119: Chapter 119 I Don’t Have a Father 119: Chapter 119 I Don’t Have a Father “Go, call over the leader of your department.
I want to see how exactly he manages people!”
Su He had just approached when she heard the man’s rebuke.
This voice sounded somewhat familiar.
“Sir, could you please lower your voice?
This is a hospital,” Nurse Director Jiang Huai advised from the side, “If you have any complaints, you can make them formally, but please don’t cause a disturbance here, okay?”
When the man heard Jiang Huai’s words, his anger erupted even more, and he glared at the nurse director: “What?
Not beaten up enough yet?”
“You’re all just a bunch of lowly nannies, what right and qualifications do you have to tell me what to do?
Huh!”
Wen Jun pointed at the line of people in front of him, his tone dismissive and full of sarcasm.
Everyone present furrowed their brows tightly, but due to hospital rules, they refrained from clashing with the patient’s family member.
Su He was right behind him and lightly tapped on his shoulder.
Wen Jun turned his head, and upon seeing it was Su He, his expression grew even uglier.
Su He smelled the alcohol on his breath and slightly frowned her brows.
Clearly, he had drunk alcohol before coming to the hospital.
Or perhaps, he had just come from some flashy and boisterous place.
The stench of alcohol was still lingering!
Drinking in broad daylight!
She detested drunks who came to cause trouble the most!
Su He looked at him with cold eyes: “Mr.
Wen, would you prefer to leave on your own, or would you like the police to take you away?”
The crowd knew Mr.
Wen’s identity.
After all, the Wen Family had transferred to their hospital so conspicuously yesterday that even the dean was startled.
“Are you threatening me?” Wen Jun looked at Su He with a dark gaze.
Su He didn’t care at all, and without any fear: “Mr.
Wen, I’m negotiating with you nicely, there’s no need to escalate to threats.”
“But if you continue to cause a problem, we have the right to call the police!”
“After all, the hospital is not your home.”
Su He’s successive remarks made Wen Jun very unhappy.
His expression darkened, and he spoke arrogantly: “Su He, what right do you have to speak to me here?”
Su He said with a calm and light tone: “Indeed, I have no right; after all, I’m not a vet!”
Wen Jun initially didn’t understand what Su He meant.
But the others couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh.
Su He had been in the department for almost half a year now, always with a cold demeanor and not one for chit-chat, but she was still nice to talk to.
Everyone knew she wasn’t the sort to put on airs.
But they hadn’t expected her to be so ruthless when confronting someone.
Realizing what she meant, Wen Jun immediately lashed out at her: “You dare call me less than human!”
Su He just shrugged: “I never said any such thing.
What I said was the truth, I really am not a vet, am I wrong?”
“Nothing wrong about that.” Lu Zhenyu had evidently walked over at some point and echoed her statement.
Si Qianqian also chimed in: “Ms.
He is indeed not a vet, yeah.”
Wen Jun clenched his fists, pointing at Su He: “I’m telling you, you better apologize to me, or else, you won’t want to wear this white coat any longer!”
Su He’s eyes slightly narrowed, a chill flashing in her gaze.
“I hate it most when people point fingers at me!”
She said those words sharply and clearly.
Before Wen Jun could react, a piercing pain spread throughout his body.
Instantly, a shrill scream cut through the air.
Everyone’s faces were a mix of shock: “…”
Su He had grasped the pointing finger and twisted it hard.
The pain…
The excruciating pain…
He felt like his finger was about to break!
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
Wen Jun wanted to pry Su He’s hand off with his other hand, but before he could touch her, Su He’s other hand grabbed his other wrist.
He couldn’t move either hand, and the pain intensified.
“Su…
He, you lowly woman…
how dare you…
lay hands on me.”
He was in so much pain, he couldn’t even speak clearly.
Because of the pain, his back was slightly arched.
Su He coldly stated: “Who did you just hit?
Go and apologize to that person!”
Wen Jun remained defiant.
Su He unnoticeably increased her grip.
He immediately yelled again: “It hurts, hurts, hurts…”
“Mr.
Wen, are you going to apologize or not?”
“I will, I will…
just let me go first.”
Everyone was stunned.
Was this the rumored way to use magic to defeat magic?
To deal with someone so arrogant, you had to be even more domineering.
In this moment, Su He rose even higher in their esteem.
“Nurse Director, come here,” Su He called Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai was still a bit dazed.
But she walked over nonetheless.
Su He stared at Wen Jun, her tone still relatively calm and polite: “Mr.
Wen, go ahead and apologize.
Once you’ve done so, I’ll let go.”
Wen Jun, with both arms trembling from pain and his forehead sweating coldly, unwillingly, gritted his teeth: “I’m sorry.”
Su He: “Apologize to whom?”
Wen Jun met Su He’s gaze and had no choice but to concede, “Head nurse, I’m sorry.”
Su He: “What else?”
Upon hearing this, Wen Jun frowned.
What else?
What else was there?
Jiang Huai originally wanted to tell Su He to let it go.
Su He tightened her grip on his hand even more strongly.
Wen Jun howled in pain again.
“Mr.
Wen, you’re well over thirty.
You should know how to apologize, I shouldn’t have to teach you, right?”
No sooner had Su He finished speaking than Wen Jun dutifully said,
“Head nurse, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hit you.
It was my fault for being handsy; it was my fault.
I won’t dare do it again, I beg you to show mercy and forgive me.”
Jiang Huai swallowed and turned to Su He, “Director Su, let’s leave it at that.”
“Fine, since Mr.
Wen still has some conscience and knows it’s never too late to mend.
I hope this kind of incident is the last time, I never want to see Mr.
Wen throwing a drunken fit in our hospital again.”
“Otherwise, next time, it won’t just be your hand that hurts.”
She was saying the most brutal things in the calmest tone.
After that, she let go of him.
Meanwhile, Si Qianqian, seizing the opportunity, handed her a wet tissue: “Ms.
He, wipe your hands, disinfect them, your hands are too valuable.”
“…”
Seeing this, Su He did not refuse but reached out to take it.
She methodically wiped her hands.
From the first day they met yesterday, she’d noticed this man harbored an inexplicable hostility towards her.
But before yesterday, they did not even know each other at all.
It was then that Director Zhong finally arrived late.
“What’s going on?
What happened?”
Upon arriving, Director Zhong immediately saw Wen Jun painfully clutching his hand.
This…
He glanced at the surrounding doctors and nurses, who all shook their heads.
Then he turned his gaze to Su He.
Su He earnestly explained, “Oh, Director Zhong, Mr.
Wen is fine.
He just accidentally twisted his hand, and the bone was dislocated.
I just fixed it for him.”
With that, she looked at Wen Jun with a smile and asked, “Isn’t that right, Mr.
Wen?”
Wen Jun almost wanted to complain, but upon meeting Su He’s profound gaze, he gulped down his saliva and chickened out.
He nodded, gritting his teeth, “Right.”
Everyone else: “…”
It turns out Director Su also has a cute side that lies through her teeth.
Director Zhong wasn’t foolish and could naturally see the unwillingness in Wen Jun’s eyes.
The nurse who had gone to call him had also explained the situation over again.
Which was entirely opposite to what Su He had said.
But, the less trouble, the better.
He decided to turn a blind eye.
After all, Su He’s identity was no less prominent than that of the Wen Family scion here.
Director Zhong adjusted his glasses and coughed mildly, “Xiao Lu, hurry up and take Mr.
Wen down to apply some medication.”
“Oh, alright, Director Zhong.”
The farce thus dispersed.
An hour later, Wen Qianyi came.
She had come to apologize for Wen Jun.
“Su He, I’m really sorry.
I just finished work and came to the hospital to visit my grand-uncle, and I heard that my cousin had been causing trouble at the hospital.”
“I’ve already reprimanded him, and I hope you won’t hold it against him.”
Wen Qianyi’s face was full of apologies.
Su He calmly said, “Don’t worry, I’m not holding a grudge, he already apologized.”
She also made sure he would remember this encounter.
That, she didn’t say out loud.
Wen Qianyi smiled and said, “As long as you don’t hold it against him.”
Immediately after, she sighed, “My cousin, he’s just a little hot-tempered and likes to have fun, constantly clueless about what he’s getting into.
It’s only because my grand-uncle is sick that he has calmed down a bit.”
“My cousin is like this today, all because of my grand-uncle’s pampering.
He grew up without parents and was raised single-handedly by my grand-uncle, naturally becoming spoiled…”
Su He did not speak, just quietly listening.
It mostly went in one ear and out the other.
She had no interest in other people’s family affairs.
However, she couldn’t help but admire how eloquent Wen Qianyi was.
She could tie in any topic and talk nonstop.
Long-winded and dull, just like a lazy wife’s foot binding cloth.
Despite being such an aloof career woman, once she spoke—
It was endless, like crab spit.
Fortunately, Lan Yan came to her rescue just as she could barely endure any more.
Seeing a stranger was present, Lan Yan changed her address, “Director, the patient in bed fifteen needs you to take a look.”
Su He responded, “Alright, I’ll be there in a moment.”
Wen Qianyi immediately stood up, smiling beamingly, “I apologize, Su He, for taking up so much of your time.
I haven’t chatted with a close girlfriend for a long time, and I got so carried away talking to you, I forgot to watch the time.
You go ahead with your work, we can chat again when we’re free.”
Su He smiled amiably and nodded slightly.
Wen Qianyi then turned and left her office.
Once she was gone, Lan Yan curiously looked at Su He and asked, “Director, since when did Miss Wen become your close girlfriend?”
Su He picked up her stethoscope and walked out, “She declared it herself, there was nothing I could do.”
Lan Yan’s mouth twitched slightly: “…”
Is this self-sealing any good?
After work, Su He went straight to the mall where she had agreed to meet Jing Xuan.
Jing Xuan said she was feeling very down recently and needed to go shopping to splurge a little.
By the time she arrived, Jing Xuan wasn’t there yet.
She found a milk tea shop on the first floor.
Ordered a Yangzhi Ganlu.
Found a seat and waited.
“Excuse me, miss,”
Su He was playing with her phone with her head down when suddenly a female voice came to her ears.
She slowly lifted her head, and there stood before her a girl with a rather sweet appearance.
She sized up the girl for a while and asked, “Can I help you?”
The girl was staring at Su He’s exquisite and sculptured face, completely dumbstruck.
She’s so pretty!
And there was a cold aura about her that sent shivers down one’s spine.
Seeing that the girl didn’t speak, Su He’s brows slightly furrowed, and she asked again, “Miss, do you need something?”
The girl came back to her senses with an “Ah,” and said apologetically, “Sorry, it’s just that you’re so beautiful, I got mesmerized.”
Su He: “…”
The girl somewhat embarrassed, continued, “Uh, miss, do you have an Android charger?
My phone is out of battery.”
Saying this, she took out her cell phone and showed it to Su He.
Su He glanced at her phone and replied with a cool tone, “Sorry, I don’t.”
The girl: “Then can I borrow your phone to call my friend?
My phone is out of battery, and I can’t borrow a power bank right now, so I can’t contact my friend either.
I want to let her know I’m waiting for her here.”
Su He looked at her, her face carrying a faint smile, “Sorry, I never lend out my phone.”
She paused, then added, “However, I can help you borrow a power bank.”
The girl hadn’t expected Su He to refuse so flatly.
Su He handed her the borrowed power bank, “Here, take it.
Just remember to return it later; otherwise, I’ll be losing $99.”
The girl took it, thanked her, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Su He sat back down and continued fiddling with her phone.
Before long, the girl left the milk tea shop.
In the parking lot outside the mall.
The girl walked up to a black sedan and knocked on the window.
The car window rolled down.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t get to her phone, and I’m returning the money to you, I don’t want it,” the girl said.
Then, she took out a thousand yuan advance payment they had given her from her bag and handed it to the person in the car.
The man’s voice was gloomy, “Alright, keep the money for yourself.
Leave, and you’d better keep quiet about this.”
As soon as the girl heard that, she bit her lip but ended up keeping the money – after all, she really needed it.
“Okay, I understand.”
Inside the CHANEL boutique.
Su He watched as Jing Xuan went on a buying spree – clothes, shoes, bags, perfume, and anything else she laid her eyes on, she bought it all.
She was happy with her purchases, but even happier was the sales assistant following her.
At the very least, her KPI for the next two years was probably covered by Jing Xuan alone.
How could she not be delighted?
Such generous and extravagant customers were rare, after all.
Forty minutes later.
At the cash register.
Miss Jing took out a card from her bag and grinned at the cashier, “Swipe it, there’s no pin.”
The cashier looked at the unlimited black card, taken aback.
“Of course, Miss Jing.”
Su He recognized at a glance that this card did not belong to Jing Xuan.
There were only eight such cards worldwide.
She had two of them herself; one given to her by Jiang Yan, and the other her own.
All of a sudden, it was as if she understood something.
Sure enough, this girl wouldn’t normally spend money like crazy, but today she shopped like a spendthrift who doesn’t regard money as anything, as if she wanted to take the whole store home.
It was because the money she spent wasn’t hers.
Spending without a moment’s hesitation or regret.
But with this card, she really could buy the entire store.
Jing Xuan raised her eyebrows at her and said, “This is Mr.
Lu’s card, since he willingly gave it to me, it would be somewhat rude not to spend a bit, out of respect for the generous President Lu.”
“I’m not that pretentious.
If there’s free money to spend, why not take advantage?”
Su He was at a loss for words: “…”
Because what she said wasn’t without reason.
After paying, Jing Xuan left an address, telling them to have the items delivered to her home.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhiyang was still in a meeting at the office.
His phone on the desk vibrated.
Originally, he didn’t want to look, but when he saw it was a message from the bank, he picked it up.
While listening to his subordinates’ reports, he opened his phone.
The assistant glanced over unconsciously.
Good grief!
Who’s this?
Someone just spent over eight million of President Lu’s money in an instant.
What he found strange was—
President Lu actually smiled.
The man who had always been stern and impartial was now tracing a smile on his thin lips when looking at the message on his phone.
Following this, the assistant saw him take a screenshot.
He exited the interface and opened WeChat.
After coming out of CHANEL, Miss Jing and Su He went to another jewelry store.
Miss Jing spent a few million more with great generosity before she calmed down.
Actually, she didn’t need to spend this money at all, but not spending it made her feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that her mood seemed to lighten considerably, Su He asked, “Do you want to buy anything else?”
Miss Jing took a deep breath and said, “No, let’s go eat something, I’m hungry.”
Su He smiled and said, “Okay, what would you like to eat?”
Miss Jing thought for a moment: “I remember there is a barbecue restaurant nearby.
Shall we go there for barbecue?”
Su He replied, “As long as you’re not afraid of gaining weight, it’s fine by me.”
After all, she was someone who wouldn’t gain weight easily.
Miss Jing looped her arm through Su He’s and said, “No problem, I can diet after eating.”
The two headed towards the elevator when they suddenly heard a child’s crying from the nearby emergency exit.
They exchanged glances, walked over, opened the door of the emergency exit, and saw a little girl in a dress, crying with tears streaming down her face, sitting in the stairwell.
“Little girl, why are you here by yourself?” Su He took the lead and walked over, asking softly.
Perhaps because she was a mother herself, her usually cold demeanor softened a bit when she encountered children.
The little girl, sobbing, looked at Su He and Miss Jing with a cautious face.
“Little friend, don’t worry, we’re not bad people.”
Miss Jing showed a tender smile to her and asked, “Where are your mom and dad?”
The young girl’s watery big eyes brimmed with tears; her long eyelashes glistened with teardrops, and her fair little cheeks like small buns were extremely adorable.
Her facial features were also pretty—it was obvious her parents were good-looking.
“I don’t have a dad, I came to find my mom, but they said mom has resigned and she doesn’t work here anymore,” said the girl with her tender, milky voice.
“Pretty sister, can you help me find my mommy?”
Su He knitted her brows slightly, “How did you come here by yourself?”
“I walked here from kindergarten by myself.”
Su He and Miss Jing glanced at the small backpack beside her, somewhat surprised.
A little child walking here all on her own from kindergarten?
Su He didn’t ask further and went straight to the point: “Do you remember your mom’s phone number?”
The little girl nodded her little head, blinked her large watery eyes, and said, “I know it.”
She then fluently recited her mother’s phone number:
“134*****568”
After noting it down, Su He gently asked, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Sang Yuxuan~”
Su He dialed the number, but no one answered on the other end.
Miss Jing was eyeing the child on the side.
She felt the girl looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t place her.
Miss Jing, with a smile, asked her, “Xuanxuan, can auntie ask you a small question?”
The little girl blinked her sparkling eyes and nodded her head heavily, “Hmm.”
“How old are you this year?”
“I’m four years old.”
“And how did you get here all by yourself?”
“I couldn’t find my mommy, and then a man said he would take me to find her, but I didn’t recognize him, so I ran away.
I was scared, so I hid here.
I just really missed my mommy, so I cried.”
Su He called three times before someone answered.
But it was accompanied by a deafening noise.
She didn’t beat around the bush and directly told her about her daughter’s situation.
Sang Luo, doing a part-time job at a bar, panicked when she heard this, but after making sure her daughter was safe, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she could not leave now; if she did, she would lose her pay for the day.
She had no choice but to entrust her daughter to Su He for the time being: “Miss Su, could you please take care of my daughter for a bit?
I’m still at work and can’t get away.
I’ll pick her up in two hours.”
Before Su He could reply, Sang Luo heard someone shouting on the other end of the phone.
Simultaneously, Sang Luo responded with a quick “I’ll be right there,” and then hung up the phone.
Su He: “….”
This was outrageous!
How could this woman be so nonchalant?
Leaving her own child with a stranger just like that?
Afterward.
The two of them had no choice but to take the child to eat.
Due to the child, they couldn’t have barbecue.
They decided to go to a Chinese restaurant instead.
As they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, they bumped into someone they didn’t want to see.
Miss Jing muttered, “It’s truly a small world when foes cross paths, can’t even have a meal in peace.”
Su He didn’t want these people to spoil her appetite, so she pretended not to see them: “Let’s go, let’s go in.”
But An Xueyin stopped her: “Wait!
Su He, are you not being a little rude?”
The people in front of them were none other than Lin Yue and her daughter, Lou Ruozhi, Tang Sirou – four people in total.
