To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
It just so happens that this employee had seen Chu Xing's appearance by chance, and because of his extraordinary appearance and vivid memory, he was able to recognize him instantly.
Curious, she tiptoed, trying to get a better look at the woman lying in the hospital room.
The window was tilted too far, so she couldn't see the person inside clearly. They looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.
The staff wanted to continue watching, but noticed Chu Xing approaching with a doctor, so they hurriedly hid in a corner, watching helplessly as the group of people entered the ward.
No employee is immune to gossip about their boss, so as soon as a doctor came out, she asked curiously, "Doctor, I'm here to visit a relative, but I don't know which ward he's in. May I ask what his last name is?"
The doctor frowned: "This is the patient's privacy."
"I know, I'm just worried I've hired the wrong person," the employee continued pleading, looking very sincere.
The doctor glanced helplessly behind him to make sure no one was following, then whispered, "His surname is Song."
The employee, taking advantage of the situation, tried to ask further questions.
Just then, Jiang Jibai walked over and shouted sternly, "Who gave you permission to leak patient privacy?"
As his subordinate, and having already made a mistake, the doctor naturally dared not refute him.
He quickly lowered his head and said cautiously, "Dr. Jiang, I know I was wrong."
After the doctor left, Jiang Jibai looked at his employees warily.
He understood that Chu Xing's affairs could not be leaked in any way. The woman in front of him didn't seem to have any ill intentions, but her gossipy manner made him feel disgusted.
"I remember Mai said she was right here, so why can't I find her ward?"
Lin Ran walked over from a short distance away, looking around.
The moment she saw Jiang Jibai, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Doctor, may I ask which ward Song Mai is in?"
Upon hearing the name, the employee's eyes widened. Although there was no concrete evidence pointing to Song Mai as the person in the ward, the coincidences seemed far too striking.
Gossip doesn't need to be verified; just a rough confirmation is enough to satisfy a gossip lover's curiosity.
The employee immediately turned and left without lingering.
Jiang Jibai turned to look at Lin Ran with a headache, assuming she was also asking because of gossip, and his tone was naturally a little displeased: "Don't you people have anything to do? You're always gossiping about others or speculating about them. It's so boring."
The sudden lesson made Lin Ran angry. She clenched her fists, ready to retort, but Jiang Jibai turned and left.
After finally finding a ward, Lin Ran opened the door and immediately launched into a tirade of complaints.
"I just ran into a doctor who was so rude. I just asked for directions, and he attacked me. The worst part was that he said I was being silly," Lin Ran complained angrily, her hand gestures becoming quite animated.
Song Mai leaned against the pillow, staring at her quietly, a smile playing on her lips.
"Alright, don't hold a grudge against him. Don't take it to heart."
"If I ever run into him again, I definitely won't let him get away with it so easily." Lin Ran became angrier the more she thought about it, until she picked up an apple from the side and started eating it, which finally calmed her anger.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to check on the patients."
The moment Jiang Jibai pushed the door open and entered, Lin Ran suddenly stood up.
She glared at the man in front of her, furious and embarrassed.
Jiang Jibai touched the tip of his nose with a slightly embarrassed look, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence."
"What's so coincidental about it? Don't you know that's a boring statement?" Lin Ran crossed her arms and turned her head to the side.
Song Mai quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "We're all friends, why be like this?"
"He and I are not friends." Lin Ran snorted coldly, not wanting to continue speaking.
Jiang Jibai looked at Song Mai for help, knowing that if she knew that Song Mai was really her friend, she would not have done such a thing.
During the next routine check, Lin Ran stared intently at him.
He awkwardly completed the examination under such gazes, then hurriedly left without looking back, as if he were seeking refuge.
Song Mai couldn't help but chuckle, turning to look at Lin Ran: "He wouldn't suddenly be so hostile towards someone; perhaps he's discovered something."
"No matter what you found, you can't talk about me like that." Lin Ran turned her head away, looking unconvinced.
The next day, when Song Mai returned to the hospital, she found that everyone around her was exceptionally welcoming.
They looked around, a slightly ingratiating smile on their faces.
Even Xie Manman stared at him thoughtfully, her face full of contemplation.
The atmosphere sent chills down her spine. She instinctively widened her eyes and cautiously moved closer to Xie Manman.
"Manager Xie, what happened?"
Xie Manman sighed helplessly and led her to the office.
The two looked at each other, but Xie Manman remained silent for a long time.
Song Mai felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively asked, "What's wrong?"
"Tell me the truth, is there something you're hiding from me?"
During this time, Xie Manman took great care of her, and the two gradually grew closer, becoming very much like friends.
Such a private topic inevitably made Song Mai curious.
She frowned and asked in a low voice, "What is it?"
"Recently, there have been rumors in the company that you and Master Yun have an unspeakable relationship. How do you plan to deal with these rumors?" Xie Manman wanted to hear her attitude.
Countless women in this world want to get closer to Master Yun, and some even dream of rising to the top in one step.
She didn't want Song Mai to become that kind of woman, and given her promising future, she naturally wanted to offer kind words of advice.
"How is this possible?" Song Mai looked bewildered.
She had never heard similar comments before, nor did she know that things would escalate to such a great extent.
"Over the years, anyone who tries to associate with Master Yun will eventually be blacklisted by the entire industry. You are a smart girl with unlimited potential. Don't let short-term gains blind you." This was the most sincere advice Xie Manman could give her.
Song Mai quickly shook her head and said anxiously, "No, I'm already married."
"No man can compare to Master Yun. That's why even if you get married, people will still believe that your relationship with Master Yun is special."
Song Mai was at a loss for words after Xie Manman's words. She looked at Manager Xie in front of her in a flustered state.
Xie Manman, who also cherishes talent, sighed helplessly: "Actually, the method is very simple. You and your husband can come to the company and show your affection, which will naturally silence all the rumors."
