Chapter 679 - Press Conference IV
Both old men climbed the stage and looked at Xie Ming with a grin. She stood up in a daze while Liwei greeted them and pulled seats for them to sit on.
" Xie Ming, why are you so shocked? Do you think that I won't come to support my dear discipline?" Grandfather Su said but he winced in pain when Old Lu pinched him on his waist and said in a low voice, " Lower your voice old man. Everyone can hear your voice without you using your mic. You're embarrassing me."
"OH, Shut up! Stop acting like you're in the spotlight today. You're just here to support her and not to sign autographs for people. You're an old man, so just act like one. Stop nagging me like my mother."
Xie Ming let out a laugh seeing the two men fighting like children. However, she was pleased that they came to support her. She knows that Liwei has planned all this but she felt touched with their gestures.
As she was about to sit down, she heard whispers among the crowd and turned to look towards the entrance. Her eyes widened in shock to see the slender figure walking towards the stage, with her sling bag on her shoulder.
Su Jin was wearing a hot red body fit dress, with matching heels, and was walking towards the stage while looking as if she was going to the club after this press conference.
Not only that, but Lu Feng was also following her and was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. Since he was not wearing his doctor's coat today and was dressed up neatly, it was a little difficult to recognize him.
She turned to Liwei and asked in a low voice, " You called them as well?"
He pursed his lips and shook his head as he whispered, " I invited Mr. Lu and Mr. Su only. I didn't invite them."
" I invited Su Jin. More the merrier, you know." Grandfather Su said while flashing his bright smile.

Liwei and Xie Ming smiled awkwardly. This looks more like a party than a press conference. The reporters were also shocked to see those two mysterious people who just entered the venue.
Su Jin and Lu Feng made their way to the stage and Su Jin greeted the couple excitedly while Lu Feng greeted and apologized for trespassing into their press conference.
" Ah, what are you saying? What trespassing? Xie Ming, do you think that we are trespassing to your press conference?"
Xie Ming laughed and shook her head, "Not at all."
The reporters were looking at them in bewilderment wondering who these two people were. Other than the two old men, they were unaware of the two young people who just came and looked rather close to Xie Ming. They assumed that they must be actors or from the same industry just like Xie Ming.
…..
The press conference resumed again.
"Mr. Lu and?Su, are you both here to support Xie Ming during this press conference?"
.
" Yes. We are." Old Lu said.
" You both are known as the most prominent figures when it comes to the medical field. Then why are you supporting Xie Ming's dangerous and careless acts? Her negligence could have taken someone's life, after all." The reporter said matter of factly.
Old Lu glanced at Grandfather Su, who signaled him to answer this question.
Old Lu nodded and stood up from his seat walking towards the podium. Grandfather Su frowned and looked at the mic on the table.
'He doesn't need to go there to answer though.' He shook his head seeing how embarrassing his acts are.
'This old man only knows how to act cool but in reality, he is too old fashioned.'
Old Lu looked over the reporters and fixed his mic before speaking.
" You guys must be confused why the director of Life Hospital is here to support an actress who puts people's lives in danger with her careless actions right? Well, I came here not because I know her but because I have a say in this matter. Because the woman on which Xie Ming did acupuncture when she got into an accident, was my daughter in law, Yang Mi."
Reporters' eyes widened in shock when they heard this. When they heard the name of the woman who got into the accident, their curiosity perked up. Almost all the reporters know about the Yang family and their relationship with the Lu's. Since the Yang family is quite known among the entertainment field, they recognized Yang Mi right away.
In the video, the uploader has blurred the face of the woman, so they were unaware of the victim of the accident but only Xie Ming's face was clear. However, upon hearing the truth from the Old Lu, they couldn't process their thoughts. If that woman was his daughter in law, then why did he come to support her? Shouldn't he be furious about her actions?
" Yang Mi was pregnant when she got into an unfortunate road accident. The accident was so bad and life-threatening that if her treatment had been delayed even for 15 more minutes, we could have lost, both mother and the baby. And these are not my words, these are the words of the doctor in charge who checked on Yang Mi after she was moved to the hospital."
" My daughter in law was at the end of her trimester when this happened. Since it was the case of late pregnancy, it was more dangerous than others. But that accident made it worse for her. However, it was all because of Xie Ming's magical acupuncture skills, that not only Yang Mi survived but the baby as well. Not only that, she even gave birth to a baby girl yesterday, all thanks to Ms. Xie Ming."
By now, no one knew the condition of the woman and was expecting something unfortunate might have happened to the victim since everyone was speculating Xie Ming's actions as threatening. However, upon hearing his words, their questions became more hesitant.
" But...this...this does not make her actions valid, does it? She doesn't have a doctor's degree and using acupuncture on a patient requires a valid certificate." Another reporter stood up and asked.
Old Lu sighed and turned to Xie Ming who was sitting on her seat with a poker face. She looked relaxed and was sitting there as if they were not talking about her. He looked at her and asked through the mic, " You didn't show them the documents, did you?"
"-_-"
"-_-"
The reporters were shocked hearing his words as they turned to Xie Ming unconsciously. What's happening? What documents?
Xie Ming smiled awkwardly and said, " Ah, not yet."
Old Lu took a deep breath and turned to the reporters again.
"Now I understand why you are acting like this. It's because you aren't aware of the latest news."
" The woman you're treating as stupid and careless is the head of our hospital's newly established oriental medicine department. She is not just a beautiful actress you used to know but she is the newly appointed head doctor of our oriental medicine department. And of course, she has a practice license as well. About her medical achievements, Old Su can give you a clear view." He excused himself by saying this and went to his seat leaving the reporters in shock.
They stared at Xie Ming with their mouth opened in shock. This news was too much for them to digest.
…..
The people who were watching the broadcast were in shock too. What's happening?
[ Hell! What a twist. Xie Ming is the head doctor of the Chinese medicine department in Life hospital?]
[ See. This is the list of doctors of the Chinese medicine department in Life hospital that I found out from their website and Xie Ming's name was mentioned as the head doctor. Is this for real? Is she leaving the entertainment industry?]
[ I can't process my thoughts right now. What's happening? Wasn't she just an actress? Didn't someone say that she studied business as her major? How come she became the doctor?]
[ So, she was aware of what she was doing when she was putting the needles...I mean doing the acupuncture on the pregnant woman. I am thrilled.]
[ This is getting interesting. Let's see how it goes. We are yet to hear the words of great Master Su Luozhang. This is more interesting than the movie itself. Keke.]
