I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 249: Chapter 248: Apology

Beisitian still visits Yu Shufang every morning. Her talismanic water is very effective, and the tumor is rapidly shrinking, but the side effects are also quite noticeable.

Yu Shufang often feels restless and anxious for no reason, breaking into a sweat whenever she feels uneasy. She frequently has trouble sleeping at night, and when she finally does, she dreams continuously.

This has completely ruined Yu Shufang’s initially good mood.

Her son finally came back from out of town these past two days. He is twenty-one years old this year and is soon facing the challenge of finding a job, which is one reason why Yu Shufang is afraid of spreading bad rumors.

What kind of company is willing to hire someone whose mother is seen as having mental problems and a bad reputation?

”Alright, you’re back, so I can go back to work.” Ma Xiuli said.

Due to Yu Shufang being alone, Ma Xiuli has been taking leave to take care of her in these days. Now that her son is back, she can finally leave.

”Thank you, Sister Xiuli! I really owe you; if it weren’t for you, my mom alone would’ve been...” Ren Hongliang said guiltily and sadly.

He was out of town, his mother fell ill and had no one to take care of her, just thinking about it made him feel distressed, not to mention that something almost happened this time!

Ma Xiuli called Yu Shufang ’sister’ as a formal title, actually she wasn’t much older than Ren Hongliang, so he called Ma Xiuli ’sister’.

”Don’t thank me; I was just helping out. You should thank Doctor Xiao Bei; if it weren’t for her, your mother would indeed be in danger,” Ma Xiuli laughed.

She had already explained the situation in detail to Ren Hongliang.

Ren Hongliang nodded solemnly, ”Once my mom gets better, I will definitely thank her properly!”

Ren Hongliang had a close-cropped haircut, big eyes, thick eyebrows, wasn’t tall, just over one-seventy in height, wasn’t very sturdy, but had expressive eyes and a quick mind; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten into college.

Ma Xiuli waved her hand, signaling Ren Hongliang not to see her off, and headed downstairs.

This was the fifth day already, Yu Shufang hadn’t experienced any bleeding or severe abdominal pain, just daily irritability, and none of the calming medicines bought outside worked.

Ma Xiuli shook her head; Beisitian surely disliked her. Not to mention anything else, just the nickname was enough to make her hate her. This was her fault, being unfamiliar with someone and casually making up a nickname, knowing well enough how those two gossips were, yet letting those mouths spread it around, being ashamed was only natural.

If it wasn’t for seeking Beisitian’s help in adjusting Yu Shufang, things wouldn’t be so frustrating daily, not even able to rest well.

Although Ma Xiuli had an impulsive personality, she was also someone who follows through with her words. Since she said she would apologize to Beisitian in front of everyone, she wouldn’t renege on her promise.

Therefore, when taking a break at noon and seeing all the doctors except those on leave in the office, she went to the front, cleared her throat.

”I want to clarify something in front of everyone.” Ma Xiuli said loudly.

Seeing everyone’s attention drawn to her, she continued, ”Today, in front of everyone, I want to apologize to Doctor Xiao Bei; previously I not only misunderstood her but also made rash remarks. Doctor Xiao Bei not only didn’t hold it against me but generously helped in treating Yu Shufang. If it weren’t for Doctor Xiao Bei, Yu Shufang would indeed be in danger! Doctor Xiao Bei, I solemnly apologize for my previous actions and also want to say thank you!”

Ma Xiuli bent over at a ninety-degree angle and solemnly bowed.

Beisitian heard the sincerity and genuine apology in Ma Xiuli’s speech, a hint of a smile appeared on her brow.

”I didn’t expect you to really follow through with your words; let’s not bring up past events.” Beisitian smiled gently, considered to have accepted her apology.

Ma Xiuli straightened up, a smile appeared on her face; indeed, Beisitian was like Brother Shen said, a straightforward girl who talks straight, not fussy at all!

This personality really suited her taste.

”Okay!” Shen Junping noticed the silence in the office, knowing some people hadn’t realized yet, took the lead to clap, breaking the atmosphere of silence.

Tian Lei followed with applause, then Qi Xiu Hui joined in, and surprisingly, Luo Jiali also began clapping.

Looking at Ma Xiuli, Luo Jiali couldn’t help but smile; she liked this kind of bold, straightforward character.

Ding Sisi saw Luo Jiali applauding, immediately frowned, ”Jiali, why are you also...”

Seemingly ignoring Ding Sisi’s dissatisfaction, Luo Jiali continued clapping.

Ding Sisi glared at her angrily.

Zhang Meili and Zhang Hui Ping exchanged glances, neither following along, but noticed the surprise in each other’s eyes.

That formidable girl Ma Xiuli actually apologized to Beisitian?

While pondering, Ma Xiuli’s voice came again, ”I know some are curious about the details; all I can say is I was shortsighted, unaware of better people, and regarding the ’Little Chinese Doctor’ nickname, I can only apologize to Doctor Xiao Bei again, it was my lack of experience and calmness, establishing my happiness on others’ pain.”

Ma Xiuli was more serious this time, never has she self-reflected like this.

Shen Junping looked at Ma Xiuli on the stage, his eyes were shining; at this moment, Ma Xiuli was very attractive.

”Additionally, I know some are curious about Yu Shufang’s illness, caring for Yu Shufang is good, if anyone wants to know, they can privately come to me, and I’ll inform them!” Ma Xiuli said, her gaze swiftly sweeping over Zhang Meili and Zhang Hui Ping.

As for whether she would really inform them, even a toe can guess, it’s totally impossible.

Zhang Meili and Zhang Hui Ping’s eyes shifted to other places, pretending not to notice Ma Xiuli was referring to them, but they dismissed any thought of further inquiry.

Ding Sisi secretly gritted her teeth, originally Beisitian was close to self-destructing, yet somehow the situation changed.

Now Beisitian transformed from the least likely to stay into the most likely person to remain!

If there’s a vote, she definitely would stay, fortunately in today’s society, connections matter!

Yu Shufang still hasn’t shown up, she must visit the hospital for another checkup in two days to see if the tumor has indeed shrunk. If the results are achieved, it can only be said that Beisitian is truly skillful!

Tian Lei watched as Beisitian effortlessly turned her disadvantage in the medical team around, his lips curled into a smile.

This smile carried a trace of affection, seen by Ding Sisi, fueling her anger; she felt boys who should like her not only liked another woman but even threatened her because of that woman, just thinking about it was infuriating!

Though she didn’t dare voice it, if someone accidentally saw it, it had nothing to do with her!
