Fang Yan grabbed Zhang Yan’s arm tightly.

The three of them stood in the middle of the emergency hall. In the time it took for each of them to speak, people had already surrounded them.

Was she going to be sent to the police station twice in just half a day?

Seeing that Fang Yan was stopping her, Zhang Yan glared at her and shouted, “Yanyan! Why are you still speaking up for this bastard at a time like this? He’s the one who harmed your grandmother! The old lady is still lying in the emergency room with her life and death unknown! If she can’t survive…”

“What did you say?” Fang Yan suspected that she had misheard. “Uncle, what do you think happened to Grandma?”

Cheng Zheng’s gaze darkened. He exerted some strength in his arm and broke free from Zhang Yan’s grip. He ran straight to the emergency room.

Fang Yan followed closely behind.

Zhang Yan was left alone to receive the attention of the crowd.

“What are you looking at?! So what if I scolded him a little?! It’s that Cheng guy who treats human lives like grass!”

Outside the resuscitation room, Doctor Little Song waited for Cheng Zheng.

“I knew you would come over!” Xiao Song opened the door for Cheng Zheng and said as he walked, “Don’t be anxious. Director Yang is inside. It shouldn’t be a big problem, he told you not to worry. It’s a common complication after surgery. It looks dangerous, but Head Nurse Liu has been watching. We discovered it in time.”

Of course, Cheng Zheng knew. Long before the surgery, he had already thought of all the problems that might have happened, including the worst-case scenario that he had tried his best to avoid.

But he was still nervous. It had nothing to do with ability.

It was Fang Yan’s grandmother.

Fortunately, Grandma’s condition stabilized again. After two days of observation in the ICU, she was transferred back to a normal ward.

In the ward, Fang Yan insisted on making Zhang Yan apologize to Cheng Zheng.

Zhang Yan did not agree, but he could not understand why his niece, who had always been easy to talk to, was so stubborn.

“I’m an elder. Even if I’m wrong, can’t I just change my ways?” Zhang Yan first looked at Fang Yan, then looked away under her direct gaze and continued, “Besides, I think that director is not bad. Isn’t he wooing you? Then if the two of you get together, we’ll be family in the future. Why are you still talking about apologizing?”

Fang Yan suddenly jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail. “Uncle, what nonsense is this? This is ridiculous!”

Zhang Yan crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. “They told me that in order to woo you, that Cheng guy insisted on operating on your grandma. He did it but didn’t do it properly. He just wanted to keep her in the hospital so that he could spend more time with you. And you’re saying this is nonsense?”

“Of course! How ridiculous!” Fang Yan scolded. Even after hearing it again, she was still trembling with anger.

“Alright, alright, alright! Ridiculous! Sit down. I didn’t say that I don’t believe you.” Zhang Yan comforted her in a low voice. “Then it’s true that he’s wooing you, right?”

“It’s not.”

Zhang Yan was anxious. “So what they said is all lies, and you’re the only one who’s honest? I’m puzzled. Why is everyone gossiping about this Cheng guy? Just because he’s a pretty boy?”

“Uncle! I’ll really be angry if you keep talking like that!” Fang Yan threatened.

When Zhang Yan heard this, he really wanted her to look at herself in the mirror and see her face. That furious gaze that looked like she wanted to kill someone. She must have been angry for quite a while.

Fang Yan calmed herself down and continued, “Director Cheng is the best doctor in the department. He has treated countless patients and many people have lined up to ask him for surgery. It’s normal that he can’t satisfy everyone. Perhaps someone couldn’t bear to see him doing well and deliberately defamed him.”

Zhang Yan nodded patiently on the chair, looking indifferent. Fang Yan was furious. “Uncle! Stop being shameless and calling random guys family! Are you going or not?”

“What do you mean by that? Do you dare to say that you don’t like that Cheng guy at all?”

“I don’t like him!” Fang Yan said word by word.

Outside the door, Cheng Zheng’s outstretched hand stopped in front of the door. He looked at the indignant Fang Yan through the glass and silently left.

Fang Yan did not want to continue arguing. She said to Zhang Yan, “It’s useless no matter what you say. You have to apologize! Otherwise, wait for Grandma to recover and let her pull your ear and scold you!”
