In the private room, Chi Xiao finished injecting You Wen and she put the needle back into the needle bag. Then, she looked at You Wen’s expression.

Seeing that it was much better, she said, “The poison in your body is under control. Don’t forget what you promised me.”

You Wen felt the gradually rising strength in his body. He also started breathing comfortably for a while before saying, “The legendary doctor is indeed a legendary doctor. Your medical skills are amazing.”

There was no mention of the promise at all.

Chi Xiao’s hand that was withdrawing the needle paused. Then, she glanced at You Wen with a smile that was not a smile.

It was just a light glance, but it actually made You Wen feel a chill in his body. He heard Chi Xiao actually laugh softly. “Since you also said that I’m a legendary doctor, then you should be very clear.”

Chi Xiao suddenly stepped forward and was very close to You Wen’s ear. As she spoke, she exhaled and actually gave You Wen goosebumps. “If I can cure you, I can naturally make your life worse than death.”

After saying that, she stood up again and looked down at You Wen who was still lying on the sofa. “Don’t worry, I will let you live for a very, very long time. You will definitely not die halfway through. Trust my medical skills.”

Unknowingly, You Wen was covered in cold sweat.

He sat up and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead to hide the uneasiness in his heart. “Of, of course I remember. You are overthinking. I will definitely not forget about the promise.”

Chi Xiao calmly sat down on the other side. “That’s more like it. Tell me, what are you thinking of doing next?”

If it wasn’t because he knew about the rumors about Gui Jianchou, You Wen would have even suspected that the person who poisoned him was Gui Jianchou herself.

Three days ago, he was still suffering from the torment of his illness. He prayed to the gods and asked the Buddha, because the medicine didn’t care about him. His heart was filled with despair.

After contacting Gui Jianchou, she only had one request for him. That was to cooperate with the Mo family’s Mo Ting and work together to strengthen the Mo Ting influence in the Mo family.

You Wen thought that it was strange. Mo Ting already had the greatest power and was the heir of the Mo family. Why would he need his help?

However, in order to cure his illness, You Wen didn’t care about anything else and agreed to Gui Jianchou’s request in an instant.

However, what rules did he have in his heart?

Now that he was suddenly asked this question, You Wen only felt a headache. How was he going to answer this?

Seeing this, Chi Xiao didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled gently and said, “Since you’re not going back on your word, that’s great. I don’t need you to do anything special. Instead of working with the fourth uncle from the Mo family, you just need to change to working with one of Mo Ting’s subordinates.”

It was that simple?

You Wen did not believe it.

The You family and the Mo family did have business dealings. He was used to working with Fourth Uncle Mo, but if it’s just working with a different person from the Mo family, who wouldn’t do it?

You Wen agreed without hesitation. In his heart, he vaguely understood Chi Xiao’s meaning.

There were probably internal problems within the Mo family . If he did not work with Fourth Uncle Mo anymore, it would be equivalent to weakening Fourth Uncle Mo’s authority in the Mo family. Why did the legendary doctor do this? It was said that Mo Ting also suffered from a terminal illness?

With this thought in mind, You Wen looked at Chi Xiao with an assessing gaze. In his heart, he repeatedly wondered if the legendary doctor, Gui Jianchou, had something to do with Mo Ting? Otherwise, why would she go to so much trouble to help Mo Ting?

Once some thoughts appeared, it was as if they had taken root and sprouted in his heart. No matter how hard he tried, he could not remove them.

Chi Xiao only looked coldly at You Wen. After a moment, she laughed softly. “It’s good that you know what to do. It’s not like I saved you for nothing.”

After saying that, she pushed open the door and left.

The person guarding the door was Xiao Ya.

However, at this moment, Xiao Ya no longer dared to belittle Chi Xiao. After meeting Chi Xiao face to face, her mindless speech just now instantly came to her mind. After pausing for a moment, Xiao Ya forced out a smile, “Legendary doctor, I’m really sorry about what happened just now. I’m just someone who sometimes talks too fast.”

Chi Xiao looked at Xiao Ya and laughed after a while. “You’re very smart. It’s not like you can’t make a name for yourself by relying on yourself.”

After saying that, while Xiao Ya was still in a daze, she leaned over and asked Xiao Ya, “Why do you have to place all your hopes on a man?”

After saying that, she walked away. By the time Xiao Ya reacted, Chi Xiao was already nowhere to be seen in the corridor. Xiao Ya’s expression changed for a while before it finally froze on a determined expression.

If she… if she worked hard, would she one day be like the legendary doctor? Would she be able to gain everyone’s respect just by relying on herself?

Would she be able to live as she pleased?

As she was thinking about it, You Wen called out her name. After Xiao Ya entered the room, You Wen seemed to have forgotten his cold expression towards Xiao Ya. He reached out and held Xiao Ya’s hand, he said affectionately, “You have always been affectionate towards me. I can see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart. Xiao Ya, are you willing to give me a chance to take good care of you in the future?”

If it was in the past, Xiao Ya would naturally be happy to agree. However, for some reason, the legendary doctor’s words just now kept ringing in her ears. In the end, she actually rejected You Wen..
