Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 65 Ling Shan's Mismatched Matchmaking

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Bai Wei quickly withdrew her outstretched hand, casually lowering her head and brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

She couldn't understand why someone would suddenly come to the consultation room at this time.

I just had surgery, and the outpatient clinic isn't even open yet.

But since he's here, he must have something urgent to do. Zhuo Tong is also looking at reports, so let him in first.

"Please come in."

Zhuo Lingshan walked in with a big bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket in her hand, beaming with joy.

Upon seeing an unfamiliar face, Bai Wei's eyes revealed curiosity and doubt.

But I always felt that face looked familiar, but I couldn't recognize it no matter where I had seen it before.

"Brother, I bought the flowers you asked me to give to Dr. Bai, and I even added a fruit basket..."

Zhuo Lingshan quickly walked to Bai Wei, placed the fruit basket on the ground, and handed the flowers to Bai Wei:

"Thank you, Dr. Bai. You are a great benefactor to our family."

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down when tears welled up in her eyes.

Fortunately, Bai Wei was fully focused and quickly supported her with her hand.

"You're too kind, it's my pleasure."

Although she maintained her icy demeanor towards outsiders, her mind couldn't help but wander:
"No wonder she looked so familiar, it's Zhuo Tong's sister, and that bouquet of flowers..."

"Is this a gift from him?"

Zhuo Tong dragged over a stool, Bai Wei took the flowers and placed them aside, then helped the wailing Zhuo Lingshan sit down.

The latter took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Bai Wei's waist and began to cry:
"The only people in this world who will love me besides my brother are my mother."

"Waaah... If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a mother anymore..."

Looking at Zhuo Lingshan crying like a child, Bai Wei felt a dull pain in her heart, as if it were being pierced by a needle.

But I've never had this feeling before.

There have been cases where patients' families were moved to tears of gratitude after successfully completing their surgeries.

I've also seen children who could only witness their parents die in pain, experiencing a sense of helplessness and despair as if their world had collapsed.

But why? Why do I feel this way?

Is this the word the teacher mentioned—empathy?
However, she didn't have time to think about it right now, otherwise Zhuo Lingshan would have soaked her white coat with tears.

"Alright, Lingshan, stop bothering Dr. Bai."

Zhuo Tong gently patted Zhuo Lingshan's head, helping Bai Wei out of the predicament.

"Waaah... Brother, do you think there are any other people in this world as good as Dr. Bai?"

"Are you stupid? Of course there are! Look at your brother, isn't he?"

Zhuo Lingshan couldn't help but chuckle, and the originally tense atmosphere in the consultation room gradually became more relaxed.

Even the corners of Bai Wei's mouth, which were hidden by her short hair, slightly curved upwards.

Zhuo Lingshan was about to wipe away her tears with her sleeve, but Bai Wei stopped her by grabbing her hand.
"Your sleeves aren't clean, use this."

As she spoke, she took a sterile medical paper towel from her desk.

First, use your left hand to tuck Zhuo Lingshan's hair behind her ear, then lift her chin with one finger and gently wipe away the tears on her cheeks and around her eyes with a sterile tissue in your right hand.

Throughout the entire process, Zhuo Lingshan kept her eyes fixed on Bai Wei's dark and deep eyes, not daring to move a muscle or even breathe loudly.

"What a beautiful older sister..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"N-nothing." Bai Wei threw the sterile paper into the medical waste bin before sitting back down in her chair.

"Miss Zhuo, why don't you take a look too?"

She wanted to give the document to Zhuo Lingshan, but Zhuo Tong handed it to her while she was speaking.

After she finished reading it, she gave a brief verbal explanation of the situation, and the meeting finally came to an end.

Before leaving, Zhuo Lingshan mysteriously took out her phone, handed it to Bai Wei from under the table, and whispered:

"Dr. Bai, can we add each other as friends?"

“My brother is difficult to communicate with. You can tell me about my mother.”

Although Bai Wei didn't understand why she said that, she felt that there were not many obstacles in communicating with Zhuo Tong, except for the slight unpleasantness yesterday.

However, as the patient's attending physician, and since the other party was a family member of the patient, adding them as a friend was harmless, so he agreed.

After the application was approved, Zhuo Lingshan stared at her phone and grinned foolishly. It wasn't until Zhuo Tong patted her on the head that she snapped out of her daze.
"Let's go, don't keep Dr. Bai from resting. He just finished a five-hour surgery."

"Okay, okay, we won't bother Dr. Bai any longer. My brother and I will be going now, bye-bye~"

Bai Wei did not respond, but simply nodded slightly.

As soon as she stepped out of the consultation room, Zhuo Lingshan put her hands on her hips, stood tall and proud, as if she were proudly showing off to Zhuo Tong.

"See? I'm thoughtful enough, aren't I? I bought not only flowers but also fruit."

"How dare you bring this up?"

Zhuo Tong didn't continue speaking, but turned her head to make sure the clinic door was tightly closed.

After walking a while longer, Bai Wei didn't suddenly chase after him with anything to add, so he gave his sister a light tap on the forehead.

"I don't know how to buy flowers, fine, but how come you don't even know how to pick them?"

Covering her reddened forehead with her hand, Zhuo Lingshan pouted and said in a wronged tone:

"What's wrong? My flowers are so pretty! They're pink and delicate, with a hint of white."

“You could send carnations, lilies, sunflowers, or orchids, but what you bought are roses.”

Zhuo Lingshan immediately looked at Zhuo Tong with a resentful gaze:

"Brother, you said you didn't know how to pick flowers, how come you know so much about them? Could it be that you've actually had a girlfriend but kept it a secret from me?"

The words that were about to come out suddenly caught in her throat. Zhuo Tong then continued without blushing or skipping a beat:

"Your brother is such a pure person. He only cares about making money for the family. He was also an excellent student with outstanding grades during his school years. Where would he find the time to date?"

To everyone's surprise, Zhuo Lingshan chuckled and whispered in Zhuo Tong's ear after hearing what he said.

She whispered something in a way that only the two of them could hear, and simultaneously showed him her phone:

"Look, bro, I got Dr. Bai's WeChat for you. Dr. Bai is beautiful, kind, and has a cool personality. She's a doctor at a big hospital, so she must be very rich!"

"Go away, you've never even been in a relationship yourself, yet you're trying to play matchmaker. I'm a career-oriented man, making money is the most important thing for me."

Zhuo Lingshan snorted and put her phone away.
"If you won't pursue her, I will! She's such a beautiful doctor, I can't bear to see her being bullied by a jerk... Oh dear!"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhuo Tong flicked her forehead again.

"Why don't you go and see if they're interested in dating?"

"Indeed, Dr. Bai has such an icy beauty about her, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of her."

Zhuo Lingshan sighed and left the cardiology department, unaware that inside the consultation room, Bai Wei stared blankly at the entire bouquet of flowers, her phone displaying the results of a photo recognition exercise—

Roses symbolize love, beauty, faith, passion, and eternity.
