"No wonder I've been single for so many years. It turns out I'm not good enough. I still need to learn more from Dr. Xiao."
The man in the white shirt was out again, and Tsang Yok-sing couldn't stand it anymore. He said irritably, "If you run into him, you'll be taken down too."
What? This seems to be talking about Xiang Wan, right? When did she provoke Zeng Yucheng again? It seems she hasn't mentioned Zeng Yucheng since Gan Xiaochen arrived. Hmm, it seems we can't be biased.
“Squad Leader Zeng has been through it all; you should learn more from him.”
He was only taken in after studying, and then his wife ran off with someone else.
Tsang Yok-sing's face was long and his fingers holding the wine glass were white.
If it weren't for the fact that she's a woman, I probably would have splashed it on her.
Xiang Wan thought with disdain that such a petty and cowardly man deserved to be dumped.
"Don't change the subject. Weren't we just talking about Xiao Da, the campus heartthrob's, contact list? Aren't you interested?"
The fat man loved watching the drama unfold, but since the focus was always on Xiao Ming, some people couldn't stand it anymore.
"Fatty, you're such a busybody. Why are you always staring at Xiao Ming? I remember you were just as impressive back then. Tell us about your glorious history. I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea of arranging to meet him and then running away beforehand?"
The buzz cut changed the subject, and no one said he was wrong. After all, Xiao Ming's joke would probably keep them talking for years to come.
"Bullshit, I was just buying someone a drink. Who knew you guys were secretly following me, making them too embarrassed to ask. Let me tell you, you guys..."
"Xiang Wan, are you going to the restroom?"
While everyone's attention was drawn to the fat man, Zhao Yuanyuan secretly tugged at Xiang Wan's clothes, her eyes seeming to hold a secret she wanted to tell her alone.
Xiang Wan nodded, rummaged through her bag for her phone and tissues, and left the lobby with her. She dared not leave her phone there, giving someone an opportunity to do something bad; that's how it's always portrayed on TV—don't give the enemy even the slightest chance.
Besides, she drank so much soup; it would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because once she did, she felt like she couldn't hold it in anymore.
After they left, several people followed them to the restroom. Before they could even get a chance to speak to Zhao Yuanyuan alone, they were already being followed.
After tidying up her hair at the bathroom sink, Gan Xiaochen and Zhou Sulan walked in one after the other.
Zhou Sulan glared at her fiercely, then pulled Gan Xiaochen into the cubicle.
Xiang Wan chuckled, thinking it felt like elementary school students going to the toilet, with groups of children going in.
Instead of leaving, they washed their hands a little longer with Zhao Yuanyuan and then stood at the door waiting for their hands to dry.
Zhao Yuanyuan glanced at the restroom and leaned closer, asking, "Xiang Wan, did you really divorce Xiao Ming?"
Xiang Wan nodded. Was there any need to confirm this? It was all out in the open.
Zhao Yuanyuan looked around, pulled her to the corner of the stairs, and whispered, "Is it because of Gan Xiaochen?"
Hmm? Xiang Wan was puzzled. She didn't seem to have said that. Could there be something more to it?
Seeing Xiang Wan's curious expression, Zhao Yuanyuan hesitated, unsure whether she should say what she was about to say.
From her expression, Xiang Wan knew that she was worried about being accused of sowing discord.
He patted her hand from behind and smiled, "It's okay. Xiao Ming and I have already broken up, but I don't want to be fooled by someone. Whatever you saw, I will remember your kindness and won't tell anyone."
Zhao Yuanyuan thought for a moment, her eyes hardening. "After the last class reunion, I don't know where Gan Xiaochen got the news that Xiao Ming was at Guangming Hospital, but I always saw her going there. She once said that she lived in the west of the city, but she went to the west of the city for treatment. Isn't that strange?"
“I didn’t think much of it at first, assuming she just wanted to see an old classmate so she would feel more at ease when she went to see a doctor. But one time, when I went to the gynecologist to get my medicine, I overheard them chatting. They were talking about a very beautiful woman who, despite only having one gynecological problem, always made appointments with the internal medicine department and even had Dr. Xiao call her for a consultation. I was curious and looked at the list of appointments, and I immediately saw Gan Xiaochen’s name.”
“I was wondering why she always went to see Xiao Ming. But when I heard you say you got divorced just now, I put the dots. If your divorce was because of her, then I can tell you that Dr. Xiao didn’t cheat on you; it was Gan Xiaochen who was harassing him.”
No wonder the original owner had the wrong idea; she never imagined Gan Xiaochen had done so much behind the scenes. But how did Zhao Yuanyuan become so certain that Xiao Ming hadn't cheated?
Seeing the question in Xiang Wan's eyes, Zhao Yuanyuan knew that it was necessary to explain clearly.
“Once, I caught Xiao Ming throwing a tantrum, telling the nurse at the triage desk not to let Gan Xiaochen in, saying he didn’t want to see a patient with ulterior motives who was delaying other people’s appointments. The nurse was puzzled and replied, ‘It’s because he’s so ugly that he’s infuriating.’ Later, when I saw Xiao Ming again, I saw him wearing a mask.”
So that's how it is. Xiao Ming wore a mask to avoid Gan Xiaochen. But a mask can only protect you from others, not Gan Xiaochen.
"I don't know what happened after that. I didn't have the heart to say it in the private room just now. The way Gan Xiaochen looked at Xiao Ming, she probably hasn't given up. If you still have feelings for Xiao Ming, don't let her get away with it."
Xiang Wan was puzzled. Did Zhao Yuanyuan have a grudge against Gan Xiaochen?
"This woman, she acts all proper on the surface, but she's got no shortage of suitors, and I've never seen her reject anyone. Don't laugh at me, but my brother is one of them. Even though he knows she's not a good match, he just won't let go. He even lost his job because of it. I just want to warn you, don't let her ruin you."
Xiang Wan smiled. Even if Zhao Yuanyuan had ulterior motives, she should still be grateful for her willingness to share what she had seen and heard. After all, these days, people who would stand up for others are rare.
