Chapter 331: Dongfang Yang'S True Feelings
Morning, outside the hotel entrance.
An elderly man with snow-white hair and a vigorous spirit got into Dongfang Yang's car.
He carried a black briefcase, his face amiable, his eyes already small and accentuated by round-rimmed spectacles. When he smiled, his wrinkles deepened, almost obscuring his eyes completely.
The fact that Dongfang Yang had personally come to pick him up meant that he was, of course, the renowned hypnosis master.
A direct descendant of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Yang's Seventh Uncle—Dongfang Wen.
He wasn't just accomplished in hypnosis; he was also a famous psychology professor, with countless honors to his name.
His abilities were so great that even Lin the doctor and Chen the doctor combined might not be his equal.
He hadn't wanted to travel all the way from the capital to Jiuzhou City, and when faced with Dongfang Yang's request, he'd even considered sending a student to handle it perfunctorily.
But when he heard that the subject of the hypnotic therapy was a girl...
He immediately booked a flight.
The reason was simple: Dongfang Yang was the only direct male heir of the Dongfang family.
They had arranged meetings with countless girls from powerful families, catering to every preference of height, build, and appearance, but Dongfang Yang hadn't taken a liking to any of them.
They weren't even demanding that he get married in his twenties. With so many women, he could at least have a bit of fun!
But Dongfang Yang not only didn't want to play around with women, he even ran off to Jiuzhou City by himself.
The only person Dongfang Yang seemed to be close to was Qian Qing, but even with that woman, Dongfang Yang showed no romantic interest.
The family was starting to worry if Dongfang Yang was gay.
And now, Dongfang Wen had come to Jiuzhou City with the intention of personally vetting the situation.
He turned to Dongfang Yang, who was driving, and said, "Boy, do you have the information and medical records I asked you to prepare?"
"Seventh Uncle, they're in the bag at your feet. It's rush hour, so it'll probably take at least half an hour to get to my private hospital."
"No matter, I need to have some basic understanding. I'll take a look."
Dongfang Wen adjusted his glasses, casually picked up a medical report from the bag, moistened his finger, and began to flip through it page after page.
But after a moment, he let out a soft "Huh? Your friend is a bit strange. Severe abdominal trauma, even serious internal bleeding, and yet she didn't suffer a prolonged coma, and could get out of bed in four days, and run in seven?"
Dongfang Wen had seen many bizarre cases, but he had never seen anything like this.
No matter how good her constitution or how strong her recovery ability, it should still take a month or two, right?
His gaze became suspicious. "You little rascal, you're not trying to test me with a fake medical report to see if I'm getting senile, are you?"
"How could I, Seventh Uncle?" Dongfang Yang said with a helpless smile. "My friend's constitution is extremely unusual compared to ordinary people. Otherwise, why do you think I would repeatedly tell you not to tell the family the specific details of this trip?"
"If I didn't need your help with her treatment, I wouldn't even have told you," Dongfang Yang stopped at a red light, a complex look flashing across his face. "If too many people know about her condition, even I won't be able to protect her."
Thinking of Chi Xiaocheng's experiences, Dongfang Yang's voice lowered.
From childhood, he, a young master, had lived a carefree life, truly with everything handed to him on a silver platter.
As the sole heir of the Dongfang family, he was pampered by his family without limit. Aside from the basic education in knowledge and etiquette required of a member of the Dongfang family, his family didn't interfere with anything else.
His father was strict, but his mother was extremely gentle.
With their completely opposite personalities, he was more inclined toward his mother.
He was taught by his mother to do good deeds, and from a young age, he often used family money to sponsor homeless children or people with disabilities, donating money here and there as if it were nothing.
He had helped many people, and therefore understood the difficulties of ordinary people and those at the bottom of society.
As he understood more, giving people fish gradually turned into teaching them how to fish.
However, different circles still influenced perception. Being poor in the capital was different from being poor in a small, third-tier city.
Both were poor, but they were not on the same level.
Having met many people, Chi Xiaocheng was one of the most miserable people Dongfang Yang had ever seen.
Perhaps it was because of Su Tao, or perhaps Chi Xiaocheng's beauty and cuteness were extremely rare among ordinary girls, or perhaps it was the "Dongfang Brother" she had called him when they cleared up the misunderstanding before.
Dongfang Yang did indeed treat Chi Xiaocheng like a younger sister.
Under the pre-existing impression that "Chi Xiaocheng has a secret crush on me," as a normal man, he also developed 10 to 20 percent of affection out of his 100 percent normal emotions.
He mostly treated Chi Xiaocheng as a younger sister, but he couldn't help but feel a bit fond of this little one.
Because of this, as he walked along with Chi Xiaocheng, he felt more and more sorry for her.
His private hospital was almost Chi Xiaocheng's private hospital, Professor Su had become her exclusive doctor, and all the resident nurses at the hospital knew her. Because of her unique cuteness, being assigned to care for Chi Xiaocheng had even become a perk.
Although she still had to go to work, she was very well-behaved and easily healed.
And she had almost died three times!
It was easy to imagine how torturous it would be to survive death's clutches.
People's emotions would affect their tone, eyes, and subtle movements. Dongfang Wen only glanced at his grand-nephew before he was sure that the medical report in his hand was mostly true.
He calmed down, finished reading the report, and then picked up another report, skipping Chi Xiaocheng's basic information and going straight to the content.
The more he read, the more shocked he became.
The heart stopped beating, but the cells in the body still maintained activity for a long time.
In the end, the heart started beating again because of the cells' repair.
Are you kidding me?
Are you guys writing a novel for the medical report?
But after Dongfang Wen saw the signature of the attending doctor, he couldn't question the authenticity of the report.
He knew Professor Su, a student of one of his friends. He had even mentored Professor Su for a while before she became a professor.
He recognized the strength of this student.
And now, he was increasingly looking forward to seeing this amazing patient.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Due to the traffic, the arrival at Great Sun Hospital was later than usual.
By the time the grandfather and grandson arrived at the hospital entrance, Su Tao was already sitting on the bench outside, waiting.
Su Tao's dashing ponytail fluttered in the wind, and her nervous heart finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two men. "Dongfang Yang, you're back. Is this the master?"
Dongfang Wen sized up Su Tao, and a flash of amazement flickered in his eyes. He leaned close to Dongfang Yang's ear and said, "Boy, is this the girl you've taken a fancy to? No wonder you don't like those powder-and-rouge girls the family arranged for you."
Dongfang Yang rolled his eyes at the mischievous old man beside him. "Seventh Uncle, don't make fun of me. She hasn't taken a liking to me."
He still vividly remembered Su Tao's words, "I'm just using you."
He mostly treated Su Tao as a younger sister, but now, as he treated her, he had truly become a brother.
The less said, the better!
But Dongfang Wen's expression changed slightly. "You mean, this isn't Miss Chi Xiaocheng?"
Observation, listening, inquiry, and palpation were his basic skills over the years.
The person in front of him was already so abnormal, and yet she wasn't the main subject?
