From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 558: 267 Brushing Shoulders (First Update)

Bo Yuxun gave a faint “uh-huh” without revealing any emotions, making it hard to guess his thoughts.

At this moment, He Xiaoyun rushed over with some people: “Dr. Bo, hello, I am a reporter from The People Magazine, He Xiaoyun. We have learned of your return to the country and our magazine would like to do an exclusive interview with you. It won’t take up too much of your time…”

Bo Yuxun waited for the other party to finish speaking before saying: “I’m sorry, I don’t accept any interviews.”

With that, he walked away with long strides, disappearing into the crowd.

Bo Lianye hurriedly jogged to catch up.

Bo Yujiang, who had been left behind, pursed her lips with a slightly stiff expression and chased after them.

He Xiaoyun and the photographer were left standing in the wind.

With Dr. Bo’s good looks and temperament, he would be a perfect star, but he doesn’t rely on his appearance to make a living. With his achievements in his field, he might only lack marketing and promotion. Otherwise, there would be no need for other celebrities in the entertainment industry.

If they could get him to do an exclusive interview for this issue of The People Magazine, it would definitely create a huge buzz in the industry. Unfortunately, Dr. Bo was too detached.

As Bo Yuxun took long strides, Bo Lianye couldn’t catch up with her little jog and couldn’t help but shout: “Uncle, wait for me…”

Ming Jing frowned and walked forward a few steps against the crowd.

Bo Yuxun suddenly stopped and instinctively turned around.

The airport hall was bustling as the announcer’s sweet and standard English filled every corner.

People came and went in the light and shadow, blurred and vague, but that one dazzling white figure moved through the flow of time, gradually getting further away.

What came into view was a woman with a delicate and gentle face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and apricot eyes with peach cheeks – a classical and tender appearance.

Bo Yuxun’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Bo Lianye’s curious voice came from beside him: “Uncle, what are you looking at? Are you waiting for auntie?”

Bo Yujiang walked towards them, and she too thought that Bo Yuxun had suddenly stopped to wait for her.

It seemed that he wasn’t as indifferent as he appeared.

Bo Yuxun didn’t explain, simply saying: “You two go back first, I’ll go to the hospital.”

Without waiting for their response, he walked out and hailed a taxi, leaving them in his wake.

Bo Lianye chased after him only to get a mouthful of exhaust.

“Uncle has become so unfamiliar, so different from the smiling and sunny uncle I remember,” Bo Lianye said somewhat wistfully.

Bo Yujiang sighed softly: “Does my second brother not like me anymore?”

“How could that be? Auntie, you’re worrying too much. No one in this world has a closer relationship than the two of you. Uncle has just returned to the country and may not have fully adjusted yet, things will get better. Let’s go home first, so we don’t keep Granny waiting.”

It seemed that their uncle was a workaholic, as he went to the hospital first instead of going home upon returning to the country.

Ming Jing stood at the exit, and after a short while, a man in neutral clothing walked out.

Upon seeing Ming Jing, he immediately rushed over and gave her a big hug.

“My little Ming Jing, I’ve missed you so much.”

Surrounding people looked at them with strange eyes, as if saying: It’s like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung.

“Alright, let’s go back to the hotel first.”

Zheng Qing reluctantly let go of Ming Jing and pinched her cheek: “You’ve gotten thinner, and your face can’t hold two ounces of flesh; it makes me heartbroken.”

Ming Jing raised the back of her hand to wipe her face.

The two walked out of the airport side by side, with the sky adorned with stars and the moon, the sparse lights around them accompanying the hurried passers-by, and the cold wind facing them.

Zheng Qing stretched out his arms and took a deep breath.

“Jingzhou, I’m back.”

Ming Jing looked at the stars and moon in the sky, the night breeze lifting her skirt, her voice cool like the night, chilling to the bone.

“In the revolving world, the sky and the earth are still here, the moon remains unchanged yet people are different from yesterday…”

Under this starry sky, people come and go, experiencing countless joys and sorrows, bitterness and sweetness that are impossible to express.

“No more sentimentality, let’s go have fun.”

Ming Jing shook her head, brushing off the hand that had been placed on her shoulder: “It’s late, let’s go back to the hotel and rest.”

Zheng Qing shook his head: “The night is short, and we shouldn’t waste it like this.”

State Medical College, as the top-ranking tertiary A hospital in Jingzhou and even in the country, is always crowded.In winter, it gets dark early. Before 7pm, it is already starry and the lights casted shadows.

In the dean’s office, an elderly man over the age of 60 with reading glasses on his nose was writing a meeting report when the door was knocked.

“Come in.”

A shadow loomed overhead, and Dean Xu spoke without looking up, “What’s the matter?”

“Dean Xu, I’m here to report to the hospital.”

This voice… Dean Xu suddenly looked up, and the pupils behind his glasses shrank in surprise.

The pen in his hand fell on the table with a “clatter”, and the nib slid across the paper, drawing a winding curve.

“Yu… Yuxun? Weren’t you going to visit Madam first?”

Bo Yuxun had arrived in the country on a flight this afternoon, but wasn’t he supposed to go home first?

After all, he had been away from home for so many years, and Granny Bo had been eagerly awaiting his return.

Bo Yuxun’s expression remained unchanged, “I’ll complete the onboarding procedures first, and officially start work tomorrow.”

“Do you want to rest for a couple of days first?”

This seems too rushed.

“No need.”

Dean Xu coughed, “Alright, but it’s too late for the onboarding procedure today. The HR department is already off-duty. You can do it tomorrow morning. Have you had dinner yet?”

Bo Yuxun shook his head.

“It just so happens that I haven’t had dinner either. Some of our hospital leaders have been curious about you for a long time. This is a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other. I’ll make a call. Shuhua is on duty tonight, he will be very happy to know that you’re back.”

Bo Yuxun said, “I’ll take a look around the department.”

Dean Xu nodded, and after Bo Yuxun left, he sighed, “This kid is so career-oriented, really dedicated.”

———-

The cardiology department was quiet, with two nurses each busy at the nurse’s station.

Bo Yuxun saw a patient record on the table and picked it up to flip through it.

A round-faced nurse saw him, quickly grabbed the record, and nearly lost her footing when she looked up at his face.

She angrily pinched her colleague’s arm.

The colleague who was just bent over winced in pain and glared at her, “What are you doing?”

Seeing that her gaze was fixed in one direction, she subconsciously followed her colleague’s stare.

The overhead lights suddenly seemed a bit dazzling under the dark clouds.

The man was tall and thin, wearing a black coat. His skin was very white, almost translucent enough to see the faint purple capillaries in the texture. The gray high-collared sweater framed his chin, which was devoid of any stubble.

A few strands of broken hair fell over his forehead, and under his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of deep starry eyes. They were pitch-black and serene, giving off an indifferent and aloof air when looking at people. Upon closer inspection, it seem that those eyes held much vicissitude and melancholy. Having experienced thexa0world’s trials, it was finally transformed into maturity and composure in his every move.

This handsome, matured man with a hint of melancholy was charming down to his hair strands.

The two young nurses were captivated by his presence.

Bo Yuxun furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, tapping his fingers lightly on the counter, “Where is Dr. Xu?”

The round-faced nurse snapped to her senses first, stuttering, “Dr. Xu… Dr. Xu is in the office… He’s on duty tonight…”

The man nodded and walked toward the depths of the ward.

The doctor’s office was just around the corner in the depths of the ward.

The two nurses stared at the man’s tall and slender figure, entranced, “He’s so handsome, so handsome. Is he a movie star?”

“He must be Dr. Xu’s friend. Dr. Xu hid such an extraordinary friend, and no one knew about it.”

The round-faced nurse named Qi Ka, touched the patient’s record that the man had just picked up, and smiled foolishly, “He has a pair of hands as beautiful as art, he must be a pianist. I can’t imagine those hands being covered in dust.”

As he walked past a ward, Bo Yuxun suddenly stopped.

“Doctor… My… my back hurts, it’s unbearable.” A weak voice from a patient came through.

“Let me see. Don’t worry, it’s just a slightly high blood pressure. The Radiology Department is already off duty and you can’t have an examination. I think it’s psychological. Go to bed early.” A young woman’s voice came from inside. The ward door opened, and a young woman in a white coat walked out.

The woman had blond hair draped over her shoulders, and her face was adorned with heavy makeup, her eyeliner soaring to the corners of her eyes. Her lipstick was so bright it looked like a gaping bloody gash. As she walked out, a strong scent of perfume wafted towards them.
