“Professor Anso!”
Shen Nanyue had heard of him before.
Over the past few days, for An’an’s condition, she had practically searched through every famous doctor both domestically and abroad.
Top-tier doctors for treating An’an’s physical condition were easy to find and easy to invite.
But regarding her skin injuries, after contacting several renowned specialists and sending over An’an’s medical records, all of them had rejected the case.
Their reason was that An’an’s burns were too severe and impossible to fully restore.
Just when she was close to despair, she unexpectedly discovered Professor Anso.
Professor Anso was notoriously difficult to invite.
He had already rejected her several times under the excuse of being too busy with work.
She never expected this guy Zhou Yushen to actually manage to invite him!
“I think I still haven’t fully discovered all your capabilities. You have neither money nor power, yet you keep doing things that surprise me. Zhou Yushen, you’re really amazing!”
Zhou Yushen, who had actually used the Zhou family’s influence to invite Professor Anso: “…”
“When will Professor Anso arrive in Lincheng? Or are we sending An’an to M Country for treatment? How did you arrange it?”
“Professor Anso will be coming to Lincheng soon for an academic conference. He can begin treating An’an then—probably about a week from now.”
“Alright, then I should make some preparations too.”
Zhou Yushen looked at her in confusion.
“What are you preparing?”
“Obviously preparing a gift Professor Anso would like. When you’re asking someone for help, you can’t be stingy. I’m still counting on him to completely heal every scar on An’an’s body!”
She swallowed the last spoonful of porridge.
“You eat slowly. I have an important meeting later and can’t be late. Have the driver take you.”
With that, Shen Nanyue breezed out the door.
Zhou Yushen shook his head helplessly.
Professor Anso hated receiving gifts more than anything.
It looked like he would need to communicate with him in advance.
A notification sound rang out.
He glanced at his phone screen.
‘Ah Shen, Grandpa’s birthday banquet is next month. I want to prepare the most special gift for him. Can you help me choose something?’
Zhou Yushen’s expression instantly turned cold.
He pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth before taking his phone and heading out.
…
Afternoon.
At the Hospital.
Shen Nanyue sat outside the consultation room, waiting while the doctor examined An’an inside.
A few minutes later, the consultation room door opened.
“Miss Shen, come in.”
The doctor was a renowned domestic internal medicine specialist who combined both traditional Chinese and Western medical principles, having cured many patients with difficult illnesses.
“Doctor Liu, how is my sister’s condition?”
Doctor Liu’s expression was somewhat grave.
“Her body is weak internally, and her external injuries are severe. Long-term deficiency of qi and blood has aged her body by at least ten years. Completely restoring her health is impossible.”
Shen Nanyue’s heart skipped violently.
She looked worriedly at Shen An’an before turning pleading eyes toward Doctor Liu.
“Doctor, is there really no other way? Wouldn’t gradual recuperation help either?”
Doctor Liu sighed.
“I’ll do my utmost to treat her using a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. I can probably help her recover about eighty percent. As for the remaining twenty percent… if she continues proper care in the future, perhaps a miracle may still happen.”
Doctors needed to give patients hope, so Doctor Liu didn’t speak too absolutely.
Shen Nanyue comforted Shen An’an.
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. As long as we take good care of your health from now on, you’ll definitely recover completely!”
Shen An’an, however, didn’t care much about whether she could fully recover.
After three years of imprisonment, simply regaining her freedom was already enough to satisfy her.
But Shen Nanyue worried deeply about her.
Shen An’an responded with a sweet smile.
“Big Sis, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Did you forget? I’m amazing! How could my body possibly hold me back?”
Shen An’an truly had been a genius since childhood.
Sharp-minded and quick to learn, there was almost nothing she couldn’t master.
Not only had her painting skills reached a national treasure level, but she was also highly skilled in design and even martial arts like sanda.
Shen Nanyue knew Shen An’an was trying to comfort her too.
The bitterness in her heart transformed into waves of tenderness.
Forcing out a smile, she gently rubbed Shen An’an’s head.
“I know. From now on, Sister will stay by your side.”
“Okay.”
The sisters stayed at the hospital for the entire afternoon.
After confirming the treatment plan moving forward, Shen Nanyue still couldn’t help repeatedly reminding her:
“The doctor said your vocal cords need three months of complete rest. Starting today, you’re not allowed to speak anymore.”
After an entire afternoon of examinations, her vocal cords were the only thing with a chance of fully recovering.
So Shen Nanyue kept emphasizing it.
Just as Shen An’an opened her mouth to reply, Shen Nanyue’s look frightened her into silence.
She took out her phone and typed to Shen Nanyue:
“But I won’t be able to resist.”
Ever since childhood, she had never been the quiet type.
Whenever her throat didn’t hurt, she always had to say something.
Even during the three years of imprisonment, despite her frail body, she constantly outwitted the guards and always had to exchange a few words with them.
And now, facing the sister she hadn’t seen in years, how could she possibly stay silent?
“I’ll supervise you. If it really comes down to it, I’ll tape your mouth shut with duct tape and remove it three months later.”
Shen An’an: “…”
As expected, definitely not a real sister!
Just as the two were preparing to leave, Shen Nanyue received a call from the police station.
Zhou Yushen had gotten into a fight, and they wanted her to come pick him up.
Shen Nanyue: “…”
Someone like Zhou Yushen would actually fight people?
Left with no choice, Shen Nanyue had the driver take Shen An’an home while she drove herself to the police station.
When she arrived, she saw the man Zhou Yushen had beaten up.
Chen Mu.
There was also another unexpected person at the scene—Gu Linlang.
Shen Nanyue raised an eyebrow.
This combination really gave off the feeling of two men fighting over one woman.
She suppressed the worry on her face and walked inside.
Compared to Chen Mu, whose face was bruised and swollen, Zhou Yushen looked perfectly clean, without even a wrinkle in his clothes.
“Alright, tell me what happened.”
When Zhou Yushen looked up and saw Shen Nanyue, he immediately stood and walked over to her.
“He threw the first punch.”
The grown man grabbed Shen Nanyue’s hand, almost sounding like he was acting spoiled.
At the sight, both Chen Mu and Gu Linlang’s eyes widened in shock.
Chen Mu became angry from embarrassment, standing up and pointing at Zhou Yushen as he cursed:
“Zhou Yushen, are you freaking pretending to be innocent? Don’t act like you don’t know why I hit you!”
Suppressing the intense jealousy in her heart toward Shen Nanyue, Gu Linlang stepped forward to stand before her, lowering her head with a guilty expression.
“I’m sorry, Miss Shen. It’s all because of me. Mr. Chen misunderstood the relationship between Ah Shen and me, which is why he rushed over and started fighting. But please, don’t misunderstand anything.”
Zhou Yushen frowned tightly and turned to look at her coldly.
“The way you’re speaking—are you trying to make my wife misunderstand?”
Gu Linlang’s face instantly turned pale, and she hurriedly tried to explain.
“N-No… that’s not what I meant…”
But Zhou Yushen clearly had no intention of listening to her explanation.
He turned back to Shen Nanyue.
“When I left the company, I ran into Miss Gu. She invited me to dinner, and I refused. Right after that, Mr. Chen suddenly rushed over and tried to hit me for no reason, so I instinctively fought back.”
“There are surveillance cameras outside the company. I can pull the footage for you tomorrow. The police officers who were patrolling nearby can testify as well.”
Zhou Yushen’s expression was focused and sincere.
As though he was terrified Shen Nanyue might misunderstand him.
Such a long and hurried explanation coming from Zhou Yushen’s mouth—
If she hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, Gu Linlang would never have believed it even if she were beaten to death.
Standing there pale-faced, she looked like a complete joke.
