Chapter 7: Father-in-law

You!" Su Zhiyuan immediately raised his palm, seemingly about to slap his daughter. However, considering that they were in a hospital and that the young man before him was in no position to save his wife, he could only treat it as a joke. He forcefully swung his hand and scolded, "You are truly becoming more and more unreasonable"

Upon hearing the other party mention himself, Ye Wutian quickly introduced himself: "Respected father-in-law, my surname is Ye, my given name is Wutian, and my stage name is Handsome Pot. It is a pleasure to meet you, and I look forward to your guidance." After all, this was his first meeting with his father-in-law, so Ye Wutian naturally had to be a bit more humble. However, during his self-introduction, his gaze remained fixed on the face of the nurse.

Su Mengli remained silent, perhaps tacitly agreeing with her father's intentions. With tear-filled eyes, she looked at Ye Wutian, her gaze devoid of any glimmer of hope. Perhaps she merely wished to use this treatment to finally let go of her lingering feelings.

Jiangling Central Hospital is a comprehensive tertiary Class A hospital that integrates medical care, teaching, research, prevention, and social health services. As the largest municipal hospital in the city, it enjoys a strong reputation and coverage throughout Cangnan Province due to its high-quality medical standards, advanced hardware facilities, and people-oriented service philosophy. Every day, a continuous stream of patients comes for treatment.

"Is this true?" Ye Wutian confirmed once again

"Hehe, interesting," Ye Wutian thought to himself. From her simple gesture, he could preliminarily conclude that she belonged to a moderate personality type, neither shy nor exuberant, neither childish nor mature, yet with a hint of playfulness, which somewhat resembled that of Wang Qiaoqiao.

Su Mengli's eyes were filled with tears as she argued aggrievedly: "At least I have been working hard for Mom's illness, but what about you? Over the years, what have you done for Mom? You haven't even come to the hospital a few times. Perhaps in your heart, you have long since forgotten about Mom. Do you have the right to criticize me?"

Clearly, this middle-aged man is Su Mengli's father, Su Zhiyuan, and the elderly doctor beside him is the hospital's director, Jiang Senhui. This individual holds a series of impressive titles, including chief physician, professor, and doctoral advisor, and also serves as the director of several hospitals in the city. Furthermore, he is an expert in the provincial medical team and the chairman of the provincial medical association's neurosurgery division, having made remarkable achievements in the diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgical diseases

"Whom do you refer to as your father-in-law? This is truly inappropriate." Su Zhiyuan said angrily, his face gray.

Su Mengli did not say anything further, but her expression remained as stubborn as ever. Perhaps sensing the hint of resentment in her daughter's eyes, Su Zhiyuan finally softened his heart. After taking a deep breath, he maintained a stern face and said firmly: "This is the last time. Starting tomorrow, you will stay at home obediently until you are engaged to Zheng Jian." It was evident that Su Zhiyuan did not believe his wife had any hope of recovery, and his allowance for his daughter this time was merely to help her let go.

Ye Wutian followed the two women to the 13th floor of the inpatient department, arriving at the entrance of a special care ward

Su Mengli certainly did not expect that Ye Wutian would dare to be so rude in front of her father. However, since the words had already been spoken, Su Mengli no longer concealed her feelings. She looked at her father with determination and said seriously: "Dad, I have already promised him that as long as he can cure my mother, I will dedicate myself to him."

"Dad, what brings you here?" Su Mengli was quite surprised, as her father had not visited the hospital for a long time. His arrival today made her wonder if he intended to stop her mother's treatment. Looking at the old dean beside her father, Su Mengli felt even more uneasy

"The allure of the uniform is truly captivating," Ye Wutian murmured, his spirit already captivated by that young nurse.

"Hehe, it would be even more secure if I could verify my identity first," Ye Wutian said with a lewd smile. However, seeing Su Mengli's seemingly angry expression, he quickly changed his tone, saying, "Just kidding, just kidding, saving lives is the priority"

This young nurse possesses a naturally flawless face, unadorned by any makeup, and a pair of beautiful, captivating eyes that evoke thoughts of spring water, shimmering with gentle waves. A strand of her jet-black hair, as fine as silk, dances lightly in the wind, stirring the heart. Although she is dressed in simple attire, she still manages to leave a striking impression.

Su Zhiyuan did not intervene, for in his eyes, this transaction was merely a joke

However, for the Su family at present, this transaction involving a million for the book has already become a significant expense. Therefore, upon hearing Ye Wutian's terms for the deal, Su Zhiyuan's expression was not very pleasant.

However, facing Su Mengli's tearful eyes, Ye Wutian heartlessly asked, "Sister, so you already have a partner. Could it be that you have already consummated the marriage? How about we change the terms of our deal? If I cure your mother, you give me one million. What do you think?"

A middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit, looking somewhat haggard, walked out of the door alongside an elderly man with white hair dressed in a white coat, followed by a young nurse.

Su Mengli's face flushed, and she said, "Whether it is true or false, you will naturally know when the time comes"

"What’s the matter? Am I not allowed to come? If I don’t show up, you might as well treat this place like a hotel. Look at the kind of people you’ve brought back!" Su Zhiyuan scolded with a stern face, deliberately glancing at Ye Wutian, who was standing behind Su Mengli with a lewd expression.

With a loud slap, Su Zhiyuan finally could not hold back any longer, striking Su Mengli across the face, while Ye Wutian felt an unbearable pain in his heart

Su Mengli naturally knew that her family's situation was no longer as good as it once was, so without a second thought, she said: "No need to change it, rest assured, I am still pure."

Then, with a pale face, Su Zhiyuan reprimanded, "You should wake up and see what you have done! Do you think this will bring your mother back to life? If there were really any hope, would I give up?" It pained Su Zhiyuan immensely to see his daughter in such a state, and he could not bear to watch her remain so deluded.

Seeing Ye Wutian staring at her intently, the young nurse unexpectedly made a face, then haughtily rolled her eyes and turned her head away

Ye Wutian has lived a life free from financial worries since childhood. In his eyes, money is merely a number, and he is not very clear about what exactly this one million can accomplish.

Su Mengli took a deep breath and was about to reach for the door when it was opened from the inside

As Ye Wutian was about to enter the ward, he was stopped at the doorway by Jiang Senhui

Certainly, no matter how high his achievements are, they do not catch Ye Wutian's eye. At present, Ye Wutian is not focused on these two men, but rather on the young nurse following behind them.
