Chapter 368: Chapter 258: No Need to Offend Others for Me

Hearing these filthy words being hurled at Tang Xi, Song Yanchu raised his voice, having no good feelings towards the woman in front of him, "Gao Youhan, if you don’t watch your language, you can leave right now."

"Who are you to control me? Is this place owned by your family? I am also a guest here, I’ll stay if I want to, and I won’t leave if I don’t want to. Dream on if you think I will apologize to such a woman!" said Gao Youhan, feigning elegance as she sat down, then called over a waiter and ordered afternoon tea.

Tang Xi tugged at Song Yanchu’s sleeve, signaling to let it go.

She was aware of the Gao Family’s influence in the Northern Island.

Especially since they had successively secured several projects, their power had inflated, unrivaled in the entire Northern Island.

She didn’t know much about the Song Family, only that they were a very low-profile ancient noble family in Northern Island with deep roots, but when inventorying the major corporations on Northern Island, the enterprises under the Song Family were always in the middle to lower echelons.

But the Song Family held a significant status in Northern Island. Although their business profits were average, the elder Song was a former military officer and had many connections. He was still in robust health, and the eldest son of the Song family was in politics, wielding a certain level of influence.

Song Yanchu called in the security personnel, "Please escort Miss Gao out; from now on, we shall refuse service to any member of the Gao Family." After saying this, he looked at Gao Youhan, "You’re right, this private cinema is indeed a property under my name."

Gao Youhan was stunned for two seconds before shrieking, "Song Yanchu, how dare you do this to me, I’ll tell my brother right away!! You think I’m really afraid of you! Ah, let me go, let me go! Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of Gao Chengxiong!" The two bodyguards, strong in their grip, escorted Gao Youhan out as her screaming and cursing gradually faded away.

Tang Xi raised her hand to rub her forehead; she hadn’t expected to encounter Gao Youhan here.

She was someone who disliked trouble.

She watched as Song Yanchu held her hand, the lady’s fingers moved slightly, breaking free. She maintained a distance of one meter from Song Yanchu and spoke softly, "I’m sorry, I have some personal grievances with Gao Youhan. Actually, you shouldn’t have offended the Gao Family because of me... As far as I know, the Gao Family’s influence is enormous in the Northern Island. I’m sorry, Teacher Song, I didn’t mean to trouble you."

At this moment, Song Yanchu’s demeanor softened from the harsh stance he had towards Gao Youhan, first slightly frowning. Then, looking at Tang Xi, with her slim and delicate figure, dressed in a plain fresh white shirt and blue jeans, emanating a casual and elegant vibe. She seemed to be without makeup, her face fair and exquisite. Right now, she was earnestly apologizing with her head lowered.

Song Yanchu said, "Dr. Tang, if anyone should be apologizing, it’s me. I should have informed you beforehand who I was meeting for the arranged date today, asking if it was okay for you to come. I wasn’t aware that you had personal issues with Gao Youhan. You shouldn’t take her words to heart. This lady from the Gao Family has always been arrogant and has a terrible reputation in our circle. You don’t need to worry that I am offending the Gao Family for you. My Song Family is not afraid of them either. I am a man; how can I let my own girlfriend suffer wrongs."

Tang Xi bit her lip slightly, her fingers clenched tightly, "We are just... pretend boyfriend and girlfriend."

"I know, but outside, we are boyfriend and girlfriend. Dr. Tang, I want to tell you, you are outstanding, and if Jianlin likes you, it makes sense."

Tang Xi looked at Song Yanchu.

The man smiled gently at her.

Tang Xi felt awkward, his sincerity made her seem pretentious; she smiled back, "Actually, I am not outstanding, I’m divorced, with a daughter, and both my job and salary are average."

"Being divorced and having a child are not criteria to judge whether a person is outstanding or not. In today’s society, even if someone is divorced, one can still live well. Your daughter is cute and very talented in drawing; I would really like... to take her as my apprentice, I hope Dr. Tang, you would consider this."

Song Yanchu spoke earnestly, his bright, warm eyes earnestly looking at Tang Xi.

He was very sincere in seeking Tang Xi’s opinion, and did not skimp on his compliments for her.

This made Tang Xi feel even more embarrassed.

She had indeed brought trouble upon him.

Song Yanchu indeed broke her prejudice against gentlemen from prestigious families.

Both of them watched a movie in the cinema hall. Song Yanchu told her that when feeling good or bad, coming to watch a movie alone can change your mood, which is why Song Yanchu invested in this private upscale cinema two years ago.

He likes to have two hours of quiet and peace all to himself.

There’s a gathering at the hospital on Thursday.

The community hospital doesn’t have many medical staff to begin with.

It’s a casual gathering.

Several directors will be there.

All together, there should be about twenty people.

Tang Xi originally wanted to decline. She doesn’t like attending these types of events, but since she didn’t go to the last gathering, she felt she should show Director Ying some respect this time and nodded in agreement.

The director also mentioned that it’s a casual gathering where you can bring your boyfriend or husband along so everyone can get to know each other.

Sister Li was there too, "Tang Xi, why don’t you bring young Song along, let us sisters vet him for you, after all, this is a big deal, we who’ve been through it all, have plenty of experience."

The fact that Tang Xi found a new boyfriend with good prospects had spread throughout the department.

"Yes, let us meet him, Tang, you should consider your major life decisions, and don’t be too picky. Settle if it’s suitable. Although you are quite attractive, you still have a child to take care of after all." Speaking was Deputy Director Ying Qiuru.

She’s 37 this year and very well-maintained; her uncle is the head of this hospital, so she never worries about offending people.

Besides, in her eyes, Tang Xi is just a small fry in the hospital.

But Tang Xi frowned.

She really hated it when people referred to her daughter as a burden.

At that moment, Gu Zhiyi came over, raising her eyebrows, "Yes, don’t be too picky. After two divorces, just settle with a slaughterhouse butcher next door, that would do. Still thinking one is young, not young anymore and with multiple divorces, people who don’t know might think you’re some fairy descended from heaven, still dreaming of marrying a young and powerful CEO, right, Director Ying?"

Gu Zhiyi’s sarcastic remarks instantly sparked whispers in the entire office.

Everyone knows Ying Qiuru has been divorced twice, and just a few days ago, she got involved with a young Casanova who conned her out of over a hundred thousand before ditching her. And although Ying Qiuru isn’t young, she only loves young men.

This is common knowledge throughout the hospital.

But because Ying Qiuru’s uncle is the head of the hospital, others dared not offend her.

Only Gu Zhiyi dared to speak like this.
