Chapter 601 - 601 After spreading rumors the consequences are

Chapter 601: After spreading rumors, the consequences are serious Chapter 601: After spreading rumors, the consequences are serious The doctors did not express their stance on the spot about whether to agree to Little Aunt Zhang’s request and left first.

Tan Kelin’s mouth curved slightly, showing deep contemplation on the Zhang family’s unusual statements.

The teachers didn’t speak, and Xie Wanying couldn’t possibly promise anything to the patients right there. She was just a medical student who needed to follow the teachers’ instructions.

The group quickly moved to the neighboring ward to continue their rounds.

After the doctors left, Zhang Wei’s mother lashed out at Little Aunt Zhang, “Do you know what sort of person she is? Are you going to entrust Mom’s life to someone like her?”

“I’ve done some asking around, big sister-in-law, and Zhang Wei’s deskmate is quite formidable. She was impressive in the college entrance exam, and she’s equally impressive in medical school. People say she’s a medical academic overachiever.” As she spoke, Little Aunt Zhang glanced at the other two patients in the ward, “Both of them were saved by Xie Wanying.”

“Impossible!” Zhang Wei’s mother and Little Aunt Zhang immediately contradicted one another, “Do you think it’s true just because you heard she was praised by her teacher? I’ve told you before, she’s beautiful—do you think she’s praised by the teacher for her good grades? Let me tell you, she must have seduced her teacher with her beauty. People say she’s very close to Teacher Tan. This kind of thing is common everywhere; how could you be deceived by her? Those patients are just sucking up to her because of her relationship with Teacher Tan—”

For heaven’s sake, don’t talk nonsense! Little Aunt Zhang was terrified and quickly covered her sister-in-law’s mouth with her hand.

Zhang Wei’s mother was shouting so loudly she wanted the whole world to know, so everyone around heard it.

Xie Wanying, of course, didn’t expect her classmate’s mother to think of her in such a way, which was beyond her expectations.

Being beautiful was a curse; the old saying “beauty is a disaster” was something she had always thought had nothing to do with her. After all, no one had ever complimented her on her appearance before or after her rebirth.

She had never worn makeup, never bought beautiful clothes to wear, didn’t sing or dance, had never been out for fun, and spent most of her time soaking with disinfectant and corpses. If her fingers reeked of disinfectant and she looked like a panda after a night shift, with unkempt hair and a disheveled face, could she really be called beautiful? Perhaps Zhang Wei’s mother needed to get a neurological examination?

As for the rumors about her inappropriate relationship with Teacher Tan, Xie Wanying was very worried: if such talk spread, the situations of medical students would become even harder. Any female medical student who was with a male teacher or a male medical student who was with a female teacher could be slandered. It’s well known that there are strong academic male and female teachers in the medical field. Should medical students now have to discriminate based on gender when learning from a teacher?

If spreading rumors about an inappropriate relationship wasn’t enough, sooner or later, even if she were associated with a female teacher, rumors would fly about having an inexplicably deep mother-daughter relationship, insisting that the medical students got ahead through back doors.

Someone like Tan Kelin, who already disliked having students around, because it caused nothing but trouble, would be even less likely to take students in the future.

Li Qi’an rubbed his brow, worried as well: if one day he went to internal medicine and learned from a female teacher, such slanderous talk could occur to him too.

The teachers appeared calm and unruffled, as though they hadn’t heard Zhang Wei’s mother at all, indicating they were used to such rumors.

After completing the rounds, they had to go up to the operating room for surgery; the doctors had no time for gossip. The doctors had to give a response to the Zhang family by the end of the day, so they discussed the case over lunch, as they had no time left.

A group sat in Tan Kelin’s office eating from their lunchboxes.

“You think she can have a laparoscopic surgery, don’t you?” Shi Xu asked his superior, since Tan Kelin hadn’t immediately agreed to his suggestion during rounds, suggesting he was considering different surgical options.
