"Wanqing, you've come at just the right time. I was just about to call you. The hospital cafeteria has a really good crispy pork dish. You should try it later."
Wen Wanqing is always serious in public, but only those who are close to her know about her little quirk of having a sweet tooth.
Seeing her friend's concern for her so much, Wen Wan's usually cool and aloof expression softened slightly, and she smiled gently: "Then I'll have to give it a good try. If it's not bad, I won't treat you to steak when we get back."
Yu Manfan's light tone carried a confident certainty: "Then you can't escape."
"I really don't know what's so delicious about that bloody stuff? That's why you always crave it."
Wen Wanqing genuinely didn't understand and casually complained. Yu Manfan's smile froze slightly, her thick eyelashes casting a shadow on her dark eyes. Then she looked up, her eyes sparkling with the playful banter between best friends.
"And you're talking about me? We don't know who's the glutton!"
Wen Wanqing knew her reasoning was flawed, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Manfan, when are you going back to Beijing?"
"This afternoon, I was going to ask you if you wanted to come with me. I could look after you."
Yu Manfan's eyes swept over Wen Wanqing's injured ankle, and she said angrily, "This hospital is really unlucky. She was perfectly fine when that rude little medical assistant bumped into her..."
"What are you standing there for? It's almost lunchtime, can't you see everyone's busy? You lazybones!"
A loud shout caused Wen Wanqing and Yu Manfan to turn their heads.
Through the food serving window, the two women saw what appeared to be the man in charge of the kitchen berating a lazy woman who was looking down. They glanced at her briefly and then looked away.
"Wanqing, please sit down first, I'll go get the food."
The cafeteria has always been the place where news spreads the fastest, so the kitchen staff knew the important new people at the hospital.
Upon seeing Yu Manfan arrive, Liu Dazhuang, the cafeteria manager, immediately abandoned Liu Cuicui and greeted her warmly, "Dr. Yu is here? What would you like to eat today?"
"I'll have a serving of crispy pork, braised pork, two bowls of noodles, and a bowl of egg drop soup."
"Okay. Dr. Yu, please sit down and wait a moment. I'll have someone bring it to you in a bit."
Yu Manfan raised her chin slightly and hummed in agreement, then turned and sat down opposite Wen Wanqing.
The two started chatting again.
"Go away! Get out of my way! Hurry up and wash the vegetables!" Liu Dazhuang said impatiently.
Covered in injuries, he not only delayed things but was also lazy. If it weren't for Commander Su's distant relative...
Liu Cuicui, who had been scolded, bit her lip, swallowed her anger, and resignedly began washing vegetables.
The well water was icy cold. Liu Cuicui had been beaten and scolded by Huo Jun before, and had accidentally crushed her hand on the broken pieces of a porcelain bowl, cutting it in several places. Her wounds hadn't healed yet, and now, upon contact with the cold water, a chill seeped into her flesh. She gasped, and her fingers trembled.
But she didn't care about any of that; instead, she was preoccupied with one thing.
That old hag actually knows a famous doctor who came to Beijing! They seem to have a pretty good relationship!
No wonder Su Yue, who had a great reputation in her past life, lost to Su Wantang in this life. It turns out she didn't have any real skills at all!
It was all just a tactic to suppress and humiliate her, and force her to divorce him!
Thinking about all this, Liu Cuicui almost crushed her teeth!
No way! We can't let that old hag get away with this so easily!
Liu Cuicui thought and thought, and actually came up with a good idea.
So she stopped washing the vegetables and slipped out of the kitchen when no one was looking.
"Who sent you to my office?"
Su Yue was furious. The colleague who had just called her clearly had a look in her eyes that said, "You know someone like that?"
In that instant, Su Yue felt disliked, and the high-class image of a teacher's daughter that she had cultivated all along vanished.
"I need to talk to you about something."
"Can't we wait until I get off work to talk about this!"
Liu Cuicui glanced at Su Yue dismissively: "Do you still want to be a daughter-in-law of the Lu family?"
Of course she wants to!
Su Yue rolled her eyes and calmed down a bit.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
"Come here."
Su Yue initially didn't think much of it, but as Liu Cuicui revealed her scheme, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Now that someone is taking the blame for her, she no longer needs to worry about being exposed.
As for offending Wen Wanqing? It's not like we haven't offended her before. What's there to be afraid of?
Besides, she married Lu Huai'an, not to be Wen Wanqing's foot-washing maid. If he treats her well, she doesn't mind giving him a perfunctory response! If he doesn't treat her well…
Hmph! Once she's in the house, we'll separate!
"Alright, get back to work now, or Supervisor Liu will come after me again saying you're slacking off! I can't afford to lose face like that!"
After saying this, Su Yue seemed to be irritated by the earthy and sour smell emanating from Liu Cuicui. She disgustedly fanned her nose with her palm and quickly left the stairwell.
Seeing Su Yue's action, Liu Cuicui's face darkened, but then she thought of something and curled up the corners of her mouth.
You old hag! You caused me so much suffering in my past life! You won't have an easy time either!
office.
When Su Yue returned from her trip, she went straight to Su Wantang's side and said, "Su Wantang, you idiot, you probably don't know why you weren't recruited by Beijing Hospital despite your outstanding performance, do you?"
Su Wantang truly did not know.
She asked Xu Feng, but he just shook his head, looking like he wasn't quite sure either.
But does Su Yue really know?
"The director doesn't know? You do? You think too highly of yourself!" Su Wantang glanced at a patch of dark blue trousers and deliberately provoked him.
Feeling slighted, Su Yue's face turned pale: "What's a director? My dad's a division commander!"
"You don't know yet, do you? Your mother-in-law and Dr. Yu are best friends. She looks down on you, so—"
