Chapter 437: Chapter 437

"Third brother, you should persuade your sister-in-law, this is not something to act impulsively about, it’s Xiao Cheng’s life at stake."

Wu Pingxuan was upset, she was only trying to help.

It wasn’t about Jiang Xiaoxiao as a person, she was just worried about her nephew.

Wu Pingjing glanced at his wife, whose expression was resolute.

Mr. Wu spoke up, "Old third, I also think your sister is right about this. It’s not that we don’t trust Doctor Jiang, but we can’t afford to gamble with the child’s life. We should prepare for the surgery!

This is decided, listen to me."

Xu Meng’s shoulders instantly slumped; when the old man spoke, it was a final decision.

They couldn’t change it.

But she truly believed in Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Wu Pingjing squeezed his wife’s shoulder, feeling her despair, yet he sided with his father too.

"It’s okay, Xiao Cheng will be fine. Let’s listen to Dad."

Only then was Wu Pingxuan satisfied.

Her father certainly wasn’t confused.

This family needs someone like the parents to steer the ship.

Otherwise, it would eventually fall apart.

"Old man, I don’t agree with this. You know how weak Xiao Cheng’s health has been over the years! We are all doctors! After surgery, recovery relies on the immune system’s resistance. Any slight mistake can lead to a disastrous outcome.

Xiao Cheng’s body can’t withstand the rigors of surgery, and the reaction to rejection is unpredictable. I’m actually very open to accepting Doctor Jiang’s conservative treatment."

The old lady’s words were shocking, instantly reigniting hope in Xu Meng.

Her mother-in-law rarely spoke! But when she did! The old man also listened to her.

Xu Meng looked at the old lady in surprise, tears flowing.

Mr. Wu frowned, he knew his wife well.

She was not someone who spoke without reason.

For their grandson, the old lady cared as much as he did, because this grandson had been in poor health since birth and was the favorite among all the grandchildren.

The old lady and he both worried endlessly for their grandson, but this time, he was surprised that she spoke this way, unsure what idea his wife had.

Could it be that Doctor Jiang was this impressive?

Even though his wife had only met Doctor Jiang a few times, she could still speak up for her.

Could it be that he didn’t understand Doctor Jiang well enough?

But that makes sense as well!

How much did he know!

He had only met Doctor Jiang once in total.

And it was unpleasant.

They had offended her seriously.

The rest of the time, Doctor Jiang usually visited the ward when there were the fewest people.

Opportunities to see her were very rare.

All he knew was that this young woman was young, but her temper was just as strong, and indeed her skills were impressive. Her ancestral secret recipe had helped the grandson’s body gradually recover.

But saying that an ancestral secret recipe could cure heart disease, the old man was absolutely skeptical!

Before the old man could speak, Wu Pingxuan ran over to the old lady.

The old lady had given birth to three sons, and she was her only daughter, truly pampered usually.

She indulged her more than others, otherwise, her temper wouldn’t have developed , so she spoke to her mother without reservation.

"Mom, you can’t do this, you’re too old to make such principle-level mistakes. I’ve seen that Doctor Jiang, not only is she proud but also looks like she’s a con artist. What ancestral secret recipe, I smelled what she called an ancestral secret recipe, and it was just a sweet fruit juice taste.

I suspect con artists usually use this so-called ancestral secret recipe to keep you hooked. Look at how at first they said it’s an ancestral secret recipe, and you believed it. Later on, they say heart disease can be treated with an ancestral secret recipe.

Don’t you believe it?

If something happens to Xiao Cheng, what then? These ancestral secret recipes usually won’t harm people, but it’s also unlikely they can truly heal a disease.

Jiang Xiaoxiao is just a con artist."

Everyone looked in one direction, where Wu Weiguo had slammed his palm down on the glass of the coffee table, shattering it.

Wu Pingxuan frowned, when she was young, she wasn’t close to her eldest brother, and when she grew older, her brother went to prison for committing a crime.

Over the years, she had no interaction with her brother and did not consider him a person in her heart.

Besides, their father always said there was no such person as their Wu family.

What was the eldest brother doing now, getting angry with them over an outsider?

Her expression was very indifferent.

"Eldest brother, Dad and Mom are here, why are you getting so angry! Why are you disregarding your family’s face for an outsider? Is it possible that Jiang Xiaoxiao is your illegitimate daughter? You’re really putting in a lot of effort for her."

She really couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

She had no idea that these words hit Wu Weiguo’s heart directly.

Wu Weiguo’s face turned ashen, a color on the face of someone who was usually so expressionless, was already extreme.

"Shut up! Fourth child, apologize to your eldest brother immediately. He’s your eldest brother; he’ll always be your eldest brother. What gives you the right to speak to him that way? We’re not dead yet; you’re not in charge here, not even when we are gone will you be."

Mrs. Wu said angrily.

Even though she felt sorry for her daughter, she knew these words had stabbed her son’s heart.

These past few days, she had been too worried to eat or sleep, just thinking about what to do.

Xiaoxiao was so good, if they didn’t recognize this child back, her son would be lonely all his life, even though he had a child who could be there for him in old age.

But in the end, he would be alone, and while at his age, he could still find a companion, having another child was uncertain.

Xiao Xiao might be his only child.

The old lady thought deeply and believed that if they didn’t recognize this child, they would truly be doing a disservice to their eldest son.

However, recognizing her back would do a disservice to the Wu family, which was not only about their eldest son but also involved other sons and daughters.

If such a scandal was exposed, not only would the Wu family lose face, but the Fang family and the Song family would also lose face. The situation would be very embarrassing for all three families.

Moreover, it wouldn’t be beneficial for Jiang Xiaoxiao. How could a child born out of wedlock have a good reputation, especially as a child born of an affair?

In this era, people view children born this way differently.

This child had a bright future, and if mishandled, it could bring her distress or even ruin her prospects.

That would truly be the fault of their family.

Her son was reluctant to recognize this child precisely for this reason.

Recognizing this child would bring her no benefits; at least now, she lived happily, with the Song family treating her well.
