Wen Shiyu hurriedly walked out of the monitoring room to look for the female nurse.
Passing the corner of the corridor, he saw the female nurse enter the restroom.
He rubbed his hands together, waiting outside the restroom door looking a bit nervous.
After waiting for about five minutes, he saw the female nurse walk out.
He did not dare to look her directly in the eyes. Lowering his head slightly, he spoke with a pious and humble tone, "Hello, Divine Doctor. I am Su Mu's superior, Wen Shiyu. I know that the success of Su Guixian's surgery was entirely your doing. I... I want to take you as my master!"
Wen Shiyu had never felt as nervous and apprehensive as he did now.
He wanted to become a true divine doctor so badly!
Wen Shiyu didn't look up, but he could feel the female divine doctor's gaze land lightly on him.
He swallowed uncontrollably, his heart beating faster than ever before.
It was Wen Yan's first time seeing Wen Shiyu act so subserviently. In the past, he had always been arrogant and cold in front of the original owner of her body, bullying her quite a lot.
Wen Yan coldly twitched the corners of her lips.
She lowered her voice, pretending to sound hoarse, "Not just anyone can take me as their master. You need to show your sincerity."
Wen Shiyu's heart trembled slightly.
Her asking him to show sincerity meant he had a chance to become her apprentice.
Wen Shiyu pressed his palms together and bowed ninety degrees, "Divine Doctor, I... as long as you are willing to take me as your apprentice, I am willing to do anything."
Wen Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Is that so? Then kneel down and kowtow to me three times first."
What?
She wanted him to kneel and kowtow to her?
A man has gold beneath his knees; he kneels to the heavens, the earth, and his parents, but he cannot kneel to an outsider.
However, if it was his master, what harm was there in kneeling?
After comforting himself like this, Wen Shiyu no longer hesitated. With a thud, he fell to his knees.
Si Moyan and the Si family came over to look for Wen Yan, and happened to see the scene of Wen Shiyu kneeling before her.
Just as Si Jingyi was about to speak, Si Moyan raised his index finger and made a hushing gesture at him.
Wen Shiyu very sincerely kowtowed three times to Wen Yan, "Divine Doctor, can you take me as your apprentice now? My talent is stronger than Su Mu's, I promise I won't let you down!"
Looking at Wen Shiyu, who was constantly elevating himself while belittling others, Wen Yan felt a wave of contempt in her heart.
She wouldn't accept him as an apprentice even if she were to take a dog instead!
But how could she easily let go of such a good opportunity to tease and punish him?
"I will be wandering the world in the future, so I cannot take a chief doctor who works in a hospital as an apprentice."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wen Shiyu immediately said, "That's easy to handle. I can resign and follow my master to wander the world."
As long as he learned her skills and became a true divine doctor, he could open a private hospital himself.
Wen Yan saw right through Wen Shiyu's petty thoughts at a glance.
She threw a piece of paper at his feet. "After you've handled your affairs, come find me here."
Wen Shiyu glanced at the address on the note.
It was a deep, old forest in the mountains.
Wen Shiyu was overjoyed.
Generally, divine doctors with incredible medical skills lived in such remote places.
It seemed she had decided to take him as her apprentice.
After the divine doctor left, Wen Shiyu got up from the ground, found the hospital director, and submitted his resignation letter.
The director looked confused, "Shiyu, you have a bright future ahead of you. Although you didn't successfully perform Su Guixian's surgery, Su Mu completed it for you. It was a false alarm, there's no need for you to resign taking the blame."
Su Mu happened to walk by and heard the director's words. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
The director only favored Wen Shiyu now. Even though he had caused a major surgical accident, the director didn't criticize him at all.
Su Mu also handed in a resignation letter.
Miss Wen had already agreed with him that she would invest in opening a private hospital and let him be the vice director.
Miss Wen's medical skills tonight were top-tier on a global scale.
With her opening a hospital, him working for her, and also being able to learn medical skills from her, he absolutely could not miss such a great opportunity!
However, to his surprise, Wen Shiyu was also resigning!
"Shiyu, think about it again."
The director only accepted Su Mu's resignation letter. He didn't think Su Mu could have better development after leaving this hospital.
Wen Shiyu had already made up his mind. He forcefully shoved the resignation letter into the director's hands.
Returning to the office, Wen Shiyu looked at Su Mu with an arrogant expression, "That divine doctor who guided you through the surgery has already decided to take me as her apprentice. Su Mu, you will never be able to surpass me!"
Su Mu was slightly startled.
Miss Wen agreed to take Wen Shiyu as her apprentice?
...
"Hahaha, Sister-in-law, you're amazing. If Wen Shiyu knew that you were the divine doctor he knelt and kowtowed to, he would probably spit blood!" Si Jingyi laughed so hard tears were about to burst out.
Old Master Si nodded vigorously, "Exactly, exactly! Wen Shiyu daring to go against your sister-in-law is like a lapdog barking at the moon—not knowing his own limits."
The five-hour surgery left Wen Yan a bit exhausted. She leaned on Si Moyan's shoulder, letting him massage her wrists.
"Mrs. Si, you plan to open a private hospital?" Si Moyan asked in a low voice.
Wen Yan nodded.
Originally, she hadn't planned to start her career so quickly, but after seeing a harmful quack doctor like Wen Shiyu, she decided to do something beneficial for society.
At the very least, she could help those who were suffering from severe illnesses and feeling desperate.
"I'll invest in you."
As soon as Si Moyan finished speaking, Old Master Si and Si Jingyi both raised their hands, eagerly offering to invest in Wen Yan.
Wen Yan shook her head, "No need. I have quite a bit of money on hand right now and am not lacking start-up capital. If I need anything, I'll ask for your help."
Wen Yan had classes the next morning, so she had the driver take the car to the entrance of the film academy.
Si Moyan said softly, "You're so tired tonight. Go home and take a bath, and I'll drop you off tomorrow morning."
Wen Yan shook her head, "I have a class tomorrow morning. If I rest at school, I can sleep a bit longer."
Si Moyan didn't force her. He called the hotel to deliver midnight snacks to the school gates. "Take these and share them with your roommates."
Old Master Si was currently the academy's library administrator, and the school had arranged a separate dormitory for him.
"I'm not comfortable letting my eldest grandson's wife go in alone. I'll escort her and then stay in my dorm. You guys don't need to worry about me."
Si Moyan and Si Jingyi looked at Old Master Si, who was able to enter the school late at night, with envious expressions.
They really wanted to be her protective escorts too!
Old Master Si escorted Wen Yan to the bottom of the girls' dormitory building. Wen Yan smiled and waved at him, "Grandpa, it's getting late. You should hurry back and rest too!"
Old Master Si waved his hand, "You go in first."
Only after Wen Yan entered the girls' dormitory did Old Master Si leave.
Click, click. Someone secretly took photos of that scene with their phone.
The next day.
When Wen Yan woke up, she noticed that her roommates were looking at her strangely.
[What's wrong? Could it be that I have so much sleep crust that it's glued my eyes shut?]
Wen Yan quickly touched the corners of her eyes and found no sleep crust.
One of the roommates glared at her contemptuously. "Shameless!"
After saying that, she linked arms with another roommate and quickly left the dorm.
Wen Yan looked at Jiang Shuyu, her roommate on the opposite bed, "Did I offend them?"
Jiang Shuyu looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Wen Yan pursed her lips, "If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Jiang Shuyu sighed, "You had better get up and go take a look at the bulletin board!"
After quickly washing up, Wen Yan headed to the bulletin board with Jiang Shuyu.
A crowd of young men and women had gathered there, discussing something with looks of sheer disdain on their faces.
Wen Yan pushed her way through the crowd and took a closer look, nearly bursting into laughter.
Seeing Wen Yan holding back her laughter, Jiang Shuyu really could not understand her. "Wen Yan, everyone is talking about you being a sugar baby kept by this old man. It is having a really bad impact right now."
The photos posted on the bulletin board captured an incredibly ambiguous atmosphere between Wen Yan and Old Master Si.
Due to the camera angles, there were shots of her walking shoulder to shoulder with Old Master Si, and others of her seemingly looking at him affectionately and bidding him a reluctant farewell.
Wen Yan felt goosebumps all over her body.
Si Jingyi had brought some actors to the campus for a shoot that morning. When he heard people discussing Wen Yan being someone's sugar baby, he immediately called Old Master Si to the bulletin board. He wanted to see who was audacious enough to slander his sister-in-law, and he also wanted to see who this fabricated lover was.
Upon seeing the photos, Si Jingyi's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
"G-G-Grandpa... the secret lover in the photos is actually you?"
Old Master Si's white beard twitched upward. "Well now, to think an old man like me can still be involved in a scandal. I must be quite charming."
Si Jingyi's mouth twitched. "What was the person who secretly took these photos thinking? Sister-in-law is as beautiful as a flower. No matter what, she would not be with an old man. It would be far more believable if the rumor was about me! Yet these college students actually fell for it. This is beyond ridiculous."
Old Master Si smacked the back of Si Jingyi's head. "Is your grandpa really that bad? A few days ago when I was working at the library, someone even asked for my WeChat!"
Si Jingyi mercilessly exposed him. "Yeah, yeah, a sixty-year-old cleaning lady. You can only charm the likes of Blooming Wealth and Thorny Rose."
Old Master Si snorted, "There was also Happy Every Day and Having You In My Life."
Seeing Old Master Si and Si Jingyi, Wen Yan walked over to them.
Jiang Shuyu followed behind Wen Yan. When she saw the male lead of the scandal in person, her eyelids twitched. "Wen Yan, how do you still have the nerve to meet him?"
The other onlookers all turned to look in their direction.
"Wen Yan's old sugar daddy is here. He looks a bit familiar, like some famous big shot in Ye City."
"I am seriously going to throw up. No matter how powerful a big shot he is, he is old enough to be Wen Yan's grandfather. How can she stomach that?"
"Well, he has money. With that kind of immense wealth, how could a gold digger resist?"
All sorts of sarcastic and mocking remarks surged forward like a tide.
Wen Yan furrowed her brows, looking completely innocent. "Do not be ridiculous. This is my husband's grandfather."
"What do you mean, husband's grandfather? I think he is both your husband and your grandfather. Wen Yan, you play really wild."
"An old sugar daddy is an old sugar daddy. He sent you back to the dorms in the dead of night, and you two parted with such loving looks. Anyone with eyes can tell you have an improper relationship."
Old Master Si and Si Jingyi were both holding their phones. One was sending a message to Si Moyan, and the other was recording a video to gather evidence so they could send out legal letters later.
When Si Moyan received Old Master Si's message, he had just arrived at the campus gates to deliver breakfast to Wen Yan.
Learning that photos of Wen Yan and Old Master Si had been posted on the bulletin board, he strode over.
"Mrs. Si, I am here."
A deep, magnetic voice suddenly rang out from not far away.
