Qiu Dan smiled and stood up, "Dr. Shen, hello. It's a pleasure to meet you."
However, the look in her eyes was filled with complex emotions.
When Liao Jing first came to their hospital, she had learned from gossip that he had been set up by someone else.
She had heard some of the specific reasons, saying that he was pursuing a doctor from abroad and was suppressed by her backer, which forced him to flee to their hospital.
It seemed likely that the female doctor was the one in front of her. But seeing her plain appearance, Qiu Dan felt a little more at ease, thinking that Liao Jing was merely being polite as a colleague.
"Hello. A pleasure to meet you. Liao Jing mentioned you when I was at the hospital last time. When can I attend your wedding banquet?" Shen Xi also quickly stood up and nodded slightly at her.
Hearing Shen Xi say this, Qiu Dan felt a little embarrassed. The lingering worries in her heart vanished with her words.
She looked up at Liao Jing beside her, unsure how to respond. At that moment, she saw the man look at her with doting affection, quietly take her hand, and look at everyone.
"It should be soon. When that time comes, I'll be inviting everyone present."
Upon hearing this, everyone offered them blessings.
Afterward, they continued to eat and chat. Shen Xi sat with Teacher Ge, discussing many topics related to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Shen Xi felt a strong connection with Teacher Ge and found herself sharing her work plans with her.
When Teacher Ge heard that she had opened a pharmacy that also offered acupuncture, and had her own pharmaceutical company, she praised her greatly.
She said that young people should have such courage, to step out of their comfort zones and forge their own paths in the outside world, to promote TCM and benefit more people.
The two chatted happily and exchanged phone numbers. Teacher Ge said that if Shen Xi ever needed help in TCM in the future, she could contact her directly.
In another private room on the same floor, Yin Zhe was surrounded by several people, urging him to drink the glass of wine in front of him.
It was Jiang Ming's birthday today, and more than a dozen people were present to celebrate with him. Yin Zhe knew some of them, while others were strangers.
Qin Siyu was among them.
"Yin Zhe, didn't you just say your heart condition was cured? Drinking a couple more glasses won't hurt." Sun Bo, standing beside him, extended the wine glass to him again.
Yin Zhe waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I've already had quite a bit to drink, I really can't have any more."
He remembered Shen Xi's words when he left, and the doctor's advice after his surgery abroad, that even if the surgery was successful, he should drink less alcohol.
Sun Bo smiled at him, "Yin Zhe, that's not very friendly of you. I was watching you just now, you were barely sipping, you haven't drunk much at all.
Back then, you left K City without a word, and we brothers were worried sick about you. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Today, everyone is happy to see you back safe and sound. You should at least have a few more drinks to express your gratitude, so our concern wasn't in vain.
Jiang Ming, you're the birthday boy today, you have the final say, what do you think?"
Jiang Ming, sitting in the main seat, slowly stood up. Looking at Yin Zhe's flushed face, he softened, "I think we should let it go. Although Yin Zhe has had surgery, he's still not the same as a normal person. Don't pressure him."
At this moment, Qin Siyu, sitting beside him, glared at Jiang Ming with displeasure and said in a cold voice, "Jiang Ming, we don't like what you're saying.
What do you mean by pressuring him? We're all doing this to liven things up for you. How is it our fault?"
These past few days, he had sent people to investigate and learned that Yin Zhe had fainted at his doorstep due to family upheaval back then, and the person who saved him was none other than Qin Si Ye.
Furthermore, Qin Si Ye had spent a fortune to find the best doctors internationally to perform surgery on him and sponsored his education.
Yin Xi had only known him for a short time before something happened. Yet, he was so good to her brother, while he himself, his own half-brother, was constantly looked down upon, as if they were enemies.
Thinking of this, the fire of jealousy in Qin Siyu's heart raged uncontrollably.
He wanted to see today how much alcohol the operated heart could withstand.
"Si Yu, I didn't mean it like that, I was just worried..." Jiang Ming sat down, but before he could finish, a "blond" interjected.
"Jiang Ming, why do I find you so unmanly today? We're just drinking a few glasses of wine, what could possibly happen? I think you're worrying unnecessarily."
The blond took the wine glass from Sun Bo and handed it to Yin Zhe, "Yin Zhe, if you don't drink this glass today, it means you don't respect us brothers."
