Chapter 219: Responsible for Everything Except for Him

“Brother Chu?” Ye Shiqing followed Shen Shichu’s gaze, only to see several figures walking away, and didn’t pay much attention, “What are you looking at?”

Shen Shichu stared at the girl’s retreating figure, shock and disbelief filling his narrow eyes.

There was no mistake, only Nan Jiaojiao walked with such restrained yet wild strides.

The servants showed her even more respect than they did to Bo Yanching.

What was her relationship with the chairman of the commerce chamber!

Shen Shichu wanted to get a clearer look, but unfortunately, the figures of the people were obscured by the crabapple trees, and it was a luxury to even catch a glimpse of their side faces.

Then, the wooden door closed in front of him, and Shen Shichu felt his heart almost leap out.

He turned around, staring intensely at Ye Shiqing, wanting to ask something, but he swallowed his words before they left his lips.

Ten minutes later, Yaen Chi’s car drove in.

Auntie Wu followed, barely had she taken out the wheelchair when Yaen Chi carried Old Lady onto it and pushed her inside.

Pei Dongshi personally welcomed his guests, but as he spoke with Bo Yanching inside, he sensed the man’s immense hostility towards him.

Subconsciously he glanced at Nan Jiaojiao, who dared to avoid his gaze.

Definitely something fishy going on.

Now meeting Yaen Chi, Pei Dongshi treated him completely as a host, exchanged a few words, and felt that Yaen Chi was much easier to talk to than Bo Yanching, and his attitude softened a bit as a result.

“Master will be here shortly, Jiaojiao has already discussed Old Lady Bo’s condition with her, and the chance of surgical success is very high, please rest assured.”

Yaen Chi glanced at Bo Yanching, Third Master’s face was dark and foul.

Then looking at Pei Dongshi’s face that seemed to attract trouble, he vaguely understood a thing or two.

Some questions that weren’t really his to ask nevertheless had to come from his lips, “How likely are complications after the surgery?”

“Complications can happen, I can’t make too absolute a statement to you.”

“After the surgery, will Old Lady’s legs be more promising than before?”

Pei Dongshi nodded, “Yes.”

“As a doctor, if you talk nonsense with the patient’s family before the surgery, and if the surgery fails or the complications are severe, how will you handle it?”

Bo Yanching sat on a pear-wood chair, his long eyes cold and inscrutable, and every word he uttered was like a stabbing knife.

Pei Dongshi smiled without saying a word.

Kid, the one performing the surgery is Medicine God.

Not to mention confidence, even self-esteem could inflate to the skies.

Medicine God had long retired.

To get her to perform the surgery personally, a routine procedure with hardly any risk of repercussions, was entirely due to Nan Jiaojiao’s influence.

“I will take responsibility.”

Nan Jiaojiao interrupted, “I’ll follow up on all post-op care and take full responsibility.”

Bo Yanching stared at her, his unblinking gaze seeming to freeze over.

His face was so dark, it seemed he could wring water from it, clenching his back teeth so hard he was nearly shattered them.

How dare she protect another man like this in front of him?

After a while, Bo Yanching laughed coldly, his laughter laced with frost, and his deep eyes fixed on her, “Are you responsible for everything to the end?”

“Yes, I take responsibility,” Nan Jiaojiao said without a hint of hesitation.

Yet it felt to Bo Yanching like his heart was clogged with a swollen sponge.

Responsible for everything, yet she overlooked him.

“Fine.”

Nan Jiaojiao sighed in relief, her eyes lifting slightly as she watched Jiang Yu approach the yard, then stepped forward to greet her.

“Great Master.”

Nan Jiaojiao took Jiang Yu’s arm, and the address of ‘Great Master’ almost knocked her over.

Raising her hand slightly, Jiang Yu tapped her on the head with a tobacco pipe, laughing with profound meaning, “Good disciple, lead me to the patient.”

Nan Jiaojiao assisted her inside, being particularly careful when helping her up the steps.

Jiang Yu felt a complex mix of emotions.

Overflowing with jealousy!

She had raised her since she was a child and had never received such treatment!
