Su Ying originally thought that since she had made her refusal so clear, Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong would no longer bother her.
But things took an unexpected turn that spiraled out of her control.
Her reputation for being vicious spread throughout the area.
Su Ying listened to these rumors that didn't belong to her, feeling bewildered, and glared at Gu Sinian with resentment.
Where did these rumors come from?
Gu Sinian sighed, "Did someone contact you yesterday?"
Su Ying frowned, not expecting that Gu Sinian, who had been so busy lately, would still be able to pay attention to her affairs.
"How did you know? I don't remember telling you. Although my memory has gotten worse lately because of the pregnancy, I don't remember ever telling you about this."
Gu Sinian recounted in detail how he found out about this matter.
"What's the deal with Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong? I don't think you know these two. The other person's surname is Su. Are they your relatives in Shanghai?"
"No. Su Xiaofang is Chen Cuie's cousin. She came to Beijing this time to see me for medical treatment."
"The couple knelt down when they saw me, and pitifully told me about their family's misfortunes, hoping to gain my pity and sympathy so that I could treat their illnesses."
"But how could I agree to help them see a doctor under those circumstances in the meeting room yesterday? You said that the meeting room is recorded, so we should be careful what we say to avoid giving anyone a handle to use against us."
Gu Sinian nodded, confirming that there was indeed a recording in the reception room, precisely to prevent the enemy from infiltrating the base.
“You did well. If you had admitted to having medical skills on the spot, it would have been really troublesome.”
"The lesson I learned in Liushu Village made me realize that good people don't necessarily get good rewards."
"Without a medical license, everything else is meaningless. Whether I get involved with the Qin family or the Gu family, I'll drag them all down with me."
"But Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong clearly hold a grudge, and they're ruining your reputation like this at the military hospital."
Su Ying no longer reacts to these things. Let them say what they want; it won't hurt them.
"As long as I don't make a move, no one can hurt me. Will Captain Chen's plan be exposed?"
Gu Sinian thought about it carefully, "It won't give you away. Don't worry."
“At the time, we only provided a solution and did nothing else. Even if we investigated, we wouldn’t find anything. I still have that much confidence.”
Su Ying was still a little worried. "After all, I saved Chen Cuie and Sun Xuelin in Willow Village. What if something fishy comes out of these things?"
Gu Sinian looked at him with an expression that said, "Don't worry. Did you think I didn't have a backup plan back in Willow Village?"
"What's the meaning?"
"On the condition that you agree to treat those people, Captain Chen Guodong must erase all traces of your rescue efforts, leaving no trace whatsoever."
"As for the situation in Beijing, I have the authority to erase it all."
Su Ying marveled at the man's speed and gave him a big sow, saying, "Your speed is truly amazing."
"Don't worry too much. I'm a man, so I should be the one to clean up these things. You're pregnant now, so let's put saving lives aside for now."
"Without a medical license... one cannot treat the sick and save lives. Otherwise, if my father-in-law and I knew about these things, they would be the first to bring us down."
She was still very worried, after all, Su Xiaofang didn't seem like someone to be trifled with.
"But didn't Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong spread rumors at the military hospital? If someone follows the trail, they'll eventually find some clues, right?"
The man patted the woman's back to comfort her, "Don't worry. Everything will be alright. You have to trust your man. Chen Guodong has covered up the situation in Dongshi, and I've got this in Jingshi. No one can find out even a single thing."
"Is it really that amazing?"
"I'm really good at this, you'll find out later."
"But if Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong spread rumors everywhere, what if someone believes them?"
"Believe it if you want, as long as you can provide evidence."
Su Ying agreed with this idea; no matter how things are spread, in the end, evidence is what matters.
"But Chen Cuie is Su Xiaofang's cousin. What if she turns against us?"
"No, Chen Guodong has already explained things to Chen Cuie. You are their savior, and Chen Guodong will explain the implications. They won't dare to say a word."
"No matter how much Su Xiaofang spreads rumors, she won't be punished severely, but it's different for us... Once it's proven that you're practicing medicine without a license, not only will the Gu family be implicated, but the Qin family will also be implicated."
"I've already sent Sun Xuelin to pick them up; I don't believe they'll be causing trouble for long."
“Sun Xuelin was unaware of this matter. If he had known that Su Xiaofang and Qian Dayong were coming to the garrison, he definitely wouldn’t have let them come. They didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter, which is why they acted so recklessly.”
"Sun Xuelin asked me to apologize to you. Chen Cuie didn't want her cousin's family to be ruined like this. After Su Xiaofang's persistent pleading, she gave us the address and told us our basic information."
"After Sun Xuelin analyzed the pros and cons, Chen Cuie was sad for a long time. She did not know that things would become so complicated."
Su Ying gave a sneer, "Is it that you really don't know or you're pretending not to know... that you just casually gave our situation to others and let them come here and cause trouble."
"Luckily, most people were cooking at home at that time yesterday. If someone with sharp eyes had seen it, who knows what kind of rumors would have spread."
"I was really scared, afraid that my kindness would harm everyone in my family."
Gu Sinian couldn't bear to see Su Ying torturing herself like this, so he tried to comfort her.
“This is not your fault. In the future, no matter what kind of emergency you encounter, try not to treat people. Recently, things have been a bit special because my relationship with my father-in-law has been under a lot of scrutiny.”
Su Ying looked up and voiced her suspicions, "Is it because of the greenhouse vegetables?"
"Yes. We've made a lot of progress with the greenhouse vegetables recently, and the first batch of vegetables will be ready soon."
"Isn't this a good thing? What's there to be conflicted about?"
"Because it is the first batch of vegetables, many leaders have already paid attention to it, and high-ranking leaders will come to observe the situation during the harvesting period."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"That's great news. It's the only one of its kind in Beijing. I also know that the greenhouse vegetables in the East Market have already started to be harvested and are profitable. I'm so envious."
Su Ying smiled and said, "It's because even officials with higher ranks than you weren't remembered by the leaders, while my husband and father are the only ones whose names were remembered by the top leaders. This is a good thing, so what's there to worry about?"
"With fame comes trouble, which is why I told my family and the Qin family to be more discreet and not give others any leverage against them, otherwise they would be doomed."
