Chapter 746: Something Was Not Right
Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
Yao Ran could only nod and go to the hospital with Qin Man.
It was a private hospital sponsored by the Meng family, and it was renowned in Beijing for its specialty in treating bone-related diseases.
When Meng Lingwas young, she had fallen off a swing and had broken her wrist.
Apart from that, she also suffered other minor injuries from the fall.
Since then, her entire family elected to move to the capital to get her treated. At some point, they found this hospital and decided to invest in it. They also hired a host of experts to research and develop new medicines that could cure Meng Ling.
A familiar person greeted Yao RanandQin Manin the lobby.
Yao Ran remembered her to beAunt Liu. She wasMeng Ling’s aunt, and used to be in charge of their clan’s business. After her niece’s injury, however, she moved to Beijing as well.
Aunt Liu had a wide smile on her face as she approached them.
“You’re finally here, Miss Yao! Our Young Miss and Madam have been looking forward to your arrival. They were overjoyed to hear that you have finally come.”
After saying that, she surreptitiously glanced at Yao Ran’s leg.
“Thank you, Aunt Liu,”Yao Ranbeamed. “Is SisterMeng Lingstill confined to a ward? Let’s head over there right away.”
As for Qin Man, she only rolled her eyes and said nothing.
She took offense at the fact that it wasn’t the Madam of the Meng Familyherself who had come to welcome them.
“I shall lead you there. Please follow me. The Madam has been waiting since this morning!”
They followed Aunt Liuinto the elevator, then down the hall to a special ward.
It was very quiet and peaceful, without the hustle and bustle that was commonly seen in most hospitals.
There was only one room at the end of the hallway. It wouldn’t take a genius to guess that this was a VIP ward.
“The Madam is waiting inside. Make yourselves comfortable and catch up with each other. A doctor will be coming over later to check Miss Yao’s condition.”
Aunt Liu stood by the door and ushered them in.
She was being particularly courteous toward Yao RanandQin Man.
As if on cue, they heard Madam Meng’s voice coming from inside the ward. “Oh, Lingling, hurry and sit up! Our distinguished guests are here. We should welcome them properly.”
Sure enough, they were greeted by the sight of Madam Meng gingerly helping Meng Lingup on the hospital bed.
“There’s no need for that,” Qin Mancalled out cheerfully.
Yao Ran, on the other hand, began to sense that something wasn’t right.
Although they were neighbors, the two families had never been close to each other.
Why were they acting so chummy all of a sudden?
Besides, it was Yao RanandQin Manwho needed something from theMeng family.Qin Manhad dragged her all the way here to borrow theMeng family’s health facilities and have their experts look at her injured ankle.
So why were Madam MengandAunt Liubeing too polite?
But before she could ponder it any further, Yao Ranwas pulled by her mother into the ward.
The room was certainly luxurious. It included a living room, a small kitchen, and even a play area in the corner.
It was practically a house on its own.
They walked toward the bed. The sheets were pink, as if they didn’t belong to the hospital at all.
The patient lying on it wore a blue hospital gown. There was no color on her face, and she looked rather small and frail.
Madam Meng stepped forward and tookQin Man’s hand. “How have you been doing these days? I apologize for not receiving you earlier. As you can see, I’m too busy with my daughter’s affairs. Well, sit down, please. Tell me, have you gotten used to Beijing yet?”
“We’re doing quite well. We are just worried about Ranran’s ankle.”
Qin Man looked down atYao Ran’s feet as she said this, her brows furrowed in fake concern.
She didn’t exactly know much about the Meng family’s medical team and how much they had achieved with their research so far.
“Don’t worry,” Madam Mengsaid, her smile deepening. “Given the good relationship between our families, we are more than willing to shareLingling’s treatment withYao Ran.”
Meng Ling smiled atYao Ranas well, and reflexively placed her wrist on the support bar by the bed.
Her veins were visible through the pale skin of her arm.
“The experts we hired have been studying the field for many years. When Meng Lingwas injured, we didn’t hesitate to buy this hospital and arrange for the medical research to be carried out. We make sure that our teams are well-compensated, and in return, they do their best to deliver the best results.”
Madam Meng turned toYao Ranand smiled. “You are very lucky. After ten years, the research team has finally developed a method to treat injuries from the root. They have already performed surgery onLingling, and she is recovering pretty well. At this rate, they might be able to find a cure for my heart disease, too.”
