His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Aunt Gao and the onlookers' hearts hard.

"The three thousand yuan was not paid by me. It was a bonus given to Dr. Shen by the Army General Hospital. If anyone wants it, they can develop drugs themselves if they have the ability."

He originally wanted to give the money to Shen Liwu, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen after a while.

Dean Liu handed the envelope to Shen Liwu, which still had the official seal of the Army General Hospital on it, and it had never been opened.

Shen Liwu took the envelope and gently stroked the official seal on it with his fingertips, feeling the weight and recognition.

Her eyes swept over Aunt Gao with a hint of coldness in them. "Aunt Gao, do you have anything else to say now?"

Aunt Gao's face turned pale, she glared at Shen Liwu fiercely, turned around, squeezed through the crowd, and left in disgrace.

The crowd began to disperse, whispering and accompanied by a few awkward coughs.

Zhou Yanjing's hands were still tightly around Shen Liwu's shoulders. Shen Liwu felt Zhou Yanjing's palms tighten slightly, and his warm body temperature was transmitted to her skin through the thin clothes.

She raised her head and met his deep eyes, which were filled with concern and protectiveness. She patted the back of his hand gently, indicating that she was fine, then turned to Dean Liu and smiled slightly, "Thank you for defending me."

Dean Liu waved his hand, his expression still serious, "This is what you deserve. It's just that some people always like to make trouble out of nothing, you don't have to take it to heart."

After he finished speaking, he looked around and raised his voice, "I hope everyone can respect the efforts of every medical worker and stop spreading false statements."

The people around nodded in agreement, and a few of those who had joined in the commotion lowered their heads with embarrassed looks.

Several young nurses came over and whispered to Shen Liwu: "Doctor Shen, do you know that Aunt Gao?"

Shen Liwu nodded: "I know him, from the same family compound."

"Oh, she is so difficult to deal with. Her grandson has had surgery for many days and he is still not discharged from the hospital. We asked her not to give her grandson meat and sugar, but every time we told her not to, she would secretly give it to him. The wound kept getting inflamed. But the old woman is unreasonable and said we were all quacks. Her scolding was really unpleasant."

Shen Liwu frowned, turned to look at the young nurses, and said with a bit of helplessness in her tone, “She is a little stubborn, but she is also worried about her grandson, so don’t take it too seriously.”

The young nurse curled her lips and whispered, "Doctor Shen, you are too worried. She is not worried about her grandson at all. She is clearly not listening to the doctor's advice and causing the child to suffer."

Shen Liwu shook his head and sighed softly, "Forget it, we can understand the feelings of the patients and their families."

Shen Liwu chatted with the nurse for a few words and then went into the clinic with Zhou Yanjing. Zhou Yanjing's task now was to protect her, so naturally he had to stay by her side all the time.

"Did she hit you just now?" Zhou Yanjing stared at Shen Liwu and asked.

Shen Liwu shook her head, "No, she cursed badly, so I slapped her. Why is this old man so difficult to deal with? Is it that the old man has become bad or that the bad guy has become old?"

Zhou Yanjing smiled, "There is no perfect person in this world. There are always some people who are unique. You don't have to be like her."

"I know."

Shen Liwu sat on a chair, and Zhou Yanjing beside her explained anxiously: "Our mother is reasonable, she doesn't scold people, and she is the same to her daughter-in-law."

Shen Liwu pursed her lips and smiled faintly, “Are you afraid that I won’t go back to my hometown with you?”

She looked at Zhou Yanjing with interest. Was she so afraid that she would run away?
