Second update.
-------------------
"Director Qiu is really too dedicated; those working with her are exhausted." Luo Xiaoqiong sighed, "I heard her daughter was sick, and she still didn’t attend to her. From a patient’s perspective, such a person is amazing, but as her family, it’s quite disappointing."
"It’s fine for us to say this among ourselves, but don’t let outsiders hear it." Zhao Qiliang sternly warned Luo Xiaoqiong.
"Do you really think I’m that stupid..." Luo Xiaoqiong glanced at him speechlessly, "If I were as dumb as you think, would Director Xu let be her assistant?"
"I was wrong." Zhao Qiliang quickly admitted his mistake, "Our Assistant Luo definitely doesn’t need anyone to worry pointlessly about her; I’m just fussing over unnecessary matters."
"What do you think?" Luo Xiaoqiong rolled her eyes at him and chuckled, "But honestly, I never thought I would get to live like this soday.
I rember back then, Chuxia and I were most worried about growing up and marrying into different villages, only seeing each other once or twice a year, eting a good man and living smoothly, or eting a jerk and enduring beatings and scolding as a daily occurrence..."
Zhao Qiliang interrupted her speechlessly, "How old were you when you thought about that?"
"Before sixteen, I guess. After that incident, Chuxia was mad at and stopped talking about these things with . I’m telling you, initially, I thought she was so sick she beca silly.
Before, even when she was mad at , as long as I coaxed her, after two tries at most, she would happily play with again. But that ti, no matter how I tried to coax her, she just said it was nothing, but didn’t talk or play with . It scared to death."
"That was ages ago, why are you bringing it up again?" Chuxia looked at her speechlessly, "Are you reminiscing about the good old tough days?"
"Yeah, just reminding you, lest you forget the days we spent together..." Luo Xiaoqiong sighed deeply, "Maybe soon, we’ll only get to see each other once a week."
Chuxia joked with a mischievous smile, "Don’t worry, even if it’s once a month, it’s impossible for to forget you, dear sister-in-law."
Stealing a glance at Zhao Qiliang, Luo Xiaoqiong rolled her eyes and changed the topic, "By the way, Chuxia, the new hospital director is particularly old-fashioned, so you have to be careful."
"You’re worrying too much. I’m just an ordinary intern; chances to interact with the director are few and far between, what is there to be careful about? Anyway, being old-fashioned is fine, as long as they’re not biased."
"I don’t know about biased, but he seems to have a good relationship with Director Huang because I’ve heard him ntion Huang Baoquan several tis while speaking with the director, and all in praise."
"Really?" Chuxia sat up straight, "If that’s the case, our teacher might be in trouble." After a pause, she added, "But there’s nothing much to fear; the teacher has dical skills, ethics, and a background, nothing to worry about."
"Knock knock..."
"The formalities are increasing..." Luo Xiaoqiong muttered as she ran to open the door, only to find Ye iru standing there. She looked at Chuxia with a smile, "Hey, I’ve got sothing to tell you, Zhou Mikang and my Aiai are in a eting, probably won’t be back for a while, you can head out yourself."
"Got it." Chuxia replied, "Thank you for your trouble."
"I’m telling you this out of kindness, can’t you drop the sarcastic tone?" Not only did Ye iru not leave, but she also shoved Luo Xiaoqiong, squeezed in, and scrutinized Zhao Qiliang, smiling, "Who are you?"
"None of your concern," Luo Xiaoqiong shot her a look, "This is my man. Stay away, so you don’t catch a whiff of your own scent."
"Afraid?" Ye iru smirked triumphantly, then straightened her expression, "Luo Xiaoqiong, you think too much of yourself, do you really think I’d fancy this kind of guy?"
"Who said you fancied him? I just find your scent unpleasant. It’s not like I don’t know what kind of person you like."
"Who do I like?" Ye iru deliberately glanced at Chuxia, then at Luo Xiaoqiong, "Tell , let’s see if you guessed right."
Luo Xiaoqiong waved her hand, "Forget it, you’re pregnant; as a decent person, I’ll spare you so face."
"You really don’t need to spare face, honestly."
"The whole hospital already knows about your relationship with Director Huang. Why must I be the one to say it aloud?" Luo Xiaoqiong, provoked by her, went ahead and spilled the rumor she had heard.
"Say that again?" Ye iru’s face instantly darkened. "If you have the guts, repeat what you just said!"
"I told you, if I said it, you’d feel ashad. Yet you insisted I speak, sigh." Luo Xiaoqiong sighed, looking at Chuxia. "What should I do? I’ve ssed up again."
"Bastard!" Ye iru scread and lunged at Luo Xiaoqiong. Zhao Qiliang hesitated for a mont, then quickly stepped in front of Luo Xiaoqiong, getting a solid embrace from Ye iru. She was a woman and pregnant too, so he didn’t dare to push her away, just stood awkwardly, "Calm down, please calm down. You’re carrying a child; if anything happens to the baby, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life."
"I won’t regret it. The one who should regret it is definitely her," Ye iru said while pushing Zhao Qiliang. "Get out of my way. If I don’t beat her today, my last na won’t be Ye. I’d rather perish along with the child than let her slander with nonsense."
"Enough!" Lin Chuxia shouted angrily, "Ye iru, can’t you stop thinking that just because you’re pregnant, no one dares to ss with you? If you truly lose the child, do you think the Huang family will spare you?
During the New Year, your grandfather ca to our house. When he ntioned you, he was nothing but disappointed. If you keep throwing tantrums like this, you’ll regret it sooner or later.
Everyone needs a purpose in life, and when dealing with soone, you always need a reason. Do you think it makes sense to constantly target ?
If you and Zhou Mikang were together and I tore you apart, fine, then you can take revenge on because I did sothing despicable.
But in fact, you betrayed Zhou Mikang, you didn’t want him. Why do you have the nerve to bla ? Ye iru, do you really think you’re justified in treating this way?"
"If it weren’t for you, Zhou Mikang would have married , and I wouldn’t be living like this today."
"Are you still dreaming? You, going from one man to another, do you think Zhou Mikang can still accept you? How dumb would he have to be to get cuckolded, dumped, and still eagerly wait and love you?
Honestly, if he were truly like that, you’d probably let go too. Actually, you don’t love him; you’re just too possessive. You could reject him, but he definitely can’t reject you. Your constant entanglent is rely to prove this point.
"Do you think I don’t know your purpose in saying all this? Lin Chuxia, no matter what you say, it’s useless. Ye iru’s happiness this lifeti was ruined by you, and my life’s purpose is to make you return what you owe . Even if it takes a lifeti, I won’t regret it.
Moreover, what I can’t do, my son will. From the mont he’s born, I’ll tell him who’s responsible for him living a fatherless life."
"Finally witnessed the scene of barefaced lies..." Luo Xiaoqiong smacked her lips and shook her head. "Ye iru, I just want to ask, how do you convince yourself to believe this theory? How dumb and selfish can you be to justify yourself so brazenly?"
"What does it matter to you?" Ye iru glared at her and then smiled brightly at Chuxia, "I’m telling you, I’m not angry. While it’s true that I can’t be with Zhou Mikang anymore, I can create other opportunities for him. Just wait, one day, you’ll feel like I do."
"You’re a woman too?" Zhao Qiliang suddenly spoke.
"Of course," Ye iru smiled at him, "Want to co over and check to verify?"
"No need, I’m afraid it’ll dirty my hands." Zhao Qiliang pushed Luo Xiaoqiong back a step, "I’m Lin Chuxia’s cousin. Though I hold no power, protecting my cousin is sothing I must do.
So, here I must warn you, if you dare harm my cousin, I will risk my life to settle accounts with you. Now, you can leave!"
"Oh, quite the manly man." Ye iru sized him up and smiled, "Since you’re so manly, I won’t make things hard for you. I’ll find you to play another day. Goodbye." Before leaving, she winked at Luo Xiaoqiong.
"Ha..." Luo Xiaoqiong chuckled lightly, "What a sight. Truly enlightening. I wonder, was she a courtesan in her past life?"
"She’s not, but her family used to be in that line of work, you know."
"Oh, oh, oh." Luo Xiaoqiong nodded repeatedly, "I rember now, I rember. You told about it. Look at my brain, how could I forget?
But Chuxia, you should talk to Zhou Mikang seriously, tell him about Ye iru’s plans, make sure he doesn’t fall for it. Stay away from that Huang Suai. Even if she were a fairy, he shouldn’t get close."
"The commander isn’t that kind of person." Zhao Qiliang quickly defended Zhou Mikang, "Once, when we were on a mission, the granddaughter of a chief ca to perform and took a liking to the commander, but he didn’t even glance at her. Later, one night, that chief’s granddaughter went to find him on her own. Guess what he did?"
"This happened? How co he never told ?" Lin Chuxia wasn’t focused on what Zhou Mikang did but was surprised the commander never reported this to her. Realizing he spoke too much, Zhao Qiliang quickly tried to smooth it over, "The commander was probably afraid you’d worry, otherwise he would’ve told you ages ago." (To be continued.
