Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Something Is Not Right

"Yuyu, what’s wrong? Ever since we went out today, you’ve been distracted. This isn’t like you."

She had been worried about Ji Yu’s condition before, and now it seemed things had indeed taken a serious turn.

Even when speaking, she was drifting off—how serious could this matter be?

"I’m fine." Ji Yu forced a bitter smile; she wasn’t ready to tell anyone about the matter with the child just yet.

After the dinner, Feng Qinqin couldn’t shake the feeling that Ji Yu was acting strangely, though she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was off.

She could only plead sincerely, "Yuyu, if anything’s bothering you, please don’t keep it to yourself. I’m here for you. You can talk to me about anything."

Ji Yu was amused. "Do I seem like the kind of person who’d do something reckless?"

She had been very clear about her stance from the beginning.

Only then did Feng Qinqin feel reassured.

"Alright, I’ll head back first."

Just as Ji Yu was about to get into her car, she heard her phone ring. Initially thinking it was her parents urging her to return, she answered the call, only to realize it was Gu Qixiao.

"Don’t hang up."

He knew Ji Yu wouldn’t answer his calls, so he’d gone to the trouble of using another number.

"I have something I want to talk to you about—just a proper discussion, no ulterior motives."

His tone was somewhat urgent, though Ji Yu’s thoughts drifted to her diagnosis report.

Recalling Feng Qinqin’s earlier words, Ji Yu became more convinced that he wasn’t a good person.

"Are you done? If you are, I’m hanging up."

Seeing that Ji Yu still had no intention of meeting, Gu Qixiao brought up the diagnosis report from the last time.

"I found your diagnosis report earlier. Don’t you want to take it back?"

The diagnosis report?

Ji Yu thought about how she hadn’t seen her diagnosis report in her bag. Initially, she figured she must’ve thrown it into the trash, but now it seemed likely that it had ended up there.

"I don’t need it. You can keep it."

With that, Ji Yu hung up the call, solidifying her belief that Gu Qixiao was nothing but trouble.

After all, who would use someone’s diagnosis report to threaten them?

However, judging by Gu Qixiao’s tone, he likely still didn’t know about the child.

She couldn’t help feeling a bit troubled. For now, she hadn’t come up with any new plans.

Yet, Dion’s matters still required her attention.

Even if she didn’t want to go out, she had no choice but to come.

"Ji Yu!"

She froze for a moment when she heard Gu Qixiao’s voice.

She quickly snapped back, "Mr. Gu, I’ve said before—there’s nothing for us to discuss. You coming to me won’t change my mind."

Her face, delicate and refined, bore an expression of disdain, as if dealing with someone like him was an absolute burden.

Gu Qixiao’s face turned as sour as if he’d swallowed a fly.

Even his composure was faltering.

"Doctor Ji, I want to talk to you about Song Xuan’s face."

He genuinely cared about Song Xuan’s matter.

Seeing a crowd starting to gather nearby, Ji Yu didn’t want to create too much of a spectacle.

"Let’s discuss this in the office. I still have matters to handle. If you can wait, then wait; if not, leave sooner rather than later."

She understood how valuable Gu Qixiao’s time was, curious to see if he was truly willing to go all out for his little lover.

Gu Qixiao frowned but eventually followed her to the office.

Dion’s condition had improved significantly, and he couldn’t help but greet Ji Yu with a smile when she arrived.

"Recovering this quickly is all thanks to Congxin."

It had given him hope for a full recovery.

Ji Yu smiled back. "The main reason is that you’ve been cooperative. Our hospital has always focused on patients who follow instructions."

As she spoke, she glanced pointedly in Gu Qixiao’s direction, seemingly unintentionally.

Gu Qixiao frowned slightly. He understood perfectly who she was referring to.

Nonetheless, Dion’s recovery did give him hope.

If Song Xuan’s face could regain its previous state, perhaps she wouldn’t continue causing trouble.

"I trust Congxin’s expertise and won’t make any rash moves. However, I still can’t use exaggerated facial expressions yet—Doctor Ji, when do you think I’ll fully recover?"

"Your face doesn’t appear to have changed much compared to before. However, the prior damage is irreversible. I hope Mr. Zhou can prepare himself mentally for that." Ji Yu genuinely felt regret for his once flawless face.

Such a naturally beautiful face, now permanently marred.

Dion seemed a bit dejected, but he appeared to understand that physiological constraints couldn’t be overcome by technology.

"Got it."

He was also aware of the rumors circulating online and couldn’t help but feel indignant on Ji Yu’s behalf. "Doctor Ji, do you need me to speak out for you online?"

"No need. This matter has already passed. If you make another statement, it might stir up trouble again, with more people coming to our hospital to kick up a fuss."

She had grown accustomed to these sorts of things.

Besides, wasn’t someone already here to cause trouble?

Her gaze turned to Gu Qixiao, filled with impatience.

Gu Qixiao couldn’t help but feel uneasy under her look.

Why was her demeanor so gentle toward others, yet so prickly toward him?

Finally, after Dion left, Gu Qixiao couldn’t wait any longer. "Alright, tell me—what do I have to do to get you to treat Song Xuan’s face?"

Ji Yu’s expression carried a hint of irony. "President Gu, my skills aren’t that great. I might not be able to treat Miss Song’s condition. Why don’t you ask someone else instead?"

Her expression was innocent, but there was no way Gu Qixiao was going to believe her.

"You just don’t want to help, right? Is it about money?" He was deeply suspicious of Ji Yu’s intentions.

Ji Yu, on the other hand, simply didn’t want to be involved in Song Xuan’s business.

"President Gu, it’s in writing—Miss Song’s future procedures with other providers have no connection to us at Congxin. If you’re here to see me, you should get back in line."

She didn’t relent at all. From the very start, she had been crystal clear, yet they acted as if they hadn’t heard a word.

Gu Qixiao didn’t want to come across as ignorant himself.

The main issue was Song Xuan’s incessant nagging, pushing him to seek Ji Yu’s help—even if he didn’t want to.

Knowing this, he felt frustrated, but Ji Yu was undeniably the most qualified for the task.

"Doctor Ji, Song Xuan was in the wrong before. If you’re willing to reconsider and perform surgery for her, I’ll agree to any condition you have."

His straightforwardness indicated that if Ji Yu agreed, everything would quickly fall into place.

Yet Ji Yu’s demeanor remained indifferent. "Apologies, but I have my principles. I don’t work with people who lack them."

And with that, the two remained at an impasse.

Ji Yu had long since deemed him untrustworthy, leaving no room for compromise.

"President Gu, if you’ve run out of arguments, why not step aside? There are others waiting to see me—I can’t spend all my time on you."

Her gaze toward Gu Qixiao resembled that reserved for refuse.

That look tested Gu Qixiao’s patience, making him restless. "Ji Yu, I’m giving you one last chance—will you agree or not?"

"And if I refuse? What then? Is President Gu planning to resort to violence?" Ji Yu sneered coldly, her voice tinged with irony.
