With Zhang Yan in the ward, it was like a second-rate talk show.

Zhang Yan was used to roaming the outside world. He was easily familiar with everyone and coaxed them with a few words. But why was it second-rate? It was because Fang Yan never understood the jokes and only felt that it was noisy.

After Zhang Yan finished entertaining the last group of listeners, he went up to Fang Yan and reported, “Yanyan, that Cheng guy has really been unlucky recently. The patient in bed 12 didn’t have a good time this morning either. I heard that he almost couldn’t be saved. He’s now clamoring for an explanation.”

Fang Yan had vaguely heard about this from the family members in the ward, but she was not worried about this at all. Liu Min and Dr. Xiao Song’s work mood had not changed, and there was no movement in the hospital, which meant that it was not a mistake. She herself was even the female lead in one of these hospital scandals not long ago.

She and Cheng Zheng were not people who lived in the mouths of others.

“A righteous person is not afraid of a crooked shadow. Whoever likes to gossip can go ahead and try. Not like I’ll lose any sleep over it.”

Fang Yan’s voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for the people around her to hear her clearly.

Jiang Lan smiled. “Yes! Our Yanyan is right. Since no one did anything wrong, let them talk!”

After the last rescue, Fang Yan took even more care of Jiang Lan, and the old lady finally regained some of her energy.

Fang Yan sat beside her grandmother and Jiang Lan asked about Fang Yan and Chengsong. Fang Yan didn’t say much and only coaxed Jiang Lang to say that she wanted to get married and ask her to help find a boyfriend.

Jiang Lan: “It’s good to get married. Two people living harmoniously, it’s great. But why are you asking me again? Didn’t you refuse to meet the young men I found for you?”

Fang Yan: “I did, but it’s… not very compatible.”

It wasn’t that Fang Yan was lying. She really went to see someone a few days ago when she was free.

What was ridiculous was that they were clearly one of the best young men in Jiang Lan’s list. When Fang Yan met them, some had diarrhea, some were sent to the hospital with allergies to spices, and some were arguing with others and cursing. There was also one who was so late that she didn’t even see him.

As Fang Yan talked about these strange things, the grandmother and granddaughter laughed together.

These days, Fang Yan often bumped into Cheng Zheng. Sometimes, it was by chance, and sometimes, Fang Yan was worried about Jiang Lan’s health and took the initiative to look for him.

Fang Yan often brought her emotions into her conversation with Cheng Zheng. She was polite and even distant and picky.

Cheng Zheng was always extremely patient and answered every request.

However, the strange feeling in Fang Yan’s heart grew stronger and stronger. Every time she spoke to Cheng Zheng, she subconsciously wanted to look at his expression, as if she was playing some kind of decryption game.

At lunchtime, Fang Yan went to get her food and was bumped into by a child who had just learned how to run.

Fang Yan was waiting for takeout with her things, but her vision was blocked. The child pounced on her legs and fell hard, crying like a pig being slaughtered.

Fang Yan, who hadn’t moved at all: “…”

The child’s mother appeared when she heard the sound. She pulled the child up and apologized to Fang Yan, “Did he bump into you? I’m really sorry. The child is too naughty and runs quickly. I really couldn’t keep an eye on him. I’m sorry.”

Fang Yan: “It’s okay.”

The child’s mother said, “I’ve seen you before. You’re the relative of the old lady in bed 8, right? I heard that Director Cheng personally operated on you guys.”

Fang Yan nodded. She thought to herself that this woman talked as if Cheng Zheng was operating on her entire family.

“My husband is in the ward next to yours. Our surname is Li!”

Fang Yan: “What a coincidence.”

Mrs. Li did not mind Fang Yan’s perfunctory words and continued, “There are many benefits to dating a doctor, right? Especially for people like us who have sick people at home, there are too many things we need help with.

“This way even the red packet money is saved.”

“It’s all nonsense. I’m not familiar with Director Cheng, and I have no intention of dating.” Fang Yan took a step to the right. “Perhaps Dr. Cheng is kind-hearted and helped Grandma because she was seriously ill.”

Mrs. Li pursed her lips in disdain and advised, “Come on, kind-hearted? Sister, you’ve been deceived! The circle of doctors is very chaotic now! Have you heard about the matter with Bed 12? The patient was almost gone. He was also treated by that Director Cheng. Bah, what director? He’s just a quack! Your uncle already said that he treats human lives like grass!”

‘It was my uncle who said it.’

Fang Yan felt her blood rush to her chest uncontrollably, and she felt a dull suffocation.

Ever since she got angry with Dr. Xiao Song, Fang Yan had not mentioned this matter to Cheng Zheng. Now, it had become like a knife that she had personally handed over.
