Gu Anxi grinned. "So, you’re not only fluent in French, but your Italian is aweso too!"
Old Wang’s face turned beet red, and he lay on his hospital bed, refusing to interact with anyone.
Old Madam Wang shot Gu Anxi a stern glance, speaking with authority, "Don’t bully him."
Gu Anxi almost burst out laughing, and so did the two young nurses.
But Old Wang looked completely satisfied!
What a character!
Just then, the door to the VIP ward opened, and a man in his fifties walked in. He had a face frequently seen on TV—a figure of great prestige.
With his entrance, the very air around them seed to solidify.
Gu Anxi’s sharp eyes quickly noticed Bo Jingshen among the group following the man, showing extre deference.
She chuckled. So, even he has days when he has to bow to others.
Gu Anxi stood straight, watching the man. He didn’t look at her, instead greeting Old Madam Wang directly, "Mother."
Old Madam Wang sat quietly, her gaze shifting toward the hospital bed.
King Jingyao, seemingly aware of the situation, spoke gently as if comforting a child, "Dad, what’s bothering you this ti?"
Old Wang turned away. "Dr. Bo isn’t here. There’s no one to do my surgery."
King Jingyao chuckled. "Oh, so that’s what this is about!"
His tone was genuinely gentle, almost indulgent—a rare sight for Gu Anxi.
Soon, however, she found herself pinned by a pair of sharp eyes, a stark contrast to his earlier gentleness.
The man looked at her for a mont, then sat on the sofa. Bo Jingshen and the others naturally gathered around him.
It was like stars clustering around the moon.
"I heard Xichen left and you took over as my father’s attending physician?" King Jingyao asked coolly.
Gu Anxi nodded. "Yes."
The man gave a faint smile. "I hear you’re just over twenty. In that case, prepare for an imdiate hospital transfer for my father."
Gu Anxi was sowhat taken aback. It was one thing for Old Wang to throw a tantrum, but was this man serious?
Despite how she usually teased the old man, she now had to advocate for her patient’s well-being. "Old Wang’s previous operation was perford by Professor Bo, and I’m scheduled to be the chief surgeon for the next one. I am Professor Bo’s only student."
The man stood up, brushed off his trousers, and turned his head. "Jingshen, aside from being Xichen’s student, what other identity does Dr. Gu have?"
Bo Jingshen looked rather uncomfortable. After a glance at Gu Anxi, he cleared his throat. "She’s also Xichen’s fiancée."
The man had clearly made up his mind. "That settles it! This ti, I question Xichen’s decision."
Gu Anxi remained very calm. "May I ask which hospital you intend to transfer him to?"
She had a hunch; apart from Jiang’s Hospital, there weren’t many other options.
So, she smiled. "What is Old Madam Wang’s opinion? And Old Wang’s?"
Old Wang’s head peeked out just a little. Are they really transferring ? This place is quite nice! Why transfer?
Old Madam Wang calmly asked her son, "Are you sure the operation at Jiang’s Hospital will be successful?"
King Jingyao squatted down, holding his mother’s hand. "Mom, I’ve consulted thoroughly with Jiang Bin. Dr. Jiang at their hospital, Xichen’s junior, has outstanding clinical experience. I believe there’s no surgeon in Beicheng more skilled than her right now."
Old Madam Wang was silent for a mont, then looked at Old Wang.
Old Wang’s mouth, with only half its teeth remaining, flattened into a pout, looking quite aggrieved.
Thus, Old Madam Wang suggested, "Why don’t we just stay here then?"
She looked up at Gu Anxi. "Can you guarantee the operation will go smoothly?"
"I can," Gu Anxi responded decisively.
Old Madam Wang then looked at her son. "Jingyao, what do you say?"
King Jingyao coaxed his mother, "That Dr. Jiang is very capable."
Old Madam Wang glanced at Gu Anxi. "This young doctor also seems quite capable."
"Mom, please listen to on this. I’ve just co from Jiang’s Hospital; everything is already arranged!" King Jingyao had clearly made his decision. "We’re transferring Dad imdiately."
Given his eminent status and decisive nature, who could stop him?
Old Madam Wang also trusted her son. But looking at her husband... he seed to want to stay.
Old Madam Wang said, "Dr. Gu, it seems we’ll transfer then."
Gu Anxi, hands in her pockets, replied crisply, "Alright. But the transfer form must clearly state that you assu full responsibility for all consequences. Otherwise, I can’t answer to Professor Bo."
This task had been assigned by her uncle, Bo Nianyao, and dealing with such an influential figure, she had to be cautious.
Besides, Jiang Chaoge truly wasn’t capable of handling this surgery.
Old Wang’s body was extrely fragile, and the surgery itself was highly risky. With Jiang Chaoge’s mind clouded by the allure of fa and fortune, how could she possibly provide him with due diligence?
Gu Anxi didn’t try to persuade them further. She wasn’t a saint. With such a high-ranking individual making such a montous decision, what difference could a few more or fewer words from her make?
However, before Old Wang left, Gu Anxi slipped out and returned with a set of "Big Bad Wolf" picture books for him. "Try looking at these instead," she said. "Sotis French, English, and Italian can all sound like gibberish... I an, when you’re pretending to understand but actually don’t!"
Old Wang imdiately perked up, yelping twice, "Jingyao, look! She’s teasing again!"
How amusing! Boohoo, your old man wants to stay and be teased by her!
But how could such an influential figure understand the profound complexities of such a character? He decisively had Old Wang airlifted away. Only Old Madam Wang asked Gu Anxi for her phone number before leaving, complinting her on her Italian...
After they had all left, Gu Anxi touched her nose, musing to herself, What a strange family. The father can’t control the son, and the son doesn’t understand his father.
Bo Jingshen, who hadn’t left, overheard her and chuckled. "To win over Old Wang and Old Madam Wang in just half a day—that’s quite impressive."
Gu Anxi gave a faint smile. "What’s the use? They left anyway, didn’t they?"
Bo Jingshen paused for a mont before saying aningfully, "Actually, it might be a good thing. If sothing had happened to him in our hospital, we would have been held accountable."
Gu Anxi nodded. "True. But if sothing happens at Jiang’s Hospital, wouldn’t my uncle, Bo Nianyao, still be blad? Whether overtly or covertly, would the criticism truly lessen?"
Interesting! Bo Jingshen regarded the young woman before him, finally understanding why Bo Nianyao held her in such high regard. She truly is remarkably perceptive and ticulous!
He cleared his throat. "Then why didn’t you try to stop them? Why did you let them leave?"
Gu Anxi replied pointedly, "Does Minister Bo believe I could have stopped them?"
She paused. "Besides, a prominent mber of the Wang family showed up right after my uncle, Bo Nianyao, left. Isn’t that rather quick for news to travel?"
As she said this, her gaze, sharp as electricity, swept over Bo Jingshen.
Bo Jingshen smiled. "Anxi, you’re the first person to dare question like this."
"Oh, is that so?" Gu Anxi also smiled. "And from what does Minister Bo infer that I was questioning you?"
Bo Jingshen sighed. "I am acting for the good of the Bo family."
