CHAPTER 48: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 48 BRAGGING AND DRAFTING

"It’s Li Ruoxuan, Professor John’s prized disciple."

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Almost everyone present knew that Professor John held Li Ruoxuan in high regard and even said that Li Ruoxuan had inherited his true teachings and would definitely surpass him in the field of Western medicine in the future.

It was even rumored that Li Ruoxuan had a significant contribution to the Nobel Prize in Medicine that Professor John had won.

Therefore, irrespective of their respect for Professor John or Li Ruoxuan herself, almost everyone present respected her immensely.

"She’s so beautiful." Sun Mu’s eyes went straight when he saw Li Ruoxuan.

Having only seen photos before, Sun Mu had been awestruck by Li Ruoxuan’s looks. Seeing her in person today, the spark in his heart ignited once more.

If Zhou Zhiruo were not beside him, Sun Mu might have dropped his composure and rushed to confess to Li Ruoxuan.

"Hello, I’m Sun Mu. I once studied at Harvard Medical School and now work at Yun City First Renmin Hospital." Quickly fixing his suit, Sun Mu flashed what he thought was a charming smile and extended his hand to Li Ruoxuan.

"Oh." Li Ruoxuan only glanced at Sun Mu indifferently and walked past him, heading straight to Ye Guichen. "What’s going on?"

"Dr. Li, this man sneaked in. We were just about to escort him out." Awkwardly, Sun Mu volunteered to explain.

"Sneaked in?" Li Ruoxuan’s face turned grim upon hearing this. "I spent a long time inviting Mr. Ye here, and now you’re saying he sneaked in?"

"What? He was invited by Li Ruoxuan?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing Li Ruoxuan’s words.

Li Ruoxuan’s next sentence made Sun Mu’s heart sink even deeper.

"Although I don’t know what happened earlier, your disrespect towards Mr. Ye will be reported to Professor John, and whether he continues to participate in this forum will be another matter."

"What? Professor John knows this guy too?"

Sun Mu’s mouth twitched upon hearing Li Ruoxuan’s words.

He knew how difficult it was to invite Professor John here. If Professor John left because Ye Guichen was offended, wouldn’t he be cursed to death by his peers in the medical community?

"Well, could there be some misunderstanding?" Sun Mu wiped the sweat off his forehead, speaking nervously.

Li Ruoxuan sneered, "Misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding. Professor John said if Mr. Ye does not attend this forum, neither will he."

"Wow!"

Those words carried tremendous weight.

The renowned Professor John would skip the forum if Ye Guichen didn’t attend?

Everyone’s gaze towards Ye Guichen changed completely.

Sun Mu couldn’t understand Ye Guichen’s significance, but swallowing his pride, he said, "Ah, since Dr. Li invited him, we wrongly blamed Mr. Ye."

After saying that, he pulled Zhou Zhiruo, ready to leave.

Ye Guichen smiled, "Li Ruoxuan, it seems I’m not welcome at this forum. Perhaps I should leave."

He turned to leave.

Li Ruoxuan panicked and grabbed Ye Guichen, "We agreed, you can’t leave."

"I have a thin skin and don’t have an invitation," Ye Guichen said.

"Then I’ll leave too," Li Ruoxuan bit her lip. "I’ll tell Professor John to book tickets to return today."

Just a few steps out, Sun Mu was about to cry hearing this.

This could be the end of me.

If Li Ruoxuan and Professor John really left, he’d become a sinner.

"Ye Guichen, I was wrong. I beg you to stay." Sun Mu fell to his knees before Ye Guichen, "Earlier, I failed to recognize your greatness, not knowing your connection to Professor John. Please forgive me."

Face no longer mattered; Sun Mu prayed for Ye Guichen to stay.

Ye Guichen smiled warmly at Sun Mu, "Who said I was bragging without substance?"
