Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2400: 2336: It's Best to Check Carefully
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Indeed, should a condition arise that proves untreatable elsewhere, an application to transfer here could be made, though such a step remains entirely redundant, right?
After all, this is merely a routine examination.
Liu Guoying sealed his lips in silence, allowing Chiang Xiao to guide him by the arm as they proceeded directly into the facility.
Only arriving at this place could ease her worries even slightly.
It simply had to be this hospital.
By now, she had grown acquainted with the hospital director, various department heads, and numerous physicians on staff. Connections formed during Old Master Jiang's stay here, deepening further when Ah Liu underwent his operation.
Furthermore, the director and heads were well aware of her ties to Li Hanzhong.
Back then, Li Hanzhong had instructed them explicitly to heed her directives no matter the circumstances.
The key advantage lay in her knowledge of which staff members aligned with Li Hanzhong and could be trusted to keep matters confidential.
Without that certainty, she would have hesitated to seek care here for the check-up.
Unclear were the extents of Second Master's influence or the networks he commanded.
His bold actions suggested powerful support, leaving her anxious that any trail might trace back to Li Hanzhong.
Thus, utmost caution proved essential in all dealings.
“Checking here offers the greatest peace of mind, doesn't it? Teacher, remember my father's procedure happened right in this very hospital?”
“I notice plenty of Alliance Officers around too— is it truly fine for you to escort me in so casually?”
“What could possibly be wrong with that?”
A sudden insight struck Chiang Xiao: Liu Guoying likely remained unaware of her actual background.
Silence weighed on her for a moment.
It seemed a suitable chance to reveal the truth must be seized soon.
Though Liu Guoying understood Ah Liu hailed from the D State Jiang Family, the clan boasted numerous members; he hadn't yet linked her to Li Hanzhong.
Once inside, Chiang Xiao escorted him straight to the director's office.
No prior reservation had been set, yet the director happened to be present.
Spotting her, he rose in mild astonishment and inquired, “Miss Jiang, what brings you here? Any concerns?”
Her unexpected visit stirred a flutter of alarm in his chest.
As the first to address her as Miss Jiang rather than Miss Chiang, he consistently used that name.
Despite his elevated role, overseeing Old Master Jiang's and Sixth Young Master Jiang's treatments involved figures of immense stature, demanding his unwavering vigilance.
Their successful discharges had lifted a tremendous burden from him.
He fervently hoped no new troubles had emerged.
Chiang Xiao hastened to reassure, “Nothing like that, Director. I need to ask a favor of you.”
“Name it—anything at all, just tell me.”
Liu Guoying watched in stunned silence as Chiang Xiao conversed with the director.
Did the Jiang Family wield such immense sway?
The director displayed remarkable deference toward this young woman?
Chiang Xiao introduced, “Allow me to present my teacher, Liu Guoying.”
“Master Liu, your reputation precedes you.” The director approached and extended a handshake to Liu Guoying.
His familiarity with Liu Guoying stemmed from their general knowledge of Chiang Xiao's circumstances, including her status as a celebrated artist and academy student under the guidance of the prominent art world personality Liu Guoying.
Hence, his words carried genuine respect.
“Greetings, Director. Apologies for the imposition.” Liu Guoying inwardly itched to shoot Chiang Xiao a reproachful look.
Wasn't this imposing quite the burden on the man?
A simple exam, yet she insisted on involving the director personally?
Should all prove normal, it might come off as laughable.
“No imposition whatsoever. What's on your mind, Miss Jiang? Speak freely.”
