This Doctor Is Too Wealthy

Hearing the angry shouts just outside the door, Du Heng shivered.

Before he could react, the yelling escalated into a heated argument between two people.

”You still say you’re not sick? Just look at yourself. Don’t you look like you have a mental illness?” an impatient male voice suddenly exclaimed from the door. ”You’re causing a scene, getting angry for no reason, and you’ve scared the child so much these past few months that he tiptoes everywhere!”

”That’s because he did something wrong,” the woman retorted firmly, countering the man’s accusation. ”If he hadn’t done anything wrong, would I get angry? Let go of me, do you hear?”

Hearing the high-pitched quarrel at the door, Du Heng frowned slightly and rose to walk toward the entrance. Such a commotion was severely disrupting the hospital’s normal order.

BANG.

As Du Heng reached the door, he heard a muffled sound, and simultaneously, a flying shadow brushed past his nose.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Du Heng clearly saw that what had just flashed before his eyes was the door to his own consultation room; it had been violently shoved open from the outside.

”Dean, are you alright?”

The new doctor, who was inside acting as Du Heng’s secretary, felt his heart lurch as he saw the door fly open. From his angle, it looked as if the flying door panel had slammed right into Du Heng’s face.

Du Heng let out a soft breath. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a man at the doorway manhandling a woman with extreme violence—one hand gripping her wrist, the other clutching her neck—dragging her directly toward Du Heng’s office.

Du Heng didn’t know how to describe it. It looked like a mixture of pulling, pushing, and even a bit of lifting.

However, that wasn’t important.

Seeing the man’s aggression and the woman’s fierce resistance, Du Heng’s expression hardened. He immediately cut through the farcical scene with a cold command:

”Let go! What do you think you’re doing?”

Du Heng’s expression was cold, his tone extremely stern. Standing right at the door, his sudden outburst actually startled the man.

The man turned to Du Heng. He stopped pushing but didn’t stop pulling the woman.

Recognizing Du Heng’s attire, the man immediately shouted, ”Doctor, quickly, take a look at this woman! I think she’s gone crazy!”

Du Heng was even more displeased by the man’s unrelenting actions. ”Whatever the issue, let go of her first! Look at yourself! Do you have any idea how this appears? People who know you’re here for a consultation might understand, but those who don’t could think you’re beating your wife! Let go!”

This time, Du Heng not only reprimanded him sternly but also stepped forward and forcibly separated the couple.

However, the moment he did so, Du Heng immediately regretted it.

The woman had just broken free. Before Du Heng could even retract his hands, she lunged, aiming a slap at the man’s face. ”You %#@&! So what if I’m crazy? What are you going to do about it?”

Swearing and attempting to strike someone in public—it was utterly improper.

Especially since Du Heng was standing right between them. Being so close to the agitated woman, he was unfortunately splattered with spittle as she vehemently spat out her words.

It didn’t hurt, but it was like a toad crawling on the back of your foot—it doesn’t bite, but damn, it’s disgusting.

However, Du Heng reacted swiftly. The moment the woman erupted, he reached out and pushed down on her face, forcing her back from her lunge.

”What are you doing? What do you think you’re doing? Isn’t this enough?” Du Heng held his arms out, keeping the couple apart, and immediately said to the new doctor who had come to help, ”Go find security, and call the police.”

The young doctor started to turn to call for help after the first part of the order, but he froze when Du Heng added the second part.

The new doctor looked at Du Heng in confusion. It’s just an argument. Is it really necessary to call the police?

Seeing the new doctor’s dazed expression, Du Heng nearly exploded with exasperation. It’s a threat, don’t you get it?

Fortunately, the words ”call the police” seemed to cow the couple.

Especially the man. He quickly grabbed his wife’s hands again and said apologetically, ”Doctor, please don’t. We’re really here for a consultation.”

This time, the man didn’t grab his wife by the collar, which slightly mollified Du Heng.

”If you’re here for a consultation, then act like it! Why all this shouting and fighting? Is this how you behave when seeing a doctor?” Du Heng looked at the woman, who was glaring but no longer cursing or trying to hit anyone, his tone still thoroughly displeased. ”Decide if you want a consultation or not, then come back. Don’t disrupt other patients. And if you want to fight or argue, do it at home. This is a hospital.”

The man tugged his wife’s hand hard and shot her a fierce glare. Then, turning back to Du Heng, he said apologetically, ”Doctor, we do. We really do want a consultation.”

”If that’s the case, then go queue up.”

The man grinned sheepishly. ”It’s actually our turn now.”

Hmm?

Du Heng glanced at the couple but said nothing more. He turned and walked towards his office desk. ”If it’s your turn, then come in.”
