"Who are you looking for?"
The nurse, who had just finished changing the patient's medicine in the ward, saw Lu Chen standing at the door and asked curiously.
This handsome guy was very stylish!
He was tall and straight like a model, and the sunglasses on his face couldn't hide his handsomeness. The sight of him holding flowers made the little nurse's heart palpitate, and some scenes from idol dramas appeared in her mind.
Lu Chen smiled at her and said, "I'm here to see Teacher Ye."
His voice was neither soft nor loud, but everyone in the ward heard it clearly. The men and women who were fighting around the bed couldn't help but turn their heads and look. Finally, they stopped making noise.
Even Teacher Ye Xiaolian, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes.
Lu Chen took off his sunglasses and walked straight over.
He was 1.80 meters tall and very handsome. Coupled with his strong aura, the two middle-aged men in front of him couldn't help but move away.
The little nurse holding the medical record suddenly widened her eyes — the person in front of her was different from the one in her memory …
Lu Chen walked to the front of the bed and put the flowers on the bedside table. He smiled and asked Teacher Ye, who looked surprised, "Teacher Ye, are you feeling better?"
Ye Xiaolian fumbled for her glasses under the pillow and put them on. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Chen.
After a while, she showed a surprised look, "Lu Chen, you are Lu Chen!"
After four or five years, Lu Chen's appearance had changed a lot, but she still quickly recognized him.
"It's me …"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Last night at the class reunion, it was Huang Shan who told me that you were sick. Today, I came to see you on behalf of all the students, and they will also come."
Ye Xiaolian struggled to sit up, and Lu Chen quickly supported her and helped her sit more comfortably with a pillow.
Teacher Ye grabbed Lu Chen's hand and said with emotion, "It's really you. I almost couldn't recognize you. Now you are more handsome than before, and you have grown up and matured!"
Lu Chen nodded and gently held his teacher's rough and cold hand.
He had grown up and matured, but Teacher Ye was even older and thinner. The years were too merciless.
Recalling his teacher's care and concern for him in the past, Lu Chen's heart was extremely sour. He felt as if he had done something wrong, as he hadn't greeted his teacher for several years.
The middle-aged men and women around the bed looked at each other.
"Ah ~"
An uncontrollable scream suddenly rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The young nurse was covering her mouth with a red face. When she saw everyone looking at her, she awkwardly pushed the door open and left the ward. As she ran, she didn't forget to look back at Lu Chen again.
Ye Xiaolian smiled and said, "I heard that you are a star now. I even saw your news on the Internet. You are really promising. Teacher is very happy."
Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood, her face regained some color and showed some spirit.
"Have you settled everything at home?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but feel warm when he heard this. He knew that Teacher Ye had been concerned about him since he graduated from high school.
"It's all settled. All the debts at home have been paid off, and the house has been redeemed."
Ye Xiaolian was gratified. "That's good. You can make money now. You have to be more filial to your mother. It's really not easy for her."
Lu Chen's nose turned sour and he said, "She is very well now. You also have to take good care of yourself. If there is anything, call us. We are all children raised by you. We are not ungrateful people!"
The middle-aged men and women around him looked embarrassed. They felt that Lu Chen's words were like a slap in their faces.
Ye Xiaolian had a total of three sons and one daughter. All of them were present today, including her two daughters-in-law. They were just arguing about the sharing of medical expenses and hiring a nanny to take care of her, which was the matter of money.
In fact, a teacher like Ye Xiaolian had medical insurance and a high salary. However, the medical expenses were very high now. If she got seriously ill, she would have to deduct the part that could be reimbursed. The burden on her was not light.
Hiring a nurse was also not cheap. It was normal to pay thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. It was really difficult for ordinary people to bear.
But then again, if the four children shared the cost together, it was not a big number. Ye Xiaolian would not let them pay all the money, but they still argued with each other.
Lu Chen heard it clearly just now and he was extremely disgusted.
His mother, Fang Yun, knew Ye Xiaolian. She had once told Lu Chen that the latter's children had no conscience.
Ye Xiaolian had been engaged in education for decades and had never accepted gifts from students' parents. Her husband died very early, and it was not easy for her to raise four children alone.
However, after these children got married and established a career, they had no filial piety.
Now he saw that it was true!
A middle-aged man couldn't keep his face. He glared and scolded, "Boy, what are you talking about!"
Lu Chen's face darkened. He suddenly stood up and stared at the man with extremely sharp eyes.
The middle-aged man's wife's complexion changed. She pulled her husband's sleeve and whispered a few words.
She had heard of Lu Chen and knew Lu Chen's identity, so she was subconsciously timid.
"Cough, cough!"
Ye Xiaolian coughed twice and waved her hand, saying, "I'm talking to my students. All of you leave, leave!"
Her children looked at each other and hesitated to move.
Lu Chen sat down again and apologized, "Teacher Ye, I'm sorry …"
Ye Xiaolian resolutely said, "All of you leave. You don't need to pay for the medical expenses, and I don't need a nanny."
"Then … Mom, we'll see you later."
Her children and daughters-in-law left in a hurry and disappeared in the blink of an eye. No one really wanted to stay and take care of them.
Ye Xiaolian forced a smile at Lu Chen and said, "I've let you see a joke. I've taught so many students, but I didn't educate my children well. But they … also have their difficulties."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. You still have us. I'll ask the doctor to transfer you to the intensive care unit."
He reached out to press the call bell.
Ye Xiaolian stopped him, "Don't bother. I'm fine living here. It's an old problem."
"I know you want to help me, but I haven't reached this point yet. My medical insurance and salary are enough. If you have more money, go help more people who need help."
She held Lu Chen's hand again and showed a faint smile on her face, "I know everything about you raising money to help the girl with leukemia. I'm really proud of you!"
"What I'm most happy about is not that you have become a star or a celebrity, but that you have a kind heart."
"Don't forget your original intention, then you can go further on the road of life!"
Lu Chen nodded vigorously.
After talking so much with Lu Chen, coupled with the ups and downs of her mood, Ye Xiaolian showed a little fatigue.
Lu Chen quickly said, "Teacher, you should rest."
Ye Xiaolian nodded and said, "Well, you should go back too. You don't have to accompany me here. Remember to go home when you have time."
With that, she closed her eyes.
Lu Chen silently helped the teacher remove the pillow, helped her lie down and covered her with the quilt, and watched her fall asleep.
After making sure that Teacher Ye had fallen asleep, Lu Chen got up and left the ward.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he felt many hot eyes focused on him.
These eyes all came from the angels in white who worked at the nurses' station. They obviously already knew about Lu Chen. If it weren't for their work duties, they would have surrounded him.
Lu Chen quickly put on his sunglasses again and walked to the information desk at the nurses' station.
He asked the nurse sitting inside, "Hello, I want to change the patient in Ward 1870 to the intensive care unit. How do I go through the procedures?"
"Is Teacher Ye Xiaolian in Ward 1870?"
The nurse blushed and whispered, "I'll help you check if there are any vacancies in the intensive care unit …"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, sorry to trouble you."
The intensive care unit was a ward with special care. There was a single room and a nurse to monitor it 24 hours a day. Therefore, there was no need for family members to accompany them. It saved effort and money — medical insurance would not reimburse them.
But for Lu Chen, there was no pressure to pay for it.
He was lucky. Probably because it was the New Year, the wards in the People's Hospital were not so tight. There were still empty intensive care units, but according to the regulations, the patient or his family could transfer to another ward.
Fortunately, Lu Chen's star aura played a role. After the deputy director on duty at the People's Hospital got the news, he rushed over in person. After learning about Lu Chen's request, he gave special treatment without hesitation.
Respecting teachers was a good thing to promote virtue, not to mention that Lu Chen was a famous person in Binhai.
At the same time, Lu Chen learned that Teacher Ye's illness was mainly serious gastric bleeding, which was a precursor to stomach cancer. Moreover, she had been overworked for many years and her liver and kidney functions were not good, so she needed a long time to recuperate and treat.
He deposited a sum of money in his teacher's medical account and left his phone number at the hospital.
In case the treatment fee was not enough, he could inform him in time.
Of course, Lu Chen also left his signature and a group photo.
When he left the hospital, it was almost noon.
Driving out of the parking lot, Lu Chen was ready to go home for lunch. He did not expect that after a few steps, his cell phone rang.
He answered the phone with the car's speaker, "Hello …"
"Lu Chen …"
There was a familiar voice on the other side, "Where are you?"
It was Chen Fei 'er.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm in Binhai. I just went to the hospital to visit my teacher. Now I'm going home!"
Chen Fei 'er asked, "Can you pick me up at the high-speed railway station first? I'll be there soon."
"What?"
Lu Chen was shocked. "You came to Binhai?"
Chen Fei 'er smiled and said, "Yes, it's my first time in Binhai. Do you welcome me?"
Lu Chen was speechless – this was too much of a surprise!
