Chapter 424-425

Chapter 424: Treat Me to Some Food ... With just one operation, Yun Xi’s name spread throughout the medical circles in Jingdu. After the news that the operation had been successful, Yun Xi received a personal call from the head of the Si family. Yun Xi wasn’t surprised that the news had spread so quickly. After all, the wife of the Si family’s patriarch was still waiting for this operation in order to save her life, so there was a lot of attention being paid to this issue. “Okay, I see. Later, I will come to the Si family’s mansion with Professor Joseph and talk to you in person.” 　 　 After hanging up the phone, Yun Xi glanced at Mu Feichi and stretched. Her clear eyes sparkled. “I’m so hungry, Young Marshal Mu. Treat me to some food.” “All right, what do you want to eat?” Mu Feichi responded, with a soft, mirthful expression in his eyes, . “Spicy hot pot.” “No way.” “Mandarin duck pot.” “Is there a difference?” “Butter Hot Pot.” “You can only eat spicy food once a week. Don’t even think about it at other times.” “You’re so stingy. It’s not like you can’t afford to eat hot pot.” “If you’re going to become a doctor, you should know that you can’t eat a lot of that kind of stuff.” “Eating hot pot in winter is the most satisfying.” “No. Let’s go to Jinding.” “...” No one could change what Mu Feichi had decided. In the end, Yun Xi could only follow him to Jinding for dinner. ... The patriarch of the Si family had been waiting at the Si family mansion since the early morning. Upon seeing Yun Xi, the first thing he said wasn’t about the operation, but to tell her that his wife wanted to see her. She wasn’t surprised that Madame wanted to see her. She coincidentally also wanted to talk to Madame about her coming operation. 　 　 Regardless of whether the patriarch of the Si family would agree to let her undergo the operation, in line with doctors’ principles, Yun Xi would never ignore a patient. In the newly modernized ward in the Si family mansion, Yun Xi saw the Si family Madame. Her complexion looked quite good, much better than her complexion had looked on the day she had hemoptysis. However, Si Wenxuan, who was at her mother’s bedside, glared at Yun Xi with contempt and disdain in her eyes. As soon as she saw Mu Feichi, who’d come in behind Yun Xi, she stood up from her chair and rushed over with an ecstatic expression. “Brother Chi, you’re here. You left without saying a word the other day, and my mother even asked about you.” Mu Feichi didn’t pay her any mind. He followed Yun Xi to the bedside and politely greeted Madame Si. Xiao Weijun looked at Yun Xi and carefully took note of the fact that the girl was in a feminine outfit today. She looked about the same age as her daughter, but she had a more elegant and classy aura than her daughter. “Girl, is your name Yun Xi? Thank you for saving me in the flower room the other day. My daughter unkindly wronged you.” When she’d woken up that day, she’d heard someone say that she had been kindly saved by Yun Xi, yet her daughter had tied Yun Xi up. It had indeed been very rude of them. Yun Xi smiled, then glanced at Si Wenxuan’s dissatisfied expression and said airily, “Madame, you’re too courteous. In that situation, anyone would’ve been anxious.” “I heard that you just cooperated with Professor Joseph and completed a very successful operation. How knowledgeable are you about my illness?” 　 　 Only when people feel very ill did they realize the preciousness of life. After Dr. Carl had told her about the stressful situation that day, she had felt scared, and even now she continued to be afraid. If she’d really suffocated and died that day, she would never have been able to see her loved ones again. She didn’t want to die yet. There were still many things left to be done, so she was reluctant to just die now. “Madame’s condition is roughly the same as that of the patient who I operated on today. I will discuss with Professor Joseph whether there are other complications that need to be checked again. Professor Joseph will come over later, and everyone can listen to his opinion.” She was no longer in a hurry, but the patriarch and his wife were anxious. She didn’t know if it was because they were afraid that she would have second thoughts or that there could be unforeseen events. She quickly called Professor Joseph to come over to discuss the plans and countermeasures. Yun Xi had a headache. Before, they hadn’t believed in her medical skills, so everyone was speculating and in no rush to proceed. Now that her operation had been successful, they were even more anxious than she was for it to take place. *** Chapter 425: Throw Miss Si Out! ... Once the doctors were all present, a round of discussions ensued. After reading Dr. Carl’s examination report and confirming that the operation could be performed in the near future, Professor Joseph chose an operation time and asked Yun Xi’s opinion. Naturally, Yun Xi didn’t dare delay the time too much. After confirming that there would be no conflict with her biology competition and her English contest, she agreed to a time. The longer the delay, the more anxious everyone would get. Also, Yun Xi felt that once the time had been set, she could set aside time to prepare. But as soon as Yun Xi had agreed to a time, Si Wenxuan stood up and opposed her. 　 　 “Dad, what could this little girl know? How can you place Mother’s life in her hands? If something goes amiss, ten of her lives wouldn’t be enough to pay for my mother’s. Don’t be fooled by her big talk.” Si Wenxuan glared at Yun Xi angrily. She had never seen such a shameless person, someone so desperate to social climb. Even Doctor Carl couldn’t do anything about her mother’s illness. How could a little girl like this do anything? How was she able to bluff so unashamedly? Her father had lost his wits in his desperation to find a doctor. They wouldn’t be able to do anything if something bad really happened to her mother. “Wenxuan, shut up!” Si Jingting glared at Si Wenxuan warningly with a fierce expression in his eyes. “It’s not your place to speak here.” “Dad, this is my mother, how can you possibly risk killing her? We don’t know anything about this girl. Who knows what her ulterior motives might be? Maybe she approached us with some ulterior motives to harm my mother. What could happen? Have you forgotten what happened more than ten years ago? Although I don’t remember since I was still young then, my mother became like this today because of the cumulative side effects of what happened back then.” Upon the mention of that incident more than ten years ago, Si Jingting’s face sank. At that time, he hadn’t been the head of the Si family, although the Si family had been a prominent family in Jingdu alongside three other prominent families. The four families: the Mu family, the Si family, the Huo family, and the Jiang family, all stood side by side. 　 　 He had been the youngest son of the Si family, so he wouldn’t have gotten the family inheritance. However, because of his father’s bias toward him, bloodshed had started between the brothers within the family. As the heir and the beneficiary of the old man’s will, he’d been hunted down by his elder brother before he could even assume the position of power. The power struggle between giants was more cruel and ruthless than the cheesy bloodshed one saw in dramas. People weren’t betrayed by strangers, but by their best friends. It was because of his stupid trust in someone that their entire family had almost lost their lives. He had taken his wife and daughter to escape, and Xiao Weijun’s illness had been caused by the side effects of the suffering she had experienced when they were fleeing. Its cumulative effects had caused her to lapse into her current state. If it hadn’t been for the fact that the heads of the other three families had helped him, he wouldn’t be where he was today. After he’d secured his position as the head of the family, the first thing he’d done was to cleanse his family of all their enemies, and now he had enough capabilities to firmly safeguard his position. Currently, Jingdu still had four prominent families standing side by side. The Si family and the other three prominent families had reached an agreement to never fight each other, and it was basically a way to pay off the debts owed to them from the past. At that time, they’d mistakenly put their trust in someone close to them, so now that they needed to trust again, the mention of that incident crossed Si Jingting’s bottom line. 　 　 Si Jingting’s face changed immediately, and his sharp eyes revealed the piercing and icy gleam of someone in a position of power. “Shut up! I’ve told you so many times that you’re not allowed to mention this ever again. You get out. It’s not up to you to call the shots here.” “I won’t leave! This is my mother, and I won’t allow you to hurt her. My mother can wait until the hospital finds an assistant suitable for Professor Joseph. He must be a qualified doctor, not a girl of an unknown background like her.” Without waiting for Si Jingting to respond, Mu Feichi turned his head coldly and rushed outside the door to order the waiting Qi Yuan and Feng Rui, “Come in, throw Miss Si out.” “Brother Chi! What do you mean?” When she heard that the person who had spoken was Mu Feichi, Si Wenxuan was stunned. She looked at him incredulously, as if she hadn’t ever expected him to treat her like that. Especially since this was her home, the Si family mansion, and she was the daughter of the prominent Si family. He dared to order her to be thrown out. No! She didn’t believe he had the guts.
