“Why are you here?”
“Why are you here?”
Qiao Nuan and Gu Cheng asked the same question in unison, before falling silent again.
Liang Jing looked back and forth between the two of them suspiciously. “Junior Martial Uncle, Mr. Gu, do you know each other?”
Qiao Nuan did not want Liang Jing to know about yesterday’s blunder, so she firmly denied it. “No, we don’t know each other!”
However, Gu Cheng and Qiao Nuan did not have any tacit understanding. He nodded and admitted, “Director Liang, I’ve met this young lady once before. Why do you call her Junior Martial Uncle?”
Liang Jing knew that he had misspoken and quickly laughed, “What Junior Martial Uncle? Mr. Gu must’ve heard wrong. I’m talking about Junior Martial Sister. I brought her here to take a look at old Mr. Gu’s illness to see if she has any ideas.”
“Director Liang, since you can’t do anything about my grandfather’s condition, I believe your junior sister won’t be able to do anything about it.”
Gu Cheng’s eyes darkened slightly as he stood in front of the hospital bed. “Director Liang, if you want to bring an intern, go look for other cases. Unfortunately, my grandfather’s condition is not something you can teach her.”
Qiao Nuan looked young, and she was also a beauty that could make people fall head over heels for her at a glance. However, many did not believe that she had superb medical skills.
Although she had been questioned many times in the past, this time, it was undoubtedly the one that made Qiao Nuan the most upset. It was probably because she had lost face in front of this man yesterday, which made Qiao Nuan subconsciously want to prove her ability.
“Sir, I am not an intern.” Qiao Nuan crossed her arms across her chest, completely unintimidated by Gu Cheng’s imposing manner. “My teacher, Eldest Senior brother has asked me to take the old man’s pulse because I have some experience in recuperation. Even if I can’t cure the old man’s illness, I can still prolong his life.”
Gu Cheng looked Qiao Nuan up and down suspiciously. How could a woman easily obtain wealth and status based on her beauty know any medical skills?
Director Liang also saw that Gu Cheng did not trust her and quickly explained, “My Junior Sister is very talented in medical skills, and her Chinese medical skills are much better than mine. Mr. Gu, why don’t you let her try.”
Although he had Director Liang’s assurance, Gu Cheng could not make up his mind at the moment.
He heard a hoarse cough coming from the bed, and he bent down to pat the old man’s chest.
When the old man finally managed to catch his breath, he said shakily, “Little Cheng, let the doctor try. I’m already at this stage. What is there to be afraid of…”
“Grandpa, I have already found a doctor who can treat you. I will bring him over soon. You will definitely recover.”
Gu Cheng comforted the old man on the bed in a low voice. After a while, he stood up and looked at Qiao Nuan, “Since this lady is so confident, please prescribe a prescription for my grandpa. I hope your medical skills are not as bad as your eyesight.”
“You…” Qiao Nuan swallowed her dirty words angrily… to think that this man was really toxic!
She sat next to the bed with a cold face and reached out to check the patient’s pulse.
Her brows furrowed tighter and tighter. After checking the pulse in her hands, she looked at Liang Jing with a solemn expression. “The old man’s body is weaker than I thought. The cancer cells should have spread, and the problem with his heart is getting worse.”
Liang Jing also looked worried. “I’ve used all the methods that can be used. The old man’s body can’t withstand chemotherapy at all. Do you have any methods to temporarily control the illness?”
Qiao Nuan nodded. “It’s not that difficult to control his condition. I just don’t know if the patient’s family is willing to accept my suggestion.”
Director Liang then looked at Gu Cheng. “Mr. Gu, I heard from you that you’ve invited an expert. Do you want to discuss with the expert if you want to use my teacher and junior sister’s recuperation formula?”
The so-called expert was yet to be seen, but Gu Cheng heard that the person had a strange temper. He didn’t know if he would mind if his grandfather used someone else’s recuperation formula first.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Qiao Nuan, “What kind of effect can your recuperation prescription achieve? Will there be side effects?”
This was also the question that the patient’s family was most concerned about. Not taking the slightest offense, Qiao Nuan explained it to him in detail.
In the end, Gu Cheng nodded. “Since it won’t cause side effects to the body and will improve Grandpa’s physique, then use it.”
This prescription was dictated by Qiao Nuan. The medication was written in Liang Jing’s name, but it was still the same problem. Qiao Nuan didn’t have the qualifications to practice medicine, and even prescribing treatment was restricted.
While Liang Jing arranged for the medicine, only Gu Cheng and Qiao Nuan were left in the ward, other than some drowsy patients.
Gu Cheng’s gaze fell on Qiao Nuan without any concealment. Qiao Nuan felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
Finally, she couldn’t stand his gaze anymore. Qiao Nuan glared back fiercely. “What are you looking at?”
Gu Cheng’s face was ashen, and his eyes were unfathomable. He stared at Qiao Nuan for a long time before asking emotionlessly, “Who sent you here? My second uncle? Or my uncle?”
“Huh? What second uncle?” Qiao Nuan looked puzzled. “Is there something wrong with your brain? Are you delusional?”
Gu Cheng closed his eyes slightly. “For the sake of Director Liang, I won’t make a fuss about it with you. You’d better behave yourself from now on..”
