Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Soft Grinding and Hard Soaking

Ji Yu naturally knew they all meant well, so she nodded to show she understood.

She had almost fully recovered on her end.

But Gu Qixiao was already getting fed up with Song Xuan’s incessant drama.

"President Gu, Miss Song wants us to contact Doctor Ji as soon as possible."

This was just one of those things that showed how difficult she could be.

Gu Qixiao’s expression was unreadable, as if this matter had little effect on him.

"Tell her it’s not possible right now."

He knew this incident had deeply impacted Ji Yu, so he hadn’t brought up the surgery with her yet.

Every time he thought of Ji Yu’s swollen, tearful eyes that day, he simply couldn’t bring himself to broach the subject.

But Song Xuan, of course, couldn’t wait any longer.

Even when he was in the office, she managed to latch onto him.

"Xiao, do you find my face disgusting? Do you think it’s humiliating for me to come to you looking like this?"

This wasn’t the real issue.

No one around Gu Qixiao would dare say such things.

But her attitude was making Gu Qixiao feel mentally exhausted.

"I already said I’d arrange it soon. Why won’t you listen to me?"

He looked at Song Xuan, his tone faintly tinged with irritation.

Song Xuan knew her tactics weren’t the best approach, but seeing Gu Qixiao hold back his temper only made her feel smug.

To her, getting Gu Qixiao to endure her without snapping was already a victory.

"Xiao, I just don’t want to keep living with this face. People look at me with judgmental eyes—I feel like I can’t go on anymore."

Her eyes welled up with tears, making her seem pitiful.

But Gu Qixiao was already mentally worn down by situations like this due to PTSD.

"What exactly do you want?"

He had promised to arrange it, so why did Song Xuan act as if he were lying?

"I want to have a good talk with you. Ever since this project started, you’ve become so indifferent about this. Don’t tell me, Xiao, you’ve fallen for someone else?"

She didn’t know who Gu Qixiao had been with recently, but something seemed off to her.

She stared directly at Gu Qixiao, trying to gauge his reaction.

When he heard her accusation, Ji Yu’s image instantly flashed in Gu Qixiao’s mind.

"There’s no such thing. This time it was just a charity event for the orphanage, nothing romantic."

His tone was already exasperated, but he understood Song Xuan’s temperament too well. "If you keep this up, I won’t be able to set up an appointment with Ji Yu. She agreeing to the surgery is already a very rare opportunity."

But to Song Xuan, Ji Yu was just some lowly doctor. What was so impressive about her?

"Xiao, why don’t you come with me to ask again? If things really don’t work out, we can figure it out then."

She could no longer stand being stuck with this face for even a second.

Gu Qixiao knew Ji Yu must still be focusing on repairing her emotional state. She wouldn’t take on this task right now.

But he also knew that if he didn’t go, Song Xuan would keep pestering him. Reluctantly, he took her to look around, hoping she’d get the hint and stop pursuing this.

"Sister Yu hasn’t been here for a week. She said she needed some proper rest."

This didn’t surprise Gu Qixiao. He was well aware of how much Granny Li’s passing had affected Ji Yu.

"Why? Don’t tell me you guys are lying to us?" Song Xuan didn’t believe it and assumed Ji Yu was deliberately avoiding her.

Tian found her reaction baffling. "What’s that supposed to mean? Why would Sister Yu avoid you? And besides, Sister Yu never planned to take your surgery anyway."

Everyone knew how obnoxious Song Xuan was, and as a result, even Gu Qixiao wasn’t looked upon favorably by them.

Gu Qixiao rubbed his temples. "Song Xuan, since she’s not here, let’s leave already. What’s the point of all this drama?"

But Song Xuan stubbornly believed Ji Yu was hiding from her.

"Xiao, don’t you feel sick looking at my face? I know everyone’s just trying to comfort me, but I just want a normal face!"

All she wanted was a normal face—was that too much to ask?

"Xiao, my brother always told me he’d make sure my face got fixed..."

"Enough." Gu Qixiao felt a splitting headache whenever anything regarding her brother was mentioned.

He regretted ever getting involved with this mess.

But now that she was in his care, he couldn’t just abandon her.

"Your face can definitely be repaired. After waiting all these years, can’t you handle a few more days?"

What really worried him was whether Ji Yu was willing to do it.

Just as Song Xuan seemed ready to escalate things further, a cold voice interrupted, "Here at Congxin, we don’t welcome unreasonable and disruptive customers. If this continues, I’ll have to call security."

Nobody had noticed when Ji Yu had arrived at the doorway.

She looked at their behavior, her expression distraught with distaste.

Seeing hope for her face again, Song Xuan instantly softened her stance. "Doctor Ji, if you’d arrived earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. You must’ve already decided to take my surgery, right?"

She couldn’t believe Ji Yu would turn down the money.

Her earlier performance was nothing short of calculated restraint.

Ji Yu sneered coldly, "We’ll talk about the surgery later. Do you have an appointment today?"

Her simple question immediately forced Song Xuan to swallow back whatever she’d intended to argue.

It left her in an awkward limbo, unsure what to say.

"If you don’t have an appointment, then please leave. I don’t repeat myself."

They only served clients with reservations.

Their presence was just wasting others’ time.

"What’s that supposed to mean?" Song Xuan glared at Ji Yu, jealousy flashing in her eyes. All she wanted was to look like Ji Yu—why was it so difficult?

"Exactly what I said. Congxin has always operated this way. Don’t tell me you didn’t know?"

Plenty of wealthy stars and businessmen had sought treatments here before; Ji Yu no longer felt any pressure from dealing with them.

"You’re just refusing to treat me, aren’t you? Do you want my Xiao to keep chasing you down?"

Ji Yu rolled her eyes. "Seems like you’ve got quite the imagination. Why don’t you spin around and take another guess? If you’re so afraid of losing Xiao, then why don’t you take him home and stop dragging me into this?"

It really was that simple.

But Song Xuan couldn’t let go of the scars on her face.

The way she looked at Ji Yu was filled with loathing, but when her gaze shifted to Gu Qixiao, that resentment disappeared.

"Xiao, I’m sorry. I know I got a bit worked up. I don’t even know what’s wrong with me lately—every time I look at my face, I can’t control myself."

Anyone whose face had been disfigured like hers would be emotional, which, she figured, was normal.

Gu Qixiao expressed a semblance of understanding for her outburst.

"Doctor Ji, I sincerely apologize for this. We’ll come back another time with an appointment."

He knew Ji Yu must still be emotionally fragile right now.

Ji Yu reluctantly accepted his apology. "Now that you understand, please leave. I’d rather not make this uglier than it already is."
