Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Continuing to Torment the Scum (9)

Xiao Yebai slightly lifted the corners of his lips and bowed his head to take a sip of the red wine from the tall glass, the bitterness and sweetness of the wine seeming to match his current mood precisely.

In the Xiao Family’s large mansion, when Xiao Yebai suggested having his own doctor come to explain things to the old lady, Xiao Shulan was definitely the first to object. Since it was her idea, how could it be turned around to give her brother the initiative?

Xiao Shulan promptly spoke up to their grandmother, "Grandma, Yebai is always loafing around. How could he possibly understand so much about women’s issues?

"Does he even know what kind of doctor is good for women? Whether it’s diagnosing pregnancy, maintaining a pregnancy, or giving birth, each stage is critical, and the slightest mistake is unacceptable. The doctor is extremely important."

"From what you’re saying—" Grandma didn’t look rushed, clearly Xiao Shulan’s words were to her liking. The elderly woman indeed knew how important it was to hire a doctor, especially given that anything could happen in a family like theirs. She said, "Tell me, do you have any good candidates in mind?"

"Yes," Xiao Shulan immediately brought up her own obstetrician, "Back when I was pregnant with Yueting, the baby was almost lost, but Doctor Lu helped me. Grandma should remember this incident."

That incident was over a decade ago, and with more than one grandchild, the obstetricians for the different granddaughters were not the same. Grandma genuinely couldn’t recall what Dr. Lu, the obstetrician of her second daughter, looked like and could only vaguely respond, "Is that so?"

At this, the third and fourth immediately took the opportunity to cover their mouths and laugh.

The third, Xiao Shuju, said, "Grandma, that Dr. Lu, I had consulted him before, and he couldn’t solve my problem."

Was this somewhat of a reprisal since the second daughter didn’t speak up for them earlier?

Xiao Shulan hadn’t even had the chance to frown at the stab in the back from the third when the youngest, Xiao Shuzhu, began to speak about foreign experts.

"Grandma, how can domestic medicine compare to America? The most advanced medical science in the world is over there. I’ve already told my elder sister before, if there are any issues, she could go to America for consultation," she stated.

With that, Xiao Shuju was displeased.

"My family is here; my husband is here. You expect me to go overseas for treatment? What do you want me to do?"

Knowing that the third always feared her husband being lured away by some temptress, Xiao Shuzhu disdainfully curled her lip, looking at her sister, "What? Can something happen if your husband’s without you for a day?"

Listening to her daughters arguing back and forth, Grandma found their opinions varied and clearly unreliable.

"Ahem." Xiao Yebai cleared his throat, instantly drawing the full attention of his elder sisters.

It seems like when facing this younger brother, the elder sisters’ opinions are united.

Xiao Yebai looked over the several fierce tigresses and faintly frowned.

In the eyes of Xiao Shuju and the others, his brows really resembled their mother’s—so beautiful.

For some reason, none of the daughters had inherited their mother’s most beautiful genes. The best essence of their mother seemed to have been left to this younger brother alone, which was truly a bitter feeling.

"Grandma." Xiao Yebai tilted his white shoes as if he was directing his sisters, and with a smile that was not quite a smile, he said, "The second sister said, Mingxin Hospital has the best doctors, which is true. Our family’s hospital’s doctors are the most reliable. The third sister mentioned that Dr. Lu is not good, and indeed, I’ve heard from others that there was a near accident involving him before. Had a miracle doctor not appeared to save the day, it would have blown up into a big issue. Just right, the fourth sister mentioned, the technology from America is the most reliable. Of course, a doctor who has studied in America and is even sought after by America should be the best."

Grandma immediately got her grandson’s implication: "Are you saying, a doctor as miraculous as you described who meets the criteria of your three sisters truly exists?"

"Yes, I don’t believe my sisters haven’t heard of him. At least, my second and third sisters should know. His name is Tang Sili."

As soon as the name Tang Sili was mentioned, indeed, Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju’s faces both visibly shook.

Xiao Shuzhu noticed the strange expressions on her sisters’ faces and thought to herself, could he be that legendary doctor?

Grandma Xiao must have heard of this name as well, her eyebrows slightly lifted, and she spoke calmly, "It seems you’ve invited him over."

"Yes, there’s nothing better than having a professional doctor to clear up Grandma’s doubts. After all, neither my sisters nor I pursued medicine, none of our words hold as much weight as those of a famous doctor," Xiao Yebai responded with the same calmness as the elderly.

"Hmm. You’re not wrong in saying that," Grandma Xiao nodded in approval of her grandson’s approach, "In fact, I’ve been wanting to meet him for a long time."

The underlying meaning of the old lady’s words was profoundly deep.

Almost everyone from Xiao Family present couldn’t fully grasp the significance behind her words.

Kang Family’s father and son along with Lin Jiale had already positioned themselves in a corner, simply observing from a distance.

Hearing the old lady’s words now, these few men’s eyes met, as if they all thought of something.

"It’s said that Tang Sili really did return after completing his studies in the United States," Lin Jiale mused quietly.

"Given his family’s condition, it’s quite incredible that he could go abroad directly to study medicine in the United States right after high school graduation," Kang Baojun added.

As the conversation reached this point, it seemed quite clear, confirming the fact that Tang Sili was intentionally sent abroad to study medicine by someone, the purpose of which seems worthy of scrutiny.

"Which specialty is he devoted to?" Lin Jiale asked.

It appeared that Kang family’s father and son had done more homework in this area.

Kang Baojun answered, "He’s a surgeon, seemingly capable of performing any kind of surgical operation. Like they just mentioned, earlier when Doctor Lu had complications in an obstetric surgery, it was he who went over to assist."

"Now this person is very popular, and also very arrogant. Even the hospital director has to invite him three or four times," said Kang Junjia.

Undoubtedly, they had all met Tang Sili, and they were somewhat displeased by his overly arrogant demeanor.

"This man is quite greedy," Kang Baojun continued, "Every time the director asks for his assistance, he needs to transfer money into his account first. Of course, besides money, he doesn’t seem to care much about reputation. For example, when performing surgeries for others, he never publicizes it; he just wants the money."

Lin Jiale, too, had not expected such an interesting doctor; he squinted his eyes slightly.

Following Grandma’s instructions, soon enough, Tang Sili appeared at the Xiao Family’s house entrance.

Xiao Shuzhu glanced over and saw that the man was not only young but also exuded a quiet mystique. The indifference on his face possessed a fatally attractive allure.

Having seen many world-class celebrities and talents overseas, Xiao Shuzhu couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.
