“He’s not like that. That’s slander.”

Fang Yan looked straight into the woman’s eyes.

Mrs. Li was stunned. Then, she puffed out her chest and became excited again. “Why? Do you want to sue me?”

What a joke. How could she be frightened by a little girl? Mrs. Li looked Fang Yan up and down. “Aren’t you two not dating? Why are you still speaking up for him?”

Fang Yan: “That’s two different things. Also, if you mention this kind of groundless matter again, I’ll definitely sue you.”

Fang Yan picked up the takeout and was about to leave when she was stopped by a middle-aged man in a black cotton suit.

Fang Yan recognized him. His name was Li Hui. Doctor Yao had operated on him. Ever since he could get out of bed and move around, he had been loitering outside his grandmother’s ward.

“Old Madam Jiang’s granddaughter?” Li Hui pointed at Fang Yan and confirmed with his wife.

After getting an affirmative answer, Li Hui pulled Fang Yan to the corner of the wall, but Fang Yan shook him off.

“Mr. Li, speak your mind.”

Li Hui did not force her and put on a smile. “You just graduated, right? It’s no wonder. Let’s not talk about anything else. How long have you known that Cheng Zheng? Why do you trust him so much?”

Seeing that Fang Yan seemed to be listening to him, Li Hui said, “My friend is a nurse at this hospital, and he spends her days here. What doesn’t he know? Guess what he told me just now? There’s going to be an academic exchange conference overseas soon. It’s an international event. There’s only one spot. Who doesn’t want to go? Hmph, I heard that the director has a junior from the same school who’s also in this hospital. He’s a popular candidate.”

“Otherwise, why do you think he still insisted on performing such a difficult surgery for your grandmother?” Li Hui had long seen through Fang Yan’s filial piety. He continued, “Your grandmother’s surgery is very complicated. It’s the first time something like that was done in Sea City. To him, that’s not a fellow human. It’s Director Cheng’s career ladder! Look at how concerned he is about the old lady’s condition now. That’s because he can’t let her die at this time. He has to wait for the exchange to end. Do you understand?”

Fang Yan: “What do you want to do?”

Li Hui chuckled. “I’ll help you. I’ll help find someone to file a joint complaint and ruin his reputation! But when the time comes, I want half of the hospital’s compensation. You can’t let me do this for nothing, right?”

Fang Yan looked at the man in front of her coldly. “Are you crazy about money?”

Li Hui thought that he had asked for too much and immediately changed his words. “Don’t be anxious. Why don’t you take 70% and I’ll take 30%? That’s fine, right?”

Fang Yan gripped the thing in her hand tightly and said sternly, “I’ve recorded everything you said. I advise you to stop thinking nonsense now, or I’ll hand the recording to the police.”

Li Hui flew into a rage out of humiliation. “You wouldn’t dare!”

Fang Yan’s expression did not change. “Let’s see if I dare.”

Li Hui pretended to hit her, but his wife stopped him. “Let’s go, let’s go. There are still people watching. I really don’t know who she’s putting on such a noble act for.”

Fang Yan turned around and left.

While Jiang Lan was eating, Fang Yan said that she wanted to call Qi You and left the ward.

Although Fang Yan was calm in front of Jiang Lan, only she knew that when she thought of that couple, she trembled with anger.

What a vicious heart!

How many people had those two people said that to, to be able to say those words so smoothly?

Doctor Xiao Song looked up from the pile of documents. “Sister Fang Yan, you’ve walked around the nurse’s desk a few times. You’re making me dizzy. If you want to find my master, go to the office!”

Fang Yan stopped. “He’s not here. The head nurse said he went for surgery.”

“Oh, right.” Xiao Song slapped his forehead. “Master has two consecutive surgeries in the afternoon. He probably won’t be able to finish them until later. Sister Fang Yan, is there something urgent you want to talk to him about?”

Fang Yan was stunned.

Yes, she wanted to see Cheng Zheng. What should she say when she saw him? Tell him what she heard and let him argue with those people?

Cheng Zheng would never do such a thing.

With this unsolvable question, Fang Yan walked to Liu Min’s small balcony.

The lunar season was over, but Fang Yan could still feel its vigorous vitality when she gently touched its leaves.

The door behind him creaked.

Someone had followed her.

Fang Yan immediately turned around.

“Uncle? Is it grandmother…”

“Your grandmother is doing well,” Zhang Yan interrupted. “I have something to tell you. Yanyan, I saw your father when I went overseas this time. He misses you very much.”
