Five years after being dumped, President Jiang became increasingly entangled in...

Whether he admits it or not is not important to Cen Hui.

"Fine, that's enough. You know what you're doing. Go ahead and complain if you want. I'll work hard, and you can't find any fault with me."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her workstation.

This series of actions left Deng Xiao completely bewildered.

hospital.

"Dr. Chung."

Hearing someone call her name, Zhong Qingli turned around in confusion.

"Dr. Jiang."

Although she and Jiang Jin were colleagues at the hospital, they didn't have much interaction.

"I've noticed you've been going to the pediatric cardiac surgery department a lot lately. Do you know anyone there?"

It is indeed suspicious that a cardiothoracic surgeon is always going to pediatric surgery.

Zhong Qingli became wary.

"Yes, I have a friend." She continued, going on from his words.

"Friend? Pediatrics?"

Chung Ching-li laughed, "Is it strange to be friends with children? As a doctor, isn't it necessary to minimize the distance between you and children? Besides, I'm a cardiac surgeon, so it's not strange for me to go to pediatrics, is it? Can't I even learn a bit? After all, many things in medicine are interconnected."

That seems to be true.

Jiang Jin forced a smile: "That makes sense."

"If Dr. Jiang has nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Watching her departing figure, Jiang Jin pondered for a long while.

Not right.

With that in mind, he went straight to the nurses' station, struck up a conversation with the nurses, and successfully got some information out of them.

However, he was still shocked when he learned the result.

Chung Ching-li has a four-year-old daughter at such a young age?

He really wanted to see it for himself.

His expression changed slightly when he saw that name; he became even more interested.

Xu Weiyi.

Zhong Qingli's daughter's surname is Xu?

Curiosity drove her to the ward.

Through the door, Jiang Jin saw Zhong Qingli playing around with a little girl.

He became more and more familiar with the little girl, and after looking at her for a long time, he finally remembered her.

Isn't this the little girl I saw in the hospital room the other day?

She's Zhong Qingli's child? Then why would she call Xu Chaoxi "Mom"? Could it be...?

Just as she was getting to the crucial point, Zhong Qingli rudely pushed open the door, her face showing displeasure: "Dr. Jiang, why are you still following me?"

Jiang Jin's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before moving to Xu Weiyi's face.

"Is she your daughter?"

Zhong Qingli's hands clenched instantly, and her heart tightened as well, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Yes, what's wrong?" she said calmly.

"And you just said..."

"Do I need to explain everything to you? Isn't that my privacy?"

Two sentences left Jiang Jin speechless.

That seems to make sense.

This woman seemed aloof and indifferent, but I never expected her to be so sharp-tongued.

"Dr. Chung, we don't seem to have any grudges, do we? Why are you being so aloof?"

"We have no enmity, but we can't be considered friends either."

So there's no obligation for me to speak nicely to him.

Jiang Jin raised an eyebrow and looked at Yi Yi, who was also curious.

"Your daughter's surname is Xu?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"Sure." It's just too much of a coincidence.

"Is your husband's last name Xu?"

"Dr. Jiang." Zhong Qingli's face darkened. "I've said it before, I have no obligation to tell you my private information. I don't need to tell you my daughter's surname or my husband's surname."

"OK".

She was too distant, and Jiang Jin couldn't get any information out of her, so he simply gave up on the idea.

"Then I'll be going now."

Only after watching him leave did Zhong Qingli secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

When Xu Chaoxi returned, she quickly told him about what Jiang Jin had inquired about.

Xu Chaoxi's face showed visibly tense: "What else did he ask?"

"I didn't tell him, and he left after not getting any information from me."

Xu Chaoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did he suddenly ask? Did he find out something?" Zhong Qingli asked. "Did Jiang Jingsi find out something?"

"Probably not." If he knew, Jiang Jingsi wouldn't have been so indifferent.

Jiang Jin is most likely here to test the waters.

"I managed to brush it off today, so it should be fine, right?" Zhong Qingli asked worriedly, afraid that she might let something slip and arouse Jiang Jin's suspicion.

"It's alright, we've done everything perfectly, they won't know."

Since she wasn't on her household registration, even if someone were to investigate, they wouldn't be able to trace her back to her.

Jiang Jin, who had finally managed to get a day off, went to the JT Building with a grin on his face.

"Brother Si, it's been a long time. Your company has really been transformed."

"Did you come here just to flatter me?" Cui Xingye joked when he heard this in the office.

"I'm here to talk to Brother Si about something. I happen to be off today, how about we grab a drink after get off work?"

"Forget it, Jing Si has a bad stomach. Didn't you say so yourself? Jing Si can't drink alcohol."

"So, Brother Si is done drinking and refusing to drink?"

The two argued back and forth, giving Jiang Jingsi a headache.

"Can you two shut up? I have a terrible headache."

Jiang Jin shut up reluctantly, then said, "Brother Si, do you remember when I told you about the little girl named Xu Chaoxi's mother?"

Jiang Jingsi's face remained expressionless.

"Brother Si, you didn't react at all? Okay, I have some news for you today. Do you remember, Xu Chaoxi has a friend named Zhong Qingli, who works at the same hospital as me. I saw that little girl today, and she said she's her daughter."

Before Jiang Jingsi could speak, Cui Xingye exclaimed "Ah!" with an expression that said, "I knew it."

"See what I said last time?"

"What's so special about it?" Jiang Jingsi lifted his eyelids slightly, his expression blank.

"There's nothing special about this, but there's one thing that's quite questionable: her daughter's surname is Xu, and Xu Chaoxi happens to have the same surname."

"Can't her husband's surname be Xu?" Cui Xingye said with a sneer. "There are plenty of people in this world with the surname Xu. It's just a coincidence."

"This brings us to something else: Zhong Qingli is unmarried."

Interesting.

Xu Chaoxi and Zhong Qingli, one has a child and the other has been married, both are currently unmarried.

"That's their business, don't pry," Cui Xingye said, frowning.

Nowadays, there are plenty of independent-minded girls. It's not surprising that Zhong Qingli made such a decision, as many women get pregnant out of wedlock and choose to leave their children with their fathers.

But that's their business. If Jiang Jin uses it as a joke, that's not acceptable.

Jiang Jin waved his hand: "What I mean is, is it possible that this child is Xu Chaoxi's?"

This was too much of a coincidence; he couldn't help but think of Xu Chaoxi.

"That makes no sense," Cui Xingye was the first to retort. "I don't know where the logic in your statement lies, and what does it have to do with Xu Chaoxi?"
