Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: Agreed to See the Doctor

“Not exposing her in the media is a completely different concept.”

There were rumors circulating in the circle before that the reason why the Chu Family kept their daughter hidden was because Miss Chu was too ugly, and another rumor claimed that Miss Chu was ill, practically a walking medicine jar.

These two rumors were the most widespread.

But now it seems that Chu Xi is neither ugly nor in poor health, and the Chu Family is so permissive that they even let her enter the entertainment industry.

So, what’s the reason for the Chu Family’s “distrust” in Chu Xi?

A faint idea began to emerge in his mind.

Li Shengxiao had been in control of the Li Group since he was 16, transforming it from a traditional company burdened with debts into a super business empire that ventured into various new industries, with a focus on investment, through his thunderous methods. His presence was definitely not something a young woman like Chu Xi, who was only scraping by in the entertainment industry, could compare to. Once he unleashed his pressure, even Chu Xi would struggle to withstand it.

“It’s because they’ve confirmed that Mr. Li is one of the few young talents, a perfect match in social status, so they worry that I’ll get carried away and miss out on you. After all, I entered the entertainment industry on a whim, and they couldn’t control me. If it happens again, it would be different from entering the entertainment industry. It would be more difficult to find another young talent like you.”

This explanation seemed barely plausible, but Li Shengxiao still felt something was off.

Chu Xi had already diverted the topic, “You’re going to see that doctor for your headache, right? Susan is a bit peculiar, so if you want to see her, I have to take you to her, or she won’t see patients.”

Without waiting for Li Shengxiao to speak, she quickly added, “I know Mr. Li has immense power, but you can’t exactly go against her nature. She needs to be willing to treat you, and if she isn’t, it’s useless, even if you visit her. She might give you a cursory check and tell you nothing is wrong even if there is a problem. What can you do about it? Don’t worry; you can check Susan’s credentials. I’m not planning to take you to her immediately. I need to contact her first and check her availability.”

She blinked her eyes and added, “Of course, I’m not helping for free. If she really has a way to cure your headache, then you owe me a favor. I’ll ask you to repay it later.”

If she offered her help completely free of charge and eagerly ran around, Li Shengxiao would be even more suspicious. Her straightforward demand for a future reward made Li Shengxiao feel a bit more at ease.

Personally, he didn’t care about the headaches; after all, he had medicine. Moreover, he had Rong Yan, whom he considered the unique cure in the world–he cared even less about whether he was treated or not.

But Chu Xi had made an impression on him.

The headache ailment wasn’t just his problem; Li Duidui had it too. That little woman had originally returned the child to treat this hereditary disease, which had given him the opportunity to find her. If there was a chance to treat the little guy, she would probably be happier than anyone. If she were here, even knowing that Chu Xi wasn’t entirely reliable, she’d most likely want to try, for the sake of the rare opportunity.

Therefore…After a brief thought, Li Shengxiao’s piercing gaze settled on Chu Xi, and he finally gave a positive response, “I’ll look into it first. Once I’ve made sure, I’ll contact you. If it’s useful, I can owe you a favor. As long as it’s nothing excessive, you can use this favor in exchange.”
