She just didn't know what the other person wanted to say when they suddenly called her over.
After all, they had never had any contact.
Yao Qingwan, wearing a mid-length camel coat over a military uniform, looked Song Lan up and down for a moment before asking with a cold and arrogant expression, "What is your relationship with Dr. Mu?"
"Before answering your question, shouldn't I first know who you are, comrade?"
Song Lan remained calm, neither taking the other person's scrutiny to heart nor paying any attention to the criticism in their eyes.
"My surname is Yao, and I am a neurosurgeon at this hospital."
Yao Qingwan said indifferently, then asked, "Now you can tell me what your relationship is with Dr. Mu, right?"
"colleague."
Song Lan's words were concise and to the point.
That's it?
Yao Qingwan made it clear that she didn't believe it.
"What kind of relationship does Dr. Yao hope I will have with Dr. Mu?"
Today, Song Lan wore a light gray mid-length cashmere coat and a cream-colored cashmere scarf around her neck, which made her already fair skin look even whiter.
In addition, her appearance was exceptionally beautiful and her temperament was refined. Standing in front of Yao Qingwan, she not only felt a strong sense of rejection, but also an uncontrollable jealousy.
"you……"
Pulled back to reality by Song Lan's voice, Yao Qingwan's face turned grim. She said, "I called you back because I wanted to tell you, Doctor, that Dr. Mu is my boyfriend. You'd better stay away from him in your daily life."
She's from a small town, and only on temporary assignment; she might have to go back to her original unit in a few days. There's no need for her to lower herself to argue with someone like that.
Withdrawing her gaze from Song Lan, Yao Qingwan entered the dormitory building before Song Lan could respond.
The male and female staff dormitories were next to each other. Coincidentally, Mu Ting and Qiu Mingxuan walked up to the male staff dormitory.
Looking up, Qiu Mingxuan saw Yao Qingwan talking to Song Lan. Soon after, he saw Yao Qingwan walk past Song Lan and into the dormitory building. Seeing this, Qiu Mingxuan nudged Mu Ting with his elbow and said:
"Didn't I tell you? Dr. Song is clearly being targeted!"
Mu Ting didn't reply, his handsome face revealing no emotion. He strode into the dormitory building, and Qiu Mingxuan quickly followed, asking, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Dr. Qiu, what do you want to hear me say?"
Looking at Qiu Mingxuan expressionlessly, Mu Ting said, "If you want to watch the show, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
"Dr. Mu, you must have misunderstood me. When did I ever say I wanted to watch the show? Honestly, am I that kind of person?!"
Qiu Mingxuan muttered to himself.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ting chuckled, went up to the second floor, walked to the door of Qiu Mingxuan's dormitory, took out his key to open the door, and before Qiu Mingxuan could follow him in, he raised his hand to stop him at the door:
"Go back to your own dorm. I need to rest. I don't have time for idle chatter."
"Hey! Are you trying to spite me, kid?"
Qiu Mingxuan glared at him: "Did I provoke you?"
"Go if you want to."
Pushing the person a little distance away, Mu Ting casually closed the door.
Qiu Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Dr. Mu, you're really something! I'm waiting for you to apologize to me!"
Shaking his head and laughing, Qiu Mingxuan walked to the door of the dormitory next door, took out his key and opened his own dormitory door.
-
Time flies, and tomorrow is the surgery date that Song Lan has arranged for Grandpa Jiang.
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Song Lan realized she hadn't called home for several days. So, as soon as it was time to leave work, she picked up the landline phone on her desk and dialed the number she knew by heart.
Through the transfer, Li Jumei's voice came through the microphone, and Song Lan immediately said with a smile, "Mom, it's me."
"Are you doing well lately?"
Li Jumei asked, holding the microphone.
"I'm fine!"
Song Lan responded, and then asked, "Mom, are you and Dad, and everything at home alright?"
Li Jumei: "Don't worry, we can eat and drink well. Do you want to talk to Yanzheng?"
"Is he off work?"
Song Lan asked.
Li Jumei: "Yan Zheng came back early today, and he's with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, keeping Da Bao and Er Bao company."
Song Lan: "I didn't call because it was anything important. I just wanted to ask if everything was alright at home. I don't need to ask my mom to come over and answer my call."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Li Jumei responded with a cheerful smile.
"Is my dad still in the village? Mom, did Qin Yanzheng drive you back to the village to see him? And how is Grandma's health?"
Song Lan asked three questions in a row. On the other end of the line, Li Jumei responded, "Your dad comes to see Da Bao and Er Bao every few days. I haven't gone back to the village."
But I heard from your dad that your grandma hasn't had any health problems lately. By the way, something big happened in our village recently..."
Hearing Li Jumei's voice through the microphone, the important matter Li Jumei mentioned, Song Lan's expression became serious.
"Two days have passed, and the brigade leader and the others still haven't found Yuan and He, the educated youths. The commune has even sent comrades from the militia company to search for them."
Unable to find Yuan and the other two, everyone was whispering that they had most likely been kidnapped.
Li Jumei undoubtedly heard about what was happening in the village from Song Sanhe.
With the Spring Festival approaching, is it possible that they went back to the city to spend the New Year with their families?
Song Lan said this, but she knew in her heart that the possibility was slim.
"Your dad said the brigade leader had considered this possibility, but after contacting the county's educated youth office, the comrades there gave Yuan, the educated youth..."
When He Zhiqing contacted the local educated youth office, the reply was that Yuan Zhiqing and He Zhiqing had not returned to the city.
Besides, it's not a big deal for the educated youth in the educated youth compound to want to go home for the Spring Festival. As long as they ask the brigade leader for leave, it will definitely be approved. There's absolutely no need for them to sneak back.
Li Jumei sighed and said, "Although Yuan Zhiqing's reputation in our village isn't great, ever since she became a daughter-in-law of our village..."
I haven't heard of them causing any trouble like before, and He Zhiqing has always been a capable person. It's a shame that two grown women disappeared on the same day.
Nowadays, not only are the female educated youth and young women in our village afraid to go out alone, but even the female educated youth and young women in the surrounding villages are the same; whenever they go out, they always go in groups, for fear of encountering those heartless kidnappers!
"We need to be cautious; it's better to be safe than sorry."
Song Lan replied.
The mother and daughter chatted for about three or four minutes. Just as Song Lan was about to end the call, Qin Yaqing suddenly walked into the living room and asked Li Jumei, "Auntie, was that my sister-in-law calling?"
After receiving Li Jumei's affirmative answer, Qin Yaqing hesitated for a moment and asked Li Jumei, "Can I say a few words to my sister-in-law?"
"Why not?!"
Li Jumei smiled and handed the microphone to Qin Yaqing.
"Sister-in-law."
Taking the microphone, Qin Yaqing called out to Song Lan. Hearing her voice, Song Lan smiled and said, "Big sister, you have something to tell me."
