Chapter 61 - Youre No Longer My Student (2/2)

Yu Zhongjing stared at her gravely and said in a mild tone, “Xiwei, do you still remember the first rule when you came under my mentors.h.i.+p? Repeat it to me.”

Shock pa.s.sed through Lu Xiwei’s heart and her expression froze. She stammered, “To scrupulously abide by medical ethics, seek constant improvement, to not be conceited, to spare no effort in curing the illnesses that ail humanity, to uphold the sanct.i.ty and honor of the art of healing, to help the dying and heal the injured, and to never harm the health of a patient by putting my needs over their own.”

Yu Zhongjing nodded. “Have you abided by this rule?”

Lu Xiwei’s heart hammered wildly in her chest. Despite the pressure she was under, she would never admit to breaking this critical rule.

She looked aggrieved as if she had been badly wronged. “Teacher, did Gu Mang spout nonsense to you?!”

Yu Zhongjing frowned and his tone became icier. “Even now you’re still unrepentant.”

An aggressive case of bad luck must have befallen him to make him take her under his wing!

Upon reading the situation, Lu Xiwei’s expression changed drastically. She said hastily, “No, Teacher, let me explain…”

“There’s no need for an explanation,” Yu Zhongjing said coldly. “You’re no longer my student. All the best to you.”

With that, he turned to leave.

Lu Xiwei realized that Yu Zhongjing had already made up his mind and spiraled into a panic. Struggling against her restraints, she dragged her chair forward. “Teacher! Teacher, I’ve understood where I went wrong! I’ll change! Give me another chance, Teacher…”

The leverage she had in the medical organization came from being the student of the number one neurological expert. If news that she had been expelled spread her reputation would be utterly ruined.

She stared wide-eyed as Yu Zhongjing’s silhouette disappeared through the bas.e.m.e.nt doorway. Lu Xiwei slumped back into her chair, defeated.

Lu Yī gazed at Lu Xiwei, expressionless. “Ms. Xiwei, Young Master Lu says that this is only a small punishment. If you are discreet enough, there is still a place for you in the Lu family.”

Even if Lu Yī had left out half of the last sentence, Lu Xiwei would have had no problem understanding the meaning.
