Chapter 55

Bai Lingling really liked the Double Lion watch.

After her previous one broke, she had been waiting for a replacement, but it hadn’t arrived.

Finally, she got the chance, and she snatched it from Yu Li’s hands. She was so excited!

The anger from being insulted by Yu Li and Lu Guanshan a few days ago had mostly faded.

Yu Li silently rolled her eyes!

Lu Guanshan’s expression immediately darkened.

Bai Hongmian looked at Lu Guanshan and guessed that the beautiful and charming woman by his side must be Yu Li!

A girl like her, aside from being pretty, was worthless—no family background, no proper job. Lu Guanshan really was a shallow, lecherous man.

She maintained a polite and amiable smile, indulgently glanced at Bai Lingling, and said, “Little Lu is out shopping too? Your injury must be much better, right? Lingling has always liked the Double Lion watch and runs to the city whenever she gets a chance.

But you know, the Double Lion watch isn’t cheap. Little Lu, your monthly salary is limited, and you don’t have a family fortune. You can’t spend money like the children from rich families. How will you live in the future if you do that?

A woman wants something, you give it to her, but how will you both live? If one partner doesn’t understand, the other has to be sensible and manage the household. I’m only speaking to you as an elder, in the interests of your leader. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t interfere.

You two wouldn’t mind me speaking out, would you?”

Lu Guanshan furrowed his brows. He wasn’t familiar with this Bai director, only knew her in passing. How could she be giving him advice as an elder?

Yu Li couldn’t help but smile mischievously and said, “Aunt, the most important thing you need to do isn’t to lecture us about being sensible, but to teach this comrade Bai Lingling some manners!

Even a three-year-old knows it’s wrong to steal from others. Comrade Bai Lingling, who taught you to take things that don’t belong to you?”

Bai Hongmian’s face immediately changed: “Little Lu! This is your wife? She must be from the countryside! So poorly educated!”

Lu Guanshan, who had been trying to give her face, now also wore a cold expression: “What my wife says is true. I’m sure Director Fu would never teach his own children to steal from others.

Yesterday, Bai Lingling came to provoke my wife, and today she’s back to snatch the watch. It seems I wasn’t clear enough yesterday. In that case, I’ll go to the administrative department at the headquarters hospital tomorrow to resolve this issue properly.”

Bai Lingling stood behind her aunt, holding the watch, and didn’t say a word. She knew her aunt would protect her!

Sure enough, Bai Hongmian sneered: “Lingling coming to speak to her is showing respect. Is she made of gold? Is it wrong for others to say a few words to her? Lu Guanshan, don’t think you’re all that!”

She glared at Lu Guanshan, warning him with her eyes!

She was the wife of a leader—could he afford to provoke her?

Normally, no one treated her disrespectfully.

But to her surprise, Lu Guanshan wasn’t afraid: “Well, there’s a public phone outside. I’ll call Director Fu first, then I’ll call the administrative department at the headquarters hospital!”

As he said that, he really started walking out!

This was the first time Bai Hongmian had encountered such a bold person who dared to challenge the wife of a leader!

For the first time, she was at a disadvantage!

But if this issue really escalated to Director Fu, she wouldn’t be in the right.

Bai Hongmian quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Guanshan’s arm!

“You dare… you dare not listen?”

Then, steeling her heart, she ordered: “Lingling! Give the watch back to her!”

Bai Lingling, trembling in fear, bit her lip reluctantly. But seeing that her aunt had no way out, she could only reluctantly return the watch with tears in her eyes.

Lu Guanshan, however, was not satisfied: “As for yesterday’s incident, Comrade Bai Lingling needs to apologize to my wife with a bow, or this matter isn’t over!”

Bai Lingling widened her eyes. “Lu Guanshan, you’re going too far! You know how I feel about you, I…”

Lu Guanshan interrupted her: “I’ll say it one more time. If you’re wrong, you have to admit it. If you insist on making this a bigger issue and dragging it to the administrative department, I’m fine with that!”

Bai Hongmian took a deep breath, her face turning pale with anger!

But in the end, Bai Lingling had no choice but to bow and apologize.

Bai Lingling had never imagined such a humiliating day!

Was Lu Guanshan really this much of a loather of her?

Was Yu Li really that good? Was she worth Lu Guanshan offending the wife of a leader just to protect her?

He wouldn’t even consider that Bai Hongmian, as the wife of a leader, could have a huge influence on him, even if she didn’t intervene in official matters. She could still have a big impact with a few words in private!

But Bai Lingling had no choice. With Lu Guanshan being so firm, Bai Hongmian couldn’t protect her.

Finally, Bai Lingling reluctantly bowed: “I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!”

Before Yu Li could react, someone suddenly shouted from a distance.

“Ah!! Someone’s been hurt! Help! Help!”

“So much blood! What happened? Did they fall? Oh no, their thigh is bleeding badly!”

Bai Lingling and Bai Hongmian hurried to take advantage of the situation and left.

The two women rushed over to the injured person.

Yu Li also wanted to go, and Lu Guanshan said beside her, “Director Fu’s wife, who is that Bai Hongmian, is the head of the surgery department at the headquarters hospital. Let her go and take a look first.”

The two of them paid for the watch and stuffed it into a bag before walking outside.

There was a man on the side of the road groaning in pain, and Bai Hongmian, along with Bai Lingling, began administering first aid.

“We’re doctors from the headquarters hospital! We can definitely save him!”

Yu Li and Lu Guanshan also gathered around to watch.

But it was clear that even Director Bai couldn’t stop the man’s bleeding. Moving him to the hospital was difficult—every time they moved him, blood spurted out rapidly!

Bai Lingling was frozen in shock. “Aunt, his condition is really bad… how can we move him to the hospital? With blood flowing like this, he’ll die soon!”

Director Bai was also seeing such a critical case for the first time. Her hand trembled slightly.

Yu Li immediately pushed forward. “Everyone move aside! I’ll take care of it!”

When Director Bai turned and saw Yu Li, her expression instantly became filled with disgust. “What are you doing? I’m trying to save a life here! This is a matter of life and death!”

But who knew, Lu Guanshan suddenly grabbed Director Bai’s arm and pulled her away, making space for Yu Li.

Yu Li immediately knelt beside the injured person, took out silver needles, alcohol, and began stimulating the acupoints while treating the wound and bandaging it with gauze.

Director Bai shouted angrily, “Send him to the hospital! Don’t waste time! If we delay any longer, this person will definitely die!”

Bai Lingling remembered how Yu Li had saved that child last time, and now she was saving someone again. If she succeeded, wouldn’t Yu Li just be more smug?

Besides, what methods was she using? All these unorthodox ways.

The best thing to do was send him to the hospital!

She quickly tried to persuade the injured man’s family, “This person doesn’t know anything about medicine. She’s just causing chaos and wasting your family’s life! Hurry and send him to the hospital!”
