Seeing this, Dean Fang quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Young lady, I'm really sorry. There might be some misunderstanding here. Let's sit down and talk it out calmly, and resolve the matter. How about that?"

Qiu Mang hugged Qiu Li tightly, her eyes filled with wariness and stubbornness. She slightly raised her chin and looked directly at Dean Fang.

"Fine, I'd like to see how this is resolved today. Dean, I got a morning appointment, and it's clearly not lunchtime yet, but this Dr. Fang refuses to see my sister no matter what, insisting on going to eat. My sister is so sick, and she's been waiting for so long on an empty stomach. How can she be so heartless?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiwei's face flashed with displeasure. She was about to retort when Lu Yanting stopped her with a look.

Lu Yanting took a step forward, his voice low but authoritative: "Dr. Fang, don't rush to defend yourself. Since the patient has objections, we should listen carefully."

After saying that, he looked at Qiu Mang with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "Tell me the specifics about your sister."

Qiu Mang took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said softly, "My sister had been staying in our hometown before, and she just came to Guangcheng yesterday. I heard from her family that she keeps having fevers, and the medicine doesn't help. She's getting more and more listless, and she even fainted once."

"We took him to the hospital before, and the doctor said it was a heart condition, but the medical conditions in the countryside are not good enough, so he suggested we bring him to Guangcheng to see a doctor." Qiu Mang said, her eyes slightly reddening.

Lu Yanting frowned slightly, looked at Dean Fang, and asked in a calm tone that subtly conveyed an unquestionable tone: "Dean, what do you think?"

Dean Fang looked at Xiao Qiuli, sighed deeply, and said earnestly, "A hospital is a place for saving lives and healing the wounded, so naturally everything should be done with the patient first. Here's what we'll do: I'll immediately arrange for Director Guan, the most authoritative doctor in the hospital, to treat this young patient. I just hope that the child can get rid of her illness and recover her health as soon as possible."

"Director Guan?" Qiu Mang's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

“That’s right!” Dean Fang nodded slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness. “Director Guan is indeed very busy on weekdays, but I will personally communicate with him later and ask him to make sure to squeeze out some time to take a thorough look at the child.”

Qiu Mang knew that having Director Guan come to her aid was already the greatest sincerity the dean could offer. Filled with gratitude, she quickly said, "Dean, thank you so much. We will remember this kindness."

After sincerely thanking the dean, Qiu Mang was about to turn around and leave with Qiu Li when she suddenly heard a deep male voice behind her.

"Wait a minute, what's your answer to the question Dr. Fang raised earlier?" Lu Yanting raised his chin slightly, looking at Fang Weiwei with interest, his deep eyes seeming to scrutinize her.

Fang Weiwei was clearly taken aback. She thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect Lu Yanting to bring it up again.

She murmured, her lips trembling, "I...didn't we already make our stance clear? The hospital has already arranged for Director Guan to treat the patient, isn't that...isn't that showing sincerity?"

Dean Fang glanced at Lu Yanting and saw his cold and serious expression, so he knew that this matter could not be dealt with casually.

So he looked at Fang Weiwei and said in a more serious tone, "Dr. Fang, since you violated the rules, please apologize to the patient and his family."

Fang Weiwei seemed to have suffered a great injustice. She turned her head away and, full of reluctance, called out in a sweet voice, "Dad..."

"Call me Dean!" Upon hearing this, Dean Fang's anger flared up instantly. He slammed his hand on the table, making a loud "bang."

Dean Fang looked at his daughter, whom he had spoiled and pampered excessively, and his disappointment was palpable.

Anyone with a brain would know to avoid suspicion at this critical juncture, but she did it right, calling him "Dad" in front of everyone. Isn't that just giving people ammunition to criticize her for abusing her power?

Fang Weiwei was startled by the sudden shout and trembled. She subconsciously looked at Dean Fang, her lips trembling a few times, but she still obediently called out, "Dean."

Dean Fang's face was ashen, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly. He suppressed his anger and pointed at the Qiu sisters, his voice cold and hard: "Apologize! Immediately!"

Fang Weiwei bit her lower lip, took a deep breath, as if she had made a tremendous decision.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

After finally getting close, Fang Weiwei lowered her head, nervously twisting the hem of her white coat with both hands, her voice barely audible.

The three words she uttered sounded so stiff, but everyone present knew that for someone as proud and arrogant as her, this was already a huge compromise.

Qiu Mang shielded Qiu Li behind her, as if afraid that Fang Weiwei's negative emotions would affect the child.

She looked directly into Fang Weiwei's eyes and said, "I hope you can truly care about your patients in the future and not make this mistake again."

After Qiu Mang finished speaking, he pushed open the door and left.

After Qiu Mang left, only three people remained in the office. Fang Weiwei cautiously moved closer to Lu Yanting, and was about to speak when Lu Yanting looked at Dean Fang and said, "Dean, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. We can talk about the funding later!"

Dean Fang had no choice but to stand up. "Alright, you go ahead and get busy! Come over and sit down when you have time."

Qiu Mang carried Qiu Li to a fast food restaurant near the hospital, ate something, and then went home.

That evening, Qiu Mang was in her room reading picture books with Qiu Li when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Qiu Mang was a little puzzled. She didn't have many friends in Guangcheng, and she hadn't told anyone that she lived here. So why would someone ring the doorbell?

She stood up and looked through the peephole. There was no one outside, only a pile of things stacked in front of her door.

Could it be that her neighbor across the hall had piled up their trash in front of her door? With that thought in mind, she decided to open the door and confront them.

As soon as the door opened, the pile of things in front of her visibly shook. Qiu Mang was so frightened that her face turned pale, she screamed, and took a step back uncontrollably.

"Miss Qiu, it's me!"

Qiu Mang was still in shock when she looked closely and realized that there was a person in front of her who was surrounded by bags and packages.

Yan Kai slowly peeked out from the pile of things. His arms were covered with shopping bags of all sizes, and from his arms up to his forehead, there were layers upon layers of boxes of various sizes.

"Yan Kai, what are you doing?" Qiu Mang looked at him in disbelief.

Yan Kai sighed softly and said respectfully, "Miss Qiu, Mr. Lu instructed me to bring these things to you."

Qiu Mang's gaze swept over the large and small bags in Yan Kai's hands, and she became increasingly confused: "He...knows I live here?"
