Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1453 Contempt

Mr. Qiao's voice became weak and feeble: "Get up."

Qiao Rulong stood up and found that his grandfather was not looking at him, but staring out the window.

"grandfather……"

"Let's go, this matter is none of your business."

Qiao Rulong pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa, I think you are the best..."

"You don't need to teach me what to do!" Old Qiao's voice was extremely cold.

Qiao Rulong nodded, knowing that if he spoke any more it would probably provoke even greater anger from his grandfather.

When Qiao Rulong left, he met his uncle Qiao Yuanjiang. The relationship between the two had not been harmonious in recent years. When they met, they would just say hello at most and rarely have a deep conversation.

Qiao Yuanjiang has not left the capital since he came there before the holiday. It's not that he doesn't want to leave, but his father didn't let him go. He announced to the public that his father was in poor health and he had to stay in the capital to take care of him. Although he still has a position in the Pinghai CPPCC, he doesn't have any actual work, so it doesn't make any difference whether he goes or not.

"Rulong is here!" Qiao Yuanjiang took the initiative to greet Qiao Rulong.

Qiao Rulong nodded: "Hello, uncle."

Qiao Yuanjiang thought to himself, "Don't you know whether I am good or not?" With a smile on his face, he asked, "What does Grandpa want to talk to you about?"

Qiao Rulong knew that he wanted to find out the content of the conversation between him and his grandfather. Qiao Rulong looked down on this uncle from the bottom of his heart. His grandfather provided him with such good resources and opportunities, but he didn't know how to use them. He was simply a hopeless person. When the Qiao family encountered trouble, it was good enough that he didn't make things worse. Especially not long ago, he actually helped the Wang family to propose marriage and suggested that his sister Mei Ruxue marry Wang Jiancheng, who was not even considered a man due to a car accident.

From that incident on, Grandpa was completely disappointed with Qiao Yuanjiang. Although Qiao Rulong was not clear about the inside story, he could vaguely guess that the Wang family must have something on his uncle.

The Wang family, the Ye family, and the Qiao family are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface. Even though the three old men were once comrades in the same trench, they each have their own family and interests, and it is impossible for them to maintain consistency on all issues.

Qiao Rulong replied perfunctorily: "Nothing, I came here specially to visit Grandpa."

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "No wonder the old man often praises you for being filial."

Qiao Rulong said: "Grandpa often praises you."

Qiao Yuanjiang felt like he was stabbed in the heart by his nephew. It seemed that his father had never praised him for being filial. In his eyes, he was mediocre and could never be as good as his second son Qiao Yuanshan who had disappeared from the face of the earth.

When the third generation grew up, the old man placed his hopes on them. As the eldest son, his presence in the Qiao family was very weak, and Qiao Yuanjiang spent most of his life in inferiority.

Qiao Yuanjiang sighed and shook his head: "Don't follow my example and disappoint him."

Qiao Rulong said: "I have already disappointed him."

The two of them instantly felt a sense of sympathy for each other. They had different paths but ended up in the same place, and in the end, both were completely abandoned by the old man.

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "I have heard something about Xu Chunliang."

Qiao Rulong looked at his uncle in surprise. He didn't expect that he was so well-informed.

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "You don't have to be surprised. Someone is probably spreading news about this, saying that you helped Xu Chunliang get a doctor's license."

Of course Qiao Rulong would not admit it: "This is simply nonsense. Why should I help him?"

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "There is no best. The current Ye family is no longer what it used to be. Have you heard that Ye Changquan has been transferred from Neon to East Myanmar?"

Qiao Yuanjiang made no secret of his gloating. Among the second generations of the Qiao, Wang and Ye families, no one performed better within the system. As the saying goes, I can be mediocre, but you can't be better than me.

Qiao Rulong said: "We don't care about other people's affairs."

Qiao Yuanjiang lowered his voice and said, "I think so too, but your grandfather and Mr. Ye are like brothers, and I'm afraid he can't stand it."

Qiao Rulong became alert. It was clear that his uncle was trying to trick him. He smiled calmly and said, "I don't know what Grandpa thinks. Uncle, why don't you go and ask him what he thinks?"

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "He is prejudiced against me."

Qiao Rulong said: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Qiao Yuanjiang stopped him and said, "Don't worry, you haven't told me yet, is Xu Chunliang's medical license real or fake?"

Qiao Rulong said unhappily, "How should I know? As far as I know, it was Li Kaiqiang who helped him get the medical license, and the relevant departments are investigating now."

Qiao Yuanjiang asked, "Lin Sijin was investigated because of this incident, right?"

Qiao Rulong shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Qiao Rulong had just left when Wang Zhengdao came to Qiao's house.

Qiao Yuanjiang never expected that he would come to visit. He was afraid of Wang Zhengdao from the bottom of his heart, so he welcomed Wang Zhengdao in with a smile.

Wang Zhengdao was polite on the surface: "Brother Yuanjiang, is Uncle Qiao here?" Qiao Yuanjiang nodded: "He should still be on lunch break at this time, I'll go call him."

Wang Zhengdao raised his wrist and checked the time: "It's okay, I'll bother him later."

Qiao Yuanjiang understood that Wang Zhengdao wanted to talk to him, and couldn't help but feel a headache. He remembered that when they were little, he always followed him and called him "big brother", but now this guy has grown up and no longer has the slightest respect for him. Thinking of the time when he threatened him and asked him to persuade the Qiao family to marry Mei Ruxue to his disabled son, Qiao Yuanjiang felt so angry that his teeth itched. It was simply too much.

Qiao Yuanjiang asked the nanny to make tea. Wang Zhengdao sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone without even looking at Qiao Yuanjiang.

Qiao Yuanjiang finally couldn't help but asked, "Zhengdao, do you have something to do with my dad?"

Wang Zhengdao nodded, his eyes still on the phone screen: "My dad asked me to come visit Uncle Qiao. Uncle Ye's death was a big blow to them."

"That's right, my dad hasn't been out these days."

Wang Zhengdao sighed and said, "The feelings of the older generation are still sincere, unlike us."

Qiao Yuanjiang forced a smile and said, "Our generation is not bad either."

Wang Zhengdao finally looked away from his phone and stared into Qiao Yuanjiang's eyes: "Not bad? Yeah, it's really good."

Qiao Yuanjiang's smile became more and more awkward. At this moment, he felt that it would be better for Wang Zhengdao not to look at him.

Wang Zhengdao put away his phone and said, "Brother Yuanjiang, you haven't returned to Pinghai yet?"

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "No, there is no practical work anyway. Besides, my father has been in poor health recently, so I will stay for a while to take care of him."

"Uncle Qiao didn't let you go, did he?"

Qiao Yuanjiang shook his head: "No."

“Haha!” Wang Zhengdao laughed. “Others may not know this, but I know that Uncle Qiao likes distant mountains the most.”

Qiao Yuanjiang smiled bitterly. Do I have to say it? You, Wang Zhengdao, came here today just to make trouble for me?

Wang Zhengdao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "There have been a lot of rumors recently, some of which are related to your Qiao family. Have you heard about them?"

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "I have been working outside for many years. I don't have many friends in Beijing. Even if I want to listen, I have no channels."

Wang Zhengdao nodded: "So I advise you to go out more and mix with the gang. Even if it doesn't broaden your horizons, at least you will be well-informed. Don't shut yourself off. There's a lot of news going on outside, but you still don't know anything."

Qiao Yuanjiang cursed in his heart, "You're teaching me a lesson again. Did you forget when you were chasing me and calling me brother in your open-crotch pants?" He knew what Wang Zhengdao was talking about, but still pretended to be confused: "What is it?"

"It seems that you really don't know that after Uncle Ye passed away, some things happened to the Ye family. The timing of these things was very coincidental. The outside world is rumored to have something to do with your Qiao family."

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "What nonsense! What is the relationship between our two families? How could we possibly attack the Ye family?"

Wang Zhengdao smiled and said, "Don't get excited, you don't even know what happened." He talked about everything from Ye Changquan's transfer to Xu Chunliang's investigation into his medical license.

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Changquan's affairs have nothing to do with our family. My father helped him transfer to Neon. As for Xu Chunliang, he is not a member of the Ye family. His affairs have nothing to do with the Ye family."

Wang Zhengdao shook his head: "That's wrong. Xu Chunliang is Uncle Ye's publicly recognized grandson, and Lin Sijin is his godmother. Can you say that he has no relationship with the Ye family? What's more, this incident implicates Lin Sijin."

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "As far as I know, it was Lin Sijin's nephew who made a mistake and caused so many things, right?"

"So you knew it. Why were you pretending in front of me just now?" The smile on Wang Zhengdao's face suddenly disappeared.

Qiao Yuanjiang was frightened by his cold gaze and subconsciously lowered his head to avoid it: "I didn't know you were talking about the same thing."

Wang Zhengdao had no intention of letting Qiao Yuanjiang go. "We, the Wang family, cannot sit idly by and watch the affairs of the Ye family. My father asked me to discuss this with Uncle Qiao. Uncle Qiao would definitely not do such a thing, but I don't know if there is any unfilial descendant of your Qiao family who would do such a thing."

Qiao Yuanjiang couldn't bear it any longer: "Zhengdao, what do you mean by that? Do you think I would do that?"

Wang Zhengdao laughed and said, "Even if you want to, you don't have the ability."

Qiao Yuanjiang's face flushed red, and he wanted to pick up a cup of tea and splash it on Wang Zhengdao's face, but he didn't dare to: "Wang Zhengdao, don't go too far."

Wang Zhengdao reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Yuanjiang, don't be angry. You're already a retired person, why are you still so angry? I'm also upset for Ye Jiaming. I've already found out that it was Qiao Rulong who took the initiative to help Xu Chunliang get his medical license. I have both witnesses and physical evidence for this matter."

Qiao Yuanjiang pursed his lips: "Is that true?"

Wang Zhengdao nodded: "Xu Chunliang has helped Qiao Rulong many times, and Ye Qingya and Qiao Rulong were once married. I think Qiao Rulong's headquarters should repay kindness with enmity."

Qiao Yuanjiang said: "These things may not be done by Rulong, and they are of no benefit to him."

Wang Zhengdao raised his wrist to check the time and said, "Talking to you won't solve the problem. It's almost time. I'd better meet Uncle Qiao."
