Looking at Xiao Ruanruan's angry expression, Gu Chen felt a little uneasy. This trick had always worked before, but he never expected it to backfire on Chen Jie today.
Gu Chen's handsome face showed even more grievance, but he said, "Ruan Ruan, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have been jealous and it affected your treatment of Chen Jie."
But hearing you call Chen Jie "brother" really hurt me.
Looking into Gu Chen's aggrieved yet sincere eyes, Xiao Ruanruan felt as if her heart was being sucked in. Her heart softened, and her expression unconsciously relaxed. In her sweet, childlike voice, she coaxed, "Gu Chen, there's no other meaning behind calling Chen Jie 'brother.' He's older than me and is my friend's brother, so of course I'd call him 'brother'!"
Gu Chen knew when to stop, a smile spreading across his eyes. "Little Ruanruan means that calling me 'brother' is a different kind of brother than calling anyone else 'brother,' right?"
Xiao Ruanruan was a little helpless. Actually, she hadn't thought that much about it.
She's just too young physically, so out of politeness she calls everyone "brother" or "sister"!
However, if admitting this will make Brother Gu Chen happy, then let's admit it!
So she nodded obediently, "Yes, Brother Gu Chen is a different kind of brother."
Gu Chen was satisfied.
Just then, Qiu Shun arrived with a box that was fifty centimeters square.
As Old Master Chen watched Qiu Shun begin installing the small and exquisite MRI scanner, his cloudy eyes lit up with surprise.
The reason he paid attention to the Gu family's troubles was because the Chen family's main business conflicted with one of the Gu family's side businesses. The Chen family used to deal in medicinal herbs, and later, with the development of pharmaceutical companies, the Chen family also established the Chen Family Pharmaceutical Factory and the Chen Family Medical Device R&D Center in addition to traditional Chinese medicine.
The Gu family is also engaged in the research and development of medical devices. Previously, the Gu family's level of medical device research and development was comparable to that of the Chen family.
However, after the Gu family ran into trouble and Gu Chen took control of the entire Gu family, the Gu family's entire technology industry chain began to advance by leaps and bounds. The technological products they manufactured were still just theoretical concepts for these companies.
Just like the MRI scanner that Qiu Shun is showing us now, because the commonly used MRI scanners are large and bulky, people have to lie flat inside the machine to have the examination done, which is very inconvenient when using them.
Therefore, at the last international medical device symposium, several companies simultaneously proposed to streamline the manufacturing process to create a lighter and more portable MRI scanner.
The Chen family has now put this research on the agenda, but it is unimaginable that the Gu family has already produced it.
When Qiu Shun brought the instrument, the three grandfathers also became interested in this new gadget and took turns examining Chen Jie, leaving Qiu Shun standing aside with no opportunity to use his skills.
Finally, the three grandfathers decided, through a game of rock-paper-scissors, that Grandpa Peng would examine Chen Jie.
After the test results came out, the three grandfathers huddled around the MRI images and whispered to each other for a long time. Little Ruanruan also wanted to see them, but her brother Chen Jie held her hand and she couldn't leave.
After the grandfathers finished their discussion and came to a conclusion, they took the film and walked over to show it to Xiao Ruanruan and Gu Chen, saying, "Old Chen, your son is quite lucky. Although his nerves were damaged and his treatment was delayed for five years, they haven't completely atrophied and died. He can still be saved."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Chen was so excited that his lips trembled, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
The three grandfathers became serious and said, "Don't rush to thank me, but you know your grandson's situation. If his psychological problems can't be resolved, then no one can treat him."
Grandpa Chen's hopeful gaze fell on Xiao Ruanruan, because Chen Jie did not reject Xiao Ruanruan at all, and Xiao Ruanruan's medical skills had been passed down from her three grandfathers. If Xiao Ruanruan treated Chen Jie, there should be no problem.
But before Old Master Chen could speak, Gu Chen looked at him and said, "Old Master Chen, Xiao Ruanruan is not suitable to treat Chen Jie's illness."
Before Old Master Chen could say anything more, Gu Chen continued, "After Chen Jie wakes up, I will try to get him to accept me so that I can treat him. It will be much easier that way."
Grandpa Chen never expected that the reason Gu Chen said Xiao Ruanruan was unsuitable was because he wanted to take action himself. With that in mind, what reason did he have to refuse?
Old Master Chen nodded repeatedly in agreement, “Alright, alright, then I’ll trouble you, Young Master Gu. If there’s anything Young Master Gu needs that our Chen family can help with, I will certainly do my utmost.”
Little Ruanruan looked at Brother Gu Chen helplessly. How could she not understand why Brother Gu Chen was willing to help?
Isn't it just that they don't want her to spend too much time with Chen Jie?
Men!
After her initial reflection, Xiao Ruanruan said to Grandpa Chen, "Grandpa Chen, you could contact some dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons in the near future."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Chen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll go and arrange it right away."
Although my grandson looks the way he does now after the fire when he was eight, he used to be a handsome little boy who cared a lot about his image.
He still remembers that when his grandson was less than three years old, he would suddenly run up to him, look up at him with his little face, and ask seriously, "Grandpa, do you think I'm handsome?"
Thinking back to how his grandson looked back then, he felt a pang of sadness and heartache, as if a lump of cotton was stuck in his throat.
——
Chen Danqing and Xiao Ruanruan sat together on the sofa, watching Gu Chen play Ludo with Chen Jie like he was taking care of a child.
Little Ruanruan watched Gu Chen's expression change like a Sichuan opera face-changing act. As long as Chen Jie wasn't watching, it would instantly collapse, but when Chen Jie saw it, it would return to a forced, insincere smile.
Fortunately, Gu Chen's brother is good-looking enough that even a forced smile looks good on him; otherwise, he might not only fail to gain Chen Jie's trust but also scare him away.
Looking at Gu Chen's appearance, Chen Danqing was very grateful to him, but she couldn't help but say, "Little Ruanruan, what is Gu Chen after? He clearly doesn't like my brother, but he insists on treating him. Does he have some kind of mental illness?"
Upon hearing Chen Danqing's words, Xiao Ruanruan cupped her face in her hands and laughed happily. Her bright, crystal-like eyes looked at Chen Danqing and said, "No, it's because my brother Gu Chen is beautiful and kind-hearted. He thinks I'm too young, and my medical skills were crammed into me by my grandfathers in just one month of grueling training."
Chen Jie's brother's situation is rather complicated, and he was worried that I wouldn't be able to cure him, which is why he stepped in to help.
Chen Danqing couldn't help but twitch her lips. Gu Chen is beautiful and kind-hearted?
Although she had to admit that Gu Chen was very handsome, his kind heart... well...
No matter how ruthless Su Yiqing is, his business rivals still dare to call him the "Living Yama."
And Gu Chen...
No one in the business world dared to give him a nickname, because anyone who had truly offended him had already disappeared.
