"How could Cold Yama choose a Chinese medicine practitioner as his wife? It’s really baffling."
"Chinese medicine is just a scam. Treating illnesses is all about luck. If you’re lucky, the patient drinks the medicine and somehow pulls through. If not, there’s only one path to death!"
"Even universities specializing in medicine hardly have anyone studying Chinese medicine these days, and she’s so young that she can’t achieve anything. How could anyone choose her to treat a patient?
She’s Cold Yama’s wife, deeply connected with Cold Yama’s interests. If something goes wrong, wouldn’t Cold Yama be the one to suffer?"
"Did you hear that? The public’s eyes are sharp! Your identity will only drag Tingyan down. I advise you to leave here as soon as possible!"
Ni Jia spoke with satisfaction, finally regaining some ground in front of Nianyang, feeling great seeing everyone accusing Nianyang.
In a while, she was going to tell Tingyan what’s happening now, let him know he chose trouble as a wife, maybe Tingyan would angrily break up with Gu Nianyang. Ni Jia couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased at the thought.
Only she, as the First Female Doctor, deserves to match Tingyan’s status!
Nianyang didn’t care what the crowd thought of her. She bent low and whispered to Assistant Wang’s ear,
"Assistant Wang, Chinese medicine relies on a personal connection. If you trust me, I’ll treat you. The choice is in your hands."
Nianyang wouldn’t force someone to accept her treatment just to promote Chinese medicine culture. She fully respects the patient’s wishes. If they don’t trust her, so be it. If they do, she’ll do her utmost to cure them.
Although Assistant Wang was nearly numb with pain, he could feel the gentle and trustworthy power in Nianyang’s tone. Without hesitation, he said,
"Saozi, you treat me. I trust you!"
Nianyang felt warmth in her heart. They say doctors are compassionate, but they’re not saints. The trust of a patient is much more comforting than hurtful skepticism.
"Assistant Wang, have you lost your mind? You’re actually letting this village girl treat you? Chinese medicine can kill people. Are you looking for death?!"
Ni Jia was furious. She wanted to see Assistant Wang refuse Nianyang and mock Nianyang. Unexpectedly, Assistant Wang was so out of tune!
"Assistant Wang, you should think it through. Don’t blindly trust just because she’s General Manager Li’s wife. You should choose Doctor Ni instead." Sheng Feng also advised, his opinion of Nianyang growing more negative.
A village woman, seducing his boss with her looks, fine. But now she’s going too far, wanting to use ineffective Chinese medicine to heal and save people. Doesn’t she see what’s happening now? Is this the time for a little girl like her to blindly show off?
If something goes wrong with the treatment, his boss will be implicated too!
"I just want Saozi to treat me!" Assistant Wang replied weakly but firmly. He didn’t understand the difference between Chinese and Western medicine, but he just felt Saozi was trustworthy.
She’s his boss’s beloved, he trusts his boss’s judgment, he’s willing to put his life in Saozi’s hands.
"So stubborn!" Ni Jia cursed through clenched teeth, then turned to the other people on the sickbed, "What about you? Do you want me, the professional Western doctor, to treat you, or let this so-called Chinese medicine treat you?"
"No need to ask, we’re all seafarers here. Obviously, we fully defer to you, Doctor Ni. We wouldn’t dare let Cold Yama’s wife harm the people here!"
The doctor there stood up and replied earnestly.
Nianyang and Ni Jia, one practiced Chinese medicine, the other Western medicine.
One was an inept little girl, the other a distinguished graduate from First Medical University.
Even a fool knows what choice to make!
