The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: A Pure Healer

Housekeeper Zuo was clearly taken aback. Cheng Yuan was far too young. ’How could he possibly be a Divine Doctor?’

A flash of well-hidden disappointment crossed Housekeeper Zuo’s eyes. ’Miss Xiao is so unreliable, recommending a kid who’s still wet behind the ears to treat the Young Miss of the He Family.’

However, Housekeeper Zuo was highly professional and didn’t let his skepticism toward Cheng Yuan show.

”Miss Hu, Little Divine Doctor, please get in the car.”

...

In the heart of the Houhai area stood several grand siheyuan, each with three successive courtyards.

During the Qing Dynasty, these courtyard manors were the residences of the most favored princes and ministers.

One can only imagine how distinguished the families living in them now were.

The Mercedes-Benz van pulled up to the entrance of one of these siheyuan.

Housekeeper Zuo got out, opened the door, and said politely, ”Miss Hu, Little Divine Doctor, please step out.”

Cheng Yuan and Hu Shishi gave Housekeeper Zuo a slight nod and got out of the car as requested.

Cheng Yuan subconsciously glanced around and saw a siheyuan with a quaint, antique charm.

The courtyard complex was vast, certainly no smaller than a basketball court.

The courtyard walls were thick and solid, with an air of classic simplicity.

Two massive stone lions flanked the entrance, giving it a majestic air.

The two vermilion gates were a full five meters wide. High above them hung a gilded plaque inscribed with two flamboyant words: He Mansion!

Cheng Yuan and Hu Shishi were both slightly taken aback. ’Surely it can’t be such a coincidence?’

’What a small world.’

To confirm his suspicion, Cheng Yuan asked in a calm voice, ”Housekeeper Zuo, may I ask if He Zhendong is the eldest young master of your He Mansion?”

Upon hearing He Zhendong’s name, Housekeeper Zuo instinctively bowed slightly, a gesture of respect even when the young master wasn’t present.

”Yes, Little Divine Doctor. Do you know the eldest young master?”

”You could say that,” Cheng Yuan said with a wry smile. ’It’s a small world for enemies, isn’t it!’

Seeing the odd look on Cheng Yuan’s face, Hu Shishi quickly explained, ”Xiaoyuan, Xiao Xun’Er didn’t tell me the patient was the young miss of the He Family. I’ll call Xiao Xun’Er right now and cancel the appointment.”

Cheng Yuan quickly stopped Hu Shishi. ”Sister Shishi, the patient is innocent. I’m a doctor. Saving people is my duty. I can’t let personal matters affect a patient’s treatment.”

Hu Shishi gave Cheng Yuan a long, deep look. ’I really didn’t misjudge him!’

’Xiaoyuan is a true healer!’

”I understand.”

Cheng Yuan turned to Housekeeper Zuo and said calmly, ”Housekeeper Zuo, please lead the way. I’m on a tight schedule. I’d like to see your young miss as soon as possible.”

Housekeeper Zuo’s eyes flickered.

’What’s going on?’

’Could the eldest young master’s injury have something to do with Little Divine Doctor Cheng?’

’That must be it! The eldest young master and Little Divine Doctor Cheng were on the same flight!’

Ordinarily, since Cheng Yuan was recommended by Xiao Xun’Er, Housekeeper Zuo should have taken him directly to see He Jing. But now, Housekeeper Zuo had a change of heart.

Housekeeper Zuo said with a smile, ”Of course. I will announce your arrival.”

With that, Housekeeper Zuo took out his phone and made a call to an internal line.

After finishing his report, Housekeeper Zuo said with a somewhat troubled expression, ”Little Divine Doctor Cheng, my sincerest apologies, but another Divine Doctor is currently examining the young miss. Would you mind waiting for a moment? We will call for you as soon as that Divine Doctor has finished his diagnosis.”

Cheng Yuan didn’t think much of it. He had waited for quite some time when he went to treat Old Master Hu, as well.

Miss He’s status was far above Old Master Hu’s, so it was only natural for there to be a queue of Divine Doctors.

Hu Shishi, however, was displeased. ”Housekeeper Zuo, Xiao Xun’Er was the one who introduced us. Why do we have to wait in line? Should I give Xiao Xun’Er a call and tell her that we have to queue up just to see He Jing?”

Housekeeper Zuo’s expression changed. Miss Xiao was the third young miss of the Ancient Martial Xiao Family. Even the masters of the He Family had to show her respect. If she found out the Divine Doctor she invited had to wait in line, she would definitely be furious.

”Miss Hu, please calm down. Normally, there are eight other Divine Doctors ahead of you. I’ll let Little Divine Doctor Cheng cut the line. Once Divine Doctor Xue is finished, Little Divine Doctor Cheng will be next. How does that sound?”

Hu Shishi’s expression softened slightly. ”That’s more like it. We have to attend the Herbal Medicine Exchange Conference tonight, so don’t waste our time.”

”Understood! Understood!”

Cheng Yuan raised an eyebrow. ’It really is a small world. I wonder if this Divine Doctor Xue is an old acquaintance?’

Led by Housekeeper Zuo, Cheng Yuan and Hu Shishi entered a waiting room.

Housekeeper Zuo personally poured tea for them and had some snacks meticulously prepared.

”Little Divine Doctor Cheng, Miss Hu, please wait here for a moment. I’m going to check on the young miss’s situation.”

”Go ahead.”

Housekeeper Zuo wasn’t lying. He did intend to check on He Jing’s condition. Of course, tipping off the eldest young master was just something he’d do along the way.

Housekeeper Zuo dialed He Zhendong’s number. The call connected quickly, and He Zhendong’s impatient voice came through, ”Housekeeper Zuo, I’m in a bad mood right now. You’d better make it quick.”

The corners of Housekeeper Zuo’s mouth curled up slightly. ’I bet correctly. It seems the young master really did have an unpleasant run-in with Little Divine Doctor Cheng.’

”Eldest Young Master, the person who injured you has come to the He Family. He’s currently in the reception room.”

The voice on the other end of the line suddenly turned ice-cold. ”Housekeeper Zuo, are you serious? Cheng Yuan came to our He Family? Does he have a death wish?”

”I don’t know if his name is Cheng Yuan, but his female companion is Hu Shishi from Dongshan Province.”

”HAHAHA! That bastard Cheng is courting death! How dare he come to our He Family! This time next year will be the anniversary of his death!!”

In the He Family’s central courtyard.

He Zhendong’s fracture had been treated and stitched up. After receiving Housekeeper Zuo’s report, He Zhendong immediately summoned the He Family’s Guard Team and stormed toward the reception room!

...

「He Family’s Inner Courtyard.」

He Jing lay quietly in bed. Elder He sat by her side, his face filled with heartache as he watched his unconscious granddaughter.

The He Family had an abundance of sons but a scarcity of daughters, and He Jing was Elder He’s only granddaughter. He treasured her dearly. Seeing her in this deep, unending sleep was breaking his heart.

Divine Doctor Xue furrowed his brow, concentrating as he took her pulse.

After a long while, Divine Doctor Xue opened his eyes.

Elder He asked impatiently, ”Divine Doctor Xue, how is she? Can my granddaughter be saved?”

Divine Doctor Xue didn’t answer. Instead, he turned and glanced at the others in the room.

Elder He said in a deep voice, ”Divine Doctor Xue, everyone here is a core member of the He Family. We are all family. Please speak freely.”

Divine Doctor Xue nodded and said gravely, ”Elder He, the reason Miss He has yet to awaken is not because of brain damage, nor is it due to a blood clot compressing a cranial nerve. It’s because she has been afflicted by a Yin Curse.”

”A Yin Curse?”

Everyone shot him displeased looks. ’It’s the twenty-first century,’ they thought. ’What kind of nonsense is this Divine Doctor Xue talking about?’

However, with the old master present, no one dared to voice their objections.

He Jing’s father, He Hongting, chose his words carefully. ”Divine Doctor Xue, could you be mistaken? Our He Family resides beside the Imperial City, protected by Dragon Qi. We are impervious to all evil. How could Xiaojing possibly be afflicted by a Yin Curse?”

Divine Doctor Xue remained completely calm and replied in a serious tone, ”It is precisely because the Dragon Qi is suppressing it that the Yin Curse hasn’t fully erupted. Otherwise, Miss He would already be a Yin Corpse by now. If you don’t believe me, I ask Elder He to temporarily seal this room and block out the protection of the Dragon Qi.”
