Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 78 Disfigurement

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Disfigurement

The woman, caught, hastily used her hand to cover the mask on her face.

"This is what Ji Yu owes me!"

She had long stopped caring about anger, but what Ji Yu had done before, she would never forget in this lifetime.

Ji Yu frowned, not knowing who this person was.

At the very least, from the voice just now, she absolutely didn’t recognize this woman.

"Are you familiar with me?"

A person like this should have left some impression on Ji Yu.

The woman let out a cold snort. "Doctor Ji, you often forget people, but I will never forget you."

Ji Yu frowned, realizing that anyone who called her Doctor Ji was likely to have had prior treatments with their clinic. Her gaze held a hint of scrutiny.

"Have you been treated here by me before?"

Under normal circumstances, a face should have resumed its normal appearance after treatment.

Why, then, did it seem as if they bore some deep, irreconcilable hatred?

"It’s because of you that my face was ruined, and you still have the audacity to deny it!"

She glared viciously at Ji Yu. In an unguarded moment, a small piece of skin became visible—a scar that had entirely disfigured her face.

Yet, Ji Yu had absolutely no recollection of this woman.

"Take off your mask and let me have a look. I don’t know who you are, but if it was a surgery conducted at our clinic, there absolutely would not have been any issues."

She had immense confidence in her skills.

Still, something about this situation felt off; she couldn’t shake the feeling that these people were deliberately stirring up trouble.

The woman stubbornly refused to remove her mask. Left with no recourse, Ji Yu called the police. "I’ll first take Gu Qixiao to get his wound treated. You can explain everything once the police arrive."

Lu Xingchen wanted to go with her, but Ji Yu stopped him. "I can handle this alone. I need you to take care of things here, Brother Xingchen. Also, you can’t afford to be involved."

He was a public figure, and it was better for him to steer clear of such matters.

To Ji Yu, medical disputes like this were not rare. However, even when they occurred, she would never shirk responsibility.

Gu Qixiao, seeing Ji Yu’s serious demeanor, couldn’t help but comfort her. "I trust your skills. This woman’s disfigurement has nothing to do with you."

He knew how capable Ji Yu was; there was absolutely no way her surgery would cause someone’s face to end up like this.

Ji Yu appeared a little hesitant. "To be honest, I can’t be entirely sure what’s going on here. After all, I’ve performed an overwhelming number of surgeries."

Deep down, she started to wonder if she could have made some kind of technical error in the past.

"But I believe in you." When Gu Qixiao thought about Ji Yu’s meticulous approach to surgery, he was convinced she couldn’t possibly have made a mistake.

Ji Yu was slightly surprised. "You certainly have faith in me."

Still, she leaned toward the possibility that this woman’s face had undergone some other procedure afterward, leading to this condition.

More time would be needed to investigate the truth of the matter.

After tending to Gu Qixiao’s wound, Ji Yu couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.

"Consider this incident a favor I owe you. In the future, if something like this happens, please don’t act so impulsively."

Who knew whether there was something wrong with the knife?

Fortunately, this time it was just a minor wound.

"How could there be something wrong with the knife?"

"You don’t know—there are some really malicious people out there who enjoy using such methods to torment others." She wasn’t sure how to explain it, but she hinted at her concerns.

"If the knife isn’t clean, it can easily transmit diseases."

Such occurrences were not uncommon.

Especially when dealing with extreme individuals who were prone to this kind of behavior.

These were the types of complications Ji Yu dreaded most.

Gu Qixiao understood what she meant, but in that moment, his body had moved faster than his brain. He hadn’t considered these risks at all.

"As long as you’re okay," he said.

This time, he didn’t seek credit for his actions. He was simply worried about Ji Yu’s safety.

"Thank you for what you did today, but please don’t use these kinds of tactics to pursue me. Honestly, I haven’t thought about getting married again."

Gu Qixiao was aware of her divorce, although he likely didn’t realize that it was he who had been her ex-husband.

"Not considering marriage doesn’t mean you’re unwilling. Maybe you’re just temporarily disillusioned with the people around you. But who knows? Maybe I’m the one you truly like."

In this regard, Gu Qixiao was quite confident.

"Alright, that’s enough for now. We’ll talk about this later. I need to head to the police station to figure out what’s going on. If this has nothing to do with our clinic, I must demand justice."

But before she even had a chance to go to the police station, she received a call from Lu Xingchen.

"Yu, there seems to be something suspicious about this situation. The moment trouble started here, news of it was already leaked online. It’s clear this was premeditated."

The speed at which everything unfolded suggested that someone had meticulously planned it all in advance.

Ji Yu frowned. "Can you find out who’s behind this?"

"No leads for now, but most of the comments online are accusing your clinic’s equipment of being faulty, saying there have been numerous problems."

This was clearly targeting Ji Yu.

Whether or not this specific individual had a real complaint, such allegations were bound to arise.

Additionally, a wave of supposed victims of facial disfigurement had quickly surfaced online.

Seeing this, Ji Yu gained new insight. "Looks like this person is merely the catalyst. Whether or not these disfigurements were caused by our clinic, these so-called victims are sure to garner sympathy."

And public opinion would inevitably weigh against her.

Gu Qixiao, reading the situation, couldn’t help but frown. He was well aware of Ji Yu’s exceptional skills, and there was no way she could be responsible for such blunders.

"Someone is definitely orchestrating this. I’ll arrange to have these online posts taken down immediately."

He worried these accusations would harm Ji Yu.

Ji Yu frowned. "Not just yet. I want to see what the person behind this is really up to."

She hadn’t knowingly offended anyone recently.

Who could possibly go to such lengths just to trouble her?

Ji Yu was filled with suspicion but had already mentally prepared herself.

"There must be others involved in this. I’m not afraid of being criticized. If they want to curse at me, let them. All I care about is uncovering who’s pulling the strings."

While such situations were unavoidable, the root cause had to be identified.

Seeing the determination in Ji Yu’s expression, Gu Qixiao felt a surge of understanding. "I’ll help you."

He cared for Ji Yu deeply and would never allow her to face danger.

"You don’t need to intervene. I can handle this myself."

She had her own approach to dealing with such matters.

Hearing this, Gu Qixiao’s eyebrows furrowed with helplessness. "Sometimes, you should look at the support around you. You don’t have to bear everything alone."

He fully understood Ji Yu’s mindset.
