“Being a doctor is your main occupation. Banana eating is just a part-time job.”
At one o’clock in the afternoon, the patient was wheeled into the operating theater, and the surgery was about to begin.
The Liu family members were waiting anxiously outside.
However, Xie Xiaotong walked into the stairwell while Liu Jingwei wasn’t paying attention.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Xie Xiaotong went down two floors.
At the top of the stairs stood a fashionable young man with dyed yellow hair and black sunglasses.
The young man was quite tall. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, one could tell that he was several levels more handsome than Liu Jingwei.
“Darling, why are you here? It’ll be troublesome if they see you.”
The man in sunglasses wrapped his arms around Xie Xiaotong’s waist. “Didn’t you say that the old fart’s surgery is today? I couldn’t help but come over to take a look.”
Xie Xiaotong looked upstairs and realized that there was nobody watching, so she did not struggle.
“The doctor said that the success rate of the surgery is only 5%. If there are any complications, he won’t even come out of the operating theater.”
“Are you sure he’s going to die in there?”
“Most likely.” Xie Xiaotong said.
“The chief surgeon today is the best surgeon in Huashan Hospital, Li Chuhan. If even she says that the risk is so high, there’s no need to talk about his recovery. Just wait here for the good news. Once he dies, the tens of millions of assets of the Liu family will be mine. After this, I’ll think of a way to see if we can get Liu Jingwei out of the house with nothing to his name. By then, our goal will be achieved.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
The man in sunglasses patted Xie Xiaotong’s butt. “Go back first. I’ll wait for your good news in the car downstairs.”
Xie Xiaotong kissed the man in sunglasses on the cheek. “Don’t worry, it’ll definitely be fine. In a few hours, that old fart will be dead. By then, everything in the Liu family will be ours.”
After separating, Xie Xiaotong pulled down her skirt and walked back to the operating theater with a calm expression. She even looked anxious.
The Liu family did not notice anything amiss.
Time passed minute by minute. Three hours later, the lights in front of the operating theater went out. Lin Yi, Li Chuhan, and Qiao Xin walked out.
Seeing Li Chuhan, Liu Jingwei and Liu Jingyu immediately went up to her.
“Doctor, how was the surgery? How’s my father?”
“Don’t worry, the surgery was very successful,” Qiao Xin said.
“And Director Li said that as long as he recovers well, he can live for another ten years.”
“Really? That’s great!”
Liu Jingwei knelt on the ground in excitement. “Thank you, Director Li. Thank you, Director Li. From now on, you are our Liu family’s great benefactor.”
The Liu family members were moved to tears. Xie Xiaotong stood rooted to the ground in a daze, feeling terrible.
How could this be? Wasn’t there only a 5% chance of success?
“Director Li, are you sure he’s okay? Were there any complications?”
Li Chuhan glanced at Xie Xiaotong.
“What do you mean? Were you hoping for an accident?”
“No, no, no. That’s not what I meant.” Xie Xiaotong explained, “I’m also happy that the surgery was successful. Thank you, Doctor Li.”
Li Chuhan nodded. “The nurse will be wheeling the patient out soon. You guys can just wait here for a while.”
“Okay, okay, okay. Thank you, Doctor Li.”
Liu Jingwei hugged Xie Xiaotong excitedly and kissed her.
“Honey, thank you. If you hadn’t insisted on the surgery, we definitely wouldn’t have gone through with it.”
Xie Xiaotong stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
After packing up, the three of them returned to the department.
“If there’s nothing else tonight, don’t leave. It’s easy for something to happen on the first night after the surgery. Stay here and watch.”
“Got it, Director Li.”
It was already past five in the evening by the time everything was over. Lin Yi ordered something and took out his phone to chat with Sugar after dinner.
Nothing about her gaming skill level or personality had changed.
However, after working in the hospital for so many days and seeing all kinds of strange patients, Lin Yi’s tolerance toward Sugar increased a lot.
“Are you retarded? Even a dog would be better at playing this game than you.”
“Aiya, stop scolding me. Actually, I’ve improved a lot.” Sugar said shamelessly.
“Let’s play another round. I’ve already learned my lesson.”
“I can’t wait to tell the enemy team that their food has improved.”
He was just killing time. Lin Yi didn’t really care about the results and was prepared to continue playing.
However, at this moment, Liang Ruoxu called.
“Playing games with girls.”
“What kind of business is that?” Liang Ruoxu said.
“We have received almost 40% of the goods from the six major pharmaceutical companies. Of the remaining 60%, half of the stock will be delivered tomorrow. The remaining 30% will take some time to arrive. However, the pharmaceutical companies have already urged customs to let them go.”
At this point, Liang Ruoxu paused for a few seconds. “If you have other plans, you can start preparing.”
Lin Yi stretched. The goods had arrived one after another, and he had to inform Cao Jingqiu to get ready to work.
However, before he could call Cao Jingqiu, Ji Qingyan called.
“Doctor Lin, what are you doing?”
“I just finished eating. I’m on night duty today,” Lin Yi said, “Where are you? Are you home?”
“Yes, I’ve brought everything back. I wouldn’t dare to work overtime without you around.”
“At first, I thought it was fine to work overtime, but after you told me off, I realized I really had to be careful. I’ve already thought it through. When you’re not around, I’ll go home before dark in the future and never stay back late.”
“When I’m not here, go home before dark, and when I’m around, you won’t go home?”
“When you were around, was it up to me if I went home? When have I not been dragged to Jiuzhou Pavilion by you?”
“Hehehe… There’s nothing wrong with saying that.”
“Alright, I won’t talk about it anymore. I still have work to do,” said Ji Qingyan. “Sleep more when you’re not busy. Stay up late at night to take care of your health.”
“You should rest early too.”
The conversation between Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan went like usual.
There was no specific topic to discuss. They simply chatted about life.
Although it was nothing of value, they chatted quite enthusiastically.
After hanging up, Lin Yi’s phone rang again. It was Sugar.
“Weren’t we going to play mafia? Why did you leave?”
“Why are you in such a hurry? Just invite me to rejoin.”
After hanging up, the two of them continued to play games.
“Brother Lin, you seem to be very busy.” Qiao Xin was bored and was skimming through the Conan TV series. “Are all the calls from girls?”
“Children shouldn’t ask about such things.” Lin Yi took the peeled banana from the table and handed it to Qiao Xin.
“Here, have a big banana.”
