1011: 719 Thank you for your generous favor (Thank you, Alliance Leader!!!) 1011: 719 Thank you for your generous favor (Thank you, Alliance Leader!!!) After all, they weren’t very close, so Yu Feihong and Mao Dun definitely wouldn’t ask too much about each other’s personal lives.
The key was that Tong Dan also refrained from passing judgnt.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Perhaps it was because of Ding He’s incident that she was alerted.
Even if they were close as sisters, there were so things she shouldn’t ddle with too much; otherwise, she might do more harm than good with her well-intended actions.
“I’m going to get so water.”
Taking the standard-issue thermos from the single patient room, Tong Dan stepped out of the ward and headed to the water room.
“Whoosh…”
The hot water poured out scalding hot.
Lawsuits were a dead end.
And they didn’t really know any powerful people.
Could they really only accept humiliation and retreat proactively?
While Tong Dan was distracted, her phone rang—it was a voice call.
Tong Dan turned off the tap, took out her phone, stared at the display screen for a mont as if frozen, and then answered.
“What’s up?”
Her tone wasn’t exactly cold, but neither was it warm.
“Haven’t you gone to rest yet?”
It was Jiang Chen.
After much thought, he always felt that sothing was off with Fang Qing.
Among the people he knew, the person closest to Fang Qing was only Tong Dan.
“No.”
Tong Dan held the phone with one hand and closed the thermos with the other.
“Have you been in touch with Fang Qing recently?”
Jiang Chen got straight to the point—just because Fang Qing didn’t want to tell him didn’t an Tong Dan didn’t know, given their close relationship.
Hearing this, Tong Dan’s repressed mood sowhat lifted.
At least Jiang Chen, this guy, had a bit of conscience.
A single phone call and he sensed sothing unusual about Fang Qing.
She could understand why Fang Qing chose to hide it earlier.
Indeed.
Jiang Chen had indeed changed, but like them, his starting point was too low compared to those born into wealth and nobility.
Telling him wouldn’t help at all but would just add to his worries.
“No, I’ve been quite busy lately.
What’s wrong with Fang Qing?”
“Nothing much, it’s just that I called her earlier and she suddenly told she had resigned from Tianhe, but just a few days ago when I visited her, she was fine…”
“That damned law firm is bound to close down soon!”
Tong Dan couldn’t control her emotions.
Jiang Chen’s tone beca slightly stiff.
Realizing her slip of the tongue, Tong Dan quickly changed the subject, “Are you in Capital City?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Chen, being a shrewd person, could easily tell that Tong Dan was hiding sothing from him, reinforcing his belief that Fang Qing must be facing so trouble.
ddling in others’ affairs wasn’t a good habit, but Fang Qing’s matters were no trivial issues.
Setting aside their friendship, there was also Uncle Fang and Aunt Pan who treated him as their own, not to ntion his parents who had always held affection for Fang Qing, even from beyond.
Jiang Chen rembered how, back in elentary and junior high school, his mother often reminded him to protect Fang Qing as a man, although his mother didn’t know that he himself had always been the one bullied.
“What are you doing in Capital City?”
“I’ve got a friend who is sick.
I ca with her to get treatnt in Capital City.”
“That’s loyal of you.”
Tong Dan’s comnt was ambiguously appreciative.
“Not quite the example set by Tong the Beauty.”
Jiang Chen laughed, but Tong Dan wasn’t in the mood to bicker with him as she used to; instead, she uncharacteristically replied, “I can’t compare to you.
Anyone who becos friends with ends up unlucky.”
Listening to the unusually serious tone on the other end, Jiang Chen frowned.
He knew Tong Dan’s character fairly well—beneath her fashionable and gleaming exterior was a spirited heart, and her earnestness in work revealed so clues.
“What happened to make you talk this way about yourself.”
Jiang Chen feigned a casual laugh.
“You don’t need to pry; I won’t tell you.
Fang Qing didn’t tell you because she didn’t want to trouble you.”
“How can it be considered trouble?”
Jiang Chen also dropped his smile, speaking earnestly, “I’ve known her for so many years, her issues are my issues.”
Hearing this, Tong Dan fell silent.
“Jiang Chen, you don’t need to ask so much; you can’t help anyway.”
“Well, at least let know what it is.
Tong Dan, you know how Fang Qing is—she always wants to shoulder everything herself, only turning to others when she can’t bear it anymore.
But if she has to handle all the pressure alone, then what’s the point of having friends?”
Tong Dan didn’t want to say more, but ultimately, she was moved by Jiang Chen’s sincerity.
Compared to Jiang Chen, she felt like an outsider.
If Jiang Chen ca over, perhaps Fang Qing’s mood might improve.
“…I can’t tell you.
If you really want to know, co to the hospital.”
Hospital?
Jiang Chen frowned heavily, his voice dropping imdiately, “Which hospital?”
“Tongji.”
With that, Tong Dan hung up the voice call and walked out with the thermos.
Gongyuan No.
6.
As an old-money area in Capital City, this residential area had always carried a mystical allure in the eyes of Capital City’s residents.
Unlike the superficial luxury of Sky Gardens, Gongyuan No.
6 had a profound legacy.
It was said that over a decade ago, a leading coal tycoon from the West Mountain had co with two bags of cash wanting to buy property at Gongyuan No.
6, only to be rejected.
The coal tycoon, who had never faced such humiliation, wasn’t one to back down, insisting on his way until he was thrown out.
The authenticity of the story was debatable, but it was undeniable that the people living here were exceptional.
A Red Flag L5 drove smoothly into the mysterious Gongyuan No.
6, stopping in front of a traditional Chinese-style courtyard.
