Volume 1, Chapter 5: A Sudden Explosion: The Master of Medicine!

Page 1/3

The two of them huddled together for warmth as the elevator came to a stop. Inside, it was crowded again, with several migrant workers covered in dust and sweat, exuding an unpleasant odor.

Xie Anyue waved her hand in disgust and turned her gaze to the next elevator.

That elevator had been empty all along, just right for them to take.

Just as Xie Anyue was about to pull Xu Yun inside, they were stopped.

A young nurse pressed the elevator button and forbade them from entering.

“Sorry, this elevator is only for SVIP privilege members.”

The implication was clear—they were not worthy.

Hearing such ridicule, the mother and daughter from the Xie family were not offended; instead, they accepted it wholeheartedly.

“See, our family still doesn’t stand high enough. If we were one of the Four Great Families, there’d be no problem at all.”

At the mention of the great clans, Xie Anyue’s expression became dreamy and longing.

She had once thought her family was already wealthy, but compared to those great houses, they were nothing.

With that thought, she yearned even more to marry into the Fu family.

For the rest of her life, she would live in luxury and wield influence over the entire capital. Then, she vowed to make that despicable Chu Mian pay!

Lost in her daydream, the SVIP elevator dinged and stopped on this floor.

The elevator doors opened, and the first person to step out was the hospital director.

Behind him came a tall, handsome young man—none other than Chu Xian.

He wore understated punk attire, his tall frame and sun-kissed wheat-colored face framed by mischievous phoenix-like eyes that held the pride of noble upbringing.

He exuded a roguish charm, exactly the type of young man the girls adored nowadays.

Xie Anyue stared unblinkingly, silently screaming in her heart, “So handsome!”

She had thought Fu Xing was good enough, but compared to this young man, he was not even worthy to carry his shoes!

Xu Yun tugged her daughter’s sleeve, signaling her to step aside and make way for them.

SVIP big shots were not to be provoked!

Thinking this, Xu Yun and Xie Anyue watched eagerly but noticed the director and Chu Xian didn’t walk away—they stood in the corridor, as if waiting for someone.

Their status was already high enough to command such patience.

She dared not imagine how prestigious the person they awaited must be.

Everyone began to speculate about whom the director and the third young master of the Chu family were waiting for.

Under the collective, breath-held gaze, a tall woman stepped out of the elevator.

Chu Mian walked out calmly, her mind occupied with the emergency patient’s condition. Her expression was cold and serene, naturally drawing all eyes.

At that moment, Xie Anyue’s eyes widened, and she involuntarily screamed aloud,

“Chu Mian? What are you doing here?!”

Chu Mian hadn’t expected to meet them here either and frowned.

But Xie Anyue and Xu Yun, as if scalded cats, charged forward:

“You’re no longer part of the Xie family! I warn you, go back to your rural hometown and stay away from us!”

The director’s eyes widened in shock.

Was this family mad to speak so boldly to such a distinguished guest?

Chu Xian’s face darkened instantly upon hearing this, glaring fiercely at Xu Yun and Xie Anyue.

“Hmph, so these two are the Xie family members who bullied my sister.”

Good, now he had them remembered.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, the director quickly stepped forward to intervene and explain.

“Miss Chu is our specially appointed expert. These two paid ten million to bring her in for this surgery!”

Xu Yun and Xie Anyue froze, staring at Chu Mian in disbelief.

That wretched girl actually possessed such skill?

Chu Xian shielded his sister behind him, his handsome face stern and cold.

“If you dare take one step forward, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Scolded like this, Xie Anyue felt deeply wronged.

Chu Xian then turned and gently looked at Chu Mian.

“We’re not doing this surgery anymore. Let’s go home.”

He wanted no part in delaying family reunion time by operating on a traitor!

The director wiped his cold sweat and hurried to stop them.

“Miss Chu, the patient is critically ill. Please reconsider...”

Chu Mian shook her head and gently pulled her brother’s hand away.

“I already promised.”

Having committed to the hospital beforehand, she could not go back on her word.

Chu Xian was furious but chose to respect his sister’s decision.

Meanwhile, Xu Yun and Xie Anyue were miserable, glaring at Chu Mian with suspicion and hostility.

They refused to accept that the once-disowned fake heiress had now transformed into a medical expert!

Impossible! It must be a conspiracy!

Seeing the family stubbornly refuse to let go, the director frowned and warned,

“Mr. Xie is on the verge of death. If you delay any longer, be careful of the consequences!”

Xie Zhixing was the head of the family and the main breadwinner.

Frightened, Xu Yun gritted her teeth and finally ordered her daughter to step aside.

Xie Anyue stiffened her neck, relentless, and warned sharply,

“Chu Mian, I warn you, do a proper job on my father’s surgery! If anything happens to him, I won’t let you off!”

Chu Mian glanced coldly at them without responding.

A doctor’s heart was kind; she would never gamble with life over personal grudges.

Chu Mian entered the operating room with the director. Soon, the red light flickered on, signaling the start of the surgery.

Chu Xian, mindful that it was mealtime, went downstairs to personally bring his sister some food.

Xu Yun and Xie Anyue were left standing, waiting, feeling miserable.

Not just because of Chu Mian’s identity.

But also because their disgraceful behavior had caused a scandal.

The incident had taken place in the surgical area, where the visitors to Saint Capital Hospital were either rich or noble. All had witnessed the Xie family’s tantrum and were now gossiping fervently.

“Such poor manners! Who are these people?”

“Looks like the Xie family... That must be the youngest daughter of the Xie family. She was negotiating marriage with the Fu family recently but is so uncultured.”

“Oh my, does the Fu family know? Questioning the hospital’s specially appointed expert is so embarrassing.”

Surrounded by whispers, Xu Yun and Xie Anyue dared not vent their anger in front of the elites, but their faces showed no smiles.

Especially Xie Anyue.

Spoiled since childhood, bullying boys and girls alike, now enduring this humiliation, she clenched her jaw tightly.

Glancing at Chu Xian beside her, his face so handsome yet just now fierce with Chu Mian.

“Why? Why does the whole world side with Chu Mian!”

Xie Anyue threw herself into Xu Yun’s arms, biting her lip and about to curse loudly.

“Chu Mian, you wretch! Wretch!”

They had cursed her many times before, but now Chu Xian, just returned, had heard everything clearly.

In an instant, his face darkened.

To dare curse his sister in broad daylight—he didn’t even know how much she had suffered at the Xie house!

And just now, he had been thinking of giving them five hundred million?

Thinking of this made Chu Xian even angrier.

Luckily, they looked down on others and refused the money.

Now, it was time to settle the score properly.

Chu Xian’s face was dark as he was about to step forward, but then the surgical light switched from red to green.

The surgery was over. Chu Mian and the director pushed open the door.

Chu Xian immediately approached with the food, noticing the obvious fatigue etched on their faces, but the director’s also bore deep respect.

“Dr. Chu is truly a national expert. Her emergency handling of unexpected complications surpassed even this old man here.”

Chu Mian was still tense, just relaxing slightly and yet to speak when Xu Yun rushed over, launching into a barrage of curses.

“You jinx! How could my husband’s surgery have complications? Was it deliberate?”

Chu Xian strode forward, shielding his sister.

But Xu Yun and Xie Anyue seized upon any fault and unleashed their fury on Chu Mian.

“You’re definitely taking revenge! Sabotaging on purpose!”

“I should have let you freeze and starve to death in the orphanage when we had the chance!”

The director was cornered, his face darkening.

He had never seen such a vicious family. He threw down the medical records.

“Why don’t you explain why the patient’s chart didn’t mention herpes?”

There was almost massive bleeding!

If not for Dr. Chu’s timely intervention, it would have been a disaster.

While the director still shuddered in relief, Xu Yun’s eyes widened suddenly.

“Herpes? My husband could never have herpes!”

Oh dear.

Chu Xian blinked and exchanged a glance with his sister.

Well, this just got interesting.
