Initially, they thought that the old man was ready for the surgery and would not have anything else to do during this period of time. However, it turned out that he was going to host a welcoming banquet for Zhenxiu's return.
Park Cheon's complexion had improved slightly due to Zhenxiu's return. The physical conditioning he had undergone for the surgery was effective as well.
Due to his physical condition, he was unable to host the welcoming banquet in time. The preparations were delayed for the past two days.
The purpose of the banquet was to introduce the upper-class members of Seoul and the collateral relatives of the Park family to Zhenxiu. It was also to announce that Park Cheon was about to undergo a liver transplant and that he was not at the end of his rope like the rumors said.
Of course, it was also an official announcement to the public that Park Cheon had found a suitable liver source for the transplant. This would make the core members of Starmoon Anxin feel at ease.
When night fell, the banquet was held in the auditorium of a five-star hotel under the Starmoon Group.
A luxurious and elegant atmosphere permeated the entire banquet hall. Successful people in suits or tuxedos were everywhere. Most of their female companions were in evening gowns. There were also some elderly ladies in colorful Hanfu.
Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi weren't people who liked to be in the limelight. When the couple entered the venue, they didn't know anyone, so they found a quiet place and waited quietly with two glasses of champagne.
Due to their temperament, most Koreans could tell that Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi were Hua Xia's people. Most of them were a little puzzled but ignored them.
Part of the reason was that Lin Ruoxi only wore a black dress and a white blazer to avoid attention. It was neither sexy nor glamorous, so it was easy to overlook her.
Park Cheon was in the center of the banquet, receiving blessings from many people. Beside him were Gong Gyechung and Gong Woo of the Gong family, as well as Doctor Lee Eunjeong.
At this time, Park Cheon would not have the time to greet Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi.
Suddenly, a tall Caucasian woman walked through the crowd and went straight to Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi. She pulled a chair over and sat down.
He took a glass of champagne from the waiter and gulped it down as if he was very thirsty.
Jane, who was dressed in a red evening gown, looked a little impatient. She fanned herself and said in annoyance, "I should have dressed more like Miss Lin. Korean men are really like followers. They can't even speak English properly. I've already told them that I can speak Korean, but they still pretend that speaking English is their specialty. How disgusting."
Looking at the group of men staring at Jane, Yang Cheng nodded in understanding. "Just ignore them. Sometimes being rude isn't a bad thing."
Jane raised her eyebrows. "That won't do. I'm a lady."
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but smile. "Jane, a lady wouldn't talk behind someone's back."
Jane covered her mouth and giggled as well.
Yang Cheng asked curiously, "Who's going to perform President Park Cheon's surgery? Haven't you been examining him for the past few days? Are you going to perform it for Lee Eunjeong? "
Jane shrugged nonchalantly. "President Park Cheon doesn't seem to trust me. Maybe I'm too young. Besides, the Gong family has been supporting Doctor Lee and he has indeed done more preparation work than me.
I didn't pay much attention after that night. I'm not a surgery maniac so there's no need for me to compete with them. After all, a liver transplant isn't a difficult surgery. If it wasn't for my two students, I wouldn't have come. "
"Then what have you been doing for the past few days?" Yang Cheng was puzzled.
Jane replied excitedly, "I went to a village in the mountains near Seoul and learned how to make the most authentic kimchi!"
Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They couldn't understand why they were so excited.
"Didn't you say that the Park family paid you a lot? Could it be that you asked for too much and that's why he chose Lee Eunjeong?" Yang Cheng asked.
Jane frowned and nodded. "That's a possibility. Logically speaking, a surgery like this can be done within a million USD in the US. It's possible that the Gong family would perform the surgery for President Park for free."
"How much did you ask for?" Yang Cheng asked curiously.
Jane made a "two" gesture.
"Two million?"
"How is that possible?!" Jane rolled her eyes. "Two million isn't even enough for me to look at his tongue. Twenty million, and it has to be in pounds!"
"Hiss …" Yang Cheng sucked in a breath of cold air. Wasn't that equivalent to more than two hundred million Hua Xia dollars?!
How was this a doctor's treatment? This was clearly a robbery!
Lin Ruoxi's jaw dropped in disbelief. She couldn't help but ask, "Jane, why is your surgery so expensive?"
Jane answered matter-of-factly, "That depends on the person. If he's a war zone refugee, then he'll get free medical care. But Park Cheon is one of the top ten richest men in Asia. Twenty million pounds is nothing compared to his net worth.
Besides, I'm not friends with him so I don't need the friendship price. Didn't he want a hundred percent success rate? I'm a hundred percent guarantee. I … will never, fail! "
The woman wagged her finger proudly.
"No wonder he didn't choose you. With the price you're asking for, even if he's saved, he'll still vomit blood." Yang Cheng smiled bitterly while Lin Ruoxi nodded in agreement.
"That's none of my business. I'm not interested in a surgery that many doctors can perform, especially one that requires me to come all the way here. It's just that he's old and has undergone some major surgeries before, so it's a little more difficult. That's why I'm here, "Jane said nonchalantly.
Lin Ruoxi asked Yang Cheng curiously, "Hubby, don't you know how to quickly stop bleeding and expel toxins? Why don't you try treating President Park Cheon?"
Yang Cheng shook his head. "That's impossible. I'm not a god. I'm only performing the most basic treatment. His organs are damaged and they're the most critical parts of life. I can't afford to make any mistakes. I'm not a doctor and I don't know much about physiology.
It's like a car. I can wash the car and change the oil, but I'm not a mechanic, let alone a car engineer. If I want to change the car's engine and adjust the electronic system, I have to ask a doctor to do it. "
As they chatted, two figures slowly walked in from the entrance of the banquet hall, attracting Yang Cheng's attention.
Upon closer inspection, it was Park Jonghyun and Li Jingjing!?
Park Jonghyun was dressed in a white suit. He looked heroic, calm and composed, filled with the calmness and arrogance of a young talent.
Li Jingjing was dressed in a pink silk evening gown with a pale yellow ribbon tied into a butterfly knot around her slender waist. Her breasts were especially full, accentuating her exquisite figure.
Many people looked over as well. Most of them were familiar with Park Jonghyun, the main person in charge of Starmoon Group.
Soon, many people walked over to greet Park Jonghyun one by one. Some even began to ask who Li Jingjing was, most of them with ambiguous smiles on their faces.
Li Jingjing wore a reserved smile as she nodded and greeted the VIPs after Park Jonghyun's introduction.
This scene made Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi look at each other. They saw a trace of uneasiness in each other's eyes.
"Jingjing … why does she seem …" Lin Ruoxi didn't dare to continue. This situation was unexpected.
Yang Cheng frowned and looked at Li Jingjing. Coincidentally, Li Jingjing also glanced at Yang Cheng.
Their eyes met. Li Jingjing only paused for a moment before continuing to chat with the other guests.
Yang Cheng's eyes were filled with worry. Seeing Li Jingjing chatting and laughing beside Park Jonghyun, he couldn't feel at ease.
At this moment, Park Jonghyun and Li Jingjing stood together in the banquet hall. They looked like a golden couple. Many people began to offer their blessings, real or fake.
Yang Cheng's eyes flashed with countless complicated emotions. In the end, he revealed a fierce expression and was about to get up and walk over!
But Lin Ruoxi quickly grabbed Yang Cheng and said anxiously, "What are you doing?!"
"She's throwing her lifelong happiness in a fit. Do you want me to watch her make mistakes one step at a time?!" Yang Cheng suppressed his anger.
Lin Ruoxi's face turned cold. "Are you going to kill Park Jonghyun?! Who are you to care about her?! If you're so worried for her, why don't you tell her that everything you've done before was a lie?! "
