Chapter 115 - An Expression Of So Much Wrath

When it was almost 10 o’clock, she picked up her phone again and found Song Chuyi’s number. She called and hung up repeatedly but at last, she let the phone ring.

After ringing for more than 40 seconds, the screen indicated that the call went through.

“What’s up?” His cold voice came from the other side.

Changqing’s hands were sweating from nervousness. She bit her lower lip. “When are you… coming back?”

“I’m at the Song’s today; I won’t be back to sleep,” He said lightly, “If you’re scared, go back to the Yan’s to sleep.”

Inexplicably, the uneasiness in Changqing’s heart suddenly spread.

“Also, I’ll be on the night shift tomorrow night, so I won’t be back to sleep either…” After he finished, he paused for two seconds and hung up.

Upon hearing the beeping sound, Changqing was in a daze. No matter how slow she was, she could also detect something was wrong.

Was he angry at her?

Or was it after this incident of Guan Ying saving her that he saw Guan Ying’s good side again?

Honestly, if she was in his shoes yesterday, she would be very angry too.

At that moment, she realized it was easy if a man wanted to be nice to you, but it was equally easy if he wanted to treat you coldly.

In the room that was so frighteningly quiet, Changqing decided to drive back to the Yan’s.

She was afraid to be alone.

The next day, “Challenge to the End” had a new program recording. At night, Changqing had supper with the guests until very late and she still returned to the Yan’s to sleep.

The second day, she went to the vineyard to re-shoot the parts with the female lead.

The female lead, Zhao Zhu, wasn’t easy to get along with. Luckily, there weren’t many parts that Changqing had to re-shoot. After two days of rocky shooting, she went back to Northern City and rushed to the hospital to visit Guan Ying that very day.

However, when she reached the door of Guan Ying’s ward, she heard crying and noise coming from inside. There were a few nosy nurses standing at the door of the ward to watch the show.

Changqing rushed over in a little jog.

In the ward, a middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth lifted Lu Ping by her thin arm as though he was picking a little chick up, warning, “My patience is limited; you better f*cking tell me where you put your bank card.”

Lu Ping cried and howled hysterically, “Why should I give it to you? So that you can gamble and buy lottery tickets? Guan Hongxin, can you be more humane? Can’t you see that our daughter and I are both still hospitalized? You ask for money the moment you open your mouth. Let me tell you–if you want money, I have none. If you want my life, I have one.”

“You still want me to take care of you? Did you think this would all end if you two, mother and daughter bitches, escaped to Northern City behind my back? She really thinks she’s a celebrity after appearing in some television shows. She’s just my money-making tool. Without me, she wouldn’t even have been born. If you don’t give me money, believe it or not, I’ll go out there and tell the reporters and media that she’s ungrateful, not even willing to acknowledge her birth father,” Guan Hongxin pushed Lu Ping to the ground forcefully.

“Mom…” Guan Ying twitched anxiously on the bed.

Changqing quickly rushed over and helped Lu Ping up, glaring angrily at Guan Hongxin. “How could there be a father like you on this earth? Let me warn you–don’t try to be too forceful here. The media outside aren’t blind either. There are other people in the ward too, so they can just make some recordings and we’ll all know what kind of person you are.”

“Aye, who are you?” A young lad in his twenties came up and pushed Changqing, pointing at her head and said, “When is it your turn as an outsider to get involved in our family matters?”

“Guan Xi, just try touching her,” Guan Ying howled anxiously, “Her Dad is a big boss in Northern City. If you harm her, I think you won’t even be able to walk out of Northern City.”

Guan Xi had always been the kind to bully the weak and fear the strong. Upon hearing Guan Ying’s words, he hesitated in his motions.

“Who’s creating trouble here?” At that moment, Song Chuyi walked in with two security officers through the door.

He had an apathetic look. Changqing hadn’t seen him in days and was in a daze.

Guan Hongxin took a step forward and mocked, “Yo, don’t tell me you’re my daughter’s ex-doctor boyfriend? Aye, you must be quite rich to be able to work in a place like this, right?”

“Guan Hongxin, enough. I already broke up with him.” Guan Ying looked at him with a pleading face.

Song Chuyi’s face seemed as though it was frozen. He turned and glanced meaningfully at the security officer behind him.

The ward door behind him was immediately shut.

He took off his white coat and suddenly punched Guan Hongxin in the face.

Who knew how forceful that blow was? Guan Hongxin, who had a considerable build, staggered from that punch and almost fell.

“You’re a doctor yet you dare to hit someone? Do you believe I’ll sue you until you can’t even work at this hospital?” Guan Xi rushed up and wanted to help but he wasn’t even close when he was grabbed by the two security officers.

Song Chuyi walked towards Guan Hongxin with his long legs and while walking, he rolled up his sleeves and laughed coldly. “Just one punch and you can’t stand properly. Weren’t you quite overbearing just now?”

Guan Hongxin clenched his teeth and pounced at him. Song Chuyi kicked his abdomen and went up, dragging him up by his collar to the toilet.

Despite that 1.8 meter build, it looked just as though Song Chuyi was picking up a chick in his hands.

Changqing was absolutely flabbergasted. The Song Chuyi she usually saw was gentle and refined. She didn’t think he would be so ruthless when he fought.

She followed over with small steps and was stupefied from the sight.

In the basin of the toilet, Song Chuyi pressed Guan Hongxin’s head down forcefully and water was running from the tap onto Guan Hongxin’s head. In no time, the basin’s water had covered his ears. Guan Hongxin was squirming with pain in the water.

Lu Ping was also frightened and her legs went limp, quickly going up to persuade him, “Dr. Song, that’s enough. If this goes on, you’ll take his life.”

“Auntie, if you don’t give people like him some lessons, he’ll never know how it feels to be scared.” Song Chuyi pulled Guan Hongxin’s head up and pressed it back into the water. He bent down and his cold lips didn’t have the slightest warmth. “What are you? Coming over to the hospital to play the tyrant… In Northern City, if I want to kill someone, it’s as easy as killing an ant. However, a scumbag like you is worse than an ant. You don’t even care about your wife or child and only know how to gamble. Even a beast is better than you.”

After saying that, he pulled Guan Hongxin’s head out and let him go. Guan Hongxin’s eyes flipped over and he slid to the floor, spitting water out of his mouth non-stop.

Song Chuyi kicked him with his shoes and asked, “You dare to create trouble in Northern City?”

Guan Hongxin shook his head while gasping for air.

“You better stay as far as possible away from these two; scram back to your house. If I see you still in Northern City tomorrow, I’ll kill you without you figuring out how.” Song Chuyi placed his hands in his pockets, giving an order as though he was a mighty god while looking down on Guan Hongxin. “If you like to gamble, earn your own money. Even if she’s your birth child, she has no obligation to be your slave.”

Guan Hongxin nodded vigorously.

Song Chuyi turned away and said softly, “Get lost.”

Guan Hongxin clambered and crawled, pulling his son as they escaped out of the ward.

It was just a matter of a few minutes and Lu Ping, Guan Ying and Changqing were all in so much shock as though they didn’t recognize him.

After a short while, Guan Ying returned to her senses, crying gratefully, “Chuyi, thank you so much. Without you, my Mom and I wouldn’t have known what to do.”

“They were rough with my patients. All I did was take responsibility for my patients.” Song Chuyi put his white coat back on and turned to walk towards Changqing.

Changqing was so nervous that her heart nearly stopped until he stopped in front of her, bending down to check the injury on Lu Ping’s head. He said, “Auntie, are you feeling discomfort anywhere?”

Lu Ping looked at her arm. It was grazed when she was pushed earlier.

Song Chuyi beckoned a nurse at the door. “You send her back and treat the wound.”

“Dr. Song, you really are our benefactor.” Lu Ping staggered away after thanking him profusely.

Guan Ying watched Lu Ping’s back and felt a sourness in her heart. “I’m too useless; I can’t even protect my Mom even after they came all the way here to bully her.”

“Xiaoying, don’t be too upset. I’ll hire a few bodyguards for you, protecting you 24/7.” Changqing was so upset that her blood was boiling. “If I didn’t see it for myself, I never would’ve believed there could be such a scumbag father and brother on this earth.”

“There are so many of these kinds of people at the hospital…” Song Chuyi wasn’t done talking when his phone rang. He took a look and walked out quickly. “I have some business in my department, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Once he left, Guan Ying pulled Changqing and mumbled, “Changqing, since he was willing to help me like this, do you think he still has feelings for me?”

“…. I don’t know,” Changqing muttered with her head hung low.

She really didn’t know.

Previously, Song Chuyi said he would never accept a woman who had betrayed him ever again, but now he even hit someone for Guan Ying’s sake.

Fighting in the hospital was something that was absolutely risky for a doctor.

She hadn’t even seen him looking so wrathful before.

Maybe… Guan Ying’s position in his heart was indeed a little different.

In the ward, after an intense round of resuscitation, Song Chuyi lowered his head silently and watched the lifeless patient on the bed for quite a while. He took off his gloves slowly and turned back to tell Zhu Chao, “Notify the patient’s family. The patient passed away at 18:20 after a failure to resuscitate.”

He turned to leave after finishing. Every step was heavy.

At the window in the hallway where one could oversee the garden, he stood there for a while more, returning to his office after getting some air.

At the door, Changqing was leaning there in a Dolce and Gabbana embroidered dress, her head hanging low.

“What are you doing here?” He walked over, and the words came out from his throat without any warmth.

Changqing lifted her head. When she saw Song Chuyi’s gaze clearly, she shuddered.

Although he had always been cold and rarely laughed, he had never been like this. He looked so apathetic that he seemed emotionless.

“I…”

“Don’t stand at the door, come in.” Song Chuyi opened the door to his office and walked in first.

Changqing followed behind blindly and saw him sit down on his chair, pull open the drawer and take out a cigarette and a lighter, lighting it up. His movements were so graceful as though it was from an English film.

“You… Aren’t you a non-smoker?” Changqing blinked. Today’s Song Chuyi fought and smoked; she almost couldn’t recognize him anymore.

Song Chuyi inhaled deeply and smoke came out through his white teeth and tall nose.

He didn’t smoke usually, but every time a patient passed away in his hands, he would always smoke one cigarette to soothe the unbearable, suppressed emotions.

“What is it that you want?” His low tone carried a little impatience.

Changqing’s eyes felt sour and she felt regretful. Maybe she shouldn’t have come.
