Chapter 47

She could not communicate with Gu Nantian. She only wished Gu Nantian could listen to another person.

In the afternoon, Xu Zhiyin squatted in the bathroom, playing with her mobile phone.

It was beyond comprehension that these two days she was back in the hospital, Gu Nantian had neither appear nor asked someone to pick her to the Gu’s mansion.

He didn’t even call her.

She had previously thought it was difficult to leave Gu Nantian but it looked like it was pretty easy!

However, she felt guilty for sneaking away.

There were two girls chatting outside. Women liked going to the washroom together because the washroom was a good place for gossiping.

“Did you know Xu Zhiyin came back to work?”

At the sudden mention of her name, Xu Zhiyin stopped tapping on her mobile phone.

It was rare to listen to gossips and they were gossiping about her?

Another girl asked, “I thought she had not come to work for quite some time?”

“Who knows. However, if my husband had been snatched, I wouldn’t have the mood to work too.”

“What is a divorce to her? She has found herself another rich man!”

“Do you believe that?” The other girl said in disdain, “The post on Weibo has been deleted. I heard the woman on that post was not Xu Zhiyin. She has divorced, which man is so blind to like her? Unless he’s an old man in his sixties or seventies!”

“I think you’re right…”

The washroom door was pushed open by Xu Zhiyin as she walked out. She knew the two nurses who were gossiping about her but they were not very close.

They were very polite when talking to her previously, but…

Both their looks froze as they had not expected Xu Zhiyin to walk out suddenly. Then, they smiled and tried to mediate, “Dr. Xu, you came back?”

Xu Zhiyin placed her hands under the tap and the water flowed out automatically. She smirked and with a calm voice said, “If I don’t come back, how would I know what you gossip about me behind my back?”

“No, we’re just kidding!” The two nurses smiled, “Seeing your radiant look, you must be having a good life now. You’ve always been my idol. You first married Mr. Ji, the lawyer and now you have a new target.”

“Oh, he’s just an old man in his sixties or seventies.” Xu Zhiyin wiped her hands on the towel after washing her hands. She darted the girls a look and added, “I look ordinary. I was able to marry Ji Liunian mainly because I’m good in bed.”

How could the nurses not understand Xu Zhiyin was being sarcastic?

They paled and were silent.

Xu Zhiyin didn’t want to fuss with them further.

She thought her mentality might not be good after her divorce so when others said something not very nice, she would be very unhappy.

She left the bathroom and the minute she walked out, she heard the nurses’ sarcastic voice from behind, “She thinks she’s so amazing and still Ji Liunian’s wife! We have worked here longer than she has! If not for her backstage supporter, do you think she would have lasted till today?”

“Let it be, why do you fuss with a divorcee?”

Xu Zhiyin stood at the door and took a deep breath.

The two nurses knew she hadn’t gone far and said this on purpose, didn’t they?

Xu Zhiyin bought herself a cup of coffee and spaced out near the railing in the fourth floor.

She had heard a lot of similar words these two days.

Besides these two nurses, some doctors who were closer to her would shoot her peculiar looks behind her back.

If she had married an ordinary man, no one would be bothered to laugh at her after divorce like how they laughed at her now. However, the man she married was Ji Liunian, a dazzling man!

She only divorced and the level of attention was not less than the celebrities.

After work, Xu Zhiyin went out for dinner. The one who accompanied her was Fang Qian. To prevent bothering her family members, Xu Zhiyin stayed at Fang Qian’s house. Of course, she was currently looking for a house.

Fang Qian said, “I saw a house in the afternoon. Let’s go and have a look after dinner.”

“Thank you, Qian.” At such time, there was still someone willing to help her with these things. Xu Zhiyin was very grateful.

Fang Qian smiled, “You’re most welcome! My service of helping you search for a house is not free of charge. You have to give me a treat after you’ve found one.”

“Of course.” Xu Zhiyin smiled, “No matter what, thank you.”

Fang Qian stared at Xu Zhiyin and found that she was smiling in a forced manner, “Why? Not happy in the hospital? Some people are gossiping about you behind your back, aren’t they?”

“Yes!” Xu Zhiyin did not deny in front of her best friend, “Do you think I should return to the hospital?”

She thought casting off Gu Nantian and returning to the hospital was something happy.

However, she did not expect her life after her divorce to be different from the past.

Fang Qian advised, “You’ll be alright! Don’t bother about what others say about you! It’s not illegal to divorce and you’re not obstructing anyone.

“That’s right! A divorce isn’t illegal but why do I feel guilty beyond forgiveness?” Xu Zhiyin sighed at the thought of this.

The sky turned dark after their dinner. Fang Qian brought Xu Zhiyin to see the house. It was a two-room house and was suitable for a person to live in. The location was not far from the hospital and the environment was good too. Fang Qian selected it for its strategic location.

“You managed to find such a good place.” Xu Zhiyin was surprised.

“This is my friend’s house. Just make do with it! It’s nothing compared to the Ji’s family mansion but to ordinary people like me, this is quite good.”

“Please don’t mention the Ji family anymore!” Xu Zhiyin thought she had no more ties with the Ji family. “No matter what, thank you.”

“I’ll get someone to clean it tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

The house only needed a cleanup and some furniture and it would be ready for her to move in.

Xu Zhiyin was grateful to Fang Qian.

After that, both of them walked down from the second floor.

Tonight, Xu Zhiyin had to put up a night at Fang Qian’s house.

When they walked to the car park, Xu Zhiyin’s phone rang.

Xu Zhiyin hesitated when she saw ‘Mother’ on her phone display.

She could imagine what her mother would say.

“Aren’t you going to answer?” Fang Qian looked at Xu Zhiyin.

Xu ZHiyin took a deep breath and took up the courage to answer the call.

She and Ji Liunian had divorced and she should pacify her mother. She couldn’t just dodge and hide.

“Mother.”

Madam Xu’s serious voice was heard on the other end of the phone, “A person with the surname Gu is here to look for you.”

“Gu?” Xu Zhiyin frowned and had a premonition.

“What happened?” Fang Qian saw Xu Zhiyin ended the call and asked, puzzled.

“I need to go home. I’ve something to attend to.”

“Let me send you!” Both their houses were not far away and Fang Qian drove. It was very convenient.

Xu Zhiyin got home swiftly and saw a car at her house’s entrance. On the car was the Gu’s family logo.
