My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 846: Chapter 846: 517 is My Assistant

However, others clearly didn’t anticipate that Lu Lingche had come to the hospital to pursue a girl, instead assuming he was there for treatment, and they began to speculate about what disease the young and wealthy heir of a rich family might have contracted.

Some had even uploaded a video of Lu Lingche’s visit to the hospital onto the internet, along with a highly provocative title: “Shengling Group CEO Seriously Ill and Hospitalized!”

The video immediately sparked all sorts of speculation, some guessing he was there for a minor ailment check-up, while others speculated he may not be ill at all and was simply visiting an ailing elder, given that the Old Madam of Lu Family was of advanced age and had a history of several hospitalizations due to heart palpitations.

There were also those who speculated he had some terminal illness, reasoning that with the Lu Family’s resources, they surely had a family doctor, and only a serious condition would necessitate hospital treatment as minor issues could be addressed at home.

Of course, there were also those who criticized the video’s creator, pointing out that Lu Lingche had entered the hospital with steady steps, and the videographer not only filmed him without permission but also spread rumors about his grave illness, which was highly irresponsible.

Lu Lingche was unaware of all this and had taken his assistant to Qiao Yin’s office, only to find that she wasn’t there.

After inquiring with a nurse, the assistant learned that she had gone to perform acupuncture on a vegetative patient.

So, Lu Lingche headed straight to the patient’s ward.

However, upon opening the door to the ward, he saw not only Qiao Yin and a vegetative person but also a man leaning on crutches.

The man had severe facial disfigurement, was extremely emaciated, and one of his legs was shorter than the other, so he had to rely on his crutches to maintain balance.

This was someone Lu Lingche had seen before.

When Qiao Yin previously treated vegetative patients, he had been by her side, and he held a faint memory of this disfigured person.

Unexpectedly, he had been awakened by Qiao Yin’s care.

What was even more surprising was that he seemed to be following Qiao Yin around, acting as if he were her subordinate.

Lu Lingche felt some discomfort in his heart. He was uncomfortable with any man getting close to Qiao Yin, even if that man was disfigured.

When Qiao Yin saw Lu Lingche enter, she frowned slightly, “What are you doing here? Get out. I am treating a patient, and you can’t be spectating.”

Lu Lingche’s face turned two degrees colder, “When you treated patients before, you never barred me from watching. There’s more than just me spectating here, so why are you only driving me out?”

Qiao Yin glared at him and pointed to the man with the number 517, “He is my assistant, of course, he can watch. You can’t.”

“Assistant? Him?”

Lu Lingche’s expression grew even colder, “Why do you need an assistant who has just awakened from a vegetative state not long ago? Looking for more troubles? Taking on a burden?”

Qiao Yin unconsciously glanced at number 517, worried he would be hurt by such words, but number 517 showed little reaction, just quietly observing Lu Lingche, his scarred face devoid of any expression.

However, his facial skin was too severely damaged, and it was likely that he couldn’t make any refined expressions even if he wanted to.

Anxious that Lu Lingche might say something else hurtful, Qiao Yin temporarily halted the treatment and pulled Lu Lingche out of the ward, taking him to her own office.

“President Lu, please be mindful of your words. Knowing that patient 517 has only recently regained consciousness, how could you speak so offensively? What if you agitate him? I’ve worked so hard for so long to finally bring him around. Can’t you respect my labor results and my patient?”

Lu Lingche’s demeanor remained indifferent, “What I said is the truth. Having him as an assistant is indeed adding a burden to yourself. If I’m not mistaken, he lost his memory after waking up, right? That’s why he’s been living in your hospital, not going home. A person with no memory and a weakened body, if not a burden, what is he? What help can he provide you? More likely, he’s just creating trouble.”
