Chapter 11: Rumors

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After settling her messy relationship, Fang Yan went to see her grandmother. Today, her grandmother’s breathing was much steadier, but she was unconscious.

After experiencing the twists and turns of the past two days, the doctors and nurses in the inpatient department and the intensive care unit all knew Fang Yan. It was very convenient for her to visit.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you two?” Qi You asked as they came out of the ICU.

Fang Yan: “We just broke up.”

“I’m talking about you and Cheng Zheng.” Qi You pulled Fang Yan aside to avoid the crowd. “I saw that you were sad yesterday, so I held back from asking. Did you really not know Director Cheng before?”

Fang Yan shook her head.

Qi You clearly didn’t believe her. “Then it’s completely unlike you to talk to him in that tone.”

“What kind of tone?” Fang Yan asked.

Qi You tilted her head and thought, “It’s hard to say. It’s like you’re throwing a tantrum with someone very close to you. You’re like this with me occasionally, but you won’t do it with Cheng Song. Anyway, you’re quite rational most of the time. You’re also polite to others, but there’s more familiarity when you’re polite to him. Aiya! Do you know what I mean? It’s not that it’s bad, but… you’re always afraid of causing trouble for others. Do you really believe that Cheng Zheng will say yes?”

Fang Yan held Qi You’s arm in silence.

When she heard Cheng Zheng say that he did not recommend surgery, Fang Yan’s world was about to collapse. Other than feeling sad for her grandmother, she also felt like she had been let down.

“Do you think Director Cheng is cold-blooded?” Qi You added on behalf of Fang Yan.

He had easily cut off the patient’s life. He was not the Immovable Deity, but the King of Hell.

For once, Qi You did not speak up for Fang Yan. “Explaining the truth to the patient’s family is their responsibility as doctors. As for you, I think you’re relying too much on Director Cheng because you’re their idol. Are you…”

“Okay! I admit my mistake. Don’t just randomly spread rumors here.”

Fang Yan interrupted Qi You’s nonsense and threatened her half-truthfully.

Everyone in the hospital took extremely good care of Fang Yan. Of course, she knew who she was indebted to. Even so, Cheng Zheng did not show any intention of coercing her. It was indeed beyond reproach.

Fang Yan wanted to apologize to him.

Knock knock.

The office door was closed. No one was there.

Doctor Xiao Song came out of the room opposite with a stack of documents and happened to see Fang Yan.

“Hey, Sister Fang Yan! Are you looking for Master? He just walked upstairs. I think the dean is looking for him.”

‘Oh, really? I’ll wait for him here, then.’

“Don’t!” Doctor Little Song went around to Fang Yan’s side. “Wouldn’t it be a waste of time if you missed him? Master said that you can’t waste time! I’ll bring you upstairs. Wait upstairs.”

Fang Yan felt that something was amiss. Doctor Little Song thought that she had something urgent to attend to and comforted her, “Sister Fang Yan, don’t be anxious. Master was personally promoted by Director Yang. Usually, at this time, he’s just casually chatting. He’ll be out soon.”

Fang Yan agreed.

However, she was even more nervous. Walking with Xiao Song, she felt like she was being treated as one of their own. Fang Yan controlled herself and didn’t think about it.

The head director’s office was much more spacious than Cheng Zheng’s office. Cheng Zheng sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea. He poured another cup and handed it to the director.

Director Yang subconsciously took it. When he realized something, his hand stopped and the cup fell heavily on the table, spilling tea everywhere.

“You’re shameless! You’re here to steal my tea again!”

Cheng Zheng took half a step back in advance to avoid being splashed. He patiently consoled, “Sir, your reputation is widespread. So many people want to sell tea to you. There will still be Xinyang Maojian tea.”

Director Yang glared at Cheng Zheng as he yelled. “That’s not what I want to talk to you about!”

Cheng Zheng straightened his back and replied seriously, “Other than Jiang Lan, we can talk about anything else. What do you want to talk about?”

The director sighed. “Alright, then let’s talk about the female artist you took in. The other departments are spreading rumors about you. Don’t you know?”

Cheng Zheng frowned. “Did it affect the patient?”

The director picked up the paper ball beside him and threw it out. “They’re defaming you! Do you think that you can rest easy just because you have the best skills in the hospital? You have to pay attention to your personal reputation!”

Cheng Zheng lowered his head and reflected. “Yes, I’ll deal with it when I get back.”

This time, the director didn’t have any paper balls to throw. He stood up with the help of the table and walked back and forth a few steps. He expected better from Cheng Zheng. “How are you going to deal with it? Huh? Go find the other department heads and tell them not to spread rumors?”

“It’s not a rumor. I’m chasing her.” Cheng Zheng looked up at the director and said calmly.

Pious and determined.

The director was actually a little hesitant, wondering if he should say something to give his blessings.

For a moment, the director and Fang Yan outside the door were stunned.
