The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Lu Xiu reached out and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't blame you. Since this doctor has become a hermit, maybe he just doesn't like to interact with strangers."

The light in her eyes dimmed a little. She looked around and instantly had an idea in her mind.

The miracle doctor should come out to collect the herbs soon, so they just need to wait patiently.

"Ash, let's wait here for a while."

As soon as Lu Xiu sat down, the phone rang suddenly.

He pressed the connect button: "Jerry, what's up?"

Not knowing what the person on the other end of the phone said, Lu Xiu's brows gradually knitted together. After hanging up the phone, his expression was a little solemn.

"what happened?"

"The company's stock price has fluctuated significantly recently, and investors are not comfortable with remote cooperation." Lu Xiu was annoyed.

Although he was not in Country Z these days, he had been handling work online and had done everything he was supposed to do, but he still could not resist force majeure.

Ning Xi understood this very well. She knew that the projects Lu Xiu was working on were all important. "Then you should go back as soon as possible. I'll take care of Ruoxing."

"How about that?"

Lu Xiu decisively rejected the proposal. "This place is so remote, it's too unsafe for you to wait alone. If there's anything, let's talk about it after we get down the mountain."

Ning Xi knew that he was concerned about her, and a slightly moved expression appeared on her face.

Lu Xiu held her hand at the right time: "Don't worry, I'm with you."

The two waited from the afternoon until sunset. After several hours, they occasionally heard some noises in the house, but no one was seen.

Ning Xi stared at the door of the wooden house, but it didn't move at all.

She was unwilling to give up, so she went up and knocked again, her tone anxious and pleading: "Mr. Kongshan, can you please give me a chance to talk? My child really needs your help. As long as you are willing to help, any reward can be negotiated."

"If you don't see me, then I don't see you. Don't waste your energy on this."

After saying this, the man fell silent again.

Seeing that the last bit of sunset light was about to disappear, Lu Xiu reminded: "Xiao Shi, it's getting dark, we have to go."

There was no choice, Ning Xi took a deep look at the closed door and had to follow Lu Xiu and leave first.

I came all this way but didn't even get to see him once. It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed.

Ning Xi leaned against the car window along the way, wondering what she was thinking. Until she returned to the hospital and saw that Lu Ruoxing's data had stabilized, she rekindled her courage.

Her daughter needs her right now, she can't fall down.

Lu Xiu quickly replied to the text message, then came over and stroked the child's forehead: "The doctor said that it is very rare for Ruoxing to recover like this in such a short period of time. Xiaoshi, you have worked hard."

"As long as the child is safe and healthy, it's not hard work," Ning Xi turned her gaze from the child's peaceful sleeping face to Lu Xiu and helped him straighten his collar. "Just now in the car, I bought you a flight for tonight. Now I'm also at the hospital. There's something urgent at the company, so you should go back and deal with it first."

Ning Xi's thoughtfulness made Lu Xiu's brows relax. He leaned in and kissed her forehead, his tone as gentle as a spring breeze: "I'll be back soon."

That night, Lu Xiu packed his luggage and boarded the plane.

The next morning, after Ning Xi listened to the doctor's assessment of Lu Ruoxing's vital signs for the day, she first went to the Tribulus Clinic.

She told Dr. Lou about the rejection she had received yesterday and asked, "What should I do to impress him? Is there anything he likes?"

"I remember that he was a bit aloof. As for what he liked, the only thing he liked was studying medicine. He had very low requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation, otherwise he wouldn't have lived in seclusion." Doctor Lou pondered, "Well, tell me more about the child's condition. Doctors are kind-hearted. I don't believe that he won't have any reaction after listening to you."

He comforted her again: "Xiao Xi, don't be discouraged."

Ning Xi felt his concern, which was the love of an elder for a younger generation. But she still couldn't accept the title "Xiao Xi".

After all, she is not Ning Xi, why do you always mistake her for her?

Ning Xi didn't have time to care about this at the moment. When her eyes swept across the portrait on the wall, she paused subconsciously.

She couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Lou, whose portrait is that hanging on the wall?"

The other old doctors in the clinic don’t seem to look like this either.

Doctor Lou was a little surprised: "That's your grandpa! You don't even remember this?"

So that was Mr. Wen Zhanling?

Ning Xi searched hard in her mind for a while, but she really had no impression of it. She didn't know why, but this portrait gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity?

And as you look at it, you will feel very familiar with it.

Doctor Lou pulled her to recall the past, and Ning Xi quickly retracted her thoughts, "...I have to go first, Doctor Lou, thank you for telling me this."

"Hey, Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, I haven't finished yet!"

Doctor Lou waved to keep her, but Ning Xi had already gotten into the car.

She put all her chaotic thoughts behind her. After all, the most important thing now was Ruoxing's condition.

She didn't notice that there was another car behind her, slowly following the taxi she had called. Because they kept a proper distance, they were not noticed.

Inside the car, Gu Huaijing stared at the white vehicle not far away.

Hearing that Ning Xi was going to the mountains alone, he was really worried, so he rushed over -

Ning Xi came to No. 113 Guqing Town again based on her memory.

This time she arrived at the right time, and the door of the wooden house was just slightly open. Ning Xi hurried forward: "Hello!"

The people in the room heard the noise and quickly slammed the door shut.

After a while, a man's voice came: "Why are you here again?"

Ning Xi was not angry after being rejected, and continued to speak earnestly: "Mr. Kongshan, I really beg you to save my daughter. I am really sincere."

The man didn't expect her to be so stubborn. He sighed and said, "You should find someone else."

"You don't know my family's situation. My daughter was diagnosed with a serious heart defect and is still in the hospital. The doctor said that if we follow the traditional surgical method, the risk is very high..." Ning Xi thought of Dr. Lou's instructions and became more and more anxious. "She is not even six years old this year. If I hadn't found another way, I wouldn't have come to bother you."

The only response she got was silence.
