Chapter 123: Chapter 116: Cooperation

"This... doesn’t seem appropriate..."

"What’s inappropriate about it? Dr. Xu has been on sick leave for the past few days, he doesn’t even know you were in the emergency department. Don’t be fooled by his haughty demeanor and unapproachable appearance; he’s actually a good person. Not only is his medical skill impressive, but he also has a good personality." Xu Jiayi’s face blushed slightly as she spoke.

Tang Xi chuckled softly. "It seems you’ve fallen for him."

"How could that be?" Xu Jiayi blinked, "Tang Xi, you’re making things up!"

Tang Xi looked at her, "You’ve already written the word ’like’ all over your face."

Xu Jiayi didn’t retort, and unable to help herself, she looked at Tang Xi and asked, "He’s such an outstanding person, and many girls would like him. Tang Xi, do you like him?"

"Me?" Tang Xi smiled. "I’ve only just met him recently... We are just ordinary colleagues."

Hearing Tang Xi say this brought a smile to Xu Jiayi’s face, "Then do you have someone you like? You’re so beautiful, Tang Xi, there must be a lot of guys pursuing you."

Tang Xi responded, "Right now, I just want to focus on work."

At the moment, all she wanted was to live her life well, save some money, and take good care of the child in her womb.

Later, when they finished work, Xu Jiayi took her to Xu Yiran’s home. Xu Jiayi bought dinner on the way, and upon reaching Xu Yiran’s doorstep, she took out her cell phone and called him.

Xu Jiayi said, "How can you not eat when you’re sick? I brought some congee and side dishes, all very bland. Oh and... Tang Xi came with me too, she’s been transferred to the emergency department."

After the call ended.

The security office received Xu Yiran’s call, and the guard let them in with a smile on his face.

Xu Yiran’s residence was in a high-end district of North City, with nice surroundings, a good location, and very strict security.

Xu Yiran opened the door, wearing a set of ash-gray home wear, his hair soft and natural, carrying the youthful handsomeness of a lean figure.

He glanced at Tang Xi, "You... you’re in the emergency department now?"

Tang Xi nodded, extending her hand with a polite smile, "From now on, we’re colleagues, please take good care of me."

Xu Yiran slowly lifted his hand to grasp the woman’s slender fingers and then let go, murmuring a low ’hmm’, and when he looked towards Tang Xi, he concealed the gleam in his eyes and the joy he felt when he heard she had come to the emergency department.

Xu Jiayi placed the dinner on the table, "I didn’t know what you like to eat, so I just bought something random. Dr. Xu, you have no idea how busy the department has been since you took your sick leave..."

Xu Yiran said, "I will return to the department tomorrow. You don’t need to come here to bring dinner anymore."

Xu Jiayi bit her lip, "Is it the food I bought not to your taste? You don’t look fully recovered; you should rest at home a few more days."

Xu Yiran simply said, "You’ve been a big help these past few days."

Tang Xi seemed to notice Xu Jiayi had feelings for Xu Yiran, so she sat at the end of the sofa, trying to give them some space.

However, she also felt Xu Yiran’s cool mood, worrying that Xu Jiayi might be upset. Tang Xi came to her aid and chimed in, "Yeah, rest a few more days, you need to be healthy to have the energy to work."

Xu Yiran turned his gaze toward Tang Xi, his eyes carrying a gentle smile, "That’s right... Dr. Tang, what brought you to the emergency department?"

Tang Xi forced a bitter smile, "I’m following the hospital’s arrangements."

Xu Yiran understood in an instant. Being in the emergency department, being transferred—it might not have been what Tang Xi wanted.

The phrase ’following arrangements’ clearly showed how passive Tang Xi was.

Subconsciously, he wanted to show his concern, "Did something happen?"

Tang Xi shook her head, "Nothing. It’s all good."

That night, when Tang Xi returned to her rented apartment, she discovered that the electricity and water were cut off.

It was already ten o’clock at night; she immediately called the landlord to inquire about the situation.

The voice on the other end was the landlord’s shrill voice, "Have you forgotten what date it is today? You didn’t mention extending your lease either! I’m not running a charity here, pack up your things and leave quickly, I need to rent it out!"

It was only then that Tang Xi remembered, she had thought she was going overseas, so she had terminated the rental agreement with the landlord, planning to stay just a few more days.

And now...

"I’m sorry, I’ll transfer the rent to your WeChat right now, I’ll rent it for another month."

Tang Xi sat on the sofa, hugging herself in the darkness.

As time ticked by, the air was stuffy and dry.

About fifteen minutes passed, the electricity came back, and the fan dispelled the residual heat.

Tang Xi charged her phone, just as it vibrated.

It was from Cheng Yunlang.

She didn’t answer.

She had already been transferred to the emergency department... Away from thoracic surgery, she didn’t want to have anything to do with Cheng Yunlang anymore, her life couldn’t withstand any waves.

She couldn’t lose this hard-earned job.

At this moment, a text message came through to her phone.

It was from Cheng Yunlang.

"Tang Xi, I know it’s because of me, my mother transferred you to the emergency department, I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to help you during your suspension, and this time, because of me, you were transferred away from thoracic surgery, I’ll explain things to my mother."

Meanwhile, at the Cheng family home.

Fu Jingrong was furious, staring at her most proud son, "Yun Lang, have you lost your mind? Do you realize what you’re saying? You actually like Tang Xi!!"

"Do you know who Tang Xi is? She’s Fu Tingzhou’s wife, you should be calling her ’Third Sister-in-law’!"

"Moreover, what is her status? A plain background, poles apart from our family, I will never allow such a woman to ruin your future!"

When the word ’future’ was mentioned, Cheng Yunlang couldn’t help but laugh, "Mom, you want me to marry Qiao Jing, simply because you see some benefits in the Qiao family, you just want to use a marriage alliance for your benefits. But have you ever considered how I feel? Have you ever considered if I like Qiao Jing? My marriage, just a tool for you to expand the market?"

For the first time, a crack appeared on the face of this ever-genteel nobleman, as Cheng Yunlang struggled to control his emotions, "If you do anything to Tang Xi, if Tang Xi leaves the hospital, I’ll also leave the First Hospital."

"You!—" Fu Jingrong’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She couldn’t comprehend that her son would say such things.

All of this was because of Tang Xi!

What kind of seductive tricks did that woman use to turn her son into this?

No, she couldn’t let Tang Xi destroy her son.

Late at night, Fu Jingrong made a phone call.

"I transferred Tang Xi to the emergency department, from now on keep a close eye on her, and inform me immediately if you see any irregularities."

She opened her laptop, looking at that video.

Fu Jingrong took the initiative to contact the other party, "Who are you and what do you want?"

The voice on the other end, altered by a voice changer, was Su Mengshu, "You don’t need to know who I am, you just need to know, I don’t like Tang Xi either, we both have a common person we dislike, a shared goal."

"Dean Fu, Tang Xi is a very scheming woman, expert at seducing rich men with her wiles, Xiao Chi was completely fooled by her before, she always targets the young masters of wealthy families, presenting herself as kind, gentle, and pitiable to gain sympathy, Young Master Cheng has fallen right into her trap, rest assured Dean Fu, with our cooperation, I will help you get rid of Tang Xi."
