Chapter 23: She’s like a wild boar that has had its fill in a melon patch

Of the two parents, Su Qingtan disliked her father more than her mother.

Honestly, Su Chun was ten times more partial than Liu Lan, and he was very patriarchal.

He could do things, but you couldn’t say anything.

Not only could you not say anything, you couldn’t even question him.

Ever since she was a child, whenever she argued or fought with Su Wanying, she could at least get a few comforting words from Liu Lan. But with Su Chun, she only got beatings and scoldings.

Even when she married Li Su, Li Su said she was scheming, Su Chun slapped her and scolded her for being a disgrace.

He didn’t care about the marriage at all, he even told her to come home less often so she wouldn’t be a disgrace.

Seeing Su Chun’s number, Su Qingtan’s mind flashed with bits and pieces of the past, when she came back to her senses, the phone had stopped ringing.

Su Qingtan didn’t want to call back.

She had just put down her phone when Su Chun called again.

Su Qingtan had no choice but to answer, “Hello—”

“Where are you?” Su Chun’s voice sounded a little unhappy.

But Su Qingtan didn’t bother to care about his mood, she replied, “Out.”

“Come home now, bring your household registration booklet.” Su Chun finished his command and hung up the phone directly.

Su Qingtan didn’t want to pay any attention, she threw her phone on the bed, calmly practiced a set of basic Tai Chi, and then called Duan Jinhuai.

At that time, Duan Jinhuai was leading Li You and a group of people in the Jiangcheng airport waiting room for a small meeting.

Duan Jinhuai’s phone was on silent and placed beside him, almost as soon as Su Qingtan’s name appeared on the screen, Duan Jinhuai immediately answered and walked out.

The assistants and secretaries, including Li You, the special assistant, were a little confused.

Although Li You was still confused, someone had already asked, “Special Assistant Li, the CEO never answers calls during meetings, is there something more urgent than the Southern Plan?”

I want to know too. Li You thought to himself, he was about to answer when Huang Xia, the only female assistant in the assistant department, said, “I don’t think it’s anything urgent, the way he carefully answered the phone just now makes it seem like he’s in love.”

Everyone immediately started chattering.

“That can’t be right, our CEO is a workaholic.”

“Yeah, he doesn’t have enough time for love, he works 364 days out of the year.”

“He’s practically a work machine, who would fall in love with a machine?”

Seeing that they were getting more and more outlandish, Li You had to step in to maintain order, “Shut up, work.”

Everyone shut up, but their faces were still full of gossip.

Outside the waiting room, in a quiet corner, Duan Da-lao, the work machine, was whispering into the phone to Su Qingtan, “Don’t thank me, it’s a small matter.”

“No trouble, call me if you need anything.”

After hanging up the phone, he called the hospital’s medical staff and his contacts in Jincheng, he gave them instructions before returning to the waiting room.

Inside, the gossiping crowd heard his footsteps and all sat up straight, working with serious faces—

…

At the hospital, Ye Xi had told Wen Xiaoching how shameless Su Qingtan was, how she used tricks to force Li Su to marry her, and then she gradually came back to her senses, she asked Wen Xiaoching, “Sister Qingqing, how did you meet Su Qingtan?”

Wen Xiaoching saw Ye Xi’s uneasiness, but she pretended not to know, “She’s a friend of Xiao Yang’s friend.”

What?

She actually knows Brother Xiao Yang!

Ye Xi became even more uneasy, she said after a while, “So that’s how it is.”

“Yeah, that’s how it is.” Wen Xiaoching smiled, she looked up at the time in the leisure area and reminded Ye Xi, “Xiaoxi, you’re going to be late for work.”

Ye Xi didn’t have any thoughts about going to work, but because Wen Xiaoching reminded her, she could only leave the hospital first.

She said goodbye to Wen Xiaoching and went downstairs, but she didn’t go to work, she waited outside for a while, then quietly came back.

After coming back, she went to the nurses’ station.

Wen Xiaoching stayed in the hospital for a long time, Ye Xi came to the hospital often, she was also familiar with the nurses here.

She secretly found a nurse she was close to and asked, “What’s wrong with that Su Qingtan on this floor, why is she hospitalized?”

In Ye Xi’s opinion, it was just a matter of one sentence, but the nurse she was close to looked embarrassed and said, “There are rules in the VIP ward, patient privacy cannot be disclosed.”

Of course she knew the rules on this floor, but she was the younger sister of Xiao Yang’s fiancée, when had she ever been stopped by the rules on this floor?

Besides, VIPs are also divided into different levels, Su Qingtan, whether you count from the Li family or the Su family, couldn’t possibly be treated so well by the nurses on this floor.

Ye Xi was a little surprised, she was stunned for a while before saying, “Even if Mr. Xiao wants to know, it’s not allowed?”

The nurse shook her head.

Ye Xi’s surprise immediately turned into great uneasiness.

There are no wealthy families in Jincheng that can surpass the Xiao family, could it be that Su Qingtan was arranged to stay in the hospital by the Xiao family?

If that’s the case, would she talk nonsense in front of Brother Xiao Yang?

Ye Xi forcefully suppressed her uneasiness, she said to the nurse again, “Then how close are they to my cousin and Mr. Xiao, you can tell me that, right?”

As Ye Xi spoke, her right hand touched the brand-name bracelet on her left hand.

This was her usual method of bribing medical staff, meaning she was going to buy the nurse a new brand-name bracelet.

The nurse was familiar with her, she understood immediately and said, “Not close, I haven’t seen them talk.”

They’re not close!

Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief after getting this answer from the nurse, she lowered her voice and said to the nurse, “If they chat and talk, you tell me.”

The nurse nodded, Ye Xi then left the hospital.

Wen Xiaoching stayed in the hospital for a long time, she loved to eat瓜, at this moment, she was like a wild boar that had had its fill in a melon patch, as soon as Ye Xi left, she took out her phone and called Xiao Yang.

As soon as Xiao Yang answered, she told him everything Ye Xi had told her.

Xiao Yang was silent for a long time, Wen Xiaoching said, “You’re stunned, right? I was the same when I heard it, I was stunned.”

“Old Duan is amazing.” Xiao Yang exclaimed, then said, “Did he steal someone else’s girlfriend?”

“I don’t think so.” Wen Xiaoching said, “If he had succeeded, why wouldn’t he introduce her to you? It’s still like what we saw yesterday, he likes her but hasn’t gotten her.”

“His taste is extraordinary.” Xiao Yang exclaimed again, then said to Wen Xiaoching, “Okay, stop gossiping, you should go to sleep at this time.”

“Okay.”

Wen Xiaoching finished speaking and hung up the phone, she was about to go back to her room to sleep, but as soon as she got up, she saw Su Qingtan standing in front of the bookshelf.

Wen Xiaoching thought for a moment, between sleeping and eating瓜, she firmly chose the latter, then walked towards Su Qingtan.

Su Qingtan had just met Ye Xi, she hadn’t changed books, she came back to change them now.

She had just chosen a book with a good name, when she heard Wen Xiaoching’s voice beside her, “This book has a good name, but it’s not good at all—”
