Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1440 143

"Lili's boyfriend? But I haven't heard Lili mention him," said He Li's mother calmly."Maybe it was a bit rushed, Lili and I used to be colleagues in the same company," Su Chen said with a smile.

But He Li's mother seized on the key point: "Used to be colleagues in the same company? What about now?"

"Um, now? I guess now I should be..."

"Knock knock..." came the sound of knocking on the door outside the ward.

"Please come in."

A young nurse entered with a tense expression: "Dean Su, Dean Chu has something very important and needs you to come over."

"Okay, I understand." Su Chen frowned slightly. What kind of trick was Chu Man playing again? Hadn't he already told her that he would help heal the old man later?

Su Chen turned his head apologetically towards He Li and her daughter: "Auntie, please rest first, I need to handle something, and I'll be back after dealing with it."

"No problem, no problem, you handle your business first," He Li's mother said hastily.

Lili was stunned as she looked at Su Chen, what... what was going on?

That young nurse seemed to address Su Chen as 'Dean Su'?

Su Chen was supposed to be merely a salesperson at Yimena, how could he be associated with a hospital dean?

Moreover, this was not some third-rate small hospital, but a prestigious private hospital in Jiangdu.

Could it be... Lili's heart gave birth to another conjecture.

Could Su Chen's family be involved in the pharmaceutical or medical industry, and the young nurse was merely acting on Su Chen's behalf to impress her mother?

After all, Su Chen had previously worked at Yimena and seemed not to be short of money.

Otherwise, how could an average employee on payday not bat an eye when taking out so much money?

"Lili, what exactly is your boyfriend's background? Didn't he say he used to be your colleague?" He Li's mother nudged her daughter lightly and spoke in a low voice.

"I, I don't really know, but his family is well-off, they're not short of money," Lili responded evasively.

But hearing her words, He Li's mother's expression showed something amiss.

"Lili, did you take money from him for my treatment and that's why you're with him?" He Li's mother asked with unprecedented seriousness.

"No, I didn't." Lili responded with a lack of confidence.

Initially, that was indeed her plan; she had taken money from Su Chen, tens of thousands, which she had no ability to repay, so her initial thought was to exchange herself for debt.

But she didn't get a response from Su Chen.

Having Su Chen pretend to be her boyfriend this time was an unexpected choice, after thinking it through, he seemed the most suitable.

"Do you know anything about him? Do you know what his family does?"

"I don't know," Lili answered dejectedly.

She knew very little about Su Chen, only that he wasn't short on money, potentially a rich second generation.

As for others, she knew perhaps even less than Wang Yue.

"Then you're with him so hastily? If you had to be with him because you took money from him for my treatment, I'd rather not treat this disease!" He Li's mother spoke resolutely.

"Mom, you misunderstood. The money for your treatment was indeed paid by Su Chen, but he absolutely did not force me to be with him because of this; actually... actually, I'm the one who chased him..." Lili's cheeks flushed as she mustered the courage to say such things in front of her mother.

"You chased him?" He Li's mother asked suspiciously.

"Hmm..." Lili replied, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.

Lili recounted a beautiful love story to her mother.

After hearing Lili's words, He Li's mother became even more hesitant: "Little Su is so outstanding and has a good family, our family's foundation isn't that strong, will his family oppose you being together?"

"Mom, as long as we like each other, I believe they won't obstruct us too much," Lili said confidently.

But in her heart, there was a deep sense of bitterness, yes, as long as we like each other, but it's unlikely...

While the mother and daughter were whispering, doctors came to do rounds and check on patients.

He Li's mother was cautious, and she pulled aside a doctor who was examining her, quietly asking: "Doctor, is there a dean with the last name Su at your hospital?"

"Last name Su? No, our hospital dean's last name is Chu, and there's no deputy dean with the last name Su either," the doctor said, puzzled, the hospital doesn't have a dean with the last name Su.

However, another doctor standing behind him chimed in: "Our hospital does indeed have a dean with the last name Su."

"Really? How come I don't know?" The first doctor asked curiously.

The hospital only has one dean and two deputy deans, and none of them have the last name Su.

"You've been out for an advanced study program recently, so you don't know. Our hospital recently appointed an honorary dean, a master of traditional Chinese medicine." The doctor who interjected spoke with admiration and reverence.

"Honorary dean? Master of traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Yes, Dean Chu personally invited him."

"Doctor, may I ask how old this Dean Su is? Does he have a son?" He Li's mother couldn't help but ask.

It seemed there indeed was a dean with the last name Su in this hospital, and his age seemed about right.

You can't achieve anything in traditional Chinese medicine without several decades of hard work.

To be called a master of traditional Chinese medicine, one must be at least fifty or sixty, right?

From the age perspective, it seemed fitting, having a twenty-something son seems plausible...

But the doctor seemed to hear something amusing, laughing breathlessly for a while: "Ma'am, you might be mistaken, our Dean Su doesn't have any sons."

"Ah!" He Li's mother exclaimed, could it be... Su Chen is just a fraud?

"Our Dean Su is only in his twenties and unmarried, where would he have a son?"

The doctor's second sentence gave He Li's mother a moment of relief, yet she was even more shocked.

"In his twenties and already a dean?"

"As the saying goes, 'heroes don't ask for origin, rogues don't ask for age,' but now applied to Dean Su, it's truly 'heroes don't ask for age.' Although Dean Su is only in his twenties, he genuinely has exceptional skills..."

The doctor was still expressing admiration, but He Li's mother was flabbergasted.

"In his twenties? Dean Su?"

Could it really be the same Su Chen?

Lili also couldn't help but cover her mouth in astonishment, what's going on?

Su Chen, how did he become a dean?

Although Su Chen hasn't been coming to work much lately, but... isn't he a rich second generation?

Lili simply couldn't reconcile Su Chen with his identity as a doctor.

But thinking carefully, perhaps it wasn't entirely surprising, when Su Chen was in the sales department, he exhibited many remarkable talents, he seemed indeed to have some medical skill?
