Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 187: Doctor Xu’s Partner Is Too Handsome
Meng Yibing and Jiang Chengxu chatted for a while and quickly became good buddies. They agreed to hang out whenever possible. For him, getting to know a knowledgeable young man from the Shangjiang Team was highly beneficial.
He had asked Lin Yufei several times to take him to the Shangjiang Team, but was always refused.
In the future, he could go find Jiang Chengxu, and maybe he’d run into Xu Qinghuan.
Before long, Jiang Xingye and Lin Yufei entered one after the other. Lin Yufei returned to his seat, and Jiang Xingye brought two lunch boxes with meals. One contained rice, stewed pork, and stir-fried shredded pork with bell peppers.
The other contained half a pound of big meat buns.
Dai Yifeng called out to him, "Brother Ye, come sit here!"
With Xu Qinghuan cooking, Jiang Xingye would come over here for dinner every night. After dining together for so long, they had grown quite close.
Jiang Xingye came over, and Qiao Xinyu asked him, "Why isn’t Huanhuan coming to eat? Do you have to buy food and bring it to her? What’s keeping her so busy that she can’t even have a meal?"
"She’s busy."
Jiang Xingye briefly explained, "Have you guys wrapped up your business? I’ll head over to deliver her meal and come back. I need to return to the village."
He would rush over again in the evening. After the previous incident, he couldn’t rest easy leaving Xu Qinghuan to spend the night outside alone. He planned to take her back the next morning.
Leaving early, Qiao Xinyu and the others had no objections.
After Jiang Xingye left, Xu Manman complained, "We agreed to leave at four in the afternoon. Why are we going back so early now? Why does everyone have to listen to him?"
Jiang Chengxu teasingly commented, "He doesn’t have a watch, so he probably doesn’t know when four o’clock is."
He wore a Shanghai men’s watch on his wrist, the previous one having been taken by Xu Qinghuan.
Fearing that Meng Yibing didn’t understand, Jiang Chengxu introduced, "The guy who was here and left earlier is one of our team’s members, Jiang Xingye. He’s engaged to Comrade Xu."
Meng Yibing asked Xu Manman, "Ah, really?"
Xu Manman knew he misunderstood, "Not with me, it’s my sister Xu Qinghuan who’s engaged to him."
For a moment, Meng Yibing looked as if he regretted missing out on a fortune. He thought, if Xu Qinghuan’s standards were so low, he might have had a chance too!
Lin Yufei had heard about Xu Qinghuan’s engagement because his sister specifically called to ask, and his father had also instructed him to keep an eye on Xu Qinghuan.
Listening to their low regard for Jiang Xingye, he remarked, "The elders on Xu Qinghuan’s side are very supportive."
Xu Hongtu chimed in, "Support from whom? Her mom or my dad?"
Lin Yufei, wanting to avoid conflict, said nothing further, excused himself, and left.
Only then did Meng Yibing pat Jiang Chengxu on the shoulder and lean in, "Brother, can you do me a favor!"
"What kind of favor? Although we’re strangers, we hit it off immediately. Whatever you need, just say the word, and I’ll go through fire and water for you."
Jiang Chengxu knew what favor Meng Yibing was seeking and found his words heartfelt and moving. Feeling a bit shy to ask initially, Meng Yibing stood up, pulled him aside, "Come on, let’s talk outside!"
Jiang Xingye handed the lunch box to a young nurse waiting outside the operating room, "I’m Jiang Xingye, Xu Qinghuan, Doctor Xu’s fiancé. Could you please keep this for me, and give it to her when she comes out? If it’s cold, remind her to heat it before eating, and tell her not to eat anything cold."
The young nurse, suddenly addressed by such a handsome man, felt her heart pounding and her cheeks blushing, unsure of how to react.
Seeing the nurse looking a bit out of it, Jiang Xingye was displeased, "Comrade, did you hear me? If it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll find someone else."
Xu Qinghuan was quite famous at the county hospital, not just because of her medical skills, but because last time, she unexpectedly sent their department’s malicious director to the police station.
Which young girl or boy hadn’t been bullied by Xie Qunfang? Who among them wasn’t grateful to Xu Qinghuan?
"I heard, I heard. I just need to give this to Doctor Xu after surgery and remind her not to eat cold food." She quickly said, "Comrade Jiang, don’t worry. I’ll go and keep it warm with hot water to make sure it doesn’t get cold."
Then she ran off with a patter of footsteps, arriving back in the department where Zhou Bingyan exclaimed, "Oh my god, today I saw a really handsome guy, Doctor Xu’s fiancé. When he talked to me, my mind just blanked out."
"How handsome?" another young nurse asked.
"Quite handsome. I heard last time that Doctor Xu’s fiancé is even better looking than TV or movie stars. I was on the night shift that day and missed it."
She quickly ran out to see, and the nurses in the department, whether busy or not, all found excuses to rush outside. At the door, they saw a man carrying a lunch box, walking toward them. He was tall and slender, with a sternly handsome face and dark, intense eyes that seemed able to captivate anyone, making them lose themselves in his gaze.
Several young girls were inwardly screaming. Seeing him look their way, the reserved girls of this era quickly ducked back inside.
"He’s really handsome. If he acted on TV, I’d watch day and night, every day, watching it over and over."
"If my boyfriend were even a tenth as good-looking, I wouldn’t say a thing," one young nurse pouted, seeing someone else’s partner so attractive, feeling a sense of injustice.
"What’s the use of good looks? I heard this guy is a production team member, not with an urban household registration. Doctor Xu will eventually return to work in the city. Who knows if this engagement will hold up?"
A discordant voice arose, causing Zhou Bingyan and the others to fall silent, each focusing on their work.
Walking nearby, Jiang Xingye paused for a moment, glanced into the department, and then headed downstairs.
Xu Qinghuan had already prepared an ointment before starting the surgery. She first felt the patient’s hip bone with her hand, forming a rough idea in her mind, then picked up the scalpel.
The condition of the bone was about as she expected, which reassured Xu Qinghuan. She performed the surgery quickly, even faster than Song Yanqing had anticipated, but knowing she would review it thoroughly later, he concentrated on assisting.
After clearing out the fractured bones inside, Xu Qinghuan used a peculiar tool to apply a small amount of ointment to bond the fragments together.
This left Song Yanqing astonished, as it was a treatment method he had never encountered before.
But this was no time for curiosity.
Xu Qinghuan seemed very familiar with the bone structure. She didn’t miss a single fragment as small as a grain of rice, and finally, if one ignored the temporary gaps, the person’s hip bone appeared intact.
The surgery took about eight hours. After the final suturing, Xu Qinghuan was somewhat exhausted and slowly stepped down from the operating table, leaning against the wall for support.
The rest of the team methodically carried out post-operative procedures. Deng Aiguo looked at Song Yanqing with a questioning glance, and the latter nodded, his eyes still showing a trace of shock.
"Doctor Xu, you’re tired, right? Go eat something and rest a bit," Song Yanqing suggested.
Outside, darkness had fallen.
Xu Qinghuan nodded, straightened up, and upon seeing the director, said, "The surgery was very successful. If there are no post-surgery complications, there shouldn’t be any impact on movement."
"No impact on walking?" Deng Aiguo found this prognosis hard to believe. After all, the injured person was not young, nearly sixty years old, with poor bone quality. Moreover, the hip was broken and there were comminuted fractures.
