He couldn’t help but reminisce—if he hadn’t been persuaded by his family to publicly reveal that the Quinlan family had an imposter daughter, what would have happened if he had insisted on keeping it a secret?
Had the matter of the real and fake heiress not been made public, his company should have been progressing smoothly now, with one daughter recomnded to the National Artists University, and the other ’daughter’ to Tsinghua University... Everyone should have been envious of him...
Unfortunately, there’s no dicine for regret in this world!
Jeff Quinlan found himself rooted to the spot at that mont, unable to move a step for a long ti.
It was precisely then that Mr. Jones noticed them and said in a low voice, "Mr. Quinlan, you can go and take care of the transfer procedures now."
"Oh right, we’ll head there imdiately." Jeff Quinlan actually wanted to stay and see if Nathalie would agree to go to Tsinghua University, although he felt there was no reason for Nathalie to refuse!
But since the headmaster had urged them on, it would be inappropriate for him to shalessly remain there.
Jeff Quinlan cast a profound glance at the girl inside the office, having a myriad of thoughts he wished to express, but given the circumstances, he had to hold them all back, took a deep breath, and said to Ghania Quinlan, "Ghania, let’s go."
"Okay." Ghania likewise wanted to see if Nathalie would eventually choose Tsinghua University, but since Jeff Quinlan had called her, she could only hesitantly follow Jeff’s steps.
...
The headmaster’s office instantly lost two people, and the air seed to freshen up.
Nathalie heard Draven Garland still asking her whether she wanted to go to Tsinghua University, she slipped her hands into her pockets, slightly lifted the corners of her eyes, and said, "Western dicine? What I want to learn is Chinese dicine."
As soon as she spoke, the office quieted down considerably.
Draven Garland subconsciously glanced over at Adelle Wafford.
Everyone in Tsinghua University knew that Professor Wafford disliked Chinese dicine the most, having openly declared it nothing but superstitious hogwash, involving constant toying with so-called dicinal herbs which were rely roots, bark, insects, and such, that not only fail to cure illnesses and save lives but often delay patients’ optimal treatnt tis.
Therefore, within the dical Departnt of Tsinghua University, there had always been two opposing powers.
One faction steadfastly supported the usefulness of Chinese dicine, while the other, like Adelle Wafford, believed it had more of a placebo effect and was of no use whether one studied it or not.
Those who had co were all from the clinical disciplines, which plainly put, belonged to the western dicine-dominated field of surgery.
They had seen Nathalie perform neurosurgical craniotomy techniques, which were very rare, but since they were surgical, they certainly didn’t fall under the realm of Chinese dicine. Draven Garland never expected her to express an interest in studying Chinese dicine.
Indeed.
Adelle Wafford’s face color suddenly took a dive, her gaze sharpening, "You said you want to learn Chinese dicine?"
"Yes." Nathalie was quite direct, not beating around the bush, and succinctly expressed her thoughts, "If I am to study dicine, I’ll only study Chinese dicine."
"Hah!" Adelle Wafford couldn’t help feeling exasperated between her brows, staring at her and saying, "What can you learn from studying Chinese dicine? I’ve seen your videos; isn’t the way you save people western dicine?"
If she saved people using the thods of western dicine, what was the point of saying she wanted to study Chinese dicine?!
Her perception of Nathalie abruptly soured, to say from the first ti she laid eyes on Nathalie, she had never been pleased!
A girl too beautiful wasn’t suitable for studying dicine, which was sothing that required deep concentration and deliberation.
Girls with too much beauty faced too many temptations in life; very few can truly quieten their minds.
Now Nathalie was saying she wanted to study Chinese dicine, with an attitude that seed to favor it over western dicine, and Adelle Wafford’s impression of Nathalie hit rock bottom.
