Chapter 581: Chapter 580: With What to Repay Kindness
On Friday morning, just before eight, Yan Feifan arrived at the Plastic Surgery Center and happened to run into Director Wang Chuan in the parking lot.
"Feifan, I heard you rushed back to the center last night for an emergency surgery. Does today’s operation need to be postponed?"
Yan Feifan shook his head. "There’s no need to postpone it."
"It was just a minor operation last night, less than two hours. It barely affected my stamina and energy."
Wang Chuan noticed that Yan Feifan didn’t look particularly tired, so he didn’t press the issue. Instead, he asked curiously, "What kind of patient was it that made you come all the way back to the hospital last night?"
Yan Feifan explained, "A twenty-four-year-old man. Car accident. He didn’t have any major injuries, but his face was hurt pretty badly."
"The tip of his nose was severed, and he had several lacerations on his face."
Yan Feifan added with a soft chuckle, "They said he’s one of Meng Yao’s relatives. He’s one of our own, after all, so I had to look out for him."
Wang Chuan murmured an "oh" and nodded. "Good. You should always take care of the people around you when you’re able to."
"Meng Yao has been with the center for years. She knows her boundaries and isn’t the type to overstep."
After a brief pause, Wang Chuan added softly, "Regarding that one-fifth of Shao Jun’s acting fees for the next two years, I had Mr. Jiang draft the agreement as a personal token of gratitude and payment from Shao Jun to you."
"You can pick up that agreement from my office later."
Yan Feifan acknowledged.
As they spoke, the two walked into the center’s main building and went their separate ways to start their busy days...
Today was also the day Ya Jiaojiao was being discharged from the hospital.
The incisions on her face were still a long way from being fully healed. In fact, her face was a crisscrossing mess of bruises and swelling, making her look quite grotesque.
However, in Ya Jiaojiao’s condition, the risk of infection was low, so she was able to go home to rest and recover with medication.
Although her face looked a bit frightening at first glance, a closer inspection revealed a high-bridged nose, deep-set eyes, and full cheeks.
The definition in her facial features made her look like a completely different person.
Moreover, it was obvious that the shapes of her eyes, nose, and lips were now much more refined than before.
The more Ya Jiaojiao looked, the more she loved it.
For the past two or three days, she couldn’t resist peeling back the gauze bandages on her face to gaze at herself in the mirror...
A little after ten in the morning, Ya Jiaojiao had her final check-up and completed her discharge paperwork. She had wanted to thank Yan Feifan in person and say goodbye.
But when she learned that Yan Feifan was in surgery, she had to drop the idea.
Accompanied by her family, Ya Jiaojiao left the Plastic Surgery Center.
After walking about twenty meters from the center, she stopped and turned to look back at the dozen-story building where she had spent the last ten days.
"From now on, I’m Mr. Yan’s walking billboard."
She said it a little too loudly, which pulled at the wounds around her mouth, making her instinctively raise a hand to rub it.
Thankfully, Ya Jiaojiao stopped herself at the last second, her fingers only touching the breathable gauze around her mouth.
"Dad, Mom, let’s go!"
Ya Jiaojiao took a couple of steps, then pumped a small fist and said excitedly, "Dad, Mom, once I’m home, I’m going to lock myself away for a month. Then, I’ll throw a huge party."
"I’m going to get all dressed up and make a stunning entrance! I’ll show all those people..."
"HISS... HISS... Ow, ow, ow..."
A little after three in the afternoon, Shao Jun’s full-facial plastic surgery concluded the moment Yan Feifan set down his instruments.
Yan Feifan glanced at the numbers on the monitor. Seeing no abnormalities, he prepared to leave.
"Mr. Yan..."
Meng Yao called out to him. "My husband and I are incredibly grateful that you took the trouble to come in last night."
"If you don’t have any plans tonight, we’d like to treat you to..."
Yan Feifan cut her off with a wave of his hand. "It was nothing. There’s no need."
He added with a laugh, "Your cousin was already pretty ugly to begin with. If his face got scarred up, he’d probably have a hard time finding a girlfriend."
"If he wants a complete cosmetic overhaul, he can come find me."
Meng Yao gave an awkward smile and mumbled, "For guys, as long as they’re capable and have a good personality, being a little ugly doesn’t matter."
Ye Lin chimed in, "Chief, getting a full-facial reconstruction from you probably costs as much as an apartment now, right?"
"And if you can afford an apartment here in Binhai, you don’t have to worry about finding a wife, do you?"
Yan Feifan, who was in a good mood, bantered, "Well, if someone wanted to marry a girl like you, I’m sure it would take more than just one apartment, right?"
Ye Lin giggled. "Chief, it depends on who it is! If it’s someone I like and he’s driven, I’d even be willing to be the one paying."
"Chief, if you meet anyone suitable, remember to set me up."
"No problem!"
Yan Feifan agreed readily and left the operating room...
At 3:40 p.m., while on his way to the library, Yan Feifan received a call from his uncle.
"Meet to talk? What’s so important we have to discuss it in person?"
A terrible feeling crept over Yan Feifan, and he asked urgently, "Uncle, don’t tell me you relapsed again, did you?"
"I’m warning you..."
"It’s not that, it’s something else!"
His uncle interrupted huffily over the phone, "Is that what you think of me? That I’m the kind of person who can’t control himself?"
"I’m in your office at the Little Red House right now. If you’re not busy, get back here."
Glancing at the library, which was now just a stone’s throw away, Yan Feifan sighed in resignation and turned back toward the Little Red House.
When he returned to his office, he found his uncle sitting on the sofa with a grim expression. Yan Feifan urged impatiently, "Uncle, hurry up and tell me. What is it?"
"As long as you haven’t relapsed, anything else can be dealt with."
His uncle, Shu Lei, shot him a sideways glance. "Feifan, you said that yourself. Just make sure you don’t get angry."
"Just spit it out!" Yan Feifan was growing impatient.
Shu Lei said slowly, "I got a call from your father."
"He’s been keeping an eye on you. He knows you’ve become a brilliant doctor, and he’s very relieved and happy."
Yan Feifan said sarcastically, "When I was in a vegetative state, he never showed up, nor did he ever call my sister."
"And now he suddenly calls."
"Is he terminally ill and about to die, or is his wife on her last legs?"
"Yan Feifan..."
Shu Lei said in a heavy voice, "No matter how you look at it, he’s still your father. And you can’t put all the blame on him for what happened back then."
"I don’t have a father like that!"
Yan Feifan retorted defiantly and sat down on the sofa.
Shu Lei sighed softly. "Well... I told you last time, didn’t I? That... um..."
"His son... he got into Bin University Medical College too."
"He knows he wronged you and Ruoruo. He hopes you won’t take out that grudge on an innocent person."
Yan Feifan couldn’t help but let out a dry laugh. "So that’s it. I was wondering why you’d come looking for me out of the blue."
"Turns out he’s worried I’ll go after his precious son."
"You know, now that he’s mentioned it, he’s actually given me the idea. With the influence I have now, I could easily make sure he fails every class and gets expelled. I could definitely make that happen."
Shu Lei said softly, "Feifan, I know you’ve always been kind-hearted. You’re not that kind of person, or you wouldn’t have become a doctor."
Yan Feifan snorted heavily. "Uncle, people change. I’m a lot more ruthless and cold-hearted now."
Shu Lei smiled. "The way I see it, you’re still the same person you’ve always been."
"There is one more thing..."
Shu Lei heaved a long sigh. "There’s also... Rong Bin, the man I once considered a good friend. His family found me."
"They begged and pleaded, hoping you would agree to treat Rong Bin..."
Yan Feifan’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Uncle, you agreed? ’Repay injury with kindness’—then what will you use to repay kindness?"
