Tian Mengyao remained silent, her head bowed.
Tian Xiaoguang sighed and said, "Mengyao, how can a young couple not argue? Can't you just break up over every fight? If that were the case, your mother and I would have gotten divorced countless times."
"Go, call Xue Yang and apologize."
Seeing that Tian Mengyao still hadn't moved, Mu Ziying's expression darkened: "Mengyao, are you not listening to me?"
Tian Mengyao finally spoke, "Dad, Mom, I will not contact him. You just want to go to the party tomorrow night, right? I'll find a way for you, but I will absolutely not be with Xue Yang!"
With that, Tian Mengyao ran back to her room in tears.
"This child! She's getting more and more out of line! We introduced Xue Yang to you, is it for us? Isn't it because we want you to live a better life!"
However, the only answer Mu Ziying received was the sound of Tian Mengyao closing her door.
The next day.
Tian Mengyao arrived at the hospital, but her complexion was extremely grim.
Yesterday, she had called her college classmates and even many friends, but none of them could get her an invitation to the evening's party.
She heard that the scale of this party was unprecedented in the entire Longhua, and even their father was not qualified to attend.
This made Tian Mengyao feel despair.
But it was absolutely impossible for her to call Xue Yang.
Just at noon, as Tian Mengyao was about to have a showdown with her parents, her best friend suddenly called.
"Mengyao, I heard you were looking for an invitation to the Longhua party?"
"Yes, but I can't find one anywhere." Tian Mengyao's voice lacked any strength.
"I have one here, my friend gave me one."
"Really?!" Tian Mengyao's face instantly lit up with joy.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Qianqian, tell me, I'll agree to any condition, as long as you transfer the invitation to me."
"We've been best friends for so many years, what conditions are there? I'll give it to you directly, just remember to treat me to a meal."
"Thank you, Qianqian! You're too good to me!" Tian Mengyao was overjoyed, and the gloom from before vanished.
"Alright, I have other things to do. Come to the Sky Restaurant with your parents this afternoon, and I'll give you the invitation!"
Tian Mengyao's expression froze: "Qianqian, how did you know it was my parents who were going to the party?"
"You're a doctor, you're so busy all day, it must be your parents who need it." Clearly, Qianqian's words sounded a bit flustered.
Tian Mengyao didn't suspect anything and said happily, "Thank you, Qianqian, I'll definitely treat you to something delicious!"
After that, they hung up the phone.
For Tian Mengyao, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, her face beaming with a happy smile.
She also sent a text message to her parents, asking them to wait for her downstairs at the Sky Hotel at six in the evening, as the invitation had been secured.
At this time, in a hotel room.
"Young Master Xue, you scared me. If Mengyao knew I colluded with you to trick her, we wouldn't even be friends anymore."
A young woman lay in a man's arms, acting spoiled.
And they were Tian Mengyao's best friend Qianqian, and her ex-boyfriend Xue Yang!
"There's a hundred thousand in this card, take it, buy whatever you want." As he spoke, Xue Yang took out a card from his wallet.
Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the card, then coquettishly said, "Young Master Xue, I'm not with you for your money."
Xue Yang flipped over and pulled the woman into his embrace.
He said with a sly smile, "Not for my money, then you're coveting my good looks?"
"Oh, Young Master Xue."
Qianqian looked shy.
Then Qianqian asked confusedly, "Young Master Xue, if you wanted to give Mengyao an invitation, why didn't you just give it to her directly?"
Xue Yang smiled playfully, "Of course, it's to slap someone in the face, and also to make Tian Mengyao obediently climb into my bed."
Qianqian looked surprised, "You two haven't... yet?"
"You know Tian Mengyao, she's stubborn, and I can't force her. But this time, with her parents waiting for the invitation, let's see how she refuses me!"
As he spoke, a cold smile played on Xue Yang's lips.
Qianqian put on an exaggerated expression, "Then Young Master Xue will still have to torment her until she begs for mercy on her knees."
"Hahaha! No, it should be called begging for mercy on the bed!"
And at this moment.
An emergency patient was sent to the emergency department of Longhua First Hospital.
The patient was covered in injuries and fear, clearly having encountered something terrifying.
And this patient's identity was also very special. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he caused quite a stir. He was Zhao Lidong, whose hands and feet were broken, and who was then beaten up again after returning home!
Zhao Lidong never imagined that after being dismissed from Longhua First Hospital, he would return to the hospital in such a manner.
Because the patient had fractured ribs and pneumothorax, Chen Mo, as the director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, naturally came to the emergency room for a consultation.
Chen Mo was also shocked the moment he saw Zhao Lidong.
As far as he knew, Zhao Lidong's hands and feet were broken, and after the hospital fixed them, he was sent home. How could he be so severely injured again?
However, as a doctor, no matter how heinous Zhao Lidong was, Chen Mo would not let any personal feelings interfere.
Because this was his duty.
"Chen Mo, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I truly know I was wrong. I'll never dare to oppose you again." On the hospital bed, Zhao Lidong apologized to Chen Mo indistinctly.
This time, he was truly scared!
Chen Mo frowned slightly, "Zhao Lidong, our matters were settled at the hospital yesterday. What do you mean by saying this?"
Settled?
Zhao Lidong felt like crying. "Chen Mo, don't play games with me. I was really wrong."
Chen Mo sensed something was wrong: "You mean, my being injured like this is related to you?"
Zhao Lidong nodded aggrievedly.
Chen Mo was surprised, thinking, could his eldest sister have done it again?
He really didn't know about this.
However, seeing that Zhao Lidong had almost lost his life because of him, he said helplessly, "I really don't know about this. You might need surgery. Please sign the consent form later."
When Zhao Lidong heard about the surgery, he immediately panicked: "Chen Mo, are you the chief surgeon?"
Chen Mo nodded: "I am the director, of course I will do it."
Zhao Lidong's expression at this moment was even more distressed than crying: "Um, Chen Mo, can you change doctors?"
"You don't trust my skills?"
"He doesn't distrust your skills; he's afraid you'll tamper with things during the surgery," a doctor beside them couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Lidong, who used to flaunt his authority as director in the hospital, had long been disliked by many people.
Now, many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Chen Mo was speechless. He was a doctor, after all! This was simply an insult to his medical ethics!
