Chapter 59: Unfortunate Tutorship
Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang contemplatively. The girl remained unmoved.
Yu Zhongjing looked at the two of them. Light flashed in his perceptive eyes.
Seeing that he was still being carried, he said irritably, “Let me down, you fools! I’m already here! Why are you still carrying me?”
The bodyguard looked to Lu Chengzhou to seek his approval. He nodded. The bodyguard put down Yu Zhongjing and went out respectfully. Planting his feet on the ground, Yu Zhongjing felt at ease.
He adjusted his clothes, but he still couldn’t help but turn to look at Gu Mang. The girl looked up, her eyes feral and savage, giving off a chilly aura.
Yu Zhongjing’s heart quivered and he dared not glance at her again. He turned to look at the bed. Seeing the old grandmother’s face, he was startled. “The last time I came to visit, she didn’t look this bad.”
He quickly walked over and he opened the old grandmother’s eyes to have a look.
“I prescribed her some Chinese medicine which would have cured her. But someone used Western medicine on her instead. The damage to her Qi is severe,” Gu Mang said slowly.
Hearing that, he glanced at Gu Mang again, but only for a very short moment before averting his gaze.
He picked up the X-ray image on the bed cabinet and checked the various medical data.
Three minutes later, he said, “I have no choice but to perform a craniotomy. But the old lady is of advanced age. The operation will be very dangerous. There’s only a fifty percent chance of success.”
Lu Chengzhou looked to Gu Mang, “How confident are you?”
Gu Mang rolled her eyes.
Facing each other, the man’s eyes were filled with deep trust.
“Sixty percent.” She didn’t lie to him.
Lu Chengzhou’s thin lips were slightly pursed. He spoke up politely, “Uncle Yu, please work with Gu Mang and perform the surgery on my grandmother.”
Yu Zhongjing snorted as if he were greatly humiliated. “Lu Chengzhou! Who do you think I am! Who am I? Yu Zhongjing! The leading brain expert! You’re telling me to work with this little girl! How condescending!”
“I’ll invest 50 million in the project you are working on.” The man said in a low voice.
“Deal!” Yu Zhongjing did not hesitate as he laughed. “I wouldn’t have guessed that you were actually quite generous.”
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes were clear and cold.
…
The nurse at Lu residence immediately pushed the old grandmother into the operating theater. A group of people followed.
When Gu Mang walked past Yu Zhongjing, she smirked and said in a whisper, “Pretty good acting. You even got 50 million out of it.”
Yu Zhongjing carefully touched his moustache.
Thinking of the old grandmother’s condition, his expression became serious. “Was it Lu Xiwei who messed it up?”
Gu Mang raised an eyebrow and said mildly, “The good student of yours?”
“Why do you blame me? She came under my tutorship because she got the highest score. She had the qualifications. How could I have expected that she would turn out to be ill-intentioned!” Yu Zhongjing sighed repeatedly. “What misfortune.”
Gu Mang said nothing.
“But putting aside this matter, this operation is very tricky,” Yu Zhongjing said with a headache. “She’s too old. If something happens, I would be offending the entire Lu Family. The Yu Family forbade me from intervening in this matter. If not for Lu Chengzhou bringing me here, I wouldn’t have come!”
Gu Mang pursed her lips. Her jet-black eyes were solemn as she said in a low voice, “Keep the old lady alive.”
Yu Zhongjing nodded. After putting on the blue surgical gown in the disinfection room, the two entered the operating theater.
