Chapter 531: Chapter 531
"No, no—" Su Yide repeatedly denied, "I just happened to think it was gallstones; I never expected—"
"Never expected what? You clearly made the wrong diagnosis, and now I have to go apologize to the patient’s family. Tell me, isn’t it bad luck to have followed a chief physician like you who can’t even measure up to a hospital stay!" After berating Su Yide, the young man turned and left.
Su Yide was of course seething with anger, but was completely helpless. It could be said that in the past, each of these people knew he was a favorite of the high director, and they all tried eagerly to curry favor with him. But now, after the downfall of the Su Family, it was truly a case of everyone turning against him when the walls came tumbling down, not to mention kicking him, Su Yide, while he was down.
The vicissitudes of life were cruel; before, when he had money, he didn’t feel it that much, only finding Tang Sili particularly detestable, but now everyone had become so loathsome. Even the high director, whom Su Yide began to hate, seemed more detestable than Tang Sili. This was because if the high director hadn’t changed his tune, Su Yide wouldn’t have fallen to this low.
Lifting his foot, Su Yide just suppressed his anger and was about to leave.
Xiao Shulan, who emerged from a shadowy place ahead, seemed to block his way.
Su Yide blinked and called out, "Mrs. Kang?"
"Dr. Su, it seems we’ve met before."
Upon hearing Xiao Shulan’s words, Su Yide immediately latched on as if he had seized something, nodding, "Yes, last time, I had the honor of showing the way to Mrs. Kang."
Xiao Shulan’s lips curved into a subtle arc. In truth, she and Su Yide had never had any previous interactions because even she had looked down on this Doctor Su. Basically, Su Yide’s medical skills were too poor compared to Tang Sili; he was thoroughly incomparable and of no use at all.
But now, it seemed the situation was different. The high director was as slippery as an eel, speaking with half-truths that left her unable to grasp anything solid, which made him seem unreliable to her now. And Tang Sili, who was so stubborn, actually refused her bribes.
Who could she now depend on in this hospital to do her bidding? It seemed this man before her could accomplish some tasks for her. Read complete versıon only at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
Perhaps his medical skills were not up to par, but in the hospital, those who did her bidding didn’t necessarily need to have good medical skills.
Su Yide stood across from her, and upon seeing the fleeting expressions on her face, as someone of the same ilk, he quickly understood what the other was scheming in her heart. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. If he could latch on to Xiao Shulan, this new patron, it would be akin to him having a new lease on life.
"Mrs. Kang, is there anything I can do for you?"
Very good, quite with the times; this implied he might have done quite a few such favors for others before. Xiao Shulan smiled, "There are some matters, indeed, that I hope Dr. Su can help me with, and only Dr. Su can accomplish."
Su Yide’s expression grew serious as he said, "Please rest assured, Mrs. Kang. I will certainly handle your matters well."
Guests had arrived, and the midday meal would definitely have to be very lavish.
Gu’s mother had prepared a day in advance, purchasing all the groceries early. She knew from previous meals with her son-in-law that he liked seafood, so Gu’s mother spared no expense at the market to buy the freshest seafood for her son-in-law.
The seafood soup prepared was brimming with crabs and large prawns, making Gu’s father gape in surprise. He thought back to when Wa Zicong was courting his daughter for so many years; whenever he came to their house for a meal, Gu’s mother had never gone to such lengths.
Of course, this was not to say Gu’s mother was biased, but rather that back then, Wa Zicong had not shown any particular liking for seafood.
If Big White knew about this, he would certainly make another remark: "My wife’s ex is just stupid. Hiding even this simple thing? How could you make your mother-in-law love you?"
