"Ah Ji, I'm going too."

Fu Yao stood up, his usually gentle voice now tinged with coldness.

"Since I brought the items back, I naturally have to deliver them myself, right?"

A cold sneer curled at the corner of Fu Yao's lips; she hadn't been this truly angry in a long time.

Cheng Ji and the quadruplets are Fu Yao's deepest sore spot.

Today, Sun Guoqiang, for his own selfish desires, even framed innocent children, forcing the quadruplets to endure the malice of the adult world. This has completely crossed Fu Yao's bottom line.

When she saw Hu Zi's injured state yesterday, she felt sorry for the child. But now, Fu Yao only felt sorry for her own child.

She wanted to see if Tiger really had a fever or if he was faking it.

Cheng Ji looked at her displeased expression and didn't say anything to refuse. He simply picked up her thick cotton-padded coat from the clothes rack.

"You did nothing wrong, and don't regret what you did. Our past isn't about apologizing, but simply stating the facts."

Cheng Ji spoke in a low voice as he personally dressed Fu Yao. The couple then went out into the twilight.

hospital.

Tang Feng looked at Hu Zi, who was lying on the hospital bed with a persistent high fever, with red and swollen eyes.

"It hurts... Grandma, it hurts so much..."

After a day of fever, Tiger's face was abnormally red, his lips were dry and cracked, and every now and then he would mutter a few words about pain.

Tang Feng gently wiped Hu Zi's face with a damp handkerchief. Hearing his cries of pain, tears streamed down her face.

"Old Sun, go ask the doctor what's going on. Why isn't he getting better after the IV drip?"

Tang Feng looked to Sun Guoqiang sitting beside her for help. She didn't know why the child, who was fine yesterday, suddenly developed a high fever this morning that wouldn't go down.

"I just asked the doctor, and he said that Tiger's constitution is weak and the injury on his forehead keeps recurring. There's nothing we can do but slowly bring the fever down using physical methods."

Sun Guoqiang's voice was low and his eyes were full of heartache as he looked at Hu Zi. He really looked like a loving grandfather who cared for his grandchildren, which was completely different from the cold-hearted and greedy man he was yesterday.

Tang Feng noticed that the dark circles under Sun Guoqiang's eyes didn't seem fake, and her initial suspicions gradually subsided.

She hesitated for a moment, about to say something, when Tiger on the bed started whimpering again.

She didn't say anything more, and quickly picked up the child and comforted him.

Looking at Hu Zi, whose face was flushed red in Tang Feng's arms, a trace of pity flashed in Sun Guoqiang's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

He stood up and looked towards the window.

Before long, Fu Yao and Cheng Ji came into his sight.

Sun Guoqiang smiled with satisfaction, looking down at the two of them.

Cheng Ji had a keen sense of smell and quickly spotted Sun Guoqiang hiding behind the window, pretending to be a ghost.

"Ha, as I get older, I'm becoming less and less presentable."

Fu Yao followed Cheng Ji's gaze and also spotted Sun Guoqiang, who had been peeking from behind the window before hurriedly leaving.

"A rat hiding in the gutter will eventually capsize."

Fu Yao scoffed and walked into the hospital side by side with Cheng Ji.

At the nurses' station, Sun Guoqiang was hunched over, holding a basin in his hand, as if he were talking to the nurse.

Seeing Fu Yao and Cheng Ji walk this way, the nurses at the nurses' station all looked over, their eyes filled with the same disgust, as if the two were some kind of bullies who persecuted the virtuous.

Sun Guoqiang, on the other hand, was a far cry from his arrogant demeanor in the ward yesterday. He looked listless, and with his somewhat hunched figure, outsiders would really think he had suffered some great injustice.

Fu Yao was already holding back a grudge, and seeing Sun Guoqiang's attitude, he laughed instead of getting angry.

She nudged Cheng Ji's arm, and the two walked toward Sun Guoqiang.

"Dean Sun, how is Tiger? I heard he has a fever?" Fu Yao asked frankly.

Everyone looked surprised.

Sun Guoqiang was surprised that Fu Yao had so brazenly handed him the handle of the conversation. As for the nurses, they felt that Fu Yao had publicly humiliated them, and their eyes showed even more disgust.

Cheng Ji was very displeased with the way everyone was looking at him. He took a step forward with his tall frame, firmly blocking those gazes from Fu Yao.

Fu Yao looked at the man blocking her way and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Sun Guoqiang looked at the perfect couple in front of him, and the malice in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you deny it yesterday that your child pushed our Tiger? Are you here to watch a show? You're not welcome here."

Sun Guoqiang spoke with agitation, his eyes filled with resentment and a hint of grievance as he looked at Fu Yao and Cheng Ji.

"I never expected that some people, so young and pretty, would actually do something like stealing medical supplies."

One of the nurses couldn't help but speak up for Sun Guoqiang.

Her words were like a spark, instantly igniting the anger of the others.

"Yes, Comrade Sun, don't pay them any mind. The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. Your grandson's fever will definitely break."

"Like father, like son. This child dares to push people at such a young age. If he is not properly disciplined, he will probably be a frequent visitor to the police station in the future."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yao and Cheng Ji's expressions both darkened.

Fu Yao strode forward and walked toward the nurse who had spoken.

"Say what you just said again!"

Fu Yao's voice was icy, and his gaze toward the nurse was cold and ruthless.

Yu Xinjia didn't expect Fu Yao to come straight at her so fiercely. She trembled and forced herself to calm down.

"You don't need to repeat yourself, what's wrong with that? You have the guts to do it, but not the guts to let others say it!"

"Your child pushed Comrade Sun's grandson, and you, as parents, not only didn't apologize, but you even took away the gifts meant as an apology. Shouldn't we be scolded for that?"

"Pah! You two are a professor at a military and political university and a staff member of the Women's Federation, and you still dare to take the college entrance exam? People like you, how could you possibly pass the political background check?"


Sun Guoqiang stood to the side, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

He never expected that casually playing the victim would have such a good effect.

"Oh!"

Hearing Yu Xinjia's barrage of accusations, Fu Yao scoffed.

"Who told you that my son pushed Tiger?"

"First, my son said they didn't push him! Second, Tiger's maternal grandmother also said yesterday that Tiger fell on his own. Third, my wife and I have our own political background checks to be assessed by the organization."

"But you, as a nurse at a military hospital, rely on hearsay, are irresponsible and irresponsible during work hours, and wantonly criticize others. Is this your professional conduct?"

"I think you're the one who should be worried about failing the background check!"

Fu Yao's eyes were sharp, showing no mercy to Yu Xinjia.

She shouldn't have used the child as an excuse.

"Yu Xinjia, right? I will complain to your nursing department."

Cheng Ji stood behind Fu Yao, his expression cold and stern as he stared at Yu Xinjia's nameplate.

Yu Xinjia's face immediately turned pale. She subconsciously looked at Sun Guoqiang beside her, after all, she had just spoken up for him.

Sun Guoqiang's face twitched. He hadn't expected Fu Yao and Cheng Ji to be so shameless, daring to argue with the nurse in front of so many people.

He opened his mouth, about to say something to ease the tension, when he saw Fu Yao and Cheng Ji turn and enter the ward.
