Chapter 224 - Annoying

“Tell me, what else did they say?” Song Chuyi picked up some beef gently. “You always have the latest news.”

Dr. Xin chuckled. “Some people said the previous incident where your identity was spread and discovered by the patient’s family might’ve been carried out by Dr. Yan. Some even said there would be a change in the positions at the hospital. According to experience, Dr. Yan would most probably be promoted, but he blocked your path. In order for you to take the position rightfully, you caused this drama and maligned Dr. Yan.”

“The hospital gossip is really entertaining.” Song Chuyi sighed softly.

“However… right now, the most important thing is still the mother and son.” Dr. Xin pointed at the sun outside. “It’s almost 40°C outside. If they carry on like this, they’ll get heatstroke. The Gao Family’s case has just been sent to court and is already closely monitored by the public. The Hospital Director definitely wouldn’t want more trouble at this time.”

“Thanks.” Song Chuyi smiled.

“No problem; we’ve been colleagues for so many years already.” Dr. Xin lowered his head and ate.

Song Chuyi finished half of his food and didn’t have much of an appetite. After his meal, he called the hospital’s security officers over and gave them some money to buy an umbrella and some water for Zhou Dong and her son. After that, he returned to Lakeview Residence for a nap. When he reached the hospital, a nurse told him that Zhou Dong fainted at the entrance.

“Didn’t I send them umbrellas and water?” Song Chuyi was slightly frustrated.

“They didn’t use them. She’s now lying in the Emergency Room.”

“Mm, tell me when Zhou Dong wakes up.”

Song Chuyi instructed her lightly and began his afternoon work.

When it was past four, he walked towards Zhou Dong’s bed. Yan Changlong sat by the bed on a chair with water in his hands. He was burnt red and his lips were cracked. When he saw Song Chuyi walking in, he stood up immediately.

“Dr. Song…” Zhou Dong’s eyes were swollen. He was also slightly hoarse and choked. “What do you want before you’ll let our Kehua off? No matter what, he’s just an ordinary doctor. How can he be compared to someone of your status? Just take it that you’re living and let live. Give him a way out. Our entire family can even leave Northern City for good.”

“If you told me this privately in the morning, I would’ve considered it.” Song Chuyi had his hands behind his back and said with a light expression, “However, isn’t it too late to say all this now?”

Zhou Dong let out a painful cry. “I was also too anxious. I didn’t sleep well the entire night yesterday. I was just afraid that something would happen to Kehua. Dr. Song, you’re a generous person; please leave him a way out.”

“Don’t cry to me.” Song Chuyi’s thin lips pressed into a cold line. “How did you two create a scene in public this morning? Now, the entire hospital is discussing this matter secretly. What did the two of you mean by this? Did you want to make the whole world believe that I was the one who brought this upon Yan Kehua? I gave you umbrellas and water and you refused to take them and had to make everyone at the hospital think I was heartless. Are you trying to threaten me?”

Zhou Dong teared up. “Dr. Song, I wouldn’t dare. Kehua told me that the previous incident was caused by him being muddle-headed. When you confronted him then, he should’ve admitted to it. Things can’t be so coincidental. Besides, Kehua has never done those things. Even if you want to teach him a lesson, you can just fire him. If he’s found guilty, he’ll go to jail. He’s still your colleague after all.”

“The Ministry of Justice will investigate whether he did those things or not thoroughly. Don’t look for me anymore.” Song Chuyi moved in front of Yan Changlong slowly.

Yan Changlong glanced at him with a pale face.

Song Chuyi suddenly grabbed his arm and turned his hand over to stop him, putting his hand into his pocket.

Yan Changlong gritted his teeth and resisted. Song Chuyi kicked his knee and successfully took the phone out from his pocket. The recording function was on.

He smiled and smashed the phone on the floor.

Zhou Dong and her son’s faces were ashen.

“Don’t take me for a fool.” Song Chuyi let go of Yan Changlong. His long eyes squinted into a dangerous curve. “From the moment I entered, I noticed that your hand was in your pocket. Every word that your mother said was for me to let Yan Kehua off, waiting for me to fall into the trap of your words. What did you mean by this recording?”

He stepped on the phone and the screen cracked into bits and pieces. “You were going to use it to threaten me, right? Or were you going to hand it over to the media? This is the sincerity a mother and son are showing me to convince me to let Yan Kehua off?”

Zhou Dong’s face was distressed as her teeth and lips trembled. Yan Changlong bared his teeth and went up to him. “It was you who harmed my father in the first place.”

“Rascal, watch your tone.” Song Chuyi pointed at him, warning him with every word. “I’ve said it before. If you had settled it properly in private with sincerity, there would’ve been a chance. Now, the Ministry of Justice will explain things clearly to you. Don’t look for me at the hospital anymore. Otherwise, I’ll make Yan Kehua stay in jail longer.”

After finishing, he crushed the phone ruthlessly once more before turning to leave.

On the way home after work, he received a call from Song Chulang. “I heard that Yan Kehua’s wife and son came to the hospital and made a scene the entire day.”

“I’ve already settled it. They won’t come again,” Song Chuyi said lightly.

“You’re sure you’ve settled it?” Song Chulang was in disbelief. “I heard that there was some conflict going on at the hospital in the afternoon.”

“Enough. How many moles do you have at the hospital?” Song Chuyi said coldly, “Must you know everything that happens?”

“Who am I doing all this for? Isn’t it all to help you get to the position as the Hospital Director? Also, Dad told me to tell you to go home to sleep. Don’t keep sleeping at the Yan Household.” Song Chulang hung up.

Song Chuyi tossed the phone aside with a cold face.

At night, Changqing returned home after singing with her colleagues from the station. When she saw Song Chuchu, who was sitting on the couch and reading emails on his laptop, she walked over with a grin and hooked his neck. “What are you doing?”

“Looking at some resources.” Song Chuyi glanced at her radiant face. “In a good mood?”

“Yeah, I went singing with my colleagues today. For some reason, I hit all the notes that I wasn’t able to hit in the past.” Changqing said with a grin, “Right, also, Li Shaobin called me today. He actually asked me whether he needs to do something to his hair. I suggested he dye it black and cut it short and even recommended him a salon that I felt wasn’t bad. He actually went and even took a picture for me. Let me show you.”

Changqing opened the picture she saved on her phone. Song Chuyi was a little unhappy initially. After hearing all that from Changqing, he was even unhappier and didn’t want to look. However, after glancing at the picture, he was a little dumbfounded.

In the picture, Li Shaobin actually got a buzz cut that was the most difficult for men to pull off. This hairstyle was completely a test of a man’s looks and head shape. After the cut, he seemed to have become a different person. It brought out his sharp chin and fine features fully. On top of that, he was slightly tan, so even Song Chuyi had to admit it was a good cut.

He dared to bet that he might not be able to recognize Li Shaobin immediately the next time Li Shaobin appeared before him.

“It’s not bad, right?” Changqing said with a grin.

“Mm.” Song Chuyi placed his laptop down and pulled her to sit on his lap. He raised his eyebrows. “However, you seem to have gotten closer to him. He even sent you a picture.”

“He’s your friend. Can you not be so petty all the time?” Changqing clung on to his neck. “Right, didn’t you say last time that you would take me overseas after around half a month? It’s almost half a month already and we haven’t even gotten our visas.”

Song Chuyi thought for a while. It would indeed be best for him to stay away for this period of time. “Where do you want to travel?”

“I think it would be better if we went to an island.” Changqing showed her two white teeth. “There are many island countries that don’t require visas. If we still have to get our visas settled, it would take an even longer time. I won’t be free next month. Actually, I’m a very lazy person and I don’t want to go to too many spots. Just rent a slightly romantic little house by the beach. Basking in the sun every day, swimming, and eating is enough for me. I haven’t even gone on a holiday with a man before.”

“Isn’t your dad a man?” Song Chuyi laughed purposely. “Haven’t you gone to Bali with your dad before?”

“Annoying. The man I was referring to isn’t that kind of man.” Changqing leaned on his chest proudly.

A faint smile rippled in Song Chuyi’s eyes. “Then what kind of man are you referring to?”

Changqing snorted. He was too naughty. He clearly knew, yet still had to ask.

“Sure, if you don’t know, then I can only look for other men to go on a holiday with. Perhaps you’ll finally find out what kind of man I was referring to.” Changqing turned her head away and wanted to walk away.

Song Chuyi held on to her waist and his smiling face tensed up dangerously. His thin lips leaned close to her ear and he breathed hoarsely. “You dare?”

“Why wouldn’t I? If you don’t go with me, there are many men waiting to go with me. I’m pretty popular,” Changqing said as she hid from his lips. His breath was too numbing.

Song Chuyi locked her down even tighter. Hence, through her thin clothes, Changqing could finally feel that a certain area was pressing against her thick menstrual pad.

She bit her lips as her face reddened. “I’m on my period.”

“You’ve enraged me, so it will be a bloodbath for the both of us tonight.” Song Chuyi pinched her face with a little sense of punishment. “Which beach do you want to travel to?”

Changqing turned her head back gleefully. “I want to go to the Maldives. Ruan Yang went with Xin Ziao too before. I saw pictures on Ruan Yang’s phone—it’s beautiful. Ruan Yang also said that it’s very suitable for couples to go on a vacation there. I want to stay in a water villa at night. We can stargaze together.”

Song Chuyi listened to her and frowned. “Are you sure that Ruan Yang had a whale of a time previously?”

Changqing was dumbfounded and began to feel indignant for Ruan Yang again. “However, Ruan Yang said it’s beautiful there. We’re different from Ruan Yang and Xin Ziao. I’m your legitimate wife and you aren’t Xin Ziao. If you were like Xin Ziao, I wouldn’t want you anymore.”

As she said that, she leaned into his embrace. Song Chuyi felt that he was carrying the evolved version of Song Qiaoqiao. “Sure, let’s go to the Maldives. You can plan the itinerary.”
