Gu Tong curled her lips into a mocking smile and said, "The marriage report form was approved by the personnel departnt of the Academy, and the marriage certificate was issued by the Association. You think it's not valid just because you say so? Who do you think you are!"
Being legally married does have so perks, as Gu Tong skillfully wielded the identity of Mrs. Li.
"You, I..." Wenjing was about to explode, and said, "I'm his cousin; you have to listen to !"
"I've only heard of n forgetting their mothers after marrying a wife, so you think, a mom can be forgotten, but a cousin?" Gu Tong drawled, looking at her playfully.
"Shaless! I'm going to tell Auntie!" Wenjing stomped her foot, her eyes reddening, tears shimring inside, ready to burst out. She was still too immature, no match for Gu Tong. Just one round, and she'd already been defeated.
"Suit yourself!" Gu Tong said without any fluctuation, thinking anyway, no matter what she did, her mother-in-law would never like her—she had no reason to keep trying to win favor.
Wenjing's emotions were a bit out of control, feeling terribly wronged, and said, "You're just a howrecker! Auntie always said she'd marry to Cousin, but you barged in and stole my marriage..."
"In ancient tis, it was normal for cousins to marry, but the tis have changed, society has progressed. Wenjing, you can't keep those unscientific thoughts; you have to keep up with the tis!" Gu Tong shrugged, saying, "Oh dear, she's even crying now!"
"We're perfectly legitimate; it's you causing trouble, depending on the fact that you're a daughter of the Gu Family. You're shaless..." Wenjing bawled, casting herself directly as the persecuted heroine of so drama series.
Gu Tong's expression grew more serious, and she said, "Don't make it sound like Li Yan is getting ahead through connections. Yes, I'm a daughter of the Gu Family, but I'm also Li Yan's legal wife. Our marriage is under Royal protection, and no one should think of destroying it. That's the fact! Comrade Wenjing, you're also a Royal Doctor; you should be aware of the marriage protection regulations!"
Gu Tong's words left no room for doubt, each sentence striking at Wenjing's most vulnerable points.
"Seeing as it's your first offense, I won't report it to the Royal Family. It wouldn't sound good for anyone if rumors of an illicit affair started when we just got married!"
In her past life, she endured because of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, but in this life, she had no reason to yield to Wenjing.
Thinking of those troubling past mories, Gu Tong couldn't be bothered with her anymore and left the stairwell, leaving the sobbing Wenjing to her own devices.
...
Ward 201.
When Li Yan returned to the ward, all the trainees had already received proper treatnt. The little doctor knew he had made a mistake and was working extra diligently, as if to make ands.
A certain deputy class leader ran over excitedly, saying, "Earl, you're back. That lady... cough, Doctor Gu... is back..."
"You're talking too much!"
Because of Gu Tong's request for a hidden marriage, they hadn't ntioned the marriage to anyone.
But when the marriage registration form was collected, it was that sa deputy class leader who helped, so naturally, he knew.
"Cough, cough, worried, worried..." the deputy class leader awkwardly explained. If not worried, why have soone guard the corridor door, huh!
Bringing up that woman, Li Yan's stern face frosted over once more, the air around him condensing, giving off a vibe that clearly said 'stay away!'
The heavy atmosphere was palpable, and even the trainee huddled in the bed shivered with the chill...
Indeed, that woman had the skill of angering him! Li Yan adjusted his mood, propping his chin with one hand, trying to calm himself!
A faint scent wafted into his nose...
He sniffed his palm—that woman's scent!
Damn, flip the table.
How can life go on like this!
