The Disabled Villain Omega Uses Her Riches to Get Close to People (GL) - Chapter 20

But the reality was different from what she thought.

Chi Wanzhu replied as usual: “No.”

【Is there any sensation in your legs?】

【No.】

This similar conversation has been the final part of every check-up and treatment since Ji Ling became responsible for her. She had given this answer countless times.

Chi Wanzhu started treatment when she was nine.

Even though she was more mature than her peers as a child, a child is still a child, unable to accept being different from others.

It would become the “abnormality” people talked about.

Seeing the doctor pick up a small hammer, ready to tap her kneecap, she would silently make a wish in her heart.

She hoped that the next second she would feel pain, feel hurt.

But reality often didn’t cooperate. The doctor tapping her knee was like tapping any table or any wall.

No reaction.

Then the doctor would shake their head and invite the next highly-renowned expert.

However, the result was always the same.

Later, Chi Wanzhu stopped holding onto hope, refused to see doctors again, and truly began to learn how to live without the use of her legs.

Until she met Ji Ling, who wanted to start by treating the Pheromone Disorder, attempting to treat her legs.

Upon hearing Chi Wanzhu’s words, Ji Ling’s heart sank. She asked stubbornly, “Is there absolutely no reaction?”

If it were good news, everyone would be happy.

But between no reaction and getting worse, Ji Ling preferred to hear the latter.

After all, if it got worse, it would indicate that Chi Wanzhu’s legs were indeed affected by the pheromones, providing a direction for future treatment.

But no reaction left her completely clueless.

Chi Wanzhu still gave a negative answer: “No.”

A person who has been sick for a long time becomes their own doctor; she knew her own body well.

Ji Ling still felt something was off. She asked, “You don’t need to return to the company this morning, do you?”

She had seen Chi Wanzhu when she was busy and knew that she couldn’t spend the whole day at the hospital, so she only asked about the morning.

Chi Wanzhu said, “I have time this morning.”

“That’s good. I’ll arrange a leg examination for you later.”

Ji Ling knew she disliked this examination and specifically explained, “You might not feel some changes, but checking is always more reassuring.”

As a doctor, she instinctively trusted more precise data and instrument results.

“You can arrange it,” Chi Wanzhu was already used to it and wasn’t too disappointed. Instead, she was calmer than Ji Ling, saying, “No rush.”

Ji Ling: “…”

A patient comforting the doctor. She was experiencing it firsthand today.

“You’re right, no rush. It will be cured sooner or later.” Ji Ling was particularly superstitious about these matters.

She wouldn’t say discouraging words, nor would she allow Chi Wanzhu to.

She glanced at the time: “It will take a while for your and Chaocao’s test reports to come out. I’ll take you for blood work and other tests first.”

Chi Wanzhu’s physical condition was too complex. Even the data provided by the pheromone detector could only be used as a reference; pheromones in the blood must be measured simultaneously.

Additionally, Chi Wanzhu required a series of tests every time she visited, including anti-medication tests and inhibitor reaction tests.

Ji Ling pushed her out, but a minute later, she suddenly heard Chi Wanzhu ask, “Why do you call her Chaocao?”

Chi Wanzhu’s eyes were slightly lowered, so Ji Ling couldn’t see her expression. She answered naturally, “Of course I call her Chaocao. Are there any other options?”

Should she call her by her full name, “Jing Chaocao”?

Just thinking about it made her feel like she had instantly switched scenes.

She was wearing a suit, currently in a serious, formal meeting.

But her mind worked quickly at that moment. Since Chi Wanzhu could ask this question, it must mean she didn’t call her that.

“Then what do you call her? Jing Chaocao? Miss Jing?”

Ji Ling felt goosebumps rising.

Chi Wanzhu didn’t speak.

Ji Ling rarely had such an opportunity to leave the other person speechless.

Her face was full of smiles, and she added, “If you want me to call you Wanwan or Zhuzhu, that’s not impossible either?”

Chi Wanzhu bypassed the topic and calmly said, “I will seriously consider whether Star Group’s medical equipment donation quota should still go to your hospital this year.”

Ji Ling: “???!!!”

She was wrong!

Never provoke the rich sugar daddy when there’s no need!

Jing Chaocao only needed Alpha pheromone extraction and no other tests, so she finished earlier than Chi Wanzhu and them.

She came out and sat in the waiting area, only to see Ji Ling come out.

Blood tests and anti-medication tests were handled by specialized nurses.

Ji Ling only needed to wait for these tests to be done and then check her legs.

During the free time, she could chat with Jing Chaocao.

Perhaps the answers she couldn’t get from Chi Wanzhu could be found in Jing Chaocao.

Jing Chaocao looked behind her but didn’t see anyone. Before she could ask, Ji Ling answered her question first.

“No need to look. Your President Chi is off for other tests.”

Jing Chaocao: “…”

How did she know that without being asked?

Ji Ling sat down next to her and handed her a bottle of water, saying, “The pheromone test takes a bit longer. We still have to wait.”

“Thank you.” Jing Chaocao took the water and asked, “Does President Chi need other tests?”

The doctor had already told her the approximate time for the pheromone results, so she wasn’t worried.

However, weren’t they here today to check the pheromone grade? Why did she need other tests?

Ji Ling nodded: “Her physical condition is quite special, so she needs more checking.”

If a certain indicator was abnormal, she might need to repeat the test.

Jing Chaocao nodded, she could understand.

Chi Wanzhu’s work was busy. Doing a physical examination while having the grade test to terminate the agreement could save time.

The two were thinking completely different things in their hearts, yet they chatted without any obstacles.

Ji Ling saw her backpack and asked, “You’re a student at Z University?”

“Yes, at Z University.”

Jing Chaocao unscrewed the bottled water and took a sip. While Ji Ling observed her, she was also secretly observing the other person.

In the familiar novel tropes, the CEO usually had a doctor friend. She hadn’t expected to actually meet one today.

Ji Ling felt she and Chi Wanzhu were quite destined, saying, “Then do you know that President Chi also graduated from Z University? She should be considered your school sister.”

As for herself, she simply didn’t score high enough and went abroad after the college entrance examination.

Jing Chaocao, who bore the heavy responsibility of inviting the famous alumna: “…I know.”

It was hard not to know.

Ji Ling smiled and continued to ask, “Wanzhu studied finance. What is your major, Chaocao?”

If they were in the same major, she would have suspected Chi Wanzhu of deliberately pulling strings for her direct school junior.

“Traditional Chinese Medicine.”

The content of modern Traditional Chinese Medicine mainly includes two parts.

One part is what people generally consider TCM: Chinese herbs, Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon) prescriptions, acupuncture, and massage.

The other part includes Western medicine content such as physiology, pathology, and pharmacology.

They study the widely known Treatise on Cold Damage and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, but they also engage with modern medical theory.

However, the focus remains on TCM.

Therefore, after Jing Chaocao stated her major, she knew what Ji Ling would ask.

“Traditional Chinese Medicine?” As expected, Ji Ling said with great interest, “Then you and I are peers. You must also study basic medical theory, right?”

Jing Chaocao nodded, but her movement was slow. She hesitated for a long time before replying, “I do, but I’m not good at the modern medicine part.”

She wasn’t being falsely humble.

In her original world, her grades in professional courses, whether TCM or modern medical theory, were quite good.

In this world, TCM still maintained the original theoretical system with no changes.

But the modern medicine part, due to the existence of secondary genders, had more than double the knowledge content compared to what she had studied.

She could only be thankful that it wasn’t the time for final exams yet.

But Ji Ling didn’t know her struggle, “It’s fine. You’re still learning. You can always ask me if you have any questions later.”

Jing Chaocao: “…”

Then her questions could form an ocean and drown Ji Ling.

At this point in the conversation, Ji Ling had already taken out her phone and opened a QR code. “Let’s add each other’s contact info. It will be easier to keep in touch later.”

In terms of personality alone, she found Jing Chaocao very interesting and was happy to make a friend.

However, Jing Chaocao didn’t move, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

Did Ji Ling not mean that as a polite formality?!

After all, once the pheromone test report came out later, she would have no relationship with Chi Wanzhu.

Let alone contacting Ji Ling later.

Ji Ling noticed her hesitation and touched her face, “…”

She wasn’t ugly, was she? She was rated the campus goddess by the public a few years ago!

How come she couldn’t even get a contact number now?!

But then she realized it definitely wasn’t her fault.

Ji Ling understood: “Is it because she doesn’t let you casually add Omegas’ contact information? Don’t worry, I’m a Beta. It’s fine!”

The “she” naturally referred to Chi Wanzhu.

Given the other party’s dominant nature, it sounded like something she would do.

Jing Chaocao also realized, “It has nothing to do with President Chi. I just feel there’s no need to add each other.”

But after explaining, she felt a sense of discord.

Why did she feel like Ji Ling didn’t know she was going to terminate the agreement with Chi Wanzhu?

“???”

Hearing this, Ji Ling truly began to doubt her own charm.

How could a person with a body temperature of 37 degrees say such a cold phrase as “no need to add each other”?!

Who said words couldn’t kill? These five characters were like sharp swords, deeply piercing her heart.

And five of them!

Jing Chaocao also realized her words were ambiguous and added, “It’s just that my agreement with President Chi is about to be terminated, so there’s no need to add each other. I didn’t mean anything else.”

It was only after she said this that Ji Ling relaxed: “Oh, so it’s just terminating the agreement. I thought…”

But mid-sentence, she suddenly made a sharp turn, “Wait… what did you just say? Terminating the agreement?!”

She preferred to believe she had misheard.

“…Terminating the agreement with President Chi.” Jing Chaocao was also a bit confused, looking at Ji Ling: “You didn’t know?”

Ji Ling: “…”

Where would I be supposed to know that?

Moreover, Chi Wanzhu didn’t seem like the type to go back on her word.

How could she terminate an agreement right after signing it, and only a few days later?

Not to mention, if the agreement was being terminated, why would she bring the other person to the hospital for an examination?

Ji Ling’s mind was racing, trying to find clues.

“How about you tell me the details?”

She felt something was fundamentally wrong.

Jing Chaocao nodded, recounting everything from the failure of the temporary mark to her pheromone grade.

And finally, coming to the hospital today.

“So, I thought today was for checking the pheromone grade, and then the agreement could be terminated.”

The logic chain was complete, and each step was supported by evidence, making it seem very reasonable.

After she finished speaking, she saw Ji Ling’s stunned expression.

She felt the look was very familiar, perhaps the same one she had seen when she told Song Li she was marking-incompetent.

Ji Ling was silent for a long time, finally saying only: “You really aren’t good at modern medical theory.”

She had truly realized that now.
