Chapter 856 People who love beauty can't accept starving to death
"We need to see the patient first."
Director Li's suggestion was not wrong.
Mr. Li felt that it was good that the other party was not eager for quick success.
This shows that the old man really does have some skills.
Maybe it can really cure his grandson.
"Okay, I'll take you to meet them now."
Old Li's grandson is named Li Yueming.
His nickname is Xiaoming.
Shen Lu and Director Li met with Xiao Ming.
The eighteen-year-old boy had fair skin, as if he had never been exposed to the sun and lived in a cold, damp cave.
Perhaps because there was no hope of getting back up, he also had a bad temper.
When they arrived, the boy was throwing a tantrum.
"I already said I'm not eating, I'm not eating, didn't you hear me?"
"You all leave! Leave now!"
Mr. Li heard this, but he wasn't angry; he was just worried.
"what happened?"
There was the sound of breaking dishes inside, and Mr. Li was asking the cleaning lady who was tidying up the mess.
The aunt was clearly Xiaoming's personal nanny, responsible for his daily life.
The aunt was kneeling on the ground cleaning up the broken pieces of dishes, her knees bleeding from the shards, but she didn't utter a sound.
The middle-aged man next to him was still trying to persuade the young master to eat.
"Xiaoming, please eat a few bites. Your grandfather cares about you a lot. He heard that there was a doctor from China, so he went to invite him to treat you."
"What are you looking at? Looking at it won't make you any better."
Xiao Ming gripped the armrests of the wheelchair with his fingers, his veins bulging and he looked pitiful.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Tell Grandpa not to waste his energy. I'm already a useless person."
A piece of trash without dignity doesn't even deserve to live.
"Nonsense!" Mr. Li quickly stopped his grandson. "In Grandpa's heart, you are a treasure, a lucky star. How could you be a good-for-nothing?"
"Don't worry, no matter what the cost, Grandpa will cure you."
Mr. Li truly loves his grandson.
This is the only bloodline left by his most beloved woman and his most beloved son.
The woman died for him, and the son died for him. Do you think this bloodline is worth anything?
"What's the point of you paying the price?"
"No one is willing to perform the surgery on me now."
Li Yueming only regrets being born into the Li family, growing up amidst conspiracies and schemes.
He even worries about being poisoned when he eats.
Because he was his grandfather's most beloved grandson, he was born with a large fortune, which made all his brothers and sisters jealous.
"I've brought two more doctors with me; perhaps they can help?"
"If they can save people who are seriously injured in an explosion, they must be able to help you too."
The intelligence Mr. Li received happened to be transmitted by Lü Jinhua.
That's why he knew so much about Shen Lu and the others.
The grandfather and grandson underwent surgery together and were truly snatched back from the jaws of death, which greatly surprised and delighted Mr. Li.
He didn't care who the other person was; as long as they could save his grandson, they were a good person.
"I don't believe it, Grandpa. Have you been scammed?"
He looked at Shen Lu and Director Li: "Looking at them, one is so old that he can't even hold a scalpel anymore, and the other is so young that he probably doesn't even recognize all the blood vessels in a body."
"They're just scammers."
"Or you want them to conspire together to cheat me."
"I'd rather starve to death right now!"
Li Xiaoming was truly giving up on himself, so he was completely unwilling to accept treatment.
Having seen too many quack doctors, he now simply doesn't believe he can be cured.
Neither Shen Lu nor Director Li took the other person's comments about judging people by their appearance seriously.
"Young Master doesn't even have the courage to live, yet he dares to die?"
"Are you trying to starve yourself to death?"
"Do you know how painful it is for someone who starves to death?"
Shen Lu took the initiative to speak.
Director Li didn't stop it, and Mr. Li didn't show any dissatisfaction.
He even hoped that this young woman could persuade his grandson.
Even if it's not because they're eloquent, but because they're good-looking?
Xiaoming used to like pretty things, and now he thinks this girl also fits his grandson's aesthetic standards.
"What does that ugly freak know..." Li Xiaoming was about to curse.
"Who are you calling ugly?" Shen Lu suddenly raised her voice.
Li Xiaoming was startled and carefully examined Shen Lu.
It's not ugly at all!
“I said the old man next to you is ugly!” He turned to look at Director Li.
Director Li?
"People get ugly when they get old. I was much more handsome than you when I was young."
He didn't break through at all.
Back in the day, he charmed countless nurses on the battlefield. How could he possibly be ugly?
"Impossible!" Li Xiaoming simply couldn't believe that the old man was more handsome than him when he was young.
Doesn't that mean he'll be uglier than this old man when he gets old?
He couldn't accept it.
"If you can't even accept being ugly, then you definitely can't accept yourself becoming ugly because of hunger."
Shen Lu simply took out her phone and showed Li Yueming some photos of people who had starved to death.
"Do you see these people who have starved to death?"
"Their eyes bulge out, and their bodies are as thin as sticks, like aliens."
"If you can bear to become like this, then keep starving yourself."
"And you can't stand up, so your body will be hunched over when you're buried."
"Even tomb raiders would be scared away by you."
Shen Lu was quick to criticize, and after saying a lot, she realized that Li Yueming wasn't so determined to starve himself anymore.
Perhaps it was after seeing Shen Lu's pictures that he became acutely aware of the horror of starvation.
He didn't mention starving to death anymore.
But he clearly still didn't believe that these two people could cure him.
"That's scary. With your body, you only have a little experimental value left."
"If you're going to give up on everything, why not help us out and give your grandfather something to look forward to?"
Li Yueming?
He didn't know how else he could help the old man and the young man.
"Since you're pretty, I'll let you examine me."
Li Yueming actually relented.
Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief, while Director Li could only sneer.
What, you only examine pretty young girls, but not this ugly freak?
Director Li didn't really want to talk to Li Xiaoming.
Shen Lu first gave Xiaoming a full body examination, focusing on his spine.
“I’ve reviewed your medical records. Your first surgery was actually quite successful. If things hadn’t gone wrong during your recovery, you would already be able to stand up.”
Shen Lu was not lying.
She had already looked at the medical records on her way here.
Mr. Li didn't kill the doctor who performed the surgery because the surgery was successful.
However, because they didn't take good care of the patient, problems arose, leading to a conflict between the doctor and the Li family.
Mr. Li was clearly provoked, which is why he impulsively attacked the doctor.
The doctor didn't kill the man, but he broke his precious right hand, rendering the doctor unable to hold a scalpel again.
For a surgeon, this is worse than death.
