Chapter 2041: You’re Richer Than Him, That’s Your Edge
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Today, I’m here to accompany someone for a medical check-up. Otherwise, I would have definitely have dropped by your office for a visit.”

“I heard about the medical matter from Director Li,” Miao Guofeng said.

“Next time something like this happens, you don’t need to come personally. Just give a heads-up, and I’ll assign someone to follow through. There’s no need for you to be involved.”

“I mainly came over because I had nothing else to do.”

Yan Ci, who was standing nearby, seemed to think of something.

In reality, Lin Yi didn’t need to come at all. With his connections, a simple word would have ensured the medical issue was handled.

Perhaps it was because of her that he made the special trip.

Yan Ci also noticed the fleeting tenderness in Li Chuhan’s eyes.

She realized there might be some unspeakable secret between her and Lin Yi.

“Alright then, where’s the patient? Director Li is already here, so let’s get the check-up done.” Miao Guofeng said.

“The test results are all here,” Yan Ci politely handed everything over.

Li Chuhan glanced at the test results and then focused on Ma Xiaoliang.

“Did you order all these tests?”

“Yes, I did…”

Ma Xiaoliang stammered.

“I know several directors in the cardiology department, but I’ve never seen you before. You must be new to the residency program, right?”

Li Chuhan’s tone was calm, but to Ma Xiaoliang, it felt like a judgment.

“Yes…”

“With your current title, you’re not qualified to order these tests.” Li Chuhan raised the test results in her hand. “I’d like to know what’s going on here.”

“I…”

Cold sweat dripped down Ma Xiaoliang’s face, and he couldn’t say a word in his panic.

“I understand your reasoning for doing this—trying to cover all the bases is not unreasonable. However, among all these tests, only the ECG and echocardiogram are useful. You could have determined the issue just from these results. So why did you order so many unnecessary tests?”

“I…I…” Ma Xiaoliang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said.

“My skills aren’t as good as Director Li’s. I couldn’t diagnose the patient’s condition with just the ECG and echocardiogram…”

“If you couldn’t diagnose it, you should have referred the patient to another doctor. Ordering so many tests has placed a significant financial burden on the patient. Do you realize that?”

“Director Li, please take care of the patient first. I’ll handle this matter.” Miao Guofeng said.

“I appreciate that, Dean Miao.”

With a smile, Li Chuhan looked at Tang Li, “Come with me.”

“Sure, sure…”

Tang Li quickly responded and followed Li Chuhan to the nurse’s station.

Li Chuhan placed the stethoscope on Tang Li’s chest and gently pressed a few times, then concluded the examination.

“Doctor, is my condition serious?”

“It’s not too bad, nothing major,” Li Chuhan said. “How old are you this year?”

“54.”

“Have you had any surgeries in the past two years?”

“I had a hysterectomy last year, and they removed my entire ovary as well.”

Li Chuhan nodded. “Let me explain your situation.”

“There’s not much wrong with your heart. You have some signs of premature beats and heart failure, but don’t worry. At your age, this is quite common, and you don’t need medication—just make sure to rest more.”

“The discomfort you’re feeling in your heart is likely due to the hysterectomy, not a heart issue.”

“Can a hysterectomy affect the heart?”

“That’s not exactly what I mean,” Li Chuhan explained.

“At your age, you’re already in the menopausal stage, where a normal person’s estrogen levels decrease gradually. However, because you had the surgery, your hormone levels dropped suddenly, and your body couldn’t adjust in time. This led to some issues with your body’s functions. As long as you take care of yourself, it should get better. Otherwise, it could develop into depression, so it’s important to manage it carefully.”

“But now, I can’t sleep at night, and my mood is very irritable.”

“That’s an early sign of depression. After you go back, buy a box of Deanxit and take it with Diazepam. You’ll soon feel better, so there’s no need to worry.”

Hearing this, Yan Ci breathed a sigh of relief. Since there was no serious issue, she felt reassured.

“Doctor, can my mom’s condition really be cured with just some medication?” Zhou Xinyu asked, a bit worried.

Li Chuhan nodded. “Don’t worry, it’s fine. And the medications are not expensive. Since the symptoms are mild, half a tablet each time will suffice. The monthly cost is about 100 yuan, which should be affordable, right?”

“Only 100 yuan…”

Everyone was once again shocked by the low cost.

It was really cheap!

“Thank you, Doctor.”

“It’s my duty.”

After acknowledging the thanks, Li Chuhan looked at Lin Yi and said,

“Next time something like this happens, just give me a call. There’s no need to trouble anyone else.”

“Got it,” Lin Yi replied with a smile.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back.”

Because Yan Ci was there, Li Chuhan didn’t stay long. She left with Miao Guofeng, and Ma Xiaoliang also left with them.

His future in the hospital was now uncertain.

“Let’s go; the check-up is done. Let’s head back now,” Lin Yi said.

“Mm-hmm.”

Yan Ci responded, then took Tang Li’s hand and said,

“Aunty, the check-up is done. It’s just mild depression, so take the medication and you’ll be fine.”

“Yes, yes…”

Tang Li quickly agreed, feeling much more relaxed now that she knew there was no serious illness.

The three of them walked ahead, while Chen Teng and Zhou Xinyu followed behind.

Zhou Xinyu was in a good mood since her mother didn’t have any major issues, but Chen Teng was sullen and hadn’t spoken for a long time.

“Teng, are you upset about what happened earlier?”

“What do you think?” Chen Teng said with a sour expression.

“What’s his deal? He actually knows the director and dean of Huashan Hospital! Damn it!”

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Since last night, Chen Teng had pinned his hopes on today, planning to redeem himself and impress Tang Li and Yan Ci.

But things didn’t go as planned.

In fact, it was a complete defeat, and he had nowhere left to hide.

“Teng, don’t be mad. At least my mom is fine, and that’s more important than anything else,” Zhou Xinyu said.

“We’ll find another way to regain face. There’s no need to be upset over this small matter.”

Zhou Xinyu had always looked down on Yan Ci. Being overshadowed twice had left her feeling uneasy as well.

“But the problem is, he’s not lacking in ability, and it’s hard to find another opportunity.”

“Who says that? You’re richer than him, and that’s your biggest edge!”
