"No, no—" Su Yide repeatedly denied, "I just happened to think it was gallstones; I never expected—"
"Never expected what? You clearly made the wrong diagnosis, and now I have to go apologize to the patient’s family. Tell , isn’t it bad luck to have followed a chief physician like you who can’t even asure up to a hospital stay!" After berating Su Yide, the young man turned and left.
Su Yide was of course seething with anger, but was completely helpless. It could be said that in the past, each of these people knew he was a favorite of the high director, and they all tried eagerly to curry favor with him. But now, after the downfall of the Su Family, it was truly a case of everyone turning against him when the walls ca tumbling down, not to ntion kicking him, Su Yide, while he was down.
The vicissitudes of life were cruel; before, when he had money, he didn’t feel it that much, only finding Tang Sili particularly detestable, but now everyone had beco so loathso. Even the high director, whom Su Yide began to hate, seed more detestable than Tang Sili. This was because if the high director hadn’t changed his tune, Su Yide wouldn’t have fallen to this low.
Lifting his foot, Su Yide just suppressed his anger and was about to leave.
Xiao Shulan, who erged from a shadowy place ahead, seed to block his way.
Su Yide blinked and called out, "Mrs. Kang?"
"Dr. Su, it seems we’ve t before."
Upon hearing Xiao Shulan’s words, Su Yide imdiately latched on as if he had seized sothing, nodding, "Yes, last ti, I had the honor of showing the way to Mrs. Kang."
Xiao Shulan’s lips curved into a subtle arc. In truth, she and Su Yide had never had any previous interactions because even she had looked down on this Doctor Su. Basically, Su Yide’s dical skills were too poor compared to Tang Sili; he was thoroughly incomparable and of no use at all.
But now, it seed the situation was different. The high director was as slippery as an eel, speaking with half-truths that left her unable to grasp anything solid, which made him seem unreliable to her now. And Tang Sili, who was so stubborn, actually refused her bribes.
Who could she now depend on in this hospital to do her bidding? It seed this man before her could accomplish so tasks for her.
Perhaps his dical skills were not up to par, but in the hospital, those who did her bidding didn’t necessarily need to have good dical skills.
Su Yide stood across from her, and upon seeing the fleeting expressions on her face, as soone of the sa ilk, he quickly understood what the other was scheming in her heart. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitent. If he could latch on to Xiao Shulan, this new patron, it would be akin to him having a new lease on life.
"Mrs. Kang, is there anything I can do for you?"
Very good, quite with the tis; this implied he might have done quite a few such favors for others before. Xiao Shulan smiled, "There are so matters, indeed, that I hope Dr. Su can help with, and only Dr. Su can accomplish."
Su Yide’s expression grew serious as he said, "Please rest assured, Mrs. Kang. I will certainly handle your matters well."

The Gu Family
Guests had arrived, and the midday al would definitely have to be very lavish.
Gu’s mother had prepared a day in advance, purchasing all the groceries early. She knew from previous als with her son-in-law that he liked seafood, so Gu’s mother spared no expense at the market to buy the freshest seafood for her son-in-law.
The seafood soup prepared was brimming with crabs and large prawns, making Gu’s father gape in surprise. He thought back to when Wa Zicong was courting his daughter for so many years; whenever he ca to their house for a al, Gu’s mother had never gone to such lengths.
Of course, this was not to say Gu’s mother was biased, but rather that back then, Wa Zicong had not shown any particular liking for seafood.
If Big White knew about this, he would certainly make another remark: "My wife’s ex is just stupid. Hiding even this simple thing? How could you make your mother-in-law love you?"
