So You're Such A Doctor Song

Chapter 482: Mm... I Don’t Like You Being Like That. My Heart Aches For You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone had a gift. No one was left out. Even Shen Liu and Li Xiaoxia got gifts.

Li Congyang and Old Master Li exchanged glances. These gifts weren’t expensive but they were very thoughtful. Li Shaobin had always been thoughtless. He wouldn’t have noticed if anyone at home was feeling unwell or had any hobbies. They could only conclude that Ruan Yang had remembered everything the elders said in her heart despite only having been over a few times.

He Mingshan held on to the herbs and listened to Ruan Yang going on and on about how she should prepare and eat them. She had mixed feelings inside. After all, Li Shaobin was rarely so concerned about her. Every time she mentioned that she was feeling unwell somewhere, Li Shaobin would reply with: “You’re as strong as an ox. You’ll be fine in a few days.” She doted so much on this son so she was very angry every time she heard that and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

However, it wasn’t like Li Shaobin didn’t care about his mom. The only time he would show that he cared about her was whenever she got bullied; Li Shaobin would take care of that person the very next day. Because of that, no one dared to bully her. If there really was any bullying, it would be verbal bullying but she couldn’t control other people’s mouths.

The wedding incident did make her feel very embarrassed. She had complained several times privately but her son wanted to marry Ruan Yang and treated her like a treasure, so there was nothing she could do either.

Now, Ruan Yang was trying to curry her favor and she also happened to make up for Li Shaobin’s thoughtlessness, so she really couldn’t express what she was feeling.

She felt frustrated, annoyed, and also felt that she shouldn’t be feeling this way. After all, everyone knew about her and Xin Ziao. However, putting the photos up so blatantly during her son’s wedding really made her lose all face.

Ruan Yang saw that she was silent and said sadly, “Dad, Mom, I know I’ve humiliated the Li family because of what happened during the wedding. I’m really very, very sorry. I’ve cut off all contact from Xin Ziao for a very long time. I didn’t expect that he would get someone to do something like that. However, this was a mistake I made in the past. I was the one who couldn’t tell a good person from a bad person and caused so much trouble for the Li Family.”

Li Congyang took a sip of tea silently. He Mingshan glanced at Li Shaobin and saw that he actually didn’t speak up for her. Hence, she cleared her throat and said, “You were in the wrong. What on earth was that? I was really embarrassed that day. I couldn’t even bring myself to step out of the door or answer my friends’ calls for the past few days. Now... this incident is spreading like wildfire everywhere.”

“I’m sorry.” Ruan Yang quickly poured He Mingshan a cup of tea. “Mom, don’t be angry. I caused you to be embarrassed. If you feel upset, you can vent your anger at me anytime. It doesn’t matter as long as you feel a little better inside.”

He Mingshan saw how humble Ruan Yang was and looked as though she was very afraid that she would be angry. On top of that, her son didn’t even speak up for Ruan Yang, so she felt slightly better and accepted the tea. “It’s not just me who feels upset. Your Dad and Grandpa are upset too.”

Ruan Yang quickly poured a cup of tea for Li Congyang, Grandma Li, and Grandpa Li.

Li Xiaoxia, who had been studying Ruan Yang’s gift, suddenly stood up and said unhappily, “Grandma, Sister Ruan Yang is also a victim. There were so many people there that day. She was also very embarrassed. Why must you throw your temper at her? In my opinion, the person you should be angry at is the person who plotted all of that.”

Ruan Yang was stunned. She specifically instructed Li Shaobin not to speak up for her and he did manage to hold back, but she didn’t think that Li Xiaoxia would speak up for her. Although she was very grateful for that, her heart sank a little when she saw He Mingshan’s expression worsening.

He Mingshan glared at her grandson angrily and said, “You’re still a young punk; what do you know?”

“What do I not know? Although I’ve never been in a relationship before, I have watched many romance dramas.” Li Xiaoxia pouted and talked back to her with his head and chest up high. “Who hasn’t fallen in love with the wrong person when they were young? Who hasn’t met a scumbag? You’ve been watching those family dramas all day long. Aren’t there scumbags in those dramas too? He just wanted to make you feel uncomfortable and develop an opinion against Sister Ruan Yang. Even a child like me understands but you don’t even though you’re already at this age. There really is something wrong with your IQ. No wonder you keep losing money in Mahjong.”

For the first time, Li Shaobin wanted to applaud this little nephew that he always hadn’t liked. He really had some brains.

“You... you...” He Mingshan was stumped by his words.

Shen Liu quickly went over to pull her son over and pulled his ear. “You brat; how could you be so rude to your grandma?”

“Doesn’t Little Uncle always talk to Grandma like that too?” Li Xiaoxia pouted.

Li Shaobin coughed a couple of times awkwardly. Grandma Li suddenly sighed with the teacup in her hands. “There are some things Xiaoxia said that make sense. Actually, we all know it very well. Forget it. Let’s just endure it and time will make it all fade away. However, Ruan Yang, there’s nothing we can do about your past. I only hope that you can leave this Xin Ziao as far away as possible in the future. Also, treat Shaobin nicely. I’m not praising my grandson but he’s very open-hearted.”

“Grandma, don’t worry. I understand very clearly how well Shaobin treats me. I will treat him well and take care of him even better in the future,” Ruan Yang said very sincerely with relief.

Grandma Li nodded. “Alright, let’s not talk about such upsetting things anymore. Zhongchi and Jinchi will teach the Xin family a lesson. I doubt people will continue saying things for long.”

When everyone heard that, they thought it did make some sense.

—————————-

Ruan Yang was staying over at the Li Household, so she accompanied He Mingshan and Grandma Li while they watched a drama. Li Shaobin sat at the side with them for a while and couldn’t sit still anymore. He persuaded Ruan Yang to go back with him to their room impatiently.

“Go back yourself first. It’s my first day sleeping over at your house. I have to curry your Grandma and Mom’s favor,” Ruan Yang whispered in his ear straightforwardly.

Li Shaobin tickled her palm. “What kind of favor could you curry by watching dramas? You don’t have to curry their favor. You just have to curry my favor.”

Ruan Yang watched him for a few seconds and said with an apparent smile, “Be good and you’ll be rewarded with a whip.”

“... Alright.” Li Shaobin smiled brightly. He didn’t go up but stayed with Ruan Yang throughout the show.

Usually, Grandma Li and He Mingshan were the only ones watching TV since they liked similar dramas. Old Master Li and Li Zhongchi liked to watch war films while Shen Liu liked to watch idol dramas, so the Li family members basically watched their dramas separately. However, the elderly actually liked to have people watching with them. Li Shaobin, who usually hated watching dramas with them, actually sat there obediently with them until the drama ended at 10 pm. Grandma Li and He Mingshan knew who he actually wanted to accompany but they were still quite satisfied.

When the drama ended at 10 pm, Grandma Li said, “The drama is over. I’m going back to my room to sleep. You two can go back to sleep too. You youngsters don’t like to watch such dramas. It’s quite hard for you to sit here with us old ladies. We understand your intentions. You don’t have to do this next time—you can just go back to your room to do what you like.”

Ruan Yang said with a face full of sincerity, “Shaobin is the one who can’t sit still. I found that drama quite exciting. I’m going to look it up on the web to find out if I can watch the final episode later. I just want to know if they’ll end up together in the end.”

Grandma Li believed her and didn’t think that a young lady of her age would like the same things as they did. “Then remember to tell me the ending when you’ve watched it.”

He Mingshan said with a smile, “It’ll be meaningless if you already know the ending.”

“It’s not good to spoil it for yourself. Grandma, your mood will be affected when you watch the drama. I’ll just watch it myself and not tell you.” Ruan Yang chuckled softly and went back with Li Shaobin to their room while holding his arm.

Li Shaobin was bewildered. “Yangyang, I didn’t think that you would like those kinds of dramas. They’re so boring and cliche. Only old women like them enjoy those dramas.”

Ruan Yang glared at him. “How could you say that of your family members? These kinds of dramas were made for seniors. They’re just for leisure. Those kinds of sappy love dramas aren’t suitable for them either.”

“But you’re not old.” Li Shaobin blinked. “Don’t tell me... you were bluffing? Was that also to curry their favor?”

Ruan Yang smiled without saying anything.

Li Shaobin felt uncomfortable inside and reached his hand out to hold her. “Yangyang, your acting skills are superb. Even I believed you. You actually don’t have to curry their favor like that. Mm... I don’t like you being like that. My heart aches for you.”

“If you say I’m currying their favor, there’s a bit of truth in that. But I don’t dislike that feeling.” Ruan Yang sighed. “You’re usually so thoughtless when you speak and you don’t keep your family members company. Actually, it’s quite good to take some time out to keep them company from time to time, especially your grandma. She’s already so old. What’s so bad about keeping her company and chatting with her? Just like my grandma. I really want to spend more time with her but she’s no longer around, so I do feel quite regretful. You have to keep people company while they’re still around. We’re still young and we just have to take a little time out when we’re together to spend with elders and they’ll be very happy. They were happy tonight not because I kept them company but because you kept them company.”

Li Shaobin felt his heart skip a beat.

He would rarely think about such things. Now that Ruan Yang brought it up, he suddenly thought of his grandma who doted on him a lot and already had a head full of white hair. Somehow, he started to feel uncomfortable.
