"Actually, this person isn't ill; it's just that the vocal cords are naturally a bit thick! The patient disliked the sound of their own voice and had surgery on the vocal cords early on, which only made it sound worse!"

Hearing Luo Shanshan's explanation, Lin Jie had a bad feeling, could it be the same person?

If it truly is the same person, then it's quite a pickle!

Previously, he declined An Kexin, and now he's taking on this person, where does that leave An Kexin's pride?

Luo Shanshan continued on the phone: "The patient is a girl, 26 years old, quite pretty but with a voice like a middle-aged, weathered man. Isn't that just pitiful!"

Lin Jie was already certain it was the same person. Feeling indescribably frustrated, he asked, "What's the patient's name?"

"Du Feixue!"

"Have her come to the clinic tomorrow. I'll check her out as your assistant!"

Lin Jie hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and decided to call An Kexin to communicate beforehand.

The call quickly connected, and Lin Jie directly asked, "Kexin, is your arty friend's name Du Feixue?"

An Kexin, having lunch at a western restaurant, glanced at the person opposite her and softly said, "Yes, that's her name!"

Listening on the phone for a while, An Kexin showed a mischievous smile and said, "The world truly is small, isn't it? Don't worry, I won't have other thoughts, she's my best friend after all!"

"As long as her condition improves, I'll be joyous, and have to thank you plenty!"

"I really won't overthink it, um... goodbye!"

Putting down the phone, An Kexin elegantly cut a small piece of steak, ate it, took a small sip of red wine, and softly said, "Fei Xue, has your family contacted the doctor again?"

Sitting opposite her was Du Feixue, the subject of her conversation with Lin Jie on the phone!

Du Feixue took a big bite of steak and gruffly said, "It's not my parents, it's Zhao Mo's parents."

"They heard from somewhere that a small clinic has a top-notch expert who got someone who had been mute to speak again, so they eagerly came saying my voice can be treated!"

"Seriously!"

Du Feixue dismissively said, "If renowned hospital experts couldn't fix it, how can a wild expert from a small clinic cure it? Isn't that an international joke?!"

An Kexin playfully smiled and said, "The fact that Zhao Mo had his parents contact your parents, shows he's genuinely concerned and cares for you. Shouldn't you consider it?"

"Tch... cares about me?"

Du Feixue spat, "Cares about my family's money, right!"

"Think about it, Kexin, if he truly liked me as a person, why would he rush over upon hearing this news? Isn't it obvious he dislikes my voice?"

Upon hearing this, An Kexin truly didn't know what to say. How is one supposed to behave around her?

Ignoring An Kexin's thoughts, Du Feixue continued, "Don't say I'm too absolute. Let me tell you, anyone chasing me saying they like me either wants my family's money or they're utter mental cases!"

"Think about it, Kexin. During intimate moments, if the moans from my mouth sound rough and manly, how could the other person be interested?"

"If they still are, they must be perverts!"

An Kexin forked a piece of beef and, after several failed attempts to eat it, ended up putting it down, glaring at Du Feixue: "Fei Xue, I can't stand you! Talking about this during a meal, completely killed my appetite!"

An Kexin suddenly chuckled, saying, "Hey... you could always just not make any sounds during intimate moments!"

Du Feixue defiantly took another big bite of steak and laughed: "Suppress myself, just so he can be satisfied? I haven't met a guy yet who's worth me sacrificing for so willingly."

At this point, her expression turned gloomy: "Such a person, I probably won't ever find in this lifetime! The ones I like think little of me. The ones who like me all have ulterior motives!"

An Kexin took a sip of water, adjusted her posture, and said seriously, "Du Feixue, I just have one question for you, do you trust me?"

"Trust? Of course, I trust you! What kind of friendship do we have, huh? We've been classmates from elementary through high school!"

Du Feixue cheerfully responded but became serious when she saw An Kexin's stern face, asking with concern, "Kexin, did something happen?"

"If it's a business matter and you need money, don't worry, I'll go on a hunger strike and jump off a building to get millions from dad!"

An Kexin gave a bright smile and said, "It's not a business matter!"

"But I will keep it in mind. In case my company ever needs help, and you refuse, we'll no longer be besties."

"It's about you!"

"Fei Xue, this clinic is reliable. It's the greatest opportunity for your voice to improve, you have to go!"

Du Feixue was stunned, and with great interest, asked, "Kexin, you know this clinic too?"

An Kexin firmly nodded and said, "Not only do I know it, but I'm also quite familiar! I can even tell you the speech recovery surgery for that mute woman happened right under my nose!"

This time, Du Feixue was indeed intrigued and eagerly asked, "Really? What exactly happened? Tell me in detail!"

An Kexin frowned, thought for a bit, and reluctantly said, "Fei Xue, I promised him not to disclose any details without his permission. So I can't tell you much!"

"But I can guarantee on our 20-year friendship that he's truly amazing. This is indeed the best chance for your voice to improve!"

An Kexin's evasion made Du Feixue truly take it seriously.

She gently laughed and said, "With you bringing up our 20-year friendship, I can't disregard your good intentions! Kexin, this time, I'll follow your advice, and give it another shot!"

"How much worse can the outcome be? At worst, my voice will go from sounding like a middle-aged man to an elderly one—it's just a 90 steps to a 100-step difference."

Du Feixue put on a serious face and said, "However, I have one condition!"

"What condition?" An Kexin asked nervously!

Du Feixue chuckled and said, "Since you know him, you're responsible for contacting him for this treatment. I want to owe him a favor and let Zhao Mo rot!"

An Kexin looked helpless, and said weakly, "Alright, I'll make the contact! However, you must agree to one thing too!"
