Chapter 191: Just Wanted to Be Low-Key, How Did I Become So Ruthless?
Gu Jiaojiao saw everyone’s praise growing more and more enthusiastic. She just wanted to quietly slip away, but Doctor Sun grabbed her arm.
Doctor Sun was filled with admiration, seeing how Gu Jiaojiao shared her knowledge so freely. He thanked her solemnly, "Comrade Gu, you are truly selfless."
He had come to the compound gate specifically to meet his master, Divine Doctor Jiang, and had approached the crowd just in time to hear Gu Jiaojiao speaking so eloquently.
"As long as it can help more people, it’s really no trouble at all. It’s not worth mentioning," Gu Jiaojiao said with a faint smile.
"A few days ago, I heard that both He Shen Yi and Doctor Xia were eating their meals at your house. I really wanted to go over and join in the fun.
But I could never find the time. Fortunately, Doctor Xia was performing surgery at the City First Hospital for a day, so I had the honor of observing and learning.
It’s just such a shame that when Divine Doctor Su Gu appeared in Qing City and performed two surgeries, I didn’t get a chance to learn from her."
Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.
’Plenty of people wanted to go and learn back then, okay?!’
"What? Xiao Sun, are you saying that two Divine Doctors from the Imperial City came to our compound? And they ate at Jiaojiao’s house?"
Divine Doctor Jiang was stunned.
"To answer, Master, yes. And Divine Doctor Su Gu came to Qing City as well. I heard she even cured that boy from the Song Family."
"What? The Song Family’s boy is cured?" Divine Doctor Jiang was utterly shocked.
’He was only away on one trip!’
’How did everything change so completely?!’
Although he was considered a top-tier Divine Doctor in Qing City, in the Imperial City, he wouldn’t even be called a Divine Doctor. He wouldn’t even make the bottom of the list!
Doctor Xia, despite his youth, was as famous as the long-renowned He Shen Yi, a legend in the world of Western medicine.
He Shen Yi was a titan in the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine. And just a few days ago, both He Shen Yi and Doctor Xia had publicly declared something.
They wanted to take Divine Doctor Su Gu as their master, because Divine Doctor Su Gu’s surgical skills surpassed even Doctor Xia’s, and her expertise in Chinese medicine was superior to He Shen Yi’s.
’There’s always someone better out there!’
"Jiaojiao, I’ve always thought you had a talent for medicine. Back then, this old man wanted to take you as my apprentice, but you... And now, in just a few days, you’ve learned the Heimlich maneuver. You’re truly gifted!"
"Divine Doctor Jiang, I was young back then and wasn’t very interested in medicine. Besides, the Heimlich maneuver can be learned in a few minutes. Doctor Sun just learned it, right?"
Gu Jiaojiao asked, looking at Doctor Sun.
"Yes, the method is very easy to learn. They say Doctor Xia is a titan in Western medicine.
Despite his youth, he’s already left behind many famous, legendary stories around the world.
But according to Doctor Xia himself, Divine Doctor Su Gu is even more capable, and in terms of Chinese medicine,
his skills leave medical titans across the globe in the dust. Although Divine Doctor Su Gu has a cold and aloof personality,
he is a good doctor with high moral principles. He would rather teach Doctor Xia and He Shen Yi for free than accept them as apprentices."
Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.
’Even in my past life, I didn’t leave medical titans across the globe in the dust!’
’Besides, in both of my lives, I’ve never been a cold or aloof person, thank you very much!’
’Who’s been spreading rumors that make me sound so heartless?!’
Seeing that everyone was listening with great interest, Doctor Sun paused for a moment before adding,
"However, Divine Doctor Su Gu is extremely strict with people, and also very picky..."
"That’s not true! She’s very approachable. She answered whatever I asked her."
Gu Jiaojiao cut off Doctor Sun’s endless chatter. ’Since when did I become so picky?’
So Gu Jiaojiao started promoting herself: "Divine Doctor Su Gu is kind and beautiful, and she grants every request from those who want to learn medicine.
She’s only a teenager, in the prime of her youth. She’s sweet and cute, not eccentric or stubborn at all. She’s adorable and playful."
Su Shuochi and Grandpa Gu, who had just had a hard time getting out of their car to find Gu Jiaojiao, were left speechless.
They exchanged a look and didn’t say a word, just listened quietly as Gu Jiaojiao hyped herself up, smiling indulgently.
The crowd was stunned by Gu Jiaojiao’s words. They looked at her eagerly and asked,
"Jiaojiao, you’ve actually met Divine Doctor Su Gu?"
"Jiaojiao must have met her! How else could she describe her in such detail!"
"I heard from Aunt Song that it was Jiaojiao’s father who invited Divine Doctor Su Gu to treat Song Zijie."
"If you put it that way, it’s perfectly normal for Jiaojiao to know Divine Doctor Su Gu. No wonder she can bring people back from the brink of death with a single touch."
Seeing everyone’s praise for Jiaojiao becoming excessive and increasingly absurd, Divine Doctor Jiang frowned slightly and sighed helplessly.
"What Jiaojiao described is just the surface. How could she possibly know Divine Doctor Su Gu? It’s said that he appears and disappears like a phantom.
The venerable doctor’s medical skills are unparalleled, but he has a very strange temper.
He likes to wander alone in the wilderness, has no family or friends, and is unwilling to communicate with others.
They say he will only treat patients he takes a liking to. If he doesn’t approve of a patient, he won’t save them even if they die right in front of him.
It’s also said that in his entire life, Divine Doctor Su Gu has only accepted two assistants: one is Doctor Xia, and the other is He Shen Yi.
And both of these assistants want to become his apprentices, but they must first pass his trials..."
"What? Who spread such rumors about her?" Grandpa Gu cried out in shock.
He dashed in front of Divine Doctor Jiang in a single bound, fighting the urge to slap him.
Divine Doctor Jiang didn’t recognize Grandpa Gu. Seeing him so agitated, he gave a wry smile and said, "Divine Doctor Su Gu is a titan of the medical world.
He has a formidable reputation internationally. His medical skills can only be described as heaven-defying; he can solve any difficult or complex case.
But his temper is just so bizarre that people call him a monster.
He only steps in to help where there is a real need; otherwise, he generally doesn’t treat people."
"Divine Doctor Jiang, who did you hear this from?" Su Shuochi asked, his brow furrowed in displeasure.
His voice was so cold it sent shivers down everyone’s spines, causing them to back away a few steps.
Seeing this, Divine Doctor Jiang sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly,
"Well, I only heard it through the grapevine. I’ve never seen Divine Doctor Su Gu in person..."
Gu Jiaojiao was so angry she laughed. She forcefully cut off Divine Doctor Jiang’s nonsense.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, if you didn’t witness it yourself, you shouldn’t spread false rumors. Divine Doctor Su Gu has always been very mindful of her image.
Whether she ’takes a liking’ to someone or not, as long as she comes across a patient, she will definitely save them.
Besides, what doctor doesn’t step in to help when a patient is in need?"
"Jiaojiao has a point. I just heard these rumors on my way back, so they really can’t be trusted," Divine Doctor Jiang said, wisely backing down.
Gu Jiaojiao found Divine Doctor Jiang’s words amusing. ’She just wanted to keep a low profile, so how did she end up being portrayed as a heartless monster!’
’Besides, she’s only been in this world for a little over a month, and she’s saved every patient she has encountered.’
’When has she ever refused to save someone who was dying?’
Whether in her principles or her actions, Gu Jiaojiao was not a petty or small-minded person.
In her past life, she had struggled and strived in the medical field for ten years without ever making a single mistake.
Few things could ever stump her, and she firmly believed that in this life, she could do even better.
But...
