"Thank you for your trouble, Director Qian," Chen Zheng said with a nod and a smile.

He had said this before, and the result was exactly the same. It was just a shame his wife refused to believe him.

Witnessing this scene, Wei Zixuan and Sun Yan were utterly shocked, unable to believe their own eyes.

This was especially true for Sun Yan.

She couldn't understand why Director Qian was being so courteous to Chen Zheng. She was the one who had specially invited Director Qian here, so why was he reporting the situation to that piece of useless trash? Was he truly unable to grasp the situation?

"Director Qian, what is..." Sun Yan couldn't stop herself from asking. The situation was simply too bizarre.

Qian Guomin quickly spoke up. "Miss Sun, you may not be aware, but this Mr. Chen is a highly skilled master of traditional Chinese medicine. I strongly invited him to provide clinical guidance for your father's surgery this afternoon!"

"We will be using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. If all goes well, the success rate of your father's surgery will be greatly increased!"

"You don't need to worry now. With Mr. Chen's help, your father will be in no danger!"

Staring at Qian Guomin's smiling face and hearing his words, Sun Yan was completely dumbfounded.

Did I hear that right? This guy is a master of traditional Chinese medicine? And he's going to guide my father's surgery this afternoon? What a joke!

"Director Qian, you haven't been deceived, have you?" she asked.

"You actually invited this piece of useless trash to guide my father's surgery?" Sun Yan's eyes widened, completely unable to accept this reality.

Chen Zheng was the person she had always despised the most, and now he was going to guide her father's surgery?

Qian Guomin was stunned for a moment before his expression turned grim. "Miss Sun, please watch your words!"

"Mr. Chen's skills are formidable. He has the demeanor of a great physician, one that even I cannot compare to!"

"What right do you have to look down on Mr. Chen?" he demanded, his tone turning very unpleasant by the end.

This woman is simply ungrateful. It was hard enough to get Chen Zheng to agree to participate in this afternoon's surgery, and now she's rejecting the offer?

"No, no, no..." Sun Yan said, clenching her fists. "Director Qian, you must be mistaken. This man is nothing but trash, incapable of any medical skill! I absolutely cannot allow such a person to participate in my father's surgery!"

"You dare to be so ungrateful?" Qian Guomin's face darkened. "Since you're so obstinate, I won't mince words! If Mr. Chen doesn't participate in the surgery today, then neither will I. You can find someone else to operate on your father!"

After saying this, Qian Guomin snorted and turned away. He hadn't been very willing to perform the surgery to begin with. After all, the success rate wasn't particularly high. If it failed, it would do irreversible damage to his reputation.

Seeing that Qian Guomin had actually backed out, Sun Yan was utterly stupefied.

"No, no, no..." she stammered. "Director Qian, how can you not do it? Don't forget, we gave you twenty..."

Before she could finish, Qian Guomin let out a cold laugh. "I believe you're referring to what you left in my office the other day? I was just about to tell you to come and get it. We have very strict rules here and cannot accept anything from a patient's family!"

He had been worried that if the surgery failed, the family would use the money to cause trouble, so of course he hadn't dared to touch a cent of it. After so many years in this profession, he knew better than to carelessly leave himself open to blackmail.

Sun Yan was completely stunned. Her father was waiting for surgery, and she had just offended the lead surgeon. What am I supposed to do now?

"Miss Sun, I advise you to immediately ask for Mr. Chen's forgiveness. There might still be a chance to turn things around," Qian Guomin advised from the side, giving Sun Yan a meaningful glance.

But Sun Yan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, absolutely unwilling to accept such a reality.

Apologize to that piece of trash? She'd rather leave! Absolutely not!

"Chen Zheng..." Wei Zixuan bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "why don't you just help him out?"

"Darling, the man already said he doesn't need our help. Why should we stoop so low as to force our assistance on him?" Chen Zheng sneered, his expression full of mockery.

"Don't you get too cocky, Chen Zheng! What's the big deal?" Sun Yan roared. "You just want me to bow my head, don't you? Well, I'm telling you now, that's absolutely impossible! No matter what happens, I will never bow down to a piece of useless trash like you!"

"Don't think I don't know why Director Qian is so dead set on helping you! This hospital is controlled by the Sun Family. You're just relying on Miss Sun, aren't you?"

At this, Sun Yan recalled the auction and immediately turned to Wei Zixuan.

"Zi Xuan, you haven't forgotten what I told you on the phone, have you? I heard it with my own ears! Miss Sun gave him her car, which is worth over twenty million!"

"Not only that, I saw them drive off together with my own eyes! I'm almost certain your husband is nothing but a piece of useless trash who gets by mooching off women!"

Hearing this, Wei Zixuan frowned deeply.

If her best friend hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten.

The exact nature of Chen Zheng's relationship with Sun Doudou had yet to be explained.

She already harbored some doubts, and bringing it up now only made her feel more uncomfortable.

This had nothing to do with trust; it was a matter of attitude. Isn't that what women care about most of the time?

"Chen Zheng," Sun Yan sneered, her eyes full of provocation. "You're speechless now, aren't you? Did I hit the mark? If you have the guts, get Miss Sun to come over right now, and we can clear things up face-to-face!"

She just wanted to see this guy utterly humiliated. If he and her best friend got a divorce over this, it would be a dream come true.

"Is that so?" a voice suddenly said. "Well, I'm here now. What did you want to say?"
