Rebirth of the Villainess: Young Master Lu’s Wicked Wife

The next day, after picking up Xi Qian from her part-time job, the two went straight to the pharmacy to meet Han Zijun. The place was a little busy that afternoon with patrons purchasing the medicines they needed.

"Seems like Brother Han is a little busy today." Xi Qian whispered next to Su Xiaofei, while they waited at the reception area to be called by Han Zijun's assistant.

Su Xiaofei's wound had healed now and today her stitches were ready to be removed. It had caused her some discomfort over the past few days, but at least it wasn't as painful as it was when it was fresh.

"Brother Han is a busy man. It's only normal that people sought him for his medical expertise, despite the booming modern medical industry these days." She replied. "Qian, didn't you say you want to be a doctor, have you decided what you'd like to specialize in?"

"I initially wanted to be a pediatrician since I love interacting with children, but I decided, I want to learn internal medicine or become a surgeon someday." Her best friend said with a sheepish smile, as if Xi Qian was embarrassed to share her dreams with Su Xiaofei.

"What made you change your mind?" Su Xiaofei asked.

Xi Qian only smiled. The reason she changed her mind was because she didn't want to feel as helpless as she was when she couldn't help Su Xiaofei, both after she beat up the homeless man who attempted to sexually assault her and when Su Xiaofei was stabbed recently.

When she saw her best friend in such a state, injured and poisoned, Xi Qian was desperately wishing she knew what to do to ease Su Xiaofei's pain and discomfort.

"You don't have to tell me. If you are truly determined to do it, you have my support, Qian." Su Xiaofei replied, when Xi Qian didn't say anything in response.

Right then, they were called to enter Han Zijun's office. The thirty year old man was furrowing his brows, muttering something incoherent to himself when the two young women entered his office.

"Brother Han." Su Xiaofei called out, pulling his attention.

"Ah, Miss Su. Forgive me for the mess. Please take a seat. Let me just deal with this paperwork first." The man hurriedly tidied up his desk and mumbled to himself how he needed someone to help him organize his stuff.

Su Xiaofei only smiled while Xi Qian blinked, wondering how busy a man could get for him to get such a huge pile of paperwork that needed his attention.

"So, Miss Su, have you had any fever or pain since your last visit here?" Han Zijun asked once he settled on his seat, glancing at the two young women in front of him. "Oh, you didn't come with your boyfriend today."

That immediately changed Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian's expression. Su Xiaofei tried to fight the blush that was threatening to bloom on her face by forcing a smile on her face while Xi Qian looked suspiciously at her best friend.

"Brother Han knows how to joke. Xiao Feng isn't with me today because he already has a prior appointment." Su Xiaofei said.

"I see." Han Zijun nodded. "Then please lie down on the bed and let me remove the stitches and clean your wound."

Su Xiaofei removed her coat and left it with Xi Qian along with their belongings. She took a deep breath and laid down on the bed, lifting her shirt a little to allow Han Zijun to cut the stitches, pulling out the thread from it. She thought that it would be painful, but was surprised when she only felt a tug on her skin.

"Your wound is healing well, Miss Su. And this is the special topical ointment you requested on your last visit. Just as I said previously, you must diligently apply it on top of your wound to stop it from scarring. It might take some time to see results, so don't panic if you can't see any difference soon." Han Zijun said, before pushing a small container towards Su Xiaofei once she was seated next to Xi Qian again.

"Thank you, Brother Han." Su Xiaofei politely thanked him. "By the way, I'm ready to give my reply to Master Ouyang's invitation. My mother has just agreed to it." She then scribbled her number on a piece of paper and gave it to Han Zijun.

"This is my number. They can contact and inform me anytime once they decide when we should meet."

"Alright. Master Ouyang should be here tonight. I'll pass your answer to him." The doctor then pinned the paper on a corkboard next to him.

"Brother Han, what's General Yun like? Although he's my grandfather, I've never had the chance to meet him before." Su Xiaofei asked him. If Master Ouyang frequently visited here, there's also a possibility that Old Master Yun was also familiar with this place.

"Oh, he's a man of principle and is known to have an iron fist not only towards his subordinates, but also towards his children. I had a brief encounter with him when I was still an apprentice of my uncle. You see, Miss Su, this place is originally owned by my uncle who took me in when I was younger. He has a lot of VIP patients and that includes your grandfather."

"I see.." Su Xiaofei sighed inwardly. It seemed like she couldn't dig up any information about the old man.

When they stepped out of the pharmacy, they were greeted by Su Xiaofei's new bodyguards. One was a man, the other was a woman. Xi Qian had seen them earlier, but she wasn't sure if they were replacements for Feifei's previous bodyguards.

"Aunty Qing finally replaced your bodyguards?" Xi Qian asked. Ever since Su Xiaofei was stabbed, her two previous useless bodyguards had been terminated by Yun Qingrong.

"No. Xiao Feng offered these two as my temporary bodyguards." Su Xiaofei answered her.
