Lin Nanâs voice sounded a little excited. âYuanyuan, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration just now and thought of someone.
âWhat?â Ji Yuanyuan was surprised.
âItâs that patient of yours. I suddenly thought of a suspicious person.â
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned. She did not expect Lin Nan to still be thinking about this matter.
âWho is it?â she asked in a whisper.
âI still vaguely remember that when we were in our third or fourth year, you were almost stabbed by someone at the school gate. Qin Mucheng protected you at that time, but in the end, a girl from his company took the knife for him.
is that woman also sumamed Li and has the word Xi in her name?â
Ji Yuanyuan stood rooted to the ground, feeling a chill run down her spine.
She did not speak for a long time.
âYuanyuan, are you listening?â Lin Nan was a little anxious.
Ji Yuanyuan gulped and finally found her voice. âItâs not Xi as in the morning, but Xi as in the hope.â
Lin Nan was a little hesitant. âWasnât her face injured back then? Itâs not strange to have a whole face fixed, right?
âLi Xirui, Li Xiaoxiâ¦â Ji Yuanyuan repeated the two names.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the two of them
overlapped.
Perhaps Li Xiaoxi was the Li Xirui of the past.
This also explained why she was so hostile towards him.
Moreover, she was so against it when she found out that she was her chief surgeon.
-Get Qin Mucheng to investigate it properly. If itâs really the case, I suggest that you reject this surgery. The surgery is complicated. If it fails, Li Xiaoxi might think that you did it on purpose. What will you do then?â Ji Yuanyuan came back to her senses when she heard that.
-But there arenât many people in our hospital who can perform this surgery. If I donât do it, we can only give her a later appointment. Her condition isnât good now, and the more we delay, the more dangerous it will be.â
Li Xiaoxi looked energetic when she was making things difficult for others, but from the results of the examination, her condition was still quite dangerous. Therefore, for the sake of Li Xiaoxiâs health, Ji Yuanyuan could not make such a hasty decision.
Ji Yuanyuan studied medicine in order to save people.
In the face of medicine, there should not be any grudges.
Ji Yuanyuan felt that she could not be so selfish.
âI know youâre great, but you canât just think about her, right?â Lin Nan was a little speechless when he heard Ji Yuanyuanâs words. âYou have to think for yourself.â
Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips and remained silent.
âI canât just think about myself. If there were someone else who could operate on her, I definitely wouldnât have insisted, but the situation now isâ¦â âJi Yuanyuan, why are you becoming more and more of a saint?â Lin Nan interrupted Ji Yuanyuan. âYou werenât like this in the past.â After saying that, Lin Nan hung up the phone without waiting for Ji Yuanyuan to explain.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled bitterly as she looked at the black screen on her phone. After a while, she stuffed her phone into her pocket and drove home. When she returned home, Tangtang and Qin Mucheng were already back. Seeing that she had returned, Tangtang ran over quickly and took the bag from her hand very considerately. âMom, youâve worked hard. Grandma made soup for you. You should drink more later.â
âItâs not hard for Mommy,â Ji Yuanyuan bent down and kissed Tangtangâs cheek.
Tangtang stood on her tiptoes and hung Ji Yuanyuanâs bag on the rack. When Ji Yuanyuan came back, Cheng Shuqin took care of the dishes and served them on the table.
While they were eating, Ji Yuanyuan was still thinking about Li Xiaoxiâs matter, so she spoke a little less.
Naturally, Qin Mucheng noticed Ji Yuanyuanâs abnormal behavior. After the meal, when the two of them were alone, Qin Mucheng seemed to have asked unintentionally, âAre you very tired today?â
âIâm not tired.â Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment before smiling. âThen what kind of troublesome matter did you encounter?â Qin Mucheng stretched out his hand and poked Ji Yuanyuanâs forehead. âDonât tell me itâs nothing. Your forehead was scrunched so much it can kill a few flies.â Since he had seen through her, Ji Yuanyuan stopped pretending. She sighed deeply. âI guess so. I met a rather tricky patient.
âIs the patient being unreasonable?â Qin Mucheng frowned.
âWhat if I did something wrong?â Ji Yuanyuan laughed.
âI donât think so.â Qin Mucheng shook his head.
Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head and did not speak for a long time.
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything, and Qin Mucheng did not rush her either. He just reached out his hand silently and put it around her shoulders.
Ji Yuanyuan leaned her head on Qin Muchengâs shoulder. Her heart was in a mess. She did not know if her persistence was right.
Lin Nanâs words were still ringing in her ears.
After a while, Ji Yuanyuan took a deep breath and said, âHelp me investigate someone.â
-Your patient?â Qin Mucheng looked up at her curiously.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head subconsciously, then nodded after a moment of shock.
â Yes or no?â Qin Mucheng laughed.
âIt might be, but it might not be. We have to investigate to know.â Qin Mucheng nodded. âItâs nothing. Whatâs their name? How old are they?â âLi Xirui, do you still remember her?â Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng as usual.
Instantly, the smile on Qin Muchengâs face froze.
He naturally had an impression of the name Li Xirui. However, in front of Ji Yuanyuan, he could not admit it directly. He only remembered Li Xirui because he had a good memory. However, Li Xirui was a woman who had liked him before, so it was better to avoid arousing suspicion.
Hence, Qin Mucheng paused for a few seconds before he pretended to be confused.
However, it was those few seconds that made Ji Yuanyuan realize something. -I want to know where she is now and what her name is,â she said with a faint smile.
instead of guessing, it was better to investigate clearly so that she could have a clear idea in her heart.
Qin Mucheng smiled awkwardly and nodded. He did not continue the topic. Early the next morning, Ji Yuanyuan received a call from Qin Mucheng when he arrived at the company.
âI found out. Li Xirui has been in the country for the past few years. She went to a city in the south, got plastic surgery, changed her name, got married, and divorced.â
When she heard Qin Mucheng say that Li Xirui had changed her name, Ji Yuanyuan gulped nervously. âWhatâs her name now?â
âLi Xiaoxi.â
It was her, indeed. Ji Yuanyuan leaned against the wall and did not speak for a long time. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
On the other end of the phone, Qin Mucheng was also silent.
After a while, Qin Mucheng continued, âShe had a hard time these past few years She married a man who was older than her father for money. She fell sick after a few years of marriage, and that man divorced her. She left the family with nothing. She didnât get a single cent.
After a pause, Qin Mucheng continued, âSheâs in your hospital now. Sheâs your patient, right? You have to be carefulâ¦â
A person who had nothing could do anything..
