Chapter 506: Lee Mi's Medical Skills
Chu Lian was much prettier than Lee Mi, although she did not compare to Meng Chuyue, Zhao Xiaoxin, and Xia Ping, but she definitely qualified as a beauty.
Even so, when Lee Mi had her plastic surgery, she made slight adjustments, so at first glance, she looked like Chu Lian, but slimmer, fairer, and more beautiful than the original Chu Lian.
Her figure was also modified.
In fact, Lee Mi's original figure was quite similar to that of Chu Lian, both quite skinny.
This time, taking advantage of the facial surgery, she sculpted her figure into a curvaceous one that she herself couldn't help being fascinated by.
Therefore, the current "Chu Lian" was very attractive, no wonder Su Jinnian was moved.
After her plastic surgery, Lee Mi went to see Chu Lian's stepfather.
She went at night.
Upon seeing "Chu Lian," the man was so frightened that he fell on his behind, screaming, "Ah, a ghost?"
However, just after he shouted, seeing the shadow of Chu Lian under the light and remembering that he had left the suitcase containing Chu Lian for so long without anyone coming after him, all signs indicated that Chu Lian might not be dead, he was relieved.
He scrambled up and said nastily to Chu Lian, "Why did you scare me? You ungrateful thing, if it weren't for me going into the alley to collect your dead body that day, you might really be dead."
This time, Lee Mi understood that Chu Lian's stepfather had not killed her, but someone else had.
Lee Mi sneered, "Are you saying I should be grateful to you?"
Her stepfather was at a loss for words.
Since Chu Lian's "death," he had been in constant fear. Now, unclear about her physical condition, he did not dare strike her, he bitterly said, "Since you're back, get to work immediately and clean up the house."
Lee Mi narrowed her eyes but said nothing, indeed she obediently began cleaning the house.
Seeing her like this, her stepfather thought she was still the honest girl she used to be and, humming a little tune, went out to drink.
But this time, though still severely drunk, he did not beat her, but kept hurling insults at her.
The words were ugly, calling her a slut, a scum, a jinx, heartless, an ungrateful wretch...
These deeply expressed his disdain for Chu Lian.
However, fortunately, he seemed to have no malevolent intentions toward his stepdaughter since those kinds of slurs were absent.
For that reason, Lee Mi did not immediately deal with him, but kept him around as a tool.
When Xia Ping brought two trusted bodyguards to accompany "Chu Lian" to retrieve some belongings, this tool proved useful.
The bodyguards were in civilian clothes, young and handsome. Chu Lian's stepfather immediately misunderstood, thinking that after being dishonored, Chu Lian had adopted a reckless attitude and started cursing loudly.
Unable to bear it any longer, the two bodyguards quickly restrained his arms and stuffed a towel into his mouth.
The effect was achieved, "Chu Lian" with tearful eyes gathered some clothes and luggage and officially began working at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
While in the Cultivation World, Lee Mi had learned medical techniques, and she was very skilled.
However, the herbs there only slightly resembled those here, most were different, which she found useless.
After crossing over, she did not study medicine here because she felt that the medical skills of this world were child's play compared to those of the Cultivation World.
It was uninteresting to learn.
However, the pharmacology was somewhat different between both worlds, but the acupuncture technique... had no difference.
Thus, her acupuncture technique was truly excellent.
In just a few days, she had won over her colleagues and some patients.
Moreover, being modest, easy-going, gentle, and timid, her colleagues both sympathized with and liked her.
It was during this time that Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci separately talked to their close friends and family, sharing their impressions of "Chu Lian."
"This Chu Lian is very cunning; be careful with her."
That was the first thing they said to everyone, already agreed upon.
