He didn’t take good care of his face himself, which is why it ended up like this. Now he’s saying all this nonsense—Ji Yu could only think that he’s truly an expert at wasting resources.
"If you don’t want the treatnt, you can leave anyti." Ji Yu’s expression was calm, clearly indicating that she had already made up her mind about this matter.
If the other party went too far, this matter would absolutely go no further.
Perhaps because he understood the aning behind Ji Yu’s words, his emotions beca agitated imdiately. "What do you an? Lu Xingchen, aren’t you pretty close to her? Is this the kind of doctor you’ve found for ?"
Lu Xingchen knew what his friend was like, but since they had known each other for so ti, it didn’t feel right to say anything else at this point.
"There’s no need to get so worked up. What Yu said is the truth—no matter who you seek out, it’s impossible for your face to fully recover."
He still looked unconvinced.
Ji Yu was running out of patience. "If you don’t believe , then just get out. The door’s right there—no need to complicate things any further."
She wasn’t bothered by such issues.
Besides, if soone was this unreasonable and she still let him stay, what would she do when others caused trouble in the future?
That’s why Ji Yu was quite clear about how to handle such situations.
"Yu, I’m sorry." Lu Xingchen understood Ji Yu’s temper well. As soon as she said that, he was already preparing to leave with the man.
But upon hearing this, the man grew even angrier. "Ji Yu, is it? I’m the eldest son of the Wang family! If you dare ignore my case, do you believe I won’t send people to tear your hospital down right now?"
Ji Yu arched an eyebrow; this was the first ti she’d heard such a threat.
"Young Master Wang, if you don’t trust , then why did you even bother doing this?"
If he didn’t even trust her, yet acted as though it was her fault—wasn’t that crossing a line?
"That’s not what I ant. What I an is that you must perform the surgery for right now, or this won’t be over!"
"So do you trust or not?" Ji Yu wasn’t known for her patience, and after hearing this, her temper flared up.
"I want my face restored, completely." He did trust Ji Yu, but he also demanded an absolute guarantee.
But who could ever provide a 100% guarantee on sothing like this?
Ji Yu thought this man was utterly ridiculous.
"Sorry, but I’m not taking this job. If you want to arrange for soone to tear down my hospital, go ahead. Let’s see if you really have what it takes."
She wasn’t one to back down easily. If it were so simple to intimidate her, she wouldn’t still be running her hospital.
Wang Baiquan was trembling with rage. What he cared about most was his face, yet Ji Yu refused to cooperate and even said it could only recover partially—which to him was a nightmare.
Seeing this, Ji Yu found it exasperating. "If you don’t leave, I’m calling security. I assu you wouldn’t want anyone else to see that face of yours, so it’s best you leave on your own."
She had already made herself perfectly clear.
Lu Xingchen realized there was no point in continuing the discussion today.
In his heart, he felt regret. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have sought out Ji Yu. Now that Ji Yu was in this ss because of him, he couldn’t escape feeling guilty.
"Yu, I truly am sorry."
"There’s nothing to apologize for. It wasn’t you who did wrong. We’ve known each other well enough for you to understand my temper—I really have no interest in this matter." No matter how wealthy this man was, he couldn’t possibly buy Ji Yu’s good mood.
"I’ll take him away."
Lu Xingchen made his promise. In truth, ever since Ji Yu had regained consciousness, he’d felt a bit shaken. But looking at her now, he found that sadness fading away.
He was determined to rebuild his friendship with Ji Yu. It was just a matter of ti.
Seeing his expression, Ji Yu couldn’t help but smile. "You’re a good person; don’t worry, this matter won’t affect you. I know right from wrong."
Her attitude never wavered, no matter the situation.
So, seeing his response, she decided to drop the subject.
She left the room directly. Wang Baiquan, furious, wanted to chase after her but was too afraid of others seeing his face. All he could do was glare at Lu Xingchen in anger. "Lu Xingchen, didn’t you say my face could definitely be fixed? What’s this situation now? Just you wait!"
He couldn’t take his anger out on Lu Xingchen directly. Besides, he knew very well who mattered most in this situation.
Without bothering with Wang Baiquan any further, Lu Xingchen turned and left the room.
On the way out, he even scheduled dinner with Ji Yu for the evening.
Ji Yu thought that since they were already this familiar, having dinner together didn’t seem like a big deal.
"Alright, if you want to have dinner, let’s do it."
She had no reason to guard herself against Lu Xingchen.
But Tian still reminded Ji Yu, "Sister Yu, you’re a married woman now. If you’re going out with Mr. Lu, you should at least let soone know."
Only then did Ji Yu rember that Gu Qixiao might care a lot about such things.
So she made it a point to tell Gu Qixiao about her dinner plans with Lu Xingchen that evening.
Gu Qixiao knew of Lu Xingchen—this old rival had been out of the picture for quite so ti. His sudden reappearance naturally raised so suspicions.
"If you’re having dinner with him, about what ti will you be back? Do you need to pick you up? Little Bao misses you too."
He intentionally ntioned the child. At tis, Ji Yu did prioritize the child over him. If he was getting this treatnt, it wasn’t hard to imagine how things might go with Lu Xingchen.
"I’ll be back as soon as possible. If it cos to it, I can call soone to pick up."
She understood that Gu Qixiao was likely worried about her safety.
"Alright." Although Gu Qixiao outwardly appeared accepting, privately he was uneasy. That evening, he had no thought of working late and instead went straight to wait in front of the restaurant. He wanted to see for himself what Lu Xingchen was up to.
It was clear that this eting was sothing significant for Lu Xingchen.
"Yu, I didn’t expect you’d lose your mory, but I guess it doesn’t matter much anymore."
