Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Capítulo 1165: Chapter 1165: Love at First Sight in Medicine (Part 22)

When Mother Yuk arrived, she didn’t take this little girl seriously.

The Yuk Family’s chosen daughter-in-law was Duan Ruihuan, and lately, Yuk Jian had been getting close to this girl. After hearing from the hospital staff that their relationship had progressed to dating, Mother Yuk rushed over in a hurry.

She didn’t expect that the first clash would be met with poise and self-assurance from the other party, pushing her back. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

The two didn’t say anything further. Once the waiter served their items, Mother Yuk stirred her coffee and spoke: “I’ve heard that Miss Mi and Yuk Jian are quite close?”

Chuzheng glanced at the elegant and wealthy woman opposite her and replied unhurriedly, “If it were just hearsay, I wouldn’t be sitting here now.”

Mother Yuk seemed to be someone who valued status, and it was unlikely she would summon someone based on mere gossip.

Mother Yuk smiled slightly: “Miss Mi is very clever. Since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush. We have already chosen Duan Ruihuan as Yuk Jian’s fiancée. You must have met her.”

“Has he agreed to it?”

The elegant woman chuckled, “His opinion doesn’t matter. The matchmaker’s words and parental commands are what count. The Yuk Family has raised him for so many years; it’s his duty.”

Chuzheng: “…”

Suddenly, Miss Lu Ailing seems quite nice.

Although they couldn’t be by the original’s side, they at least respected the original’s decisions and prioritized her preferences.

Now, this lady was arranging her son’s marriage as if it were a task…

Chuzheng seemed to understand why Yuk Jian would eventually turn dark.

Chuzheng tapped her fingers on the table: “So, what do you want from me?”

Mother Yuk said, “You’re a good girl, and I believe you’ll find a better partner. Just let Yuk Jian go.”

Chuzheng, suddenly given the ‘Good Person Card’: “…”

But, but I want your son’s ‘Good Person Card’!

“What if I don’t agree?”

Chuzheng had already thought of how to throw money back, but the lady opposite didn’t seem inclined to pull out a check.

“I heard you have a heart condition?”

“So?”

Mother Yuk leisurely took a sip of her coffee: “I’ve looked into your medical records. Your heart condition is congenital, you can’t handle any stress. How can you give the Yuk Family healthy children in your condition?”

“To put it even more realistically, if you don’t plan on having children, you can’t even give him a normal life. Miss Mi, isn’t it too selfish of you to cling onto Yuk Jian?”

Mother Yuk spoke sincerely, as if she were a senior lecturing her.

Chuzheng pondered for a while and asked: “Why aren’t you trying to buy me off?” This isn’t following the usual plot!

Mother Yuk: “???”

From what Duan Ruihuan said, this girl wasn’t short on money.

So Mother Yuk didn’t even consider it from the start.

Mother Yuk was taken aback by Chuzheng’s question. Before she could gather her thoughts, she heard the girl opposite ask, “What’s your condition for me to be with him?”

Mother Yuk: “…”

–

As Chuzheng walked out of the cafe, Yuk Jian’s car was parked outside. He came down from the car, still wearing his white coat, probably having rushed from the hospital.

Yuk Jian walked up to Chuzheng in a few strides, his tone urgent, with a hint of concern: “What did my mom say to you?”

Mother Yuk came out a moment later, seeing Yuk Jian: “You came so quickly, were you afraid I would eat her up?”

Yuk Jian shielded Chuzheng behind him: “Stay out of my business from now on.”

Mother Yuk put on her sunglasses, smiling with distant courtesy: “Forget about you and Duan Ruihuan. We won’t interfere anymore.”

Mother Yuk walked away gracefully.

Yuk Jian frowned: “What did you say to her? Why would she suddenly stop interfering?”

“She said I have a heart condition and can’t be with you…” Chuzheng whispered.

Yuk Jian’s expression stiffened momentarily, then embarrassment set in, a faint blush spreading over his refined face.

Chuzheng asked him: “Can we really not?”

Yuk Jian immediately reverted to his professional demeanor as a doctor: “Um, that would be too much stress for you, it’s very risky.”

As Yuk Jian had Chuzheng get into the car, he suddenly realized that Chuzheng had changed the topic.

Yuk Jian didn’t know what that woman said to her, but judging from her demeanor, it shouldn’t have been anything that caused too much emotional turmoil.

Yuk Jian cautioned her: “No matter who from the Yuk Family approaches you in the future, don’t believe anything they say to you.”

“Hmm.”

Chuzheng casually replied, not really taking Yuk Jian’s words to heart.

She could decide whom to trust.

Of course, if the Good Person Card said not to trust someone, then she wouldn’t trust them.

Chuzheng suddenly thought of an ancient foolish emperor; if she were an emperor, she would definitely be a notoriously foolish one.

[Lady Sister, foolish emperors are usually infamous throughout history.] The King’s Account restlessly popped up to gain attention.

Shut up!

“My dad and mom got together for family interests. There’s no love between them. To them, I’m just a prop to showcase a loving relationship to the outside world,” Yuk Jian said in a low voice. “My existence is meant to bring them more benefits. They may not particularly like Duan Ruihuan, but because her surname is Duan, she becomes their best choice.”

Yuk Jian studied medicine, which already defied the Yuk Family’s plans.

But at that time, he was already an adult, and after a period of deadlock, they finally let him be.

Chuzheng didn’t know what to say, so she could only pat his shoulder: “It will be alright in the future.”

Yuk Jian: “What did you say to her to make her agree not to interfere in my affairs anymore?”

If there weren’t sufficient benefits, why would she agree?

“Nothing much.”

Chuzheng withdrew her hand, not wanting to continue the topic. Before Yuk Jian could question further, she shifted the topic swiftly.

“Is there a patient named Deng Qi in your department recently?” Calculating the time, this character should be appearing soon.

Yuk Jian wasn’t familiar with that name, so it likely wasn’t his patient. Not knowing why Chuzheng was suddenly asking this, he thought for a moment and said: “No, not on my end.”

There were multiple doctors in the department, and aside from some special patients that one might become familiar with due to case discussions, others often went unnoticed.

Chuzheng said, “Keep an eye on her.”

“Why?”

“She’s got a mental issue. Let her see a psychiatrist, and you should stay away from her.” Otherwise, your hands will be ruined.

… Why does the Good Person Card only encounter mentally ill individuals? What, what mentally ill family members and patients, he’s clearly from the cardiac surgery department!!

Is the special ability of the Good Person Card in this world to attract these talents?

“…”

Chuzheng wasn’t very clear, leaving Yuk Jian in a fog. Her detour left him no time to question what agreement she reached with Mother Yuk.

Yuk Jian had taken leave to come out, and after sending Chuzheng back, he immediately returned to the hospital.

Passing by the nurse’s station, he suddenly recalled Chuzheng’s words: “Check for me if there’s a patient named Deng Qi.”

“Yes, that’s Doctor Hou’s patient,” the nurse quickly informed Yuk Jian after checking.

Yuk Jian frowned slightly and turned to find Doctor Hou.
