Chapter 9: Chapter 009 [Accepting Treatment]
"Thankfully, Divine Doctor Ye was magnanimous and didn't mind my manners, otherwise I would probably be in big trouble."
Thinking this, the Su Family's Bodyguard led Ye Fan to the main building's entrance, made another inviting gesture, and then went into the building first.
"Reporting to the master, the young lady, Young Master Feiyu, and the second young lady, this is Divine Doctor Ye!" Upon entering the villa's hall, the Su Family's Bodyguard bowed and reported immediately.
There was no response.
The vast hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
The sudden quiet perplexed the Su Family's Bodyguard; he couldn't help but look up and saw that everyone, including Su Hongyuan, had their eyes on Ye Fan standing beside him, with varying expressions.
In particular, Mrs. Su, though anxious to save her daughter, was shocked to see that the legendary divine doctor was just a young man. Her gaze filled with skepticism, overshadowing her astonishment, and more so with worry!
She couldn't believe that this young man could cure Su Yuxin's strange illness!
After all, before this, Su Yuxin had visited major famous hospitals around the world, only to be told to wait for death!
If even Mrs. Su thought this way, what about Su Feiyu?
Initially, he didn't believe that any randomly chosen doctor could cure Su Yuxin's strange illness, and seeing the so-called divine doctor just a youth about his age further solidified his guess, enjoying the misfortune evoked in him.
Unlike Mrs. Su and Su Feiyu, Su Yuxin, Su Liuli, and Uncle Fu had seen Ye Fan at the foot of Spirit Mountain and had a vivid memory of him.
At this moment, seeing Ye Fan appear at the doorway to the hall, their shock was incomparable even to Mrs. Su and Su Feiyu!
"How... How can it be him??"
For a time, the three of them were as if hit with an immobilization spell, motionless, their expressions completely rigid, staring blankly at Ye Fan as if encountering a ghost in broad daylight.
This bizarre scene left the Su Family's Bodyguard as perplexed as a monk baffled by his own zen, while Ye Fan, after giving Su Feiyu a thoughtful glance, wasn't surprised at all.
"Hello, Divine Doctor Ye, welcome to the Su Family."
Shortly after, just as Ye Fan was about to speak and bring everyone back to reality from their astonishment, Su Hongyuan was the first to snap out of it, stood up, and walked over to Ye Fan with a smile.
Uh?
As Su Hongyuan's polite words reached his ears and he noticed that there was no skepticism in Su Hongyuan's gaze, Ye Fan felt somewhat surprised, but without dwelling much on it, he smiled back, "Hello, I'm entrusted by someone to treat Miss Su Yuxin's illness."
As Su Hongyuan and Ye Fan spoke, Su Yuxin, Su Liuli, and Uncle Fu gradually snapped out of their shock. Among them, Su Yuxin and Uncle Fu couldn't help but exchange glances, seemingly asking each other: Could we really have misunderstood him?
Not just them, even the suspicious Su Liuli began to question why the divine doctor spoken highly by the enigmatic and superior Demon Queen Chu Ji was Ye Fan!
"Lady Su, based on my visual diagnosis, your condition has reached an extremely critical stage and needs immediate treatment," said Ye Fan, while Su Yuxin, Su Liuli, and Uncle Fu were still puzzled.
Visual diagnosis?!
Upon hearing these four words, Su Feiyu reacted as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, his lips twitching before he forced down the laughter, stood up, and deliberately said, "Divine Doctor Ye, so young yet your medical skills are profoundly mysterious, truly admirable. As you mentioned, Sister Yuxin's condition is very serious and requires immediate treatment, so we will leave it all up to you, Divine Doctor!"
As he spoke, even with his excellent control, the corners of his mouth inevitably revealed a trace of mocking laughter.
It was foreseeable that had Su Hongyuan not been present, he would definitely have burst into laughter.
Because... he thought Ye Fan looked more like a scam artist than a divine doctor!
Although Su Liuli was curious why Ye Fan was referred to as a divine doctor by Demon Queen Chu Ji, Ye Fan's words and tone were all too familiar, too deeply etched in her memory.
In such a situation, suddenly hearing Su Feiyu's sarcastic tone urging Ye Fan to promptly treat Su Yuxin, Su Liuli became so angry that her chest heaved and she glared at Ye Fan, about to stand up.
"Divine Doctor Ye, since that is the case, please start treating Yuxin right away."
Before Su Liuli could speak, Su Hongyuan spoke again, his tone still very polite, "Additionally, if Divine Doctor Ye has any requirements for the treatment, feel free to speak up. We can provide all medical facilities and the venue, fully cooperating with you. As for the payment, rest assured, Divine Doctor, as long as you can cure Yuxin, we can negotiate everything!"
Su Hongyuan's unconditional trust, once again, made Ye Fan feel puzzled; however, as he said himself, Su Yuxin's situation was very dire, leaving no time for further thought, he immediately went to the point: "I need a quiet room, preferably one with a bed for Lady Su to lie down on."
Because of the trust in Demon Queen Chu Ji and the confidence, even slight pride, displayed by Ye Fan, Su Yuxin still harbored some hope towards him.
However──
Right then, hearing Ye Fan's words, traditionally-minded Su Yuxin inadvertently recalled the phrase "hand-touching eases symptoms, intimate relations cure the root," and her small hope instantly dissipated, her face turning even paler!
"Whoosh!"
At the same time, Su Liuli's expression also drastically changed, a boundless anger surged on her face, drowning her curiosity. She angrily stood up and glared at Ye Fan, scolding, "You hooligan, get out!"
"Eh, how did Liuli become smart today?"
Su Feiyu, who was originally enjoying the drama with a schadenfreude expression, heard Su Liuli's words and thought she had seen through Ye Fan's lies, feeling somewhat surprised.
"Liuli, what are you doing?"
Meanwhile, Su Hongyuan was shocked, then looked at Liuli with a hint of anger and loudly demanded.
"Grandpa, he is not a Divine Doctor at all, but a filthy hooligan. He wanted Sister Yuxin to lie down because he wants to…"
Su Liuli frantically explained, but before she could say the words 'get in bed', Su Hongyuan angrily shouted, "Shut up!"
"Grandpa…"
"Get out!"
Seeing that Su Liuli was relentless, Su Hongyuan was completely infuriated.
He was unaware of the meeting between Ye Fan and the three members of the Su family; he only knew that Chu Ji, who had recommended Ye Fan to treat Su Yuxin, was not just ordinarily connected to the Ye Family!
According to the information he received, the reason why the young masters of Beijing 'only dared to admire from afar and not desecrate' the Demon Queen Chu Ji was because of her extremely close relationship with Ye Wenhao, who was the future successor of Huaxia!
There was even a rumor that Chu Ji was Ye Wenhao's lover!
This was also why he, seeing the young Ye Fan, did not harbor any doubts about him a moment ago.
In his view, given Chu Ji's identity, it was impossible for her to lie about such a matter!
Moreover, he also had his own little scheme—if Ye Fan, recommended by Chu Ji, could cure Su Yuxin's illness, and the Su family could then forge a connection with Chu Ji, it would indeed be a win-win situation for the Su family!
In such a circumstance, how could he not be furious with Su Liuli's baseless rudeness towards Ye Fan?
"Liuli, how can you be so impolite?"
Seeing Su Hongyuan getting angry, Su Feiyu, who was beside them, saw an opportunity to kick someone when they were down and said, "Could it be that you don't want to see Sister Yuxin get better soon?"
"Su Feiyu, you…" Upon hearing Su Feiyu's words, Su Liuli almost passed out from anger.
"Liuli."
As soon as Su Yuxin saw this, she quickly spoke up to stop Su Liuli. After Su Liuli calmed down, just like the day at the foot of Spirit Mountain, she stared deeply at Ye Fan as if she wanted to see right through him.
She failed once again.
Even though she had developed a keen insight through two years of workplace experience, she couldn't determine through Ye Fan's eyes whether he was lying, nor could she see what kind of person he really was.
She only felt that Ye Fan's eyes were like an invisible great door, blocking any gaze trying to peer inside.
"Divine Doctor Ye, I am willing to accept your treatment."
Watching, watching, after an inner struggle filled with agony, Su Yuxin finally gritted her teeth and made her decision.
