Chen RuoYu blushed and realized she made a mistake in her speech.***? She actually meant to say... Little brother? Small brother? Younger brother?...
Her face became redder, so much redder and felt blood was about to drip.
Why did she have to make an embarrassing remarks about that part of male anatomy? How's female dignity related to that? Vulgar, ah... so vulgar! She really has a brain damage and felt so regretful.
It was his fault. He had mentioned a comparison between a man's dignity and a woman's body that had caused her to do a similar comparison.
Stinky rogue.., he had misled her! She's a civilized person and she'll definitely not say such vulgar words.
Chen RuoYu picked up the hot water flask, squeezed past Meng Gu and hurried out.
"Hey.., our conversation's not finished yet What other fresh metaphors and similarity do you have? Tell me!" Meng Gu laughed loudly behind her.
Laugh? Laugh all you want? What's there to laugh at?
She slipped away as quickly as possible as if her feets were oiled. She wanted to get far away from him... far, far away....
But in life, sometimes the things you're afraid of, are things that will automatically come to you. Not only that Chen RuoYu was unable to stay far away from him, she was also admitted to the hospital and her attending doctor was coincidently called 'Meng Gu'.
The matter happened like this.. Chen RuoYu's customer who brought insurance from her was involved in a car accident. By right, he would've received a fair compensation but there's an issued regarding the nature of the accident. Responsibility for the accident was not clearly defined and the compensation paid was very much lower than anticipated.
The policyholder was a single parent and Chen RuoYu felt her customer trusted her and brought the insurance from her. Since, there's a problem now, it was only right for to her to step out and help him. So she ran around, looking for the party involved, traffic police and all the relevant departments.
Since these were not an easy tasks too, she've go through various processes and established relationships to get all these informations because the reports made by both parties concerned were not consistent. There were no surveillance cameras installed at accident's place and the traffic police were uncertain about the full details of the report. After running around for more than half-a-month, she finally get to focus on the main culprit involved. But the man had fervently denied it all and insisted it was Chen RuoYu's client who had violated the traffic regulation and hit him.
Chen RuoYu was badly hurt in the process of getting the truth. During that time, she almost broke her legs running around, trying to get the people to voice out the truths.
And coincidently, during those busy days, her mother called her every single day to inquire about her job and the friends she have.
"RuoYu, I heard from your uncle that big companies give yearly increments and since your company's a big company, does they do the same? You've worked for more than a year, did you get an increment and promotion too? And also, our next door neighbour, Ah Yan's daughter who didn't obtained good education, was recently promoted to manager level after working for two years in her company. I told them, you're also a manager for a trading company. A big company, a business manager.. right?"
Chen RuoYu sighed in her heart. How's she going to tell her parents? These worldly pursuits... out of ten office workers, five are managers. The other three of the five claimed to be managers and the remaining two wanted to be manager. The title of manager's really worthless.
On the surface, many people look good and well-off but in reality, without others knowing.. they stay in rented room and eat instant noodles, she's one of them. But she's afraid to tell her parents... afraid of being annoyed to death. If she's not bothered by her parents, she would be bothered by her closed relatives and distance relatives. And those closed relatives would inadvertently bring along the other relatives to gossiped too.
So, she lied again. She's not an insurance salesperson and a white-collar worker working in a trading firm.
This kind of thing made Chen RuoYu's mood extremely bad. She hung up on her mother's call and sadly squatted outside the house the other party involved with her client's accident.
She felt angry with herself. Liar! What's the use of this kind of life? She was also angry with the other party who didn't want to take responsible for the car accident. He did not tell the truth and at that same time, hurting other people and making them lose money. Does he have any conscience at all?
Maybe it was the big sun that had blurred Chen RuoYu's mind or maybe it because of her mother's phone calls that provoked her action. Anyway, Chen RuoYu had originally planned to talk nicely to the other party and then secretly recorded their conversations as evidence. But things didn't go her way and the conversations recorded were severely scolding her by the other party.
The other party, group of two big friends, were not civilized people so Chen RuoYu was shoved and jostled by them. After being scolded, they became angrier and aggressive and in the midst of her emotional outburst and due to her own carelessness, the recorder fell out of her pocket during the scuffle. She was caught red-handed and the situation became even more unruly. It turned into a real fight as the other party tried to grab her recorder and she wanted to protect it. So she, a woman fought two big men and was beaten up.
Chen RuoYu's last impression was she held onto the MP3 recorder so tightly in her hand on her chest. She fell to the ground and crouched down like a dried shrimp protecting the recorder. The men pulled her arm and kicked her belly and she felt the extreme pains. Some passerby shouted in the distance.. "Hey! What're you doing? Stop! I've called the police!".
She was in a dazed and feeling very scared. She had never been beaten like this before. She felt like crying but didn't seem to do so. She heard the police sirens, she heard someone say to send her to the hospital and then when she finally woke up, she found herself in the hospital.
She was pushed into the emergency room for examination, dressings, injections and sewing up her wounds. After being handled for a long times, she finally fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself actually in the hospital ward.
The police, her colleagues and even her insurance client also came visiting. After the incident, the insurance compensation process seems to be heading towards the direction that she was hoping for. With the recorder that had their conversations recorded, the two men who had assaulted her were also detained by the police. In order to protect himself, the other party had harmoniously accepted his responsibility for the car accident. He had also agreed to pay Chen RuoYu's hospital expenses and other related expenditures.
After these matters, she got to know the fellow patients staying in the ward. According to one of the fellow patient, she talked about Chen RuoYu, who first admitted into the hospital was quite serious and she had high fever. They chit-chat nonsense throughout the night. Chen RuoYu felt embarrassed as she have been very noisy, disturbing the other patients to the extent of depriving them of sleep.
One of the fellow patient waved her hand and said, "It's alright.., it's alright.. It's normal in the hospital. How can it be the same at home? But then, you must be acquainted with the doctor because after staying few days here in this hospital, I only see the doctor when he comes on his daily rounds. But when you admitted last night, he was always around and would come in to check on you from time to time."
"Ah.., it could be because I had a high fever and in serious condition. Since, I had no particular nurse to look after me, maybe the doctor on duty was afraid something might happen to me." Chen RuoYu felt dizzy and touched her head. What actually happened last night, she really have no impression on it. She only vaguely remembered she had held onto someone's hand and said a lots.
"Yes, you really had a high fever. I heard it was 39 degrees and the nurse also gave you two injections.
Chen RuoYu shook her head and said.. "I absolutely don't have any impression on this."
"You also called the doctor's name and said a lots of things."
It's really disgraceful. Chen RuoYu sighed. But then a patient who had a high fever's similar to a patient who has mental illness. Being a doctor, he should have a lots of experiences on this matters and shouldn't mind at all.
"You know the doctor, right?" The fellow patient was still talking about this matter.. "The curtains were drawn and I could not hear clearly but I heard you, kept calling him Dr. Meng."
What??? Had she insulted the doctor again? She opened her mouth and flabbergasted.. "The doctor was not angry, was he?"
"I don't think so. I didn't see his expression but I heard him keep talking to you. You said.. Dr Meng... something, something... and that Dr Meng also replied you."
She was stunned and her mouth opened wider.. "I called him Dr Meng."
She's done for now! She wondered which doctor's hand did she hold when she's talking nonsense. What had she said? It was embarrassing that she had treated another doctor as Meng Gu. What had she actually said?
Chen RuoYu nicely asked and the fellow patient shook her head. "I couldn't hear clearly what you've said. I was also dazzling a little and half awake at that time. You can asked Dr Meng, he's coming on his rounds today.".
"Yes, Dr Meng Gu."
A bolt from the blue! This time, Chen RuoYu's mouth opened more wider even a duck's egg can be inserted. "Did I really talked to Dr Meng Gu and held his hand last night?" She asked.
"Yes.. you were talking nonsense endlessly and it took me a great deal of effort to understand what you're saying." The person who answered was standing at the ward's door.
Chen RuoYu abruptly turned her head around and met Meng Gu's eyes. The big white coat on him absolutely made him look very handsome.
Chen RuoYu wanted to pretend to faint at that moment but the hardness of a woman's dignity made her maintain a strong face's expression. She's not guilty and is very relaxed.
Meng Gu came in with two junior doctors to conduct the routine checks. She closed her eyes when she finally realized the situation she was in.
She felt embarrassed. She was assaulted, admitted into the hospital, the ward's very good, the doctor-in-charge is very handsome and his name's 'Meng Gu'.
She bits her lip. Who would really understand this feeling of wanting to die? She was clearly determined to break off all connections with him but why did they always meet under such embarrassing circumstances?
Her fragile self-esteem is like a man's... that something... like being suddenly kicked..... No, no..... she's a civilized person. She cannot be like him..... say vulgar words and metaphors.
She's civilized person.
Chen RuoYu blushed, opened her eyes and looked at Meng Gu. He was explaining to the patient on the adjacent bed, the way to consume medicines. He turned around to see her watching at him and he gave her a slight smile.
She turned her head away and reminded herself that she's a civilized person, at the same times she really wanted to give him two kicks.
