Chapter 14 Xu Qin feels threatened
Xu Qin was looking through the medical records when her cell phone suddenly vibrated.
The message sent by Zhan Xiaorao also included a video.
[Qinqin, look, is this your brother? ]
She frowned and clicked on the video. In the picture, Meng Yanchen was standing next to Fan Shengmei, and the word "I do" came clearly from the speaker.
He stood in front of Qu Lianjie and protected Fan Shengmei behind him.
She was very familiar with this action. From childhood to adulthood, whenever she was bullied, Meng Yanchen always stood in front of her like this.
But now, his protection has been given to others.
"Qinqin, did you see it?"
Zhan Xiaorao's voice popped up immediately afterward, "That Birkin bag Fan Shengmei has been talking about! It's going viral, saying it was a gift from your brother. What's going on between them? Is that woman going to be your sister-in-law?"
The light from the phone screen reflected on Xu Qin's pale face.
She was very familiar with Meng Yanchen's actions and expressions in the video.
The air conditioner in the duty room suddenly became very cold.
Xu Qin recalled her birthday last year when she casually mentioned that she wanted a limited edition of a certain brand, and Meng Yanchen had someone send her three colors the next day.
At that time, Fu Wenying said that she was spoiled too much, Meng Yanchen just smiled and served her soup.
"Qinqin deserves the best."
Deserves the best...
So what about this bag given to Fan Shengmei?
Xu Qin stared at the matte-shiny bag in Fan Shengmei's arm in the video, and her stomach suddenly felt sour.
From childhood to adulthood, she was the only girl in Meng Yanchen's world. When did his eyes start to linger on others?
At this moment, Song Yan's phone call suddenly came in. Looking at the words "Song Yan" flashing on the screen and thinking of his charming and sharp jawline, Xu Qin slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
Yes, she married for love.
She and Song Yan truly love each other, which is incomparable to those vulgar things.
"Hello~"
She barely suppressed her irritation, and her voice instantly softened.
"Qinqin,"
Song Yan's charming low voice came through the microphone, "I have to be on duty tonight, so you should leave work early and go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some eggs. They're having a sale today, just for one day."
Xu Qin's face instantly turned cold. It was the same stingy and trivial daily life again.
"I'm on duty today too."
"On duty again?"
Song Yan's tone darkened. "You were on duty just two days ago. You're a doctor, not a nurse. Are you the only one in your hospital?"
"Song Yan!"
Xu Qin raised her voice instantly. "Could you please not be so overbearing? You're allowed to be on duty, but I'm not. Both of our jobs involve this kind of uncertainty. Why can't you understand me?"
"What will happen if you have children? Will you still live in the hospital every day? Do you want to keep this family?"
The phone suddenly fell silent.
"Okay, you're busy, I'll switch shifts!"
After Song Yan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Xu Qin slammed her phone into the drawer.
Song Yan has been getting more and more exaggerated recently, and she is really fed up with his stingy look.
Ever since what happened to Zhai Miao, they don’t even dare to enter a restaurant that charges 100 yuan per person.
Last week, when they were dating, Song Yan took her to a roadside stall where the average price per person was 68 yuan, and he even bargained for a small difference with the owner when paying the bill.
Now, even eggs have to be bought on discount days?
At this moment, the bag worth three million in the video seemed even more eye-catching.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Meng Yanchen.
[Brother, I want to go home to see my parents tonight. Can you pick me up?]
The person who used to reply immediately took ten minutes to reply this time.
【Aren’t you coming back on the weekend? 】
Xu Qin felt a tightness in his chest.
She bit her lower lip and quickly replied, "I miss my parents. What daughter would choose a specific day to go home and see her parents?"
The other party quickly replied, "I have a meeting this afternoon, please reply first."
Xu Qin was so angry that she threw her phone on the table.
In the past, whenever she said she wanted to go home, Meng Yanchen would immediately reply "I'll be there soon" even if he was in a meeting.
Once she was delayed in the operating room until the early morning, and when she left the hospital she saw him standing under the street light with a bowl of warm sugar-roasted chestnuts in his hand.
When did Meng Yanchen lose control?
Tonight, she wants to go back and see what is going on!
Xu Qin stood at the entrance of the Meng family villa, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.
Fu Wenying just said lightly, "I'm back," and continued to play with her.
Meng Huaijin asked a few more questions, "Qinqin, has your work been going well recently? Come home more often in the future."
They were all perfunctory words, and the family had no more interactions.
All this is because of Fu Wenying. She has always been too strong and loves to interfere with herself too much, which has led to her personality today and caused both her and Meng Yanchen to feel that this family is depressing and suffocating, and they want to escape.
Xu Qin looked at the clock again and again, hoping that Meng Yanchen would come back.
Finally, the sound of an engine was heard outside the door. She trotted over to meet it, but froze in place when she saw Meng Yanchen's empty hands.
In the past, her brother would always pull out spicy strips, sugar-roasted chestnuts, or the snacks she had been talking about recently from his briefcase like magic.
Afraid of being discovered by Fu Wenying, she always met them at the door, and then the two of them sneaked to the bedroom on the second floor and went downstairs after eating.
But now, his hands are empty.
"elder brother......"
She called out softly, glancing behind him.
Meng Yanchen was changing his shoes when he heard this and looked up, "What's wrong?"
"I thought..."
Xu Qin bit her lower lip, her voice filled with deliberate grievance.
"You'll bring me spicy noodles."
She pointed upstairs, "I'm all ready to eat secretly from Mom."
Meng Yanchen paused to untie his tie, and reached out to rub her hair. This action warmed Xu Qin's heart, but she heard him say,
"You're already an attending physician, why are you still eating those?"
His tone was still as gentle as if he was coaxing a child, but it had lost some of its warmth.
"Mom asked the kitchen to make some soup. Drink some more later."
The figure on the stairs was still as tall and straight as a pine tree, but Xu Qin suddenly felt that the back was so close, yet so strange.
At the dining table, Xu Qin stirred the bowl again and again with her chopsticks.
"Brother, is the company busy recently?"
"fine,"
Xu Qin's third attempt to start a conversation failed, and the only response she received was the soft sound of spoons colliding.
Meng Huaijin suddenly turned to Meng Yanchen,
"I heard the venture capital department hired a few new vice presidents?"
"Um,"
Meng Yanchen picked up a piece of fish and said, "New energy projects require..."
“Don’t talk while eating and don’t talk while sleeping.”
Fu Wenying interrupted and added a piece of braised pork to her son's bowl.
She glanced at Xu Qin, "It's rare for Qinqin to come back."
Meng Yanchen has always disliked his parents interfering too much in his work, and in recent years, he has indeed proved his ability.
Ever since Xu Qin's incident, Fu Wenying has also changed. She doesn't want to control the child too much. Since Guo Kun has been handed over to her son, she should not interfere too much.
But this action pierced Xu Qin's heart like a needle - she became an "outsider" who needed to be avoided?!
Meng Yanchen's phone suddenly lit up. He glanced at the screen and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Xu Qin stared at that smile intently.
——Is that Fan Shengmei?
"Mom and Dad,"
She suddenly put down her chopsticks and said, "I want to stay at home tonight."
The air froze for a moment.
Fu Wenying's spoon stopped in mid-air. Meng Huaijin coughed lightly and looked at his son.
"Auntie Wang,"
Meng Yanchen called the servant without even looking up, "Clean up the young lady's room. Change the bedsheets to silk ones, Qinqin has sensitive skin."
Xu Qin's heart warmed up. He still cared about her after all.
Tonight, she must regain her place in his heart!
