This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

”Men’s words are nothing but lies! I’ll never believe a thing you say again.”

Wu Shengnan was truly about to be driven mad by Du Heng. ”You promised me last night that you’d let me arrange everything today, but you’ve broken your word! You said you were accompanying me on this trip, to take wedding photos with me. But it feels like I’m the one here to accompany you while you work. You big liar!”

Seeing Wu Shengnan fuming, Du Heng could only manage an awkward smile.

”Liar! If I ever believe you again, I’m an old sow!” Wu Shengnan was so furious her words were tripping over themselves.

But Du Heng, usually so mature and composed, suddenly became glib. ”No, no, no. Let’s stick to being human; it’s much better.”

”AAAH! You’re still bullying me now!” Wu Shengnan exploded, drumming her small fists against Du Heng’s back.

And believe me, it really hurt.

Du Heng gritted his teeth and apologized, but seeing Wu Shengnan wasn’t listening, he swiftly turned and pulled her into his embrace. ”There, there, be good. Listen to me, I really didn’t lie to you this time.”

”I don’t believe you!” Wu Shengnan struggled fiercely but stopped pummeling Du Heng.

Du Heng didn’t dare loosen his grip, afraid that the woman would start hitting him again if he did.

”I’m telling the truth this time. A senior invited me last night, and it would have been impolite to refuse. Besides, my assistant has come over too. He’ll help me handle any work that comes up later. Don’t worry, it’s just for this morning. From this afternoon onward, I’m all yours. You can take my mobile phone, take my wallet, how about that?”

Wu Shengnan looked at Du Heng, her large eyes blinking rapidly. ”Are you really telling the truth this time?”

”I can swear an oath.”

”Then I’ll trust you one more time.”

”That’s my good girl.”

”Disgusting.”

Disgusting or not, Du Heng couldn’t be bothered. As long as Wu Shengnan wasn’t angry and was willing to act like a normal person, that was all that mattered. And he’d discovered that as long as he held Wu Shengnan in his arms, problems generally weren’t too difficult to solve.

Since the two of them couldn’t go out, and with Du Heng’s renewed promises, coupled with her fatigue from waking up early, Wu Shengnan chose to go back and continue sleeping on the large bed in the hotel.

Du Heng, glad for the peace and quiet, got a car from the hotel and headed straight for the airport.

What he didn’t know, however, was that word of him rebuffing a National Medical Master’s student yesterday had already spread through various circles. Everyone’s interest was further piqued when they heard this person was an Internet Celebrity Doctor with no established school or backing. They all wanted to know if this Young man dared to slight the National Medical Master because he was out of his mind, or if he truly possessed genuine skills.

As for the things online, people had only seen the patient’s transformation, without any concrete treatment methods or medical prescriptions being shared, so everyone was rather skeptical. Naturally, the skepticism outweighed the belief. After all, there was no shortage of fakes among internet celebrities these days. It wasn’t uncommon for Doctors to fabricate things, especially in traditional Chinese medicine, where the cost of such deception was very low. Even if caught, it was much easier for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to make excuses compared to their Western medicine counterparts.

Western medicine is evidence-based medicine. No matter the illness, the entire treatment process is completely traceable. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. But traditional Chinese medicine is different. It emphasizes a unique prescription for each individual. If the treatment worked, it was ’my medical skill is superior.’ If it didn’t, ’it’s an issue with your constitution.’

So, without witnessing it firsthand, people still held considerable doubts about Du Heng’s abilities.

Those in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Circle, the Ophthalmology Circle, and anyone who had heard the news were all eager to meet Du Heng.

The same was true for the Ophthalmology Department at Harmony Hospital. When they heard from ’Overlord’ Professor Zhang that the Internet Celebrity Doctor, Du Heng, was coming to see the strange case in their department, they all grew very excited. The busier staff constantly monitored the patient’s hospital room, while those with more free time gathered in twos and threes, chatting and waiting for Du Heng, who had become an overnight sensation in the Capital Medical Circle, to appear.

If Du Heng knew he had become famous in the Capital Medical Circle not for his medical skills but for slighting a National Medical Master, one wonders what he would think.

Harmony Hospital was opulent, and its Ophthalmology Department was even more impressive. Spacious, bright, and spotless—one almost hesitated to step on the immaculate white corridors.

At the entrance to the doctors’ office, several Doctors were furtively peeking out, craning their necks towards the Director’s office.

”Has he arrived yet?”

”Not yet.”

”Did you miss him? It’s already past ten o’clock. No matter how many online fans Du Heng has, he can’t put on such airs, can he? It was Professor Zhang who invited him.”

The Doctor who had been peering out grew impatient, straightened up, and walked back towards the office. ”My eyes are sore from looking. I’m done.”

The others checked the time, their patience also wearing thin, and followed him back into the office.

”Do you guys think this Du Heng might be someone the Traditional Chinese Medicine Circle is deliberately promoting?” someone suddenly voiced this question.

This question immediately piqued Everyone’s curiosity. They all turned to look at the Doctor who had spoken. ”Why do you say that?”

The Doctor who had posed the question leaned in, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. ”Listen to my analysis, and tell me if I’m wrong. The one who recommended Du Heng is Professor Lan Changhua, and Professor Lan Changhua is a traditional Chinese medicine expert. The one who was slighted yesterday was also a student of a National Medical Master in traditional Chinese medicine, which is tantamount to slighting the National Medical Master himself. However, everyone present yesterday was from their Traditional Chinese Medicine Circle. The news we heard came from them. As for what actually happened on site, we don’t know; we only have their version of events.”
