Chapter 13: with translation of chapter title
He glared fiercely at the security guard, then turned his head to look at Su Xiyan, his eyes filled with contempt as he advised: "Miss, this is a VIP ward; if you don't have a pass, you cannot enter."
"He gave the security guard a fierce glare, then turned his head to look at Su Xiyan, and with contempt in his eyes advised: 'Miss, this is a VIP ward; if you don't have a pass, you cannot enter.'"
But need to keep meaning exactly. Let's parse: "gave the security guard a vicious stare" = "gave the security guard a vicious stare". "He turned his head to look at Su Xiyan" = "He turned his head to look at Su Xiyan". "With contempt in his eyes, he advised:" = "With contempt in his eyes, he advised:". Then quote.
We'll produce: "He gave the security guard a vicious stare, turned his head to look at Su Xiyan, and with contempt in his eyes advised: 'Miss, this is a VIP ward; if you don't have a pass, you cannot enter.'"
Check: we kept all info.

Translation: "Su Xiyan lifted her gaze to meet Director Liu's, saying, 'I thought physicians do not distinguish between noble and common, but in the best hospital in Jingdu, it is precisely this privileged class that holds sway.'"
I believed doctors treat all patients equally, but in Kyoto's finest hospital, it's actually this kind of privileged elite that holds sway.

"Academician Su, saying that is too polite! You have always been dedicated to research...."
"Oh no! The patient in ward 1208 suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and cardiac arrest!"
Before Feng Qinian could finish speaking, a nurse's cry suddenly rang out from the neighboring ward.
Xiao Ting exclaimed in surprise: "Ward 1208! Isn't that the eldest young master of the Feng family, a financial aristocratic family?"
