Chapter 152: Cruise Party
Old Mrs. Meng finished speaking and left Jingya.
Sui Qingshan watched her leave.
With the end of this farce, the crowd in the hospital corridor who had been watching the excitement dispersed all at once.
Sui Qingshan had his hands in his white coat pockets, standing in place for a moment before going to knock on Xie He’s hospital room door.
“Auntie Xie, open the door, it’s Qingshan.”
Only after hearing Sui Qingshan’s voice did Old Mrs. Xie open the door.
The children inside then scattered back to their own hospital rooms.
Old Mrs. Xie smiled somewhat awkwardly, bent down to apologize to Sui Qingshan: “Sorry, Doctor Sui, I didn’t mean to, I was just anxious to protect my granddaughter and didn’t think too much, causing trouble for your hospital, I’m really sorry.”
Sui Qingshan’s clearly articulated hand held Old Mrs. Xie’s hand, stopping her from bowing and nodding, his brows and eyes helpless: “Auntie Xie, you don’t need to do this, this matter isn’t your fault, it was the hospital’s negligence that caused you to be frightened.”
After Sui Qingshan finished speaking, he bent down to touch Xie He’s hat and smiled: “Were you scared? It’s okay now, they’ve all left.”
Xie He stared blankly at the gentle Sui Qingshan, somewhat uncomfortably turning her head away, not wanting Sui Qingshan to touch her bald head: “I’m fine, thank you, Doctor Sui.”
Sui Qingshan straightened up and gave a few more instructions to Old Mrs. Xie.
Nothing more than after New Year, Xie He could undergo the transplant.
Old Mrs. Xie thanked Sui Qingshan tearfully with gratitude.
This was all thanks to him observing Xie He’s condition and finding her a matching bone marrow; for every chemotherapy session of Xie He’s, Sui Qingshan was 100% dedicated.
Old Mrs. Xie had never seen a doctor more responsible than Sui Qingshan.
A nurse came to call Sui Qingshan, as a patient in another hospital room had developed a new symptom and needed him to handle it.
Sui Qingshan responded, instructed Xie He to rest well, and then left.
Xie He watched his back view until Old Mrs. Xie called her back to her senses, and she dazedly looked at her grandmother.
Hesitating, she spoke: “Grandma, is that lady really my maternal grandmother? She looks so young.”
Old Mrs. Xie’s expression was somewhat complex.
She lovingly touched Xie He’s little face: “Xiao He, no, you don’t have a maternal grandmother, nor maternal grandparents’ home, your mother… we are your only loved ones.”
Xie He nodded as if she understood but not fully.
She touched her belly: “Grandma, I’m hungry.”
Old Mrs. Xie told her to lie on the bed, and she would go to the hospital canteen to buy food.
Xie He obediently sat on the bed.
After Old Mrs. Xie left, she took out her mobile phone, between Brother and Sister Ning.
She hesitated for a moment, then first called Jiang Ning.
When Jiang Ning received Xie He’s call, she had just returned to the villa.
Standing at the entrance of White Manor, she answered the call.
“Hello.”
Hearing Jiang Ning’s familiar voice, Xie He immediately became cheerful: “Sister Ning! When are you coming to see me?”
Jiang Ning didn’t hurry inside.
She pondered for a few seconds before smiling: “How about I go to Capital City to play with you next winter vacation?”
Xie He’s unhappy voice came through: “Ah? Do I have to wait so long to see you? Sister Ning, is the wig ready? Is it rose red?”
Jiang Ning burst out laughing: “You like rose red?”
Xie He hummed and hawed: “Yeah, I want it to match the Strawberry Bear.”
“No, it’s black. Xiao He, you’ll look very pretty wearing a black wig.”
Hearing Jiang Ning’s praise, Xie He’s little depression immediately vanished, and her laughter came through the receiver: “Sister Ning, next time you come see me, bring the wig too, Doctor Sui said I can have surgery after New Year, I want to wear the wig you give me until my new hair grows out, oh right, I want it long.”
Jiang Ning listened to her childlike words, her voice so full of vitality, and smilingly agreed: “Okay, be good and take your medicine in the hospital.”
“Yeah.” Xie He responded.
Although those medicines would make her vomit nonstop, lose her appetite, and in severe cases might even cause her to spit blood, as long as Xie He thought that she could recover and openly go find Jiang Ning, and have many friends, she would be overjoyed.
She said softly: “Hanging up now.”
Xie He hung up the call and ultimately didn’t tell Xie Jingyan about seeing the “maternal grandmother.”
Grandma had said no, so it was very likely that the lady had mistaken her; Xie He didn’t worry about this matter for long.
……
Jiang Ning looked at the hung-up call, thinking that the wig she custom-ordered online should be ready.
When she gave Xie He that little bear, she had asked Xie He if there was any gift she wanted, and she would bring it next time she came to see her.
Xie He was shy at first and wouldn’t say, but under Jiang Ning’s encouragement, she whispered that she wanted a wig, because her bald head looked no good at all.
Jiang Ning actually thought the bald head was pretty cool.
But since Xie He wanted it, Jiang Ning agreed.
Next time they met, she would give her the wig.
The mobile phone rang, pulling her back to her senses.
Seeing the caller, she answered: “Tangtang, what’s up?”
Sui Tang’s side was noisy, with music and voices mixed together.
Jiang Ning frowned and asked: “Tangtang, where are you? Why is it so noisy around you?”
Sui Tang seemed to have found a quiet place, but the deafening music was still faintly audible.
Her voice carried a smile: “Cousin, do you want to come to the party? Jin He and I are both here.”
“Party?” Jiang Ning repeated: “What party?”
“It’s a concert on a cruise ship. Do you remember josen from that concert we watched last time? He’s here now, and quite a few young ladies and young masters from Capital City have come too, it’s really lively. I just remembered to call you after I got here, it’s not too late for you to rush over, the cruise hasn’t set off yet.”
Jiang Ning’s brows furrowed deeper, her voice already displeased: “Did Shen Jinhe bring you there?”
“No, no, I received josen’s invitation and wanted to come myself. Jin He knew I was coming alone and tried to dissuade me, saying the sea isn’t safe, but I thought how could it not be safe? I’ve been on this cruise with Dad and Mom before, it’s near Jin Cheng. I insisted on coming, so Jin He said she’d come with me.”
As her words fell, the sound of a ship’s horn “wooo” came through the receiver.
“Ah, why did it set off already? Anyway, Cousin, I’ll call you next time.”
Seeing this, Jiang Ning could only say: “Then be careful and safe, you have school tomorrow, come back paying attention to the time.”
Sui Tang repeatedly agreed: “Got it, this ship will dock tonight, gotta go, I’m off to have fun.”
Jiang Ning looked at the hung-up call and wasn’t too worried.
Because Shen Jinhe was there.
With her there, the sweet and naive Sui Tang shouldn’t get into trouble.
Meng Xingcan rushed out of the manor like a little firecracker.
“Sister Ning Ning! Why are you only back now? I’ve been waiting for you so long.”

By the way, does anyone like Xiao He? If she goes offline, will you send me razor blades?
