8: Chapter 008: [Here Cos the Divine Doctor] 8: Chapter 008: [Here Cos the Divine Doctor] On the evening of the third day, Su Yuxin got out of bed for the first ti since she had returned to the villa.
Due to the full outbreak of yin energy within her body, Su Yuxin couldn’t eat anything over the past three days and had only drunk so water.
She looked extrely pale and weak, and when she got out of bed, she couldn’t stand steady at all.
Su Liuli and Mrs.
Su imdiately ca to her aid, supporting Su Yuxin from both sides as they walked toward the living room on the first floor.
“Huff…
Huff…”
The short distance from the second-floor bedroom to the first-floor living room was an arduous journey for Su Yuxin.
By the ti she sat on the sofa, she was gasping for breath, seemingly without a trace of strength in her body, and leaned powerlessly against the sofa.
Seeing this, Mrs.
Su’s eyes reddened, and she gently patted Su Yuxin on the back, while Su Liuli felt like her heart was being gripped by a large hand, aching intensely.
Not knowing how to comfort Su Yuxin, she could only pin her hopes on the Divine Doctor who was about to arrive.
Shortly after Su Yuxin’s breathing gradually returned to normal, an old man dressed in silk clothes entered the villa, accompanied by Uncle Fu.
“Dad!”
“Grandpa!”
Upon seeing the Su Family Patriarch, Su Hongyuan, Mrs.
Su and Su Liuli both got up imdiately to greet him.
“Grand…
Grandpa…”
Su Yuxin tried to struggle to her feet to pay her respects to Su Hongyuan but was too weak to stand up.
“Yuxin, don’t get up,” Su Hongyuan hastily stopped Su Yuxin’s movents.
“Thank…
Thank you, Grandpa, for caring so much about Yuxin,” Su Yuxin said, abandoning the thought of getting up to pay respects.
“Silly girl, you’ve contributed so much to the Su Family.
What’s a visit from your grandpa compared to that?” Mr.
Su sighed, his gaze toward Su Yuxin extrely complicated, filled with self-reproach, reluctance, and pity.
After a mont, he adjusted his emotions and asked, “When will the doctor arrive?”
“An hour ago, Lady Chu called to say they would arrive before six,” Su Yuxin answered truthfully.
As the sound of Su Yuxin’s voice faded, the sound of a car parking ca from outside.
The sound prompted everyone, including Su Hongyuan, to think the Divine Doctor had arrived.
They looked pleased and turned their gaze to the entrance of the living room in unison.
But it wasn’t the Divine Doctor who had arrived—it was Su Feiyu!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a triumphant Su Feiyu appeared at the entrance of the living room.
Bathed in the setting sun, it was clear to see that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned with a smile he couldn’t hide, as if he had so joyful news he couldn’t wait to share with others.
And indeed that was the case.
Because he didn’t believe that an obscure quack could cure Su Yuxin’s illness, he had tid his arrival to the Su Family’s No.2 Villa so that he could witness the tragic shift from hope to despair in Su Yuxin!
He wanted to rub salt into the wounds of Su Yuxin’s battered heart, to vent the resentnts he had harbored over the past two years due to her suppression.
Su Feiyu?
Seeing Su Feiyu, everyone was taken aback.
“Grandpa.”
Compared to everyone else, Su Feiyu’s surprise was even greater.
In his astonishnt, he promptly greeted Su Hongyuan with a salute and then, seeing no response, quickly turned to Su Yuxin with a feigned concern and asked, “Yu Xin, how do you feel?”
“Thank you for your concern, Cousin Feiyu, I am feeling a bit better,” Su Yuxin replied, although she was well aware of Su Feiyu’s act but did not want to expose him in front of Su Hongyuan.
“Yu Xin, I heard that a Divine Doctor was coming to treat you.
I’m sure they will be able to cure your illness,” Su Feiyu continued the act.
“Hmph!”
Having always had a poor impression of Su Feiyu and having just witnessed his excited deanor, Su Liuli was now annoyed at his insincere act.
However, due to Su Hongyuan’s presence, she dared not make a scene and rely let out a cold snort.
Su Feiyu pretended not to hear Su Liuli’s cold snort but instead sneakily glanced at Su Hongyuan.
Seeing that Su Hongyuan was expressionless, he hesitated for a mont, then continued his act, “Grandfather, do you know when the Divine Doctor will arrive?”
“Young Master Feiyu, the Divine Doctor will arrive soon.”
Seeing the mood turn sowhat eerie, Uncle Fu quickly spoke up to smooth things over, yet he understood in his heart that, although Su Feiyu masked it well, he couldn’t deceive Su Hongyuan.
Realizing all of this, he couldn’t help but sigh silently in his heart.
From his perspective, if Su Yuxin were a daughter and seriously ill, the position of the Su Family Patriarch would never fall upon Su Feiyu’s head.
However…
there are no ifs in this world.
In his opinion, it would be a blessing if Su Yuxin could even save her life!
As if to confirm Uncle Fu’s speculation, after witnessing Su Feiyu’s act, Su Hongyuan’s face grew uglier, and his gaze towards Su Feiyu beca extrely sharp.
With a guilty conscience, Su Feiyu felt a pang in his heart when faced with Su Hongyuan’s sharp gaze, and he dared not continue his act.
Instead, he moved aside like a well-behaved child in kindergarten and waited with Su Hongyuan and the others for the Divine Doctor’s arrival.
All of this only caused the resentnt in his heart to not only go unvented but to rise steeply.
He sneered incessantly within his heart, “The old man seems to care a great deal about that bitch Su Yuxin’s fate, doesn’t he?
But what’s the use of that?
Can he really save that bitch from King Yan’s grasp?”
At the sa ti.
Ye Fan, dressed in a long robe and carrying a black canvas bag on his back, walked along the roads of the Jiuxi Rose Garden Noble District.
Under the setting sun, his odd attire and the worn canvas bag in his hand stood out incongruously against everything around him, causing those who saw Ye Fan from afar to be filled with doubts: How could security let this kind of person in?
Ye Fan, however, paid no attention to their stares.
Following the directions on the sign at the entrance, he headed straight for Su Family’s No.2 Villa.
At seventeen fifty-five, Ye Fan arrived at Su Family’s No.2 Villa.
“Hello, this is a private villa.
Who are you looking for?”
At the entrance of the villa, a Su Family’s Bodyguard stopped Ye Fan’s path.
Although polite, he was particular in observing Ye Fan with a wary eye.
Although he knew that a Divine Doctor was expected to co and treat the young lady this afternoon, he couldn’t believe that Ye Fan before him was the Divine Doctor who had even Mr.
Su astir!
For one thing, although Ye Fan’s attire had the air of a hermit, his robe was rather worn, and the canvas bag in his hands looked like sothing even a migrant worker would disdain.
Most importantly, Ye Fan was too young!
Far too young!
In hospitals, doctors of Ye Fan’s age probably hadn’t even shed the title of intern yet.
“Hello, my na is Ye Fan.
I’ve been entrusted to co and treat Miss Su Yuxin.”
As the Su Family’s Bodyguard silently made his judgnt, Ye Fan observed his expression without missing a beat and, unconcerned, replied calmly and confidently.
“You…
you’re treating the young lady?!”
Startled by Ye Fan’s words, the Bodyguard’s expression instantly stiffened, and his face was totally overtaken by shock.
Shortly thereafter…
he suddenly recalled that the Divine Doctor expected to treat the young lady did indeed have the surna Ye, and his face was imdiately flooded with a panicked look as he stamred, “I…
I’m sorry, Divine Doctor Ye, I was blind and failed to recognize Taishan.
I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
As his words ended, the Su Family’s Bodyguard stole a quick glance at Ye Fan, and seeing that Ye Fan hadn’t taken offense, he breathed a silent sigh of relief.
He bowed respectfully as if a servant from ancient tis was facing his master, saying, “Divine Doctor Ye, my Family Head and the young lady are in the hall waiting for you.
Please follow .”
“Very well.”
Ye Fan nodded slightly and followed the Su Family’s Bodyguard into the villa’s yard, heading straight towards the main building.
