Chapter 508: A Genius
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
To people, someone whom Director Mou invited to assist in his surgery should be a big shot in the field of medicine. Otherwise, he or she would not be invited. It was not a bad idea for Director Mou to have an assistant; it would increase their chances of success. When Director Mou heard Grandpa Xi’s question, he replied with a smile,
“You’re familiar with this person too. It’s Su Jin.”
Grandpa Xi was confused. What was the point of bringing Su Jin into such a big surgery? Even if it proved that she wasn’t a good-for-nothing, she didn’t know anything about medicine! Grandpa Xi replied quickly,
“What? Why would you bring her along? She’s just a student, maybe a straight-A student with slightly better grades!”
Grandpa Xi then remembered how he had been slapped in the face when he questioned Su Jin earlier. His face was still hurting a little. He had to stand his ground, or he would lose face. So, Grandpa Xi continued,!!
“Besides, she doesn’t know medicine. She’ll only cause trouble for you if she goes into the operating theater. Why would you have her there?”
Su Jin glanced at Grandpa Xi. This old man really had it for her, and Su jin couldn’t understand why. She had never offended this old man, even when they went back to the Xi family’s old residence last time. She didn’t say anything offensive! Director Mou explained immediately,
“Old master, you really don’t know. Your granddaughter-in-law is a genius, a genius in medicine!”
Director Mou looked at Su Jin proudly. He promised the girl not to reveal her identity; he didn’t make any promises about mentioning her talent in medicine! This wasn’t exposing her secret identity, right?
Xi Chenxiao heard Director Mou’s words and smiled. He looked at Su Jin teasingly. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with the girl. His previous suspicions probably weren’t wrong. Xi Chenxiao whispered in Su Jin’s ear,
“I didn’t expect you to be a medical genius, girl. When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Su Jin felt awkward. There were many things the devil did not know about her… After all, her knowledge was too vast and she had done well; she had made a name for herself in multiple fields.
Yu Haiyang was stunned when he heard Director Mou’s words. When he came back to his senses, he looked at Su Jin in shock. Su Jin was indeed his goddess. It was one thing for her to be good at her studies, but she was also a medical genius. He said in admiration,
“Sister Su, you are really impressive!”
Grandpa Xi looked at Su Jin suspiciously. This girl was a medical genius? There wasn’t a single word about this in her investigative report. Was this a joke? Grandpa Xi mocked,
“Her? Are you kidding? Her grades were so bad before, how could she possibly study medicine? Don’t talk this girl up. I know what kind of person she is!”
Director Mou was speechless. They had been asking him who the miracle-working doctor was, but now that he had told them, no one believed him. Especially Grandpa Xi; he was completely biased. Director Mou replied,
“Old Master Xi, you’re prejudiced against your granddaughter-in-law! Let me tell you, the person who operated on you back then was the twelve-year-old…”
Su Jin quickly interrupted Director Mou. She couldn’t let him tell them. Even if he said it, these people would not believe him. They would have to go through a lot of trouble to prove it. Su Jin gave Director Mou a look and interrupted,
“Grandpa Mou, don’t you think it’s time to prepare for tomorrow’s surgery?”
Director Mou wanted to defend Su Jin, even if it meant exposing Su Jin’s secret identity. However, when he heard Su Jin’s words, he knew that she did not want to be exposed. He nodded helplessly but said very forcefully,
“Old Master Xi, I still have to say this. I must have Su Jin in the operating theater tomorrow as my assistant. Otherwise, I won’t be able to perform this surgery!”
When Grandpa Xi heard this, he immediately looked at Su Jin with disgust. What Director Mou meant was that if Su Jin didn’t go in, he wouldn’t perform the surgery. This Su Jin was really crafty; she even bribed the head of the research institute to bring her into the operating theater.
In Grandpa Xi’s opinion, Su Jin did this to make Xi Chenxiao thank her and love her even more. This was her strategy to keep him. Otherwise, why would she go through so much trouble to be in the operating theater?
