1928: The rise of giant merchants

July 3, the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929).

Shanghai Bund French Concession, Yip's United Hospital (formerly Suzuki Hospital).

After Morishita Hiroshi sold Suzuki Hospital at auction and Ye Luo picked it up at a low price, it was merged into Ye's Pharmaceutical Company. Xiang Songmao served as the president and vice chairman of the company. After half a year of accumulation, it absorbed With a large number of talents in the medical field at home and abroad, it has become the most popular private hospital in Shanghai after its reopening.

Many celebrities have given up on other foreign hospitals in the concession and went to Yip's United Hospital for medical treatment. For no other reason than because Yip's Pharmaceutical Company is backed by Yip's investment, and the real boss is the second young master who dominates the sky in Shanghai. Yeluo.

He had previously spent a lot of money to fully support the development of the pharmaceutical industry, and also spoke for traditional Chinese medicine, bringing an end to the dispute between traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and jointly fighting the disaster in the north, which can be described as an unparalleled achievement.

Yip's United Hospital is also famous for its state-of-the-art medical equipment and medical talents. Although medical expenses are extremely expensive, it is deeply trusted by celebrities.

At this time, a group of people surrounded a medical building. A group of core members of the Ye family, led by Ye Yuqiao, were pacing back and forth outside a special delivery room.

Li Shuzhen, who has always been calm in dealing with things, clasped her hands together, holding a string of green Buddhist beads, and kept chanting: "Amitabha, Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva, must bless my Ye family's daughter-in-law to give birth smoothly, mother and child to be safe and healthy."

Beside her, Bai Xiuzhu, who looked like a young lady, sat with Lin Rushian, Hu Die, and Ruan Lingyu, looking anxiously into the delivery room.

Listening to the screams of little Aqiao in the delivery room, Hu Die shrank his neck and couldn't help but gently caress his equally sizable belly.

In early January this year, she also found out she was pregnant. Now, almost half a year later, she can no longer hide her growing belly, which makes her feel anxious and nervous.

Ye Luo had solemnly told her not to abort it before, so Hu Die simply smashed the jar without covering up, letting her belly grow, and just walked around the Ye's Clothing Company in a high-sounding manner.

No one dares to gossip about the big stars of yesteryear.

So what if I get pregnant out of wedlock?

Anyone with a discerning eye knows who the child in her belly belongs to, so who would dare to taunt her?

However, it was her best friend Ruan Lingyu who had the biggest reaction after learning that she was pregnant.

Ruan Lingyu looked angry as if the cabbage she had worked so hard to raise had been eaten by a pig. She ignored Hu Die for several days, but finally she finally got through and ran to live with Hu Die with a smile. While taking care of her, she said she must be her. The godmother of the baby in her belly.

Bi Yunxia and Xiaoli, who both worked in the clothing company, naturally did not dare to hide the matter. With Hu Die's consent, they communicated with Bai Xiuzhu.

Lin Ruxian, Hu Die, Xiao Aqiao and Meng Xiaodong who did not come to Shanghai were the four people Ye Luo treated as concubines. In addition, women such as Ivanova and her daughter from Russia, Tang Wanying and Huixin , also had a romantic relationship with Ye Luofang, but it was impossible for them to enter the Ye family. In addition, there were other eldest ladies like Feng Chengcheng, Tang Ying, etc. who also secretly expressed their love for Ye Luofang. Although there was no actual intimate relationship, it was impossible to say for sure. In the future, I will enter the door of Ye family.

After calculating this, there are quite a few women who have unknowingly been involved with Ye Luo, and they look like Zhang Hanqing in Shanghai.

Regarding Ye Luo's passionate and romantic character, Li Shuzhen and Ye Yuqiao naturally turned a blind eye. They wished that he would take down all these good women and let the Ye family spread in the third generation and become a truly big family. family.

But everyone must take into account the emotions of the principal wife Bai Xiuzhu.

However, Bai Xiuzhu used to be a unruly and willful young lady, so Bi Yunxia and others who were in contact with her were afraid that she would make things worse if she could not control her temper.

Bai Xiongqi, who is now the deputy mayor, also thought that if Bai Xiuzhu wanted to get divorced and went back to her parents' home, he could only continue to hug Ye Luo's thigh and break up with his sister.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiuzhu's palace style far exceeded everyone's imagination.

She accepted these things from Ye Luo very calmly, as if she had anticipated all of this before the relationship.

No one knew that Bai Xiuzhu had actually confessed this to Ye Luo earlier and said that she didn't care——

The premise is that they cannot take Ye Luo away completely.

She is indeed an unruly young lady who makes a scene when things don't go her way.

But she is the sister Xiuzhu who is willing to give up everything, even her own dignity, to marry Ye Luo.

"Don't be afraid, everything will go well." Bai Xiuzhu reached out and held Hu Die's cold little hand, and comforted her, "Sister Hu Die, if you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest first."

"Sister Xiuzhu, it's okay." Hu Die was greatly moved. Lin Ruxian on the side took in everything and just smiled lightly, silently.

Here in the delivery room.

The amniotic fluid broke at ten o'clock in the morning, but the baby was not born yet at noon. The baby in her belly tormented little Aqiao for more than two hours.

"Having children is so scary. I will never get married or have children in the future." Little Aqiao's screams left a psychological shadow on Ruan Lingyu, who was usually carefree. Her face was pale, her face was pale, and her little hands were covered in sweat.

Until around one o'clock in the afternoon, the door to the delivery room suddenly opened, and a nurse hurriedly ran out and looked around. Li Shuzhen quickly stepped forward to ask about the situation.

"The pregnant woman inside has an abnormal fetal position and may have difficult labor. The doctor recommends a caesarean section." The nurse said concisely.

She also knew how big this group of people were, so she didn't dare to put on airs and talked about the pros and cons with nice words.

When they heard about the difficult delivery, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

Ye Hao, who had been smoking by the window, suddenly put out the cigarette butt and looked at his sister Ye Qingqing, who no longer had the student spirit and lady smell. His brother-in-law Ye Yuan also looked at him and immediately understood what his elder brother meant.

"Brother, I'll make another call." Ye Yuan knew that Ye Luo had to make the decision, but the problem was that Ye Luo was still on his way back, but the pregnant woman couldn't wait any longer.

"Does a caesarean section require cutting open the belly? It's too dangerous." Li Shuzhen's hands were trembling and she didn't dare to make a decision.

In 1929, caesarean section was not yet popular. When people heard that the belly would be cut open, everyone subconsciously felt that it was very scary and serious.

"Can't we do it without a caesarean section?" Ye Yuqiao asked.

The nurse shook her head and said, "It looks like it won't work. The doctor advises not to think about it for too long."

The first caesarean section in China was successful as early as the late Qing Dynasty. However, the mother had to insist on being discharged from the hospital due to post-operative infection, and she died in the end.

"This" everyone looked at each other, this was a major matter involving two lives, and no one dared to make a decision easily.

Giving birth to a child nowadays is like walking through the gate of hell. If you are not careful, both the big one and the small one will die.

"Caesarean section!" Bai Xiuzhu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up and said, "We can't delay it any longer. If we delay it any longer, Sister Shu's life will be lost. I'll sign this. If anything happens, I'll tell Brother Luo."

She pushed through the crowd, walked resolutely to the nurse, and picked up the simple list.

Lin Ruxian looked at her and suddenly felt that Bai Xiuzhu was completely different from the little girl in her memory who only loved to act coquettishly and cling to Ye Luo.

She is the second young lady of the Ye family and the future hostess.

This aura even made Lin Ruxian feel a little afraid.

"Call all the best obstetricians in Shanghai, especially those who can do caesarean section and have experience in caesarean section. No one will be left behind. Whoever performs this operation well today, I will give him 10,000 yuan."

Bai Xiuzhu's words were astonishing. After she finished speaking, Ye Hao and others rushed out to contact the doctor.

At the same time, a huge passenger plane also parked on the temporary apron of the Security Command under guidance. (End of chapter)
