Bai Zhi nodded in acknowledgment of her colleague's kind reminder. She tidied up her white coat, put on her mask, and walked into the director's office.
"Dr. Bai Zhi, you're finally here. The patient's family has been patiently waiting for you for a while."
The Director immediately stood up when he saw Bai Zhi. The patient's family members were tough to talk to. He was already old and had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen anyone be so condescending toward doctors.
The look of disdain that the patient's family member gave the Director made him feel as though he was the plague. Now that the Director saw Bai Zhi, he felt as though his guardian angel had arrived, so he quickly invited Bai Zhi in.
If it weren't for the patient's background and the people supporting them, the Director would not be interested in helping them.
When Bai Zhi turned to look at the person across from her, Bai Zhi's usually indifferent expression suddenly changed. This was considered a drastic change in her expression five years later. From that night onward, other than when she was with her children, Bai Zhi's expression had not changed at all.
"Director, is this the fine doctor you mentioned?"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman also stood up. She was tall and had exquisite makeup on her face. She had a mischievous expression on her face when she looked at people. She also had a high and mighty temperament as she constantly looked down on people.
It was Tong Jingxian. She had a completely different temperament in front of Jiang Chen. However, this was something that Bai Zhi already knew.
'So the patient I am going to be treating is her? Or is it someone related to her?'
Bai Zhi's eyes turned cold. Even though she was wearing a mask, the director could feel Dr. Bai Zhi's sudden change in demeanor.
Su Zhi'en and Jiang Chen had indeed been in an arranged marriage back then. Strictly speaking, it was a marriage alliance. After they were born, the parents of both parties had arranged a marriage between their children. At that time, Su Zhi'en really didn't take the marriage seriously, even though she liked Jiang Chen.
Su Zhi'en didn't have to marry him. However, something happened to Su Zhi'en's family later on. Her family was destroyed, and she was alone. Old Master Jiang didn't abandon her as the others did. Instead, he brought Su Zhi'en back and attempted to clean up the Su family. He even allowed Su Zhi'en to marry into the Jiang family and legally move in, giving her a home.
At that time, Su Zhi'en was lying when she said that she wasn't moved. Her feelings for Jiang Chen had also changed. However, she didn't expect that later on…
Su Zhi'en took a deep breath and pulled herself back from her memories. "I'm sorry. I just remembered that something was wrong. I made the wrong plans."
"What do you mean?" The hospital director's mind was confused.
"What I mean is that I can't treat her illness. Let's get another doctor to handle this situation." Su Zhi'en blurted this sentence and turned around to leave. The hospital director was stunned. He became even more confused.
When Tong Jingxian heard this, her expression changed immediately. She had raised her ambition in the past few years. Jiang Chen had also supported her during that time. When had she ever suffered such grievance?
"I rushed over when I received the call. You dare to turn your back on me?! Do you know who I am?" Tong Jingxian's words were full of warning.
However, Su Zhi'en ignored her. She pushed the door open and left.
"What is with her rotten attitude? Who does she think she is? Does she think highly of herself? Why doesn't she want to acknowledge me?!" Tong Jingxian was so angry that she stomped her feet.
"No, Madam Jiang, please don't be angry. I'll look for her now. We will treat Master Jiang Tomorrow." The Director simply comforted her and proceeded to turn around to look for Su Zhi'en.
Madam Jiang? So Su Zhi'en was supposed to be treating Jiang Chen? So, they were alive and well after all. It was such a pity.
Su Zhi'en left quickly. She did not even change out of her white coat. She sat in the car, her hands shaking as she held the steering wheel.
'What's wrong with me?'
It had been five years, but she had never taken the initiative to think of them. She thought that she had forgotten about them, but it turned out that she had not.
To say that she had forgotten about them was just a lie. How could she live with hatred day in and day out? It was just that she wanted to kill that woman just now and then finish the job by executing Jiang Chen with a thousand cuts.
'Jiang Chen, why are you still alive? How could a person who would rather step on the bones of his child be worthy of living? Jiang Chen clearly knew that I was about to give birth. At that time, he had provoked me because he wanted me to die along with the children in my womb.'
Jiang Chen's words rang in Su Zhi'en's ears once again like a curse.
Su Zhi'en had changed her name to start a new life, but that woman's appearance made her return to the hatred-filled Su Zhi'en in the past— Bai Zhi was like a dream to her.
It took a long time for Su Zhi'en to calm down before driving home. When she got home, the children were already asleep. When she saw her children, Su Zhi'en's hostility immediately vanished.
"Is Mommy back?" Bai Yu'an muttered as he was half asleep.'
Su Zhi'en lowered her head and kissed the two children gently. "Yes, Mommy is home."
Bai Yu'an seemed to have gotten an answer as he was half asleep and continued to sleep even more peacefully. Su Zhi'en looked at the two children and fell silent again. She got up and went to the study room to make a call.
"Wanling, do me a favor. Go to the hospital tomorrow and—"
Su Zhi'en booked three tickets to Country H while contacting her good friend Ba Wanling.
