Chapter 10: Chapter 010 Are You Unable to Forget Him?
Everyone was hotly discussing inside, and Jiang Lin stood at the door in silence for a while, but eventually, she let go and turned to leave.
Pingfan Clinic is the only clinic in Fanhua County, the poorest county in Haishi, and since the patients are all poor, the clinic's daily revenue is not good, which naturally means the staff's wages are not high either.
Therefore, the clinic struggles to recruit new people year-round, and those who work here are mostly old staff who have been here for many years.
Jiang Lin was always fully committed to her work and her patients, without much deep interaction with her colleagues. She always thought that everyone just did their own job without infringing on each other, but she never expected that her image in their eyes would turn out like this.
It was... quite unique.
Just as she reached the end of the hallway, a young nurse ran over to her, "Doctor Jiang, quick, quick, another patient has arrived outside."
Hearing that a new patient had arrived, Jiang Lin grabbed the nurse and hurried towards the emergency room, "Let's talk while we walk."
"Linlin!"
The two of them quickly got to the emergency room, and as the familiar call reached her ears, Jiang Lin was engulfed by a familiar, warm presence.
Jiang Lin stood in place, stunned for a moment, before she reacted and exclaimed with surprise, "Liangliang, what are you doing here? When did you come back?"
"I just came to see you soon after getting off the plane," Wu Liang hugged Jiang Lin, touching and squeezing her excitedly, "Let me see if our Linlin has gained any weight after not seeing her for three years."
Jiang Lin and Wu Liang were naturally happy to see each other after three years, but Jiang Lin had more pressing matters at hand.
She put on gloves while comforting her, "Liangliang, I have an emergency patient who needs immediate treatment, please wait for me in the visitor's room."
Wu Liang grabbed her and pointed at the handsome young man on the chair, "It's him."
"Him?" Jiang Lin approached the handsome man to examine him closely and found that he wasn't injured.
She then asked the nurse to take him into the emergency room for a thorough check-up, only to find out that he had a minor soft tissue contusion on his index finger.
"..."
Upon further questioning, she learned that it was Wu Liang who had been rear-ended by his car on the way from the airport to see her. Wu Liang herself wasn't hurt, but the other party had suffered a light injury.
Wu Liang clung to Jiang Lin's arm and cooed, "He was making a fuss about me taking responsibility, so I brought him here. Also, in Haishi, I only trust your clinic, so I thought I'd bring you guys some business."
"Oh, I really thank you for that!" came the sarcastic voice from the handsome young man behind her.
Wu Liang turned and glared viciously at him, then turned back to Jiang Lin with her voice even sweeter:
"Linlin, he says his injury is very serious, you might as well operate on his finger. That way he won't come back to bother me with any issues later on."
"Sure!" The man shook his finger as if shifting the blame onto Wu Liang, "If you're willing to pay, I'm happy to oblige. For my surgery fees, post-op nutritional fees, please make sure everything is prepared."
Looking at the bickering pair in front of her, Jiang Lin felt a headache coming on.
Giving the diagnosis back to him, Jiang Lin said, "Mr. Han Chenyang, you're not badly hurt, you can go home now."
"Alright!" Han Chenyang quickly stood up, ready to leave.
As he was about to leave, he seemed to remember something, turned around, glanced at Wu Liang, and sneered, reminding Jiang Lin, "I can tell that Doctor Jiang is a very professional and rational person. You really should keep your distance from certain erratic people; otherwise, you'll end up being dragged into messes."
"You!" Wu Liang, infuriated, threw her handbag hard at him, but Han Chenyang deftly dodged it.
"I've got important things to deal with, so I won't argue with you!" He dusted off his hands and then turned and left the emergency room.
Outside the clinic, Han Chenyang slammed the car door and furiously started calling Fu Sitian's number on his cell phone. After being hung up on, he continued to call.
Today has really brought the worst luck! He must make the instigator feel what it's like.
Ten minutes later, the phone was finally picked up.
"Tell me, President Fu, you're finally free to pay attention to me... Don't even mention it, today I got hit by a crazy woman, and it's you who made me come back, you'll have to reimburse these expenses..."
There was a lot of dissatisfaction and complaint in Han Chenyang's tone.
Fu Sitian: "…You're at Pingfan Clinic?"
Han Chenyang paused, "Yeah, so?"
"Who treated you?"
"A doctor named Jiang Lin." Han Chenyang fiddled with his firmly bandaged finger, "Sitian, I've seen it now; this Doctor Jiang is even colder than you."
"…" Fu Sitian's voice was emotionless, "Anything else?"
Han Chenyang was so infuriated by his indifferent attitude that he blew up on the spot, "Fu Sitian, it was you who made me rush back from M country urgently! Who is all this miserable trouble for?"
"I'm reviewing the material for tomorrow's Lu Group shareholder meeting."
Fu Sitian's voice was very serious, and it made Han Chenyang unconsciously sit up straight, his face also turned solemn.
"Those old fogies at Lu Group delusionally think they can sell off the company behind your back; they're daydreaming!" He spat out angrily, "Sitian, tomorrow, we must teach them a harsh lesson, let them know the consequences of angering the eldest son of the Lu Family, Lu Kaiyang!"
"Hmm."
…
Jiang Lin and Wu Liang hadn't seen each other in three years. They had a great time catching up in the clinic until dawn when Jiang Lin began to change clothes to leave with her.
Wu Liang's gaze fell on the ring on Jiang Lin's ring finger, and she suddenly grabbed Jiang Lin's hand, filled with surprise and disbelief: "Linlin, you got married?!"
Reminded by her, Jiang Lin then remembered the husband she had left at home and not yet placated, "Oh no!"
"Linlin!"
"Ah…" She snapped back to reality and looked at her best friend who was about to get angry, hurriedly explaining Fu Sitian's situation.
But the more Wu Liang listened, the more incredible it seemed.
Back then, Jiang Lin and Lu Kaipin's love was passionate and their breakup deeply painful. Such a profound love had caused her to be depressed for many years, silently hiding in a small clinic.
How could she have married someone else so quickly?
And a flash marriage no less?!
"You…" She didn't know whether to feel happy for Jiang Lin or worried, "How could you just marry any man?"
"What part-time job, isn't that saying he's unstable at work, and there's no security in life?"
Wu Liang prattled on like a machine gun.
Seeing Jiang Lin's indifferent face, she mistook it as Jiang Lin having finally moved on from her whirlwind romance with Lu Kaipin, settling for just anyone.
With eyes as round as saucers, Wu Liang asked tentatively:
"Linlin, do you, perhaps, still have feelings for Lu Kaipin?"
