Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1385 Learn to Face
The couple's defense was instantly broken by his shout. Fu Guomin choked and hummed. Zhao Xinting cried and rushed over to hug Fu Xuedong tightly in her arms: "Son, I miss you so much."

Fu Guomin turned away and silently wiped away the tears on his face. Xu Chunliang gave him a look, and Fu Guomin understood what he meant. He walked towards the mother and son who were hugging each other tightly, and reached out to touch the top of Fu Xuedong's head: "Xiaodong, it's good that you're here, it's good that you're here..."

Fu Xuedong wiped away his tears and looked at his father: "Dad, I want to go see my brother."

Fu Guomin hesitated for a moment. He was not ready yet and didn't know what would happen when the two children met.

Xu Chunliang said: "Some things are best left to the children to deal with on their own."

Zhao Xinting nodded to Fu Guomin.

Fu Xuedong entered the ward alone and heard the background music of the game as soon as he opened the door. Fan Xiaopeng did not look up, still immersed in the world of the game.

Fu Xuedong said, "I'm playing King of Glory. Do you want to play with me?"

Fu Guomin had imagined countless times the children's reactions after the truth was revealed, but he never thought that Fu Xuedong would be so calm and composed.

Through the glass at the door, Fu Guomin and Zhao Xinting saw the two young people talking and laughing inside. They saw each other's surprise in their eyes. They even thought that the two children would develop hostility and resentment because their fates were exchanged. They never expected that they could be so harmonious with each other.

Fu Guomin left quietly because Xu Chunliang was still there. When he turned around to look for him, he found that Xu Chunliang had left at some point.

Fu Guomin chased out of the ward and caught up with Xu Chunliang at the elevator entrance: "Chunliang, wait a minute."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Old Fu, is there anything else?"

Fu Guomin said: "Thank you!"

Xu Chunliang said: "Think about it from another perspective. You have one more son."

Fu Guomin said: "What you said about Xiaopeng before..."

Xu Chunliang said, "I've talked to him and he's not good at studying. How about this? Let him come to Jeju to see me in a few days and I'll give him some advice."

Fu Guomin understood that Xu Chunliang wanted to help his son regain health. Thinking of his irrational behavior in the past few days, he felt guilty and touched: "Chunliang..."

At this time, the elevator arrived. Xu Chunliang said, "I'm leaving first. Call me if you need anything."

Fu Guomin finally agreed to return to the negotiation table, voluntarily gave up his request for Gu Houyi to apologize to him in the public media, and formally began the process of filing a claim against Changxing Hospital.

In the eyes of many people, Fu Guomin's goal has been achieved. By creating social impact, he put pressure on Changxing Hospital, forcing Changxing Hospital to bow down in the face of strong social opinion. Everything Fu Guomin did was to prepare for further claims.

The truth is that Fu Guomin also realized that the storm of public opinion he had stirred up had begun to get out of control, and that an invisible hand was constantly pushing the public opinion to a peak. Fu Guomin, who had regained his sanity due to Fu Xuedong's return, intended to put the brakes on, and he did not want the matter to spread endlessly.

After Fan Xiaopeng rested, the couple had a long-awaited reunion dinner with Fu Xuedong. Fu Xuedong was obviously more well-behaved than usual.

The couple looked at this son who suddenly became their no longer related by blood and didn't know what to say. Zhao Xinting kept picking up food for her son.

Fu Xuedong said: "Mom, I can do it myself."

Fu Guomin finally couldn't help asking, "What are you two talking about?"

Fu Xuedong put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Nothing. We played games for a while and talked about each other's lives. He and I were born on the same day. According to him, I should be his younger brother."

Zhao Xinting nodded: "Yes, I remember he was the first baby born in the ward that day."

Fu Xuedong said, "Then he is my brother. My brother said that there is nothing that cannot be solved with money. If compensation is due, then pay it. There is no point in arguing all the time."

Fu Guomin and his wife fell silent again. Did they see things clearly or did they not realize how much loss this incident had brought them?

Fu Guomin said: "What else did your brother say?"

Fu Xuedong said: "He said he doesn't want to go to school anymore. If you insist on letting him go to school in the future, he will leave Dongzhou. Anyway, he will be an adult soon and can decide his own life."

Fu Guomin said, "No one forced him to do anything." Although he said this, he was full of disappointment. His son was only seventeen years old and had not even graduated from junior high school. In today's society that values ​​diplomas and academic qualifications, what could he do? Even delivering express or being a security guard required a healthy body, and he was sick. Thinking of this, he felt even more depressed.

Zhao Xinting said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. There are many people in this world who have never been to college, and no one can survive." After saying that, she realized that her words might make Fu Xuedong think too much, so she immediately looked at her son and told him, "You have to study hard and get into a prestigious university to bring honor to your parents."

Fu Xuedong felt a little sad. His biological parents became adoptive parents. Although he accepted the reality, he still couldn't avoid feeling lost. He was afraid that the family of three would never be able to go back to the past.

Fu Guomin said: "There is nothing to do here. You two should go back to the capital tomorrow. Don't delay your studies."

Fu Xuedong said, "Dad, I want to stay for two more days before leaving." Fu Guomin said, "Be obedient, there is nothing for you to do here."

Fu Xuedong hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Dad, Mom, I want to meet my biological father Fan Yajun."

Fu Guomin's first reaction was that blood is thicker than water, but then he thought that he and his biological son had already known each other, and there was no reason to deprive him of the right to see each other. Even if he tried to stop him, he couldn't. He nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it, try to go back to school tomorrow after seeing each other."

Fu Xuedong said: "Okay."

After returning to the hotel, Fu Guomin collapsed on the bed without even changing his clothes. Zhao Xinting sat down beside the bed, turned off the lights, and after a long time she let out a long sigh.

"Old Fu, I can't explain why, but I feel a little upset."

Fu Guomin said: "It's nothing. It's natural for Xuedong to want to see his biological father. If he doesn't even have this thought, we will think that this child is heartless and ungrateful."

Zhao Xinting said, "Old Fu, what do you think we are doing in this life?"

Fu Guomin said: "Don't think about the past, think about the future. I'm not worried about Xuedong, I'm worried about Xiaopeng. He hasn't even graduated from junior high school and his health is like this. How can he gain a foothold in society in the future?"

Zhao Xinting said: "Didn't Chunliang promise to cure him?"

Fu Guomin said: "I have consulted a lawyer, and the maximum compensation I can get through formal legal channels is one million."

Zhao Xinting said: "Money is not important. The most important thing is whether Xiaopeng can recover his health."

Fu Guomin said: "If the matter hadn't been so serious, perhaps we could have obtained more compensation through private negotiations, but now everything has become public, so we can only deal with it in public."

Zhao Xinting asked: "What should we do then?"

Fu Guomin said: "Xiaopeng doesn't want to go to school, why not ask Changxing Hospital to help solve the work problem."

The matter of the Fu family was more troublesome than expected, so Xu Chunliang stayed for two more days. Fortunately, his work was not busy, and there was no big event in the first month of the year. Xu Chunliang said hello to Jiang Qiyong, who asked him to come back after he was done.

Fu Guomin has already shown signs of giving up, and after regaining his rationality, he decides to return to the negotiating table with Changxing.

Gu Houyi's interventional surgery was very successful. Although Fu Guomin withdrew his request for him to make a public apology, Gu Houyi also gained enlightenment after this incident. He decided to retire completely, enjoy his later years, and say goodbye to the right and wrongs in the workplace.

The turmoil surrounding this incident has not ended. Major media outlets are still competing to report on it, public opinion is still fermenting, and the voices condemning Changxing Hospital and Dongzhou leaders on the Internet are getting louder and louder. There will be no improvement in the short term.

Xu Chunliang has already left Dongzhou, and even if the Dongzhou system is turned upside down, it has nothing to do with him.

He and Zhang Song had previously agreed to go to southern Anhui to visit Old Lady Zhou, and he happened to take advantage of the opportunity to go during these two days.

Zhang Song had another meeting on his way to southern Anhui this time, and naturally used a government bus. Having worked in the system for many years, this kind of operation has become a habit for him, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Including the driver, there were three people in the car. During the trip, Zhang Song mentioned the recent sensation of the wrong baby being taken away, and said with emotion: "The public opinion this time was too big. I heard that Secretary Wang was interviewed by his superiors."

Xu Chunliang said: "As far as I know, it has been resolved. Fu Guomin has agreed to negotiate and is currently discussing compensation terms with Changxing Hospital."

Zhang Song sighed and said, "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Fu Guomin wanted to make a big fuss about this matter in the first place because he wanted to vent his anger."

Xu Chunliang said: "If anyone were to encounter his situation, they would inevitably feel aggrieved, and it is understandable that they would vent their anger."

Zhang Song said, "It's not just about the child. We all know very well that Fu Guomin was blamed for the Dongzhou BBQ City incident. He was removed from his position as Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau because of that incident. I'm afraid his resentment towards Dongzhou has been accumulating since then. Now he has found an opportunity to settle all the old and new grudges at once."

Although Xu Chunliang knew that Zhang Song had a point, he still defended Fu Guomin on the surface: "Old Fu is not so petty. I talked to him and he didn't expect this incident to cause such a big response."

Zhang Song said: "There are no real friends in the system. At most, there is a superior-subordinate relationship. If there is competition at the same level, then that is an enemy."

Xu Chunliang deliberately asked: "Do you have enemies?"

Zhang Song laughed: "I have fewer and fewer enemies now, mainly because I have no room for advancement. But I know Secretary Wang must have many enemies."

Xu Chunliang said: "According to what you said, this matter will not be settled for a while."

Zhang Song nodded. "I thought it was a small matter at first, but as the matter got bigger and bigger, I found that there was a lot of water behind it. Have you noticed that the headlines of the recent news all have the word Dongzhou in front of the incident, and some don't even mention Changxing Hospital."
