Upon hearing this, Lu Yanting's anger flared up. He hadn't even gone to sleep yet, but this woman was sleeping soundly.
Lu Yanting said irritably, "Miss Qiu, you're something else! You poisoned your sugar daddy so badly he ended up in the hospital, and you're sleeping soundly!"
Qiu Mang's previously muddled mind instantly cleared. Upon hearing that familiar voice, she immediately sat up straight, her voice tinged with surprise: "Lu, Lu Yanting?"
"You still know it's me?" Lu Yanting's tone grew even colder.
"Lu Yanting, are you alright?" Qiu Mang asked anxiously.
"Thanks to you, I wasn't poisoned, but I almost died from the spiciness." Lu Yanting replied irritably, still annoyed at the memory of the spicy lunch that had given him a stomachache.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Mang was somewhat puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Spicy? Is the dish I cooked today very spicy? The chili peppers I bought are the least spicy ones yet."
At this point, she paused, then, remembering that the other party was both a major investor and a patient who had just been discharged from the hospital, her tone softened.
"I'm really sorry," Qiu Mang said apologetically, with a slightly embarrassed smile on her face.
"I thought the patient's mouth was probably dry and they wanted something with a strong flavor to satisfy their craving... Don't worry, I definitely won't stir-fry chili peppers next time." After saying that, she chuckled twice, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Lu Yanting's lips curled up slightly, letting out a soft chuckle. "You think you can get away with this so easily? After sending me to the hospital, you just washed your hands of it. How are you going to settle this score?"
Qiu Mang pouted in dissatisfaction and argued, "Well... I've already taken care of everything for you. I only left after Yan Kai arrived at the hospital. There's no way I abandoned you."
She paused, then, as if remembering something, quickly added, "Also, I went to the hospital to see you today, but when I saw Miss Xu there, I felt like I was standing there like a big light bulb, so I didn't go in and disturb her."
Lu Yanting was amused by her, "A third wheel? Have you ever seen a third wheel who shares a room with the person in question and even goes to bed with them?"
Qiu Mang was speechless for a moment, and after a long pause, she finally replied, "Lu Yanting, if you don't have anything else, I'll go to sleep first. I'm quite tired after a long day."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanting flew into a rage, his voice turning cold: "What? You want to hang up on me like this?"
Qiu Mang took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and make her voice sound calm: "No, it's just that I noticed you called and talked on and on for a long time, only to blame me and not to say anything else."
Lu Yanting snorted coldly, his tone icy: "Shouldn't we criticize them?"
Qiu Mang pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment before saying, "I told you, I feel really guilty about what happened to you, but what's done is done, and all I can do is try my best to make amends."
I took you to the hospital promptly, and arranged everything perfectly there, even paying the hospital fees. I also specifically instructed Yan Kai to notify me immediately if anything happened. I've been keeping in touch with Yan Kai all day; I believe I've done my best.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanting was taken aback and blurted out, "You'd rather contact Yan Kai than call me?"
Qiu Mang raised her hand and rubbed her temples. She really couldn't understand what the difference was between contacting Yan Kai and contacting Lu Yanting. Besides, the patient needed to rest, and she didn't call him because she was afraid of disturbing him. What was he getting so angry about now?
Qiu Mang sighed softly, rubbing her forehead. "President Lu, I'm relieved to know you're alright now. You've just recovered, so you should get some rest!" With that, she hung up the phone without hesitation.
Lu Yanting stared at the disconnected call screen on his phone, raised his hand to press his throbbing temples, and muttered a curse under his breath.
The next day, Qiu Mang held Qiu Li's little hand and opened the door to their house. They saw several construction workers carrying tools, opening the door to the house opposite.
Qiu Mang was a little puzzled. This family had just moved out a couple of days ago, so how could someone else have taken over the house so quickly?
Upon seeing Qiu Mang emerge, a man from the renovation team wearing a white helmet stepped forward and politely asked, "Miss, do you live across the street?"
Qiu Mang nodded slightly, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards the house across the street. She asked curiously, "Has this house already started renovations?"
The man nodded slightly, a kind smile on his face: "Yes, construction started yesterday."
"Yesterday?" Qiu Mang was even more puzzled. "Then why didn't you make any noise about the renovation? I didn't hear a thing?"
The man chuckled good-naturedly and explained, "Young lady, you've really met a good neighbor! The homeowner specifically told us to keep the renovations as quiet as possible so as not to disturb your life."
Qiu Mang agreed verbally, but in her heart she only thought the other party was saying something polite and didn't take it to heart.
Qiu Mang took Qiu Li to the largest amusement park in Guangcheng for a great time, bought some snacks, and then went home satisfied.
As soon as they reached their doorstep, they saw the man in the house across the street look up at them, and then he instructed the remaining workers to pack up their tools and go home.
Qiu Mang glanced at her phone subconsciously. It was only 3 p.m., and she was already off work?
"Miss, we're off work now. See you tomorrow!" The man wearing a white helmet greeted her with a smile.
Qiu Mang couldn't help but ask, "When we met this morning, you had just started work, right?"
The man nodded in confirmation: "That's right."
Qiu Mang became increasingly confused. "We left home at 11 a.m. this morning, and it's only 3 p.m. now. Do you have such short working hours?"
The man adjusted his helmet and explained patiently with a smile, "The homeowner said that since we'll be neighbors, we need to get along well. If we have a falling out over the renovations from the start, it'll be awkward to see each other all the time, and we won't be able to get along!"
Qiu Mang listened and nodded thoughtfully. Although she still had some doubts, her neighbor's actions warmed her heart and made her feel quite comfortable.
Over the next few days, Qiu Mang had a persistent feeling that her neighbor across the street had installed a security camera in her home. Whenever she stepped outside, the renovation crew across the street would immediately start work, and by the time she returned home, they would have finished on time.
Qiu Mang was a little puzzled. Wasn't this neighbor being a bit too cautious?
...
Perhaps it was Dean Fang who spoke up, because a few days later, Director Guan took the initiative to contact Qiu Mang and asked her to bring her sister to the hospital so that he could personally help with the examination.
Qiu Mang was incredibly excited when she received the call.
