“Professor Ye, is your hand okay?”
Ye Qingqing feigned concern with a glance and smiled, shaking her head, “I’m fine, just scraped a bit of skin.
I’m afraid of infection, so I wrapped it with gauze.”
A female doctor named Liu Yun gave Jian Si a meaningful glance and said in a mocking tone, “You need to be careful in the future.
Don’t let anyone intrude upon your many years of relationship with Director Lu.”
Ye Qingqing smiled slightly and said gracefully, “That won’t happen.
I have confidence in my fiancé.”
Liu Yun’s face was full of disdain, “Director Lu is a good man, but that doesn’t stop others from tempting him!
In any case, listen to me and guard him closely, or you’ll end up crying later.”
“Thank you, Sister Yun!” Ye Qingqing showed a grateful face.
Jian Si knew Liu Yun’s words were targeted at her, and her brows knitted tightly together as she approached Ye Qingqing and asked without expression, “Ye Qingqing, let’s be clear, was it you who deliberately fell on the ground to frame me yesterday, or was it me who pushed you?”
Ye Qingqing hesitated for a moment, her eyes gradually reddening.
She lowered her head, and her shoulders started to shake, “If you think it was intentional, then let’s say it was intentional!
This has nothing to do with you; it’s all my fault.”
Jian Si laughed out of anger.
“In terms of shamelessness, you, Ye Qingqing, would rank second to none.”
The blunt words made everyone’s face change in unison.
Lin Xinyu immediately protected Ye Qingqing behind her, filled with righteous indignation, “Professor Jian, even though you are a principal-grade professor, you can’t bully people like this!
My master is clearly the victim, and here you are blaming the victim and shirking responsibility.”
Liu Yun also stood up to speak for Ye Qingqing.
“Professor Jian, you went too far this time.
You’re not only stealing someone else’s fiancé but also bullying her like this.
We all can’t stand to watch it.
Don’t think just because Director Lu and Young Master Lu also fancy you that you can be so arrogant.”
Jian Si couldn’t be bothered with them and stared fixedly at Ye Qingqing, “I’ll give you one last chance, will you speak or not?
If you don’t tell the truth, don’t blame me for making you embarrassed later.”
Ye Qingqing cried even harder, “What do you want me to say?
Isn’t all the truth in the video?”
“Heh…”
Jian Si coldly sneered and nodded, “Okay, very good, Ye Qingqing.
Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.”
After speaking, she didn’t want to waste any more words and left to check on the wards, carrying the medical records.
Watching her leave, Ye Qingqing lowered her head with a triumphant smile creeping at the corners of her mouth.
Jian Si initially thought the incident had only spread among the doctors, but she didn’t expect it to have also circulated among the patients.
The patients she had newly taken on yesterday had requested a change of doctor, citing her bad character.
In the end, she was left with only Lu Yanbai as her patient.
Even the hospital director had summoned her to the office.
“Professor Jian, I know we have no right to inquire into your private life, but I hope you’ll be more careful in the future.
You represent the face of our hospital, and I don’t want your personal life to tarnish our hospital’s reputation.”
After being scolded by the hospital director, Jian Si’s complexion was ashen and looked terrible.
While playing with Lu Yanbai, although she maintained a smile with effort, Lu Youting still saw through her.
“What’s wrong?
What happened?”
Remembering that the incident stemmed from him, Jian Si felt irritated, and her tone inadvertently became harsh.
“Whatever has happened to me is none of your business.”
Having a warm face met with cold indifference and being scolded without cause, Lu Youting’s handsome face tightened, and his brooding gaze was like ice, sending shivers down one’s spine.
“Ignorant.”
His words, like the flame to a firecracker’s fuse, made Jian Si explode.
“With all this time you spend being nosy, you might as well keep an eye on your fiancée!
She never changes, always loving to play dirty tricks.”
Lu Youting immediately grasped the key point in her words.
“Does this have something to do with Qingqing?”
Overhearing their conversation, Lu Yanbai seemed to realize something and quickly asked, “Mommy, did you have a fight with auntie?
Don’t be angry; I will take revenge for you.”
Thinking of Lu Yanbai at her side and not wanting to negatively influence the child, Jian Si was too lazy to argue further and soothed Lu Yanbai’s cheek, “I didn’t fight with your auntie.
You be a good boy; Mommy doesn’t need you to take revenge.”
After all, Ye Qingqing was ruthless and cunning.
Should Xiao Bai provoke her, it would be terrible if she did something extreme.
Lu Yanbai nodded vigorously, “Okay, I’ll listen to Mommy.”
His obedient and compliant nature comforted Jian Si, and her gloomy mood lightened slightly.
Unjustly angered, Lu Youting’s face darkened, and the whole room was filled with shadows.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Ya.
“Investigate what happened between Jian Si and Ye Qingqing this morning.”
It wasn’t long before Lu Ya’s message came back, with a URL following the text.
Lu Youting clicked in and, after reading the contents of the webpage, his hawk-like eyes immediately filled with frost-like gloom.
He replied, “Seal the post, freeze all related keywords.”
Lu Ya was very efficient in his work.
In no time at all, the post had vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
When Ye Qingqing discovered the post had disappeared, she guessed it was Lu Youting’s doing and was nearly furious.
The post had already had its effect.
Whether it was deleted or not didn’t matter to her.
But if it was Lu Youting’s doing, that meant something entirely different.
When Jian Si knew about the disappearance of the post, she also guessed it was Lu Youting’s doing and gave him a cool glance, slowly uttering four words, “Mind your own business.”
“…?”
Good intentions were treated like a donkey’s liver and lungs.
There was not a single word of thanks, only to be told to mind his own business.
Lu Youting laughed out loud, wrapped in his cold aura.
Jian Si couldn’t care less about him and, after playing with Lu Yanbai for a while longer, she left work under the pretext of making dinner for him.
This time the little guy was especially sensible, not fussing or fighting.
He sent Jian Si all the way to the door, smiling and waving at her, reminding her to come back quickly.
As soon as Jian Si left, Lu Youting went to the terrace to call Ye Qingqing.
Once the call connected, he didn’t waste any time and went straight to the point, “Was it you who released the video?”
Ye Qingqing hadn’t expected Lu Youting to confront her about this matter.
She was so angry she trembled, yet she deliberately feigned a wronged and aggrieved demeanor, “Youting, we’ve been together for so many years, don’t you know what kind of person I am?
You actually don’t believe me?”
Lu Youting furrowed his brow, “So it really wasn’t you?”
Ye Qingqing sobbed, “It really wasn’t me.
If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to investigate.
Sisi is my sister.
For the past five years, I’ve always been guilty, how could I do anything to hurt her?”
Thinking he might have wrongly accused her, Lu Youting pressed his lips together in a complex mood, a tinge of faint remorse surfacing, “Alright then, I was just asking casually.
Don’t take it to heart.”
Ye Qingqing feigned concern, “Youting, it’s all my fault.
I shouldn’t have clashed with my sister, which gave others a handle on us.”
“This matter has nothing to do with you, don’t overthink it.”
“Mhm!” Ye Qingqing nodded her head, paused, and then tentatively asked, “Youting, now that Sisi is back and looking after the child, when will you have time?
Let’s go watch a movie!
A new romance film just came out, and I heard it’s doing really well at the box office.”
Lu Youting replied without thinking, “Let’s wait a bit longer, I’m not at ease about Jian Si.”
Ye Qingqing, not content, bit her lower lip and agreed to pretend to be generous.
…
Meanwhile, Jian Si, on her way to the parking lot, overheard people around her gossiping.
“Isn’t she the Professor Jian who was exposed on the internet yesterday?”
“That’s her.
I recognize the hair clip on her head.”
“Even a doctor, and yet stealing someone else’s fiance, how shameless.”
“Why hasn’t the hospital fired her?
Why keep her?”
“Director Lu wouldn’t bear to fire her!”
Ignoring their idle talk, Jian Si drove away, first to the market to buy groceries, then to pick up Jian Sichen and Jian Yue from the kindergarten.
Once home, Jian Si did not start cooking immediately, but pulled Jian Sichen aside, “Chenbao, are you really good with computers?”
Jian Sichen tilted his chin up proudly, “Of course, I am the highest-paid hacker out there–there’s nothing I can’t do.”
Jian Si rolled her eyes at him, “Okay, okay, I know you’re capable!
Could you do something for Mommy?”
It was rare for Mommy to ask for help, and the whole of Jian Sichen became excited.
“What is it, just tell me.”
Jian Si explained the whole situation to him.
After hearing it, Jian Sichen was nearly fuming with anger.
“Mommy, don’t worry, I will definitely help you!
I won’t let that bad woman, Ye Qingqing, get away with it.”
Jian Si had a plan in her mind already and so she shared her strategy with Jian Sichen.
What do you think?
