The coldness and resentment in Cheng Zheng’s eyes seemed to resonate with Fang Yan from more than ten years ago.

Fang Yan’s chest felt stuffy.

Zhang Rong’s injuries were no less than hers, but everyone only cried when they saw them. Some were heartbroken, and some were angry.

Only Cheng Zheng, like Fang Yan back then, wanted to calmly counterattack and resist violence.

Fang Yan did not want to see Cheng Zheng like this. She hugged him gently. At that moment, Cheng Zheng’s viciousness dissipated and softened.

“How can he tear down the easel every time he hits someone? He usually hits whatever he catches. It saves energy.”

Cheng Zheng knew that it was impossible for that memory to be as easy to talk about as Fang Yan was now. He hugged Fang Yan even tighter. “Yanyan, he’s not worthy of being a father. Let’s forget about him.”

“Okay, let’s forget about him.”

Cheng Zheng nodded.

“What about your father? What was he like?”

“Hmph, that old man,” Cheng Zheng said reluctantly. “He always hits me too.”

Hearing Cheng Zheng’s controlled tone, Fang Yan couldn’t help but laugh.

Cheng Zheng was furious and gently pinched the waist of the person in his arms. Unexpectedly, Fang Yan couldn’t stop herself from laughing.

After being angry for a while, Cheng Zheng also laughed.

In the morning, the two of them should have woken up in each other’s arms under the first ray of sunlight.

But a phone call dragged Cheng Zheng out of bed.

The caller ID was Yang Chen.

Cheng Zheng glanced at Fang Yan, who was still sound asleep, and walked away with the phone.

“Brother Zheng, why are you so slow? Come out. I’ve reserved a table at Yun Ji. I’ll treat you to breakfast.”

Cheng Zheng was speechless. “What’s wrong with you? Asking someone to eat at 5:30 in the morning. If you want to go, go yourself!”

“Hey! What do you mean? Shouldn’t you have just finished your shift at this time? Did you add an outpatient consultation in the morning?” Yang Chen said as he flipped through his things. “No, Brother Zheng, you didn’t tell me that you changed your duty roster!”

Cheng Zheng slapped his forehead. That’s right, because of Fang Yan’s appearance, he worked overtime non-stop. Liu Min couldn’t stand it anymore and urged the people in the department to readjust the schedule, but Cheng Zheng didn’t have time to say anything.

“I’m sorry. The hospital has been very busy.”

“It’s fine, Brother Zheng. I heard that the girl you asked me to investigate previously also went to Sea City? Did you find her?”

Cheng Zheng looked at the milky white color half-hidden behind the door and replied, “Yes, I found her.”

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and reminded her, “Don’t say that I’m not loyal. Although that girl came from a family of calligraphy and painting, based on her parents’ relationship, it’s not wrong to say that her background is unknown. Have you thought about how to explain it to those stick-in-the-muds in your family?”

“I’m just a surgical director. What’s there to explain to the Presidents of a few corporations? If you have the time, why don’t you care about Cheng Song? I heard that my second brother’s design recently won several awards.”

“Alright, you’re amazing, but you’re still the third son of the Cheng family! By the way, Brother Zheng, you’re still single, right?”

Cheng Zheng answered vaguely.

“That’s good. My sister graduated with a doctorate this year. If she goes to your hospital, help take care of her. You know that Yang Xi has admired you since she was young.”

This time, Cheng Zheng didn’t reply. Instead, he said meaningfully, “Yang Chen, that’s your biological sister. I can take care of her naturally, but the hospital isn’t a place that cares about relationships, and neither is the neurosurgery department. I believe that with Yang Xi’s strength, she doesn’t need me to take extra care of her if she came to be a good doctor.”

Yang Chen: “…”

Yang Chen had played with Cheng Zheng since he was young and understood his temperament. He stopped the discussion there.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen could not help but sigh. He had done his best for his sister.

He had no doubt that if he said another word, Cheng Zheng would take a taxi over and beat him up.

This was a person who his sister had kept her chastity more than ten years for, all for the sake of a chance meeting. What could he do to help her get with this man?

So what if he was single? This was hellish difficulty.

Yang Chen’s fingers moved quickly as he sent the latest information to Yang Xi. At the end, he did not forget to add that this was all he could do for her.

He had a feeling that Cheng Zheng would not be single for long.

Yang Xi seemed to have been guarding her cell phone. She replied very quickly: Thank you, Brother. I’ll report to the hospital next week.
