Ch. 91..100
Chapter 91: Qi Hospital’s Reputation Skyrockets Sheng Tingyuan stood up and went to a cabinet to find iodine and cotton swabs.
He approached Ye Chuyi with the items in hand and sat down beside her on the sofa, “Why are you always holding onto that coconut, did it save your life? Put the coconut down, stretch out your hand.”
Ye Chuyi didn’t move.
Sheng Tingyuan took the coconut from her, grasped her wrist, and disinfected her wound.
Ye Chuyi gazed at him blankly, what he was doing now exceeded her understanding of him.
Wasn’t he really averse to her? Why did he now care about her wound?
Seeing his serious attitude while disinfecting, she couldn’t help saying, “It’s nothing, just a minor injury, it will heal quickly.”
“For a doctor of your caliber, hands are the most precious asset, any wound could affect the stability of your surgeries. The lives of your patients are in your hands, so, protect your own hands in the future, be responsible to yourself, be responsible to your patients.”
So, he was just worried it might affect her surgery, concerned that if Tang Jin got sick again, she wouldn’t be able to perform steadily?
“Don’t worry, this little injury won’t affect my surgery,” she assured him.
After Sheng Tingyuan finished disinfecting the wound, he found a tube of ointment and, after confirming its effect with Ye Chuyi, he applied it to her.
While applying, he asked, “Who injured you like this?”
Ye Chuyi hesitated before responding, “I accidentally scraped myself.”
“This isn’t a scrape, it looks more akin to a fingernail scratch.”
Ye Chuyi kept silent; she didn’t want to bring up Lin Yueqin, and she couldn’t bring her up—now her last name was Ye.noveldrama
The sound of knocking interrupted them; the assistant hurried in, “Doctor Anxin, you’re trending again!”
“What happened? I’m a doctor, not a celebrity, how could I be trending?”
“It’s about Qi Hospital!”
The assistant handed her the tablet: “The hospital has been using your name, claiming that from now on, you will be consulting at Qi Hospital, and that you are now their distinguished invited doctor!”
Ye Chuyi looked down to see the news praising Qi Hospital’s software and hardware facilities, while proclaiming that An Huadong’s heir Anxin had joined Qi Hospital as of that day and would be working hand in hand with them in the future.
She scoffed angrily, “They really dare to make this up! They had the nerve to purchase such a trending topic?”
The assistant anxiously replied, “What should we do? The public opinion is very unfavorable towards you. Qi Hospital had issues with providing medicines before, delaying many people’s treatment, and their reputation has plummeted. Now, many people who are unaware of the truth think you’re really going to Qi Hospital. They believe you’ve accepted their bribes to help them make unscrupulous money!”
“Doctor Anxin, why don’t you clarify on Weibo?”
Ye Chuyi’s voice was cold, “No clarification.”
“Huh?”
Even Sheng Tingyuan looked at her curiously, “Are you planning to let your ex-boyfriend off the hook? Or are you really going to help him?”
Ye Chuyi’s anger was raging, but she restrained herself and spoke calmly, “I do indeed plan to give him a hand, to help his hospital meet its doom faster.”
“What do you mean?”
“You’ll see what I mean.”
Three days later.
Qi Hospital’s fame skyrocketed, and the number of people seeking treatment there was five times greater than during their best days; the number of critically ill patients increased significantly. They paid high registration fees, all to see Doctor Anxin.
Consequently, Doctor Anxin’s reputation plummeted, with countless people berating her online.
Desperate, the assistant burst into the office, “Doctor Anxin, we can’t go on like this, do you know how much Qi Hospital is charging for registration fees under your name?”
“Nine thousand nine per person! Just for a registration fee, it’s nearly ten thousand! They’ve lost their minds, absolutely lost their minds, what’s the difference between this and robbery?”
“Our hospital’s appointments for you are booked a year in advance, but Qi Hospital claims that if you go to their hospital for surgery, there’s no need to wait, you can get the procedure immediately!”
“They are using your fame to make a fortune, in just three days, the number of patients that went to Qi Hospital for your consultation has surpassed ten thousand!”
Chapter 92: Sue Qi Hospital Ye Chuyi had just finished a surgery; four hours of intense work without food or water had left her both tired and hungry.
She peeled open a chocolate, popped it into her mouth to replenish her energy, and asked vaguely, “So you mean to say Qi Hospital made a billion in three days?”
The assistant, stomping her feet in frustration, said, “Far more than that! They’re also using your name to push patients to buy all kinds of expensive drugs. Someone has already exposed them; their drugs are high-copy, with very low cost and much worse efficacy than the real ones, yet they sell for ten times the price of the genuine drugs! You’ve been severely criticized because of this!”
Ye Chuyi slightly tugged at the corner of her lips, “On one hand, they ferociously criticize me, and on the other, they’re rushing to Qi Hospital to get my consultation and buy the so-called drugs I recommend. They must be quite ill, too.”
Seeing how Ye Chuyi had barely enough energy to sit and her complexion looking poor, the assistant quickly brought her a cup of goji berry and red date tea, “While you were in surgery just now, the hospital director came twice, and the chairman also visited once. They wanted me to ask if you really planned to help out at Qi Hospital?”
Ye Chuyi shook her head helplessly, “Haven’t I already re-signed my contract? I’ve sold my life to Dome; why are they still so needlessly worried?”
The assistant’s phone chimed softly, she checked it, and rolled her eyes, “Doctor Anxin, Ye Jinyu’s family has sent you another message. I’ve never seen a family so shameless!”
Ye Chuyi took her phone and glanced at it.noveldrama
“Doctor Anxin, my mother’s condition is getting worse. Please come to Qi Hospital quickly and perform surgery on her!”
“My mother used to be your patient; you must take full responsibility for her. Doctor Anxin, with such a strong sense of responsibility, you wouldn’t let her lose her precious life, right?”
“As long as you are willing to come to Qi Hospital for the surgery, our family can pay double the fee. Isn’t that a lot more than what you earn at Dome?”
“If you don’t come to Qi Hospital, I will expose you for secretly accepting red envelopes from our family. Once this kind of thing comes to light, your career will be over. Think carefully about it!”
Ye Chuyi felt a chill of sadness for Lady Wen as she read through these messages.
Lady Wen loved Wen Nianyou to the bone, but to ingratiate herself with Qi Yunfan and to marry into the Qi Family, Wen Nianyou ignored Lady Wen’s wellbeing and trapped her in Qi Hospital.
Wen Nianyou was well aware that no one in Qi Hospital could perform the complex craniotomy required, so she kept threatening her, even resorting to fabricating accusations of accepting red envelopes.
Yet, she adamantly refused to transfer Lady Wen to Dome for treatment.
Ye Chuyi handed the phone back to the assistant, took a sip of warm tea to regain a bit of strength, and then slowly sat up straight.
“It’s about time.”
“Eh? What do you mean it’s about time?”
“Qianqian.”
“What is it, Doctor Anxin?”
“Go and set up a Weibo account for me and publish an announcement. Tell everyone that I have no affiliation with Qi Hospital, I have never agreed to give consultations there, and I never will in the future.”
The assistant was overjoyed, “Got it, I’ll post on Weibo right now!”
“Also, contact our legal department and sue Qi Hospital for committing fraud under my name. Tell the legal department to demand ten times the amount deceived from Qi Hospital, or else the legal department staff shouldn’t bother asking me for medical care in the future.”
“Rest assured, Doctor Anxin, I will convey your message to the legal department without missing a word!”
“Furthermore, have all the official platforms of our hospital simultaneously release a legal statement demanding an immediate public apology from Qi Hospital for their fraudulent actions, and disclose the exclusive contract I have signed with the hospital.”
“No problem, I’ll contact the administration department right away!”
Chapter 93: Qi Hospital Earned Two Hundred Million in Three Days Qi Hospital.
The place was buzzing with human voices.
Inside the director’s office, with the window wide open, Hen Peizhu stood in front of it, looking out at the hospital’s parking lot packed full of cars, as well as the dense crowds of people coming and going, and nodded in satisfaction.
“Yunfan, you’ve done well this time. Look at our hospital’s popularity and traffic now, it’s definitely not inferior to top-tier hospitals like Dome,” she said.
Qi Yunfan smiled at Wen Nianyou beside him, “It’s all thanks to Youyou’s help that I could revive the hospital’s popularity so quickly. It was as quiet as it is bustling now. Youyou is my best wife.”
Wen Nianyou shook her head gracefully, speaking softly, “I’ve only helped Brother Yunfan with a little favor. The hospital’s current popularity and revenue still come from Brother Yunfan’s management. Brother Yunfan’s capabilities are beyond doubt; you are the most impressive one.”
Hen Peizhu turned her head to look at Wen Nianyou.
The more she looked at her daughter-in-law, the more she liked her: “Youyou truly is the great lady raised by a major clan, capable and with an extensive network, yet so modest and humble, never taking credit for herself. I always say, when marrying, one should marry a lady of equal social standing, not those low-born vixens that cannot be taken out in public.”
Wen Nianyou bowed her head respectfully, “You flatter me too much; I’m actually quite ordinary. I’m still trying to learn from you.”
Hen Peizhu was even more pleased. Now that Wen Nianyou was no stranger to the family, she said, “Do you two know how much money our hospital has made in these three days?”
Qi Yunfan had an idea but wanted to show off Qi Hospital’s power in front of Wen Nianyou, so he cooperated by asking, “How much?”
“A whole two billion!”
Qi Yunfan was surprised, “What? That much?!”
Wen Nianyou also lifted her head in astonishment. How much? Two billion? In three days?
A private hospital can actually be so profitable? No wonder Qi Yunfan is so generous; his family’s hospital is a money-making machine!
Her determination to marry into the Qi Family grew even stronger.
“Youyou, once your Uncle Qi returns from abroad, our two families will sit down together and formally discuss your and his wedding,” Hen Peizhu said.
Wen Nianyou clenched her hands tightly, her palms sweating with nervous excitement.
Madam Qi had finally approved of her! She could finally marry into the Qi Family!
She feigned modesty with a blush, “I’m not in a hurry, Aunt Hen; I’m still young!”
“Twenty-six isn’t that young. When I was your age, I had already given birth to Yunfan.”
Hen Peizhu’s face beamed with tenderness, “In the future, you need to support Yunfan, help him to grow, and expand and strengthen Qi Hospital. Eventually, everything of the Qi Family will belong to you two, understand?”
“I understand. Don’t worry; I will be a good wife and help Qi Hospital reach new heights,” Wen Nianyou replied confidently.
Hen Peizhu liked her sensibility. She returned to the window and continued to watch the thriving scene of Qi Hospital.
Seeing that she had turned around, Qi Yunfan’s face showed a trace of anxiety.
He tightly grabbed Wen Nianyou’s wrist and asked in a low voice, “When exactly will Doctor Anxin be able to come to our hospital? More than ten thousand people have already made appointments to see her, and I have been holding this off, but I can’t keep it under wraps for too long! Some people are seriously ill and need surgery urgently!”
Wen Nianyou was startled, “How could there be so many people? Doesn’t the hospital limit each doctor to a maximum of fifty patients per day? With ten thousand people, wouldn’t Doctor Anxin need more than half a year to see them all?”
“Don’t worry about how long it will take. You need to get Doctor Anxin to start consulting at our hospital as soon as possible! I’ve already put out the advertisement; if she doesn’t come, our hospital is finished!” Qi Yunfan pressed.noveldrama
“She will come; how could she not? It’s just that she’s too busy right now. Dome Hospital is fully booked, and she can hardly find time,” Wen Nianyou reassured.
“You once saved Doctor Anxin’s life, now quickly get her to save your mother’s life too, and by the way, see the other patients as well.”
“I know, I’ll press her again,” Wen Nianyou promised.
As they were whispering, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
The director’s assistant rushed in anxiously, “Director’s wife, there’s a big problem!”
Chapter 94 Qi Yunfan Get Out and Refund the Money! Hen Peizhu was displeased, “What’s the problem? Stop making a fuss!”
The assistant’s face was ashen, “Dome Hospital and Doctor Anxin are suing us!”
“What?!”
“Doctor Anxin has issued a statement. She said she has no affiliation with our hospital at all, and she has no idea where the rumors about her partnership with us came from. She never agreed to come to our hospital for consultations! Now, the whole internet is accusing our hospital of fraud! A bunch of people are demanding refunds!”
Hen Peizhu’s complexion turned pale as she turned to look at her son, “What’s going on?! Why did Anxin suddenly back out? Didn’t you say she had already agreed to come and supervise consultations?”
Qi Yunfan felt a darkness before his eyes, suddenly seized by a sense of impending doom.
He turned to look at Wen Nianyou, trembling slightly, “Wen Nianyou, why would Doctor Anxin sue us! Why?!”
Wen Nianyou was also in a panic. These past few days she had been sending threatening messages to Anxin, who hadn’t responded and continued to take care of Lady Wen’s health as she had always done. So Wen Nianyou felt confident in her hand; Anxin definitely wouldn’t abandon her patients and was sure to come to Qi Hospital.
She never expected Anxin, who had never shown a temper before, to suddenly explode and sue Qi Hospital!
She said in a hurry, “No, Brother Yunfan, how could I possibly deceive you? There must be some problem on Doctor Anxin’s side. Don’t be alarmed, I’ll go out and make a phone call to inquire about the situation.”
Qi Yunfan’s expression was dark and grim, “Then go now!”
Wen Nianyou, startled by his somber demeanor, hurried out of the office.
Just as she stepped out, she heard someone shouting outside, “Qi Yunfan, get out here! I want a refund! Your Qi Hospital is a fraud, the medicine is fake, the doctors are fake! You never invited Doctor Anxin at all! Qi Yunfan, get out here!”
Following this bout of angry cursing, a chorus of rage erupted from outside, “Qi Yunfan, get out here! Refund our money!”
Wen Nianyou felt an icy chill down her spine, her hands and feet trembling. This time, it seemed like things had gotten way out of hand.
If she couldn’t bring Doctor Anxin over to calm these people’s wrath, Qi Yunfan would certainly not let her off lightly.
She hurried out of the administrative building and headed toward the inpatient building. She could not rely on finding Doctor Anxin herself; she had to use Lady Wen’s phone and ask Anxin in the name of Lady Wen to make it work.
However, halfway there, she was stopped by someone.
“I remember you, you’re Qi Yunfan’s girlfriend. You were in his sports car yesterday, going out to have fun together! Where’s Qi Yunfan? Tell him to get out here!”
Wen Nianyou’s face turned white. These past few days, she had always been at Qi Yunfan’s side to assert her dominance and to experience the feeling of being pursued by countless people.
Because of Doctor Anxin, Qi Yunfan, the director’s son and the nominal deputy director, had received unprecedented attention, with many people trying to ingratiate themselves to him in hopes that Doctor Anxin would treat their family members.
Some people, seeing the two flaunting their relationship, were even shrewd enough to give Wen Nianyou gifts, asking her to speak well for them in front of Qi Yunfan.
She never expected that her high-profile romance just a few days ago would now become a double-edged sword that stabbed back at her!
Wen Nianyou covered her face and said, “You’ve got the wrong person, I don’t know Qi Yunfan,” as she ran anxiously toward Lady Wen’s ward.
“How dare you not acknowledge it? You accepted a Rolex Gold Watch from me just yesterday! It’s you! You’re Qi Yunfan’s girlfriend! Give me back my gold watch!”
“Right, that’s her, I recognize her! She also took my gift, but did not help me with anything!”
“Where’s Qi Yunfan? When he was taking our money a couple of days ago, he showed up every day, guaranteeing that Doctor Anxin would come for consultations. Now that he’s being sued by Doctor Anxin, he has become a turtle hiding in its shell?”
“You two are birds of a feather! You’re both frauds! Give us our money back!”noveldrama
Soon, a large crowd surrounded Wen Nianyou, and in their anger, some even began throwing eggs and stones at her head.
Wen Nianyou was utterly terrified. She had been raised in luxury, pampered in Lady Wen’s hands since childhood, and even if she made a grave mistake, Lin Chuyi would take the blame for her. She couldn’t understand why a little lie had turned into such a big incident this time.
She covered her head and screamed, crying as she tried to break through the crowd, but the angry patients and their families wouldn’t let her go, even pushing her to the ground and cursing her with the harshest words.
Chapter 95 You’re Not as Good as Chuyi Upstairs.
Qi Yunfan and Hen Peizhu stood by the window, watching the scene below. He frowned deeply, his face showing irritation, “Why isn’t she hurrying to contact Doctor Anxin instead of running around aimlessly!”
Hen Peizhu, consumed by rage, asked sharply, “Are you still counting on her? What are you standing there for? Call Doctor Anxin now!”
Qi Yunfan replied impatiently, “I don’t have Doctor Anxin’s number!”
“What did you say?!”
Hen Peizhu couldn’t believe it, “With such a critical situation, you actually didn’t liaise with Doctor Anxin personally? You just blindly trusted Wen Nianyou?”
“Are you an idiot? You believe anything she says? What if she’s lying to you?!”
A strong fear suddenly surged within Qi Yunfan’s heart. If Wen Nianyou really was lying, Qi Hospital could fall into an abyss from which it could not recover! The hospital, painstakingly built by three generations of the Qi family, could vanish into thin air because of his blind trust!noveldrama
He shook his head trembling, “No, that’s impossible, how could Youyou possibly lie to me, how could she dare to lie about something so serious?”
“Besides, she brought her mother to our hospital, and we don’t have any doctors who can perform surgery on her. If she can’t bring Doctor Anxin here, wouldn’t that be sentencing her mother to death?”
“Right, she will definitely be able to bring Doctor Anxin, our hospital will certainly be fine!”
Hen Peizhu was so angry she felt like exploding, “What time is it now, and you’re still depending on her and trusting her! Immediately contact Dome Hospital, and let’s go see Doctor Anxin in person!”
Qi Yunfan finally snapped out of his fear, “Yes, yes, we’ll go find Doctor Anxin ourselves! As long as we offer her more money, she will definitely come to the hospital, and such a crisis will be averted!”
Just as he was about to make the call, he heard Hen Peizhu add, “Not just us, Wen Nianyou must come too! Didn’t she say she once saved Doctor Anxin’s life? Bringing her would be like having a talisman with us.”
“So… should I have someone rescue her?”
“Isn’t that obvious? She’s still useful, of course we must rescue her!”
When Wen Nianyou was rescued from the furious crowd, her face was covered in blood, and her body was smeared with egg liquid and weeds.
The moment Qi Yunfan saw her, he couldn’t help but take two steps back, “Take her to clean up, quickly.”
Fifteen minutes later, Wen Nianyou had taken a shower and changed clothes, and the wound on her head had been stitched up and was no longer bleeding.
But as the anesthesia wore off, the wounds began to throb with drilling pain. Where had she ever sustained such serious injuries?
She cried with grievance, “Brother Yunfan, those people beat and insulted me; help me find a lawyer. I want to sue them for intentional injury!”
Qi Yunfan’s face darkened, “These are trifles. A little hurt and you’re crying non-stop. Previously, I said you were sensible and had vision, but now it seems you’re not even as good as Chuyi! Chuyi never behaves like this, crying and wailing, acting like a spoiled princess!”
Wen Nianyou was stunned, forgetting to cry, “What did you say? You’re saying I’m not as good as Lin Chuyi? Whose fault is it that I got hurt? Isn’t it because of you?”
“Because of me? Isn’t it because you couldn’t bring Doctor Anxin?”
Qi Yunfan stepped forward, grabbing Wen Nianyou’s clothes, “Let me tell you, later we’re going to Dome Hospital together to see Doctor Anxin, and if by then you still can’t bring anyone, I’m not done with you!”
Wen Nianyou’s complexion instantly turned pale, “You’re going to Dome Hospital to find Doctor Anxin?”
Chapter 96: Asking Doctor Anxin for Help at the Dome Qi Yunfan’s usual gentle demeanor had disappeared completely, his voice sharp as he said, “Nonsense, of course we have to go. If we don’t hire someone soon, our hospital will be besieged by patients, and everything our family has painstakingly managed will be ruined! Just admit how much you’ve scammed people, I’m nearly killed by your deceit!”
Wen Nianyou didn’t know Doctor Anxin at all, how could she dare to go to Dome Hospital?
She clutched her head, saying in agony, “Brother Yunfan, my head hurts so much, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you to Dome Hospital.”
Qi Yunfan’s anger surged, “You refuse to accompany me?”
“I want to go with you, but I’m hurt, and my head really hurts terribly. Brother Yunfan, don’t you feel sorry for me at all? Before, when I had a tiny cut on my hand, you felt so bad for me!”
Qi Yunfan lifted her chin, “Wen Nianyou, have you been lying to me all this time?”
“Brother Yunfan, what are you saying, how could I deceive you?”
“Could it be that you never actually saved Doctor Anxin’s life? Three days ago, Chuyi said that the story about Doctor Anxin was made up by you.”
Wen Nianyou threw herself at him, hugging his waist as she cried grievously, “Brother Yunfan, why do you believe her and not me? I have never lied to you, it’s always been Chuyi who lies. She’s jealous that I get to be with you, so she deliberately speaks ill of me, trying to ruin our relationship, don’t be fooled!”
Qi Yunfan, irritated, pried her hands off, “Your head doesn’t hurt anymore? Since you’re fine, then hurry up and come with me, let’s go to Dome Hospital to invite Doctor Anxin.”
After he spoke, he didn’t care for her objections, grabbed Wen Nianyou’s arm, and pulled her out through the hospital’s back door, shoving her into the car.
To avoid attracting attention, they drove an inconspicuous Volkswagen minivan this time.
It was only after getting in the car that Wen Nianyou realized Hen Peizhu was also in the vehicle, looking at her with a cold gaze, as if she was looking at a dead person.
Wen Nianyou didn’t dare to meet her eyes, at this moment she realized the lie she had told seemed impossible to walk back.noveldrama
She should be damned, she couldn’t find anyone to take the fall for her this time!
If she had known it would come to this, she shouldn’t have driven Lin Chuyi away, she should have kept her at the hospital.
The wound on her head hurt more and more, even starting to bleed again, but nobody paid attention to her. Upon reaching Dome Hospital, she was dragged out of the car by Qi Yunfan.
As they entered the hospital lobby and just mentioned they were from Qi Hospital, the receptionist’s face immediately changed, “Security! What’s going on, how could people from Qi Hospital be let in? They have been using Doctor Anxin to promote scams, get them out of here!”
Security immediately surrounded them, “Dome does not welcome people from Qi Hospital, get out!”
Other people in the hospital who heard they were from Qi Hospital gathered around, pointing and commenting.
“So these are the people from Qi Hospital, huh? Their hospital has made quite the splash these past few days, acting all high and mighty!”
“High and mighty? More like a hospital full of scammers. Doctor Anxin hadn’t partnered with them at all, they’re already being sued!”
“Qi Hospital is truly shameless, still having the audacity to show up? They almost ruined Doctor Anxin’s reputation, charging nine thousand nine just for a consultation fee, a greedy hospital!”
“I heard they even used Doctor Anxin’s name to sell counterfeit medicines. Their hospital bought advertisements saying how good their medicines were. If it weren’t for a box costing eighteen thousand, scarily expensive, I would have almost bought it.”
“What?! Counterfeit medicine? I bought two boxes! Qi Hospital, give me a refund! Scammers will never come to a good end! Give me my money back right now!”
Chapter 97 Qi Yunfan Charges into the Gunfire The crowd was agitated, and the security nearly lost control of the scene for a moment.
Qi Yunfan didn’t know who grabbed him, but his face was left with two scratches.
Clutching his face in pain, he said, “We haven’t deceived anyone, we really did invite Doctor Anxin. She agreed to come to Qi Hospital for consultation, if you don’t believe us, ask her!”
As he said this, he pushed Wen Nianyou to the front.
Hen Peizhu also quickly hid behind Wen Nianyou and said loudly, “Yes, she’s the lifesaver of Doctor Anxin! Doctor Anxin personally promised her that she would come to Qi Hospital for consultation. It was Doctor Anxin who went back on her word; we are here to demand an explanation from her!”
Wen Nianyou, suddenly pushed out by the two of them to take the blame, was both panicked and angry. What did this have to do with her? She wasn’t the one who had Qi Yunfan charge such high registration fees, nor was she the one who sold the expensive fake medicine!
But at this moment, she was in the same boat with them; she couldn’t possibly extract herself from the situation.
She bravely said, “Yes, Doctor Anxin personally promised me, she said she would go to Qi Hospital for consultation and she also said she would perform surgery on my mother!”
A solemn and dignified voice suddenly rang out, “When did my Anxin ever promise you? Bring out the evidence!”
The crowd turned their heads toward the source of the voice, then exclaimed in surprise, “Director An Huadong! Director An is here!”noveldrama
Everyone, seeing him, became much more respectful. They voluntarily made way, allowing An Huadong to come to the front.
An Huadong was accompanied by Chi Cheng and Ye Chuyi’s assistant, Qianqian. Despite being seventy years old, he was still full of vigour and commanding presence.
He looked displeased as he stared at the people from Qi Hospital, finally resting his gaze on Wen Nianyou, who stood at the forefront: “Did you save the life of my Anxin disciple?”
Wen Nianyou was incredibly flustered. She gritted her teeth and nodded, “Yes.”
“When did you save her, where did you save her, how did you save her, and who can prove that you saved her?”
“I… uh…”
Wen Nianyou was at a loss for words, her mind went blank.
Is he sick, asking all these detailed questions? When she lied to others about this, no one ever asked her these details!
Onlookers who were there for the drama laughed, “You can’t answer a single question?”
“I’ve been saying that those people at Qi Hospital are scammers, and now they even dare to make up such lies!”
“I’ve lived for fifty years and I’ve never seen anyone so shameless to fabricate a life-saving grace and then try to coerce Doctor Anxin into consulting at Qi Hospital to treat her mother. The world is truly degenerating, and morality is a thing of the past!”
“Scammers! Deliberately trying to ruin Doctor Anxin’s reputation, apologize to Doctor Anxin right away!”
An Huadong brushed aside Wen Nianyou’s so-called “life-saving grace” and then turned his attention to Qi Yunfan.
He didn’t know the others, but how could he possibly not recognize Qi Yunfan!
Qi Yunfan had been pursuing his beloved disciple for three years, and his beloved disciple even went to Qi Hospital to help out for Qi Yunfan’s sake!
Yet Qi Yunfan, that fool, did not know how skilled his disciple was and actually only had her organize documents and clean!
Anxin had studied medicine with him for eight years, and he had never had the heart to ask his disciple to do the cleaning; all the dirty work, miscellaneous tasks, and laborious activities were always handed over to Chi Cheng.
An Huadong held much more resentment towards Qi Yunfan than towards Sheng Tingyuan.
Instead of keeping his distance, he even dared to charge headfirst into the fray!
An Huadong’s eyes nearly spat fire, “Qi Hospital, bring out the evidence! You said that my Anxin disciple promised to go to your hospital for consultation, bring out the evidence! Any practicing doctor who wants to go to a hospital for consultation or surgery must sign a contract; show us your contract!”
Qi Yunfan felt An Huadong’s strong hostility towards him, but he thought it was just because they had deceived people.
His face went deathly pale as he faltered, “We… we haven’t had the chance to sign a contract yet. It was only a verbal agreement.”
“What kind of quack hospital is Qi Hospital, employing a doctor for consultation just on a verbal agreement, no contract needed? Are you trying to fool the dead?”
An Huadong was furious, “Even for a verbal agreement, there should be evidence, bring out the evidence! Without evidence, you are using my Anxin disciple’s reputation to extort money for your hospital! That’s fraud!”
Chapter 98 Losing All Face The crowd also shouted angrily, “Show us the evidence! Without evidence, you’re just scammers!”
How could Qi Yunfan possibly have evidence, when he had never even contacted Dr. Anxin: “This … Even though there’s no evidence, we are not swindlers. Don’t speak nonsense.”
An Huadong sneered, “You still have the audacity to deny being swindlers? Do you have any idea how much money you’ve lied out of patients? You’re utterly conscienceless!”
“Having cheated so much money, you still dare to cause trouble in our hospital, I’ve never seen shamelessness to this extent before!”
“On behalf of Dome Hospital, and representing Dr. Anxin, I demand you immediately apologize to our hospital and Dr. Anxin!”
Qi Yunfan was so insulted that he couldn’t even lift his head, and he reached out to tug at Wen Nianyou, hoping she would produce something like chat logs or call records.
But Wen Nianyou’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.
Hen Peizhu, surrounded by the crowd, saw Wen Nianyou faint at her feet and wished she could trample her to death!
After all, she had been managing a hospital with her husband for so many years and had seen countless patients; she could tell at a glance that Wen Nianyou was faking it!
The onlookers jeered even louder, “Fainted? Didn’t she just say she was Dr. Anxin’s lifesaver? How did she pass out so quickly?”
“Definitely can’t provide evidence, so she’s pretending to faint! She has the nerve to claim she saved Dr. Anxin’s life. I think it’s more like Dr. Anxin saved her life!”
“Does Dr. Anxin need her to save him? I wonder where she got the nerve to spout such nonsense!”noveldrama
“People from Qi Hospital are all sickening, cheating so much money from others and still putting on airs here without a shred of shame.”
“Hey, what are you people from Qi Hospital doing here? I heard Director Qi Linjiang even bought fake drugs abroad to sell. Why didn’t he show up? Is it because he’s too ashamed to face the public?”
“You look a bit like Qi Linjiang—are you his son? Refund my money first, or else I’ll sue you all!”
The crowd buzzed with discussion. Hen Peizhu was thoroughly humiliated and had no desire to stay any longer.
Ignoring Wen Nianyou, who was still lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, she pulled Qi Yunfan and left.
Wen Nianyou never imagined that the two of them would just abandon her there and leave so abruptly.
Squinting her eyes, she saw the two leave, and since Dome Hospital wasn’t paying her any attention, she had to pretend to wake up, quickly climbed up from the ground, and slinked away.
Behind her was a roar of laughter as everyone mocked her.
“Hahaha, she really was faking her faint! Her skin is so thick!”
“Of course, how else could she dare claim to be Dr. Anxin’s lifesaver?”
“To be a swindler, you must have a thick skin, and be utterly heartless and unprincipled. Look at those two from Qi Hospital—they didn’t even bother with her, they just left.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s clear none of those from Qi Hospital are decent; they don’t even care if one of their own lives or dies, they just look out for themselves.”
…
On the way back to the hospital, Hen Peizhu smashed everything in the car to bits; she trashed the entire minivan, with broken glass scattered everywhere and red wine splattered all over the seat cushions.
The driver didn’t dare make a sound, silently driving.
Hen Peizhu’s face was as dark as an impending storm: “I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life! Wen Nianyou dares to deceive us, she doesn’t know Dr. Anxin at all! I’ll kill her!”
Qi Yunfan, splashed with red wine, couldn’t hide the pallor of his face: “Killing her won’t solve anything. Our hospital is completely ruined by her now; everyone is calling our hospital a scam, and Dome has even sued us. Mom, how much money are we going to lose this time?”
“You still have the face to ask how much we’re going to pay? This time, even if we use the whole hospital to compensate, it won’t be enough!”
Hen Peizhu was furious with disappointment: “I used to think you were capable and could take over the family business, but it turns out you’re still so brainless. A woman sweet-talks you, and you believe her just like that! Break up with Wen Nianyou right away; someone as shameless as her doesn’t deserve to marry into the Qi family!”
: Chapter 99 Qi Hospital Refunds Qi Yunfan was scolded but showed no reaction, as his heart was filled with fear and despair.
He could never have imagined that Wen Nianyou would dare to deceive him in such a matter. Now, Qi Hospital’s reputation was completely ruined, and he, the son of the hospital director, had become a target of public anger, as everyone wanted to chase him down and chastise him.
When he returned to the hospital, although they had been sufficiently secretive, someone still spotted him.
Crowds swarmed him, throwing stones and rotten vegetable leaves at him, while the calls for “refund our money” within the entire hospital grew louder and more forceful.noveldrama
Qi Yunfan was beaten until he was bleeding from the head, but the patients and their families still refused to let him leave, clinging to him and Hen Peizhu without letting go.
He had no choice but to plead, “Everyone, please stop hitting us. We at Qi Hospital were also deceived. We didn’t mean to cheat all of you. I promise we’ll refund the money.”
The crowd kept asking repeatedly, and only after confirming that they would indeed get a refund did they gradually disperse.
Hen Peizhu was almost beside herself with rage. Her appearance was disheveled with rotten vegetables clinging to her, and without even returning to her office, she dragged her son to Lady Wen’s hospital room.
In the past few days at the hospital, Lady Wen had been given high doses of painkillers. Her headaches had lessened, and she was even able to walk around a bit.
She had thought that her improved condition was due to some special medication from Qi Hospital, but was shocked to suddenly hear that all the medicine sold by Qi Hospital was fake and that even the promised consultation sessions with Doctor Anxin were a lie.
As she discussed transferring to another hospital with her husband, Wen Xingye, Hen Peizhu burst into her hospital room.
“Madam Wen, how exactly did you raise your daughter? She lied through her teeth and has doomed our Qi Hospital! This time, your Wen Family will bear all the losses incurred by Qi Hospital!”
Seeing her in such a sorry state, Lady Wen inwardly felt alarmed. “What has happened to Mrs. Qi? How could Youyou tell nothing but lies? She’s always been the most obedient and well-behaved.”
“She deceived us!”
Hen Peizhu was nearly screaming, no longer caring about her own appearance: “She claimed she saved Doctor Anxin’s life, all nonsense! We went to Dome Hospital to confront them, and she didn’t even know Doctor Anxin, let alone save her life!”
Lady Wen was stunned, “What are you saying?”
Wen Xingye was also filled with shock: “How could Youyou not know Doctor Anxin? My wife’s surgery was performed by Doctor Anxin, and it was all thanks to Youyou’s efforts.”
“Bullshit efforts! It’s all her lies! Dome Hospital’s An Huadong personally debunked it, and her face was swollen from being slapped in public!”
“Impossible! Youyou wouldn’t lie!”
Lady Wen shook her head and took out her phone: “You see, I’ve been in contact with Doctor Anxin for a while now, and she’s always asked me to come in for follow-ups.”
Hen Peizhu grabbed the phone and saw that the conversation was nothing more than the most common doctor-patient dialogue and it seemed incomplete, with signs of editing.
She trembled with rage: “This is what you call being familiar with Doctor Anxin? This is what you call Doctor Anxin agreeing to consult at our Qi Hospital? Which part of this conversation mentions her agreeing to consult? Your whole family is made of liars! You have driven our Qi Hospital to ruin!”
Lady Wen hastily replied, “Don’t be upset, let me call Doctor Anxin to ask about this. My daughter wouldn’t lie about such a thing.”
With that, she found the number and dialed.
The call was quickly answered, and a young, crisp voice came through the phone: “Hello, who is this?”
“Hello, I’m Ye Jinyu, who underwent a tumor operation previously at Dome Hospital. May I ask if this is Doctor Anxin?”
“You are Ye Jinyu?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“Is it truly you?”
Lady Wen was puzzled: “It’s me, is there a problem?”
“Madam Ye, are you finally willing to talk with us? You didn’t answer your phone before and didn’t talk much on WeChat either. Didn’t we agree you should come in for regular check-ups after your surgery?”
Lady Wen was taken aback: “You called me?”
“Yes, you always hung up the phone, and we couldn’t get in touch with you!”
Chapter 100 Wen Nianyou’s Last Words Lady Wen subconsciously said, “How is that possible? I have never received a call from you!”
“Who hung up the call, I am not sure. Madam, are you calling us now because you are finally willing to come for a follow-up check?”
“No, I want to confirm first, are you Doctor Anxin? Do you know my daughter, Wen Nianyou?”
“I am not Doctor Anxin, this is not Doctor Anxin’s phone, this is my phone.”
“You are not Doctor Anxin?”
“I am Doctor Anxin’s assistant. Doctor Anxin is too busy, she spends most of her time in the operation room performing surgeries, so I am in charge of communicating with the patients. When I added you on WeChat and left you the phone number, you had just had your surgery and were not awake yet, and it was your husband who added me. Does he not remember?”
Lady Wen turned to look at Wen Xingye: “Didn’t I add Doctor Anxin?”
Wen Xingye nodded, “No, didn’t I tell you? The contact you have on your phone is her assistant’s!”
The assistant on the other end of the phone continued, “Madame, I do not know your daughter, Wen Nianyou, but a few days ago, she added me on her own WeChat. I will send you the details of our conversation later.”
“Madam, Doctor Anxin cares about every patient she has operated on, but that is not a reason for the patient or their family to threaten her.”
“Also, Doctor Anxin has never accepted any red envelope from you, and I don’t understand why your daughter would threaten her with such a thing. Did you tell her that Doctor Anxin accepted your red envelope?”
Lady Wen felt a chill in her heart and hurriedly said, “No, no, no, I have never said that. Doctor Anxin saved my life, I am still so grateful to her, how could I say anything that isn’t true?”
“That’s good. Since it’s all a misunderstanding, please come to our hospital for a follow-up check as soon as possible. You must not believe Qi Hospital, they are a fraudulent hospital, Doctor Anxin has never said she would go to Qi Hospital for consultation.”
“Okay, I understand now.”
Lady Wen hung up the phone with cold hands and feet. Seeing the furious expressions on Hen Peizhu and Qi Yunfan’s faces, she couldn’t find any words to ease the atmosphere.
Lin Yueqin watched all this silently, then stealthily moved back and sent a message to Wen Nianyou: “Don’t come to the hospital for now, the situation here is very unfavorable for you. It’s best to find somewhere to hide first.”noveldrama
Hen Peizhu snatched Lady Wen’s phone and saw the chat screenshots sent by Doctor Anxin’s assistant with Wen Nianyou.
After she finished reading, she nearly fainted from anger.
“After all this time, Wen Nianyou was actually trying to use your illness to threaten Doctor Anxin to come to Qi Hospital to perform surgery on you! I really want to crack open her skull to see if it’s all just filled with crap!”
Qi Yunfan leaned over for a look and his vision blackened instantly, “Is this what she meant by saying she owed Doctor Anxin a life-saving favor?!”
Wen Xingye took back the phone, furrowed his brows as he finished reading, and then handed the phone to Lady Wen: “Nianyou… sigh, I have been busy doing business abroad all these years and neglected to watch over her, it’s my negligence.”
After Lady Wen read the chat records, she finally understood why Doctor Anxin’s assistant had been so angry.
She felt bewildered and even a bit alienated.
Was the person chatting with the assistant really her daughter?
It’s true that her husband hadn’t been around much to take care of their daughter, but she had raised her daughter herself, never leaving her side for a day, and she certainly had not taught her daughter to behave like this!
Where exactly had things gone wrong?
At that moment, Lin Yueqin suddenly stepped forward in a panic and said, “Madam, something terrible has happened. The young miss left me a suicide note. She… she couldn’t possibly be thinking of committing suicide, could she?”
Lady Wen exclaimed, “What did Nianyou say? Show me quickly!”
Lin Yueqin had already deleted the previous message she had sent to Wen Nianyou, and now the only message on the phone was the new one from Nianyou: “Aunt Lin, farewell. Thank you for taking care of me for so long. From now on, please take good care of my mom.”
“Please tell my mom and dad I’m sorry for my unfilial behavior. I have been deceived and misled by others, leading to a grave mistake. I am too ashamed to face them. Perhaps in the next life, I can repay their kindness in raising me.”
