Ye Tiancheng had just arrived at the company on his first day when an uninvited guest appeared. If Hou Mingzhu wasn't watching him less closely now, Ye Tiancheng wouldn't have dared to meet such a beautiful girl.
Ye Tiancheng hadn't seen Su Muxian for some time. Su Muxian looked much thinner now, and her attire was more mature. She used to have the feel of a little loli, but now she finally looked like a young lady.
"I feel like you're quite familiar, but I can't recall your memories clearly. Mr. Ye, isn't that strange?"
It was Ye Tiancheng who had deliberately blurred Su Muxian's memories, not wanting his existence to continue causing the young girl distress. However, when Su Muxian appeared before him with a confused expression, Ye Tiancheng felt a little uncomfortable, wondering if he had gone too far. After all, he wasn't the master of heaven and earth, and he truly had no right to take away someone else's memories.
"Perhaps you dreamt of me sometime, which is why you feel a sense of closeness. To be honest, we aren't that familiar. You only helped me when I first started my business, so perhaps you feel indebted to me."
Ye Tiancheng was talking nonsense, trying to make things sound plausible. After all, there was no deeper affection between them beyond that of benefactor and recipient.
"It's still quite strange." Su Muxian tidied her hair and decided not to dwell on the topic, instead changing the subject.
"The reason I'm looking for you today is that I heard from my family that you can help treat illnesses. My aunt has cancer and is currently in the hospital. Can you go and see her?"
Ye Tiancheng vaguely remembered helping Hou Mingzhu's father in the past, which was why the rumor spread that he could cure diseases. Ye Tiancheng would definitely refuse anyone who came to him, as it consumed his true qi to extend someone's life. However, the person asking for his help now was Su Muxian, the woman Ye Tiancheng felt most indebted to in his life. Ye Tiancheng couldn't refuse and could only agree for now.
"I'll go see your aunt after work if I have time, to see what her condition is."
"Can we go now?" Her expression, which had been calm moments ago, now seemed on the verge of tears. Her tearful appearance was truly heartbreaking. "My aunt is suffering greatly during her treatment. I want you to save her. I'll give you as much money as you want. I hope you can help save her."
Su Muxian was being very polite to Ye Tiancheng now, only wanting him to help save her aunt. She even addressed him as "you" respectfully. Ye Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a pang of pain.
"Alright, let me just make a quick arrangement, and we'll leave now."
Ye Tiancheng ultimately couldn't resist Su Muxian's pitiful gaze and decided to go see her aunt. Ye Tiancheng briefly explained things to Xiao Pang, asking him to handle any unfinished work, and then got into Su Muxian's car.
Su Muxian didn't talk much on the way, occasionally crying. It was evident that Su Muxian was very concerned about her aunt.
The car drove for two hours, passing through many winding mountain roads, before finally arriving at the entrance of a hospital called Yonghe Hospital. The hospital looked grand, surrounded by forests and featuring rock gardens and flowing water. Even the security guards' uniforms looked expensive. From the outside, it resembled a luxurious villa belonging to a wealthy family, definitely not like a hospital.
This must be the happiness of the rich, to come to such a private hospital even when sick.
However, illness was merciless. No matter how much money one had, once diagnosed with cancer, the chemotherapy would inflict unbearable pain.
"Mr. Ye, let's go in quickly."
As if she had found a miraculous cure for her aunt, Su Muxian was very anxious and quickly urged Ye Tiancheng inside.
At this moment, Ye Tiancheng saw the nurses standing by the display counter. They were all stunning, about 1.8 meters tall, with curvaceous figures. Those who knew would think they were nurses, but those who didn't might mistake them for supermodels at a car show.
Working at such a high-end private hospital, their monthly salary was likely eight to ten times that of a regular receptionist, which explained the need for such talent.
"Wow, isn't that Miss Su of the Su family? Why is she with someone dressed so plainly, who looks like they don't have much money? It's really bad luck to have a bumpkin appear in a hospital like ours."
"That man is quite good-looking. He's probably Miss Su's new boyfriend. But Miss Su has always been scandal-free. She's finally willing to bring her boyfriend along."
Ye Tiancheng heard all these rumors, and so did Su Muxian. The Su Muxian of the past was very delicate, but now she had gained a bit of assertiveness.
"If I dare to gossip anymore, I'm afraid I won't want my monthly salary of one hundred thousand, will I?"
"We're sorry, Miss Su. We know we were wrong."
After all, the Su family was the major shareholder of this hospital, owning over seventy percent of the shares. These mere receptionists could only look up to Su Muxian and wouldn't dare to offend her.
Su Muxian was very polite to Ye Tiancheng this time and even apologized to him. Then, they boarded the elevator.
Ye Tiancheng wouldn't bother with such trivial matters with the receptionists, but he did care about Su Muxian's attitude. Su Muxian was too polite to him now, and Ye Tiancheng found it very unsettling.
As they got into the elevator and before it started moving, Ye Tiancheng used his true qi to overhear the two receptionists whispering.
"She thinks Miss Su is all that, but didn't things end badly? The wedding with Young Master Ouyang wasn't even successfully completed. Now she's just a discarded woman nobody wants. What's the use of having a pretty face when her reputation is ruined..."
Ye Tiancheng clenched his fists tightly. These two receptionists were going too far. Ye Tiancheng didn't care how much they slandered him; he was a grown man and didn't need to stoop to the level of two women.
However, they were saying such nasty things when Su Muxian couldn't hear them. Ye Tiancheng then unleashed his true qi. The two receptionists who had been speaking suddenly felt their legs go weak and collapsed to the ground. They writhed and yelled as if possessed, then started tearing at each other's hair, creating a huge commotion.
Security guards were dispatched, and people were recording videos. The reputations of the two women were completely ruined.
After getting into the elevator, Su Muxian heard the commotion outside but paid no attention. Instead, she pressed the button for the fifth floor. Her aunt was currently on the fifth floor, undergoing treatment.
The hospital's equipment was all state-of-the-art, and even the doors were automatic.
Su Muxian led Ye Tiancheng to her aunt. Her aunt's name was Su Fanghua. She was once a great beauty, but now she was gaunt and worn out by illness.
Her aunt, who was nearly fifty, had been a renowned beauty in the area before falling ill. Due to her good maintenance, she looked no older than her early thirties. But now, wearing a patient's gown, Su Fanghua had lost the will to live.
"Doctor, quickly give me a lethal injection. I don't want to live anymore... *sob sob sob*..."
The torment of the illness was indescribable. Su Fanghua now only wished for death. While weeping, she could also distract herself.
"Auntie, I've found an expert to save you. You'll be fine soon. Don't think too much."
"Xian'er, my dear niece, I thought no one was coming to see me. I'm already very happy that you came to see me. I didn't dote on you for nothing when you were little."
Seeing her relative, after enduring so much pain, she could finally vent it. For Su Fanghua, this might be the last gift at the end of her life.
Su Muxian told her aunt not to be too pessimistic and then introduced Ye Tiancheng to her aunt.
"Did you find a charlatan?" Unlike Su Muxian, Su Fanghua had no hope when facing Ye Tiancheng.
"I appreciate your gesture, Auntie, but I have an incurable disease, I know that."
Ye Tiancheng first greeted her politely, then asked Fanghua to close her eyes. He then channeled his true qi and placed his hand on Su Fanghua's wrist. Due to her illness, Su Fanghua's wrist was frighteningly thin.
Ye Tiancheng transferred his true qi. Miraculously, Su Fanghua's entire body's pain disappeared instantly. She looked reborn and full of vigor.
"This is amazing! Cancer is an incurable disease, and even immortals would find it difficult to cure. Why did you have such a healing effect just by touching my hand?"
Su Muxian said proudly from the side, "I told you Mr. Ye is very powerful. I heard that Mr. Ye has cured people with incurable diseases before, but such matters are kept secret. If others found out, the world would be in chaos."
"Xian'er, you saved my life this time. Even if I can't fully recover, at least I won't have to endure the pain."
Ye Tiancheng could completely cure Su Muxian's aunt, but it would consume a lot of his true qi. After all, this was defying fate. Bringing someone back from the brink of death was saving a life.
"Mr. Ye, I beg you, please let my aunt be completely cured. She's still young, and I don't want my aunt to leave this world so soon."
"Alright, I'll try. Please close the door and go outside. It will take about five minutes."
If it were anyone else, Ye Tiancheng wouldn't have expended so much of his true qi, but this was Su Muxian.
The moment he saw Su Muxian, Ye Tiancheng lost all his temper. Moreover, Ye Tiancheng was very willing to listen to whatever Su Muxian said.
Su Muxian left the room and closed the door, her heart still pounding. She never expected such a powerful person to exist in this world and instantly felt immense admiration for Ye Tiancheng.
Perhaps it was the subconscious affection at play. Su Muxian had already developed feelings for Ye Tiancheng, and now she had even more good feelings towards him.
Five minutes later, Su Muxian opened the door and walked in. She saw her aunt sitting up and then getting up and walking around the room twice. With Ye Tiancheng's sacrifice, Su Fanghua had completely recovered from cancer, and all cancer cells had vanished.
"Auntie, are you alright?"
"Yes, I can confirm I'm cured. My body is even better than before."
Su Fanghua was overjoyed and immediately decided to escape this dreadful hospital. She had stayed there for too long and had even thought her life would end there.
Now, the smell of disinfectant in the hospital made her feel nauseous. The best solution was to quickly escape to a familiar and bright environment, letting those terrifying memories disappear. After all, the shadows left when facing death were difficult to erase.
"I want to check out. Xian'er, quickly go and call the doctor. I want to check out now, I can't stay here for another minute."
