"Cough, cough..."
Huang Guilan's complexion was poor, and her cough worsened. She smiled at her daughter and said, "It's alright. If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell me, and I'll make it for you."
"Mom, why has your cough gotten worse? Didn't you go buy medicine?"
Zhou Xiaomin looked at her mother with concern, but Huang Guilan waved her hand with a smile and said, "This cough is an old ailment, Mom. Medicine doesn't help, it'll be fine in a couple of days. You don't need to worry about me."
Seeing her mother trying to put on a brave face, Zhou Xiaomin became a little angry. "Mom, buying medicine doesn't cost much, don't be so stingy. Here's what you do, you go back first. After I finish work tonight, I'll go to the pharmacy and buy some cough medicine for you."
"Cough, cough..."
Huang Guilan, coughing repeatedly, shook her head and said, "I've already told you, this cough isn't serious. You're living in the factory now, don't make trips back and forth."
"You're coughing this badly, how can I not worry?" Zhou Xiaomin said, very annoyed.
Knowing their family's poor financial situation, her mother was reluctant to spend money and had thus never sought treatment for her cough.
"Alright, alright, I'll go back now and buy some medicine on the way." Knowing her daughter was worried, Huang Guilan had no choice but to deceive her.
"Then you must not lie to me. If I come back in a couple of days and you're still coughing, I'll be angry with you," Zhou Xiaomin pouted and threatened.
Huang Guilan coughed twice and nodded with a smile, saying, "Alright, you should go in and eat and get to work. I'm going back."
"Okay, ride your bike slowly."
Zhou Xiaomin smiled and nodded, watching her mother ride away on a bicycle that was on its last legs, coughing and wobbling as she went.
Zhou Xiaomin, still worried, watched her mother go a long way before turning back to enter the factory. Just then, Wan Yunting happened to come out. She quickly greeted him politely, "Hello, President Wan. Are you heading back?"
"Yes, going back," Wan Yunting nodded and smiled.
Zhou Xiaomin also nodded, "Take care, President Wan."
Suddenly, Wan Yunting remembered something and turned to ask her, "Right, last time I asked you to take your mother for a check-up, did you take her?"
"Ah, I..."
Zhou Xiaomin's expression froze. She hadn't expected President Wan to still remember. She had been busy with work lately and hadn't had time to take her mother for a check-up...
"Oh no, who's this old lady who fell...!"
Suddenly, a man's shout came from a distance. Huang Guilan had fallen to the ground with her bicycle. Seeing this, Zhou Xiaomin was so startled that the lunchbox in her hand dropped. Forgetting Wan Yunting, she rushed over, "Mom..."
Seeing this scene, Wan Yunting could not stand by. He also rushed over, arriving at where Huang Guilan had fallen ahead of Zhou Xiaomin. Zhou Xiaomin, her face full of anxiety, tried to help her mother up, but Wan Yunting quickly said, "Don't move her, let her lie down first. I'll check if she's injured anywhere..."
"Oh, okay..."
Zhou Xiaomin retracted her hand and watched her mother, who had fallen and fainted, with anxious eyes. Wan Yunting took her wrist to feel her pulse and observed Huang Guilan's complexion. Her lips were slightly pale, and she appeared to be having difficulty breathing. Wan Yunting knew she was having a relapse. He immediately said to Zhou Xiaomin, "Call an ambulance quickly. Your mother fainted because her lung disease caused respiratory failure."
"Ah, lung disease..."
Zhou Xiaomin was stunned upon hearing that her mother had lung disease.
Wan Yunting had already laid Huang Guilan flat on the ground and began performing CPR. Seeing Zhou Xiaomin frozen with fear, he shouted, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up."
"Ah, yes, yes..."
Zhou Xiaomin, jolted back to reality, tremblingly took out her phone to dial 120. Wan Yunting added, "Call Nanfang Hospital..."
While performing CPR on Huang Guilan, Wan Yunting saw that she had vomited. He quickly turned her head to the left and used his finger to pry open her mouth, clearing the vomit blocking her airway, then continued with CPR...
Soon, more and more people gathered. At the same time, Fang Yanxi, who was driving out, saw the scene and quickly got out of her car to see what was happening. She saw the man resuscitating a woman, and Jin Xiuwen's secretary, Zhou Xiaomin, was anxiously pacing nearby. She asked, "Xiaomin, what happened?"
"President Fang, my... my mom fainted."
Zhou Xiaomin was extremely anxious and said with a crying voice.
Hearing that the man resuscitating the company employee's mother, Fang Yanxi also became anxious and asked, "How is she?"
Wan Yunting, completely focused, paid no attention to Fang Yanxi. He turned Huang Guilan's mouth to check again. Seeing that she still wasn't breathing, he realized CPR was not working. He turned to Fang Yanxi and said, "Quick, go to my car trunk and get me the silver needles."
"Oh, okay..." The situation was urgent, and Fang Yanxi quickly turned back. But then she thought of something and called back, "Your car keys..."
"In my right pocket..."
Wan Yunting was still performing CPR on Huang Guilan. Fang Yanxi went up and squatted down, reached into his right pocket, took out the car keys, and then ran back to the factory entrance. She opened the car trunk and saw a first-aid kit. Without checking if there were any silver needles inside, she grabbed it and ran back.
Without a word, Wan Yunting opened the first-aid kit, took out a set of silver needles, and said, "Pull her shirt open..."
"Okay..."
At this moment, Zhou Xiaomin didn't care if Wan Yunting could save her mother or not. She unbuttoned her mother's shirt...
The onlookers were pointing and talking, but Wan Yunting had no time to pay attention to them. He picked up a silver needle, asked Zhou Xiaomin to move aside, pressed the Tanzhong acupoint on Huang Guilan with his left hand, wrapped the needle with his qi to sterilize it, and then unhesitatingly slowly inserted the needle into the Tanzhong acupoint. Then, he forcefully pressed about ten inches above the Tanzhong acupoint with his left thumb...
"Cough..."
Suddenly, Huang Guilan coughed violently, spitting out all the vomit from her airway, and took a deep breath...
"She's awake, she's awake..."
Seeing that Huang Guilan could finally breathe, the onlookers, who had been holding their breath, finally relaxed and began to applaud, praising, "Amazing..."
"Phew..."
Seeing Huang Guilan awake, the tense Wan Yunting breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Yanxi beside him also exhaled. Zhou Xiaomin was so happy that she started crying, "Mom, I thought you were gone, sob sob..."
"Don't move her yet. Let her lie still and let her breathing stabilize..."
Wan Yunting reminded Zhou Xiaomin. She sat on the ground, crying and nodding, and said emotionally, "President Wan, President Fang, thank you..."
Wan Yunting waved his hand. Soon, the ambulance arrived. It was from the emergency department of Nanfang Hospital. They greeted each other, then lifted Huang Guilan onto the ambulance. Zhou Xiaomin followed them to the hospital...
Wan Yunting tidied up the first-aid kit. Seeing that Fang Yanxi was still there, he smiled and said, "I'll go back to the hospital to check on her. Don't worry, that employee's mother will not be in any life-threatening danger."
"Mm."
Fang Yanxi nodded, then took out her car keys and handed them to him, saying, "Then I'll wait for you at home."
Wan Yunting took the keys, his expression freezing for a moment. But Fang Yanxi had already turned and got into her car. Wan Yunting only reacted then, he walked up and knocked on the car door, smiling and asking, "Your place, or mine?"
Fang Yanxi glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, too lazy to speak, and drove away.
"Drive slowly..."
Watching the car leave, Wan Yunting smiled. He then got into his own car and followed the ambulance back to Nanfang Hospital.
When Jin Xiuwen heard about this, he also went with Wan Yunting...
