Chapter 1548: Poor Judgment

The surgery time is set for three days from now.

Originally, Wang Sinian wanted to have his grandfather come and stop this surgery.

Unexpectedly, after the old man understood the situation, he actually chose to participate in the surgery.

Liu Xin'ai also invited one of her teachers, a well-known professor of cardiology.

Plus the experts at the Hospital who were originally going to perform the surgery on Xu Xiaoxiao...

Many young doctors at the Hospital wanted to sneak in.

They wanted to see with their own eyes how these titans of the medical world could work miracles!

Unfortunately, not everyone could sneak in.

And the titans encountered a difficult problem during the surgery.

It turned out that Xu Xiaoxiao did not just have a problem with vascular stenosis; there were also some malformations.

Halfway through the surgery, several of them even paused the operation to hold an impromptu meeting to determine the next treatment plan.

As a result, the surgery time was greatly extended.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao's friends are waiting outside the door.

Among them, Wang Sinian is the one with the least patience.

After circling the entrance of the operating room a few times, he muttered, "Why is it taking so long? Could it be..."

"Don't say such discouraging things!" Before Wang Sinian could finish, Liu Qingze interrupted him.

Given Wang Sinian's personality, he would definitely be very annoyed at being interrupted.

But this time, he actually didn't retort, and instead murmured, "Right, I shouldn't talk nonsense!"

To avoid talking nonsense, Wang Sinian simply kept his lips tightly shut.

Cai Xiaotang glanced at him, her gaze somewhat meaningful.

Just as she was observing him, Jiang Baobao leaned over and lowered her voice: "He looks even more nervous than the rest of us."

"Yes."

"The reason?"

As for the reason...

It is quite intriguing.

Jiang Baobao noticed Cai Xiaotang was silent, so she looked over.

And with that look, she happened to catch her raising an eyebrow.

Jiang Baobao knows Cai Xiaotang too well; seeing this little gesture from the woman, she knew she had discovered a clue.

Nudging Cai Xiaotang with her elbow, Jiang Baobao asked, "What do you know?"

"I don't know anything, I just observed a little more."

"Why not share it?"

"Hey, Xiaoxiao is inside having surgery, and we are outside gossiping about her... that doesn't seem very good."

"This isn't gossiping, it's caring about a friend, so she doesn't attract any bad romantic entanglements."

Cai Xiaotang raised an eyebrow again: "Yo, you figured it out?"

Jiang Baobao looked smug, pointed at her own eyes, and said, "I have eyes like torches!"

"Then use those eyes like torches to look again, what's the situation with those two?"

"What else could it be, a bickering couple."

Cai Xiaotang immediately gave a thumbs up, thinking to herself that they were truly in sync, both thinking the same thing!

Lowering her finger, Cai Xiaotang expressed her own thoughts: "This Wang Sinian, his motives aren't simple; beneath all the bickering is concern!"

"Then what does Xiaoxiao mean?"

"Nothing."

These three words... represent quite a lot.

Jiang Baobao rubbed her chin, then pulled Liu Xin'ai over to have her analyze it too.

Actually, Liu Xin'ai should have been inside the operating room as well.

But there were already enough people inside, so she waited outside.

And the extension of the surgery time made her realize there was an emergency inside.

This made Liu Xin'ai extremely anxious.

But being anxious wouldn't change anything, and the friends' chat could just help her relax a bit.

It's just that this topic...

Liu Xin'ai said, "I won't analyze it."

"Why, do you think it's bad to gossip about Xiaoxiao?"

"Hmm... the main thing is that my judgment isn't good; I'm prone to analyzing it wrong and leading you all astray."

Oh my, hearing this, there's a story here!

Jiang Baobao always felt she had missed a lot of fresh news lately, and asked impatiently, "Tell me, what kind of shocking conclusion did you analyze before?"

"I once mistakenly thought... that Xiaoxiao and Qing Ze... um..."

Liu Xin'ai didn't finish, and just smiled awkwardly.

And her conclusion... was indeed shocking.

The air between the few of them went silent.

Jiang Baobao even teased: "Saying she was having an affair with my uncle would be more plausible than your deduction."

Actually...

Liu Xin'ai actually had a new theory.

But she had had a few too many theories lately.

She herself did not know which one she should believe anymore.

So... it was better to remain silent for now.

However, speaking of Jiang Chenghao...

Liu Xin'ai looked at the man standing by the wall.

He was very silent today, arms crossed over his chest, standing there alone, wondering what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, in the midst of the silence, a loud voice rang out: "Oh, so many people here!"

Liu Qingze felt this voice was very familiar; could it be...

He looked up and really did see an acquaintance.

"Zhou Zhou? Why are you here?"

"I heard the beautiful sister was having surgery today, so I was worried and came to take a look."

Seeing that this person was very familiar with her brother, Liu Xin'ai asked, "Who is this..."

"Ah, just someone I know."

Zhou Zhou was very dissatisfied with this introduction, so he re-introduced himself: "I am the collaborator of the beautiful... Miss Xu. The Holographic Projection she uses was developed by me."

Cai Xiaotang had been standing quietly to the side.

Upon hearing this, she said in surprise, "So you are Zhou Zhou."

Zhou Zhou looked at Cai Xiaotang and asked with a smile, "What, does the beautiful sister know me?"

His constant "beautiful sister" made Liu Qingze break out in goosebumps.

Really, he had never seen anyone more greasy than him!

Calling everyone "beautiful sister"!

Unbearable!!

Cai Xiaotang, however, had a very calm attitude and explained with a smile, "A few days ago, I just bought the Holographic Projection equipment from you."

"Oh, Mrs. Li!?"

"It is me."

"Oh my, when we were on the phone, I thought Mrs. Li's voice was super pleasant, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful in person..."

Once Zhou Zhou started buttering people up, he became completely self-absorbed, and his voice was very loud.

Wang Sinian was already annoyed, and seeing him like this, he warned, "Little Fatty, can you be quiet? You're the loudest one here!"

This "Little Fatty" made Zhou Zhou bare his teeth and grimace.

The next second, he gestured wildly and warned, "I've already said, call me by my full name when we're out!"

"Are you going to be loud again!?"

"I..." Zhou Zhou lowered his voice and said weakly, "I'll be quieter, why are you being so fierce!"

Zhou Zhou was unwilling, turned his back to Wang Sinian, and asked, "How is the surgery progressing?"

"A long time has passed, but there is still no news."

Hearing this, the expression on Zhou Zhou's face also became serious.

But just at this moment...

The light on the door of the operating room suddenly went out.

The surgery was over!

Soon, the operating room door opened automatically, and several Doctors walked out.

Wang Sinian hurriedly pushed past others and asked an old man with white hair, "Grandpa, how is Xu Xiaoxiao?"

The old man looked a bit tired, but his eyes were bright, and his voice was full of vigor when he spoke: "The surgery went very smoothly, but the process was quite perilous."

Li Beijue's expression darkened in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the exit.
