Hearing this, every cell in Qi Suilin's body protested. Apologize to Yu He?
Although he had pushed her, he hadn't done anything wrong. Why should he apologize to her?
He absolutely refused!
It wasn't just him who felt this way; Qi Yewen was also unwilling.
To make them bow their heads and apologize to Yu He would be like using the Qi family's centuries of medical expertise as a stepping stone for Yu He, telling the world that their Qi family was inferior to Yu He alone.
"Dad, this is probably not possible," Qi Yewen said. "We can negotiate a truce, but an apology is out of the question!"
Old Mrs. Qi, after hearing Qi Lin's words, burst into laughter in anger. "Qi Lin, you're clearly biased towards her! My attitude is the same as Yewen's. An apology is impossible. If you want to go, go by yourself!"
Qi Lin saw that none of them were willing, and he felt an unspeakable anger and helplessness. The Qi family's centuries of medical heritage were going to be ruined in their hands!
"Fine, if none of you will go, I will!"
With that, he turned and went upstairs.
Old Mrs. Qi watched his resolute back, her chest heaving with anger.
Yu Xiuxiu, you old vixen! You're already this old, and you still haven't given up on seducing Qi Lin!
Fine, go. I'll see if there's any lingering affection between you and her!
***
The next day.
Yu He slept until noon. When she woke up and heard activity in the kitchen, she thought the little piglet was causing trouble. She went in and saw Qin Beiting.
He was wearing an apron, his sleeves rolled up to his arms and secured with armbands, revealing his slender hands as he stirred something in a bowl. His fingers were covered in green dough.
"Are you making qingtuan?" Yu He smelled the scent of mugwort and curiously stepped closer. She glanced at what was in his bowl and saw that it was indeed mashed mugwort leaves mixed with flour, but he had added too much water, making it a paste. "..."
"Mm," Qin Beiting replied.
"Aren't you going to work today?" Yu He asked, as it was a workday.
Qin Beiting: "Skipping work to make qingtuan for my girlfriend, so she doesn't forget she has a boyfriend around."
Yu He listened to his sarcastic tone and felt a bit speechless. He was still jealous about her interacting with Shen Yao yesterday!
"Are you still jealous?"
Qin Beiting remained silent, his silence saving the large mass of dough.
Yu He helplessly walked behind him, wrapped her arms around his strong waist, and leaned in to look at him. "Alright, don't be angry anymore, okay? You're so smart, you should know that if I use your people, it's easy to expose your identity, right?"
Qin Beiting continued to remain silent, but the displeasure on his stern face did not diminish one bit.
"..."
Yu He recalled what Ruan Tianxin had said about men getting angry, throwing tantrums, or being jealous not being true anger, but just wanting to be noticed. She continued to coax him:
"In my eyes, you are the most handsome and capable man in the world. Besides you, I don't look at anyone else. So be confident, and don't be jealous for no reason, okay?"
Qin Beiting's dough-kneading motion paused. He turned his head, his gaze burning into Yu He's eyes. "Do you really think so?"
"........"
Yu He nodded. For a moment, she felt a little like a flirt, saying anything to coax a man.
But these words were very effective on Qin Beiting.
A young girl wouldn't easily say such sweet words.
"From now on, say this to all the men who approach you. Qin Beiting is the only man you love in this world."
"................."
He was escalating so quickly!
Yu He suspected he was doing it on purpose, just to get her to say that.
But in the end, she managed to appease him. Dating was sometimes harder than studying.
"By the way, have you gotten any results from the photos I asked you to investigate last time?" Yu He remembered this matter.
A flicker of hesitation crossed Qin Beiting's eyes. "Not yet, but I did find out that Ms. Huang had surgery."
Yu He's eyes lit up. "Let me see."
Ms. Huang had surgical scars on her neck, indicating she had undergone surgery. But Yu He had searched until late last night and only found that Ms. Huang had been diagnosed with vocal cord polyps at Renren General Hospital. However, she couldn't find the surgical records.
"On my phone." Qin Beiting raised his hands, which were covered in sticky dough, and leaned to the side, letting her take it herself.
Yu He reached into his suit pocket. Through the thin fabric, she felt his warm thigh but didn't find his phone.
She looked up and met the man's deep eyes, filled with unconcealed desire and a smile.
She suddenly felt tricked by him and quickly withdrew her hand.
Seeing her ears turn red, looking somewhat cute, Qin Beiting couldn't help but smile and said in his magnetic voice, "It's not like I haven't touched you before, why are you still shy?"
Yu He's pride was instantly ignited. She grabbed his collar. "Man, I advise you not to play with fire, or else..."
Qin Beiting's throat bobbed, and he raised an eyebrow. "Or else what?"
A wicked smile curved Yu He's lips. "Or else you'll find that the fire you started can only be extinguished by yourself!"
As she spoke, she quickly reached into his other pocket, snatched his phone, and with a graceful turn, moved to the dining table.
Qin Beiting: "..."
Yu He unlocked Qin Beiting's phone and found the information he mentioned in the file folder.
They were photos of several surgical consent forms, specifically for Ms. Huang's vocal cord polyp removal surgery eleven years ago, with Qi Yewen as the chief surgeon.
No wonder she couldn't find Ms. Huang's surgical records after searching all night. This was a physical document, a highly confidential surgical contract signed with a non-disclosure agreement. The Qi family had not uploaded it to the medical system.
"Where is the original contract?" Yu He looked up and asked.
"Renren General Hospital's data library, Room A, Row 18, Layer 7, Shelf 35," Qin Beiting replied.
Such a clear location indicated that he or his people had been there.
"Thanks." Yu He turned and forwarded these photos to her phone, then turned and left the kitchen for the study.
Qin Beiting watched her retreating back, wanting to tell her to stop investigating, but swallowed the words.
In the afternoon, Yu He was waiting in the clinic lobby for Qin Xinyao's arrival. However, Qin Yonghui and Qin Xinyao had not yet arrived, but an unexpected guest did.
"Hello, may I have your name, and did you make an appointment?" Qiao Wei at the door asked formulaically, not recognizing the person.
The visitor was wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit. His posture was straight. Although his hair was white, his spirit and complexion were good. His face, etched with the marks of time, held a touch of heroism, indicating that his looks were not bad in his youth.
"Qi Lin. No appointment. I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm here to find Physician Yu and the Nameless Divine Physician." Qi Lin said.
His tone was calm, and his demeanor exuded cultivation and kindness.
Hearing his name, Yu He looked up at him, puzzled. Why was he here?
"Brother Wei, let him in."
Qi Lin looked towards Yu He at the sound of her voice and recognized her immediately. He stepped forward, smiling, and extended his right hand. "Nameless Divine Physician, long time no see. You didn't attend this year's International Medical Symposium, and everyone missed you."
Grant had previously invited Yu He to attend this year's International Medical Symposium, but she was busy and declined.
Yu He stroked the little piglet in her arms, did not shake his hand, and asked in a flat tone, "Are you here to tell me this?"
