Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Thank You Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Thank You Upon seeing Bai Xiao, Wang Fang’s eyes lit up. This young girl didn’t seem like anything special; she was pretty indeed, but dark-skinned and thin, so even her good looks ca with a discount. Yet, it was this young girl who had saved her brother.
It really confird the saying, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.”
She rushed up and grabbed Bai Xiao’s hand, her enthusiasm making it seem like they were anything but strangers.
“Doctor Bai, you finally ca out. If you hadn’t co out sooner, our old man would have been worried to death. It’s hard to tell that you have such high skills. Co on, co have a al; you must be starving. Look, we’ve been busy all morning and haven’t taken good care of you, co, let’s eat!” Without further ado, she pulled Bai Xiao toward the dining room.
The five military dical experts were not pleased. They had been waiting for several hours just to et this doctor and share their experiences. They were itching with anticipation, how could Wang Fang just hijack her!
They surged forward.
“Doctor Bai, we are director experts from the People’s Liberation Army Hospital of the Provincial Military Region. Regarding the patient Wang Han, we have many questions we would like to discuss with you. Could you please grace us with a detailed discussion of the rescue operation? It would help us devise strategies and thods for similar cases in the future!”
“Yes, Doctor Bai, this could benefit society greatly. We hope you can…” The old man couldn’t finish his sentence; his request was a bit shaless, asking her to disclose her secret techniques. It seems only a few old geezers could have such thick skin.
Bai Xiao just quietly watched the five of them, her expression neither panicked nor smug. She was like a serene well, undisturbed by waves, not a ripple stirred by their words. Her clear gaze seed to see through to the heart, causing all five experts to lower their heads, silenced.
They had prepared a thousand words, but were defeated by the young girl’s eyes.
Their hearts filled with sha, what kind of eyes were those?
Eyes that saw the clarity of worldly affairs, that perceived the cold indifference of human hearts, cool and detached, they left you with nowhere to hide.
All five experts together were over two hundred years old, and yet they were defeated by a pair of eyes. Saying it aloud would be too embarrassing for them.
Wang Fang still hadn’t noticed how impressive this young girl was.
With just a look, she had repelled a group of specialists! Such was her spirit unmatched.
Smiling to smooth things over, “Let’s go have a al; we can talk after we’ve eaten. It’s not polite to chat on an empty stomach. Right, Doctor Bai?” She warmly linked arms with Bai Xiao, determined that this girl was hers to cling to. After all, she was an old woman unafraid of losing face, even if Bai Xiao had objections! Wasn’t An Zhiyuan there, after all?
Their families were old friends, surely that amounted to so courtesy.
Bai Xiao was not pretentious. Skipping a al, people might start worrying about what she was up to.
Following Wang Fang into the dining room, everyone imdiately stood up as their attention focused on Bai Xiao. Instantly, she beca the center of attention.
“Doctor Bai, co over here, we’ve saved you a seat. Sit here!” Liu Huiru called out to Bai Xiao, their family’s great benefactor.
Bai Xiao was seated next to Liu Huiru, with An Zhiyuan beside her. Liu Huiru was indeed like Wang Fang, her mother, in her actions, holding Bai Xiao’s hand, appraising her up and down with fervent eyes, as if beholding a rare treasure.
“Doctor Bai, thank you! I really an it, thank you!”
Wang Han was actually sitting right next to Liu Huiru. When he heard it was Doctor Bai, his ears had almost developed calluses, as his parents and family mbers had been discussing this young doctor. He was quite curious and slightly excited, now knowing that he had been issued several critical condition notices and had been regarded as good as dead. Yet, a set of silver needles from Doctor Bai had miraculously brought him back to life.
As the person in question, he was completely oblivious to the situation, having unwittingly lived and died twice.
Seeing Bai Xiao, he felt sowhat disappointed. He had imagined her to be a fairy-like girl with an ethereal presence, but reality was starkly different from his imagination.
“Auntie, let’s stop talking about this and start the al!” An Zhiyuan interjected. What else could Bai Xiao say to that?
It’s nothing?
Why should it be?
It’s what I should do!
No, that’s not right either!
The three Wang sisters imdiately understood that this topic was not conducive to pleasant conversation.
“Yes, it’s ti to eat. Let’s all toast to Doctor Bai and thank Dr. Bai for saving our Wang Han’s life. Doctor Bai, thank you!”
Everyone raised their glasses. Bai Xiao awkwardly glanced at the glass of alcohol in front of her. It wasn’t that she was being pretentious or disrespectful; she simply couldn’t drink. It was white liquor, and although she could handle it, she had barely regained her strength. Her body had not fully recovered its resistance, and she was actually allergic to alcohol—drinking it now would only make her uncomfortable.
But if she didn’t drink, this family might think she was very dissatisfied.
A large hand reached over, took the glass of wine from in front of her, and replaced it with a glass of orange-colored orange juice. “She doesn’t drink alcohol. I’ll drink on her behalf. A toast to everyone!” An Zhiyuan said, lifting the glass of wine and draining it in one swig.
Wang Fen also drank and teased An Zhiyuan, “Little An, you’re really sothing, having such an impressive fiancée and not telling us. If we hadn’t run into this bit of luck and stumbled upon you, when were you planning to bring her ho to et the family?”
“We just confird our relationship, and I haven’t yet filed for marriage. I was planning to wait until we returned to the base and filed the marriage report before telling everyone. After all, she’s a girl who might be shy, and I haven’t even told my own family yet!” An Zhiyuan explained, his casual deanor clarifying the situation.
Bai Xiao blinked, not believing that they were actually talking about filing a marriage report.
“Bai Xiao, eting you is truly our family’s blessing from the cultivation of eight past lives. My brother-in-law didn’t an to offend you just now. Please, don’t take it to heart. I’m sotis too outspoken, so don’t mind my words. Look, once you and Zhiyuan are married, we’ll be relatives. It’s said that conflicts make closer relationships. He’s offering an apology with this drink, thanking you for saving Xiaohan’s life. From now on, you’re our family’s great benefactor, and we’re committed to repaying your kindness.” Qian Cheng had been agonizing over upsetting Bai Xiao, as nobody knew what kind of thods soone as magically talented as her might have, and he certainly couldn’t affo…
Having elderly in-laws, and even his own aging parents, made him realize no hospital could compare to having an acupuncturist like her who could bring soone back from death.
Just now, five dical experts had pronounced his brother-in-law dead, yet she had managed to save him. Although she looked like she had lost half her life doing so, she had the skill.
This was truly a master.
Thinking of this filled him with imnse regret, wishing he had never appeared in the first place.
