother and I drove her to the hospital. Otherwise, I don’t know what I would have done.”

Gu Shaoqing patted Gu Qingqing’s arm: “It’s none of your business. You’ve done a good job. Don’t blame yourself.”

Gu Shaoqing looked at the girl who was sitting on the stool and was sweating. He took two steps forward, took out a handkerchief from his bag and handed it to her.

“Thank you for your help, Miss. What’s your name?”

Xu Leshu looked up at him and then at the handkerchief in his hand, smiled and took out her own handkerchief from her bag to wipe it.

“My last name is Xu Leshu.”

“I’m not a professional medical student. I just took the risk of acupuncture because I saw your grandma’s condition was so serious.”

“Whether it’s a good thing or not, I don’t know now, just don’t blame me for not being a doctor.”

Gu Shaoqing took back the handkerchief with a smile and met her serious eyes.

“I can’t even say thank you enough, how can I blame you? If it weren’t for Miss Xu today, my grandma might have been in danger and couldn’t make it to the hospital.”

Xu Leshu nodded and was about to say something when the door of the operating room opened.

Gu Shaoqing strode to the door and stared at the person in front of him: “Uncle He, how is my grandma?”

“She’s fine now, but the old lady got sick suddenly this time. If it weren’t for this little girl using silver needles to stabilize her heart meridians and clear her blood circulation, I’m afraid she would have died before she could get to the hospital…”

Gu Shaoqing and Gu Qingqing both felt relieved when they heard this.

“Thank you, Uncle He.”

He Yu patted his shoulder and looked at Xu Leshu who had not left yet: “You must thank this little girl this time, she helped a lot.”

“Yes, I will.”

Gu Qingqing cried with joy.

He held Xu Leshu’s hand and said, “Thank you, Sister Xu. Thank you. If it weren’t for you today, I would never let myself go even if I died.”

After hearing the doctor’s words, Xu Leshu also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no problem with her acupuncture.

He smiled and looked at Gu Qingqing who was still crying: “I’m glad you’re okay. Go see your grandma. I have to go back too. I haven’t been back for so long. My family must be worried.”

Gu Qingqing didn’t let go: “Sister Xu, please leave your address. When my parents arrive tomorrow, we will go to thank them properly.”

“No, it’s just a coincidence today. Besides, I’m just here to play in the provincial capital. I don’t live there. I’ll be back in two days.”

You want to pull your hand away as you say this, huh? But I can’t pull it out.

Gu Qingqing looked at her with eyes like a puppy and refused to let go.

He turned to look at Gu Shaoqing and said, “Brother, please say something.”

Gu Shaoqing looked at her and said, “Miss Xu, don’t feel troubled. You saved the elders of your family. When you wake up, you will find out that we let your savior go.”

“I’m afraid it’s hard to escape the family rules. I hope Miss Xu can help.”

Xu Leshu’s brows twitched slightly, and she looked at the 1.9-meter-tall man with some amusement. Is he pretending to be pitiful?

Gu Qingqing was also a little confused. When did her family have family mottos?

Also, my brother is a man of the last word at home, and even my parents can’t control him. When did you become afraid?

My brother is acting a little weird today.

Xu Leshu thought about it and it made sense. They were just two siblings, and their parents were probably at work and didn’t know about it.

“I live in Pinghe Hotel, which is just opposite the government building.”

Gu Shaoqing smiled gently and nodded: “It’s already afternoon, how about Miss Xu eat before going back?”

Xu Leshu raised her hand and looked at the time. It was already five o’clock in the afternoon. She was afraid that her uncle-in-law was already waiting for her.

“No, I have to go back.”

Then he looked at Niu Fen who was standing beside him and said, “Let’s go, Brother Niu Fen.”

“Ms. Xu.”

“Huh?” Xu Leshu stopped and turned to look at him.

“My name is Gu Shaoqing.”

Gu Qingqing just remembered that she hadn’t introduced herself yet: “Sister Xu, my name is Gu Qingqing.”

Xu Leshu smiled and nodded: “I understand.”

Looking at the corridor where no one had disappeared, Gu Qingqing saw that her brother was still looking.

He waved his hand in front of him: “Brother, have you contacted your parents?”

Gu Shaoqing retracted his gaze and looked at her: “You didn’t contact?”

Gu Qingqing didn’t know why, but suddenly she felt that her brother was a little scared.

She retracted her hand innocently: “I was just thinking about calling you, and didn’t think of calling my parents.”

“Knock knock knock…”

“Xiaoshu, the secretary asked you to go to the reception room.”

Xu Leshu, who was lying on the bed taking notes, paused for a moment and looked towards the door: “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

She got out of bed with her hair down, put on her shoes, and walked out, and saw Zhou Jianjun standing at the door.

“How do we get to the reception room? Isn’t my uncle going to the government office today?”

“Some people came to thank you, including Gu Shaoqing, the full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of the province.”

“Full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee?”

“Yes.” Zhou Jianjun nodded affirmatively: “This Deputy Secretary Gu has been in the government for less than seven years, and he has reached the position of full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee at such a young age. He is a capable person.”

He turned out to be the full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. He looked only about 25 or 26 years old, but he was promoted so quickly.

No wonder I thought he had the temperament of an old cadre when I first saw him a few days ago. It turns out he is really like that.

Zhao Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip, then saw a figure at the door.

He quickly looked over and his eyes lit up.

Xu Yueshu walked up to Zhou Hao and said, “Uncle-in-law.”

Zhou Hao smiled and nodded, motioning her to look across: “This is Vice Minister Gu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and his wife, and these two are Vice Minister Gu’s children.”

“Deputy Secretary Gu Shaoqing and…”

“Gu Qingqing, uncle, my name is Gu Qingqing.”

Seeing that Zhou Hao didn’t say her name, Gu Qingqing smiled and introduced her.

Zhou Hao smiled and nodded: “Yes, Gu Qingqing.”

He motioned her to sit down. “I heard that Deputy Minister Gu came to thank you. I heard that you saved the old lady with acupuncture two days ago. Is that true?”

Xu Leshu looked at the four people opposite and nodded: “That’s what happened. I wanted to go shopping at the wholesale market that day, and I happened to see an old lady lying on the ground in pain.”

“I remembered from a medical book that this was a heart attack, so I used acupuncture according to what was written in the book and rushed him to the hospital immediately.”

“Nonsense.”

Xu Leshu, who was sitting nearby, was startled by Zhou Hao’s sudden loud yell.
