Chapter 42 Breaking off relations with Su Tang

Su Tang ran away after kissing him, without giving Lu Xiao a chance to react.

Lu Xiao wanted to chase after him, but he just stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Why did he feel like he was being controlled by Su Tang again?

After returning home, Su Tang had quickly washed up and lay down on the bed, reading a book in his hand.

Lu Xiao looked at her little movements of glancing at him from time to time, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

I thought she really didn't care about anything, but it turned out she was just pretending.

However, Lu Xiao did not expose her. It was normal for a little girl to have a temper. If he exposed her, he would be the one who would suffer.

When Lu Xiao came back after washing up, Su Tang leaned against the head of the bed and fell asleep with the book in his hand.

Lu Xiao wiped his hair, half-knelt beside the bed, and took the book from her hand.

The cover of the book was written in Chinese. Lu Xiao took a look and found that it contained foreign characters that he did not recognize.

It was probably Su Tang’s medical book. Lu Xiao stuffed the book into the drawer and locked it to prevent others from seeing it.

After adjusting Su Tang's sleeping position, Lu Xiao waited until her hair was dry before lying down.

Being close to her always reminded Lu Xiao of that light kiss.

He was disturbed and upset.

The next morning, Su Tang stepped into the military hospital, feeling a little sweet in his heart.

She thought she couldn't sleep, but who would have thought that because she was thinking about things, she slept quite soundly.

Lu Xiao's ears were obviously red, but he had to pretend nothing happened. It was really... boring.

She shook her head, getting rid of those beautiful images.

Ever since the last poisonous weed incident, the hospital had been planning to suspend her, but Vice President Jiang Kang and the president fought hard for it.

Su Tang was able to stay in the hospital thanks to her solid professional knowledge. As long as she passes the last month of internship, she can be hired as a full-time employee.

After putting on a white coat and sitting down at my new desk to organize medical records, the door of the clinic was knocked open.

The person who came in was Zheng Jinxin, wearing a brand new nurse uniform, with her hair combed meticulously, and her face was full of energy as if she had just returned from training outside.

After not seeing her for a long time, Zheng Jinxin seemed to have transformed.

"Dr. Su, good morning!"

Zheng Jinxin said in a clear voice, handing over a folder in her hand: "The director asked to leave you a copy of the training materials from another place."

"Thank you, Nurse Zheng. Did the training go well?"

Su Tang took the folder, looked up and smiled, but his eyes couldn't help but slightly condensed.

Before she could finish her words, she had already seen the person following Zheng Jinxin.

It was Zhang Cui’s wife’s husband, Wang Jianfeng.

Wang Jianfeng was also holding a small white paper bag containing medicine from the hospital.

Old Wang had a smile on his face, but his eyes were glued to Zheng Jinxin. His voice was deliberately flattering: "Nurse Zheng, look at you, you're busy right after coming back. I brought you this medicine so you don't have to go to the pharmacy again."

As he spoke, he stuffed the small paper bag into Zheng Jinxin's hand, and his fingers inadvertently rubbed the back of Zheng Jinxin's hand.

Zheng Jinxin quickly pulled his hand back, a barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he restored his professional smile.

"Brother Wang, there's really no need to trouble you. I can get it myself."

She took the medicine bag without even looking at Lao Wang, but just nodded to Su Tang.

"Doctor Su, you're busy. I'll go to the ward rounds first."

After saying that, he walked out with quick steps.

It can be seen that Lao Wang's behavior really made Zheng Jinxin very embarrassed, and she didn't even have time to say a few sarcastic words to Su Tang.

Old Wang followed Zheng Jinxin's back with his eyes until she disappeared around the corner of the corridor, and then he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

When he turned to Su Tang, his face was once again filled with that perfunctory courtesy: "Doctor Su is also busy, I'll be leaving first."

He rubbed his hands and turned to leave the clinic.

The door closed. Su Tang sat on the chair, holding the folder in his hand, his fingertips feeling a little cold.

Zheng Jinxin's discomfort and Lao Wang's flattering and clingy look made Su Tang feel very uncomfortable.

Then I thought of Mrs. Zhang Cui, who was submissive and worked so hard that she looked ten years older than her peers.

When has Lao Wang ever been so attentive to his wife, who was arranged into a marriage between them?

A nameless anger quietly rose up in Su Tang's chest.

Men are only honest when they are hanging on the wall!

When the bell rang for the end of get off work at noon, Su Tang did not go to the small canteen to get food as usual, but went straight to the large canteen in the family area where cadres and their families ate.

She was holding back a lot of energy and chose this time of day when there were many people around and everyone was talking.

The cafeteria was bustling with activity. There was a queue at the food window, and several long tables were filled with people. The sounds of dishes clattering and talking mixed together.

Su Tang was holding the enamel pot filled with food, and with a sharp glance, he saw Lao Wang sitting at a table in the corner.

He was talking to a few people at the same table with saliva flying all over his face, his face flushed.

Su Tang calmed himself down and walked towards the corner with the plate in his hand.

She stopped by Lao Wang's table, a fake smile spread across her face, and said in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the surrounding tables to hear: "Hey, Brother Wang, you're here too?"

Lao Wang was speaking excitedly when he was interrupted. He looked up with some displeasure.

Seeing that it was Su Tang, his brows immediately furrowed, and he said in a hard tone: "Doctor Su? What's the matter?"

"No big deal."

Su Tang slowly placed the plate in his hand on the table and sat down in the empty seat diagonally opposite Lao Wang, his movements showing deliberate elegance.

"Just now I ran into you at the hospital delivering medicine to Nurse Zheng, and I wanted to say thank you for your hard work."

She picked up the chopsticks and gently stirred the food on the plate without even raising her eyelids, but the sound was clearly heard.

"Nurse Zheng just came back from training, and you, Brother Wang, were so eager to send her the medicine. You're so thoughtful. If you didn't know, you'd think Nurse Zheng was a relative of yours."

"Does my sister-in-law Zhang Cui know?"

With a crisp sound, Lao Wang slammed the chopsticks in his hand onto the table.

His face instantly turned the color of liver, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Su Tang's nose, and his voice trembled with anger: "Su Tang! What are you talking about?!"

The entire cafeteria fell silent in an instant, and all eyes were focused on this corner.

Lao Wang was so angry that he was shaking all over, and the anger in his eyes was almost bursting out.

Su Tang sneered. She didn't speak loudly. Was Lao Wang shouting like that because he was afraid that others couldn't hear him?

"Stop trying to sow discord here. It's not your turn as an outsider to interfere in our family affairs!"

He turned sharply to the side, his eyes sweeping fiercely over the crowd.

Su Tang didn't say anything, but just ate his meal calmly. After a while, he saw Zhang Cui rushing over.

When Zhang Cui heard Lao Wang and Su Tang arguing in the cafeteria, her heart suddenly tightened.

Why could Su Tang quarrel with Lao Wang? Except because of her...

Zhang Cui felt warm in her heart, but when she came to her senses, she was only nervous, so when she came, she specially brought Lu Xiao with her.

"Zhang Cui!"

"Listen up! You are not allowed to associate with such a bad-intentioned, foul-mouthed person anymore! Cut it off! Do you understand? If I see you with her again, I will..."
