Shui Anluo looked up and shivered. She quickly got up but had to support herself with the stool due to the injury on her toe. “Director Qiao,” she cried out softly.
Qiao Huihe lowered her head and looked at her leg. “Another injury?” she asked calmly.
Shui Anluo lowered her head as she detected the disapproval in Qiao Huihe’s voice.
“Your mother-in-law keeps reminding me that you’re still young and asks me to be more tolerant but you’re already twenty-one, Shui Anluo. You’re not a child anymore and you should be more responsible in your actions. Your family’s indulgence over your youth is your capital for getting into trouble.” Qiao Huihe’s voice was stern, leaving no room for Shui Anluo’s dignity.
Perhaps, in Qiao Huihe’s heart, she had placed some blame on Shui Anluo. After all, Shui Anluo was the reason why the two girls that she had favored had landed in mishaps.
Shui Anluo frowned. She looked up at Qiao Huihe as she said, “Director Qiao, I’ve never considered their indulgence as capital for getting into trouble. I know that I’ve done a lot of things that you disapprove of but I don’t believe that I’ve done anything wrong.” Regardless of whether it was Lin Qianchen or Lan Xin’s incident, she admits that she had done nothing wrong.
Hence, there was no need for her to stand here and accept Qiao Huihe’s fabricated blame.
Qiao Huihe narrowed her eyes and placed her hands in the pockets of her white lab coat. “I’d love to see if your sharp teeth are only in your mouth or if you’re really that capable.”
Shui Anluo took a deep breath as she watched Qiao Huihe turn around. She cried out, “Director Qiao, I’ll be continuing my internship at the hospital once my injury has healed. If you have any other arrangements…”
“Other arrangements?” Qiao Huihe laughed icily. “To let you bring disaster upon another doctor? I’m a pile of old bones in every way, I have no reasons to fear your disasters,” Qiao Huihe said before she left.
Shui Anluo watched as Qiao Huihe’s figure disappeared around the corner. She then sat down and pursed her lips. Her former mother-in-law may have scolded her from time to time but she was still secretly very good to her.
However, Qiao Huihe truly hates her!
Shui Anluo looked up at the ceiling. Back then, when Mo Lusu had asked her what her opinion of Qiao Huihe was, she had actually said that she was a good person. She must have been insane.
Chu Ningyi returned with Shui Anluo’s favorite milk tea and saw that she was looking up at the heavens and sighing heavily.
She has pulled a nerve again!
This was the first thing Chu Ningyi could think of. His wife must have missed a dose of her medication before they had headed out. That was his fault.
Chu Ningyi walked over and tapped her on the forehead. “What’s wrong?”
“I won the battle but lost the war,” Shui Anluo replied as she reached out to accept the milk tea. “My favorite, you’re the best, Brother Chu,” Shui Anluo exclaimed before she sipped the drink with a grin.
Chu Ningyi sat down next to her and stroked her head. “It’s broad daylight and you’re already muttering foolish things? What? Did you really forget to take your medication before heading out today?”
Shui Anluo flung a sharp glare at him. “I’m going to continue my internship once my leg is better,” she whimpered as she drank.
“What, bringing disaster upon me and our son isn’t enough so you’re expanding your range of damage again?” Chu Ningyi’s sarcastic reply came naturally whenever it concerns his wife.
Shui Anluo’s entire head filled with black lines. She finished her sip of milk tea before she glanced at Chu Ningyi. “I’m afraid it’s too late to bring disaster upon you. After all, when I’m near you, the probability of me running into disaster is much greater than my probability of pricking the wrong vein and bringing disaster upon others.” Shui Anluo forced a smile at him then continued to drink her milk tea as she watched over the ward.
