Shen Yuechuan didn’t miss the joy at the bottom of Xiao Yunyun’s eyes.
He looked at her lightly and gave her the same answer as Lin Zhixia had. “We met at a party held by our common friend. After drinking a few coffees, we found that we had increasingly better feelings for each other. It’s natural for us to be together. Why do you ask this?”
“…”
Xiao Yunyun was upset.
She had just driven Lin Zhixia home, so Lin Zhixia should have had no time to share the same story with Shen Yuechuan.
As a result, the process of Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia encountering and getting to know each other was true, and their romance… might also be true.
Qin Han only suspected that they were pretending to be in a relationship. She couldn’t find any evidence to prove that they were in a fake relationship. It was so annoying…
She looked at Shen Yuechuan hesitantly. “If I don’t stop you, will you really get engaged to Lin Zhixia?”
“I told you that she is the one whom I want to live with for the rest of my life.” Shen Yuechuan said coldly, “Even if you have any objections, you can’t stop me.”
“I have nothing to say.” With that, she jumped up and provoked him. “Shen Yuechuan, just wait and see. As long as I don’t break my hands and feet, as long as I can speak, I will definitely stop your engagement with Lin Zhixia!”
Shen Yuechuan leisurely said, “Come and have a try. I’ll wait for your tricks.”
“… I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”
She hated Shen Yuechuan’s fearless look very much. So she rushed back to the room in a huff, slammed the door, and threw herself on the bed.
Shen Yuechuan did not believe that she could stop him and Lin Zhixia, did he?
Very good, she decided that she was going to take action and shock Shen Yuechuan!
In the living room, Shen Yuechuan was looking at the interface on the mobile phone of his conversation with Lin Zhixia.
40 minutes prior, Lin Zhixia started to send him voice messages one by one. He listened and found that they were all snatches of the conversation between her and Xiao Yunyun in the car.
Xiao Yunyun was curious about how Lin Zhixia and he met and knew each other, through which she wanted to verify his relationship with Lin Zhixia. He gave her the same answer as Lin Zhixia had.
Thus, could it dispel her doubts?
The next day, in order to avoid Xiao Yunyun, Shen Yuechuan went to the company early. When Xiao Yunyun woke up, she did not see him, but she didn’t feel that it was strange. She casually got a bite to eat and drove to the hospital.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, she found that Dr. Xu’s office was open, and there were people coming in and out in a hurry.
Xiao Yunyun’s professional intuition told her that something bad had happened.
She ran into the office. Before she could say anything, her colleague took her bag and said, “Yunyun, go to the operating room now. Mr. Lin, who had the surgery yesterday afternoon, is suffering from a rejection, and he is in the emergency room now. Dr. Xu wanted you to enter immediately after arriving.”
Xiao Yunyun quickly put on her surgical gown. When she left the dressing room, she ran into Dr. Liang.
“I’ll go too. Dr. Xu can’t handle it alone,” said Dr. Liang, “let’s go. The patient is in critical condition.”
After a whole morning of trying to save him, Mr. Lin still fell into a coma in the end, for his physical condition was too poor.
Dr. Xu took off his surgical mask and announced helplessly, “The patient needs to be sent to the ICU, and he may be in a persistent vegetative state. Let his family members be mentally prepared.”
Not long after, there was a burst of crying outside the emergency room. Ms. Lin kept crying, “Dad, Dad…”
Dr. Xu closed his eyes and stepped out. Xiao Yunyun hurried to follow him.
“Ms. Lin, I’m sorry.” Dr. Xu apologized to the family members as a matter of routine. “We tried our best to save him, but…”
“But what?” Ms. Lin rushed at Dr. Xu and beat him. “I put so much money in the red packet, but you let my father fall into a persistent vegetative state. Dr. Xu, I will sue you. I must sue you!”
Seeing this, Xiao Yunyun stepped forward to stop her. “Ms. Lin, our medical staff really tried our best. Mr. Lin’s physical condition is too poor. Before the operation, we told you the possible consequences, and you…”
“You’re just an intern. It’s none of your business. Shut up!”
Ms. Lin gave her a push, and the latter was caught off guard, so that her lower back bumped into the armrest of the adjoining chairs and she fell down on them awkwardly.
“Yunyun!” Dr. Xu helped Xiao Yunyun up and asked with concern, “Are you OK?”
“I’m fine.” Xiao Yunyun shook her head and walked up to Ms. Lin, saying, “I understand how you feel now. Mr. Lin is just temporarily in a coma, and we will continue to try and save him. We’ll try our best to make him regain consciousness. So please calm down.”
“Of course you will try your best to rescue my dad,” Ms. Lin hysterically said, “that way, you can make more money! You did it on purpose. You’re trying your best to get more money than I gave to you in the red packet! You’re not doctors! You are vampires. I curse you to die in your boots!”
“Ms. Lin,” Xiao Yunyun said in a solemn tone, “first, apart from family members, doctors are the ones who want the patient to recover the most. We don’t want Mr. Lin to be in a coma, either. You can’t speculate about us maliciously. Second, Dr. Xu didn’t accept your red packet.”
Her good temper had failed her.
She could tolerate a rude push, but she couldn’t tolerate the doctor’s professional ethics being questioned, but even more, she couldn’t allow others to slander Dr. Xu.
“Well, you, the surgeon, and you, the intern, you are both good. I am going to report you now!”
After that, Ms. Lin turned around and left angrily.
“Yunyun,” Dr. Xu asked, “did you handle the red packet yesterday?”
“It’s done,” Xiao Yunyun nodded and said, “I have already handed it over to my colleagues in the medical department.”
“Good.” Dr. Xu’s tone was very light. “Let’s go have lunch. It’s so late now. You must be hungry.”
She did not move for a long time, and there was a look of worry in her eyes. “Dr. Xu, are you okay?”
The operation was successful, but the rescue had failed. Would it be a big blow for Dr. Xu?
Dr. Xu forced a smile and said, “I’ve seen many lives and deaths, but I still can’t face the sudden decline of a patient’s situation. By the way, if Ms. Lin really complains, the staff of the medical department will come to you. You can just tell the truth.”
“OK, I got it.”
When Xiao Yunyun came back after lunch, her colleague told her, “Yunyun, the director of the medical department asked you to go there.”
“It actually disturbed the director?” Xiao Yunyun could not help complaining silently, “Is it necessary?”
Although it was not necessary, she still had to abide by the hospital’s regulations. She went to the director’s office and told the director what had happened the day before.
After listening, the director asked to make a confirmation, “You said that you had given the folder containing the money to Lin of our department?”
“Yes,” Xiao Yunyun said very affirmatively, “I asked Zhixia to negotiate with Ms. Lin. Also, I told her that if Ms. Lin was unwilling to take back the red packet, the money could be transferred to Mr. Lin’s account for his hospitalization fee.”
The director nodded and dialed the internal line. “Lin, come to my office.”
Lin Zhixia soon came in and asked, “Director, what’s the matter?”
“Zhixia,” Xiao Yunyun couldn’t wait to ask, “haven’t you dealt with what I asked you to do yesterday?”
Lin Zhixia was stunned, and she looked at Xiao Yunyun doubtfully. “What did you ask me to do yesterday?”
Xiao Yunyun was also stunned. “I gave Ms. Lin’s red packet to you and let you deal with it, didn’t I?”
Lin Zhixia didn’t understand Xiao Yunyun’s words at all, asking blankly, “What are you talking about? You didn’t give me any red packet. Maybe you remember it another way.”
Lin Zhixia looked so gentle and harmless that Xiao Yunyun also doubted if she had really remembered it another way.
Xiao Yunyun recalled carefully yesterday afternoon: after work, she went to the office, put the folder into her bag, made an appointment with Lin Zhixia to meet at the gate of the hospital, then gave her the folder containing the money, and drove her home conveniently.
“That’s right!”
She then said with certainty, “Zhixia, I remember correctly. You can recall it carefully. I gave it to you when I got off work at six o’clock yesterday.”
Lin Zhixia shook her head with a smile. “Yunyun, I left at five o’clock yesterday.”
“Impossible,” Xiao Yunyun said hurriedly. “I clearly saw you at the gate of the hospital at six o’clock, and I still…”
“Stop.” The director interrupted her, called another girl into the office, and asked, “What did Dr. Xu say?”
The girl came in and said, “Dr. Xu said that Ms. Lin did ask Dr. Xiao to give him a folder containing the cash yesterday, but he didn’t accept it. Instead, he asked Dr. Xiao to leave it for the staff of the medical department to deal with.”
Once again, the director asked Xiao Yunyun, “Is that so?”
“Yes,” Xiao Yunyun said, “Dr. Xu asked me to hand the money to the staff of the medical department. I gave it to Zhixia when I got off work.”
“Yan,” the director asked the girl who just came in, “did Dr. Xiao come to our department at six o’clock yesterday?”
“No,” Yan said, “we were not busy yesterday, so everyone in our department got off work at five o’clock. Zhixia left with us. How… how could she have found Zhixia?”
The director looked at Lin Zhixia and asked, “Lin, did you take the folder that Dr. Xiao gave you?”
“Director, I really didn’t.” Lin Zhixia looked at Xiao Yunyun in confusion. “I don’t know why Dr. Xiao said that she had given it to me.”
“Because I really did give it to you.” Xiao Yunyun was still not quite able to react. “Zhixia, why would you deny it?”
“I deny it because you didn’t give the folder to me.” Lin Zhixia thought for a moment and then suggested, “Director, please investigate this matter. It is easy to do so.”
“I’ve already ordered an investigation into it,” the director said, “there should be results soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in with a disk and said, “I have the surveillance video.”
Several video clips showed that Xiao Yunyun took the folder from Ms. Lin and went to the office to give it to Dr. Xu, but the latter did not take it. On the contrary, Xiao Yunyun took the folder with her.
Also, the surveillance video clearly captured Xiao Yunyun putting the folder into her bag and then leaving the hospital after work.
“And then?”
Then, no more follow-up.
Judging from the surveillance video, it was indeed Xiao Yunyun who had taken away Ms. Lin’s money.
The director looked at Xiao Yunyun with no expression. “What else do you want to say?”
“What about the surveillance video at the gate of the hospital?” She said, “I met Zhixia at the gate of the hospital. Why don’t you get the surveillance video at the gate of the hospital?”
“The monitor at the gate of the hospital was broken yesterday afternoon.” The man who came in with the disk spoiled Xiao Yunyun’s hope. “It was not repaired until this morning.”
Xiao Yunyun was stunned, and she slowly understood that she had gotten into big trouble…
