Chapter 34 Not So Smart



Li Ying demanded that the hospital send someone to investigate her private affairs, but Rong Ning hurriedly stopped her, saying, "It must all be a misunderstanding!"

Misunderstand?

The girl who had just spoken ill of Li Ying looked at Rong Ning with confusion.

"Nurse Rong, you were the one who told us those things, and you're saying it was a misunderstanding?"

Rong Ning's face turned deathly pale, and she forced a smile: "I only heard it from others, without verifying it. I wouldn't dare to say anything in front of the dean. It really is all a misunderstanding!"

Li Ying smiled enigmatically: "Since it's all a misunderstanding, Comrade Rong Ning, you've been spreading rumors and badmouthing me everywhere. Can a simple 'misunderstanding' really resolve all that?"

Rong Ning clenched her fists. She wanted to argue, but she knew that as long as she didn't admit it, Li Ying would relentlessly pursue the matter.

Li Ying has already lost all sense of shame, but she still has some sense of decency and wants to consider Lu Xingzhou's future.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Li Ying, I was wrong."

"If you're wrong, you have to have the right attitude!" Lu Qingzhu said coldly. "Although you just said it casually, many people think that there's a big problem with our military hospital's recruitment process. This is tarnishing the hospital's reputation! In my opinion, just saying you're wrong isn't enough. The entire hospital needs to post your self-criticism report and sincerely apologize to Li Ying!"

The dean remained silent, clearly agreeing with Lu Qingzhu's suggestion.

Rong Ning's spreading of rumors has caused trouble for the hospital, and it is indeed necessary to clarify this publicly.

Rong Ning's nails were so angry they almost dug into her flesh, but for Lu Xingzhou's future, she could only endure it. Anyway, she was going to the research group soon, so she might as well apologize.

"Dean, I'm willing to apologize!"

The two girls glared at Rong Ning resentfully, then turned and slunk away.

Li Ying smiled and looked at Lu Qingzhu: "Thank you, Junior Brother! Thank you, Dean, for trusting me!"

The dean waved his hand, speaking kindly: "You're too kind, young lady! I've been too busy with work and didn't realize someone was slandering you. If I had known, I would never have let such a thing happen."

Li Ying was still very grateful.

Lu Qingzhu accompanied the dean to get food, and Li Ying sat down to eat happily.

Rong Ning genuinely wrote a self-criticism and posted it in various departments of the hospital, sincerely apologizing to Li Ying.

When she got home, she threw herself into Lu Xingzhou's arms and cried miserably.

"Li Ying has gone too far! How could she treat you like this?" Lu Xingzhou exclaimed indignantly, never expecting Li Ying to be so vicious.

"Xingzhou, it's nothing for me to suffer a little grievance. As long as it doesn't affect your future, I'm really fine."

Rong Ning wiped away her tears and said with a wronged expression.

Lu Xingzhou felt even more sorry for Rong Ning, cupping her cheeks in his hands: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have eloped with a woman like Li Ying for the sake of my future. Although we didn't get a marriage certificate, she at least stayed in the Lu family for three years. But three years couldn't warm this woman's heart. She's so petty and scheming against you. It's despicable!"

"Xingzhou, have you talked to Academician Cao about me joining the research group?" Rong Ning nestled in Lu Xingzhou's arms: "I really can't bear to stay at the nurses' station."

“I contacted Academician Cao, and he promised you that he would recruit you into the research group in a couple of days under the pretext of recruiting new members.”

Rong Ning immediately burst into laughter through her tears and kissed Lu Xingzhou hard: "I knew it, you're the only one with a way."

Lu Xingzhou was burning with desire because of Rong Ning. He stripped Rong Ning's clothes off and rolled onto the bed...

Li Ying came out a little late today and saw Ye Jingchi sitting on the back of his bicycle waiting for her. She couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

This man is actually very suitable to be a husband and a father. Apart from being a little old-fashioned, there's really nothing wrong with him.

"get off work?"

When Ye Jingchi saw Li Ying, he walked up to her, grabbed her hand, and led her away.

"It's a bit late today, are you getting impatient?"

"No rush, it's just that my second brother is back and wants to see you."

Ye Jingchi's second brother, Hua Qingqing's husband, works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Li Ying got into the car and gently wrapped her arms around Ye Jingchi's waist. "Then let's go back quickly."

As Ye Jingchi pedaled, he heard Li Ying's stomach rumbling, and then he heard the sound of vendors selling wontons in the distance. He stopped his bike.

Are you hungry?

Li Ying nodded. Her appetite had increased a lot since she became pregnant, and she ate quite a lot at noon, but she was hungry again at this time, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Then let's eat something first before going back."

"good."

Who cares who it is? Li Ying's biggest concern is filling her stomach. As for her second brother, he's not someone she's in a rush to see.

The two sat down and ordered two servings of wontons.

The aroma of the wontons made Li Ying's mouth water.

"Look at you."

Ye Jingchi raised his hand and wiped the drool from the corner of Li Ying's lips. Li Ying, however, seemed unimpressed and smiled, saying, "It smells so good!"

"Of course, our wontons are all made with pure meat filling, and my wife makes them herself. They're delicious and inexpensive."

Upon hearing Li Ying's words, the boss couldn't help but boast.

"Boss, is your wonton shop a long-established brand?"

"Of course it's a time-honored brand. My great-great-grandfather sold wontons here. This used to be a grand theater, but it was demolished and replaced by a military hospital. Our family's wonton stall has been passed down for four or five generations."

The owner quickly made the wontons, blanched them, poured them into a bowl, added seasonings, and served them on the table.

Ye Jingchi scooped a few wontons from his bowl and gave them to Li Ying.

"I also thought these wontons smelled so good that I wanted to try them. Otherwise, you can have both bowls."

Li Ying waved her hand: "One bowl is enough for me. I still need to eat dinner when I get back."

"Okay, then eat quickly."

Ye Zhonghong and Nuannuan witnessed the two eating wontons.

"My third brother is getting more and more outrageous! My second brother is waiting for them at home, and they're eating here!" Ye Zhonghong said angrily.

Nuannuan tugged at Ye Zhonghong: "Take me home first, then you can go back, okay?"

"Okay." Ye Zhonghong helped Nuannuan up. "Why haven't we heard anything from Leng Su yet?"

“It will be soon. I called him a few days ago, and he said he could give us all the information in less than two weeks.” Nuannuan said to Ye Zhonghong in a low voice, her face pale. “You must keep what happened today a secret. You can’t tell anyone!”

"Don't worry, I'm very strict."

Ye Zhonghong helped Nuannuan into the car and said to the driver, "Let's go home."

After Li Ying and Ye Jingchi finished eating wontons, they went home, arriving just in time for dinner to be served.

"Yingying." Hua smiled gently and pulled Li Ying into the living room.

Sitting in the living room was a handsome man in his early thirties, whose features resembled Ye Jingchi's. He must be Ye Jingchi's second brother, Ye Wenchi.

"Yingying, this is your second brother, Wen Chi. He just returned from Shanghai," Hua Qingqing introduced.

Li Ying smiled faintly: "Second Brother."

Ye Wenchi smiled gently: "I heard from Qingqing that you helped her family accept her again, and I am very grateful to you. But Li Ying, a smart person knows how to do things, while you seem smart, but you are not actually smart."
