Chu Ningyi leisurely lifted his head to stare cooly at her. She had not even called his phone, not even once. This little girl was not just an idiot. If her entire brain was not filled with seawater, what was it filled with then?
Therefore, the focus of the pair was on different points of view.
“Chu Ningyi, it’s people like you who’ll get their tongue pulled out first once you descend into hell.” Shui Anluo restrained her anger. She would lose if she flew into a rage.
“I’ve never believed in hell. Where does this tongue-pulling analogy come from? Besides, no matter how horrible I am, I’ll go to heaven. Don’t worry, I’ll bring you along with me when the time comes,” Chu Ningyi answered complacently.
Shui Anluo almost spat out blood. Indeed, her merits were much too inferior compared to her son. Whenever her son goes against Chu Ningyi, Chu Ningyi would lose. Now, however, she has no way of retaliation.
Shui Anluo chomped down on her breakfast irritably. It was now past seven. “I’m leaving,” she snapped angrily.
“I’ll send you.”
“There’s no need!” Shui Anluo rejected him viciously. She certainly does not want to be angered to death by him in the car.
“It’s on the way, I need to settle some matters over there.” Chu Ningyi smiled as he spoke. He then passed her by.
Shui Anluo angrily jabbed at a voodoo doll which had the name ‘Chu Ningyi’ plastered on top of it in her mind.
This time, when they entered the car, no matter how much Chu Ningyi tried to provoke her, Shui Anluo would maintain an ‘If I don’t speak to you, you have no way of attacking me’ attitude and stared out the window.
The car stopped in front of the hospital at eight sharp. Shui Anluo pulled a face at him when she got down from the car and ran into the hospital.
Chu Ningyi, however, was in a great mood. He would feel happy whenever he saw her smile.
“Back to the office,” Chu Ningyi said in a deep voice.
Uncle Chu was taken aback. Had he not said that he had to settle some matters here? However, he did not question Chu Ningyi and turned the car around instead.
Chu Ningyi stared at the hospital as it slowly disappeared from view. How could the little girl possibly allow him to send her off if he had not said that he had to settle some matters?
When Shui Anluo stepped into the hospital, the first thing she noticed was eyes coming at her from every direction and discussions in hushed tones.
Shui Anluo stepped into the elevator, turned around and stared back at the people who were still staring at her. However, she ignored them.
Shui Anluo’s previous internship office had been taken back so she had to wait for Qiao Huihe in front of the director’s office door.
“Oh my, what’s this ancestor doing here again? Who’s she going to torture again this time?”
“Walk away, walk away. Please don’t send her to us, I’m scared of her.”
Shui Anluo watched two doctors scurry away quickly in front of her. She would be lying if she said she did not care. After all, no one liked to be treated and avoided like the plague.
Shui Anluo lowered her head and looked at the tips of her feet. Gossipy whispers would brush across her ears from time to time but she continued to keep her head down.
“Why didn’t you defend yourself?”
An icy-cold voice suddenly rang out. Shui Anluo immediately raised her head and saw Qiao Huihe, who was dressed in a black overcoat, right before her very eyes. She instinctively took a step back and said, “There’s no need.”
“Because what they’re saying is the truth!” Qiao Huihe scoffed.
Shui Anluo lowered her head. The entire Chu family loved to hit the nail on the head.
Shui Anluo took a deep breath and looked up. “Director Qiao, starting today, I…”
“Come inside.” Qiao Huihe did not wait for her to finish speaking. Instead, she opened the door and walked in.
Shui Anluo tightened the grip on her knapsack and turned around to follow her inside.
However, just as she walked in, Chu Ningyi stepped out from the corner.
Uncle Chu was standing behind him. The Young Master had asked him to turn back after a while. They then stepped into the hospital and overheard the whispers about the Young Madam but had not said a word back.
