Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Sowing Discord

Yan Qianyi thought to herself that Xu Yuan was brought up by her mother and had frequent contact with her at the Group.

If her mother really offended someone, Xu Yuan should know about it.

Xu Yuan shook his head, "Not yet, my master had always been kind to others during her lifetime and never had any grudges with anyone."

Yan Qianyi fiddled with a pen in her hand, spinning it around her slender fingers.

She said, "In that case, help me check one more thing. Look into the patients my mother treated in the past to see if there were any medical accidents."

Xu Yuan shook his head, "How could that be possible? My master has been practicing medicine for many years and has never had a medical accident. Ever since I joined the hospital, I’ve been by her side, and every patient we encountered was very grateful to her."

"Then start from the year you entered Yan Hospital and look back from there."

"Alright, I’ll look into it."

Yan Qianyi nodded.

That was the only lead she could pursue now.

The only possibility she could think of for her mother to make enemies was a medical accident.

Although she had never heard of any medical accidents occurring to her mother.

But some medical accidents could be suppressed and not reported.

Yan Qianyi glanced at the time; it was already 5:30 PM.

"Doctor Xu, how about we have dinner together tonight? There’s a new Western restaurant across the street that seems to have a good reputation. I also need your help with something, so we can talk while we eat."

"Okay, I’ll go book a place."

"Great, let’s head over at 6 PM. I just need to organize some material, wait for me for half an hour."

Last night, she had taken the time to briefly look over Shirley’s pathological report.

Although she had learned some modern medical knowledge from her mother since she was little, she had never undergone formal systematic training.

Some professional academic issues were different from the Ancient Medical Technique she learned in the otherworld.

The professional terminology used in both types of medical skill was also different.

So, she still needed Xu Yuan to help her analyze it.

Xu Yuan’s medical skill was now considered one of the top in the Federation Empire.

Unfortunately, Hong wasn’t skilled in management, leading to the declining state of Yan’s.

Yan Qianyi altered the name Shirley on the pathological report.

After all, Shirley’s identity was very sensitive and of major importance, and should not be carelessly exposed.

After organizing Shirley’s pathological report, she saw that the time was about right and went to the door of Xu Yuan’s office.

The office door was open, and she gently knocked before looking inside.

Xu Yuan lifted his head from a pile of documents.

Yan Qianyi smiled at him slightly, "Doctor Xu, let’s go."

Seeing her charming smile, Xu Yuan was momentarily stunned, then nodded.

The two left the Yan Group’s office building together and headed to the Western restaurant across the street.

Yan Qianyi was completely unaware that someone had secretly taken photos of her and Xu Yuan "pairing up."

The photos were transmitted to Mu Huaner’s personal system.

Mu Huaner looked at the photos with a smile curling up at the corners of her lips.

The man in the photos appeared to be around thirty, with a refined and cultured temperament and a very gentlemanly demeanor.

He would extend a hand to protect Yan Qianyi while crossing the street, and he also took the initiative to hold the door open when entering the restaurant.

Mu Huaner immediately messaged the person who sent the photos: [Who is this man?]

The other party replied, "There’s a doctor at Yan Hospital who seems to hold an important position in the group as well, but I need to check for specifics."

"No need, this is enough."

Mu Huaner thought about it with a mischievous smile.

Then she sent a message to Mu Yunlie, asking, "Ah Lie, are you busy? Could you give me Qianyi’s personal system contact information?"

At noon, Mu Yunlie was resting and replied to Mu Huaner immediately.

"Does little aunt have something to do with Qianyi?"

That little thing has been very busy lately; he knew she didn’t like dealing with social interactions.

So, unless it was something special, he didn’t want his family to bother her.

Mu Huaner: "It’s nothing urgent, but there’s a new Western restaurant that’s very popular recently, right across from Yan Group, so I wanted to invite Qianyi for a meal. I just happened to see her walking into the restaurant with a man. I called out to her from afar, but she didn’t hear me. I was thinking of going up to say hi, but I was afraid it would be too abrupt and impolite, especially since she already had a company. So, I wanted to make a voice call first to ask her, and if she’s okay with it, we can dine together."

Looking at the lengthy message from Mu Huaner, Mu Yunlie frowned and asked, "What man?"

Mu Huaner: "I don’t know; I don’t recognize him. But I just took a couple of photos, I’ll send them over for you to see if you recognize him. If he’s someone you also know, then I’ll just go over and say hello."

With Ah Lie’s status and personality, he certainly wouldn’t know that man.

Mu Huaner deliberately chose two photos that made the two look closer and sent them to Mu Yunlie.

"Ah Lie, do you recognize him?"

Mu Yunlie stared at the photo, his eyes darkening, and his handsome face gradually tensed.

He immediately said to Ah Chang, "Check out this man in the photo."

Meanwhile, Mu Huaner waited for a while.

Seeing that Mu Yunlie hadn’t replied yet, she sent another message: "Never mind, an old classmate just called me for a meetup, I’ll invite Qianyi some other time."

She had achieved her goal.

As long as Ah Lie saw that photo, that was enough.

She understood Ah Lie’s character well—his possessiveness and need for control over his own things were extremely strong.

Just like the stray cats and dogs he took in when he was younger; no one else was allowed to touch them. Even feeding them without his permission would make him angry.

These two photos were enough for Yan Qianyi to have to explain.

Yan Qianyi had already sat down with Xu Yuan in a private room.

It was the time of sunset, and the golden-red sun shone in, casting its glow on her exquisite face.

She was looking down at the menu, the speckled sunlight dancing like twinkling sprites upon her fluttery lashes, making Xu Yuan briefly lose himself in the sight.

"I’ve made my choices. Doctor Xu, what would you like to have?"

Yan Qianyi looked up just in time to catch Xu Yuan’s assessing gaze.

Xu Yuan felt a bit embarrassed, "Sorry, I was looking at you, and it felt like I was seeing my master. I got lost in thought; it was quite unseemly."

Having spoken directly and without evasions, Xu Yuan came across as straightforward and honest.

So Yan Qianyi didn’t mind it, and with a slight smile, said, "Many people say I look a lot like my mom."

Xu Yuan nodded, "Indeed, you bear a striking resemblance. It wasn’t as noticeable when you were younger, but now you’ve matured, your demeanor is really just like hers."

Yan Qianyi was delighted to hear others say she resembled her mother.

It was a good thing she didn’t look like Yan Hong; otherwise, she would consider plastic surgery.

Xu Yuan reminisced, "I remember the first time I went to a Western restaurant, it was my master who took me."

Just as Yan Qianyi was about to say something, a video call from Mu Yunlie came through.

That guy, always calling when she was busy.

She hung up and sent a message back: "I’m busy, will contact you later."
