Could it be that the female client that Qin Mucheng received in the afternoon was Lin Nan?
But why didnât Lin Nan tell her about this when he called her in the afternoon? Besides, why did Qin Mucheng hide it from her when he went home?
What were the two of them plotting that they didnât want him to know?
Recalling the contents of the phone call yesterday, Ji Yuanyuan understood everything.
She looked at Qin Mucheng in amusement, âIf you have anything to say, you can just ask me directly. Why do you have to go through Lin Nan? Isnât it troublesome?â
Qin Muchengâs expression softened when he heard that, âIâve asked you a few times. Every time, you said that there was no problem. You can solve it yourself. If youâre willing to tell me, why would I look for Lin Nan?â
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment. She then spoke with deliberation, âItâs not that I donât want to tell you. I just donât want to trouble you. I donât know if you can understand my feelings.â
Qin Mucheng did not quite understand Ji Yuanyuanâs feelings. After all, in his opinion, it was only right for husband and wife to help each other.
However, when he saw Ji Yuanyuanâs serious expression, he nodded his head against his will.
I have so many friends. They will more or less encounter trouble.â Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief. âI canât keep looking for you to solve it, right? My principles are very simple. I will help if I can handle it myself. If I canât handle it myself, then I can only say sorry.â
Qin Mucheng was someone who did big things. He did not have the obligation or time to help her deal with such trivial matters every day.
Although Qin Mucheng did not quite understand why Ji Yuanyuan treated him as an outsider, he knew that Ji Yuanyuan felt sorry for him.
He reached out and hugged Ji Yuanyuan tightly in his arms, âThen you have to promise me that you wonât think about the problem outside when you come home. You have to be happy every day. Otherwise, my heart will ache.â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Qin Mucheng on the cheek, âAlright, I promise you.â
Qin Mucheng carried Ji Yuanyuan in his arms and returned to the master bedroom.
On the small bed in the master bedroom, Tangtang was still in the same position as when they left. Her little face was red from sleep.
The two of them entering the door did not affect her at all.
The next morning, because it was the weekend, Ji Yuanyuan forgot to set the alarm clock, so she woke up a little late.
She went to school a little later than usual.
When she went over, Wu Qiuyun and Cao Xiaorui were already there.
âIâm sorry Iâm late.â Ji Yuanyuan said awkwardly.
âItâs okay. Itâs the weekend anyway.â Wu Qiuyun paused momentarily and said to Ji Yuanyuan, âI already contacted one of Zhou Huaâs students last night. Heâs one year younger than Cheng Lin. He studied with Cheng Lin for nearly two years. Heâs at Chunhe Hospital now. I have an appointment with him at noon. Do you want to go with me?â
âOf course, Iâll go with you.â Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
Cao Xiaorui saw this and quickly raised her hand, âThen Iâll look after things here.â
Thank you for your hard work.â Wu Qiuyun nodded in satisfaction.
B University was quite a distance away from Chunhe Hospital. Wu Qiuyun and Ji Yuanyuan had left at 11:10 am.
They arrived at the restaurantâs parking lot near Chunhe Hospital two minutes before 11:30 am.
It was only 11:40 am when they parked the car and entered the restaurant.
There were still 20 minutes to the agreed time.
Wu Qiuyun ordered the dishes in advance and asked the restaurant to serve them at twelve oâclock.
However, to Wu Qiuyun and Ji Yuanyuanâs surprise, Doctor Qi had also arrived early.
At around 11:50, a man in casual clothes entered the restaurant.
After entering, he looked around and walked to Wu Qiuyun and Ji Yuanyuanâs table.
âTeacher Wu, I am Qi Hongwei.â The man greeted Wu Qiuyun politely.
Wu Qiuyun had been teaching at B University for many years, so it was normal for Qi Hongwei to recognize her.
Moreover, Wu Qiuyun and Zhou Hua were boyfriend and girlfriend back then, and they taught in the same school.
Inevitably, Wu Qiuyun had also met Zhou Huaâs students a few times.
Wu Qiuyun stood up and looked at Qi Hongwei carefully. She could barely associate the mature and steady man in front of her with the young man in her memory.
She patted Qi Hongweiâs shoulder, âLittle Qi has changed a lot in the past few years. You look much more mature than before.â
âMs. Wu, Iâm almost thirty years old.â Qi Hongwei pushed his glasses up shyly.
âSenior Brother Qi, please take a seat.â Ji Yuanyuan, who was standing at the side, pulled out the chair.
Qi Hongwei looked at Ji Yuanyuan. Wu Qiuyun quickly introduced her to him,
âThis is my student. Sheâs my favorite student. You can call her Junior Sister Ji.â
Wu Qiuyun even emphasized that Ji Yuanyuan was her proudest student, which surprised Ji Yuanyuan.
After all, Wu Qiuyun was not the kind of teacher who would praise others. She had always been strict. No matter how well you did, she would only sav âItâs okay.â
Therefore, Wu Qiuyunâs sudden transformation was indeed worthy of Ji Yuanyuanâs surprise.
Qi Hongwei sat down on the chair and smiled. âIn my impression, Teacher Wu rarely praises people.â
Ji Yuanyuan could only pretend to be honest and smile, âNo, no. Teacher Wu is flattering me.â
After saying that, Ji Yuanyuan looked at Wu Qiuyun and asked for her opinion, âTeacher, should I ask the boss to serve the dishes now? Senior Brother Qi doesnât have much time to rest at noon. Letâs hurry up.â
âAlright, go and urge them.â Wu Qiuyun nodded.
Ji Yuanyuan stood up and went to the front desk.
Qi Hongwei looked up at Wu Qiuyun, âOur hospital does have a short lunch break. I wonât stand on ceremony with you. Letâs talk while eating.â
Wu Qiuyun nodded, âYes, letâs do it like that.â
Not long after Ji Yuanyuan returned, the boss served the dishes.
After all the dishes were served, Wu Qiuyun brought up the matter at school.
A few days ago, a student from B University jumped off the roof of the Tenth Building.â
The few people sitting there were all doctors or future doctors.
Talking about such a bloody matter at the dinner table did not seem too out of place.
Actually, Iâve heard about it too.â Qi Hongweiâs expression turned serious.
âWhat was the reason? Why is it so big?â
Wu Qiuyun spoke again, âThe school said that he was under too much pressure from her studies and had a mental breakdown. Thatâs why he jumped down from upstairs. But I donât think so.â
âWhat do you mean?â Qi Hongwei raised an eyebrow.
âThis student is called Duan Wenguang. Heâs the same as you, also Zhou Huaâs student.â
After Wu Qiuyun finished speaking, Qi Hongwei suddenly froze.
He finally understood why Teacher Wu had asked him to come today.
âBack then, Cheng Lin was only a year older than you, right? I vaguely remember that the two of you seem to have a good relationship.â Wu Qiuyun asked while the iron was hot..
