Chapter 396
Zhou Zhilei was thinking, and Zhou Heng ended his conversation with the butler and sat back down beside her.
“Zhilei, what do you want to say?”
Zhou Zhilei was frightened. She was afraid that he would ask about the registration, and she immediately lied. “Nothing. Grandpa, what are you trying to say?”
Zhou Heng grunted and threw the documents in his hands onto her lap. “Zhilei, have a look at it yourself. Ning Qing’s special red wine brand, Yi Fan, has been gaining much fanfare and attention online. Why did you not handle it? We are businessmen. We have to prioritize profits first and foremost, Ning Qing is a golden signboard in the entertainment industry. She is able to bring attention to anything just by using her name. If she comes to participate in the red wine competition, do you know how much our red wine competition benefit? Why did you not allow her to participate in the red wine competition? Don’t ever tell me that you are trying to be fair inside your heart!”
The word “fair” was what she had said to Ning Qing at the main hall of Zhou Corporation that day, and she did not expect that her words would be passed into his ears.
Zhou Zhilei pinched her own thigh harshly. The tears in her eyes flowed out as she turned her head sideways and spoke with tears streaming down her face as she looked at Zhou Heng. She choked up as she said, “Grandpa, I know you are angry. All of this is my mistake; I admit to that. But Grandpa, do you only bother solely about profit making in your heart? You are unable to see my struggles and my pain. Could you actually not know what kind of person Ning Qing is?”
Zhou Heng looked at Zhou Zhilei cry. The stern expression in his eyes slowly turned gentle, and he stoically said, “Zhilei, Grandpa knows the difficulties that you went through, but Shaoming, he…doesn’t love you. You are too obsessed with him, and you went on the wrong path all by yourself. I met that girl Ning Qing a few months ago. In my entire lifetime, I have seen through people very clearly. That girl is pure and innocent in character. She is kind. Maybe Shaoming is attracted to those qualities of hers.
“Zhilei, haven’t you suffered enough? Let it go. Let go of others, and also let go of yourself.”
The lights in the office shone down on her, and it made her look especially mesmerizing under the light.
A woman her age, she just received the tenderness of love. Her aura and behaviour now could be compared to someone in Ning Qing’s age bracket.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang out in the air. Jian Han’s phone started to ring.
She looked at the number calling her, and the corners of her lips curled up into a sweet smile.
“Hello, Dayuan…Yeah, I am done with work already. I am preparing to set off…You are already downstairs? Okay, I will be there in a moment…”
Jian Han hung up and put on a long cream-white windbreaker. She took her bag, opened the door, and walked out.
…
It was time to get off work now. When she walked along the corridor, she could not help but meet with many doctors and nurses. Everyone greeted her, “Doctor Jian…”
Jian Han nodded and greeted them back.
There were a few nurses who could not help but turn around to look at Jian Han’s back profile. The windbreaker ended above her kneecaps. She had the intention to cover it up, and they could not see the green dress she was wearing underneath, but her long legs that resembled a young model’s on the catwalk had long attracted everyone’s gazes.
“Wow, Doctor Jian is normally dressed in a white coat. I couldn’t even tell that Doctor Jian is so voluptuous. Tsk tsk, her legs are so beautiful, and the moment anyone looks at them, they would want to touch them…”
“Did you notice that Doctor Jian has been in a good mood recently? I noticed that she was smiling towards her phone a few times… Furthermore, Doctor Jian is getting more and more pretty, just as if she’s moisturized by the seasonal rains…”
“I guess that Doctor Jian must have a man… Let me tell you all secretly, one of my male best friends said that a woman with a cold and pure personality like Doctor Jian, she is the most exciting in bed….”
Jian Han could not hear the conversation between them. She walked into the elevator, and when she passed by the hall of the treatment building, she noticed a group of people in the middle of an argument.
It was probably the family member of a patient who was unsatisfied with the service attitude of the doctor. He rushed forward and wanted to give the doctor a pinch, and everyone was trying to stop him from doing so.
This situation also made Jian Han stop in her tracks. The scene was chaotic, and the patient who was the subject of it all tried to persuade him otherwise, but it was of no use, and he was pushed aside instead.
Jian Han quickly bent down to support the patient who was on the brink of falling to the ground. With care, she asked, “Uncle, are you fine?”
The Grandpa cupped his chest with his right hand. His breathing suddenly accelerated. “…I feel horrible…”
Jian Han noticed that the patient’s irises were not in focus. His symptoms were not looking good, and she raised her volume immediately as she said, “All of you, stop fighting. The patient is having difficulty breathing. If we continue to delay and don’t save him, he will go into shock…”
The patient’s family member heard her words and let go of the doctor immediately. “Father, Father, what is wrong?” As he spoke, the family member pointed at Jian Han with his hand. He was glaring at her angrily, as if he had lost his senses completely. “My father was all fine just now. When you helped him for a moment, he was unable to breathe. What did you do to my father?”
Jian Han, “I…”
“I understand what is going on. Your hospital is out to scam others. If my dad ends up with any injury, I will die together with all of you. ” As he spoke, the patient’s family member snatched a wooden stick that was placed on the side of the wall, he lifted his hand up and started to swing it in the direction of Jian Han’s head.
Jian Han’s pupils contracted. She was already unable to stop it. She could only turn sideways to protect the patient beside her, and she shut her eyes to wait for the pain.
But she did not feel any pain. The wooden stick did not land on her.
A gentle voice rang out in her ears. “Trying to create chaos in the hospital, I think you want to go to prison.”
Jian Han was delighted inside her heart. She opened her eyes quickly and turned her head sideways to have a look. When she lowered her gaze, the first thing that came into her line of sight was a pair of dark coloured pants. As she followed the neatly pressed lines on the pants to look upwards, she saw a dark blue shirt and a refined and handsome face; Zhou Dayuan was here.
He stretched his right hand to block that wooden stick, protecting her and preventing her from getting hurt.
The patient’s family member looked at this intruder and froze for a moment. This man looked pure and refined, but there was a clear and crisp scent on his body that was just like disinfectant. He did not get angry, but the cold expression on his face alone was able to make the patient’s family member cower in fear.
