"I know." Su Ye looked at Yan Lan's childish features, yet couldn't help but smile, "Are you adapting well at the company?"
After graduating this year, Yan Lan started working at Su's.
She was capable and adapted quite well.
Hearing Su Ye's question, she blinked and her smile was pure.
"The plan I submitted last week was approved, don't worry, Sister Yeye. I'm now capable of taking care of Brother, and you just take good care of yourself."
"Okay."
Su Ye smiled.
She didn't stay long in the ward, instead she went to the cashier to pay for the past few months' hospitalization and recuperation fees.
She had just taken two steps when she heard a woman's sweet voice rise, tinged with a hint of coquettishness.
"Sisi said that Doctor Shen left early today and missed him. It seems I need to make another appointment for a follow-up check. If I become a cripple, you can't despise me."
She turned her head and saw the man who had been entwined in a passionate kiss with her on the golf course, now supporting Su Qingwan with a slightly furrowed brow, correcting her absent-mindedly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Su Qingwan stuck out her tongue, leaning heavily on Gu Yan.
From her angle, it looked like a passionate kiss.
Su Ye's heart felt as if it had been pricked but soon after, it was as if nothing had happened.
For the first time, she felt a bit nauseated.
She withdrew her gaze, turning away from the glaring scene.
A dull ache came from her wrist; she remembered that she had been accidentally injured today by Gu Yan, that despicable man.
She was thinking of getting some medicine when she suddenly remembered that Shen Qifeng was also in this hospital.
She decided to try her luck.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qifeng was indeed there.
After inquiring about Shen Qifeng's office location, she was about to push the door open when a woman's shrill voice came from inside.
"Shen Qifeng, do you even have a heart!"
The man's detached voice held no emotion, "This is an office, get out."
"You're really sick!"
The woman was crying, on the verge of collapse, "I gave up studying abroad for you, yet you won't even spare me a glance. What did I do wrong?"
Accompanied by her nearly hysterical words, a pretty face brushed past Su Ye.
Su Ye clicked her tongue. She pushed the door open, sat down, and blinked, "Ex-girlfriend?"
"Mhm."
He responded faintly, a clean and swift reply with no trace of sentimentality.
Su Ye was somewhat surprised.
She had never heard about Shen Qifeng having an ex before.
"What's up?"
Shen Qifeng looked up at her.
Su Ye took off her clothes, exposing the scrapes on her wrist and scapular area to him.
Shen Qifeng quickly prescribed her some medicine, then spoke blandly, "Let me see your pinky finger."
Su Ye hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out her pinky finger.
After he examined it, he said, "This needs further examination."
He frowned, glanced at her, and asked, "How did this injury happen?"
Su Ye retracted her pinky, downplaying, "It was crushed."
Shen Qifeng paused momentarily.
Su Ye, however, smiled at him and blinked, "Doctor Shen, I didn't come here specifically to seek treatment from you."
...
Su Qingwan got home before she did.
When she arrived home, Su Qingwan was sorting out the gifts Gu Yan had given her.
"Over the years, Young Master Gu has been decent to you, though he never confirmed your status. Now, it seems a good thing is nearing."
Su He's voice was filled with satisfaction.
As she entered the living room, Wen Rumin's gaze flickered, smiling, "Once Qingwan is settled, and Yeye is with President Qin, our Su Family might finally become hot property."
A full-on calculation, played with enough savvy.
Su Ye didn't join the conversation, merely stating, "Dad, the company just called, there's a new investor, I'm going back to check the documents."
Su He, who only cared about benefits and knew she and Su Qingwan didn't get along, gave a light reminder.
"Go ahead. President Qin said you haven't replied to his messages these past few days. Don't be too capricious, and don't forget what I've taught you. The banquet is tomorrow, you should prepare as well."
Su Qingwan clutched the corner of her clothes and smiled, "Fine."
After leaving the living room, she walked past the garden, about to go upstairs, but Su Qingwan followed her.
Her demeanor changed from the sweet tenderness at the hospital. She stood with her lips upturned, looking at Su Ye with a smirking gaze.
"You were at the hospital, weren't you? You saw me and Ah Yan together, right? If all goes well, I will soon be Madam Su. But you're not bad either; after all, you're the future Lady Qin, aren't you?"
"You were at the hospital for Yan Ming, weren't you? After all these years, he still hasn't died, what a pity."
Back in college, Yan Ming was particularly indulgent towards Su Ye, that wretched woman.
Now one is about to become the enviable Lady Qin, while the other lies on a hospital bed, their fate hanging by a thread.
Su Ye looked at Su Qingwan, her expression cold.
As Su Qingwan curled her lip corners in smug satisfaction, Su Ye lifted her hand and slapped her across the face.
"You're not even fit to mention his name!"
