Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Chapter 20 Orphans

Zhao Meilan sobbed, her trembling voice tinged with anxiety, "I...I really know I was wrong, please let me go—ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Nan tossed her away as if she were just throwing away trash.

Then, he turned around and walked towards Jiang Mingxuan.

Having finally caught his breath and regained his composure, Jiang Mingxuan panicked upon seeing the situation. "You...you hit my mom, so you can't hit me too!"

Hearing this from a distance, Zhao Meilan was not angry at all. Instead, she quickly agreed, "That's right, that's right. If you hit me, you can't hit my Xuanxuan."

Unfortunately, faced with this grand display of maternal love and filial piety, Chu Nan uttered only two words: "Apologize."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have cursed you, and I especially shouldn't have cursed your parents. I... I know I was wrong. Brother, please don't hit me, okay?"

Jiang Mingxuan was so scared that he cried, "If... if you really have to hit me, could you... could you please not hit my face?"

Zhao Meilan's swollen, pig-like head really terrified him.

At his age, he is just the age when peacocks begin to display their plumage.

For Jiang Mingxuan, the most important thing in the world is his own face.

If my face were to be beaten up like my mother's, I'd rather kill him.

Of course, he was just as afraid of dying as he was of being disfigured.

Or rather, Jiang Mingxuan had never been as afraid of death, a concept that was so abstract and intangible to him, as he was at this moment.

After all, Chu Nan's kick just now was the first time in his life that he had personally experienced what pain was.

This was also the closest he had ever come to death in his life.

"Get out! Don't let me see you again!"

If it were before, upon hearing these words, the mother and son would have shown each other what it meant to be from a wealthy family!

But now, hearing Chu Nan's words, the two felt only relief, as if they had been granted a pardon.

Even with eyes swollen shut and unable to see the road, one can still face such a madman.

Zhao Meilan immediately helped Jiang Mingxuan up and hurriedly fled the villa.

With the two troublemakers gone, the house returned to peace.

Finally, Jiang Yingxue broke the silence first, "Dr. Chu, thank you for helping me, but you were too impulsive."

"Perhaps it's inappropriate for someone like me, the one being helped, to say such things, but knowing my second aunt's personality, she would never just accept defeat like that. She will definitely—"

"Madam, you've misunderstood."

Chu Nan interrupted Jiang Yingxue, saying, "I didn't act because of you; I did it for myself."

Jiang Yingxue clearly did not believe this. In her opinion, Chu Nan's excuse for taking action was completely untenable.

In an environment where insulting one's parents has become commonplace, how could anyone react so strongly just because their parents were insulted?

The reason Chu Nan said that was probably because he was reluctant to admit it.

If it were me, I would probably give the same answer, and maybe even add, "Don't flatter yourself."

After all, the two of them were the ones who were having a conflict before Zhao Meilan and her son stormed in.

Chu Nan saw through Jiang Yingxue's thoughts. "Ordinary people wouldn't react this strongly just because their parents are being insulted, but I would, because... I'm an orphan."

This statement was devoid of much emotion; it was as calm as if he were simply talking about what he had for breakfast.

But for Jiang Yingxue, it was like a thunderbolt striking her mind.

Because of her physiological aversion to men, she could be said to be full of prejudice against all men.

This naturally includes Chu Nan.

Especially after the contact and what I witnessed last night.

This further labeled Chu Nan as a morally corrupt lecher, which was the main reason for the conflict between the two.

When Zhao Meilan and her son were around, she was only afraid and wanted to keep the peace, so she didn't think too much about it.

Only after the farce ended did her thoughts gradually clear up, and she realized that Chu Nan had stood up for her.

Only then did she begin to change her opinion of Chu Nan, the community doctor who was highly skilled in medicine but morally corrupt.

But to my surprise, things didn't turn out the way I expected.

What was even more unexpected was that Chu Nan not only did not take the opportunity to claim credit, but instead revealed the truth of the matter.

If Jiang Yingxue's opinion only changed slightly when she realized that Chu Nan was standing up for her, then...

So, with this most ordinary yet most truthful statement uttered...

This completely shattered all the labels she had previously attached to Chu Nan.

But the reason she felt like she'd been struck by lightning was... because she was also an orphan.

Clearly, the man in front of her was not the greedy and lustful scoundrel she had imagined.

Instead, he was a pitiful person, just like himself, who had been hurt by fate.

Just as Jiang Yingxue was lost in thought, Chu Nan carried her back to her wheelchair.

Then he knelt down on one knee and began to examine the injury to his ankle.

Seeing Chu Nan's serious expression, Jiang Yingxue, who had just come to her senses, felt a sudden flutter in her heart and subconsciously wanted to refuse, "I, I'm fine—hiss!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Nan had already started massaging him.

"Your injury hadn't healed yet, and you dislocated it again after that fall. You didn't even cry out in pain the whole time. It seems that you're not as delicate as I thought."

Jiang Yingxue turned her head away without replying, partly because she felt uncomfortable, and partly because...

It wasn't that she wasn't precious; it was just that she feared Zhao Meilan's oppression more than the physical pain.

"alright."

After a massage, Chu Nan stood up. "Madam, I would like to ask for a day off."

"Ask for leave?"

Jiang Yingxue didn't know why Chu Nan suddenly brought this up.

"That's right, I'm taking leave."

Chu Nan nodded. "Of course, you've suffered new injuries before your old ones have healed, so I shouldn't leave under these circumstances. But I do have some personal matters to attend to."

"Of course, if you need any help, just give me a call, or send a text message as before, and I'll be right back."

"no problem……"

After what happened, Chu Nan really needed to rest. "Don't call me Madam anymore. Actually, I'm not that much older than you. You can call me Miss Jiang or Sister Xue."

"Okay, Miss Jiang."

Hearing Chu Nan's answer, Jiang Yingxue felt a little disappointed for some reason.

But then, the anger that Chu Nan often caused surged up instantly.

This was the first time she had ever shown kindness to a man.

Chu Nan didn't appreciate it at all.

Sure enough, even the labels I had previously attached to him were wrong.

But one thing is absolutely true: all men are bad!

Jiang Yingxue was still angry, but Chu Nan walked towards the door as if nothing had happened.

This indifferent behavior undoubtedly provoked Jiang Yingxue, who was already angry.

That damn bastard!

Even if I starve to death here today, I will never ask you for help!

She secretly vowed in her heart that she would never give Chu Nan a kind look again.
