Mr. Song, you have crossed the line.

Rong Zheng wanted to ask Song Shiyan how he knew she was in trouble, but then she thought, if Dean Zhang told Zhou Chiyao, then Zhou Chiyao must have told Song Shiyan. She also wanted to ask why he told Song Shiyan about her situation.

But then she remembered that Zhou Chiyao had specifically mentioned that Song Shiyan was the behind-the-scenes director of the hospital, and that Song Shiyan was responsible for the special recruitment and severe punishment of those involved in Jiang Jia's suicide. He told her that perhaps he knew Song Shiyan's feelings for her.

But now that Song Shiyan has said that the two of them will get along normally in the future, it would be inappropriate for her to ask any more questions.

That's why I hesitated.

She wasn't so shameless as to expect Song Shiyan to come pick her up personally. Although when the police said someone was coming to pick her up, she thought it was Song Shiyan, it was just a subconscious thought because it seemed that Song Shiyan would appear every time she was in trouble.

It wasn't that he didn't come; she even had the audacity to ask him why he hadn't come.

She's nobody to him, she has no right to ask that.

"no."

Zhou Chiyao seemed not to hear Rong Zheng's words, and said to himself while driving, "Brother Yan is away on a business trip. He left an important overseas client behind to go to Jiangcheng a couple of days ago, and now he's accompanying that client to do a project inspection."

Why did you leave behind an important overseas client to go to Jiangcheng?

Song Shiyan went to Jiangcheng for her.

Rong Zheng hurriedly asked, "Is the impact significant?"

Zhou Chiyao truthfully replied, "I'm not entirely sure either, but this client has been supporting Yan Ge ever since he returned to the Song family. Their interests must be quite intertwined. According to the rules in our circle, if someone leaves halfway through, they will definitely have to make concessions later."

Since she was an important client, the discounts she received must have been substantial, but Song Shiyan had never mentioned any of this to her.

Rong Zheng discovered that Song Shiyan and Lu Peichuan had completely different styles of doing things.

Lu Peichuan wanted the whole world to know how much he doted on her and how good he was to her. He didn't know that before his affair, she was the envy of everyone in the industry, Mrs. Lu, which made her mistakenly believe that she was truly happy.

So much so that even when he neglected her in many ways later on, she never thought he would betray her. She just thought he was really busy. It was because he had created such a deeply affectionate persona that it was so convincing.

Song Shiyan is the kind of person who works quietly behind the scenes and does things without saying a word. He doesn't do anything superficial; he only does practical things, which makes people feel from the bottom of their hearts that he is a reliable and dependable person.

"Dr. Rong, did you also go to Jiangcheng a couple of days ago?"

Zhou Chiyao's question brought Rong Zheng back to her senses. "Hmm."

"I see." He was wondering why Yan Ge, that workaholic, would suddenly abandon important clients and run off to Jiangcheng; it turned out he was going to see his sweetheart.

I see. Although it's only four simple words, the meaning is very clear. It's normal for Song Shiyan to abandon important clients for her. Doesn't that just show how much Song Shiyan cares for her? Does Zhou Chiyao know that?

Rong Zheng moved her lips, wanting to explain, but found herself at a loss for words.

Things aren't as you think?

Yan and I don't have the kind of relationship you're thinking of.

Isn't this just like protesting too much?

Moreover, Song Shiyan has already suffered such a great loss for her, yet she is still in a hurry to sever ties with him here; it's simply too heartless.

Fine, let him think what he wants. Anyway, Song Shiyan and she have already made things clear that from now on, Song Shiyan will be Tangtang's uncle and her savior. Apart from that, the two of them will have no other relationship.

Just then, Attorney Qian called. "Ms. Rong, we found out that the person who was giving Ms. Zhao Yuxiang advice was Liu Xinxin. According to her, she is your colleague in the same department."

Rong Zheng's eyes showed surprise. She never expected that Liu Xinxin would get in touch with Zhao Yuxiang. However, this lawyer Qian was really efficient. No wonder he could become Song Shiyan's private lawyer. "He is indeed my colleague."

"Miss Rong, how do you intend to deal with this person?"

Rong Zheng wasn't very familiar with the law. "What can be done?"

"If the investigation confirms that she instigated others to deliberately cause trouble, it constitutes incitement to provoke trouble. At the very least, she will be detained and fined, and in serious cases, she may be treated as the principal offender."

Last time, Liu Xinxin deliberately pushed Jiang Jia, a troublesome patient, onto her. If Jiang Jia had really gotten into trouble that time, her career might have been ruined. This time, she actually instigated Zhao Yuxiang behind her back. She always does these underhanded things, which is really disgusting.

It seems the demotion last time hasn't taught her a lesson. In that case, let the police teach her a lesson.

Rong Zheng said coldly, "Follow the procedures strictly."

"Understood."

Zhou Chiyao waited until Rong Zheng hung up the phone before speaking, "Was that Attorney Qian?"

"Yes, I found out who was behind it all – a colleague from my department."

Zhou Chiyao frowned. "What, another troublemaker is trying to harm you? It seems the punishment last time wasn't enough to make an example of you."

"It's the same person as last time."

"Hospitals are places for saving lives, but she resorts to underhanded tricks. People with such questionable character don't deserve to stay in a hospital."

Rong Zheng knew that Zhou Chiyao meant to fire Liu Xinxin. She pursed her lips and remained silent. Keeping someone like Liu Xinxin in the hospital would indeed be a disaster. With such a wicked heart, how could she guide the patients?

The car drove into Jinxiu Huating and stopped in front of Rong Zheng's apartment building.

Zhou Chiyao turned to look at Rong Zheng in the back seat, "Brother Yan will probably be away on business for a while. Dr. Rong, you can call me if you need anything."

This sounds like, "Your husband is away on a business trip, and as his best friend, I have to take good care of you. Call me if you need anything."

Rong Zheng gave an awkward smile and said, "Okay."

While cooking in the kitchen, Xu Ma kept an eye on the commotion outside. When Rong Zheng returned, she immediately turned off the stove and went out, saying in a low voice, "Zheng Zheng, President Lu is here."

Rong Zheng glanced around.

Xu Ma pointed to the children's room, "She's in there with Tangtang."

Rong Zheng nodded. "I'll go take a look."

"The food will be ready soon, and we can eat right away."

"Um."

Rong Zheng walked to the door of the children's room and saw Lu Peichuan sitting on the edge of the bed holding Tangtang. Tangtang's soft white hands were tightly gripping a handful of Lu Peichuan's hair. He leaned into her arms following her grip and gently coaxed, "Baby, you're hurting Daddy, let go, okay?"

Upon looking up, he saw Rong Zheng standing at the door and hurriedly called for help, "Zheng Zheng, come and help me quickly."

Rong Zheng walked over quickly, gently pried her daughter's little hands apart, and took her daughter from Lu Peichuan's arms. "How could you grab Daddy's hair?"

"It's okay. I was rubbing my face against hers, and she probably felt uncomfortable. She grabbed my hair, and I was afraid of hurting her, so I didn't pull hard."

Rong Zheng carefully searched her daughter's hands for any remaining hair. Children like to put their hands in their mouths, and it wouldn't be good if any hair ended up in their mouths.

After checking, she turned to Lu Peichuan and asked, "Why are you here?"
