Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The sunshine today is exceptionally warm; the temperature, neither too hot nor too cold, feels pleasantly warm on the skin, making every cell in the body feel relaxed and comfortable.

At the same time, a Porsche and a brand-new, shiny red Mercedes sports car were parked at the entrance of the Imperial Capital Hospital, slowly coming to a stop in the parking space, while a motorcycle slowly pulled up to the side.

The woman startled Su Xue in the car, who quickly got out to check on her. She was wearing a pink off-shoulder dress and white shoes, and had a smug look on her face. "Why are you driving so recklessly, you're a girl! Can't you slow down? You're a mother of one, can't you be a little more steady?"

Su Xue berated Tang Junyao, who was still straddling the motorcycle. Tang Junyao was not in a hurry and just waited quietly for her to finish. She leaned over the front of the motorcycle, looked to the side, and was wearing the helmet that Ji Hancheng had given her.

I looked at her through the helmet.

Su Xue felt uneasy and guilty under her gaze, and couldn't maintain her composure. "Ahem, that was just to warn you to be careful, I didn't mean anything by it."

Seeing that she had given up, Tang Junyao took off her helmet, tossed her hair, put the helmet on the motorcycle, straddled one leg, and leaned against the motorcycle. "Come on, tell me, what made you put on such a great show? I'm all ears."

After saying that, he even picked his ear as if to cooperate. "Let's begin."

Having been together for so many years, Tang Junyao knew Su Xue's nature all too well; she just wanted to take the initiative to tell her everything that had happened.

This girl can't keep things to herself.

Before Su Xue could speak, a voice came from afar, interrupting her: "Wow, Yao Yao, you can drive this thing? You're so cool! Oh my god, I'm going to be swayed!"

Han Guoguo stood there seriously, scrutinizing Tang Junyao's outfit. It was a simple white t-shirt with a slit on the right side, which was very trendy. She wore tight light-colored jeans and short Martin boots. Her slightly wavy hair was loose and casually draped over her shoulders. Her light makeup accentuated her well-defined features. In short, she was cool. In three words, she was both cool and beautiful.

Ji Hancheng's judgment is really sharp; no wonder he's been clinging to her like a simp. Now I finally understand why. Han Guoguo stood there, sighing.

Hearing Guoguo's praise, Tang Junyao smiled brightly. Under the warm light, the car and the beautiful woman looked like an exquisite painting. Her simple smile was like the clear sky after the rain—alluring, heartwarming, and comforting.

Han Guoguo walked over and carefully examined her car, while Tang Junyao also stepped aside and leaned against the door of Su Xue's red Mercedes sports car.

Turning to Su Xue, who was awkwardly putting on an act beside him, he said, "Come on, now that we have another audience member, please begin your speech. Would you like some music?"

Su Xue rolled her eyes at her. Upon hearing this, Han Guoguo stopped admiring the motorcycle, turned around, and carefully leaned against it, placing her hand on the black scooter. "Am I cool? Yao Yao, take a nice picture of me. I want to post it on my WeChat Moments. Even though I can't ride it, it doesn't stop me from showing off."

Tang Junyao took her phone, opened the portrait photography app on the phone, and took a beautiful photo of her.

After the photoshoot, Tang Junyao handed the phone to Han Guoguo and said, "Guoguo, you actually look quite good in dresses. This white one suits you well too; it makes you look very feminine."

Han Guoguo smiled slightly: "Thank you, I plan to get my hair cut after get off work."

Let's start from the beginning.

Su Xue said, "Why are you cutting my hair when it's perfectly fine?"

Han Guoguo smiled slightly, "I want to change my hairstyle to change my mood."

Tang Junyao didn't ask. Since Guoguo had decided to cut her hair, she must have thought about it long ago.

Han Guoguo didn't want to continue with the hair issue, so she asked Su Xue, "Xiao Xue, come here and tell us about your good news."

The topic was diverted, and Su Xue excitedly recounted what happened at the dinner table last night, leaving the two of them dumbfounded, especially Han Guoguo, whose mouth could fit an egg.

Tang Junyao mentally processed her words and came to a conclusion: "So, not only did they exchange betrothal gifts over one meal, but they also changed their address, set the wedding date and the day to register the marriage? And they even sent you a car that night?"

Su Xue nodded. Correct. As expected of a top student, she got a perfect score in reading comprehension, not missing a single point.

Han Guoguo took a deep breath. "Wow, your family is the fastest to settle things I've ever seen. You've arranged everything for the rest of your life with just one meal, even your mother-in-law's future pension is sorted out. It's just that your Xiao Nan seems a little pitiful."

Tang Junyao interjected, "It's because all the men were rather pitiful last night; Lu Jinnan wasn't alone."

The three exchanged a smile and nodded in tacit agreement.

Su Xue extended her hand, and the three of them gave each other a high five in unison, then nodded once more.

Tang Junyao missed Xixi a little. It would be even more lively if Xixi were here. Now she was fighting alone in Blue City. She suggested, "Let's take a group photo with Xixi."

Han Guoguo agreed, and the three of them crowded together. Tang Junyao stood in the middle, holding up her phone to take a picture. When she opened the camera, all three of them smiled, revealing what they thought were their most beautiful smiles.

After the photoshoot was completed and sent to Fairy Fortress, Tang Junyao stretched out her slender, fair fingertips and typed on the screen, "Xixi, your sisters are cheering you on! Go for it!"

In just a second, a video call popped up on Xixi's end. The screen showed Xixi wearing pajamas, her hair tied in a bun, looking fresh and innocent, with her brows slightly furrowed. "I miss you all so much. You are so happy."

The group greeted each other, and Han Guoguo asked, "Xixi, how are the preparations for the competition going?"

Tang Junyao: "You're living at school now?"

Xi Xi sat up straight. "Well, we've been in closed training recently, so I'm staying at school for convenience."

Su Xue: "Go for it, Xixi, I believe in you."

Xi Xi truthfully said, "I've been having a problem lately that I just can't solve. I've been working on it for days, and it's driving me crazy."

Tang Junyao patiently offered a few words of advice before hanging up the phone.

Due to limited work time, we cannot discuss this in detail.

Seeing that it was almost time, the group walked into the outpatient building side by side. Tang Junyao casually carried her helmet in her hand and strode towards the entrance.

As soon as I entered, I felt something was off. People around me kept looking at them, and I could even see a few patients pointing and whispering. At first, I thought they just thought they were eye-catching.

It wasn't until the nurse at the information desk called out to her, "Dr. Tang."

The three of them stopped in their tracks and leaned against the service counter. Tang Junyao asked gently, "What's wrong? Is a patient looking for me?"

The nurse pointed to the phone screen, indicating that the nurse was looking at her phone.

Tang Junyao and the others understood. Su Xue took the lead and opened her phone to check the news. The nurses at the service desk were usually quite gossipy, just like Su Xue, and especially loved to read trending topics.

Su Xue only glanced at it before stomping her foot in anger, cursing, "Damn it, which gossipy woman is spreading rumors behind my back and even smearing it in the media? Is she crazy?"

Han Guoguo didn't know what Su Xue had seen that made her so angry. She walked over, took the phone from Su Xue's hand, and looked at it. Good heavens, did the person who leaked this information think they had lived too long? Yao Yao wasn't abandoned at all; she was just keeping a low profile.

The trending topic is: "#A female surgeon surnamed Tang at a hospital in Beijing has a chaotic private life and gave birth out of wedlock."

#Tang Junyao, a surgeon in Beijing, was abandoned by a wealthy second-generation heir and gave birth to an illegitimate child; her character is questionable.

#Tang Junyao suspected of once again trying to seduce a rich second-generation heir and marry into a wealthy family, using her child to manipulate him.

#Tang Junyao from the Capital Hospital tries every trick in the book to marry into a wealthy family

...............

The crowd below was filled with curses, all sorts of things, some even digging up stories about her father having an affair and her mother jumping off a building.

Some people said she was neither a good person nor a good doctor, and that the comments were quite comprehensive, covering all aspects of the issue, almost to the point of digging up her ancestors.

Tang Junyao glanced through the text, her face showing little expression. She had experienced this kind of public opinion when she was young, so this was nothing to her and she didn't feel anything.

She straightened her back and prepared to go to her office. The nurse at the service desk comforted her, "Dr. Tang, we believe in your character. Don't pay attention to what they say. They're just a bunch of keyboard warriors."

Another nurse said, "Yes, they deliberately say unpleasant things, nitpick, and try to get attention. That's just how these people are."

Su Xue was a little worried about her best friend, who was currently angrily cursing the keyboard warriors. "Yao Yao, why don't you... go public with Young Master Ji?"

Tang Junyao knew what Su Xue wanted to say, and shook her head with a smile. Going public could indeed quell the storm immediately, but once it was made public, she probably wouldn't be able to come and go freely in the Imperial Hospital, after all, the labels attached to her would be different.

Furthermore, going public won't solve the fundamental problem. Ji Hancheng even asked her to go public last night, but she refused.

She didn't even ask him to deliver her food in the morning, and she ate lunch at the cafeteria. She didn't want anyone to spread rumors. It wasn't that she was afraid, but she just didn't want to cause trouble.

Han Guoguo also disliked this way of slandering people. "I asked my brother to take down the trending topic. What kind of people are these? They're all perverts who can't stand to see others doing well."

Tang Junyao stopped her, "Don't delete it. If you delete it, some people might think I'm guilty. I'm innocent and have nothing to be afraid of. Do you think I, Tang Junyao, can be brought down by a few rumors?"

"Go to work now, there are only 8 minutes left. Anyone who doesn't want to get scolded should hurry back and change their clothes, quick!"

Seeing that Han Guoguo and Su Xue were standing still, she continued, "I'm really fine. It's nothing serious at all, it doesn't hurt or itch, it's not like I lost a piece of my body."

Seeing that she seemed genuinely unconcerned, Han Guoguo and Su Xue moved towards their office.

Tang Junyao was genuinely unharmed; she wasn't faking it. The harm she suffered as a child went far beyond verbal abuse; it included bullying and physical assault, which were far more severe than this. She didn't even care about this little bit of harm.
