Chapter 533: Chapter 529: Such a Way to Break Off an Engagement (Second Update!)
Lin Tian, who was originally preparing to administer the acupuncture, upon hearing the angry shout, had no choice but to stop his hands.
He stood up, turned around, and looked at the man who had appeared.
The man was tall and sturdy with a square face, wearing a white coat. The name tag on his chest read — Attending Physician, Lii Sheng.
"What are you all doing here? If someone dies, can you bear the responsibility? I’m afraid even my position as an attending surgeon won’t be safe!"
Lii Sheng forcefully slapped the table beside the bed, the loud thud echoing throughout the ward. He then directly shouted at Chang Ying, "As the patient’s nurse, you should be more attentive! These two must be your friends, right? How can you act so recklessly! Even if they don’t understand, you should know that administering random treatments to a patient can lead to trouble! If this happens again, I will report your behavior directly to the higher-ups!"
"Dr. Lii, but... Lin Tian, he’s practiced Traditional Chinese Medicine, and he’s very skilled! He even cured my father’s incurable disease previously!"
Chang Ying did not become angry at the criticism. Instead, she quickly explained, "Just let Lin Tian treat her, and I guarantee she will be better in no time!"
"Shut up! Do you think this is a game? Tomorrow, you better write a one-thousand-word self-critique!"
Lii Sheng interrupted Chang Ying’s words and again scolded her furiously.
He then pointed at Lin Tian and continued to Chang Ying, "You say he’s studied Traditional Chinese Medicine? And that he cured your father’s incurable disease? Are you saying I’m blind? Which National Master of Chinese Medicine didn’t need decades of experience to achieve their success? Even those seniors had looked at her condition — this ’sleeping death’ disease — and were completely at a loss. And you say this young kid can cure it? Cure an incurable disease? That’s sheer nonsense!"
A barrage of angry shouts caused Chang Ying’s face to betray her feelings of injustice.
But she had no way to explain further.
"This Dr. Lii!"
Lin Tian, seeing this, had to speak up, "I wanted to treat her just now; it was my own decision, and Sister Chang Ying is not to blame! Since she has the authority over family decisions right now and they are not here, nor had we obtained your consent, it was indeed inappropriate. Since you don’t want me to treat her, then so be it!"
"Humph! Knowing that you shouldn’t have is good enough; the hospital is no place for child’s play!"
Lii Sheng huffed coldly, giving Lin Tian a stern look before telling Chang Ying, "Now you can go off your shift, and remember to submit your self-critique tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Lin Tian did not argue further. freewёbnoνel.com
This was, after all, someone else’s territory, and arguing further would not stand in his favor.
And he did not take Lii Sheng’s scolding to heart; it was not worth getting angry over.
He had wanted to treat that girl, only to inquire about the whereabouts of the Death Spirit Grass.
Since he couldn’t proceed with the treatment, he simply let it go.
Death Spirit Grass was not an essential Spiritual Medicine for him!
"Lin Tian, I’m sorry for letting you take the blame; it’s all my fault!"
Once the three of them had left the hospital building, Chang Ying said with a face full of regret.
"Sister Chang Ying, no worries! The one at fault should be me!"
Lin Tian smiled slightly, dismissing the matter casually.
"All right, you two, isn’t this just a bit of fun you wanted to have! You little guy, studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and wielding those Silver Needles so professionally; I almost believed you!"
Walking beside them, Changsun Zihui gave the two a glare, then laughed, "It’s Lin Tian’s first time here; I’ll treat you all to something delicious tonight!"
"Alright, when Lin Tian arrives, you treat us to a feast, but I never see you treating me! Tonight, I must make sure you pay extravagantly!"
Chang Ying, with hands on her hips, pouted dissatisfiedly.
Of course, it was clear she was joking.
"Tsk, Yingying, with all those Young Masters from Liiu Yuan City who chase after you, they could circle around a basketball court. As long as you say the word, which star-level hotel couldn’t you go to... I won’t deal with you anymore!"
Changsun Zihui rolled her eyes, then casually placed a hand on Lin Tian’s shoulder, walking without any sign of ladylike demeanor, and whispered into his ear with a breath as gentle as an orchid, "Little brother Lin Tian, whatever you want to eat, I’ll treat you..."
Feeling the warmth by his ear and the fragrant breeze that brushed past his nose, Lin Tian pursed his lips.
Amidst their playful banter, the three soon reached the parking lot and climbed into Changsun Zihui’s sports car.
Ten minutes later.
A party of three arrived at a restaurant in the center of Liiu Rong City.
"This restaurant’s dishes taste pretty good, though I haven’t been here in a long time!"
Changsun Zihui led the way confidently to the front.
Finally, the three of them sat down by a window.
"Here’s the menu, Lin Tian, you can order whatever you like!"
Changsun Zihui pushed the menu across the table to Lin Tian, with a generous air.
"Hmph, I want to order too, and I’ll choose the most expensive dishes!"
Chang Ying snatched the menu away, glaring at Changsun Zihui, "You don’t treat me well at all, who will marry you in the future?"
Watching the two women bickering playfully, Lin Tian shook his head, not being finicky, he reached for the menu.
However, at that moment, Changsun Zihui’s phone rang.
She answered and then hung up after a brief response, her expression turning sour.
"Zihui, what’s wrong?"
Noticing something was off, Chang Ying looked up and asked.
"Ye Fan’s family wants to come over and ask me to agree to annul the marriage!"
Changsun Zihui frowned slightly and sighed.
Hearing this, Chang Ying’s expression slightly changed and she said, "It seems they are truly determined to annul the marriage. And I’ve heard that Ye Fan has returned, supposedly squandering his years abroad before coming back!"
"Annul the marriage?"
Lin Tian looked surprised, took a moment to evaluate Changsun Zihui, then said, "Sister Chang Ying, isn’t Sister Zihui a catch? Beautiful, wealthy, well-born, isn’t she the best choice in every aspect? Only a blind man would want to annul a marriage with her! Could it be that this Ye Fan’s credentials are even more impressive?"
Indeed, looking at Changsun Zihui’s car, and the custom-made clothes she wore, her background couldn’t be anything but prominent.
As for looks, her face definitely scored a 99!
Not to mention her graceful figure, her towering peaks, and long, beautiful legs, she was goddess-level.
Any normal man would definitely be insanely obsessed with her.
"Ye Fan being impressive? Hmph, he’s nothing but a poor loafer and a hoodlum! His family circumstances are quite average, his parents just run a small supermarket, that’s all!"
Chang Ying shook her head, explaining to Lin Tian, "It’s said that Ye Fan’s grandfather and Zihui’s grandfather were life-saving friends. They had an arranged engagement when they were young, and later their marriage was agreed upon. Initially, Zihui planned to deal with it slowly, but then Liiu Yuan City’s Great Clan, the Mengg Family’s Young Master Mengg Zhao took a liking to Zihui. Under pressure from the Mengg Family, Ye Fan’s family couldn’t bear it and offered to annul the marriage voluntarily. Since having such a convenient scapegoat, Zihui naturally didn’t agree to the annulment. Furthermore, with Ye Fan gallivanting abroad, the Mengg Family’s pressure was useless without his own agreement to annul, leaving Mengg Zhao without face, which is why they’ve been pressuring Ye Family to bring Ye Fan back..."
"But according to rumors, Ye Fan learned some skills from a mysterious old man abroad and earned the title of ’King of Mercenaries’ in Africa..."
Pausing for a moment, Chang Ying continued, "Still, the whole ’King of Soldiers’ thing sounds a bit far-fetched!"
"So, Ye Fan is back to annul the marriage now? That’s really lacking in manly pride!"
Lin Tian curled his lips, clearly dissatisfied.
"Lin Tian, are you implying that your sister is quite beautiful?"
Across from him, Changsun Zihui smiled sweetly at Lin Tian, "Why not, just take your sister for yourself, and save me from Mengg Zhao’s constant annoyance!"
Lin Tian twitched the corner of his mouth, suddenly at a loss for words.
At that moment, outside the restaurant, a middle-aged couple walked in.
"It’s Ye Fan’s parents who have arrived! They say Ye Fan will be here shortly after!"
Noticing the couple, Changsun Zihui furrowed her brows, helplessly saying, "Fine, I had planned to call off this engagement myself anyway. Since they’re taking the initiative to annul it, let it be, I don’t care about losing face over this! As for dealing with Mengg Zhao, well, we’ll think of something..."
