    Chapter 120: Preparing for Surgery

    Mrs. Gu couldn’t bear to be the villain who breaks up a couple. After realizing that Chu Zhaoyi didn’t have any romantic feelings for her son, she allowed them to continue living together.

    In reality, she was conflicted. She couldn’t bear to see her son lose his love, but she also felt obligated to play the role of the cruel match-breaker.

    It was giving her a terrible headache.

    She had a headache, and Gu Yusen’s was even worse.

    The next day, he took Chu Zhaoyi back home. The Xie family wanted to invite Chu Zhaoyi to their house, but Chu Zhaoyi was a bit tired. Spending long periods in unfamiliar environments made him uncomfortable.

    Although he was much better than when he first met Gu Yusen.

    Psychological therapy had decreased from three times a week to twice a week, and now once a week was fine.

    Mason said that Chu Zhaoyi’s condition was becoming increasingly stable. Gu Yusen would take him to the hospital regularly for ear check-ups, and the doctor said the recovery was good enough to prepare for surgery.

    The Gu family had already found specialists. In fact, Chu Zhaoyi’s ear condition wasn’t particularly severe; an ordinary doctor could perform the surgery. However, Gu Yusen was worried, so he sought out several specialists.

    Actually, the doctor he most wanted to hire was the best in the field, Liu Haitao—the top neurosurgeon in the country and even internationally. His research achievements and clinical experience were unmatched. He was exactly the doctor Gu Yusen wanted to get for Chu Zhaoyi.

    However, this Dr. Liu Haitao was a famous “hard bone.” Not only was his medical skill superb, but his character was also extremely arrogant. He never compromised due to power or money.

    His schedule was already full. Everyone Gu Yusen sent to negotiate was turned away, and the reply was always a cold “Sorry, my schedule is full.”

    Gu Yusen had tried to appear himself. He used the Gu family’s connections and even flew to the hospital where Liu Haitao worked, trying to move him with sincerity.

    However, Liu Haitao only gave him a faint glance, his tone calm but unquestionable: “Mr. Gu, my time is already full, and I can’t make an exception for anyone. If you really need help, you can contact my assistant to see if there are any openings in two years.”

    Almost everyone who sought him out was at their wit’s end, at a point where only he would do.

    He couldn’t turn down anyone.

    Gu Yusen had no choice but to settle for a second-best specialist.

    The Gu family was, after all, a business family. It was normal that Liu Haitao wouldn’t give them face.

    But Zhang Anru and Xie Tingyun immediately went to find this doctor after learning about Chu Zhaoyi’s situation.

    Liu Haitao didn’t have a good impression of businessmen, and he was even disgusted by them, so he didn’t give Gu Yusen face and directly refused.

    Zhang Anru was a top dancer, both domestically and internationally, who dedicated her life to dance and made significant contributions to national cultural communication. Her family had been leaders in the art world for generations, possessing a noble lineage and respected status.

    Liu Haitao might have looked down on businessmen who used any means to achieve their goals, but he was filled with admiration for artists like Zhang Anru. When Zhang Anru personally came forward to advocate for Chu Zhaoyi, Liu Haitao agreed without hesitation.

    That kind of family background…

    Liu Haitao was afraid he wouldn’t have enough time to admire her, so naturally he wouldn’t refuse.

    When he learned about the specific situation, he discovered that Zhang Anru’s patient was actually the same person as Gu Yusen’s. He sighed; he could only say it was fate.

    He did have time. He could always squeeze out a few hours to do the surgery.

    “Time can always be found,” Liu Haitao said to Zhang Anru.

    “I happen to be going to A City in a few days to perform a surgery. I can see them then and check on the patient’s condition. If there are no major issues, I’ll arrange the surgery as soon as possible.”

    Liu Haitao would be in A City in a few days for a surgery, and he would take the opportunity to see them and check on Chu Zhaoyi’s condition.

    If there were no major issues, he would schedule surgery.

    This kind of thing couldn’t be delayed, especially since Chu Zhaoyi’s ear condition had already been delayed for three years. Even if it wasn’t serious, it had been made worse by the delay.

    This was also what Gu Yusen and Zhang Anru were worried about.

    Zhang Anru breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the matter had been settled. Doctors with such great fame often had eccentric tempers, but this time it was surprisingly easy.

    Knowing that Gu Yusen was looking for a doctor, she told Gu Yusen about this matter and also needed Gu Yusen to provide Chu Zhaoyi’s medical reports from this period.

    Although Chu Zhaoyi now accepted her and Xie Yuyin, his attitude toward Xie Tingyun was still unclear. In addition, Xie Tingyun had a lot of work and was tongue-tied, unable to say a word when he saw Chu Zhaoyi.

    Zhang Anru didn’t dare to say good things about her husband for the time being.

    After all, her relationship with her son hadn’t fully recovered yet. Xie Tingyun could stay wherever was cool!
