Chapter Sixty-Four: Rumors Are a Fearsome Thing

At this moment, in the clinic.

Sang Ruo was busy seeing patients and was extremely overwhelmed.

Her phone, which was in the drawer, kept vibrating, but she didn't have time to answer it.

Chen Wuye suddenly developed a high fever and called Sang Ruo early in the morning, saying he needed to take half a day off.

The clinic has just opened, and there will be a relatively large number of patients in the next few days, so she came to the clinic early to keep busy.

Around noon, Chen Wuye dragged his tired body into the clinic.

Sang Ruo looked up at him, slightly surprised: "Wu Ye, it's not even afternoon yet! Why did you come early?"

“I was really worried about you taking care of patients alone, so I came early.”

"Can your body handle it?"

Sang Ruo's gaze fell upon his haggard face, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.

"No problem, I've already taken the medicine, and I feel much better now."

Chen Wuye changed into a white coat and quickly got into work mode.

It was during lunch that Sang Ruo saw the phone call Bo Jinyan had made to her that morning.

She was about to call Bo Jinyan back when her secondary SIM card suddenly rang from an unfamiliar number.

Sang Ruo answered the phone.

It turned out that an old customer wanted her to repair his jade. Sang Ruo contacted him briefly and then forgot all about the phone call Bo Jinyan had made to her.

In the afternoon, the customer delivered the jade item to Chen Anni. After receiving the item, Chen Anni sent photos to Sang Ruo.

Because Sang Ruo couldn't reveal her identity, many of her jade clients were dealt with through Chen Anni.

The two had reached this tacit understanding many years ago, so many clients have never seen Sang Ruo's true face.

When Sang Ruo finished work, it was already 8 p.m.

Just as I locked the clinic door, I saw a familiar figure standing in front of the Maybach.

When her gaze fell on the man's face, she suddenly paused for a moment.

All I could think about was the image of the two of us kissing last night.

She remained standing still. Bo Jinyan strode forward and stopped in front of her: "I called you this morning, why didn't you answer?"

Sang Ruo's thoughts were interrupted by his voice.

Then she remembered that there was this other thing...

"I was too busy today, and something came up later, so I forgot to call you back."

Sang Ruo spoke calmly, but felt inexplicably nervous.

"What happened last night..."

Before the man could finish speaking, she interrupted him: "Mr. Bo, I already said last night that we should pretend this never happened."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man looked at her with a complex expression.

Those beautiful phoenix eyes appeared even more obscure and unfathomable in the dim light.

"Haven't you always wanted a divorce?"

"I do want a divorce, but I don't want to resort to these methods, especially with you..."

She didn't continue speaking, and then lowered her eyes.

The warm glow of the streetlights outside the clinic illuminated her face, casting soft shadows on her long eyelashes under her lower eyelids.

The man suddenly took a few steps closer, reducing the distance between them.

“He can go see that woman in the middle of the night, why can’t you?” Bo Jinyan gently lifted her chin and said seriously, “Maybe this method will indeed cause the old man’s blood pressure to spike, but it’s the fastest way to help you get a divorce.”

“Even if we have to get a divorce this way, it absolutely cannot be you.” Sang Ruo raised her shimmering eyes and looked at the man in front of her, saying each word clearly, “I don’t want Mr. Bo’s reputation to be ruined because of me.”

Bo Jinyan gazed at her quietly, his eyes fixed on her lips.

He smiled and looked into her eyes again: "What if I said I don't mind?"

Sang Ruo's heart suddenly began to pound wildly.

A sense of unease suddenly welled up in my heart.

She pondered for a moment, and finally said without hesitation, "Since Mr. Bo has someone he likes, he shouldn't get involved in this mess anymore, lest he get splattered with mud. I can handle my own affairs myself."

She instinctively stepped back, and without waiting for his response, quickly turned and left.

In fact, she had thought that if Bo Jinyan were her way out, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

That's why I didn't keep my distance from him back then, but he clearly said that day that he already had someone he liked.

What if the matter is actually discovered?

How will they deal with themselves in the future?

Before the divorce, she dared not expose their intimate moments to the public.

Rumors are a fearsome thing.

She always knew.

Before she went to prison, she was almost drowned in spittle, and she never wants that to happen again.

When Sang Ruo arrived home, she saw the figure standing at the door from afar.

Chen Anni was holding a jade artifact and was about to open the door and go inside.

Why are you only getting back now?

Sang Ruo curiously stepped forward and took the jade from her hand.

This jade item belongs to the customer from today.

"When I came home from get off work today, I left this in the office. After Linlin fell asleep, I went to get it."

Sang Ruo was somewhat surprised: "Did she go to bed so early today?"

"Yes! I heard they had PE class this afternoon, running and playing shuttlecock. They came back and told me they were very happy..."

After Chen Anni opened the door and went inside, she changed her shoes and looked at her with a warm smile.

Sang Ruo's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly: "That's a good thing! As long as she stays in a good mood and interacts more with her classmates at school, her autism will gradually improve."

"Yeah! I've been talking much more fluently lately."

Sang Ruo placed the jade item on the table, and her cell phone suddenly rang in her bag.

After taking out her phone, she glanced down at it and noticed a very familiar number on the screen.

When she saw the number, her hand holding the phone paused slightly.

This is the supplementary card number.

It was Bo Jinyan's.

It seems that Bo Jinyan hasn't given up looking for her during this time!

Suddenly, Zhang Ye's words came to mind: it was said that Bo Jinyan had a very important jade artifact that had been broken.

Was that jade artifact really that important to him?

Was it a gift from someone he liked?

"What's wrong?" Chen Anni asked curiously when she saw her reaction. "Did something happen?"

Sang Ruo's thoughts were interrupted by Chen Anni. She raised her eyes and looked at the other person: "No, it's just that Bo Jinyan got my supplementary card number from somewhere. Apparently, he has a jade artifact that he wants to repair."

"Why don't you just fix it for him?"

As soon as Chen Anni finished speaking, the phone stopped ringing abruptly.

Sang Ruo raised her eyes, then shook her head, her tone indifferent: "I don't want him to know so much about my identity yet..."

"Holding on multiple jobs is definitely not easy," Chen Anni said with a faint smile. "So when are you planning to take on other people's orders? You're not planning to stop taking them, are you?"
