Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 512 - 511: Poor Professor Wu Da

"This master isn't short of money, and he doesn't sell his work. I only got him to polish this piece for me because we have some connections," Tang Yahui explained.

"No way, is it really that exaggerated? A master who doesn't sell his work?" Wu Yili exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, there are. You just haven't seen one. Now, please give me back the pendant," Tang Yahui urged, unable to hide her impatience as Wu Yili still hadn't returned the pendant after talking for so long.

The jade nurtured the wearer, imparting a calming and tranquil effect that made one feel completely relaxed. Having grown accustomed to the jade's constant presence for two months, Tang Yahui suddenly felt a sensation of loss when it wasn't on her.

"Come on, Manager Tang, aren't you being a bit stingy? Can't I look at it a bit longer?" Wu Yili rolled her eyes at Tang Yahui, then continued to admire the pendant under the light for a long while before reluctantly handing it back to Tang Yahui.

"It's absolutely natural and stunningly beautiful, like a drop of violet-colored water endowed with spirit!" Once Tang Yahui put the pendant back on, the violet jade against her fair skin made her look even more glamorous, prompting Wu Yili to praise endlessly.

"Alright, Professor Wu, stop admiring it and let's order some food!" Tang Yahui said.

"I originally invited you out to eat to clear my mind, but now my heart feels even more congested," Wu Yili said after ordering, handing the menu back to the waiter and rolling her eyes at Tang Yahui.

"Is it really that exaggerated!" Tang Yahui said, laughing and crying at the same time.

"It's exactly that exaggerated. I used to have no interest in things like jade or diamonds, but after seeing your jade pendant today, I suddenly really want one too. You know, when a woman can't get what she wants, doesn't that clog up her heart?" Wu Yili said.

"I can't help you there. If it were any other jade carving master, with my connections in the circle, I could introduce you and possibly get you some discount. But with him, I really can't do anything," Tang Yahui said helplessly.

The longer Tang Yahui wore the jade pendant, the more she realized its priceless value—it simply wasn't something money could buy.

"Forget it, forget it. What's meant to be will be, and what's not shouldn't be forced. Let's not talk about jade anymore; it just adds to the frustration," Wu Yili said.

"What exactly is bothering you so much, Professor Wu? It couldn't be because too many people are pursuing you, could it?" Tang Yahui, glad they shifted away from the topic of jade, couldn't help but tease with a laugh.

"You actually guessed right. Not only that, but because of my age, the school leaders and some old classmates keep introducing me to these so-called elite and successful individuals. It seems to be getting worse lately. What I fear most is occasionally encountering some unbearable people who just won't leave me alone. It gives me such a headache," Wu Yili said gloomily.

"Giggle! Poor Professor Wu!" Tang Yahui was slightly taken aback that she guessed correctly, then pursed her lips and giggled.

"Hey, what kind of attitude is that? Are you still my best friend, rejoicing in my misfortune?" Wu Yili said with a roll of her eyes, seeing that Tang Yahui was not comforting her but instead laughing continuously.

"Having suitors is better than having none at all. Just pick one that seems decent enough," Tang Yahui said, trying to suppress her laughter.

"Easy for you to say. I'd rather devote my life to scientific research than just settle for someone to end my single status," Wu Yili said.

"Don't say that. With that attitude, you'll end up walking in my shoes. Look at me, now. How pitiful I am, not a single compassionate man by my side," Tang Yahui urgently advised.

"Oh please, Manager Tang, if you were willing to lower your standards, would you not have a compassionate man by your side?" Wu Yili said.

Tang Yahui was at a loss for words upon hearing this and only after a long while did she heave a long sigh, "Hasn't the reality already proved that my decision back then was wrong? Look, I dragged it on and on until now, and I'm at this awkward age."

"I don't see anything wrong with it, worst comes to worst, I'll just stay single for life," Wu Yili said nonchalantly.

"Alright then, keep dragging it on. If you do end up single for life, when we're old, we sisters can travel the world together," Tang Yahui said with a laugh, though her laughter held a tinge of bitterness.

"Sure. But that's something for later. The urgent matter is to figure out how to quickly get rid of those people meddling in my personal life, it's even affecting my research and teaching." Wu Yili said frustratedly.

"That's easy. Just find a fake boyfriend. Once they know you're already 'taken,' those people will naturally back off," Tang Yahui suggested.

"What kind of idea is that? With my personality, if I could accept a man as my fake boyfriend and act all lovey-dovey with him, he might as well be my real boyfriend. Besides, even putting my personality aside, even if I could accept having a fake boyfriend, what if it leads to inviting trouble I can't get rid of? That would be trapping myself," Wu Yili complained irritably.

"That's true. There's no man who doesn't like a beautiful woman. With our Professor Wu being so beautiful, charming, and talented, unless the guy is gay, it would be no surprise if he got addicted to pretending and then wants to make it real," Tang Yahui remarked.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something else," Wu Yili said, starting to feel somewhat annoyed.

It was Monday morning and Ge Dongxu had classes, so he headed back to his dorm early.

In the dorm, all three of his roommates had already gotten up and were taking turns primping in front of the mirror.

He Guizhong was using an electric razor, repeatedly shaving his stubble in front of the mirror, while Lu Lei was flamboyantly styling his flowing "locks" in front of the mirror. As for Li Chenyu, having neither stubble to shave nor flowing locks to style, he neatly combed his hair until it was sleek and shiny.

"Dongxu! Who could've guessed, really, who could've guessed! Always so quiet and honest-looking, and you turned out to be the first one to spend the night out!" Upon seeing Ge Dongxu return, all three stopped their "primping," sized him up from head to toe, and then pointed at him in unison with a look of indignant disbelief as they spoke.

"Class is about to start, aren't you guys leaving yet?" Ge Dongxu ignored them and took a higher mathematics textbook, along with pens and notebooks, from the shelf, then asked.

"Hehe, don't change the subject. Spill the beans, where did you spend the night yesterday?" The three of them surrounded Ge Dongxu, asking with sleazy grins.

"At a friend's place," Ge Dongxu looked at the three, clearly aware they wouldn't let him go without a full confession, so he reluctantly replied.

"A girl or a boy?" The three immediately pressed.

"A girl," Ge Dongxu replied.

"Is she pretty?" they quickly followed up.

"Very pretty," Ge Dongxu replied.

"Pfft! Keep dreaming!" Upon hearing this, the three instantly felt relieved and gave Ge Dongxu a contemptuous gesture.
