Gu Liangchen’s tone was casual, as if he was saying that the weather was good today. However, Jing Cheng was frightened and sweating, because he knew his boss well. It didn’t matter if he was angry or annoyed. The calmer he was, the more terrifying he could be.

“Mr. Gu, I also found out this…” While trembling, he handed the phone with the screenshot to Gu Liangchen. “Someone had spread rumors on the hospital’s forum to slander Doctor Lu. Look at this…”

Gu Liangchen cast his eyes down and glanced at it. “Is it resolved?”

“Not yet.”

The man tapped his long fingers on the desktop and smiled coldly. “If this small matter isn’t dealt with, won’t you feel ashamed?”

“…” He wanted to deal with it. The problem was he was awaiting his instructions. 

Jing Cheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “What President Gu taught is that everything else is easy to handle, but it’s just that the villa…”

The man continued looking at the batch of documents. “The villa originally belonged to Lu Anran.”

Then things would be easier.

“Don’t worry, President Gu. I will do it now.”

But he didn’t know that Lu Anran had solved the problem by herself.

After coming out of the dean’s office, she directly went to the emergency room. Today wasn’t that busy. Several female nurses gathered together to chat. Perhaps they were too engaged in the conversation and didn’t notice her.

Nurse A commented, “I’ve noticed something wrong a long time ago. Did you see the jade bracelet on her wrist? It’s not an ordinary item. An uncle in my family who knows about jewelry came to our hospital last time. My uncle said that bracelet’s worth is seven digits…”

Nurse B looked surprised. “No way! Doesn’t that mean she’s basically carrying a vault to and from work every day? Didn’t her family go bankrupt long ago? I think she dresses quite plainly as well.”

Nurse C interjected, “Are you dumb? Would you write on your forehead that you’re a mistress? The night before, I saw a man pick her up in the dormitory. Do you know what car the man drives? A Bentley.”

Nurse B’s brows furrowed. “Then she really has a sugar daddy?”

Nurse A snorted disdainfully, “So what? Isn’t it still in the dark? Or else, why hasn’t anyone come to defend her?”

Several people were discussing the rumors in full swing. When they raised their heads and suddenly saw Lu Anran, who had come to the front, Nurse A was taken aback for a moment and quickly changed the subject, “It has been raining lately. I’m glad it’s finally sunny today. Let’s go shopping after work.”

Lu Anran smiled faintly. “Next time, when you talk about people behind their backs, be careful, lest misfortune arises from gossiping.”

After speaking, she went straight to the doctor’s office and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist as she walked. It was a memento left by her mother. Before she died, she was told to keep it well, so she didn’t sell it even when she really needed money. She didn’t know it was that expensive.

The most ridiculous thing was that after being slandered, her mother’s gift was used to fuel the rumors. 

And all of this was because of that despicable man. Now that something happened, he was hiding like a coward.

She pushed open the office door with fury, and, as soon as she looked up, she saw a middle-aged woman surrounded by several female doctors, sitting in her chair while chatting.

She walked over immediately. “Auntie Lin, why are you here?”

Lin Rushuang was her stepmother. She had been in control of the Lu family for more than 10 years. Immediately, after her father had an accident, she mustered the excuse of being ill and lay low. Her number of visits in the past three years was scarce.

However, as soon as she encountered something unlucky here, she rushed over.

If it wasn’t for Lu Anna, she wouldn’t even bother to call her auntie.

Lin Rushuang’s face was impeccably made up, and there was no sign of sickness. She pretentiously acted motherly and pulled her hand. “Since something like this happened, how can I not come?”

Knowing that she was referring to the forum, Lu Anran frowned. She would have side-eyed her stepmother if she could. That forum was exclusive for hospital staff. How could Lin Rushuang find out?

She learned about it so fast…

There must be a reason behind this.
