Chapter 425: Chapter 376: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 16_2
These words from her unexpectedly took Xie Yanshang by surprise. Initially, he thought that a girl of her age, upon learning how frail her body was, would be utterly disheartened. At the very least, some emotional upheaval should have been visible on her face, but Su Zhiruan did not display any of the reactions he anticipated. Instead, when he looked her way, her face revealed a faint smile, “Still, I would like to thank Dr. Xie. Your medical skills are quite impressive.”
Hearing this, Xie Yanshang said nothing more. He nodded, then his well-defined large hands landed on the keyboard as he began to type.
The clinic was completely silent. Su Qin had fallen into a state of anxiety and urgency. He had never imagined that his negligence could have caused such significant harm to his daughter’s body. He had only thought his daughter was unusually thin, but it turned out that her thinness was not merely cosmetic but due to malnutrition coupled with a variety of weaknesses. He was overwhelmed with deep guilt.
Seeing Xie Yanshang writing a prescription, Su Zhiruan did not speak either, just continued to sit quietly and observe the clinic.
Room decor sometimes aptly reflects the owner’s personality. After her observation, she made her conclusions about it.
This time, the son of the dimensional plane seemed to be similar in character to those in the previous worlds.
His desk was arranged very neatly and the potted plants were well-cared-for; the floor was spotless. The air was filled with a faint medicinal scent, pleasant and not at all displeasing.
From Su Qin’s earlier behavior, it seemed that this son of the dimensional plane must hold an important status. Although she only received the most basic character introductions from the system and couldn’t understand in detail what the Xie Family was exactly like, just by observing Su Qin’s earlier dialogue and expression, she knew the Xie Family must be a more formidable family than the Su Family.
After looking around, Su Zhiruan shifted her gaze back to Xie Yanshang.
This time, Xie Yanshang was exceptionally handsome. He had short hair and a high nose bridge. Even in a beauty-filled entertainment industry, he would be an actor of award-winning caliber. Yet, his demeanor was extraordinary; he had both the proficient and cool demeanor of a doctor and the refined grace of a nobleman, enhanced by his exceptional appearance—he looked like a favored child of heaven as he sat in his chair.
She could guess that his personality must be aloof, and he must be a very opinionated person. After all, being able to choose to become a doctor instead of taking over family business enterprises must mean he has his own convictions and interests.
After a while of working, he looked up at Su Zhiruan and her father and spoke, “I have written a prescription. You can go collect it, and have the pharmacy prep it into granules for you to take home and brew, or you can take home the prepared herbal packs to decoct.”
“Dad, could you get it for me?” Su Zhiruan lifted her head to look at Su Qin.
All consumed by his affection for his daughter, when he heard her say this, Su Qin had no objections and quickly said, “Alright, alright, I’ll go get the medicine right now. You can wait here or come out and wait for me outside. I will be right back.”
Su Zhiruan nodded, then watched as Su Qin left the room.
“Why didn’t you leave?” Xie Yanshang heard the door closing and lifted his head, but seeing Su Zhiruan still seated, he asked and gave her a look, pausing his work.
“Dr. Xie, may I add your contact information?” Su Zhiruan asked. She did not hold much hope, knowing doctors are busy and do not typically add each patient on social media, but she wanted to try, hence she added, “I’ve been plagued by these illnesses and aches for over a decade since I was a child but never had anyone bring me to see a doctor. I’ve just endured on my own. Now, seeing your expert medical skills, I thought I might consult you if I have problems in the future.”
“Sorry, I don’t add patients’ contact information. If you need anything later, just make an appointment,” Xie Yanshang refused her, not sparing Su Zhiruan another glance.
But Su Zhiruan was not in a rush; she calmly nodded, showing no displeasure, but smiled politely and stood up, “Alright, thank you very much for today, Dr. Xie. I’ll take my leave now and not disturb you any further.”
