Chapter 18: They’re a perfect match & I’m busy here

Su Qingtan said, looking at Duan Jinhuai who was clearly speechless.

Over there, Xiao Yang also looked at Duan Jinhuai, Duan Jinhuai glanced at him and said to Su Qingtan, “Go back to the ward first.”

Su Qingtan also understood Duan Jinhuai’s meaning, she had nothing to do with him, it was indeed a little embarrassing to be bumped into by his friend.

So she nodded to Xiao Yang and Wen Xiaoching and left.

When she was a little further away, Duan Jinhuai turned to Wen Xiaoching and said, “Miss Wen, long time no see.”

Wen Xiaoching smiled and nodded, “Long time no see.”

Over there, Xiao Yang waited for the two of them to finish speaking, then immediately said to Duan Jinhuai, “Old Duan, I think the bag Su Miss is carrying looks familiar.”

Duan Jinhuai immediately glared back, “You’re so free all day long.”

“Don’t blame me, it’s just a coincidence. What, you want me to pretend I don’t know you?” Xiao Yang finished speaking, then turned to Wen Xiaoching and complained, “See, he hasn’t gotten her yet, he’s taking it out on me.”

Wen Xiaoching smiled and patted him, she said to Duan Jinhuai, “Mr. Duan, don’t mind him, he just likes to tease people.”

In front of Wen Xiaoching, Duan Jinhuai didn’t retort to Xiao Yang, he just said to Wen Xiaoching, “Old Xiao said you’re going to go out and play, contact me in advance when you go to the south, I’ll find a Chinese doctor to take a look at you.”

“Okay.” Wen Xiaoching nodded in agreement.

Over there, Xiao Yang continued to be unrestrained, “Old Duan, Miss Su Qingtan is quite pretty, you go for it.”

Duan Jinhuai was about to scold him, Wen Xiaoching also smiled and agreed, “She’s beautiful and has a good temperament, go for it.”

Her smile then became mischievous, “Xiao Yang brought me plums this morning, he said you gave them to him, they’re really delicious. Thank you.”

They’re a perfect match.

Duan Jinhuai was speechless for a while, he said to the two of them, “Don’t bother her.”

He didn’t wait for them to reply before turning and leaving.

Xiao Yang and Wen Xiaoching couldn’t help but chuckle.

“I never thought that Mr. Duan, who is as domineering as you, would be so careful when he likes someone.” Wen Xiaoching said.

Xiao Yang was about to speak when he heard a sweet voice, “Sister Qingqing, Brother Xiao Yang.”

Wen Xiaoching still had a smile on her face, but the smile on Xiao Yang’s face immediately disappeared.

The two of them turned to look at the person who came—Ye Xi, Wen Xiaoching greeted her first, “Xiaoxi.”

Ye Xi went up to Wen Xiaoching and said, “I went to the ward, you weren’t there, I brought you a few comics and left them there.”

Wen Xiaoching’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard the word “comics”, “Are those the comics I told you about last time?”

“Yeah.” Ye Xi smiled and nodded, then said, “Are you two out for a walk?”

“No, we just ate too much and felt a little bloated, Xiao Yang brought me down for a stroll to digest.” Wen Xiaoching said.

Ye Xi said, “Then you two continue strolling, I’ll go first—”

Before Ye Xi finished speaking, Wen Xiaoching interrupted her, “Do you have anything to do later?”

Ye Xi shook her head, “Nothing important, I was planning to go home and find a movie to watch.”

Wen Xiaoching said, “Just watch it here, we can have dinner together.”

Ye Xi was happy in her heart, but she didn’t dare to show it too obviously on her face, she turned to Xiao Yang and said, “I’m bothering you too much.”

“I have something to do later.” Xiao Yang said to Ye Xi, “You keep Qingqing company.”

“Okay.” Ye Xi smiled and nodded.

Xiao Yang finished speaking, he took Wen Xiaoching’s hand and walked towards the ward.

Ye Xi followed behind them, looking at Xiao Yang and Wen Xiaoching’s tightly clasped hands, the jealousy in her eyes flashed past.

…

Su Qingtan returned to the ward and was immediately given an IV injection by the nurse, the nurse also asked her if she had eaten, she felt hungry, so she asked the nurse to bring her food.

Sitting on the bed, she had an IV drip in one hand and was eating with the other, she was just thinking about turning on the TV to watch something when her phone rang.

Su Qingtan took out her phone and saw that it was Liu Lan calling.

Su Qingtan didn’t want to delay her meal, so she pressed the speakerphone and answered, “Mom, what’s up?”

Liu Lan asked, “Oh, nothing important, I just wanted to ask where you are?”

Su Qingtan thought that her parents would never call her unless there was something important, so she didn’t answer Liu Lan directly, but asked back, “What’s wrong, do you need something?”

Liu Lan said, “Really nothing, it’s just your sister, she saw you near home at noon, she said you were wearing a hospital gown and with a man.”

“So I called to ask, what’s wrong with you?”

Su Qingtan didn’t plan to have much contact with her family, but Liu Lan asked, so she deliberately said, “Oh, my stomach hasn’t been feeling well lately, the doctor asked me to be hospitalized for an IV drip.”

Liu Lan heard this and said, “You’re already in the hospital, why are you running around?”

“I went out for a while.” Su Qingtan took a bite of steamed fish and continued to deliberately say, “I’m in the hospital, aren’t you going to come and see me?”

“Um…” Liu Lan hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m busy with something.”

She seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, so she asked again, “What about Li Su?”

“He’s busy.” Su Qingtan swallowed the fish, she paused her eating and said, “What are you busy with? You’re not coming to see your daughter in the hospital?”

“Um…” Liu Lan obviously didn’t want to say, so she said, “You can run around, it’s definitely not serious, just overcome it yourself.”

Su Qingtan said, “It’s not that serious, I’ll go back tomorrow to see what you’re busy with?”

“Oh, you’re such a child!” Liu Lan heard Su Qingtan say this, she was afraid that she would go home and make a fuss, so she told the truth, “I have to go with your sister to get a beauty treatment tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I have to accompany her on a blind date, you know she’s shy and introverted, she can’t do it without me.”

“The day after that, I have to go to your dad’s company to take care of the declaration, I really don’t have time.”

I knew it was because of Su Wanying. Su Qingtan deliberately said with displeasure, “Fine, if you’re not coming, then don’t come, just transfer some money.”

“…How much do you want?” Liu Lan’s tone was also a little unhappy.

Su Qingtan didn’t care about her, she said, “I won’t mind 100,000 or 80,000, I haven’t had a job and no income before.”

“You’re not minding 100,000 or 80,000, how can you say that so easily?” Liu Lan’s voice suddenly rose, it was a little harsh to hear.

Because it was an expected attitude, Su Qingtan didn’t feel uncomfortable, she continued, based on the idea of getting as much as she could, “Then how much are you going to transfer to me?”

“I can transfer you at most 10,000, I don’t have more.” Liu Lan’s voice was still unhappy, she finished speaking and said, “You’re already married to Li Su, if you need money, you should ask him.”

“Don’t think about asking us for money when you’re broke, your income when you were an athlete, your dad and I didn’t ask you for it.”

The more Liu Lan talked, the more Su Qingtan wanted to laugh, she retorted, “Mom, you said 100,000 or 80,000 is a lot, but when I went home to get my household registration booklet last time, I saw that the clothes and bags you bought for Su Wanying, they cost almost tens of thousands of yuan—”
