Ch. 71..80

Chapter 71: The Paternity Test Results Are Out Soon, the two arrived at the hospital.

Ye Chuyi got out of the car and realized that Sheng Tingyuan was actually following her into the elevator, “Why aren’t you leaving?”

“I’m accompanying you to work, when you’re finished, it’s convenient to take you home.”

Ye Chuyi’s calm facade shattered, and she was somewhat falling apart, “The Sheng Family’s conglomerate is so big, can’t you go do some real work? If there’s really nothing to do, you can go home and sleep, you woke up so early today, aren’t you tired?”

Every time Sheng Tingyuan saw her on the brink of collapse, he felt a perverse satisfaction, “I’m not tired, and if I really get tired, I’ll just take a nap in your office.”

Ye Chuyi blocked the elevator door to prevent it from closing, then pushed Sheng Tingyuan out of the elevator, “I don’t want others to know I’m married to you, so stop coming here!”

Sheng Tingyuan frowned, “Do you think I’m not fit to be seen?”

Ye Chuyi didn’t answer, constantly pressing the close door button; once the elevator doors shut, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when the elevator reached its destination and the door opened again, Ye Chuyi was surprised to see the person waiting outside her office, “Ye Ziran? What are you doing here?”

“I came to see the place where my sister works, is that not okay?”

Ye Chuyi unlocked her office door, “Come in then!”

Ye Ziran took his time entering her office with his hands in his pockets.

After looking around, he scoffed suddenly, “My sister would never choose to be a doctor, she studied art and painting, which has nothing to do with this. Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”

“It won’t be exposed, if that’s what you’re here for, then you can leave with confidence.”

Sheng Tingyuan could not even clearly remember Ye Shuangyin’s name and face, let alone know what she studied.

But Ye Ziran did not leave, he leaned against the wall, gazing at Ye Chuyi; after staring for a long time, he finally spoke, “The paternity test results between you and my dad have come out.”noveldrama

Ye Chuyi looked back blandly, “So, I am your father’s illegitimate daughter?”

Ye Ziran didn’t speak, only involuntarily furrowed his brow.

Why was she also so indifferent? After the paternity test results came out, he first sought out Ye Zhengrong, who also appeared nonchalant as if confident that nothing would come of it.

Could both of them really be unaware of the truth? Was Ye Chuyi’s arrival at the Ye Family just a coincidence?

If they didn’t know, should he still puncture this bubble of ignorance?

Ye Chuyi watched him standing there with a fluctuating expression and couldn’t help but shake her head.

Ye Ziran had dyed his hair back to black and was wearing a suit for the wedding he was attending, with his fair complexion and exquisite, sharp features, he was indeed looking quite dashing. The genes of the Ye Family were excellent; just a little effort, and he could charm countless young girls.

“I need to work now, aren’t you leaving?”

Ye Ziran gave her a deep look and left.

He walked out of the hospital building, pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, stared at it for a long while, then took out his phone and called, “Fo Ying, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with the paternity test you provided?”

“Of course, there’s no mistake, I’ve been interning at the paternity test center for a month now, performing tests with ease. There’s no way I could screw up! Ziran, you’re not thinking of backing out on our deal, are you? We had an agreement that if I helped you with the test, those limited edition sneakers would be mine.”

“Alright, they’re yours, just be careful when you wear them, I never even brought myself to wear them.”

“Got it, I’ll go to your place to pick up the shoes now!”

Ye Ziran disconnected the call, crumbled the paternity report into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.

He then got into his sports car and drove off with a roar.

Sheng Tingyuan stepped out from behind a pillar, watching the sports car disappear at the hospital’s entrance, he commanded his bodyguard, “Pick it up.”

The bodyguard promptly went to rummage through the trash bin, retrieved the crumpled paper, smoothed it out, wiped it, and handed it to Sheng Tingyuan.

Chapter 72 An Huadong Retires Sheng Tingyuan glanced at it, and the DNA test report indicated: “Sample A is confirmed to be the biological daughter of Sample B.”

However, the report did not specify the detailed information of Samples AB, nor did it include any names.

Sheng Tingyuan found it strange, for whom was Ye Ziran conducting this paternity test? And why did he bring this paternity test to Ye Chuyi? Could it be that he doubted Ye Zhengrong was not Ye Chuyi’s daughter?

He shook his head, tossed the report back into the trash can, got into the car, and started to send a message to Doctor Anxin.

Anxious: “For the brain tumor resection surgery, are you confident in its success?”

Anxin: “I can only promise to do my best.”

Anxious: “How old are you? What year did you graduate?”

Anxin: “26 years old, just graduated this year.”

Reading this answer, Sheng Tingyuan couldn’t help but feel disappointed. She was too young, a doctor so young probably only in their internship stage, even if she was An Huadong’s granddaughter, how much experience could she have with major surgeries?

He was considering reaching out to An Huadong to perform the surgery on his mother when he saw a pop-up notification at the top of his phone: “Medical authority An Huadong announces retirement, will no longer perform any surgeries in the future.”

Clicking on the news, he saw that An Huadong had trained many excellent students in recent years and that there were students who had already taken over his mantle, capable of independently completing many major surgeries.

In the comments section, apart from the cries not wanting An Huadong to retire, nearly all other comments revolved around the topic of “Doctor Anxin.”

“I guess that student who took over Director An’s mantle must be Doctor Anxin, right?”

“Definitely Doctor Anxin, she is Director An’s own granddaughter. Director An would surely teach her all he knows. I heard even Dome Hospital will be handed over to her in the future!”

“But I heard Director An never married in his life. Where did he get a granddaughter?”

“Can’t a bachelor have a granddaughter? My friend works at Dome Hospital, he told me himself that Doctor Anxin is Director An’s granddaughter. How could that be fake?”

“Doctor Anxin is really amazing, she cured my grandmother’s illness. While I was with my grandmother in the hospital, I also heard others say she is Director An’s granddaughter.”

“Exactly, it was Doctor Anxin who cured my father, and when I went to Dome, I also heard this rumor.”

Sheng Tingyuan read the comments for a long time, eventually turned off his phone, and ordered the bodyguard to drive: “To Medical University.”

The bodyguard acknowledged and took him to Medical University.

Sheng Tingyuan arrived at an auditorium and saw An Huadong, who was teaching a class.noveldrama

The classroom was packed, clearly some students had seen the news too; someone raised their hand to ask, “Teacher, are you really retiring? You won’t perform surgeries anymore? You won’t teach us either?”

An Huadong said solemnly, “I’m old; my eyes aren’t that good anymore, my hands are no longer steady. For the safety of the patients, I really won’t be performing surgeries anymore.”

“However, I’m only retiring from the hospital. In the university, I will not retire. I’ll continue lecturing you, teaching you. So don’t think any of you can escape the homework I assigned!”

Once he finished speaking, he noticed Sheng Tingyuan appear at the back door of the classroom and waved for him to come out.

Because of his gesture, all the students in the classroom looked back.

After seeing Sheng Tingyuan, there was a slight disturbance in the classroom.

“Who is that? He’s so handsome!”

“Must be a movie star, such an extraordinary aura!”

“Is he here for Teacher An? Could he be Teacher An’s grandson?”

“The news only mentioned the teacher has a granddaughter, not that he also has a grandson!”

 

Chapter 73 Meeting with Doctor Anxin An Huadong could not even carry on with his lecture and had to walk to the back door, pushing Sheng Tingyuan out of the classroom, then slammed the door shut with a “bang”.

He didn’t go to find Sheng Tingyuan until after the class was over.

As he approached, he saw a bold female student from his class step forward to ask Sheng Tingyuan for his phone number.

However, Sheng Tingyuan’s simple response, “I’m married,” made the girl’s face turn crimson as she retreated.

An Huadong, frustrated at his student’s lack of focus, scolded, “Your heads are filled with nothing but useless romantic fluff all day long. How many times have I said it, you should channel all your energy into medicine; someday patients’ lives will be in your hands!”

The girl’s flushed face instantly turned pale, and she hurriedly ran off.noveldrama

An Huadong then began to express his displeasure to Sheng Tingyuan, “What are you doing at our school? Even if you come, can’t you wear a mask? These kids at school are still immature and can easily be distracted by your face!”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t care whether others were distracted by him; he was only concerned about his mother’s life, “I came here to request that you personally perform surgery on my mom.”

“I’ve already told you I’m retiring, I won’t be performing surgeries anymore.”

“My mom’s case won’t make a difference, you can retire after completing this surgery.”

An Huadong glared at him, “If I could do it, don’t you think I would? The difficulty of your mom’s surgery is extremely high, and at seventy, my eyesight isn’t what it was; finding blood vessels is a struggle, and if the surgery fails, it would be a stain on my reputation and your mom’s life would be at risk!”

“Although there’s a chance you might fail, compared to others, your likelihood of failure is the lowest.”

“Didn’t I tell you I have a student who could also perform the surgery on your mom? Her chance of failure is even lower than mine-why won’t you believe it?”

“She’s too young, I don’t feel comfortable with that.”

“I’m too old, yet you’re comfortable with me?”

“If you take the lead, the ten billion donation will be transferred immediately.”

“Even if you gave me the entire Shengling Group, I wouldn’t be able to perform the surgery!”

An Huadong looked at him with exasperation, “Either let my student perform the surgery on your mom, or find someone else. There is no third option!”

After saying that, he walked away in a huff, muttering, “To think he’d look down on my student, hmph, with her steady hands, no one could perform the surgery more perfectly than her!”

Watching him leave, Sheng Tingyuan felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

Could he really let Anxin perform the surgery on his mother?

If it were him, he wouldn’t hesitate to take a gamble, but this was his mother’s last chance, and he had to be extremely cautious.

He reopened the chat interface with Doctor Anxin and contacted her again, “Is it possible to meet and talk?”

Doctor Anxin, “Sure, you can come to the hospital to find me. However, I’m about to perform a surgery soon, so you might have to wait for a while. How about tomorrow?”

“Today, which office is yours?”

“Building B, Room 602.”

Sheng Tingyuan was startled—the office number was Ye Chuyi’s. An absurd thought suddenly arose in his mind: could Ye Chuyi be Doctor Anxin?

No, impossible!

He quickly inquired, “How many people are in your office?”

“Two people, why?”

“Nothing.”

Sheng Tingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and then felt somewhat self-mocking. What was he thinking just now? How could Ye Chuyi possibly be Doctor Anxin? Setting aside the fact that she couldn’t be Director An’s granddaughter, just in terms of medical skill alone, she couldn’t be capable of performing tumor surgeries.

Chapter 74 Her Specialty is Brain Tumors Ye Chuyi sent the message and was about to change into her scrubs for surgery, but she was suddenly notified by the operating room that today’s surgery had been canceled.

The patient hadn’t followed the doctor’s orders and ate a big bowl of beef noodles before the surgery.

Ye Chuyi shook her head; every time they emphasized the importance of fasting before surgery, and every time there were people who didn’t listen.

She decided to just wait in her office for her senior fellow disciple’s neighbor to meet her.

However, she didn’t wait for her senior fellow disciple’s neighbor, but her good husband arrived instead.

When Sheng Tingyuan walked in, her eyelids twitched, “Why are you here again? I’m not off work yet. You’re not coming to pick me up and take me home now, are you?”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t respond to her and sat down on the sofa on his own.

He glanced at the empty desk beside him, piled with books and various materials, a sign of someone who seriously worked—the desk likely belonged to Doctor Anxin.

He then looked towards Ye Chuyi, who was steeping tea in a glass cup, with a pile of chocolates and other snacks on her desk, looking completely at ease and lightly said, “Do you just drink tea and play with your phone in the office every day? Being a doctor can be so relaxing, not having a single patient. You must be the first.”

Ye Chuyi: “…”

She retorted, “No matter how easygoing I am, I’m not as laid-back as you. An heir who doesn’t act like one, wandering around idly all day, not working. It’s no wonder the Sheng Family wants to form a marriage alliance with the Ye Family. Probably afraid you’ll squander the family fortune.”

“I am working. The Sheng Family’s fortune won’t be squandered.”

“You’re even more idle than I am. When do you work?”

“When you can’t see me.”

Ye Chuyi was speechless; he really dared to give himself too much credit.

She and he had been taking turns undermining each other for over half an hour when a phone call finally interrupted them.

Sheng Tingyuan answered the call, and his expression changed slightly, “I’ll be right back.”

Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but ask him, “What’s happened?”noveldrama

Sheng Tingyuan walked out while saying, “My mother is vomiting uncontrollably, and her nosebleed won’t stop.”

Driven by her doctor’s instincts, Ye Chuyi followed, “Let me come with you to have a look!”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t refuse, and took her home with him.

By the time they got back, Tang Jin had stopped vomiting, and her nosebleed had stopped after a long time of icing.

She lay weakly on the bed, relieved to see the young couple back together, “When Uncle Xiang called, the two of you were together, right? That’s good, a couple should spend more time together.”

Sheng Tingyuan, seeing her face pale as paper, said in a low voice, “Mom, let’s still go to the hospital. I’ll find you the best doctor and have another surgery.”

“I don’t want to go to the hospital, and I don’t want to have the surgery. I’m fine as is.”

Tang Jin had always refused Sheng Tingyuan’s repeated suggestions to have another surgery before.

First, she didn’t want to suffer through it again, and second, she knew the chances of surgery success were low. If the surgery failed, she could become comatose or even pass away.

She wanted to see her son and daughter-in-law clearly, even if she couldn’t see their children born, at the very least, she wanted to witness their genuine, sweet love.

“That’s enough, you two don’t need to stick around me. I’m fine. You go do what you need to, better yet, go on a honeymoon to a scenic place before coming back.”

Ye Chuyi turned to look at Sheng Tingyuan, and seeing him nod, followed him out.

As they descended the stairs, she couldn’t help asking Sheng Tingyuan, “What illness does she have? Why won’t she go to the hospital?”

“Brain tumor. She had surgery before, and for a long time after that, she lost her sense of taste and sight. Only after another surgery did she recover, but then she became uncoordinated and had to use a wheelchair. It took her half a year of care before she could walk a bit.”

Ye Chuyi understood; it was the serious postoperative complications that made Tang Jin fearful.

However, she was a doctor specializing in tumors, with expertise in brain tumors!

She stood up resolutely, “I’ll go convince her. She can have surgery at our hospital. We have the most top-notch equipment and doctors.”

Chapter 75: Can You Really Recover? Sheng Tingyuan had never seen her so serious and earnest before, he was surprised at her concern for her mother, “Do you think you can persuade her?”

“How will I know if I don’t try?”

Ye Chuyi looked at Sheng Tingyuan, “I can feel that mom is a bit partial towards me, perhaps she’ll listen to what I say?”

After saying this, she immediately went upstairs to Tang Jin’s room.

Sheng Tingyuan fell silent for a moment, then followed upstairs and stood outside the door, listening to the two of them talk.

He heard Ye Chuyi say in a very gentle voice, “Mom, do you know I’m a doctor?”

Tang Jin laughed, “Xiaoyi, you want to persuade me to go to the hospital, right? To convince me, you even changed your job to a doctor? I remember your mom saying that you studied art.”

“Oh, you heard wrong, my mom must have said I studied medicine.”

“Really? Could it be that I heard wrong?”

“Of course, it’s true, I really am a doctor at Dome Hospital! The doctors at our hospital are incredibly skilled. You should come to our hospital for the surgery, I guarantee you’ll receive the best treatment.”

“Forget about it. I know you’re filial, but I’m really worn out by all this. Going through surgery once was like losing half my life, and now I don’t even have half a life left, I can’t handle it anymore.”

“Mom, I’m a doctor, this time you have to listen to me. Before, losing half a life to surgery was because their skills weren’t good enough, our hospital has a grandmaster of medicine. If you go, you’ll only gain life, not lose it.”

Tang Jin was amused by her words, “Gain life, too?”

“Yes, you are so young. The probability of success for the surgery is very, very high. Don’t worry. For the doctors at our hospital, your condition isn’t very difficult. Once the surgery is successful, you’ll be able to get out of bed and walk around. When Tingyuan and I have a child, you’ll have completely recovered by then, and you can help us look after the baby!”

“I really do hope I can help you look after the baby.”

“Then let’s go through with the surgery, Mom. Trust me, your body will definitely be better after the surgery than it is now. You can recover!”

“Can I really recover?”

“Really!”

“Then… maybe I should give it a try?”

“Mom, you’ve made a very wise and correct decision!”

Outside the door, Sheng Tingyuan was somewhat shocked, she managed to persuade her with a mix of cajoling and deceit!

He had tried to persuade her many times before, but Tang Jin was always unwilling to go to the hospital. Could it be because Ye Chuyi spoke with such boundless confidence, giving Tang Jin the courage to try again?

When he had tried to persuade before, he had not been as positive and active as she was, and he had even less faith in the surgery.

A moment later, Ye Chuyi came out and saw him at the door, showing no surprise.

She gently closed the bedroom door and whispered, “Let her rest at home for tonight and take her to our hospital tomorrow for a comprehensive check-up. Don’t worry about the surgery, it will be successful.”

Sheng Tingyuan was amazed, where did she get the confidence that her mother’s surgery would be successful?

She spoke so confidently, so assuredly, not only did Tang Jin believe it, but even he was almost convinced.

He shook his head, perhaps she didn’t know how serious his mother’s condition was, or how difficult or risky the surgery would be. She was fearlessly confident due to her ignorance.

However, she had managed to get her mother willing to cooperate, willing to go to the hospital, which was already great. He had even considered forcibly taking his mother to the hospital.

“Thank you.”

“No need to mention it, but if you really want to thank me, then let me have your bedroom for tonight.”

Sheng Tingyuan didn’t speak, tacitly agreeing to her request.

That night, she indeed didn’t leave. She not only joined Tang Jin for dinner but also talked with her for a good while since Tang Jin was still somewhat fearful of going to the hospital.

Only after Tang Jin had fallen asleep did she return to the bedroom.

Sheng Tingyuan then slept in the next room.

There were actually many bedrooms in the house, but only his was the best decorated. She indeed knew what was best. She wouldn’t settle for the guest room; she only wanted the best.noveldrama

The next morning, the two of them took Tang Jin to Dome Hospital together.

Ye Chuyi asked Sheng Tingyuan to wait with Tang Jin in her office, while she took Tang Jin’s ID card and directly registered for an appointment under her own name.

Chapter 76: It turns out he is “Panic Then, Ye Chuyi and Sheng Tingyuan accompanied Tang Jin to undergo an MRI and various other examinations.

After the examinations were complete, they returned to Ye Chuyi’s office.

She sat in front of the computer and first looked at the MRI images.

After viewing them, she was stunned. Weren’t these the same as the ones her senior brother Chi Cheng’s neighbor had given her?

It was impossible for two patients to have tumors that looked exactly the same.

So, her senior brother’s neighbor was actually Sheng Tingyuan?

No wonder he had suddenly come to her office yesterday afternoon and later texted her, saying he had to leave because of some urgent matter.

So he was “Frantic”.

Ye Chuyi looked down at the WeChat nickname and then back up at Sheng Tingyuan’s face, which was calm and composed. She really wanted to ask him where exactly he fit the word “Frantic”.

It was all because he had chosen such a random nickname that she had never thought it might be him.

Clearly, Sheng Tingyuan didn’t think she fit the word “Anxin” either, so he also never considered her.

If he knew she was Doctor Anxin, he’d probably have taken Tang Jin away immediately, never allowing her to perform the surgery on Tang Jin.

After all, he thought she was the young mistress of the Ye Family, believing she was uneducated, never glanced at a medical book, had no understanding of medicine, had no patients, and only knew how to spend her days drinking tea and playing with her phone.

Seeing that Ye Chuyi’s expression turned somewhat strange after she finished viewing the images, Tang Jin couldn’t help but ask her, “Xiaoyi, has my condition worsened? Is it that the surgery won’t be successful?”

Ye Chuyi smiled at her, “What are you talking about? There’s been no worsening. The conditions for the surgery are quite favorable, it will definitely be successful, don’t worry!”

A glimmer of joy appeared on Tang Jin’s anxious face, “Really?”

“Really!”

Sheng Tingyuan frowned as he watched her, speaking so confidently as if she truly understood. He even doubted whether she could understand the MRI images.

However, she had managed to bamboozle her mother into a state of stunned compliance. Now her mother seemed much more relaxed, even her tightly clenched hands had loosened.

Hmm, she wasn’t entirely useless after all.

While Ye Chuyi was reassuring Tang Jin, Sheng Tingyuan took the opportunity to send a message to “Doctor Anxin”.

“I brought my mom to the hospital. She’s in your office right now. Come take a look at her new scans. I still want to know how high the success rate of your surgery would be.”

It took quite a while before Anxin replied, “Okay, I’ll come take a look soon.”

Under Ye Chuyi’s arrangements, Tang Jin was quickly settled into a VIP ward.

Dome Hospital was already a top-tier private hospital, and its VIP wards were built to the standards of a five-star hotel, with excellent facilities. Tang Jin was quite satisfied with the ward but couldn’t help feeling wary since she had not yet met her chief surgeon.noveldrama

To alleviate her doubts, Ye Chuyi directly went to An Huadong’s office to ask him to give the patient some reassurance.

With such proactive involvement, this time An Huadong became suspicious, “In the past, I had to strong-arm you into taking patients, and you always complained that I was bossing you around too much. Why are you so eager to perform surgery today?”

Ye Chuyi had no choice but to explain her marriage to Sheng Tingyuan, and in great detail, she also explained how Sheng Tingyuan was unaware that she was Doctor Anxin.

After listening, An Huadong became so furious he banged the desk, almost ready to confront Sheng Tingyuan in the ward, “What? You married him? And he knows nothing about you after marriage? He clearly doesn’t take you seriously!”

Ever since he had taken her as his apprentice, he valued her as if she were a treasure, nurturing her with all his might. Fearing that she lacked experience, he wanted to arrange more surgeries for her but also worried that too many surgeries would wear her out. He really had worn his heart out over her.

And now, after Sheng Tingyuan married his cherished protégée, he considered her a useless person?

This was intolerable!

“No, I have to tell him just how extraordinary my apprentice really is!”

Ye Chuyi quickly stopped him, “Don’t rush to say that. Let’s wait until after I’ve performed the surgery on my mother-in-law. Just act as if you don’t know anything and visit the ward to give my mother-in-law some reassurance.”

Heartfelt pain flashed through An Huadong when he heard her repeatedly say “my mother-in-law”, “How did you end up married? Does your mother-in-law treat you well? Have they bullied you at all?”

Chapter 77 If she can’t, then no one can. Ye Chuyi couldn’t reveal the truth to her mentor, but she knew he genuinely cared about her and feared she was marrying someone inappropriate.

She reassured her teacher with a smile, “My mother-in-law is very good to me, and no one in the Sheng Family bullies me. You don’t have to worry, I’m not a child anymore, I know what I’m doing.”

An Huadong, however, looked at her skeptically, “Are you really not just marrying randomly to get back at your ex-boyfriend?”

“Of course not. I married into the Sheng Family; do you think I could just marry into it on a whim? What ex-boyfriend? I’ve long forgotten about him.”

“Do you like Sheng Tingyuan?”

“I do like him; he’s so handsome and so rich, I was attracted to him at first sight.”

Ye Chuyi said, lowering her voice, “Don’t you think his genes are excellent? If I have a child with him, the child will definitely be very smart and beautiful.”

Although An Huadong himself wasn’t married, he actually did want a child, so his medical skills could be passed on.

It was fortunate that he met a disciple like Ye Chuyi; otherwise, if no one fully learned his skills, he might have died with regrets.

So, he could understand Ye Chuyi’s desire to have a child.

“Alright then, as long as you have a clear plan for yourself. But don’t rush to have children. Wait and see; the Sheng Family is not an ordinary family. Even if you have a child, they might not be willing to raise it the way you want. You should first take good care of yourself.”

Ye Chuyi was touched; her teacher was indeed thinking about her well-being, afraid that she would be at a disadvantage.

However, the so-called having a child was just to fool the teacher; she didn’t plan to.

She felt guilty in her heart; now and then she used the child to deceive Tang Jin and now to fool her teacher. She really was a master at bluffing.

An Huadong quickly went to the VIP ward to comfort Tang Jin.

Ye Chuyi went back to her own office and sent a message to Sheng Tingyuan: “I’ve seen your mother’s film; the tumor hasn’t changed much. Her condition is operable, and it’s best to have surgery as soon as possible.”

Sheng Tingyuan: “What is your success rate for surgery?”

Ye Chuyi: “I’ve performed many similar operations in the past, and my success rate is 100%, I’ve never failed.”

Sheng Tingyuan: “What about my mother’s surgery?”

Ye Chuyi: “It won’t fail either.”

In the VIP ward.

Sheng Tingyuan was moved by Anxin’s reply.

She said it wouldn’t fail.

Her past success rate was actually 100%! Her medical expertise was exceptionally stable!

He turned to An Huadong, “Director An, is your student Anxin really that outstanding?”

An Huadong found him extremely unpleasing to the eye at that moment, “I snatched her from another academy, what do you think? Do you think she’s someone like you who easily climbed up with the backing of her family? Everything she has achieved today, she earned through relentless hard work and study. There’s no fluff in her excellence!”

“Can she really perform the surgery on my mother?”

“If she can’t, then no one can!”

An Huadong looked at Sheng Tingyuan with frustration. Questioning Ye Chuyi made him even angrier than being questioned himself, “She has never failed this kind of surgery! I’ve told you, her hands are very steady, she can perfectly remove the tumor without damaging the brain! If she performs surgery on your mother, there won’t be any of those complications from previous surgeries!”

Sheng Tingyuan looked towards Tang Jin, “Mom, what do you think?”

“Is the doctor Ye Chuyi recommended also this Dr. Anxin?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll follow Xiaoyi’s advice and choose Dr. Anxin!”

An Huadong finally felt a bit relieved, “See, your mother knows best. You still have a lot to learn.”

After speaking, he assured Tang Jin, “Don’t worry, Dr. Anxin is skilled and experienced. She can remove brain tumors even more steadily than me. With her leading the surgery, your trauma will be minimized, and your recovery will be swift.”noveldrama

Tang Jin was finally comforted and truly relaxed, “Thank you, Director, I’m reassured now.”

An Huadong nodded at her and left the ward.

After he left, Sheng Tingyuan sent Anxin another message, “I would like to see the records of your past surgeries, pre-op and post-op conditions.”

Chapter 78: Trading a Billion for Your Promise Anxin: “Sorry, I don’t have the right to disclose other patients’ privacy to you, but if you want to verify my past surgical success rate, you can ask my mentor An Huadong and my senior Chi Cheng. They would never deceive anyone in this regard.”

Sheng Tingyuan looked at her response for a long time without typing a word.

He had actually already verified it; both An Huadong and Chi Cheng said she was very steady and experienced, and she had never failed.

Tang Jin, lying in bed, suddenly said, “Tingyuan, when can I have the surgery? Is the doctor very busy? Can I get an appointment?”

Sheng Tingyuan was surprised, as this was the first time his mother had shown such eagerness and expectation for surgery since the previous two had failed.

Ye Chuyi really did have the ability; she had resolved a problem that he had been struggling with for so long in just one day.

He finally made up his mind, “You can get an appointment, and the surgery can be done very soon.”

He then messaged Doctor Anxin, “When can the surgery take place?”

Lin Chuyi saw Sheng Tingyuan’s message and knew he had finally decided to let her be the lead surgeon.

She replied to Sheng Tingyuan, “The patient’s condition should not be delayed any further; it would be best to operate today. Full anesthesia requires fasting for twelve hours; if this condition is met, I can perform the surgery immediately.”

Sheng Tingyuan: “She meets the requirement.”

Because she had come for a check-up this morning, after having dinner at six o’clock last night, Ye Chuyi hadn’t let Tang Jin eat anything more.

Sheng Tingyuan even felt somewhat relieved; fortunately, he had married a doctor. Although she was only a half-baked doctor, she had invisibly helped him greatly.

“All right, let’s proceed with the surgery. A nurse will come later to shave her hair and change her clothes.”

“I hope to witness the surgery.”

“No problem, we have a special surgery live-broadcast room. You can go there to watch the entire process. It’s a treatment originally available to the families of VIP patients in this hospital.”

Half an hour later, everything was ready, and Tang Jin was wheeled into the ward.

An Huadong, looking at Sheng Tingyuan standing outside, suddenly said, “Kid, I don’t want your billion anymore.”

Sheng Tingyuan’s expression subtly changed: “What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing much, I just want to exchange that billion for a promise from you.”

“What promise do you want?”

The future, no matter what happens, you must not make things difficult for my apprentice, Anxin.”

“Just that?”noveldrama

“Yes, just that.”

Sheng Tingyuan did not understand why An Huadong would suddenly change the condition right before the surgery: “If the surgery is successful, I will owe her a favor. I wouldn’t have made things difficult for her originally, so you don’t need to ask for a promise specifically for her unless you think this surgery could fail and want to secure insurance for her in advance.”

An Huadong glared at him in anger: “Nonsense, my apprentice Anxin cannot fail! I am securing insurance for her, but not because of this surgery!”

“Then why?”

“Because you’re foolish!”

Sheng Tingyuan was scolded for no apparent reason and was full of doubts.

Although An Huadong had never been warm to him before, he hadn’t been excessive either, but today, it seemed like An Huadong couldn’t stand the sight of him, constantly snapping at him.

“Director An, where have I offended you?”

“Ah, you finally realize you’ve offended me, and it’s truly no easy feat!”

An Huadong gave him another glare and walked away: “Why are you still standing there, you wanted to see the surgery process, didn’t you? This way!”

Sheng Tingyuan touched his nose and followed.

Ye Chuyi waited until Sheng Tingyuan had left before entering the operating room.

The anesthesiologist had already administered the anesthesia to Tang Jin, who lay silently on the operating table, unaware of who was about to perform the surgery on her.

Ye Chuyi was already dressed in a sterile gown, with a sterile cap and mask on.

She instructed her assistant, “Just turn on the close-up camera; don’t switch on the others.”

The close-up camera would fix on one position, only capturing the surgical field, and none of the medical staff would appear in frame.

Soon, the surgery began.

Sharp scalpel parted the scalp, Ye Chuyi was fully focused; having located the tumor, she began the most delicate part of the dissection.

It was a long and tedious process.

Chapter 79: I Want to Thank Her in Person In the live broadcast room.

Sheng Tingyuan had been watching the surgical footage for an entire hour.noveldrama

He finally understood what An Huadong meant when he said that Doctor Anxin’s hands were steady.

For such a prolonged operation, the doctor’s hands in the footage remained as steady as they were at the beginning, without the slightest tremor or deviation, not a bit, unbelievably stable as if they weren’t human.

The brain is the most precise and complex organ in humans, and perfectly peeling off a tumor that has grown into brain tissue is an immensely difficult task.

During the entire process, any minute deviation could mean the patient may never wake up again.

Therefore, the doctor’s experience is very important, and so is the steadiness of their hands.

An Huadong was also watching the live footage. Although he had seen Ye Chuyi perform surgery countless times, each time, he felt she was creating a miracle.

When he had recruited her from the nursing college to the medical school, it was her hands he had seen potential in.

Agile, steady, never trembling under any amount of pressure.

He spoke softly, “Did you know? She was born to be a doctor, she has an exceptional talent, and she’s the most gifted student I’ve encountered in my fifty years of teaching.”

Sheng Tingyuan glanced at him, “I heard she’s your granddaughter, inheriting your talent?”

“Just rumors, she and I have no blood relation.”

Sheng Tingyuan was surprised, so Anxin wasn’t An Huadong’s granddaughter?

An Huadong gazed at the surgical footage, sighing, “Gifted and hardworking, never slacking, having such a student to carry on my legacy, I can die in peace. And you, meeting such a doctor, is an extremely fortunate affair.”

After watching for an hour, Sheng Tingyuan had also come to understand the level of Doctor Anxin.

It wasn’t his first time observing a surgery. He had watched Tang Jin in her previous two surgeries, and the two experts before had not had hands as steady as Doctor Anxin’s.

“It’s very fortunate, I thought you were boasting before, but now I see you weren’t, your student is indeed as excellent as you’ve said, perhaps even more so.”

An Huadong glared at him, “Hmph, as long as you know!”

His hostility still hadn’t dissipated, and Sheng Tingyuan still found it puzzling.

However, An Huadong soon left, not continuing to watch; the operation was too long, and he had other matters to attend to.

The surgery continued from eleven o’clock in the morning until four o’clock in the afternoon, lasting a full five hours.

And throughout those five hours, the doctor’s hands in the broadcast remained steady, and she truly managed to not harm the brain while perfectly removing the entire tumor.

Sheng Tingyuan was filled with deep respect; he felt exhausted just watching in the broadcast room, let alone how tired the person performing the surgery must be.

Yet under the high-intensity workload, she was still incredibly steady and patient.

He even noticed that the doctor didn’t let her assistant perform the final wound suturing; she did it herself.

Normally, the lead surgeon only performs the most difficult parts; simple wound suturing is done by the assistant.

He hadn’t expected this Doctor Anxin to be so responsible with his mother’s case.

In the operating room.

The surgery was coming to an end.

Normally, Ye Chuyi indeed didn’t suture wounds; this task was always performed by an assistant.

But today’s patient was too special, being her mother-in-law. Although she, as a daughter-in-law, was an imposter, Tang Jin truly cherished her and treated her well, so she personally did the suturing.

After suturing the incision, Ye Chuyi left the operating room, rushed to eat a piece of chocolate, and drank half a glass of water.

For the five hours of surgery, she didn’t eat or drink to avoid the need for a bathroom break.

By the time she had changed clothes, the assistants and nurses had already pushed Tang Jin back to the ward.

She drank another glass of water, then headed to the ward.

In the ward, Sheng Tingyuan stood by Tang Jin’s side. Seeing Ye Chuyi come in, he couldn’t help but ask, “You know Doctor Anxin, right? Isn’t she in the same office as you?”

Ye Chuyi answered without missing a beat, “Yes, I know her. What about it?”

“I watched the whole surgery and would like to thank her in person.”

“Oh, there’s no need. I’ve passed on the message for you.”

“When?”

“Just now.”

 

Chapter 80: The Surgery Was Very Successful The day after the surgery, Tang Jin woke up.

After a while, she was thrilled to discover that the constant feeling of nausea was gone and even her blurred vision had improved significantly, making everything much clearer.

“Tingyuan.”

“Mom, you’re awake. How do you feel?”

Tang Jin’s voice was full of excitement, “I feel like this surgery went better than any before! I’m not in pain, my head doesn’t hurt, and I’m not dizzy anymore. Before, I couldn’t sleep because of the headaches and dizziness made it impossible to walk.”

Sheng Tingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. His mother’s own feelings were the most truthful.

He said softly, “Mom, your surgery was very successful. The tumor has been completely removed, not a trace left. You won’t have to suffer from headaches and nausea ever again.”

Tang Jin’s eyes reddened, “That’s great. Xiaoyi’s recommended Doctor Anxin is truly amazing. Thanks to her, I’m finally starting to get better! Speaking of which, where is Xiaoyi?”

“She said you would probably wake up soon and went to make breakfast for you personally.”

“This child, so filial, she’s even more thoughtful towards me than you are!”

“Yes, she is.”

Sheng Tingyuan echoed the sentiment.

Of course, he didn’t think Ye Chuyi could be more filial than him, but she did indeed take great care with his mother. Unlike his pretense, she genuinely hoped for his mother’s illness to get better and was truly busy helping out.

He saw that although his mother had just woken up, her spirits seemed much better than before the surgery. The worry that had been hanging over him was finally put to rest.

He sent a message to Doctor Anxin, “My mom woke up. She says she’s feeling pretty good, and the surgery was effective. Thank you.”noveldrama

Anxin, “No need to thank me, it’s my duty.”

Sheng Tingyuan, “When will you be available? I’d like to thank you in person.”

Anxin, “No need.”

Just as that message came through, the door to the ward was pushed open.

Ye Chuyi walked in with a food container in hand.

She approached Tang Jin with a smile, “Mom, you woke up so quickly. It looks like the surgery was a success. You’ll recover soon.”

Tang Jin was delighted, “It’s because you found a good doctor for Mom. It really is different working at the hospital, knowing the doctors inside out. I didn’t take a wrong turn this time.”

“Well, Doctor Anxin is indeed good.”

Ye Chuyi boasted unabashedly, then opened the food container, “You’ve just woken up, so you can only have something light. I’ve made some porridge for you. Try it and see how my cooking is.”

“I smell the aroma of the porridge already; it must be quite good.”

Tang Jin was actually quite surprised, “I didn’t realize you knew how to make porridge. Did your mother teach you?”

How come she remembered Madam Ye once saying that her daughter had been pampered while growing up, with “hands that wouldn’t even touch water from a spring,” and devoid of any domestic skills?

“No, I just learned it casually.”

Ye Chuyi didn’t believe Madam Ye would teach her daughter culinary arts, so she brushed it off vaguely.

She raised the head of the bed, took a spoon, and began feeding Tang Jin the porridge.

After just a taste, Tang Jin praised, “Xiaoyi, this porridge you’ve made is really good. It’s both fragrant and sweet. To think you learned this casually, you seem to have quite the talent!”

Ye Chuyi laughed, “I don’t have any talent; you’re probably just really hungry after not eating for a while. Anything probably tastes good to you.”

She had been cooking for herself since she was five or six years old, and her culinary skills were actually quite average. Her own standards were simply to fill her stomach. As for flavor, she didn’t seek perfection.

But making porridge wasn’t difficult either; as long as the rice and water were good, the porridge would taste delicious and sweet.

After feeding Tang Jin the porridge, Ye Chuyi turned around to find Sheng Tingyuan eyeing her food container, “Don’t you have any for me?”

Ye Chuyi, “No.”

“So what am I supposed to eat?”

“You can have what the hospital cafeteria is serving. I only made breakfast for Mom; I didn’t make any for you.”

Sheng Tingyuan shook his head, “I knew it would be like this, so I asked Uncle Xiang to prepare breakfast for me in advance.”

A moment later, the butler indeed arrived with breakfast that was fragrant and steaming hot. Seeing this, Ye Chuyi swallowed reflexively, “Then I won’t eat from the cafeteria either. I want some of that.”
