Chapter 732: Chapter 732

Li Yuqing carefully helped the pregnant woman stand up from the bed. The woman slowly walked a couple of steps, her face filled with shock.

"Oh my god, my legs are actually better!"

Meanwhile, a young man outside paced back and forth nervously.

Li Fuyou snorted coldly, "I made it clear beforehand that this guy has no affiliation with our hospital. If there is a medical incident, our clinic is not responsible."

The young man, already tense, felt his anger rise upon hearing Li Fuyou's constant chatter.

"Are you wishing for my wife to die?" the young man shouted angrily.

Li Fuyou, noticing the scissors in the young man's hand, shrank back and said, "No, it seems like there's no more moaning from your wife inside. She might be gone. You better go check on her."

"What!" Upon hearing Li Fuyou's words, the young man turned pale, and the scissors fell from his hand.

He pushed the door open, "Wife, you died just fine!"

The young man froze when he saw Li Yuqing supporting his wife walking around the room.

"What did you just say?" The color drained from the pregnant woman's face.

"No, you, how are you out of bed walking?" asked the young man, dumbstruck.

"And what should I be doing? Do you wish I was dead so you could find someone else?" the pregnant woman angrily retorted.

At this moment, Li Fuyou also squeezed in and saw the unharmed pregnant woman, dumbfounded.

He looked at Lin Chen in shock, his eyes filled with amazement.

"This is impossible, how did he do it!" Li Fuyou exclaimed incredulously.

Just earlier, the pregnant woman had a fracture and severe bleeding, and due to some delays, even if the ambulance had arrived and taken her to the hospital, it would have been difficult to save both mother and child; both could have died.

That's why Li Fuyou absolutely refused to take on this case.

After all, his clinic had neither the necessary drugs nor the equipment. Administering injections or fluids was manageable, but such a major surgery was simply impossible.

However, the young man not only stopped the bleeding but also saved the lives of the mother and child, and even cured the woman's legs.

"This is simply a miracle!" Li Fuyou was utterly astonished.

The relatives who had brought in the pregnant woman were also shocked. It had been a life-threatening situation, but in less than half an hour with the young doctor, everything was resolved.

Grateful, the young man grabbed Lin Chen's hands and pulled out his wallet, handing over all the cash inside to Lin Chen.

As Lin Chen extended his hand to take the money, Li Fuyou snatched it away in one swift motion.

"This surgery was performed at my clinic, so the treatment fee should be paid to me," Li Fuyou said excitedly, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the money.

Lin Chen looked at Li Fuyou's greedy expression and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The grateful family of the pregnant woman thanked them profusely before leaving the clinic.

At this moment, Li Yuqing excitedly said, "Dad, Lin Chen is amazing. You must keep him here."

Li Fuyou's gaze flickered as he looked at Lin Chen and coughed, "Kid, you did well today, so I'm keeping you."

However, Lin Chen picked up his backpack from the floor, "You may want to keep me, but I don't want to stay. Goodbye!"

Seeing Lin Chen attempting to leave, Li Fuyou got slightly panicked and quickly said, "Kid, stay. I'll give you two thousand five."

"Five thousand!" Lin Chen stretched out five fingers.

Li Fuyou pushed down two of Lin Chen's fingers, "Three thousand at most."

"Three thousand is not enough, I can't go lower than four thousand," Lin Chen said, coolly.

"No way, I can't do more than three thousand," Li Fuyou was equally unyielding.

At that moment, Li Yuqing stamped her foot and grabbed Lin Chen's hand, "Okay, stop arguing, let's settle on three thousand five hundred."

Li Yuqing's delicate hand held Lin Chen's, which felt slippery and tender, incredibly comfortable.

"Alright, three thousand five hundred it is," Lin Chen said, coolly.

Although Li Fuyou was reluctant, he knew that Lin Chen was no ordinary guy, so he begrudgingly accepted the price.

After they agreed on the price, Li Fuyou checked the time, "Alright, it's getting late, work is over for today. Be here at eight-thirty sharp tomorrow morning."

Lin Chen nodded, "Okay! " he said as he grabbed his bag and headed out."

Just then, Li Yuqing suddenly chased after him and said, "Lin Chen, let's go together, I'll give you a ride in my car."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, "Sounds good!"

On the road, Li Yuqing was riding an electric bike with a plainly gloomy Lin Chen.

"Sister, is this what you called a car?"

Li Yuqing pouted, "If you don't like it, you can take bus 11."

"I like it, of course, I like it." Lin Chen's arms wrapped around Li Yuqing's slender waist, which felt as comfortable as could be, Mercedes and BMW couldn't even compare.

"By the way, Lin Chen, where do you live?" Li Yuqing asked.

Lin Chen shook his head, "I don't have a place yet, I was planning to rent a room."

"Rent a room? Why don't you stay at my place!" Li Yuqing blushed as she spoke.

"Really, that's great." Lin Chen was instantly overjoyed.

Just thinking about living under the same roof as such a beautiful girl was thrilling.

After about half an hour's ride, Li Yuqing finally brought Lin Chen to a shanty area.

"You're not going to tell me you live here, are you!" Lin Chen looked around somewhat glumly.

Li Yuqing nodded, "Yes, the rent here is cheap, and the environment is bearable."

"The environment is bearable?" Lin Chen was speechless, this girl was far too easily satisfied.

The place could best be described as dirty, messy, and bad.

There was trash everywhere and an unpleasant smell that occasionally wafted into one's nostrils.

"Your father is too stingy, letting his own daughter live in such a place, no wonder he didn't help in that critical moment," Lin Chen said, gloomily.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Li Yuqing started to feel downcast.

"Actually, my father was originally a very cheerful and helpful doctor, and he was your schoolmate. After graduation, he worked at Zhonghai Hospital. However, he encountered a pregnant woman with severe bleeding just like today. The former dean didn't want to take in the patient, but seeing her condition worsening, my father took matters into his own hands and performed the surgery, which unfortunately resulted in the woman dying on the operating table." At this point, Li Yuqing's expression darkened.

"And then what happened?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"Afterward, the patient's family accused the hospital of malpractice and demanded compensation. Since my father made the decision to keep the woman, he had to bear all the compensation costs. We sold our house, our car, and even went into debt. My father also lost his job, and later my mother divorced him because she couldn't handle the tough times," a sad expression crossed Li Yuqing's face.

Hearing Li Yuqing's story, Lin Chen, who initially had a poor opinion of that stingy old man, suddenly felt some respect for him.

Li Yuqing continued, "That's why he became so stingy afterward; he actually wants to save money for my treatment and to get me married off, so please don't blame him."
