Chapter 433: Burns and Plastic Surgery

Chapter 433: Burns and Plastic Surgery

“That kid from the Ning family was in a coma for two years.” Su Yi pondered long before continuing, “If the doctor can save even a comatose patient, then it shouldn’t be a problem for your mother.”

The last he heard was that Ning Sinian was not doing too well. A cloud of gloom loomed over the Situ family after the hospital concluded that there was nothing more they could do and that it was time to plan the last rites.

Out of nowhere, a doctor came into the picture and got the kid out of the coma. The Ning family was right smack in the middle among the wealthy and powerful but not to the point of such extensive connections.

“Honey, we should visit them and extend our good wishes. It’d give us the opportunity to ask about the miracle healer.” Li Jingran was touched by a glimmer of hope.

The doctor must be in the business for the money since word of his successful treatment spread like wildfire. Miracle healer or not, it was only a gimmick.

In Li Jingran’s mind, there was no way the doctor would treat the Ning family’s kid for free. If that were the case, the doctor must be the angel of mercy.

“Sure,” Su Yi responded.

The Su family was engaged in business with the Ning family. They were going to visit to extend their well wishes anyway, so there was no harm in asking about the doctor en passant.

Li Jingran made up her mind to find that doctor to get her mother the best care.

Everyone in the capital had their own thoughts and ideas about the reclusive miracle healer.

This was the least of Shen Xi’s concerns. She went to the hospital to check on Ning Sinian after school. She switched up Ning Sinian’s medication and informed his parents that she would no longer be coming over unless an emergency called for it.

Pei Xu drove the car, intending to cruise into her driveway.

Shen Xi was acting suspicious as she glanced at her front door before speaking to Pei Xu in hushed tones, “Drive straight ahead and stop next door.”

Pei Xu could tell what she was up to. However, it did not seem like a good idea to skip home and head to Toffeecito’s dad’s home instead.

This was not a question he should or had the guts to ask.

The car stopped at the entrance.

Holding her backpack, Shen Xi warily scanned her surroundings and got out of the car. She waved Pei Xu off. “Goodbye.”

Unable to bite his tongue, Pei Xu craned his neck out and gave a piece of advice. “You’re a girl. Remember to always protect yourself when you’re alone with a man.”

Shen Xi gleefully acknowledged and without looking back, she hurried to the door and pressed her finger on the fingerprint lock.

Following a beep, she reached out to push the door when the door abruptly opened from the inside.

Shen Xi was taken aback by the presence of a handsome mister. Dressed in casual wear, the man was quite a looker.

Those foxy eyes in particular captured the essence of countless brilliant stars – radiant yet shimmered a gentle glow.

Nevertheless, she could immediately tell by his eyes, face, and the apparent burn scar reaching from his neck to his ear, that that was not the man’s original face. If her guess was right, he must have suffered severe burns and gone through plastic surgery.

While she was sizing up the man, the latter was checking her out too.

The girl was a stunner, especially those animated bug eyes. As their eyes met, she gave him a familiar feeling that sent a blood rush to his core. He was caught in a daze.

It took a while before he grinned. “You must be Xixi. Li Yuan isn’t home yet. Allow me to host you in the meantime. Please come in.”

Shen Xi was blinded too but she followed up with a nod.

She got a comfortable vibe from the handsome mister, even his smile was like the spring breeze that warmed her soul.

With the man here, Shen Xi suddenly felt like a guest, watching as he poured her a drink after he brought her snacks and a fruit platter. He seemed to think of her as a kid.

For some reason, she could not help glancing at him. It might just be because he was good-looking, approachable, or the somewhat familiar feeling she got from him.

The man noticed that the girl could not take her eyes off of him yet did it sneakily, afraid to be discovered. Finding it adorable, he asked with a smile, “Have we met?”

Shen Xi shook her head while obediently fixating her gaze on him.

The man cheerfully added, “You look familiar to me.”

She gave him an indescribably good vibe. It had been a while since anything or anyone could put a smile on his face.

“Me too.” Sharing the same sentiment, Shen Xi bobbed her tiny head. As if to prove her point, she emphasized. “It’s true!”

The mister hummed in acknowledgment and handed her a box of snacks. “I made this myself. Try it.”

Shen Xi took the box and opened it to find dried fruits. There was a variety of dried grapes, strawberries, peaches, apricots, and mangoes. Her eyes lit up and she was filled with happiness after taking a bite out of the dried mango. “It’s delicious. You’re really good at making this.”

The man joyfully broke into a smile. “I’m Jin Yu and a middle-aged man compared to you. Call me an uncle if you don’t mind. Don’t be a stranger.”

There was no need to feel out of place.

“Uncle.” Shen Xi heeded the call.

The mister carried himself with such elegance, defining the word refinement with his every move.

He had a lovely name as well. Jin Yu.

The man was definitely not someone simple.

Li Yuan came home and entered the house to find the pair sitting on the sofa in peace. They were watching TV and saw something that tickled them to break into guffaws together.

Kun Lun was dumbstruck. Goodness, gracious. Was the man watching TV with Ms. Shen really Mr. Jin Yu?

It was unbelievable for him to laugh and out loud at that too. It was plain to see that he was genuinely delighted.

Since the day he knew Mr. Jin Yu, Kun Lun had never seen him so happy.

Mr. Jin Yu was knowledgeable, cultured, right-minded, and kind. He was the true gentleman among the aristocrats, but his smile never came from his heart.

“Brother!” Shen Xi jolted up and cried. She was conscious not to be too loud, afraid her parents might hear her but not too soft so Li Yuan could hear her.

Shen Xi might think she struck the right balance in volume. Alas, she was still discovered. Toffeecito jumped onto the wall and meowed before stealthily climbing down the cat tree.

It was getting pretty good at climbing up and down the wall lately. It only took a second for Toffeecito to reach Li Yuan.
