Chapter 423 -375: Indifferent as a Chrysanthemum Mother? The Young Lady Casually Sabotages 15
The Traditional Chinese Hospital was quite simple; no one would guess it was a hospital just by looking at the facade. The main door was very quaint, and although there weren’t many people coming and going—just a few scattered individuals—it was evident from their attire that they were either rich or noble, and their statuses were not ordinary either.
Su Qin took Su Zhiruan inside since they had an appointment booked in advance. After stating their names and showing their identification, someone respectfully escorted them upstairs.
“Please wait here for a moment; I will check how many people are ahead of you for Dr. Xie,” said the nurse, before directing them to a waiting area and then turning to leave.
Su Qin occasionally looked at his daughter, his main concern being her health.
Previously unaware, it was only after a recent hospital check-up that he discovered his daughter had numerous scattered injuries. These injuries all needed proper care, and they were not just superficial wounds that could be dealt with by applying some ointment. They were internal injuries that required serious nourishment. He looked at his daughter with deep concern, then set all his hopes on Dr. Xie, whom they had yet to meet.
As for Su Zhiruan at the moment, her greater curiosity lay in the son of Immortal Xie Yanshang.
“Ruanruan, you’ve never talked to Dad about your frail health all these years. If it weren’t for you calling me to pick you up last time, I would have remained in the dark. Next time, contact Dad first if anything comes up!” At this moment, Su Qin’s face showed nothing but guilt, and he almost wished he could beat his chest in frustration. But upon seeing Su Zhiruan’s obedient expression, he merely lowered his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose in shame.
“I didn’t want to trouble you, Dad. It would make me feel bad to cause you any inconvenience,” she said.
Su Zhiruan didn’t know what the original owner of her body had been thinking, but for her now, this was undoubtedly an opportunity to gain favor. She said these words, going with the flow and greatly increasing her father’s affection for her.
Su Qin felt even more remorseful. He looked at his daughter’s frail and slender figure, his eyes slightly red. “Dad has been wrong; all these years, I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, letting you get bullied and now finding you so thin and weak…”
“Alright, alright, Dad, don’t worry, you work for the sake of our whole family. If anyone should feel distressed, it should be me as a daughter worrying about you,” Su Zhiruan sweetly retorted, adeptly handling the conversation.
Her slight smile made Su Qin even more fond of her, and she continued, “So Dad really cares about me, then from now on, I will make sure to keep in touch with you often. If I have any problems, I will definitely turn to you, Dad, because I know that you can shield me from the wind and rain, right?!”
“Yes, yes, my girl has grown up. Remember what you’ve said, okay? Ruanruan, come to Dad whenever you have anything in the future!”
After hearing her words, Su Qin finally relaxed, smiling and nodding his head, deciding in his heart to pay more attention to Su Zhiruan from now on.
While the father and daughter were nostalgically expressing their emotions, the same nurse suddenly came out and gestured for them to follow, saying, “Please come with me, Dr. Xie does not have any patients right now.”
Su Zhiruan and Su Qin stood up and followed the nurse around two turns, afterwards arriving at a consultation room at the very end.
The decor here didn’t resemble that of a hospital— tense and hurried—rather, there was a sense of tranquility.
Rather than calling this a Traditional Chinese Hospital, it would be more accurate to refer to it as a small, private Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic.
From the outside, there was nothing notable, but upon entering, one would feel the quiet serenity of the place.
There were not many people around; apart from the few individuals at the entrance, there were only the occasional nurses seen in the corridors.
Large public hospitals have many different types of consultation rooms, emergency departments for sudden illnesses, and emergency rooms for unexpected delivery or complications.
Comparatively, Traditional Chinese Medicine places more emphasis on conditioning.
Chinese Medicine practitioners would use a variety of herbs to gently nourish and gradually heal the root of an illness.
However, for sudden symptoms, emergency care might still be quicker.
As Su Zhiruan approached Dr. Xie’s consultation room, she smelled a faint scent of Chinese herbs.
The flavor was not at all off-putting; instead, it was very warm and made the heart feel very calm. Unintentionally, it led one to completely relax their mental state.
The young nurse knocked on the door, then addressed the inside of the room, “Dr. Xie, the patient has been brought here, may I come in?”
“Come in.”
A faintly diluted and steady voice came from inside the door. The man’s voice was pleasant to the ear, like a rich cello being played, exuding an impression of cultivation and grace. Just by hearing his voice, one could tell he must not be the offspring of an ordinary household.
As the door opened, Su Qin and Su Zhiruan looked up, and in an instant, their gazes briefly met with that of Dr. Xie. Su Zhiruan also got a clear view of the true appearance of this son of the current realm.
Perhaps because he was always favored by the Heavenly Dao, every incarnation of the son of the realm had a first-rate appearance.
It simply was not possible for others to pick out any flaws. Just in that brief encounter, she had clearly seen Xie Yanshang’s features.
Xie Yanshang’s features were like jade, resembling a green pine. He was sitting in his chair, his posture erect, exuding an outstanding aura, as if he were an Immortal with a jade-like skeleton. His fingertips were pinching a black pen. His other hand was casually resting on the desk, and his office desk was arranged very neatly. To one side were thick medical records and case files, and behind him were books, mixed with a trace of bitterness in the air.
On the windowsill, there were two or three potted plants, growing very well, lush and green. The oily green branches suggested that their owner must take good care of them.
When Su Qin saw Xie Yanshang, his brain went blank.
He then froze in place, not daring to move.
Su Zhiruan also noticed his abnormality, and she glanced at Su Qin with a gentle sidelong look.
At this moment, Su Qin was overwhelmed by immense shock. He raised his head and stepped forward two steps, his tone becoming much more respectful, “Young Master Xie! It turns out to be you, you really are here!!”
In his voice, one couldn’t help but detect surprise, and when Su Zhiruan saw this scene, she was also somewhat disbelieving.
The information about the son of the realm given to her by the system was not perfectly complete and had many gaps. She only knew that Xie Yanshang was a doctor, but she had not expected this additional identity. It was clear that this Xie Yanshang was not just any ordinary doctor.
“If you are here to see me for treatment, then please take a seat. If you are here to discuss other matters, then I’m currently not available.” Xie Yanshang stopped the pen in his hand and inserted it back into the pen holder.
His voice carried a hint of coldness, like a piece of ice and snow on the peak of the highest mountain, piercing the bone with its chill.
“My apologies, my apologies, Young Master Xie, it’s truly a coincidence and a matter of fate that my daughter and I could meet you.” Su Qin quickly turned to look at Su Zhiwan, waved, and said, “Ruanruan, come over quickly, let Dr. Xie—Young Master Xie, take a look at you.”
After that, Su Qin returned his gaze to Xie Yanshang. Before, he had harbored doubts about this Dr. Xie’s medical skills, but upon learning that this person was Xie Yanshang, even his tone and attitude underwent a dramatic change.
Su Zhiruan might not know, but as someone who had struggled in the business world for years, he was naturally well-acquainted with distinguished families and their heirs.
Perhaps Xie Yanshang didn’t know who he was at this moment, but he was well-versed in everything about Xie Yanshang. After Su Zhiruan sat down, he added with eyes filled with expectation, “I had previously heard of Young Master Xie’s great reputation. They say that hearing it a hundred times can’t compare to seeing it once. Today, upon meeting you, I realize that you are indeed a young talent. So young, yet already a doctor, and when I previously took my daughter for treatment, I also heard other doctors speaking highly of you!”
Xie Yanshang frowned, taking Su Qin’s series of compliments as if they were nothing but breeze past his ears, his gaze entirely focused on Su Zhiruan.
The moment he saw the girl, he felt she was truly too thin.
Too thin! freēwēbηovel.c૦m
