Chapter 39 - 39 38 Shu Jingli
?39: Chapter 38: Shu Jingli 39: Chapter 38: Shu Jingli Tang Xi gritted her teeth, “Fu Tingzhou!”
At this moment, the woman’s lips were crimson, and her eyes were also brimming with tears, looking bullied yet defiantly stubborn.
Her pupils, however, were so clear that they seemed to drown one in their depths.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Fu Tingzhou’s eyes darkened, he lowered his head, drew close to her, their cheeks merely half a centimeter apart, his voice hoarse and low at her ear, “When you climbed into my bed, you knew I was no gentleman.
You meticulously maneuvered close to my mother, all to marry me and become Mrs.
Fu.
Now, we are not yet divorced.
If I see you seducing other men again, I have many ways to deal with you.”
Tang Xi’s heart thumped like thunder.
In the air, a strange yet somewhat ambiguous atmosphere lingered.
Tang Xi, with eyes red and soft, looked at him.
His hand was like iron; she struggled in vain, was he seeking her response?
Tang Xi felt somewhat amused by anger.
He clearly did not like her, clearly liked Su Mengshu, yet now, he was warning her against getting close to other men…
“I have nothing to do with Xiao Chi.”
In his dark pupils, it seemed a fire was burning, his voice lowered, “How do I know whether it was you who initiated things with him.”
Tang Xi’s face turned pale; so in his eyes, this was the kind of person she was.
Footsteps came from outside again, followed by the sound of a door handle turning.
“How come it’s locked.”
Tang Xi, hearing the sound of the door handle turning, bit her teeth and pushed Fu Tingzhou, but the man did not move, his dark eyes intensely watching her.
She said, “Mr.
Fu, rest assured, I’m not into Cheng Yunlang’s type.”
“Then what type do you like?” Seeing Tang Xi didn’t answer, the man asked again, “Like Xiao Chi?”
“Even if so, whatever I have with Xiao Chi has nothing to do with you.” She looked at him, boldly meeting his eyes, not stepping back at all.
Originally, she wanted to explain things properly to him, but she realized, she and him, can’t even manage a few calm words.
Outside, the sound of keys jingling came.
It must be someone trying to enter and finding the door locked, getting a spare key.
This is the second consultation room of the inpatient department, the abrasive sound of keys near her ear irritated her nerves, but Tang Xi still did not step back, staring at Fu Tingzhou, as if silently saying, being discovered here by someone, wouldn’t really harm her, and for Fu Tingzhou…
it seemed not either.
It’s just more gossip for after-dinner conversation.
As the door of the consultation room was opened from outside, Fu Tingzhou turned around, he walked to the door, just as someone pushed it open from outside.
Sister Sun looked at him, “Ah, someone’s here.”
Sister Sun walked in and saw Tang Xi, “Little Tang you are also here…
just now, who was that…
looks somewhat familiar, you and him…”
Tang Xi glanced down at her lips and said, “That’s a patient’s family member, his kidneys are failing, he didn’t want to book a specialist appointment, wanted me to check his lab results for free…”
Sister Sun looked at Fu Tingzhou’s retreating back; the man had just stepped out, upon hearing this, he paused in his steps, his eyes sidelong towards Tang Xi, a warning evident in his gaze.
Tang Xi spread her hands, curling up her lips, “No need to walk you out, if you have any more questions you can make an appointment at my clinic.”
Sister Sun also kindly said, “Yes, kidney problems are serious, young man you are still quite young, you should get it treated well, this afternoon is Director Zhang’s specialist appointment, you could try that…”
Tang Xi shrugged her shoulders towards him, seeing the beaten look in his eyes, she felt a breath of relief in her heart.
There was a deeply satisfying sense of revenge.
She held Sister Sun’s hand, “Sister Sun, what are you looking for?”
“I lost my keys, there’s a problem at home and I need to go back.
I looked everywhere, and I think I left them here this morning when I was talking with two patients about their conditions.”
“Let me help you.” Tang Xi bent down and saw a string of keys on the floor, with Mickey Mouse pendants attached to them, “Is this it?”
“That’s it.”
That afternoon, Tang Xi learned that Fu Tingzhou had visited a prestigious elder this morning who was prepared for surgery starting from two in the afternoon.
As Zhang Tinghua’s second assistant, with Cheng Yunlang being the first.
In the operating room, besides Zhang Tinghua, Dean Qi, Director Xu from the neurology department, and others were all present.
It was evident that this elder held a distinguished status.
Tang Xi didn’t ask more, as she wasn’t a very curious person.
For someone like Fu Tingzhou to visit, surely it was a prominent elder of high standing in North City.
Tang Xi observed the entire process, assisting Zhang Tinghua.
She and Cheng Yunlang also coordinated well together.
Until six hours later, when Zhang Tinghua put down the scalpel and took a deep breath, Tang Xi was responsible for the suturing.
The surgery concluded, Tang Xi’s back was covered in cold sweat.
Walking out of the operating room, she was washing her hands, chatting idly with a female doctor from neurology, only then did she learn that this elder was the well-known Commander Shu from North City’s military family.
No wonder this surgery was given such high importance by the hospital.
Tonight Tang Xi had a night shift, and Zhang Tinghua did not rest either.
Zhang Tinghua seldom handled the night shifts here, but because the elder had unstable conditions after this afternoon’s surgery, he instructed Tang Xi to call him immediately if anything happened at night.
After eating dinner, Nurse Xu Shuang brought Tang Xi a cup of milk tea.
A female nurse said, “From the afternoon until now, a dozen or so people have been coming in succession to visit old Mr.
Shu, and their presence…
all were kept outside.”
Xu Shuang said, “That’s old Master Shu, you don’t know, the Shu Family’s position in North City.”
Tang Xi seldom engaged in such gossip, but she also knew of the Shu family, enormously powerful, a word from old Master Shu could shake North City.
No wonder, before the surgery, Fu Tingzhou visited him.
And there were rumors that the Shu and Fu families had marital ties.
Suddenly, at this moment, the emergency bell rang, it was from room 202 of old Mr.
Shu.
Tang Xi immediately instructed a nurse to find Zhang Tinghua, and then hurried to the room with Xu Shuang.
Upon opening the room, they saw the family’s panicked expressions.
Tang Xi walked over, quickly yet calmly checked old Mr.
Shu, “Sir, can you hear me?
If you can, blink your eyes.”
The old man blinked his eyes.
Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, she told the family, “He is awake now, his condition is still manageable, don’t worry.
Keep a close eye on him tonight.”
“Thank you.”
The nurse was changing Mr.
Shu’s dressing, Tang Xi was about to leave, when suddenly, old Mr.
Shu tightly grabbed Tang Xi’s hand, his voice hoarse, “…
Jing…
Li”
“Grandpa, you’ve mistaken her, she is not your niece.”
In the room, a young man came over and took old Mr.
Shu’s hand, but old Mr.
Shu held on even tighter, continuously calling out, “Jingli.”
