"Okay, Mom."
Dong Wenhua hung up the phone and went outside, where she saw Granny Lin sitting by the fish pond, lost in thought.
If Dong Lianxin really didn't die and even came back with her daughter, this old woman would be overjoyed, and her madness might even be cured.
Hmph, old woman.
Whether your daughter is still alive or not, I will never let her return to the Dong family. If you want to reunite with her, dream on!
After Dong Bonian returned, Dong Wenhua told him about the grievances Xu Xinning had suffered in the new hospital.
"She's an obstetrician, and she wouldn't let him deliver babies for pregnant women, but instead made him stand by and watch, learning from an unprofessional doctor. Sigh, Xiao Ning just started working and encountered something like this; she must be heartbroken."
Upon hearing this, Dong Bonian immediately said, "I will try to contact that dean and ask him to take care of Xinning in the future."
"Okay, brother, I thank you on Xiao Ning's behalf."
"Xiao Ning is my only niece. I've always treated her like my own daughter. We're all family, so why would I need to thank her?"
"Yes, yes, you're right, brother."
Dong Wenhua enjoys the feeling of being protected and cared for. Her husband is useless, but having the Dong family as a strong support is enough.
Military hospital
After making the call to Dong Wenhua, Xu Xinning returned to her office.
She was determined to find out whether the jade pendant Lin Sisi was wearing was the same one Dong Lianxin had once worn.
But when Lin Sisi came today, she didn't even register her.
She didn't know where the other person lived, or even what their name was. She could only hope that the other person would come in a few days.
In the afternoon, the dean himself came to his office with a gentle smile on his face.
"Comrade Xu, today is your second day working at our hospital. Are you adjusting well? If you're having any problems, just tell me, and I'll try my best to help you."
Xu Xinning thought to herself, "It really worked when he made that phone call. Her mother said that her uncle would call the dean. I was cold to her this morning, but now I'm all smiles at him. The change is really significant."
It's because her maternal grandfather's family is capable and has a wide network of connections. Living in such a family, she doesn't have to worry about what others think.
This made them even less inclined to let Dong Lianxin and her daughter go home.
"Dean, I'm fine. I believe I have real skills and knowledge, and I hope to be able to apply what I've learned in the future, instead of just watching other doctors do my job. I have strong professional abilities and don't need to learn from anyone else."
The dean's expression changed slightly for a moment, then he nodded, said, "Dr. Xu, you can get back to work," and left.
When Lin Qingyan got home from get off work, Lu Zhengting also came home. It was time for dinner, so Lu Zhengting pressed her down in a chair, massaged his wife's shoulders a few times, and then got up.
"Honey, you must be tired from work. I'll go cook."
After resting for a while, Lin Qingyan realized that Lu Zhengting's cooking skills were not as good as hers, so she also went into the kitchen.
The time after dinner is a bit boring. It's too early to go to sleep, but there's nothing else to do if I don't.
The couple originally planned to visit Zhang Fei's house, but before they even left, Shen Mengfei arrived with a chessboard and chess pieces.
"Commander, I'm a bachelor and have nothing to do at night. I've come to play chess with you. I hope you won't kick me out because you look down on me."
Lu Zhengting was worried that playing chess with Shen Mengfei would neglect his wife, and was about to say that he was too busy when Lin Qingyan said, "You two play chess, I'll watch from the side."
"Sister-in-law, can you do that too?" Shen Mengfei asked Lin Qingyan.
"I know a little bit, but I'd like to see you guys."
Lin Qingyan watched Lu Zhengting and Shen Mengfei play chess from the sidelines, and she didn't find it too boring.
A true gentleman observes chess in silence.
Lin Qingyan watched them play chess quietly, without disturbing any of them.
Lin Qingyan had just heard that Shen Mengfei was still single, so she casually asked him, "Brother Mengfei, how old are you? Why don't you have a girlfriend yet? Is it because you don't want to find one?"
“I’m twenty-three too, only six months younger than our battalion commander,” Shen Mengfei replied while playing chess. “My family has been trying to find me a wife, saying there are plenty of girls back in my hometown. But I’ve rarely been back these past few years, and even when I do go back, I don’t meet anyone suitable. It’s even worse here; there are very few girls, so it’s even harder to find someone suitable.”
He looked at Lin Qingyan and said, "If you know any girls who are a good match for me, please introduce them to me."
"no problem."
Lu Zhengting and Shen Mengfei played chess for more than an hour. When Shen Mengfei left, she was reluctant to take the chessboard and pieces with her.
"Commander, sister-in-law, why don't I leave the things here? That way I won't have to bring them back when I come to play chess with you again."
Lu Zhengting smiled and said, "Then stay here."
When he and his wife are bored, they can play chess.
Beijing City
Shen Mengya finally obtained a special packet of powder through special channels. This powder could help her get Lu Zhengting, and she couldn't wait to rush to the military region.
However, she had one concern: if she went alone, Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan might not let her in because of their past grudges. Therefore, she had to bring Old Madam Lu with her.
Besides, Old Madam Lu might not feel comfortable letting her go alone.
After she was ready, she went to find Grandma Lu and said, "Grandma, I want to go to the military region. Will you come with me?"
