Chapter 290: The Lu Family
“They are the patient’s family. They have requested to be in the operating theatre. And their request has been approved because they know the hospital director.” The nurse sighed helplessly. She had no idea what these people were thinking. This was surgery, not a movie.
Mo Li looked at them coolly. She didn’t expect a side branch of the Lu Family to have such influence at Pear River. They believed that money could solve everything but Mo Li was going to prove them wrong.
“Leave this to me. You go and contact the anesthesiologist and prepare for the surgery.”
“Yes, Doctor Mo.” The young nurse was surprised by Mo Li’s professionalism. It felt like she was working with a senior doctor.
Mo Li walked over. There was a similar plot in the original novel. However, it was Qiao Qing who was taking care of Quan Yu at the hospital. Lu Ke pulled some strings and made Qiao Qing disappear from Quan Yu’s side. Qiao Qing didn’t resist. She left Quan Yu after a mock struggle. Then she turned to Han Xu to cry about the unfairness she was treated with.
Mo Li scanned the group before her eyes landed on a middle-aged man. She began coldly, “Mr. Lu? I will not allow the family to be present during the surgery. Please bring your family and wait outside.”
“Are you that Doctor Mo? I know you have no doctor’s certificate. How dare you talk to me like that? I’m going to sue you!”
Mo Li looked at them frostily. According to the original novel, the Lu Family’s people at Pearl River were just wastrels. As long as they got paid, they would do anything. When Mo Li encountered them in person, she finally realized how money could corrupt one’s mind.
“Go and sue me then. Doctor Lu has recorded the conversations between him and Miss Lu. Miss Lu has personally requested me to be her physician. Plus do you think the Lu Family will be more influential than the Mo Family at Pearl River?” Mo Li didn’t have time for these idiots. She had a patient to save. So she removed her mask.
Father Lu stared at Mo Li. He heard from his daughter that there was a very young doctor at this hospital and she would only have that doctor be her physician. Even though he was already told that Father Lu was shocked when he saw Mo Li was this young. Naturally, he was worried to leave his daughter in Mo Li’s hands!
Mo Li’s eyes glowed and she said directly, “Mr. Lu, your daughter wants me to be her main physician and as her main physician, I require your whole family to wait at the waiting room.” Lu Ke’s family was shocked by Mo Li’s words. They had heard about Mo Li from Lu Qin but they didn’t expect the girl to be so arrogant.
“Then I shall swap you out for another physician now!” Lu Hui preferred his own face over anything else. Even the hospital director had to bow to him, so he couldn’t allow this tiny girl to walk all over him! “You’re not even a doctor. My daughter might have named you in person but that is because she doesn’t know better. When she sees you in person, she’ll definitely change her mind!” Lu Hui’s eyes wandered all over Mo Li. “Plus, I am staying here today. I’ll see who dares to chase me away. Your hospital director has already agreed to this. Who are you to violate his orders?”
Lu Hui knew he was dealing with the Mo Family’s daughter but he had Lu Qin to rely on. She was as powerful as Mo Li.
“There are no other doctors at the hospital to perform the surgery on your daughter.” Mo Li was a principled person. She was going to flood these uncultured people with reason. “Plus there is a separation of power at this hospital. You must have gained approval from the hospital director but what about the head of the surgical department? Of course, you can go and see him now but he’s very busy handling the recent chain car accidents. Plus Lu Ke is already anesthetized. If you prefer to let her sleep in there, waiting for another doctor to arrive, then be my guest.”
Lu Hui was rendered speechless. He didn’t expect a girl of 16 to talk back to him so bravely.
Mo Li continued, “If you insist on swapping the doctor, then you’ll have to wait. Plus if your whole family enters the operation theatre, it’ll distract the medical members. Even though the surgery is small, it is still an invasive surgery. Do you really want to risk your daughter’s life for the sake of face? So please just wait here quietly.”
