From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables - Chapter 626
Chapter 626: 331 Inquire (Second Update)
Huang Chao settled down in the hospital, playing the role of a fussy old lady,fetching tea and water, super attentive.
He didn’t just do the chores of an old lady, he also grew a big mouth like an old lady, nagging all day long. Qu Feitai really wanted to use an iron to weld his mouth shut.
“Xiao Fei, what’s going on between you and Ming Jing? People online are saying that the two of you are living together. It’s not true, right? How old is she? She’s not even of legal age yet! We can’t do such a disgraceful thing, we’ll get cursed for it…”
Qu Feitai couldn’t bear it any longer, “Shut up, what does this have to do with anything?”
“I knew it couldn’t be true. You’re quite sensible, so I can rest assured. But…” Huang Chao glanced around mysteriously and drew closer, “Why did she show up at your house in the middle of the night?”
There was excitement in Huang Chao’s eyes as he eagerly gossiped, like a first-in-line paparazzo.
As Qu Feitai was on the verge of exploding with anger, the door to the ward was suddenly knocked on and a person walked in.
Huang Chao looked up, his mouth gaping wide open, utterly shocked.
He had seen her back at Donghan Village Entrance before but had never really seen her properly. He had thought she was a newcomer forced into the village by some wealthy sponsor to suck Xiao Fei’s blood, so he didn’t have a good impression of her.
Who would have thought that after the show aired, this girl, whom he had initially looked down upon, became the most popular person? Now even Xiao Fei had become someone trying to climb up the social ladder.
Especially after Xiao Fei’s true identity was revealed, the situation took a dramatic turn, and he was now being treated like a lapdog.
Huang Chao was furious at this.
His only understanding of this current celebrity came from the hot searches and online articles by large public accounts and marketing campaigns. Even though they praised her as a celestial being, Huang Chao didn’t think much of it.
He had seen too many beauties in the entertainment industry and had become quite discerning in his taste. He knew the tactics of her powerful backers, who must have hired countless fans and influencers to boost her reputation. Huang Chao could see through this kind of trick.
Especially since she had mesmerized Qu Feitai and dragged the untouchable, cold-hearted man down from his pedestal, turning him into her lapdog. This only solidified her goddess status even more. Only the naive Xiao Fei still didn’t realize it and had become a stepping stone for her to climb up.
Before this, he had no favorable impression of this young lady.
But upon meeting her in person today, Huang Chao understood.
Ming Jing walked in carrying a thermos, and when she saw Huang Chao, she nodded her head politely.
Qu Feitai made introductions, “This is my agent, Huang Chao.”
Huang Chao sat there dumbfounded, Qu Feitai was too embarrassed to look at him, and stealthily kicked him.
Huang Chao immediately snapped back to reality and stuttered as he stood up, “You… hel-hello, my… my last name is Huang, I’m Xiao Fei’s agent.”
The young girl smiled softly, “Hello, I am Ming Jing.”
What a gentle and pleasant voice, like a golden oriole emerging from a valley, melodious and euphonious, heavenly music unmatched.
Huang Chao, somewhat flattered, scratched his head: “Uh, you’re here to visit Xiao Fei, right? Please have a seat.”
Huang Chao rolled up his sleeves and wiped the stool he’d just sat on. His eagerness resembled that of an eunuch serving a princess in ancient times.
Qu Feitai couldn’t bear to look any longer.
Ming Jing walked over and placed the thermos on the bedside table, “This is porridge made by Wenwen. Your stomach has been empty for a long time, so you can only have some liquid food for now.”
“Please thank Wenwen for me,” Qu Feitai said.
At that moment, a group of people walked energetically toward the ward from outside. Han Ye spoke to a group of young intern doctors behind him, “You guys wait for me at the door.”
As soon as he left, a group of people began to excitedly discuss.
“Qu Feitai is in this room, Qu Feitai! I never thought I’d be this close to him!”
“And there’s Ming Jing too! I saw her earlier carrying a thermos.”
“My God, they’re absolutely perfect for each other, I’m so smitten!”
The group was restless, secretly peering through the glass on the door, pushing and shoving each other, all very lively.
“Dr. Han.” Ming Jing spoke softly.
Han Ye walked over with a smile, first checking Qu Feitai’s injuries, “You’re recovering quite well. In a few days, you can have the stitches removed and be discharged from the hospital.”Qu Feitai smiled and said, “Thank you, Dr. Han.”
“Alright, I’ve finished checking your injury; how about yours?” Han Ye looked up at Ming Jing.
Qu Feitai immediately sat up straight and asked, “How is your injury?”
Ming Jing wore long sleeves, so no one could see the wound on her arm. Everyone had almost forgotten that just a few days ago, she had suffered a round of sulfuric acid attacks.
“It’s almost healed,” Ming Jing answered nonchalantly.
Han Ye shook his head and said, “Come with me.” This girl always liked to gloss over things.
Ming Jing followed Han Ye out. As soon as they appeared, a group of intern doctors at the door gasped in awe, looking at Ming Jing with a mixture of curiosity and amazement.
“What are you all doing here? Go back to your work!” Han Ye yelled, and the crowd dispersed immediately.
“They’re all interns, sorry for the embarrassment,” he apologized.
Han Ye led her to his office, which was very tidy.
Han Ye took out his tools and said, “Let me see how the wound is.”
Ming Jing rolled up her sleeve, revealing the bandaged wound.
Han Ye asked her to sit on a stool, and bent down to unwrap the gauze, “It might hurt a little… just bear with it.”
Han Ye suddenly laughed, thinking that a ruthless person like her who could cut off rotting flesh would not be afraid of the pain of removing gauze.
The gauze had stuck to the newly grown flesh, making it painful to tear apart. It was unbearable for most people. Han Ye first injected saline water into the gauze to make it easier to separate it from the wound.
Although Ming Jing was not afraid of pain, Han Ye still treated her wound with great care and seriousness. As the best surgeon in Jiangzhou, he effortlessly handled the simple wound, and Ming Jing felt little pain throughout the process.
“The wound is healing well. I’ll apply new medication today, change it again in a week, and arrange a surgery for you with Director Xie of the plastic surgery department next month. She is an expert in her field and will definitely not leave any scars,” he said.
“Thank you, Dr. Han.”
“No need to be polite with me. But actually, I do need a favor from you,” Han Ye rubbed his hands together.
Ming Jing put down her sleeve and said, “Please go ahead, Dr. Han.”
“Well, your Heart Project is currently recruiting research projects, right? I have a college classmate who came from the Berens International Laboratory. He’s now forming a research team, and the subject is confidential for now. Although his team has no shortage of funding and receives strong support from the government, I think this opportunity would be good for both of you. Would you like me to introduce you to each other when you have time?”
Ming Jing smiled and said, “Dr. Han, you are being very considerate, and I appreciate it.”
“Actually, I should be the one thanking you. With someone like you involved in scientific research and development, I see hope. It’s comforting that someone so young has such vision and ambition,” he said.
“At an academic medical conference in Jiangzhou at the end of the month, I’ll invite him to meet you,” he added.
On the other hand, as soon as Ming Jing left, Huang Chao sighed, “She’s so much more beautiful than in the photos. No wonder you’re sticking around in Jiangzhou. You’d rather die under the peony flower and be a ghost with style, huh?”
Qu Feitai kicked him and said, “Shut up, don’t talk nonsense! We’re just friends!”
“Friends, that’s great! The one who is close to the water gets the first pick. You’re getting smarter,” Huang Chao teased.
“Ignore him,” Qu Feitai said, irritated.
“But seriously, she’s so young and already accomplished. Who knows where she will be in the future? I think you need to use some more aggressive moves, or else…”
“I don’t know about the future, but for now, we’re just friends, and that’s all,” Qu Feitai’s expression turned cold.
“Alright, alright, I won’t argue with you. Just focus on recovering,” Huang Chao said.
Qu Feitai glanced at the door and whispered, “Chao, I need a favor from you.”
Huang Chao immediately leaned in, excited.
“Help me look into the Qinglong Association.”
Huang Chao was an excellent gossip, skilled at connecting with people and digging up information. Entrusting him with this task was fitting.
“The Qinglong Association?” Huang Chao stroked his chin, his eyes swirling with thoughts.
“Their former leader, Ran Bowen, and a woman named Yu Jiang by his side.”
