If there's anything wrong with Chapter 89, it should be discussed face-to-face.
Jiang Zhicheng glanced at her and said, "You haven't done anything wrong, so why are you afraid that others will have designs on you?"
"I haven't done anything wrong, but I can't stop people from eyeing me." Xia Yuhuan pouted.
For example, Xia Jianyong definitely wishes she were dead; she was certain of that.
However, she didn't care, since she also wanted to kill Xia Jianyong, so they were evenly matched.
Jiang Zhicheng didn't refute her, but nodded with a smile: "That's right, it's normal for people to be hated because of your personality."
Xia Yuhuan snorted, "Am I bad-tempered? Teacher, I'll get angry if you say that. I have such a likable personality, and you still dislike me! No wonder you didn't have any apprentices before, you deserve it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhicheng opened his mouth, almost wanting to scold her.
Is it because he can't find apprentices that he doesn't have any?
That's because he has high standards and doesn't just take on apprentices casually!
In his view, to be his apprentice, one must first have good character, and secondly, one must have good talent.
A person with bad character becoming a doctor is harmful. If someone lacks talent, they are likely to end up with a skill that is neither high nor low, making both the student and the teacher uncomfortable. That's why he has never taken on any apprentices.
He was overjoyed to have met Xia Yuhuan, whose talent was truly astonishing.
In addition, she was Chi Shaokang's daughter-in-law, and judging from Old Chi's attitude towards her, her character should be fine, so he immediately decided that he had to bring her to his side no matter what.
He only has her as his apprentice right now, and she's still not satisfied, laughing at him. She's truly ungrateful for her good fortune.
If he were willing to open up and accept apprentices, countless people would come to him seeking to become his disciples.
"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you. You have no respect for your teacher at all." Jiang Zhicheng snorted angrily.
The two quickly became acquainted during the two days they spent doing experiments together.
They are both easygoing and unpretentious, and communicate directly without any beating around the bush. They might occasionally tease or insult each other, but they never really hold a grudge.
Xia Yuhuan quite liked this relaxed master-disciple relationship and atmosphere.
After lunch, the master and apprentice rested for a while before immersing themselves in the afternoon's experimental research.
It wasn't until almost time to leave work that Jiang Zhicheng called out to Xia Yuhuan, "Xiao Huan, it's time to go home. You can continue tomorrow."
Xia Yuhuan replied with an "okay," and said, "I'll leave as soon as I finish this up."
"Okay, sure," Jiang Zhicheng replied, continuing with his work.
He's been living in the lab these days, so every day after Xia Yuhuan leaves, he continues to do experiments by himself for a while.
In just two days, the two had already isolated more than a dozen toxins from the poisoned blood.
After Xia Yuhuan finished her work, she didn't bother Jiang Zhicheng and quietly left.
As she was going downstairs, she encountered Sun Xiangqian, who was walking upstairs.
"Hello, Senior Uncle. Master is still in the lab. You can go straight in and find him." Xia Yuhuan stopped and greeted him politely.
Sun Xiangqian gave a faint "hmm" and walked past Xia Yuhuan without looking to the side.
Xia Yuhuan blinked: Was it her imagination? Why did she feel that Sun Xiangqian's attitude towards her had changed?
At noon, Sun Xiangqian was quite nice to her, very enthusiastic, and seemed to like her.
But at this moment, although Sun Xiangqian looked gentle and spoke in an ordinary tone, Xia Yuhuan felt a sense of alienation from the bottom of his bones.
It's like Sun Xiangqian genuinely liked her before and treated her like a junior.
Now, he treats her as a stranger who is only a junior in name.
Xia Yuhuan walked down a few steps, then suddenly turned around and ran back up.
She didn't want to waste her time and energy overthinking; now that she had noticed the problem, she wanted to figure it out.
Sun Xiangqian used to like her quite a bit, but now he suddenly doesn't. There must be something wrong.
She needs to figure out exactly what went wrong!
"Uncle-Master," Xia Yuhuan called out to Sun Xiangqian.
Sun Xiangqian stopped and turned to look at him.
Xia Yuhuan ran to his side, slightly out of breath.
But her eyes sparkled as she stared at Sun Xiangqian: "Uncle-Master, did I do something wrong? You seem to have a problem with me."
Sun Xiangqian was surprised to hear this.
He considered himself to be fairly good at hiding his emotions, and his joy and anger were not directly expressed on his face. When he was facing Xia Yuhuan just now, his attitude was still calm and gentle.
Xia Yuhuan, however, directly sensed the change in his attitude; she was truly perceptive.
She realized it, but instead of avoiding it, she chased after him and asked him directly. Her courage was truly astonishing, leaving Sun Xiangqian at a loss for how to respond.
He paused, then said, "Why would you ask that?"
"I sensed a change in your attitude. I'm straightforward and don't want to keep things bottled up overnight. Rather than guessing and not necessarily getting it right, I'd rather ask you directly."
Xia Yuhuan said, "Besides, you are my senior apprentice, and I will be bothering you at your hospital during this time. I don't want our relationship to be strained and to make things difficult for you."
Looking at her open and honest demeanor, Sun Xiangqian suddenly felt that she was truly worthy of his affection, far better than her father, who would immediately ask him for favors, and even those favors were not exactly honorable.
Sun Xiangqian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Xia, may I ask what your father's name is?"
Xia Yuhuan frowned upon hearing this: "Are you asking about my biological father?"
Why would my senior uncle suddenly ask about Xia Jianyong?
Did Xia Jianyong do something without her knowledge? Is that why her senior uncle suddenly changed his attitude towards her?
Sun Xiangqian nodded slightly.
“His name is Xia Jianyong,” Xia Yuhuan said.
Although she disliked Xia Jianyong very much, the fact that he was her biological father could not be changed.
After Xia Yuhuan finished speaking, she carefully observed Sun Xiangqian's expression. When she saw that he frowned slightly when he heard Xia Jianyong's name, she understood that his change in attitude was indeed because of Xia Jianyong.
Sun Xiangqian nodded slightly upon hearing this, looking as if he didn't want to say anything more.
Xia Yuhuan immediately replied, "However, I don't have a good relationship with him, and we've already severed ties. He has nothing to do with me now."
Sun Xiangqian looked at her in surprise: "The family ties have been severed?"
Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly, without explaining the various reasons, and simply said, "Is it because Xia Jianyong did something that you have a problem with me? Could you please ask my senior uncle what he did?"
Her appearance was so sincere and earnest that Sun Xiangqian couldn't refuse, so he told Xia Yuhuan about it.
Moreover, Sun Xiangqian isn't stupid. Since they've already severed ties, why would Xia Jianyong still come to him for help? And why would he act like he knows him very well?
He and Xia Yuhuan had only known each other for a few days, so how could Xia Jianyong have heard about him from Xia Yuhuan before?
Sun Xiangqian sensed something was wrong.
He was probably tricked!
Xia Yuhuan laughed in anger after hearing this.
No wonder even someone as good-tempered as Sun Xiangqian got angry. If she encountered someone so shameless who immediately asked her to do something, especially something less than honorable, she would also be angry.
She clenched her fist tightly and snorted, "It seems Xia Jianyong thinks I'm too easy to talk to, and that his life is too comfortable, which is why he dares to be so arrogant and play dirty tricks. Humph!"
“Uncle-Master, I have severed all ties with him and we have no relation whatsoever. You don’t need to take care of him or do things you don’t like because of me. Please ask the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department to make sure he doesn’t take advantage of us by using our names.”
Sun Xiangqian was furious because he knew that Xia Jianyong had taken advantage of him by exploiting information asymmetry and that he had misunderstood Xia Yuhuan because of it.
Hearing this, she nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."
"Xia, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you and took it out on you. I hope you won't hold it against me." Sun Xiangqian apologized sincerely.
"It's nothing, it's just a small matter. We can talk it out. Uncle-Master, you should go upstairs to find Master. I'll head back now," Xia Yuhuan said.
After saying goodbye to Sun Xiangqian, Xia Yuhuan went downstairs and got into Lao Qian's car.
"Old Qian, let's go back to the compound," Xia Yuhuan said.
Xia Jianyong, that scumbag, is really courting death. Even after breaking off the engagement, he still dares to take advantage of her. Let's see how she deals with him!
