Chapter 594 - 594: Rong Qi’s Medical Skills Revealed
Madam Su’s frown deepened, her voice steady yet firm. “Many people saw it happen in the mall. I’m not mistaken. Besides, Ye Rong is right here, healthy and well. Madam Liu, not everyone thinks like you.”
Her poised rebuttal silenced Madam Liu, who retreated to her seat, clearly disgruntled.
Old Master Ye, intrigued, turned to Madam Su. “Are you saying Rong Qi has medical expertise? She was the one who saved Ye Rong?”
Madam Su nodded, her affirmation sending a ripple of surprise through the room.
Eyes shifted back to Rong Qi, filled with curiosity and disbelief.
‘Rong Qi, a medical practitioner? How and when did she acquire such skills?’ Ye Shaochen thought.
Ye Shaochen’s fists tightened. Rong Qi, once thought to be an insignificant stranger, had revealed herself to be a figure of growing importance.
‘From a mere hit and run to a fool, then from a fool to the head of Qiyan Studio, and now a medical expert? What else was hidden about Rong Qi? What more had Ye Nanshen kept secret?’
Ye Shaochen felt blindsided. The worlds of Qiyan Studio and medicine were far beyond what he thought Ye Nanshen capable of managing.
Ye Shaochen felt he had been tricked. He thought, ‘Is this all part of Ye Nanshen’s strategy? No one as competitive as him would marry a fool. Maybe Rong Qi was his ace, cleverly played to catch them off guard.’
Panic set in as he considered this possibility, his breath growing ragged.
Old Master Ye, eyeing Rong Qi with new understanding, asked, “Qiqi, you really know medical practices?”
Rong Qi’s response was light and unassuming. “I’m just continuing a family tradition. It’s not a big deal.”
Rong Qi’s grandfather was Chu Enguang, a name synonymous with medical expertise. Anyone who has looked into Rong Qi’s background would know this.
Old Master Ye’s gaze shifted between Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen. He thought, ‘It all made sense now. Ye Nanshen’s health had dramatically improved since Rong Qi’s arrival. Clearly, she had been instrumental in his recovery.’
Yet, where there was admiration, envy often followed.
Madam Liu, unable to hide her resentment, sneered, “Madam Su, are you so desperate for a cure that you’d believe anyone? I’ve never heard of such a young ‘miracle doctor’. Be wary of charlatans. Do you really think a random encounter can cure Ye Rong?”
Her words were laced with scorn.
Madam Su’s expression hardened, her defense of Rong Qi resolute. “Madam Liu, words should be chosen carefully. If you haven’t seen such a doctor, perhaps you need to broaden your horizons. I have no doubt in Rong Qi’s abilities. Please refrain from casting aspersions in my presence, or I will defend her unequivocally.”
Ye Rong’s illness had been a long-standing battle, and finally, they had found a glimmer of hope. If Madam Liu’s skepticism threatened that, Madam Su was ready to stand her ground.
Feeling rebuffed by an ‘outsider,’ Madam Liu sat stewing in frustration, her face a mask of vexation..
