The news of Jiang Chengzhe's contact with the Bai family was quickly received by Old Master Bai.
Originally, the others were just casually mentioning it to Old Master Bai, treating it as a joke, but unexpectedly...
Grandpa Bai then inquired about the situation with a serious expression.
It almost surprised the other person to death.
The old man has never really been involved in things lately, mostly just letting things slide. Why is he suddenly... taking it to heart?
After seeing off the people he had been exchanging pleasantries, Old Master Bai immediately called Jiang Li.
"Senior Brother, is there something you need?" Jiang Li was strolling outside when he received a call from Old Master Bai, which surprised him a bit.
"What? Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong?" Old Master Bai immediately pretended to be angry and said irritably.
"That's not it," Jiang Li said, pursing her lips. "I just think that unless it's something important, you probably won't remember to call me, Senior Brother."
Although her senior brother really dotes on her, he's not the type to call and chat casually.
So if he suddenly calls, there must be something wrong.
Recalling what Jiang Chengzhe had said before, Jiang Li felt that it was most likely related to Jiang Chi.
"If I remember correctly, Jiang Chi is your cheap father?" As expected, Old Master Bai brought up Jiang Chi as soon as he spoke, just as Jiang Li had guessed.
Jiang Li hummed in agreement. "What? How did the Jiang family manage to connect with you, the head of the Bai family, senior brother?"
I have to say, that's quite an achievement.
Old Master Bai did not answer the question directly, but said, "I'm not trying to criticize them, but they have someone more capable right under their noses, yet they go to such lengths to come to the Bai family to find someone to treat their illness. Are they really out of their minds?"
“After all, the Bai family has a high reputation. As long as a doctor is associated with the Bai family, it means that their medical skills are superior to others.” Jiang Li couldn’t help but curl the corners of her lips, then couldn’t help but laugh at herself, “Who would trust a young girl like me?”
"You're kidding me." Old Master Bai couldn't help but scoff. "If you're going to talk about it this way, I personally taught you your medical skills. In other people's eyes, you're practically my personal disciple. And you've even surpassed me. You're much better than this old man now."
“Senior Brother, what you’re saying is far too exaggerated…” Jiang Li couldn’t help but rub his forehead. “I’m just average, not really better than you. I’m just better at using tricks.”
When treating patients, Mr. Bai prioritizes a safe and reliable approach.
Jiang Li, being young and impetuous, was often much bolder than other doctors.
Especially when faced with difficult and complicated cases, Jiang Li is more daring and innovative than others. In particular, she also has a set of metaphysical abilities, and over time, she naturally forges a different path.
"Only you would say something like that." Old Master Bai couldn't help but complain. Then he added, "Do you think I should agree to let them come to me for medical treatment? They bullied our junior sister and still want me to treat them? They're dreaming."
“Let’s heal him,” Jiang Li replied. “Healing Jiang Chi is the most important step in severing my ties with him. How can I return to the Xuanmen sect with peace of mind if I don’t completely sever those ties?”
Old Master Bai was taken aback by Jiang Li's words, and finally he said meaningfully, "Is it possible... that when Master said you haven't severed your worldly ties, he wasn't referring to the Jiang family?"
Jiang Li: "???"
Jiang Li: "!!!"
What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!
If it's not referring to the Jiang family, then who is it referring to?!
"Um..." Perhaps realizing the impact his words would have on Jiang Li, Old Master Bai decided to slip away. "I'll have someone look into Jiang Chi's situation carefully now. Once we have a clear understanding, we'll contact each other again."
After saying that...
Grandpa Bai hung up the phone decisively.
Bai Jing, who had watched his grandfather make the phone call the whole time, couldn't help but frown and ask, "Grandpa, didn't you originally want to stand up for your aunt and firmly refuse the Jiang family's request? Why did you change your mind?"
Old Master Bai suddenly revealed a profound smile, "Because I suddenly thought of a way to slap them in the face even more."
"What?" Bai Jing leaned closer and asked curiously.
Grandpa Bai pushed Bai Jing's head aside, his face full of disdain, and said, "Why are you asking so many questions, you little brat? Have you finished your task for today? If not, hurry up and get out of my way!"
Bai Jing: "..."
You once said that I'm an adult now, and that I should learn to stand on my own and take on the responsibilities of the Bai family.
well……
That attitude changed so quickly.
The Jiang family was overjoyed to receive news of the Bai family's return.
If the Bai family is willing to help, that would be even better.
Therefore, they sent over all the detailed information the other party requested about Jiang Chi's condition.
The data was delivered to Old Master Bai, who had some of his doctors study and analyze it. He also sent a copy to Jiang Li and asked her for her opinions.
Later, perhaps feeling that relaying messages was too troublesome, Old Master Bai simply had someone create a group chat so that the doctors and Jiang Li could communicate together.
As for himself...
Um……
I'm getting old, I'm getting on in years...
He will not participate in this matter.
Jiang Li was unaware of her senior brother's ulterior motives. Although the Jiang family forbade her to operate on Jiang Chi, Jiang Li still seriously discussed the matter with the doctors in order to ensure the success of the surgery.
The doctors felt that Jiang Li's original suggestion was somewhat unreliable.
However, as Jiang Chi's medical examination reports were continuously updated, everyone began to admire Jiang Li.
I just felt...
They're just there to make up the numbers.
They discussed so much here, thinking about how to control the spread of cancer cells, how to make the surgery more secure...
As a result, the person pointed out the problem in just a few words.
While they thought it was impossible, they considered it from that angle again, and then they discovered...
It really works!
It's just a bit too difficult; I don't really have confidence in my skill level.
After a week of discussion, the doctors involved in Jiang Chi's case finally set a date for his surgery.
As a result, in the half hour before the surgery, the doctors all encountered problems for various reasons.
What's wrong with your stomach...?
Suddenly, my hand was bumped...
What's wrong with my arm?
In short, all sorts of reasons came out.
“But all the pre-operative preparations are already complete…” Jiang Chengzhe looked at the doctors with a grim expression, “Are we canceling the surgery now?”
"Why cancel?" one of the doctors asked with a surprised look. "We did have some problems, but the best one is fine."
"That's right, we might not be able to do it, but she'll definitely be fine!"
then……
Jiang Li was then pushed forward by everyone.
"Such an important surgery should naturally be performed by the most skilled person."
Jiang Chengzhe was stunned. "Jiang... Jiang Li?"
"This is the most mysterious young big shot in our medical field," one of the doctors said proudly. "She has won numerous awards at such a young age and is hailed as a genius in the medical world!"
Jiang Li's lips twitched slightly, but she did not refute it.
Jiang Chengzhe was still shocked, and he didn't believe what these people were saying. He couldn't help but say, "We asked a doctor from the Bai family to perform the surgery on my father, but this Jiang Li..."
"Ah...don't you know?" one of the doctors finally got his line, "Miss Jiang's medical skills were personally taught by Elder Bai!"
Jiang Chengzhe: "???"
Kang Seung-cheol: "!!!"
