Chapter 546 Visiting the Renxin Medical Hall
Chen Xuan did not answer directly, and said with a smile, "Does it matter? But I can cure your face."
"Hurry up and cure it! Cure it for me quickly! If you delay things, I'll take your life!"
Shi Menglu was so anxious she could almost jump.
Even when asking for help, she remained so arrogant.
Chen Xuan rubbed his chin and said slowly, "I can treat you, but you have to admit that your clarification about He Qiongshi's escort service is false."
Shi Menglu's expression froze instantly upon hearing this.
She hesitated.
"This time, you have no other choice," Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
Shi Menglu pondered for a moment, her eyes flickering, and then her gaze sharpened. "No, I still have a choice. I don't believe no one can cure my face!"
"That's right, who says only you can cure my Lulu's face."
Her agent, Sister Mei, walked over, holding Shi Menglu's shoulder.
If Shi Menglu admitted this, her acting career would be ruined, and she would lose a money-making tool.
Hearing this, Shi Menglu felt a glimmer of hope.
She didn't believe she had to rely on Chen Xuan.
"Let's go."
At this moment, Shi Menglu no longer cared about finding trouble with He Qiongshi. She turned and left with her agent, Sister Mei.
Hua Guoxiong and Xu Lizhu were stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Shi, where are you going?"
"To get treatment!"
Shi Menglu yelled and walked away briskly, with her agent Sister Mei following closely.
Hua Guoxiong and Xu Lizhu looked at each other and then turned to leave dejectedly.
After everyone left, the private room became quiet again.
"Chen Xuan, did you do this to her face?"
He Qiongshi frowned, looking at Chen Xuan with wide eyes.
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.
Hearing this, Wei Linlin grinned, revealing her small canine teeth, and gave Chen Xuan a thumbs-up, "Evil gets its due. Serves her right."
He Qiongshi and her agent, Sister Mei, nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, He Qiongshi thought of something and asked worriedly, "Chen Xuan, there are so many plastic surgery hospitals and medical halls now, won't she go somewhere else for treatment?"
Chen Xuan smiled, "Her poison has gone deep into her bones. Even plastic surgery won't help, unless it's like scraping the bone to heal the wound. But that's her face, it's impossible to scrape the bone to heal."
Upon hearing this, He Qiongshi didn't doubt him and showed the happiest smile of the day.
After the meal, Chen Xuan drove Wei Linlin away. Before leaving, Chen Xuan comforted He Qiongshi, telling her not to worry, to rest well, and that things would turn around within three days.
In the evening, Chen Xuan received a call from Huo Yuhao.
Someone had hired internet trolls to attack Huo's Cosmetics, claiming that Huo's Cosmetics harbored He Qiongshi and that their cosmetics were the same as He Qiongshi's – all cheap.
With the embellishment of the trolls, the incident of He Qiongshi selling herself continued to ferment, further impacting Huo's Cosmetics. Their once best-selling cosmetics began to stagnate, and even the sales of the best-performing counters dropped to less than half of yesterday's. The sales of average counters were even more dismal.
Chen Xuan knew with his toes who had hired those trolls; it was definitely Shi Menglu. However, Shi Menglu wouldn't be able to cause trouble for much longer.
"Mr. Chen, should we terminate the contract with He Qiongshi? I know He Qiongshi is innocent, but if we don't terminate the contract, the impact will be very significant." Huo Yuhao raised this issue again.
Chen Xuan smiled, "Yuhao, hold on for another day."
"Okay... okay."
Huo Yuhao could only nod, but he still insisted on his own idea and was more inclined to terminate the contract with He Qiongshi.
Chen Xuan slept soundly and peacefully all night.
The next morning, Chen Xuan, full of energy, went to the Renxin Medical Hall to teach Old Lu and Lu Jian medical skills.
However, for the celebrity Shi Menglu, who relied on her looks, this night was no different from a nightmare. She rushed to hospitals and plastic surgery clinics in the provincial capital all night, but none could cure her face.
This was like a bolt from the blue for Shi Menglu, who relied on her looks for a living.
Did she really have to ask that guy?
Shi Menglu, sitting on the hotel sofa, her face became even paler, her expression haggard.
Although she hadn't seen it, Shi Menglu felt the cracks on her face had grown larger.
"Lulu, good news, good news!"
Just then, a cheer rang out.
Shi Menglu's agent, Sister Mei, rushed in from outside, her face full of joy, as if she had encountered the greatest good news.
Shi Menglu suddenly raised her head, "Sister Mei, have you found a divine doctor who can treat my face?"
Agent Sister Mei was startled when she saw Shi Menglu's face.
On Shi Menglu's right cheek, a three-centimeter crack had appeared, as if someone had slashed it with a dagger. The crack on her left cheek had grown even larger, with ulceration around it, looking very frightening.
She took a breath, trying to avoid looking at Shi Menglu's face, fearing nightmares at night.
Sister Mei's subtle movements made Shi Menglu's heart ache as if pricked by needles. She trembled, "Has my face become more ulcerated?"
"No, no."
Agent Sister Mei forced a smile and changed the subject, "No matter how serious it is, we've found a divine doctor who can treat your face!"
"Really?"
After repeated disappointments, Shi Menglu was not as excited. "Is it reliable?"
Agent Sister Mei said with certainty, "Of course it's reliable. I heard that this divine doctor has treated many cases of skin ulceration. In Jiangnan Province, he is second only to the Jiangnan Medical King, Old Huang. With him treating you, your face will surely be cured."
They had also sought out Old Huang, but he never treated skin diseases.
Shi Menglu's hope reignited, and she immediately stood up, "Quick, let's go!"
More than twenty minutes later.
Shi Menglu and her agent, Sister Mei, stood on the street in the provincial city center.
Shi Menglu was dressed in a large mask, sunglasses, and a woolen hat, completely covered.
She glanced at the shop in front of them, "Sister Mei, is this the place?"
"Yes! This is the place. I've already had someone queue up."
Agent Sister Mei said with a smile.
Shi Menglu took a breath and eagerly walked into the shop, with her agent Sister Mei closely following.
Above the shop hung a plaque with several large characters: Renxin Medical Hall!
Shi Menglu was an important patient, so Old Lu had to personally come out to receive her and took her directly to the office behind him.
"Miss Shi, please take off your mask," Old Lu said with a smile.
Shi Menglu took a breath and slowly removed her mask.
Upon seeing the cracks on Shi Menglu's face, Old Lu's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his expression turned grim.
"Divine Doctor Lu, this condition..." Shi Menglu started.
Old Lu took a breath, "Miss Shi, let me take your pulse first."
Shi Menglu extended her arm to Old Lu. Her wrist was as delicate and fair as lotus roots.
Old Lu placed his hand on Shi Menglu's wrist. After a moment, he withdrew his hand expressionlessly and fell silent.
"Divine Doctor Lu, can you treat this condition?"
Agent Sister Mei couldn't help but ask.
Shi Menglu looked at Divine Doctor Lu nervously.
This was her last hope! If Divine Doctor Lu couldn't cure it, then she was finished!
