Chapter 82 - An Extraordinary Gentleman

To be precise, there was only one person who caught Qiao Yue’s attention – the man standing next to Qiao Jing, who was also looking at her.

Qiao Yue was stunned. She finally met the person Qiao Yu tried to emulate.

When people said, “He had the kind of face that stopped you in your tracks”, they were referring to Qiao Xuan.

There was a warm smile on his delicate face. Unlike Qiao Yu, Qiao Xuan’s warmth came from the heart, making people feel like they were walking on air just by looking at him.

Among the three people who knew medicine here, Qiao Xuan was the most suitable to be a doctor.

Although Qiao Yue’s medical skills were good, she always had a frivolous look. But when she got serious, she was terrifying. This made the patients who see her feel like they were riding a roller coaster.

Lu Ying, on the other hand, was too serious. He usually met strangers with a cold face, and when he’s with patients, he was even more serious. To the point that people didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

Therefore, it was rare to find a doctor like Qiao Xuan whom patients trust, and he made his patients feel comfortable.

Moreover, Qiao Yue had heard rumors about her eldest brother. Qiao Xuan became the chief physician at the Beijing Chinese Medical Association Hospital at a young age. He had made great contributions to medical research in C-Country and was also an adjunct professor at several medical schools.

Not only that, since he established the Medical Assistance Foundation, he had been helping needy patients suffering from major diseases. He also gave personal attention to the foundation from time to time. If he encountered a particularly complicated case, he would even make house calls to treat the patient at home.

Qiao Xuan’s acts of kindness were not limited to these. Whenever there was a natural disaster in C-Country, he would disregard the danger and bring his team there. Qiao Xuan’s medical team was the first to arrive almost every time.

Seeing that Qiao Yue was in a daze staring at Qiao Xuan, Assistant Zheng cleared his throat.

Qiao Yue snapped out of her daze and quickly walked up to Qiao Xuan to introduce herself. “Hello, first brother. I’m Qiao Yue.”

Qiao Xuan didn’t expect Qiao Yue to be so proactive. He was stunned for a moment before he replied with a smile, “Hello, fifth brother.”

After the two met, Qiao Jing introduced Lu Ying to Qiao Yue. Qiao Yue greeted him politely, and the two of them acted as if they didn’t know each other.

Now that everyone was present, Qiao Jing began to ask about the old master’s condition and treatment.

Listening to their conversation, Qiao Yue knew that Lu Ying had already seen Old Master Qiao. Of the three people who knew medicine, only Qiao Yue didn’t know what was going on with the patient.

“I’ve wanted to try open craniotomy on Grandpa but it was too risky for an old man, so I ask the miracle-working Dr. Lu to try acupuncture first. If that doesn’t work, we’ll do the open craniotomy.”

All Qiao Yue knew now was that the old master was unconscious. She didn’t know the details, so she couldn’t really come to any conclusion by listening to Qiao Xuan and Lu Ying’s conversation.

Hence, Qiao Yue turned her attention to Qiao Xuan.

The sons of the Qiao family all had distinguishing characteristics. The eldest, Qiao Xuan, was gentle and warm, like the rising sun. The second, Qiao Jing, was cold and indifferent to things that didn’t interest him. The third, Qiao Ze, was direct and pure-hearted. As for the fourth, Qiao Yu, it was hard to describe his personality. He seemed to have lost his own personality after emulating Qiao Xuan most of the time.

Feeling Qiao Yue’s gaze on him, Qiao Xuan looked over after he finished speaking.

Their eyes met, and Qiao Xuan saw the slightly roguish young man smile at him. He could feel Qiao Yue’s kindness but he didn’t expect Qiao Yue to be so even-tempered with him. He had heard from Qiao Ze how Qiao Yue had left them behind when he and Qiao Jing first went to pick him up.

Although Qiao Xuan had been busy lately, he would still hear about Qiao Yue whenever Qiao Ze called him.

Qiao Ze said that their fifth brother was very mysterious. The information clearly stated that he was a child raised in the countryside, but on the first day they met, Qiao Yue rode a Dodge Tomahawk and left them far behind.

And at the Qiao residence when Qiao Yue was provoked by Qiao Xin, he shot Qiao Xin’s snow wolf with a gun, making himself a sworn enemy of Qiao Xin. According to Qiao Ze, Qiao Yue fought very well. It didn’t look like he learned it from fighting on the streets but from professional training.
