Chapter 314 - Believe in yourself (2/2)

“Well, I’ll go back home and ask my uncle. He works for the Bureau of Civil Affairs. I think he did this for a relative of mine before.” Zhang Fan lost confidence after hearing her say this.

“There’s such a good thing out there? How come I never knew of it?” Xue Fei immediately tried to find problems as expected when he could talk again. He even asked Wang Yanan and Little Li, “Have either of you heard of this before?”

“No.” Both women shook their heads simultaneously.

“Do you believe me?” Jiang Nini asked Zhang Fan while maintaining her smile.

“Oh!” This really wasn’t easy for Zhang Fan to answer. If he said that he didn’t believe her, then this would definitely end a possibility for the patient’s family. However, it also seemed inappropriate to him to say that he believed her here. This was Zhang Fan’s first time meeting with such a situation. Everyone was looking directly at him. Wang Yanan especially seemed like sparks were about to fly out of her eyes.

Zhang Fan happened to be quite lucky at this time as he was saved by an interruption. A really sturdy middle-aged Kazakh woman brought over all the ordered food on a large plate that wasn’t much smaller than the table itself. “Venerated guests, you’re the final table of guests that I’m serving this year. The next batch of horsemeat will have to wait until the next snowfall! Come, dear guests! Eat and drink up!”

“Let’s eat! Let’s eat! We can talk about this matter afterwards.” Zhang Fan immediately started using his chopsticks on the horsemeat.

“Do you believe Little Jiang or not!” Wang Yanan wouldn’t let Zhang Fan go just like this.

“Yeah, do you believe her or not? Besides, are you the one treating everyone today? What makes you think you have the right to tell everyone to start eating? Honestly!” Xue Fei immediately began to scold Zhang Fan. Normally, Zhang Fan always scolded him during surgeries, so he finally found a chance to scold Zhang Fan back.

Zhang Fan no longer felt awkward thanks to the interruption. Without looking at anyone else at all, Zhang Fan picked up a piece of horse intestine with his chopsticks and placed it on Little Li’s plate while telling her, “Sorry to have troubled you over all this time. Have some extra food. Xue Fei is treating, so you definitely don’t need to be stingy with him.”

Zhang Fan then placed a piece of horsemeat on Jiang Nini’s plate, and said, “Eat this first. This matter isn’t about believing or not believing. Little Jiang, since you’ve mentioned such a method already, you’re already a passable doctor because you’re now a doctor who thinks about the sake of the patient. No matter if this method works or not, I will thank you regardless. It does not matter if this government program counts as welfare, as I honestly don’t understand such a thing. Still, help is always appreciated, wouldn’t you agree?”

“You really have a way with words.” Jiang Nini chuckled.

Wang Yanan gave Zhang Fan a sidelong glance. However, her meaning was obvious. ‘You pass!’

Zhang Fan felt really annoyed inside! He really wasn’t interested in such things at all. Jiang Nini was really smart and would keep flirting ambiguously with him while controlling things excellently. In comparison, Wang Yanan and Jia Suyue weren’t a match for her at all, although maybe Shao Hua would be.

Still, Zhang Fan knew better about himself than anyone. He knew that Jiang Nini definitely wouldn’t have spared him even a single extra glance if it wasn’t for his System helping him to obtain his current status. That was reality. He knew what it had taken for him to obtain what he currently had, step by step. That was why he was highly on guard. No matter what the future was like, Zhang Fan’s heart was narrow, and could contain only a single woman.

Shao Hua was the woman who had accompanied him during his most difficult and anxious times. She hadn’t disliked his family. She treated his sister as her own. She considered everything possible for him. While there were indeed plenty of nice women out there, only the one who cared about him the most was the best one for him, not a woman who cared only about his status.

Not wanting to trust others, or others trusting or not trusting you, that wasn’t important at all. It was fine as long as you trusted yourself!
