Masterful Miracle Doctor

"These are precisely unprocessed raw diamonds."

The lieutenant explained, "The general said this is the guest's token of gratitude for your life-saving kindness, and it's well deserved by you. You can definitely accept it."

Lin Jie understood that this statement was equivalent to Meng Yang vouching for him.

However, he never had any psychological burden about accepting gifts from patients.

Lin Jie smiled softly and said, "I'll accept this gift. Please thank General Meng for me, and if you meet that guest, convey my gratitude as well."

"Yes, sir!"

The lieutenant saluted again and turned to leave.

An Kexin placed the six raw diamonds in her palm, examining them, and sighed, "Before cutting and polishing, these priceless diamonds have no luster. If they were dropped on the ground, no one might even pick them up."

She suddenly thought of something and said, "Hey, Arjie, someone specifically told me that diamonds are the biggest marketing scam in the world, and they're not worth that much money."

"Really? Are you sure?" Lin Jie pressed!

An Kexin said softly, "It was a classmate of mine who commented under my picture showing off the diamond ring, with a tone full of envy, jealousy, and hatred."

"However, I specifically checked some related news online, and indeed there are many analytical articles that say so."

"These articles say that the upstream sources of diamonds are tightly controlled by a few big companies, and the prices are excessively inflated. Moreover, diamonds in the hands of consumers have poor repurchase, liquidity, and value retention compared to gold and other precious metals."

Lin Jie uttered an "oh" and said, "No wonder this African guy gave me a few big diamonds all at once. It turns out the value of raw diamonds is not very high at the upstream manufacturers."

"However, the diamond industry has been around for so long, even if it's not appreciating, it's unlikely to suddenly crash. These few raw diamonds should still be worth a lot."

He thought for a while and decided, "Kexin, you know many people, see how much these raw diamonds can sell for. If someone wants them and the price is right, go ahead and sell them."

"Okay, I'll ask around."

An Kexin placed the raw diamonds into a small velvet pouch, then put it into her small handbag. She wrapped Lin Jie's arm and said coquettishly, "Arjie, even if diamond prices plummet to cabbage prices, I won't part with that diamond ring."

"Because it's our token of love."

Lin Jie echoed, "Hmm, keep it always, and pass it on to our children in the future!"

He wasn't too worried about the diamond's value retention either.

Rich and not worried about income, Lin Jie no longer cared much about the over one million spent on the diamond ring.

After walking a dozen meters on campus, they heard the melodious sound of a flute coming from a small grove not far away.

This flute sound reminded An Kexin of something, and she said, "Miaomiao said you've been practicing the saxophone at home these days and progressing fast?"

"Kemeng also told me you can play some simple tunes now? Is this true?"

"Pretty much true, I am a genius after all, I learn everything quickly," Lin Jie replied sheepishly.

The day after buying the saxophone, Lin Jie couldn't resist the urge and tried to play it in the study.

When the first note was played, the classic saxophone piece "Going Home" popped into Lin Jie's mind and he naturally played it out.

After the performance, Zhang Xiaoxiao entered the study, saw Lin Jie with the saxophone, and asked in surprise if he was the one playing just now?

Lin Jie immediately realized and hurriedly lied, claiming it was the original soundtrack playing on the computer, and he was just enjoying it.

He also told Zhang Xiaoxiao that he would practice the saxophone from now on as a way to relax his mind.

Since then, Lin Jie deliberately played the saxophone randomly when Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lin Miao were home, demonstrating that he was regularly practicing.

An Kexin was extremely supportive of Lin Jie cultivating a musical hobby.

She laughed softly, "I know you're a genius who learns everything fast. When you get it down, you must play a good piece for me!"

Lin Jie nodded, adding, "Of course, actually one of my goals in learning an instrument is to play 'The Moon Represents My Heart' for you at our wedding."

An Kexin stopped, kissed Lin Jie's cheek lightly, and said emotionally, "Arjie, you always make me feel happiness and your love unexpectedly."

"Arjie, you're so wonderful!"

Lin Jie chuckled foolishly, resolving secretly that he must master "The Moon Represents My Heart."

"Arjie, how has Kemeng been studying while hiding at your place these days, has she been slacking off?"

"She's been quite diligent in her studies."

Lin Jie recalled, "Xiaoxiao said that most of the day, she was studying that bone while checking against the book, or practicing stitching techniques with old clothes."

"In the evenings when I came home, I also saw that she wasn't watching TV with Miaomiao, but sitting at one end of the sofa reading."

He laughed, "I haven't checked on Kemeng's learning results, so I'm not sure, but at least she's developed courage."

"Anyway, when she sleeps, the bone is placed on the bedside table, and she can see it as soon as she wakes up."

An Kexin gasped and asked in surprise, "Miaomiao isn't scared? Don't they sleep together?"

"Sleeping together, but Miaomiao isn't scared at all, she's much braver than someone else."

The person saying this, Lin Jie, had a face full of implications.

An Kexin huffed angrily and twisted Lin Jie's arm, complaining, "You two siblings are freaks, not someone ordinary like me can compare to!"

At this moment, Lin Jie noticed a few meters away, a woman dressed in a shirt and capri pants, with a tall figure and ordinary looks, watching him and An Kexin with a foreign man, either faintly smiling or not.

Lin Jie glanced a couple of times, confirmed he didn't know this woman with small eyes and a flat nose, nor the foreign man, so he tugged on An Kexin's arm and pointed to the woman ahead, saying, "Kexin, look..."

"Yuehua, you're back..."

Before Lin Jie could finish, An Kexin exclaimed, releasing Lin Jie's arm, and ran over.

The two hugged intimately, jumping up and down with excitement.

An Kexin turned her head to look at Lin Jie and said with a smile, "Ah Jie, let me introduce you, this is my cousin, my uncle's precious little princess, Chen Yuehua."

Lin Jie suddenly understood, so she was Chen Shi's daughter who studied medicine abroad, back for Chen Fanzhi's wedding.

He looked at Chen Yuehua again, only then noticing that her face vaguely showed one or two traces of Chen Shi.

It's just that...

Chen Shi wasn't unattractive, and Chen Fanzhi was even tall and handsome, this Chen Yuehua, apart from having a decent height and a reasonably good figure, her looks were just barely average.

This Chen Yuehua's luck is really bad, it seems the genetic combination didn't work out well.

Feeling a bit regretful, Lin Jie walked over to them and greeted, "Hello, Chen Yuehua, I'm Lin Jie..."

"I know you."

Chen Yuehua held An Kexin's arm, sizing up Lin Jie, saying, "Dad has mentioned you more than once, saying you're a once-in-a-century medical genius, unmatched both in heaven and on earth."

She smiled warmly and said, "Whether you're a medical genius, I can't tell, but I can at least confirm, you're a heartthrob that makes one drool. I really envy my cousin."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you!"

Chen Yuehua pointed to the foreign man beside her and said, "This is Bird Cahill, my boyfriend. I brought him back with me this time to meet my parents."

At the same time, Chen Yuehua introduced Lin Jie and An Kexin to Bird Cahill in English.

Bird nodded slightly to Lin Jie and said in English, "Hello, Mr. Lin Jie! Mr. Chen Shi has introduced you to me with many compliments, just that I haven't seen many things myself, so I can't fairly evaluate."

Lin Jie understood what he meant, just didn't believe it.

Then Bird continued, "However, Mr. Chen Shi said you are a rare general medicine genius."

"Mr. Lin Jie, the trend in medical development is increasingly specialized branches, one's energy is limited, general practice represents broad but not specialized."

"In the United States, general practitioners can be family doctors, but the work is very hard, and the income is quite different compared to specialized doctors."

Lin Jie knew about general practitioners in the United States.

They are generally called family doctors, setting up clinics in the community and serving nearby residents.

Because of the United States medical insurance system, residents who have joined insurance will have a fixed family doctor to serve them. When they feel unwell, they first go to their family doctor for an appointment.

If the condition is severe, and the family doctor cannot diagnose or treat it, the family doctor will refer the patient to a higher hospital or respective specialist.

In many US medical insurance systems, only the medical expenses generated by referrals from one's designated family doctor to a higher hospital or specialist will be reimbursed.

Bird continued, "Dr. Lin Jie, since you received praise from Mr. Chen Shi, you must have a talent for medical study. I strongly suggest you choose the most suitable speciality for in-depth study."

This suggestion was actually well-considered, but Lin Jie's situation is quite unusual.

He couldn't explain it well, so he politely replied in English, "Thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it."

Chen Yuehua proudly said, "Lin Jie, Kexin, Bird is an attending ophthalmologist, he once interned for six months under Dr. Dadof."

"Who Dr. Dadof is, you may not know, I'll just tell you one thing, he is one of the top five ophthalmic surgeons in the United States..."

Listening to Chen Yuehua bragging, An Kexin almost had the urge to roll her eyes.

She really wanted to tell Chen Yuehua, the one next to her, the one Bird was giving advice to, when it comes to ophthalmology skills, is at least on par with Dr. Dadof, if not above.

However, knowing Chen Yuehua's personality, An Kexin forced herself to hold back.

"Kexin, we came back yesterday, just adjusted the jet lag. Seeing you this time, we should have a meal and chat, but we have to attend an afternoon tea event at the British Consulate, so..."

An Kexin quickly said, "It's fine, there are still a few days before my cousin's wedding, we have plenty of time to gather. Moreover, Ah Jie and I also made an appointment with a studio to discuss the customization of traditional Chinese wedding attire."

As Chen Yuehua and Bird walked away, An Kexin let out a sigh of relief and said with ease, "Ah Jie, my cousin Yuehua has always liked to compare with me since we were little, and always enjoyed taking my things..."

"Luckily she came back with her boyfriend this time, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what, are you worried she would take me away?"

Lin Jie glared at her angrily and complained, "Is my discernment really that poor? One's an ugly duckling, the other's a dazzling beauty, such a stark contrast, even a blind person would know who to choose."
