Chapter 284: Chapter 285: Damn Chen Cang, if I don’t kill you, I won’t relieve the great hatred in my heart! (Added for Grid)

Chen Cang pondered for a long while but still felt it was best to leave first!

Just in case Geng Heidai showed up and he couldn’t explain himself.

What if she thought I was retaliating?

Claiming I failed to seduce her and wanted to go after her man?

With that guy’s logic, he could definitely make it sound plausible.

Thinking of this, Chen Cang patted his butt and stood up, “Well, Dr. Jing, I’ve got some family matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first. You wait here for Geng Yan.”

Jing Ran was taken aback for a moment, a bit saddened, “Well… Dr. Chen, sit down for a bit? You are my first friend since I returned to Anyang City, and also my first surgical collaboration partner. Let’s drink some more, and by the way, I’d like to introduce you to my wife, she’s really great.”

Chen Cang gave a cold laugh, she’s great alright… but it’s probably her combat skills that are great, right?

With that thought, Chen Cang smiled and said to the owner, “Boss, let’s have a few ‘Wuyang egg rolls’, ‘Niu Huanxi’, and, oh, ‘bull’s eyes’, locusts, mole crickets, bee pupae, grasshoppers, and scorpions—two skewers of each! Let’s give our capital-city PhD a taste of our Dongyang specialties, and make it extra pungent!”

After that, Chen Cang turned to Jing Ran and said, “Dr. Jing, these are all Dongyang specialties, you definitely haven’t tried them before, give them a shot. I’ve got some things to handle at home today and can’t stay with you any longer, but you and Geng Yan eat up, today’s on me!”

Having said that, Chen Cang took out 300 yuan and said to the owner, “Uncle Yang, here’s the money, keep the change.”

Uncle Yang chuckled, “Alright, Chen, feeling generous today, huh!”

The barbecue stand wasn’t far from the hospital, and Chen Cang often came here, but it was always Old Chen who brought him and footed the bill.

Chen Cang smiled, “I’m off then!”

…

Three minutes after Chen Cang left, a woman came running over in a rush.

Seeing Jing Ran, she immediately cursed in anger, “Nice one, Jing Ran, I wait for you at the emergency entrance all day, and here you are! Having a barbecue and drinking, don’t you have any conscience?”

As she spoke, Geng Yan, in a fit of rage, hurled the bread and milk in her hands straight at Jing Ran!

Jing Ran quickly got up and tried to soothe her, “I’m so sorry, honey, I was just worn out today. After over ten hours of surgery, I was completely exhausted and only wanted to find something to eat.”

Geng Yan stood there with her arms crossed, tilting her head to the side, still furious.

“Didn’t you know I was waiting for you? Couldn’t you have called me? Do you even care about me at all?”

Jing Ran hurriedly said, “I was wrong! I admit it, I’ll cook when we get home!”

Geng Yan, seeing Jing Ran’s hair all messy, sighed and helped him tidy up, feeling sympathetic.

She was genuinely angry, but she was also genuinely concerned.

Who, as a doctor, couldn’t understand their own personal affairs?

How could she not understand Jing Ran’s consecutive hours of life-saving work and the high-intensity surgeries?

But which girl doesn’t have her moments of pettiness?

I wait outside the OR for a day with goodies for you, yet you come out to have barbecue and drinks with a man?

Ignoring me, not caring about me, not even calling me!

Could Geng Heidai put up with that?

So, at that moment, Geng Yan was both heartbroken and angry.

Looking at Jing Ran’s somewhat haggard face, she scoffed, “I’m hungry too! I haven’t eaten all day either, worrying you’d come out hungry, I waited all day for you.”

Jing Ran looked at the girl with a tender gaze, such a sensible girl!

For his sake, she hadn’t gone on to pursue a PhD.

Her professor could have secured a PhD spot for her.

But Jing Ran’s family was pressing for a wedding, and he wasn’t getting any younger. After careful consideration, Geng Yan had given up on furthering her studies, went back to work, and prepared to marry and start a family, embarking on an ordinary yet extraordinary life.

Actually, Geng Yan had thought about a lot!

Chen Cang’s incident had altered her perspective on life and love profoundly. If it hadn’t been for Chen Cang, Geng Yan would have continued her doctoral studies.

But that’s how life is, every person you meet, every event you encounter, leaves its imprint on your life and future.

Just like Chen Cang said, people change.

After sitting down, she opened the Telunsu milk she held in her hand and handed it to Jing Ran, giving him a glare, “Drink what alcohol? Drink some milk.”

Jing Ran feared his wife, or it would be more accurate to say he cherished her.

With an air of showing off, Jing Ran said, “Let me tell you, this place is a specialty store. There are many special flavors here; let’s give them a try.”

Geng Yan nodded, feeling hungry herself. She picked up the skewer and started eating.

Suddenly, she remembered something, “Right, where’s Chen Cang?”

Jing Ran smiled, “He had some family matter and rushed back home. I was even saying that I would introduce you two!”

Geng Yan scoffed, “Need your introduction? We were university classmates, in the same class, and very close!”

As she spoke, Geng Yan finished off the barbecue bite by bite, “Eh? It actually tastes quite good!”

Jing Ran grinned, “Of course, I’ve eaten a lot already. Doctor Chen specially ordered a bunch of specialties for you, saying it’s delicious!”

Geng Yan smiled, seeing that he still had some conscience.

Jing Ran grew excited upon hearing Geng Yan say that she knew Chen Cang, “By the way, wife, what kind of person is Doctor Chen? I feel he’s very impressive!”

Geng Yan was also curious, “How impressive?”

Jing Ran’s expression changed, he spoke seriously, “Do you know who led the emergency today? It was Chen Cang. He supported the entire rescue team from the beginning to the end, performed the surgery from start to finish, and only because he was too exhausted by the end did I assist throughout!”

“Moreover, Chen Cang’s extrathoracic surgeries are extremely impressive. I feel he is even stronger than me when it comes to choosing the timing and location of the surgery… Truly skilled, and he also managed the entire operation’s rescue efforts, including coordinating transfusions, tests, and ventilation… He’s very capable.”

“During the surgery, it was as though I was seeing my mentor… ”

Jing Ran recounted everything about Chen Cang with feelings of admiration, adding even more respect!

“This is the first true expert I’ve met since coming to Dongyang!”

Geng Yan fell silent; she knew very well how outstanding Jing Ran was, a high-profile postdoc at Fuwai, with very high standards.

But to hear such high praise for Chen Cang!

Thinking of this, Geng Yan sighed!

“Back when he was in school, he was already excellent. As the class monitor, whether it was dealing with personal issues or coordinating class work, he handled everything in an orderly manner, and his grades were good. Throughout university, he only missed a scholarship once because he let it go to a classmate whose family had a crisis.”

“During his internship, he was also in the capital. The director took notice of him and wanted Chen Cang to pursue a postgraduate degree, but…”

After listening to Geng Yan, Jing Ran also sighed, “However, gold will eventually glitter!”

“But Doctor Chen is really nice; he ordered all this for you.”

Geng Yan’s face brightened with a smile, “What’s this? It really tastes good!”

Jing Ran had already inquired about everything and quickly began to explain, “This is sheep testicles, this is ‘cow happiness’, and these are grasshoppers, cicadas, bee pupae, locusts, scorpions…”

Geng Yan’s face changed!

She immediately felt nauseous, a rush of air surged up her throat, and she quickly turned around and crouched down, vomiting!

After vomiting for a while, Geng Yan clenched her teeth in anger, fists clenched, veins bulging!

The damn Chen Cang! If I don’t kill you, my great resentment won’t be appeased!

Chen Cang had just arrived at Yueyang Villa when suddenly he heard a system notification sound:

“Ding! Geng Yan’s favorability -2!”

“Ding! Geng Yan’s favorability!”

…

Chen Cang was taken aback, what have I done?

Alas…

PS: There will be five updates for now. Oh, and someone questioned the 50cm rebar, brother, do you think the rebar was cut precisely to the sternum? For safety, there has to be a certain distance from the body.
