Fu Jinheng's apology was exceptionally sincere, with no intention of shirking responsibility. Looking at him, Song Lan pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Dr. Fu, even if there was a mistake, it has nothing to do with you."
The implication is that there's no need for him to take the blame.
“But she is my sister after all. If she hadn’t come here to find me, she wouldn’t have met you, and she wouldn’t have gone to Shisong Village under the guise of being your friend, and then gone to the Xiao family through your elders. In short, in my opinion, Wang Jingjing is undoubtedly wrong, and as her older brother, I failed to keep a close eye on her and should bear some responsibility for the mistakes she made.”
After hearing Fu Jinheng's earnest explanation, Song Lan couldn't help but laugh: "It's nothing serious, Dr. Fu, there's really no need to take it to heart. Besides, didn't you already say..."
Comrade Wang Jingjing visited my home as a friend, and she brought gifts, which shows that she is quite organized and doesn't act recklessly or give others cause for gossip.
Song Lan trusted her parents quite well. Even though they hadn't spent much time together, both Song Sanhe and Li Jumei gave Song Lan the impression of being shrewd and calculating people.
Based on this, Song Lan believed that after hearing Wang Jingjing's request, the two would act cautiously because they would have to take Wang Jingjing to the Xiao family since she was her "friend".
In other words, they would never casually bring Wang Jingjing to meet the Xiao family.
With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Song Lan couldn't help but ask Fu Jinheng, "Did my mother lead the way?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Jinheng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "My sister said she only saw your mother."
The two stood in the corridor talking. Their voices were not loud, and they could not be heard if you were a little far away. But when someone saw them standing together, chatting and laughing, their jealousy grew wildly like weeds, and the fire of jealousy in their eyes almost burned red.
"What are Dr. Fu and Song Lan talking about?"
Outside the nurses' duty room, Li Meiqin saw two people standing about twenty or thirty meters away and unconsciously nudged Liu Xia with her elbow.
"have no idea."
The sudden sound beside her pulled Liu Xia back from the brink of losing her reason due to jealousy. Her hands, which were in the pockets of her nurse's uniform, clenched into fists unconsciously as she suppressed the resentment she felt towards Song Lan.
You forced me to do this!
Silently, she took a step towards where Fu Jinheng and Song Lan were standing.
Seeing this, Li Meiqin took a step and followed.
Unexpectedly, after Song Lan finished talking with Fu Jinheng, the two went in opposite directions.
Okay, to be more specific, Fu Jinheng is walking towards Liu Xia and Li Meiqin right now.
"Good afternoon, Dr. Fu."
As the distance closed, Li Meiqin smiled and greeted Fu Jinheng. When she noticed that Liu Xia remained silent, her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, wondering what her friend was up to.
Since Dr. Fu was about to pass by them, why didn't he politely say hello?
Just as Li Meiqin was pondering to herself, Liu Xia's voice rang out: "Dr. Fu, it seems that you and Nurse Song are getting married soon. I wonder when we can all enjoy your wedding candy?"
Her tone was sarcastic and tinged with bitterness.
Li Meiqin opened her eyes wide, thinking that Liu Xia must be out of her mind. How could she make up something out of nothing and ask to eat the other party and Song Lan's wedding candy in front of Dr. Fu?
Not to mention that Dr. Fu has only been at their staff hospital for a short time, Song Lan was also transferred back from the factory's security department not long ago.
Furthermore, she had never heard of Dr. Fu dating Song Lan at the hospital, nor had she seen any ambiguous behavior between the two.
Of course, in Li Meiqin's view, it was perfectly normal for the two of them to be standing there talking.
We all work in the same hospital, so we see each other all the time. It's perfectly normal to chat a bit when we bump into each other. There's no need to make a fuss about it.
Besides, the two were talking openly and honestly, and they might even be talking about work-related matters. It wasn't like they were whispering in secret. Only someone with a messy mind would think of Dr. Fu and Dr. Fu in such a negative light.
"Nurse Liu, please take back what you just said!"
Fu Jinheng stopped, the faint smile that had been on his face when he was facing Li Meiqin vanished, and he stared coldly at Liu Xia, exuding a low-pressure aura.
However, Liu Xia seemed completely oblivious, ignoring the cold glint in Fu Jinheng's eyes, and said in a joking tone, "Did I say something wrong? But I just saw Dr. Fu and Nurse Song chatting and laughing."
They seem to only have eyes for each other, just like a couple. Besides, Dr. Fu has feelings for Nurse Song. Could it be that I'm seeing things wrong, or that I'm just imagining things?
"Nurse Liu, that's utter nonsense!"
Fu Jinheng's face was cold and stern: "I only bumped into Nurse Song in the corridor and chatted about some work-related matters, yet you made malicious assumptions and lied to me. Don't you know that Nurse Song is married?"
"Song Lan is married?"
Li Meiqin looked surprised: "Dr. Fu, do you mean Song Lan is married?"
Fu Jinheng nodded at her, then turned his gaze back to Liu Xia, who was equally surprised: "Given your character, Nurse Liu, I think you are not suitable to work in the staff hospital!"
After saying this, Fu Jinheng withdrew his gaze from Liu Xia and continued walking forward, completely ignoring her expression.
"What does he mean? Meiqin, what do you think Dr. Fu means? He's just a doctor, what right does he have to say I'm not suitable to work in a hospital?"
Upon learning from Fu Jinheng that Song Lan was married, Liu Xia was surprised but didn't have time to be happy before hearing what Fu Jinheng said next, which made her feel very annoyed.
"this……"
Li Meiqin didn't know how to respond.
She knew that Liu Xia liked Dr. Fu. To be honest, she also had feelings for Dr. Fu. After all, he came from Beijing, had worked in a major hospital, and was very capable. Since he started working at their staff hospital, every surgery he performed had received unanimous praise from the patients' families. He was definitely a good husband candidate.
However, Li Meiqin knew that such an excellent doctor as Dr. Fu could not possibly be her catch, because she knew her own limitations very well. If she really plunged headlong into it, she would definitely suffer the consequences!
She might even resort to despicable means to get Dr. Fu; if that were the case, she would undoubtedly have become unrecognizable.
Will Dr. Fu fall in love with someone like her?
No way! She was plain-looking to begin with, but her good points were her fair skin and good temper. Even so, Dr. Fu never paid much attention to her, so how could he possibly like her now that she's completely changed?
Li Meiqin shook her head with a wry smile, feeling that she was overthinking things. However, she was glad that she had the self-awareness to not become a pest in Dr. Fu's eyes.
Yes, Li Meiqin noticed in that instant that Fu Jinheng looked at Liu Xia as if she were a bedbug, his dark eyes filled with disgust and indifference, but Li Meiqin didn't know if Liu Xia had noticed.
