Su Yurou stood nearby, watching as Wu Ruofei was carried into the clinic. A trace of cruelty flickered in her eyes.
“Su Yingxue, even if you refuse to accept Wu Ruofei this time, you will still suffer consequences!” Su Yurou muttered.
Wu Ruofei was brought into the clinic and explicitly requested that Su Yingxue treat her.
Manager Qi had an exceptional memory, so how could he forget her previous conflicts with Su Yingxue? He quickly put on a smile and said, “Miss, our Dr. Su is currently occupied. You’ll need to wait for a few hours. Why don’t we have another doctor attend to you? Dr. Du, here, is particularly skilled at treating muscle and bone injuries!”
“I’m a female patient. 1 can’t allow a male doctor to examine me. How will 1 ever marry in the future? Today is the fifteenth day of the month. Isn’t Dr. Su known for treating women? If she has many patients, 1’11 wait!”
Wu Ruofei sat in a wheelchair surrounded by four male servants and four maids, occupying a considerable space.
Having attracted attention, she recited everything Su Yurou had coached her to say.
Manager Qi found it quite challenging to handle the situation.
He instructed his apprentice to keep an eye on Wu Ruofei while he went to consult Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue furrowed her brow. “Did Wu Ruofei say that?”
“Yes, indeed. Miss Wu is behaving completely differently from her previous disruptive self. 1 had her wait outside, and she didn’t even get angry. This time, it seems she came prepared,” Manager Qi said, clearly worried.
It was too difficult for his young Miss to open this clinic!
There were always people who wanted to find trouble with her!
“Never mind. Have someone bring her inside. I’ll treat her.” Su Yingxue waved her hand dismissively.
“But Miss, what if she intends to harm you…”
“Then I’ll disable her first!”
Su Yingxue’s eyes flashed with cold determination. If she could break Wu Ruofei’s limbs once, she could break her bones twice!
Wu Ruofei was carried into Su Yingxue’s treatment room. With no one to rely on, she felt somewhat apprehensive about facing Su Yingxue alone.
Su Yingxue exuded an icy aura when her face turned cold.
She approached Wu Ruofei, who trembled in fear. “What… what are you doing?”
Su Yingxue rolled her eyes. “You came for medical treatment, so how can I treat you if 1 don’t examine you?”
“You… you… Be gentle!”
“Su Yingxue, what are you doing? Be gentler!”
“It hurts! Father! Mother! Sob, sob, sob… It hurts!”
Su Yingxue removed all the bandages from Wu Ruofei’s hands and feet, inspecting her wounds. She spoke icily, “I’ll apply some medicine and put a cast on you. Go back and rest! You’ll be fine in less than a month!”
“I’m not going back! Su Yingxue, 1 want to stay here and recover!” Wu Ruofei cried out in pain, her voice tearful yet stubborn.
“I don’t have a place for recovery here!”
“Nonsense, you have a ward here. I’m a patient here to see a doctor, so 1 can stay here!”
Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow. “You can recover at home. How did you even know that I opened a ward here?”
It had only been three days since she established the ward, and Wu Ruofei was already eager to move in. Such a coincidence seemed unlikely!
Wu Ruofei appeared fearful of being exposed and hastily explained, “It was my father who said so! He doesn’t have time to take care of me, and here… as long as it helps me recover quickly, 1 don’t care! I want to stay in the ward!”
Su Yingxue sneered. “You can stay in the ward, but first, pay the consultation fee.”
“Ten thousand taels.”
“Su Yingxue, how can you be so heartless! Seeing a doctor and staying in a ward couldn’t possibly cost ten thousand taels!” Wu Ruofei gritted her teeth.
“Do you want to stay or not?”
