A strikingly beautiful, tall woman in a white coat, with sculpted features and a cool, capable demeanor, was walking steadily toward them.
"Hospitals are businesses, and their purpose is to make a profit. If I weren't short of money, I would have abolished the fee system and donated to charity long ago."
Yuan Heng: "..."
Damn it! How much did she just hear?!
Oh no! What did he just say to Ning Lang? Hopefully, nothing could have caused a misunderstanding.
Ning Lang nodded politely to the visitor: "Good morning, Dean Shan!"
Dan Jueyi's lips twitched slightly, and he nodded.
"Good morning, Mr. Ning."
The Shan family are frequent customers of the medicinal cuisine restaurant, and Ning Lang often runs into Shan Jueyi. Since they are relatives, they are quite familiar with each other.
However, Shan Jueyi was always cold and aloof, treating everyone the same, and speaking only briefly.
Ning Lang knew perfectly well that the fact that she took the initiative to talk to her was already a great favor.
She pulled Yuan Heng down from the tree, who was still stiffly clinging to it and pretending to be dead, and explained, "He's been having stomach pains lately, so I brought him here to see a doctor."
Yuan Heng chuckled.
"Senior Sister Shan, it's been a long time. You're very busy, so we didn't want to bother you. Ah Lang and I will go ahead and register—"
His eyes darted around, looking at the sky, the ground, and passersby, but he dared not look at the person opposite him.
"No need," Shan Jueyi interrupted calmly. "I happen to have some free time. I'll do a simple check-up for you, then diagnose and prescribe medication."
Yuan Heng: "..."
Good heavens! Just what I feared most has happened! She's examining and treating him; he's going to be terrified!
What if we give ourselves away?
Good heavens! Just cremate him already!
Ning Lang suppressed a laugh.
Yuan Heng jumped up excitedly, babbling incoherently, "Senior, how could you possibly have time? The big screen shows your appointments are all full! It's just a minor illness, how could I trouble you—I'm so sorry! Hehehe! I'm just a junior, you don't need to take special care of me, I can queue up like everyone else. Really! I can go to the gastroenterology department myself. Where is the gastroenterology department? Ah Lang, let's go find it!"
He's naturally eloquent and speaks incredibly fast, but when he gets nervous he speaks even faster—it's practically a high-speed stand-up comedy show!
Ning Lang struggled to suppress her laughter.
Dan Jueyi glanced at him with indifferent eyes, "What? Does Junior Brother Yuan think my medical skills are lacking?"
With a single, casual remark, Yuan Heng, who was about to slip away, was forced to obediently retreat.
He chuckled ingratiatingly, "No! Not at all! Senior, your medical skills are so superb, how could I possibly look down on you?"
It's not that I dislike it, it's that I'm afraid—and extremely afraid at that!
Shan Jueyi said calmly, "Then let's go."
"Well—I'm so sorry!" Yuan Heng forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "I can't cut in line. People will say that my senior is being biased, and that wouldn't be good."
He blinked frantically at Ning Lang, sending out a barrage of desperate cries for help. Help him refuse! It's an emergency!
Ning Lang calmly pretended not to see anything.
Yuan Heng: "..." Are you even my best friend? Can our friendship capsize at a time like this? Friendship over!
Shan Jueyi turned her cold and beautiful face slightly, a half-smile on her face: "Taking care of an acquaintance is not considered favoritism."
Acquaintances~~
Yuan Heng's handsome, fair face blushed slightly.
Oh my god! Did he hear me wrong? The senior said they were acquaintances—acquaintances!
The senior student even seemed to smile at me! She smiled!
Shan Jueyi stepped forward. "Junior, let's go."
The junior student was already completely mesmerized, and nodded obediently in a daze.
So, Yuan Heng, his eyes sparkling with hearts, followed Shan Jueyi with a smug look on his face.
Looking at her best friend, whose soul had been completely captivated, Ning Lang couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.
It's true that everything has its counter!
