The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 525

Following the end of the signing process, the staff immediately released information about the live broadcast of the Traditional Chinese Medicine cancer treatment competition on the platform, detailing Professor Fu Wangning’s high academic credentials, international study and exchange experience, domestic teaching positions, and papers published in authoritative journals.

As for Jiang Moxi, her academic qualifications were also released, stating that she is currently a student at Technical College, and that she had entered the Chinese Medicine College a few days ago. Besides that, Jiang Moxi’s designer identity was mentioned.

But after comparing the credentials of these two significant figures, netizens were not convinced. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Is this supposed to be a competition of Traditional Chinese Medicine for treating cancer? This is just a live broadcast show to display Professor Fu’s abilities."

"So now designers are crossing over into Chinese medicine without needing relevant diplomas?"

"What on earth is Designer X thinking? Having never dealt with anything related to Chinese medicine, and she’s entering this kind of competition? Is she either crazy for money or fame?"

"I think for this competition, if the patients are drawn by Professor Fu, they might be fine, but if they’re drawn by Designer X, not to mention not getting cured, they might even lose their lives..."

Nearly the whole internet believes in Fu Wangning’s ability to cure cancer, while Jiang Moxi, who has just come into contact with Chinese medicine, is said to be playing fast and loose with the lives of patients.

Nevertheless, even though netizens were not very optimistic about this competition, the live broadcast of the cancer treatment contest still began.

President Lin of the live broadcast platform had rented out an entire floor of patient rooms at Chinese Hospital and conveniently set up a resuscitation room and various advanced diagnostic machinery.

Before this, countless people had signed up to participate in this patient competition to cure cancer, so the show’s team conducted a preliminary screening immediately and swiftly contacted those individuals to gather at Chinese Hospital.

After the arrival of the patients, Jiang Moxi and Fu Wangning followed shortly after.

The host began to announce the rules of the competition: "We will carry out a half-month-long treatment competition. During these two weeks, to ensure the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, we will set up individual live broadcasting rooms in each independent patient room so that all netizens can participate and oversee the process."

"Now, there are a total of ten patients with various severities of illness. To ensure fairness, we will determine which of the two doctors will receive five patients each by drawing lots."

After the host’s announcement, the patients began to step forward to draw lots.

Jiang Tairan was also among these ten patients.

Using his relationship with Zhao Guangmei, he had contacted Fu Wangning.

However, Fu Wangning said that she currently did not have time to treat a single patient individually and suggested that if Jiang Tairan didn’t mind, he could consider participating in the cancer treatment competition with her and Jiang Moxi.

Lately, Jiang Tairan had been so tormented by his illness that he accepted Fu Wangning’s proposal.

Standing among the group of patients, he watched Jiang Moxi from a distance. He didn’t approach to greet her, feeling that as an elder, he had humbled himself enough by pleading with Jiang Moxi last time.

Now, he thought it was Jiang Moxi’s turn to approach him and show some goodwill!

But in the end, even though Jiang Moxi saw him, there was no ripple in her gaze, as though she had just seen a stranger.

This made Jiang Tairan’s heart even more blocked, and he inwardly cursed Jiang Moxi: She thinks she’s a little bit successful, and she doesn’t even consider her elders? Such a person is doomed not to go far, just wait and see!

Jiang Tairan, with a bellyful of fire, quickly finished drawing lots.

He opened his lot and found that he had drawn Fu Wangning’s name.

Jiang Tairan felt a mix of emotions, as he had previously heard Mr. Li vividly describe how his elderly mother was cured by Jiang Moxi.

So, he had thought before that it wouldn’t be too bad if he drew Jiang Moxi’s lot.

But now, he had indeed drawn Jiang Moxi’s lot, and his confidence suddenly waned.

Mr. Li indeed had said that his mother had cancer and was cured by Jiang Moxi.

But aside from Mr. Li, he had never heard anyone else mention Jiang Moxi’s medical skills.

Furthermore, Jiang Tairan also thought about how Jiang Moxi’s academic performance had always been at the bottom of the class at Technical College. Such a person, no matter how you look at it, doesn’t seem cut out to be a medical practitioner.

Besides these points, an even more significant reason for Jiang Tairan’s unease about being treated by Jiang Moxi is that he felt their entire family had truly offended Jiang Moxi thoroughly.

Especially since before, they had manipulated public opinion, thrusting Jiang Moxi into the eye of the storm, so Jiang Moxi would surely harbor resentment.

Under such circumstances, even if Jiang Moxi truly possessed miraculous medical skills, how much genuine effort would she put into treating her own relatives?

Jiang Tairan felt that his illness could not afford any delay at this point. He could not waste more time on Jiang Moxi, chasing after that slim possibility.

So he quietly tugged at a fellow patient beside him and asked, "Did you draw Professor Fu’s lot? Could we switch?"

But the patient said, "I wouldn’t exchange it for any amount of money. I got Professor Fu’s lot with my own luck."

Thus, Jiang Tairan tried to exchange lots with others.

But obviously, nearly all patients wanted to be treated by Fu Wangning, rather than serve as practice for Jiang Moxi, who came from a design background.

As a result, not only did Jiang Tairan get rejected, but he was also cursed at: "You don’t want to be somebody else’s guinea pig; your life matters, but ours don’t?"

The person cursing did so loudly, drawing the attention of everyone present.

A few others who had previously drawn Jiang Moxi’s lot also had their complaints.

Now, hearing that someone else was trying to exchange lots, they were ready to do the same.

"So we can exchange lots? Then we want to exchange too!"

"Our lives are at stake as well; we also want to be treated by Professor Fu."

These patients, already tormented by their illnesses to an unspeakable degree, saw a chance at life before them and each one was determined to secure an opportunity to be cured.

Because the live streaming venue became somewhat chaotic at one point, even the staff and Fu Wangning had to join in to calm people down.

Meanwhile, the audience lurking in the live stream room also buzzed with discussion, with some even recognizing Jiang Tairan.

"Isn’t that the person from the Yunshang Charity Dinner live stream, who claimed to be Designer X’s grandfather?"

"Upstairs, I hadn’t noticed until you mentioned it, but it really is him."

"He’s Designer X’s grandfather, so if Designer X really had some extraordinary medical skills, he surely would know. But now he’s leading the charge to exchange lots, which seems quite intriguing!"

"Ha ha ha, looks like Designer X is about to be exposed."

With a wave of fervent discussion online, the conflict at the scene of the live stream escalated further.

Even a patient suggested, "If you don’t switch me to Professor Fu’s lot, I’ll jump off this building right now; it’d be the same as being driven to death by you guys."

Fu Wangning quickly reassured them, "How about this: no matter the outcome of Moxi’s treatment, I promise to treat all of you after this half-month competition without charging any fees."

Professor Fu looked into the camera, showing a sincere and humble smile, eliciting continuous praise.

But those who had drawn Jiang Moxi’s lot were still unwilling to agree.

"By the end of the competition, half a month will have passed, and who can say to what extent our conditions will have progressed!"

"Yeah, and we’d also have to endure the torment by this girl with no foundation in Chinese medicine; we might not even last until that time."

They were still intensely resistant.

Thus, Fu Wangning looked at Jiang Moxi with a troubled expression...
