Chapter 15 - A clichéd encounter

"Miss Divine Doctor, please have mercy!" The Du couple's attitude was almost humble and flattering, which was eye-popping. In Shanghai, the Du family has always been domineering, but have you ever seen them being so humble? However, Xia Zhuozhuo's eyes were still as firm as before, without any wavering. She had made up her mind, and no one could change it. "The opportunity is in front of you, but you didn't seize it, so you can't blame others." After saying that, she ignored the two people's pleas and continued to move forward. There were many people who asked her to treat their illnesses, and her practice of medicine was based on fate. Obviously, she had no fate with the Du family. Just at this moment, a luxury car slowly drove into the gate of the community. The car window slowly lowered, and Du Haoran looked at his parents chasing a ragged man with a puzzled look. He quickly signaled the driver to stop the car and hurriedly got out to ask. "Dad, Mom, why are you chasing a beggar?" Du Zhengguo glared at his son. "What beggar? This is the miracle doctor girl we found with great difficulty!" "What...?" Du Haoran was stunned and looked at Xia Zhuozhuo in astonishment. Looking closely, he found that her temperament was indeed different. Although her clothes were shabby and her coat was covered with dust, her eyes were like pearls in the dust, shining and could not be ignored. Du Haoran apologized quickly. "Miss Miracle Doctor, I'm really sorry, I was blind..." "It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't plan to treat your family." She saw through it. The Du family, from top to bottom, judged people by appearance. She never liked such arrogant and rude people. Du Haoran frowned. "Why?" "Why? You should ask your parents." Du Zhengguo and his wife looked embarrassed. It was Mrs. Du who quickly explained. After learning what happened, Du Haoran finally understood why his parents chased her. "How much do you want for the consultation? Our Du family can afford it." His attitude was arrogant, not like he was begging for help. "Sorry, I'm not short of money." Xia Zhuozhuo replied coldly, turning to leave. Their family lacked medical care and medicine, but she never lacked "patients"! When had Du Haoran ever been treated like this? He said angrily: "You are not short of money, so you are immoral?" Xia Zhuozhuo paused and looked at Du Haoran coldly. "What did you say?" Du Haoran snorted coldly. "I said you are immoral, lacking medical ethics. As a doctor, saving the dying and the wounded is your duty. Just because we recognized the wrong person, you refused to treat the disease and save people. Let me ask, are you such an arrogant person, still worthy of being called a doctor?" Xia Zhuozhuo narrowed her eyes unhappily. Du Haoran was nakedly kidnapping morality! However, she happened to have no morality, so no one could kidnap her with this. She suddenly raised her lips and sneered. "Yes, I am not worthy of being a doctor, let alone treating the people in your family." After saying that, she walked out with big strides. Seeing this, Du Haoran narrowed his eyes and suddenly ordered: "Catch her! Don't let her leave until Grandpa's illness is cured!" If soft tactics don't work, then use hard tactics! He just doesn't believe that she dares not to treat the knife on her neck? Several bodyguards immediately rushed forward and surrounded Xia Zhuozhuo. There was no fear in Xia Zhuozhuo's eyes. These people were not her opponents at all. Just as she was about to take action, a low and magnetic voice suddenly sounded- "What is Mr. Du doing?" Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, and Xia Zhuozhuo was no exception. I saw a handsome man getting off the car before. He was tall and straight, and his shadow left a long trail on the ground, just extending to Xia Zhuozhuo's feet. He was well-dressed, with his suit jacket buttoned neatly, and he had a strong aura in every move. Her professional instinct told her that this man was of great importance. The Du family and his wife both showed a look of fear and respect. "Master Si..." Xia Zhuozhuo raised his eyebrows slightly. Master Si? The Si family, China's leading business tycoon, with industries in all walks of life, whose footsteps would shake China's economy? But she remembered that the young master of the Si family did not look like this person. Once, the young master of the Si family also extended an olive branch to her, wanting to recruit her. He was a hypocrite who was two-faced, and she would never remember the wrong person. So who was this young master in front of her? But none of this mattered. What mattered was the other party's position. If he also stood on the side of the Du family, she would not show mercy to him regardless of whether he was from the Si family in Kyoto or not! While Xia Zhuozhuo was looking at Si Shenxing, Si Shenxing was also looking at her. Inexplicably, he felt that the woman in front of him was particularly familiar. As if he had seen her somewhere before. However, he, who always had a photographic memory, could not remember where he had seen her. But that sense of familiarity made him ask involuntarily: "Have we met before?" Such a clichéd opening! "Sorry, I don't know you." The girl's cold voice brought Si Shenxing back to reality. His words just now were a bit abrupt. Si Shenxing quickly regained his usual calm demeanor. "I remembered it wrong, sorry." "Master Si..." Du Zhengguo stepped forward and said, "If I had known you were coming, my family would have prepared fragrant tea. Please move..." If it is said that the Du family has the final say in Shanghai, then the entire Chinese business world is controlled by the Si family. He didn't want Si Shenxing to see them forcing a woman to treat the old man. But it was too late. Si Shenxing had already witnessed the shamelessness of the Du family, trying to use force to force a weak woman to do something she didn't want to do. He ignored Du Zhengguo's invitation and walked a few steps to Xia Zhuozhuo. His deep eyes looked directly into her eyes. "You are the famous doctor girl in Kyoto, right?" Although he knew that the doctor was still young, he never expected... to be so petite. Xia Zhuozhuo did not deny it and nodded gently: "It's me." Si Shenxing's thin lips rose slightly, and there was a hint of sincerity in his voice: "I have heard of the name of the doctor girl for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet her. I am fortunate to meet you today. I wonder if I can ask the doctor girl to help my father?" "My father?" Xia Zhuozhuo raised her eyebrows slightly. "That's right. My father was suddenly attacked by a disease a few days ago. Although he has been out of danger temporarily, his condition is still erratic..." Si Shenxing said this, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Du Haoran and Du Zhengguo, "Some people are unwilling to treat each other with courtesy and sincerely invite Miss Divine Doctor, but I am willing. As long as Miss Divine Doctor nods, I will immediately arrange a private plane to welcome you to Kyoto with the most solemn etiquette." When Si Shenxing said this, Du Zhengguo's face suddenly changed. He glared at Du Haoran fiercely, cursing in his heart: This guy who is more likely to cause trouble than to do good! He didn't even think about it, how can he rob people by force? This Divine Doctor is a member of the Anbu! Du Haoran also didn't expect that Si Shenxing would be so direct to "rob people", and he was so obviously protecting Xia Zhuozhuo. Seeing Du Zhengguo use his eyes to warn Du Haoran not to make trouble again, he changed to a smiling face and approached Xia Zhuozhuo and Si Shenxing. "Master Si, Miss Divine Doctor, you two must have misunderstood! Our Du family is willing to ask Miss Divine Doctor to help. As long as Miss Divine Doctor is willing to treat my father, I am willing to pay three times the original price. And, I promise that from now on, everyone in the Du family will respect Miss Divine Doctor!" Xia Zhuozhuo sneered: "Just now you wanted to take me away by force, what's going on now?" Du Zhengguo hurriedly smiled and said: "It's all because of my son who is not sensible and I have no way of discipline. I will teach him a lesson in a while! Miss Divine Doctor, please be generous and don't be so petty with him..." Mrs. Du was even more direct, raising her hand and giving Du Haoran a loud slap. "Why don't you apologize to Miss Divine Doctor!" Although Du Haoran was unwilling, he also knew that the situation was serious. In the end, he walked in front of Xia Zhuozhuo, lowered his head, and apologized in a low voice: "It's all my fault, Miss Divine Doctor, please forgive me!" Xia Zhuozhuo's thoughts were spinning rapidly. How can she not make money with three times the consultation fee? Moreover, the Du family is the perfect breakthrough for her to open up the Shanghai market. After a little thought, Xia Zhuozhuo finally spoke: "Where is the patient? Take me to see him." The couple was overjoyed when they heard this. "It's my father. He is waiting at home. Please follow me, Miss Divine Doctor..." Xia Zhuozhuo followed with a blank expression. Si Shenxing stared at Xia Zhuozhuo's back with his deep eyes, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart. It was strange, he always felt that he had seen her somewhere. At this moment, Xia Zhuozhuo in front suddenly turned around and nodded to him gently. For some reason, Si Shenxing felt that the sky seemed to have become clearer today. He smiled and nodded in response, then stepped forward to follow.
