Qin Fei stuck out his tongue, a sly smile creeping across his face.
It seemed that Su Yu still had feelings for him.
Su Yu lay in bed, preparing for an afternoon nap, but no matter how much she tossed and turned, she just couldn't fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, Qin Fei's face appeared before her.
Despite all her grievances with him, the thought of Qin Fei getting together with Li Shilan was something she could not bear.
After getting out of bed, Su Yu said nothing. Grabbing her car keys, she was about to head out.
"I'll accompany you," Qin Fei suddenly stood up and said.
Su Yu frowned, her expression slightly displeased. "Stay at home, don't go anywhere."
"I saw you didn't rest well, I'm worried it's unsafe for you to drive alone," Qin Fei casually replied.
Without waiting for Su Yu to protest, he headed for the door.
Fuming with frustration, Su Yu stomped her foot. She didn't understand why, ever since they encountered the dragon's corpse, Qin Fei seemed like a completely different person.
Qin Fei drove her to the hospital.
As soon as he parked the car in front of the hospital, a mocking voice rang out, "Oh, Su Yu, how rare, you're actually willing to bring your precious husband out?"
Turning around, they saw a well-dressed woman standing with a tall, handsome man in front of a BMW.
The woman was Su Yu's colleague, Wang Yan, and standing beside her was her boyfriend, He Yong.
Su Yu's face immediately changed upon seeing Wang Yan, and she coldly snorted, "None of your business."
"Miss Su, I've heard that your husband is extraordinary, and today, he's certainly impressive," He Yong said as he walked over, extending his hand with a faint smile.
Qin Fei, unbothered, shook his hand.
The moment their hands touched, Qin Fei felt a surge of pressure. It was clear that He Yong was trying to assert dominance.
Wang Yan and Su Yu had never gotten along, and He Yong, as her boyfriend, naturally wanted to stand up for her.
The two hands remained clasped for an unusually long time. Su Yu immediately realized He Yong had bad intentions.
"What are you doing? Let go of my hand!" Su Yu grabbed He Yong's wrist, her face darkening.
He Yong smiled faintly, "I'm just greeting Mr. Qin, why are you so tense?"
"That's someone's treasure, don't break it," Wang Yan chimed in with a smirk.
At that moment, He Yong's expression changed abruptly. A sharp pain shot through his hand, as though it were gripped by an iron clamp.
"You—" He Yong's face contorted as he tried to pull his hand away but found it firmly held by Qin Fei, unable to move.
"Let go, now!" He Yong's forehead broke into a cold sweat, his face twisting in pain.
Wang Yan quickly stepped forward, shouting, "You good-for-nothing, let go of my boyfriend!"
"I'm just greeting Mr. He, why are you so uptight?" Qin Fei threw Wang Yan's words back at her.
"You—!" Wang Yan fumed, but was speechless, her face reddened with rage.
Qin Fei snorted lightly, releasing He Yong's hand. Then he turned to Su Yu and smiled, "Let's go to work."
Su Yu stared at him, bewildered, as if she couldn't believe what she had just witnessed.
He Yong came from a prestigious family, trained in martial arts since childhood, while Qin Fei, on the other hand, spent his days at home, washing dishes and cooking, with no real strength to speak of. Yet now...
He Yong glared at Qin Fei's back, gritting his teeth in anger.
Su Yu worked at a private clinic, a place established for the purpose of making money. Many doctors there would build personal connections to attract wealthy clients.
Not long after they entered, a man in a suit walked in, holding a gilded banner with the words: "Masterful Medical Skills, Hua Tuo Reincarnate; Saving Lives, White-robed Saint."
"Mr. Sun, what brings you here?" The hospital director rushed to greet the man.
This man, Sun Huadong, was the head of East China Trading Company, a man of considerable wealth and status, recently having formed a partnership with the Li family.
Sun Huadong smiled, "I'm here to thank Dr. Wang. If it weren't for her miraculous medical skills, I might have already passed away."
"Mr. Sun, you're too kind. Saving lives is our duty," Wang Yan replied with a faint smile.
He Yong stepped forward, grinning, "Uncle Sun, no need to be polite, this is all thanks to Yan Yan."
Everyone immediately understood that this was clearly a favor from He Yong, arranged to boost Wang Yan's image.
"Really envious of Wang Yan for having such a great boyfriend."
"Yeah, I heard the clinic is going to promote a supervisor soon. Looks like it's going to be Wang Yan."
"Unlike some people, who do nothing but eat soft rice."
Upon hearing these comments, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel more triumphant. She cast a smug glance at Su Yu, almost as if flaunting it.
"Director, please continue to take care of Dr. Wang," Sun Huadong said, patting the director's hand with a smile.
The director quickly replied, "Don't worry, Dr. Wang is a rare talent at our clinic, and we will provide her with the best resources."
"Thank you," Sun Huadong nodded.
Then he turned to Wang Yan and smiled, "Miss Wang, please prescribe me some medicine. I've been feeling some back pain recently."
"Of course, Mr. Sun, please follow me," Wang Yan said, leading Sun Huadong to the pharmacy.
The director, seeing Sun Huadong's visit was clearly due to He Yong's influence, quickly moved a chair for He Yong and poured him a glass of water.
Meanwhile, Qin Fei was completely ignored.
"Mr. He, please continue to support our little clinic," the director said with a flattering smile.
He Yong nodded slightly, saying, "I don't lack money. My girlfriend works here just to pass the time, but I don't want her to be mistreated. I don't want anyone bullying her."
This was clearly a remark directed at Su Yu. Her expression shifted slightly as she took a deep breath, ready to stand up.
But Qin Fei held her hand, shaking his head.
"What are you going to do?" Qin Fei asked with a smile.
Su Yu, with a cold expression, said, "Resign."
"Why resign?" Qin Fei asked.
"Why? It's obvious Wang Yan is going to be the supervisor. If she gets promoted, how am I supposed to live?" Su Yu said angrily.
How could Qin Fei not understand something so simple?
Rather than staying here and enduring humiliation, it would be better to quit and look for another way to live.
"I'll say a few words here," the director suddenly clapped his hands. "I hope everyone will learn from Wang Yan and work to benefit the clinic, instead of being arrogant like some people."
After saying this, he shot Su Yu a fierce look, then glanced at Qin Fei.
Su Yu couldn't take it anymore. She stood up without a word.
"I'm quitting!" she said, as she took off her work clothes.
"Perfect timing," the director sneered. "This little clinic can't accommodate a Buddha like you."
Just then, Wang Yan walked out from the pharmacy.
Hearing this, she feigned concern and said, "Su Yu, don't be impulsive. If you quit, how will you support your precious husband?"
At these words, the clinic burst into laughter.
Even the director couldn't help but join in.
Everyone knew Su Yu's husband was a good-for-nothing. Now standing next to He Yong, the contrast was stark.
"Qin Fei, you better talk some sense into your wife, or you two will really be left to drink the northwest wind!" someone joked.
Qin Fei didn't seem to care. Holding Su Yu's hand, he smiled, "Don't quit. Don't you want to be the supervisor?"
"The supervisor?" the director burst into loud laughter. "Your useless husband really is living in a fantasy world!"
Su Yu's face grew darker with these words. She glared at Qin Fei, scolding, "Shut up! Can you not talk?"
He Yong sneered, "Some people are just good-for-nothings, eating soft rice and still coming out to embarrass themselves. Pathetic."
At that moment, a sleek S600 pulled up outside, and a young man helped an elderly man walk in.
As soon as they entered, they saw Su Yu. With great respect, the young man said, "Miss Su, sorry I'm late, there was a bit of a situation at the company."
