Chapter 640: Chapter 639 - 613: Boss Qian Hehehe

Would someone really give up hundreds of thousands in treatment fees to take on a non-profit medical case?

Ye Xiaoyu didn’t believe it; it challenged her values.

Her father was a manager at a private sector company. Sure, he had a fancy title, but everyone knew how unstable the private sector could be. He might be earning good money today, and packing his bags tomorrow.

Her mother was in sales. The business card she handed out said ‘manager’, but she was just working for a shell company, going from hospital to hospital with some materials, making a profit on medical supplies. Selling one piece of equipment could feed them for half a year, but they couldn’t sell more than one or two a year.

Ye Xiaoyu had a stable job but faced immense work pressure. Her family’s living standard was pretty good. Outsiders would consider them middle-class, but everyone in the family was putting in their all just to keep up appearances.

Ye Xiaoyu couldn’t believe anyone wouldn’t care about hundreds of thousands.

But Xiao Qian just scoffed at her with contempt, sounding almost exactly like Professor Liu.

“You still don’t understand a doctor’s dignity. My teacher’s spiritual level is something you couldn’t reach in a lifetime. In her eyes, some things are more important than money. I bet she’ll take it.”

“I bet she won’t. How much do you want to bet?” Ye Xiaoyu didn’t believe that Professor Liu would have time to deal with her own sister when she didn’t have time to deal with Li Jia’s hundreds of thousands.

“Vulgar! I’m a person with an ID card. If I gamble money with you and Xiao Qiang finds out, won’t he try to reform my thinking? After all, we’re already very rich.”

With a snap, a handful of jabs to the heart irritated Ye Xiaoyu. Her disgusted expression deeply satisfied Xiao Qian.

“Why am I starting to hate you more and more?”

“Whether you hate me or like me doesn’t matter to me. The sun will still rise, I’ll eat when I want to eat, sleep when I want to sleep, and marry when I want to marry.”

Dealing with a rival in love, Boss Qian never held back.

“What do you want to bet on?”

“I’ll bet on makeup. If my teacher takes the case, you don’t wear makeup for a week and meet people with a bare face. If my teacher doesn’t take it—”

“What will you do?”

“I’ll wear heavy makeup for a week. How about that?”

“I don’t want to bet on something so meaningless!”

“Oh, you have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. It’s okay, don’t be afraid to say no.”

“I don’t have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder!”

“Why not bet then?”

“I just don’t want to.”

“Oh, it’s still Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Alright, alright, I won’t force a patient.”

“Fine, I accept!” Ye Xiaoyu let the provocation get to her head and accepted this unfair agreement under Xiao Qian’s taunting.

Only when she noticed Xiao Qian’s meaningful smile did she realize that she seemed… to have been tricked!

Not wearing makeup made it hard for her to concentrate, and she felt uneasy. She rushed here today because she was worried about her younger sister, but feeling unwell was like having a high fever. If she couldn’t wear makeup for a week, she felt like she might die.

As soon as Ye Xiaoyu thought of putting on makeup, her hand uncontrollably pulled out a tube of lipstick from her bag. She applied it as she walked upstairs. Xiao Qian watched with amazement at her impressive skill. How did she manage to not get it on the outside of her lips?

“Ye Xiaoyu, what’s your relationship with Ye Xiaowei? Is your mom not her real mom?”

“How did you know? Did Weiwei tell you?””Hmm.”

“Actually, Weiwei is my uncle’s child. Her mother passed away after giving birth to her, and her father died in a car accident while working outside. My dad took her in, and she has been living with our family since she was very young. She calls my dad ‘Dad’ and my mom ‘Mom’.”

“You must really like her.” He liked her so much that he even rushed out without thinking about his OCD.

“Yeah, she is a particularly good young girl. Sometimes when I’m tired outside, seeing her smile makes me feel a bit more relaxed—I don’t know why I’m telling you this, I hate you.”

“I don’t like you either.”

When they returned to the monitoring room, they handed the paperwork to the nurse. Ye Xiaoyu’s mother, Lu Zhi, went to get the things needed for the hospital stay. Ye’s father stayed outside the monitoring room. Professor Liu had already told him once about the current condition of the child. Although the child’s life was out of danger now, follow-up psychological intervention was needed. Because at this stage, if there is no good psychologist to guide, there may still be suicidal situations for patients with depression.

“Teacher, the patient’s family doesn’t accept my treatment. Can you accept it?” Xiao Qian asked straightforwardly.

“Oh? Why? Chen Xiaoqian is my best student. She is capable of treating Weiwei.”

“Because—” Ye Xiaoyu hesitated.

“Because I once had an unrequited crush on Yu Gangdan, and even played tennis with him for a while. She dislikes me now when she sees me, and I’m not happy when I see her either. That’s it.” Xiao Qian’s direct statement made Ye Xiaoyu blush.

Professor Liu just gave a deep, meaningful look at Ye Xiaoyu and shook his head.

“This obviously isn’t Yu Gangdan’s type. That kid is too picky about his partners. I suspect he has emotional cleanliness. If it weren’t for Xiaoqiang-type women following him, they would both torment each other. So, young lady, you are very lucky. You wouldn’t have a good time with Yu Gangdan. My apprentice is fine. She can handle Yu Gangdan and she is almost flawless. She is just right to accompany someone with cleanliness.”

Is this comforting Ye Xiaoyu, or complimenting Xiao Qian in disguise?

It’s a mystery…

Xiao Qian found Ye Xiaoyu’s expression amusing. The teacher really is protective of her students, huh.

Ye Xiaoyu felt awkward after being told off by Professor Liu. Just like people with obsessive-compulsive disorder about makeup, she thought that everything had to do with not wearing makeup. Did Professor Liu deliberately say that Xiao Qian’s natural face was prettier than hers because she didn’t have makeup on today?

She was just about to touch her bag when she heard Professor Liu add another sentence.

“Don’t put on makeup. Last time you touched up your makeup three times in one hour in my place, I suspected you had OCD. Your problem isn’t big or small. Don’t be too sensitive and don’t blame everything on not wearing makeup. Look at this Steel Cannon, she is thick-skinned all day long. If she put on makeup one day, Yu Gangdan would dislike her and complain about eating lipstick—”

“He told you that?!” Xiao Qian suddenly wanted to beat up her own Er Ha.

How can you share such things with elders!

“He let your Uncle Liu hear it when he was bragging with his subordinates. Allegedly, this guy also has his own lipstick tasting experience…”

Damn! Yu Xiaoqiang, you wait for me! Xiao Qian wanted to kill Yu Minglang. He had taken his stupidity to a whole new level, what freaking tasting experience!

And the teacher, who was dignified on the surface, was eavesdropping on the conversation. Unbelievable!

Ye Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable listening to the conversation between Xiao Qian and the teacher, and her urge to put on makeup decreased significantly.

“Professor Liu, can you treat my sister?” Ye Xiaoyu brought the topic back on track.

“Yes, I can. I’ll push back the two projects on my hands. You, yes, you, don’t look anywhere else! I’ll take over your work, and you’ll have to help me with some of mine!” Professor Liu pointed at Xiao Qian, who was pretending to be an ordinary person.

“Teacher, I’m just a baby. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it.”

“Don’t act like a child! Are you trying to bargain with me again?”

“Hehe…”
