"I don’t think it’s necessary to be hospitalized..."
"Miss, I have to remind you that the brain isn’t like other organs. You might feel fine now, but that doesn’t mean there’s no problem."
"Fang Qing, the doctor is right. You have to get checked!"
Ignoring Fang Qing’s opinion, Tong Dan told the doctor, "We’ll stay here for the night."
The doctor looked at Fang Qing.
Fang Qing couldn’t be stubborn anymore, she could only remain silent.
"Okay, go ahead, seventh floor."
The doctor completed the paperwork.
"Thank you, doctor."
Tong Dan offered to help Fang Qing.
"I’m fine, I’m not crippled."
Fang Qing refused her kindness, insisting on walking on her own.
"Are you sure you’re okay?"
"It’s just a minor injury. You’re making too much of a fuss. I fell off a tree when I was young, and I was still jumping around."
Leaving the emergency room, the two of them ran into Mao Dun head-on.
"Lawyer Fang."
Tong Dan immediately scowled, "What are you doing here?"
Mao Dun’s face showed embarrassment.
Fang Qing nudged her with an elbow and said with a smile, "Mister Tong, there’s no need for such trouble..."
"How can there be no need? It’s very necessary. Lawyer Fang, what did the doctor say? There shouldn’t be any serious problems, right?"
"It’s nothing..."
Fang Qing hadn’t finished speaking when Tong Dan took her arm, "Let’s go."
Fang Qing was pulled past Mao Dun.
Mao Dun didn’t mind and shamelessly turned around to follow.
"Which floor?"
He even rushed to get into the elevator first.
"There’s no need to trouble yourself; you can go back."
Tong Dan expressionlessly pressed the button for the seventh floor.
Mao Dun acted as if he hadn’t heard and struck up a conversation with Fang Qing, "Lawyer Fang, are you going upstairs to be hospitalized?"
Fang Qing bore no grudge for his earlier inaction, "The doctor suggested I have a brain examination tomorrow."
Mao Dun nodded, "Yes, that’s wise. The brain is the most important part after all. An examination will give peace of mind."
Fang Qing smiled.
Seeing this, Mao Dun felt even more that she was unlike others.
At this age, not to mention girls, even boys—how many could remain so composed in the face of insult or praise?
"Ding."
The elevator doors opened.
Tong Dan immediately escorted Fang Qing out.
Mao Dun followed like a shadow.
Nurse station.
"Do you have private rooms here?"
"Yes, but they are a bit more expensive."
"Give us a private room."
Tong Dan was about to pay when Mao Dun took out his phone, eager to say, "I’ll pay."
"We don’t know him,"
Tong Dan told the nurse, and with that one sentence, Master Mao found himself in an awkward position.
"Let’s go."
After paying, Tong Dan and Fang Qing were led to the room by the nurse.
The nurse made the bed and explained a few precautions, "If you need anything, just ring the bell, and we’ll come right away."
"Thank you."
The nurse left.
"You should lie down."
"I’m not disabled."
"Heh..."
An inappropriate laugh echoed.
Tong Dan turned her head, her eyebrows arching, "Why haven’t you left yet?"
Mao Dun quickly suppressed his smile, saying earnestly, "I came to see how Lawyer Fang was doing."
"Tong Dan."
Fang Qing signaled for her best friend to be a little more polite, but Tong Dan turned a deaf ear.
"Mao Dun, Master Mao, don’t you find yourself amusing? When Fang Qing was attacked, you said nothing, playing dumb. Now you’re trying to play the good guy? Do you think it’s necessary?"
Mao Dun had no response, his complexion turning stiff.
"Tong Dan, this matter has nothing to do with Master Mao,"
Fang Qing stressed.
She knew why Tong Dan was so angry.
At the same time, she could understand Mao Dun’s choice.
She and he were neither kin nor friends; why should she expect him to stand up for her?
As a lawyer, she had to learn to always look at things from an objective perspective, not from a moral high ground to coerce others.
Just like that saying.
Helping you is a matter of kindness, not helping is a matter of principle.
"I know it has nothing to do with him."
Tong Dan looked towards Fang Qing, "Your hospitalization has nothing to do with him either, right?"
"..."
Fang Qing was at a loss for words for a moment.
"Tong Dan, this was underhanded of me, and I sincerely apologize to you and Lawyer Fang."
Mao Dun was earnest and extremely sincere, not only that, but he even bowed deeply.
For a wealthy, carefree man to do this was truly commendable.
"You don’t need to apologize, you did nothing wrong, the person at fault is me. I shouldn’t have gone there, and I definitely shouldn’t have brought Fang Qing."
It sounded like she was being petulant, but in truth, these were the heartfelt words of Tong Dan.
Rather than blaming Mao Dun, she blamed herself even more.
If she hadn’t been meddling before, if she hadn’t been so enthusiastic in inviting Ding He today, none of this would have happened.
The main culprit wasn’t anyone else, it was herself.
"Alright, the doctor said it’s not a big deal, so don’t dwell on it. Each of you is apologizing, so should I also apologize for ruining your party?"
Fang Qing joked.
"Heh heh..."
Mao Dun gave a couple of obliging laughs.
"You barely ate just now, I’ll go get some late-night snacks. You should rest for a bit."
After Tong Dan spoke to Fang Qing, she immediately said to Mao Dun: "Come out with me."
"Lawyer Fang, you rest first."
Fang Qing nodded.
Following Tong Dan out the door, Mao Dun closed it behind him, "Fei Hong said he was coming too, should be arriving soon. I’ll send him a message to bring some food, save us a trip."
Mao Dun took out his phone.
Tong Dan watched him write the message, "How formidable is that Fang Jun?"
Mao Dun furrowed his brows, continued finishing the message, sent it, and then looked up.
"Why are you asking this?"
"Shouldn’t I ask? Fang Qing is my best sister."
Tong Dan seemed to have calmed down.
Of course, she wasn’t foolish.
At the same time.
She also had a clear understanding of Mao Dun’s character.
If it hadn’t been too much trouble, he wouldn’t have just stood by and watched.
"I know she’s your best friend, you’ve mentioned it before. But Tong Dan, it’s best to let this matter rest now."
Mao Dun put away his phone, with unprecedented seriousness.
"Let it rest? You mean to say Fang Qing was beaten for nothing?"
Mao Dun’s lips moved, "...Didn’t the doctor say there was no major issue?"
"No major issue, so we should just laugh it off? If I beat you up, can you generously tell yourself that since you’re not dead or disabled, it’s no big deal?"
Mao Dun gave a wry smile, "If you think beating me up will make you feel better, go ahead, make your move. I won’t resist."
Tong Dan glared and raised her fist at the ready.
Mao Dun hurriedly stepped back.
Tong Dan stood her ground, "Didn’t you say you’d let me hit you?"
"You’re actually serious?"
Tong Dan lowered her hand, "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself. If you duck away so quickly yourself, how can you expect us to be magnanimous?"
Mao Dun thought he was good with words, but somehow it seemed like he was no match for her.
"So what do you want to do? Hit back? We live in a society ruled by law now; this kind of action is not encouraged."
"I could sue her for intentional assault under the pretense of stirring up trouble."
Sure enough, she’s a lawyer’s friend, learned some things.
Mao Dun fell silent.
"Tong Dan, let’s not make a big deal out of it, let the matter rest. It’s not worth making a fuss now."
"Making a fuss? You just said we live in a society ruled by law, didn’t you? So I can’t deal with this legally?"
Mao Dun looked at her.
"What if the law can’t help you with this issue?"
No longer the naive child, Tong Dan chuckled.
"Are you saying there’s no justice to be had?"
"The regulations state that airlines should compensate passengers for flight delays, but does your airline always compensate passengers when you have unexpected delays or cancellations?"
"Every company has a clause in their terms saying that the final interpretation belongs to the company."
Mao Dun spoke evenly and deliberately: "The law, in fact, is the same."
Tong Dan fell silent for a while, her hands clenched and relaxed repeatedly.
"...Are you saying Fang Qing should just swallow the humiliation she endured tonight?"
"In this world, who hasn’t suffered an injustice?"
"That’s such a comforting reason."
Tong Dan laughed, "According to you, if we knew someone even more formidable than that Fang Jun, could we beat up that Fang Ai?"
"Yes."
Mao Dun answered without hesitation, decisively, "But do you know anyone like that?"
Tong Dan’s speech faltered as her lips slowly pressed together.
