The Tangled Webs of Heartstrings Chapter 4

Ava Su lowered her eyelashes calmly, and said calmly, "Nothing, just asking casually."

Noah Su's throat itched and he wanted to smoke but held back because he was in the room.

"I can't say I know him. I only know that he returned to the capital three years ago. Since then, the Rong family has been completely reshuffled."

Noah Su raised his chin and sneered, "The Rong family is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Aaron Rong was able to go from an inconspicuous illegitimate child to the heir to the head of the family. There are more than just means."

As the first family in the capital, the Rong family's descendants have never stopped fighting for power for decades.

It is not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other and for families to fight against each other.

Moreover, Aaron Rong had been managing Rong Group for less than three years, and the group's market value had expanded nearly tenfold under his leadership.

There is no doubt that he is an ambitious man with a cruel and aggressive temperament.

"Xi'er, don't be curious about him." Noah Su warned with a sullen look in his eyes, "You can't afford to offend this man."

For some reason, the scenes from last night came to my mind again.

Ava Su was stunned, and in her eyes, like a deer shrouded in mist, there appeared some difficult-to-determine emotions.

What if he provoked her?

Ava Su didn't say this explicitly, but Noah Su knew her too well, and a few words of conversation were enough for him to guess what she was thinking.

Noah Su took a long step forward and ruffled Ava Su's hair, his resolute face concealing a fierce look.

"If I really offend you, even if it's Aaron Rong, my second brother will not let him go."

...

In the afternoon, a white Ferrari drove out of the Su family's garage and headed straight for the Peking University Affiliated Hospital.

It was lunchtime when Ava Su came to the dean's office in the administrative building and knocked on the open door.

The white-haired old man at the desk saw her and waved, "Xiao Xi, come in quickly."

Zhao Dehan, President of Peking University Hospital and Lifetime Honorary Professor.

Ava Su sat down beside him, "Teacher, are you still busy?"

"I'm not busy. I'm looking at the cases for this afternoon's surgery." Director Zhao pointed to the CT film on the viewing light.

"Aortic dissecting aneurysm?" Ava Su held her chin and said slowly, "This major surgery is not a problem for you."

Director Zhao nodded with satisfaction, but then a look of disappointment appeared on his face. "It's a pity that I'm old now, and I don't know how many more years I can last on the operating table."

Ava Su refilled his teacup with hot water, "Teacher, you have many students all over the world, are you afraid that you won't find a successor?"

Dean Zhao sighed, "None of these young doctors and interns are as qualified as you. I am really worried."

Hearing this, Ava Su chuckled at herself, "I am not as good as them now."

"Nonsense." Dean Zhao slammed the table and said coldly, "If you weren't graduating next month, I would hope you would come to work in the hospital tomorrow."

Ava Su was stunned and a little helpless, "When did I say I would come to work?"

Dean Zhao said confidently, "Where else do you want to go? I have already informed Peking University. Once you officially register, you can choose any department you want."

"teacher."

Ava Su stared at Dean Zhao and spoke slowly and clearly, "A surgeon who can't perform surgery is meaningless."

Dean Zhao was speechless.

After a long while, he closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "Xiao Xi, just think of it as the teacher trying to make it up to you. If I hadn't suggested it three years ago, you wouldn't have joined MSF, let alone..."

"It's my own decision. It has nothing to do with you." Ava Su didn't want to say more on this topic, and said, "As for the work, I will think about it carefully."

Dean Zhao waved his hand and said, "Well, don't rush to decide. Tell me when you have made up your mind."

After lunch break, Ava Su said goodbye to Dean Zhao and left the office.

Looking at the closed door, Dean Zhao's old face finally revealed an unconcealable regret.

The Doctors Without Borders team that rushed to the border three years ago consisted of twenty members from different countries.

But in the end, except Ava Su, everyone died in an explosion and no one survived.

The only person who survived will never be able to pick up a scalpel again.

Tendon, blood vessels and nerve rupture.

For a talented surgeon, it was a devastating blow.

No one knows what Ava Su went through in that lucky yet unfortunate accident.

...

Ava Su parked her car in the hospital's internal parking space. At this time, there were few people around.

She fished out her keys from her bag and caught a glimpse of the business car next to her, which seemed to be shaking slightly.

If she was seeking excitement, Ava Su would never have looked at it twice, but she clearly heard the sound of someone tapping on the window from inside the car, mixed with a vague cry for help.

"Is there anyone... help me..."

Ava Su walked to the side of the business car. The dark window made it impossible to see the scene inside. She was about to knock on the window but suddenly stopped.

The consciousness of saving people has long become a physical instinct, but in fact, she has never been a person with excessive compassion.

Good intentions do not necessarily bring good rewards, and may even cost someone’s life.

She had learned this lesson deeply.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no other sound in the car.

Ava Su's eyes turned slightly cold, and he immediately turned around and took out a window breaker from his sports car.

A moment later, the crisp sound of glass shattering echoed throughout the underground garage.

The hospital's emergency department is always busy.

The incandescent light above was blindingly bright. Ava Su stood in the aisle leaning against the wall. His thin figure was out of place with the surroundings.

This scene, like a faded silent film shot, was reflected in Aaron Rong's eyes.

He slowed down his pace and walked over. Their eyes met, and a hint of surprise flashed across Ava Su's face.

She stood up and took a step to the side. In Aaron Rong's opinion, this action clearly meant that she didn't want to see him.

The man raised his hand to his forehead, "Ava Su."

Ava Su didn't say anything, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"You saved the old lady?"

The person rescued from the car by Ava Su was an elderly man in his seventies who had previously suffered cardiac arrest.

But she never expected that the other person was Aaron Rong's grandmother.

Ava Su had heard her father mention that the old lady of the Rong family was very famous when she was young.

She controls the largest shareholding in the Rong Group, is a leader in the business world, and is decisive and resolute. Even most men are in awe of her.

Now, he was trapped in the car and almost died.

"I just happened to be passing by." Ava Su's expression was calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant. "I will compensate you for the cost of repairing the car."

Aaron Rong lowered his head and looked at her, the corners of his lips casually curved with a hint of coldness, "I'm short of money?"

I just can't wait to draw a line between myself and him.

Just then, the door of the emergency room opened and a male doctor wearing glasses walked towards them.

Ava Su nodded politely, "Director Noah Su."

Liam Noah Su is the deputy director of the emergency department and was also a student of Dean Zhao in his early years, so the two are familiar with each other.

"The patient suffered a sudden myocardial infarction. His life is not in danger. The heart doctor is undergoing examination."

Ava Su understood and said, "Thank you for your help."

Liam Noah Su pulled down his mask and smiled, "Thanks to you for performing CPR in time, otherwise, I would have been in real trouble."

After saying that, his eyes fell on Aaron Rong.

The man had outstanding looks and a dignified temperament. Just by standing there, the nurses passing by kept turning their heads.

Liam Noah Su half-jokingly joked, "Is he your boyfriend? You're a perfect match."
