Chapter 29 Joint Taunting

“Ding Rou, why are you saying all that? Would Dr. Shen care about these things? The Shen family is rich, and now she’s married to an even richer husband. ” Qi Jingwan covered her mouth and laughed.

Ding Rou pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth. “Really? I heard that Dr. Shen married the third son of the Xue family who has been autistic since he was young. Is that true? No way? Dr. Shen’s family isn’t short of money. Why did she agree to a marriage of convenience?”

“What do you know?” Qi Jingwan rebuked. How could an 18-year-old genius like Dr. Shen have been willing to marry a good-for-nothing? She didn’t even show up on the day of registration, so don’t poke at her scars.”

Ding Rou pretended to be shocked and covered her mouth. However, she still ran her mouth off. “It’s my fault for being so tactless and saying such words. But if it were me, I wouldn’t be willing either…”

The two of them continued to mock Shen Manting

Shen Manting smiled faintly and glanced at Ding Rou. “Stop smiling. You have such a big mouth that I can almost see past your throat. “Then, she said, “I’m 18 years old this year. I can’t say that I’m a genius, but my professional ability is undoubted. The two of you added together are almost three times my age, but you still can’t complete the surgery independently. If you have the time, you should read more books. Who knows, you might be able to improve your intelligence.” After that, Shen Manting walked away.

“Shen Manting, what are you so proud of?” Qi Jingwan wasn’t as calm as Ding Rou. She pointed at Shen Manting’s back and scolded her. In the end, she still couldn’t take it lying down. Back then, she had gotten into a medical university with near-perfect scores. Then, she became a surgeon. The hospital had given her preferential treatment, but everything changed since Shen Manting’s arrival! Shen Manting had stolen her spotlight and made her a laughing stock!

Shen Manting stopped in her tracks and turned around slightly. “You call this smug? Qi Jingwan, if I were your age and still couldn’t be the chief surgeon on my own, I’d be too embarrassed to continue working in the hospital.” “Don’t go too far!” Qi Jingwan bit her pale lips. Shen Manting had been poking at her sore spot. Who would have thought that she, who had had excellent grades, would be unable to complete the surgery on her own?

Shen Manting smiled and looked at Ding Rou. “Tsk, tsk. I just realized that you’ve been interning for two years, but you haven’t been promoted to a full-time employee. How did you manage to stay here for the past two

years?”

There were quite a few people around them. Some of them were discussing, “Yeah, Dr. Ding has been interning for two years. If she hasn’t become a full-time employee, it means that she’s falling short on skills. In this case, don’t you think she should go back to school and re-study?”

“No way. She’s not young anymore. But Dr. Shen is amazing. She started helped in the operating room as soon as she arrived, and now she’s the chief surgeon.”

“Not everyone has Dr. Shen’s talent. That’s why it’s unfair to make a comparison.”

“That’s not the right way to put it. You can’t compare Dr. Shen to them because they’re not on the same level.”

Ding Rou’s expression turned ugly. She glared at Shen Manting with a venomous look. “Is it fun to bully people like this?”

Shen Manting laughed and responded, “Then, is it fun for you to gossip about others? But, are you about to cry right now? You’re so strange… “

Shen Manting was serious in her profession, and she usually had a good temper. However, Qi Jingwan and Ding Rou were the opposite. Many people thus had a bad opinion of them.

Everyone continued, “That’s right. When the interning doctor Ding Rou mocks people behind their backs, she’s good at it. If she put her smarts to use at the operating table, she would have become a regular employee a long time ago. But Dr. Shen is right. Why is she crying? It’s not like she was wrongly accused.

Ding Rou was so choked that she couldn’t say anything. In the end, she covered her mouth and ran away. “I’m going to tell the director that you guys are such bullies!”.

At that moment, a white-haired old man walked over with a group of doctors in white coats. “What’s the commotion about?”

Shen Manting greeted the director respectfully.

The director nodded and glanced at Qi Jingwan and Ding Rou. “This is a hospital, a place to save lives and heal the injured. It’s not a place for you to gossip!”

Ding Rou pointed at Shen Manting and said, “Director, it’s her…”

“Don’t you think you’ve embarrassed yourself enough? What did Dr. Shen say wrong? If you spent your time studying medical cases instead of gossiping, you wouldn’t still be an interning doctor!”

Ding Rou wanted to punch Shen Manting when she heard the director’s words.

Although Qi Jingwan was the most impatient, she was relatively tactful. When she saw the director, her expression immediately changed, and she chuckled. “Director, we were just joking with Dr. Shen. Isn’t she married? We should celebrate the occasion. Dr. Shen, you wouldn’t be so petty, would

you?”
