Chapter 124 Only a Tool

Song Shuang was sitting in the living room of Song's mansion.

Lin Fengya rubbed her temples gently with her fingers, "Your dad goes out quite often lately."

"Busy with business?"

Lin Fengya nodded, "Yeah."

Song Shuang put down the teacup, "Remind him to get some rest."

Lin Fengya put down her fingers and looked up at her son, "You don't understand what I mean?"

Her original intention was that Song Zhaoyang desperately needed someone to share his burden in Song Group.

She didn't trust any outsider and Song Shuang was the only son of the Song Family

After thinking about it, she found letting Song Shuang manage their business was the safest option.

Even if her son was smart enough to understand her meaning, he was unwilling to work for Song Group.

It really bothered her.

"The Second Hospital can't function without me."

Song Shuang said honestly.

Lin Fengya frowned, "There are so many new talents in the medical field. If you don't step back and make space for them, how do you know that the younger generation can't take the charge?"

Lin Fengya hoped that her son could work for Song Group.

However, her son was so focused on his medical career.

This divergence existed in the Song Family for a long time.

Lin Fengya could feel this deadlock wouldn't last long.

Her son needed to make a clear decision soon.

"Highly competent people can still surpass me without me stepping backward."

Song Shuang answered his mother's words effortlessly, "Those who need me to step backward better not work in this field."

Lin Fengya felt disappointed when she heard so, but she couldn't refute what he said.

He was right. The capable survived.

It didn't make any sense to ask the capable to step backward and to let the weak rise to the top.

"Although you make a good point, your dad won't give you much time, Shuang."

Lin Fengya's eyes became gentler, "You have to know that there're so many things that needed to be addressed. You'd better help your dad with them earlier."

"No need to rush."

Song Shuang didn't want to leave now.

Even though Lin Fengya tried to change his mind every time, it didn't work out.

She noticed that it was about noon, so she sighed and changed the topic, "Stay over for lunch. Your dad barely eats at home. Keep me company."

"Well."

Song Shuang planned to look for Gu Baisheng at the hospital.

But he decided to stay after his mother said so.

Lin Fengya mentioned the Xiao Family unintentionally over lunch.

"I heard that Xiao Chengye planned to let his son return home."

"Even if Xiao Rong returns to his home, he is merely a tool to keep Xiao You in check. Xiao Chengye doesn't really have the intention to cultivate him."

Although Song Shuang was not in the business field, he knew the schemes among the powerful families well.

Lin Fengya nodded, "Exactly. Xiao Chengye is so arrogant. Even if his daughter is capable, he doesn't have the intention to hand over their business to her. And the fire at the Institute revealed the peculation. Xiao Chengye started to suspect Xiao You. Therefore, he decided to take Xiao Rong home."

" ‘Use’ would be a more proper word."

Song Shuang sniffed at the cold kinship between Xiao Chengye and his son.

Lin Fengya lifted her eyes and looked at her son, "Xiao Chengye doesn't pay any attention to his son. Their kinship is just a joke."

"Yeah."

Song Shuang nodded.

Lin Fengya added, "Unlike our family, your dad always values your worth."

"I know."

Song Shuang was thinking about his family.

Both of his parents were from powerful families in Beicheng.

As the only son of the Song Family, he was the result of the combination of two powerful families.

And compared with the intermarriages between other powerful families, his parents' 30-year marriage was truly full of love and respect.

His mother deeply loved his father.

And his father cared for and respected his mother.

They had been regarded as a model couple for many years in Beicheng's upper society.

"The new year is approaching. We need to visit lots of people, so it's better if you can come back more often."

The upper class in Beicheng would visit each other more often during the new year. And Lin Fengya was used to it.

Song Shuang was under his parents' influence since childhood, so he was familiar with it too.

So he nodded, "Whenever I have time."

Lin Fengya smiled slightly.

But when she thought about her new daughter-in-law, she frowned, "Maybe don't take her with you?"

Song Shuang lifted his eyes and looked at his mother. He knew that she was talking about Bai Shengsheng.

"She is a member of our family."

"Your dad and I haven't accepted her yet."

"But I have."

Song Shuang had accepted Bai Shengsheng as his wife.

Even if Lin Fengya and Song Zhaoyang refused to accept her, he accepted her.

After hearing what Song Shuang said, Lin Fengya sighed softly, "Even if you accepted her, it's not good to get married when your wife just died this year. Don't involve her in those visits."

By saying so, Lin Fengya agreed with her son to view Bai Shengsheng as their family member.

But she didn't want to get Bai Shengsheng involved in their family visits.

Song Shuang knew that Bai Shengsheng was not fond of those visits, so he agreed.

Lin Fengya felt relieved.

Song Shuang suddenly received a phone call when they were about to finish their lunch.

It was from Yang Jing. He was quite serious and asked directly, "Dr. Song, I need to confirm something with you."

Song Shuang looked at his watch and it said it was around lunch time.

Yang Jing would avoid calling people at mealtimes. What happened this time?

"Go ahead."

Yang Jing had been struggling for the whole morning and wondering whether to ask this question or not.

Finally, he couldn't hold it back and asked, "Dr. Song, I want to know who the female doctor who filled in for me was that day."

Song Shuang's eyes became dimmer.

Lin Fengya noticed the change of her son, so she asked, "What happened?"

"It's about work. I need to go back now."

Song Shuang didn't want to talk about it with Yang Jing in front of his mother.

He stood up, picked up his jacket from the sofa and walked toward the door.

"Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

"Someone told me that the female doctor was Bai Shengsheng who worked as an intern in our hospital."

Yang Jing asked him, "Is that true, Dr. Song?"

If that female doctor was really Bai Shengsheng, it proved that he was no match for an intern after studying medicine and operating so many surgeries these years.

It really hurt his self-esteem.

Song Shuang thought about it as well, so he said, "Of course it's not true. Have you seen any intern who is able to operate such kind of surgery?"

"But she looks like Bai Shengsheng."

Yang Jing was still unsure about it.

Song Shuang replied calmly, "Don't overthink. She's indeed a doctor working at the Gui Town Hospital. If you don't trust me, I can help you to contact her."

After realizing how serious Song Shuang was, Yang Jing felt that there was no need for Song Shuang to lie to him, "I trust you, Dr. Song."

"Anything else?"

Song Shuang continued.

Yang Jing sighed, "No, thank you, Dr. Song."

"You're welcome." Although Song Shuang behaved so calmly, he still frowned a bit after hanging up the phone.

Why did Yang Jing suddenly ask this question?

Did anyone gossip with him?

...

Gu Baisheng saw Qu Xiaobo and Zhang Kai off.

Then she saw Hu Hui off after talking to her for a while.

She went to look for Zhang Tiantian after they all left.

Zhang Tiantian had been waiting outside the ward. She stood up in a hurry when she saw Gu Baisheng, "Miss Bai."

Gu Baisheng walked toward her and smiled, "Do you want to have a rest? I can keep an eye on Ye for you."

"No, thank you."

Zhang Tiantian didn't want to leave Ye even if she was exhausted.

Ye, who was lying inside this ward, was her only family member.

She wanted to wait for Ye to wake up and talk to her.

She wanted to tell him that everything was fine.

Ye hadn't woken up yet, so she didn't want to leave at all.

"You'll wear yourself out before Ye wakes up."

Gu Baisheng was a bit worried about her health.

Zhang Tiantian smiled and said, "Please don't worry. I'm strong enough to pull an all-nighter for three days in a row. Also, I just finished my breakfast and took a nap. Now I feel really energetic."

"Has the doctor checked on Ye yet?"

Gu Baisheng assumed that the doctor must've finished his ward rounds now.

Zhang Tiantian nodded, "Yes, he told me that Ye's situation is stable now. He probably will wake up tonight if there's no accident."

"Don't worry about it then."

Zhang Tiantian nodded, "I don't worry about anything as long as Ye is fine. I was scared to death when he was sent to the hospital. I was so worried that he might just leave me."

Zhang Tiantian had suffered a lot. Her parents had passed away and the only family member she had was her younger brother.

She cared so much about him.

Zhang Tiantian had been red since the accident happened to Ye yesterday. Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo saw it too.

It was so wonderful that Ye was fine.

"I visited Dr. Yang today, but he told me that he didn't operate Ye's surgery."

Zhang Tiantian was really grateful to Yang Jing because she thought he saved Ye's life.

When Yang Jing checked on Ye this morning, she thanked Yang Jing millions of times.

Yang Jing felt embarrassed after being thanked like this, so he told her the truth.

He said that he didn't operate Ye's surgery on his own.

There was a female doctor in addition to him.

Gu Baisheng didn't expect that Yang Jing would tell Zhang Tiantian the truth.

She asked, "Did he tell you who operated the surgery?"

"He said it was a female doctor from Gui Town who happened to be in Beicheng. She flew back to Gui Town after helping with the surgery yesterday. I didn't manage to find out her name. I will visit and thank her for saving my brother's life even I know her name."

Zhang Tiantian said sincerely.

Gu Baisheng felt touched by Zhang Tiantian's words.

"She's happy when she knows that your brother is fine. You don't need to thank her in person."

"But I still want to see her." Zhang Tiantian still cared about it.

At this moment, a voice came in a distance.

"Isn't the female doctor you want to see right in front of you?"
